Oh my god, can you play like this?

Chapter 197: My friend's death is not my death

Sure enough, after Gu Shurui finished mumbling, Gu Lanzhi shouted, "Kneel down for me!"

This sound not only scared the women, but also startled Gu Shurui who was beside him.

Gu Lanzhi hated it most when people pointed fingers at him. No matter how unreasonable Qi Anlan was before, Gu Lanzhi never got angry. But when he saw Qi Anlan extending his finger, Gu Lanzhi's anger suddenly flared up.

Since he is pregnant now, his emotions are not so stable.

Qi Anlan disgusted him in the way he hated the most, and Gu Lanzhi really couldn't hold back his anger.

He didn't want to embarrass a little girl in front of so many people, but he just couldn't control his temper.

The sudden yelling really scared Qi Anlan. After all, she was just a little girl who was spoiled at home. No one had ever yelled at her like that before.

But she felt that she was once the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and a talented woman praised by everyone in Kyoto City, and she always felt that she was superior to others.

Even though she was frightened by Gu Lanzhi's shouting, she did not show any sign of cowardice, but raised her neck high and glared at Gu Lanzhi.

"I am the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. How can Marquis Gu treat me like this?"

Before Gu Lanzhi could say anything, Gu Shurui beside him laughed out loud.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion? It's the former Prime Minister's Mansion, right, Miss Qi?

Your grandfather has retired and returned to his hometown, and your father is currently the Minister of Public Security, a third-rank official.

Not to mention your grandfather who has already retired, even your father would have to bow respectfully when standing in front of the Marquis.

Do you hold a position? Do you have an imperial decree? What noble status do you have to dare to be so unreasonable in front of my brother?

Now we are in this manor, in private. My brother doesn't want to bother with a little girl like you, so he didn't do anything to you. This shows the magnanimity of the Marquis.

But what about you? Do you have any respect for the Dingguo Marquis, who is the first rank of the imperial court?

Besides, from the moment His Majesty issued the imperial edict to confer the title of Queen, my brother has already been the Queen.

You... are so unreasonable to the current queen, have you ever thought about the consequences?

Hehe... you dare to point your finger at my brother, are you trying to kill yourself?"

Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Shurui approvingly, and let Gu Shurui say out loud all the words that Gu Lanzhi was reluctant to say.

This younger brother has grown a lot in these few months at the villa.

Gu Lanzhi was very satisfied.

After hearing Gu Shurui's words, the two women following behind Qi Anlan remembered Gu Lanzhi's current identity. In addition, Gu Lanzhi was already angry, so the two ladies immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gu Lanzhi.

"Please forgive me, Madam."

As the two of them kowtowed, they began to curse Qi Anlan in their hearts.

The relationship between the two of them and Qi Anlan was not that good, it was just because their families were all officials and Qi Anlan had a reputation as a talented woman, so being with Qi Anlan could raise their status in the family.

Today, Qi Anlan invited them to the villa again. It was not easy for two women to go out, so they begged their families to let them come out to play.

Who knew that Qi Anlan would rush over directly when he saw Gu Lanzhi? The two of them didn’t know what Qi Anlan wanted to do!

Now Qi Anlan has angered the future queen. If their family members knew about this, they would definitely be scolded!

If this incident affects their family's future...

Thinking of this, the two girls hated Qi Anlan even more.

It was only after Gu Shurui said those words that Qi Anlan realized Gu Lanzhi's current identity, and she was a little scared.

She was rude to Gu Lanzhi before because she was angry.

Her grandfather entered the palace to fight for the position of queen for her, but not only did he fail, he was also ordered by His Majesty to retire and return home.

Now that her grandfather is gone, her father becomes the highest-ranking official in her family.

But her father was only a third-rank official, and her family's status in Kyoto would immediately decline. She really couldn't swallow this.

When she met Gu Lanzhi today, she lost her mind and had to challenge Gu Lanzhi to make herself feel better.

She also felt that Gu Lanzhi was a man and would not do anything to a young woman like her, which led to what happened before.

But she never expected that Gu Lanzhi would get angry and ask her to kneel down.

If she kneels down, she will be embarrassed!

With so many people in this manor, it wouldn't take long for the news that she had offended Gu Lanzhi and was punished to kneel down to spread throughout Kyoto City.

Qi Anlan was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to kneel or not.

If she knelt, she would lose her dignity, but if she didn't kneel, it would be disobeying the Queen's order, which...

Qi Anlan really didn't know what to do.

"Marquis... Marquis... my little girl..."

"Kneel down." Gu Lanzhi said in a very cold voice.

He had no intention of making things difficult for the little girl. He was angry now and had to vent his anger.

When Qi Anlan heard Gu Lanzhi's cold voice, her face turned pale, but she still stubbornly refused to kneel down.

"My Lord, please forgive me for my misbehavior."

Qi Anlan just squatted and did not kneel.

Gu Lanzhi looked at Qi Anlan coldly, "Are you ready to fight to the end?"

Qi Anlan lowered his head and said nothing, but his meaning was very clear.

"Hahaha...hahaha...good, good, good, Master Qi really has a good daughter!"

After saying this, Gu Lanzhi turned around and left, and Gu Shurui followed Gu Lanzhi.

Although the imperial decree has been issued to confer the title of empress on Gu Lanzhi, she is already the empress. However, she has not yet married the emperor and the ceremony of conferring the title of empress has not been held. It is not appropriate for Gu Lanzhi to punish Qi Anlan in her capacity as empress.

But not punishing Qi Anlan now doesn't mean that Gu Lanzhi can tolerate it.

It was not easy for him to cause trouble to a little girl, but the little girl's father, Gu Lanzhi, could still find trouble with him.

Gu Lanzhi had already walked a distance away before Qi Anlan stood up straight. He first looked at Gu Lanzhi who had already walked away, and then turned around to look at his two friends who were still kneeling on the ground.

"He's already gone, why aren't you getting up?" Qi Anlan said to his two friends in annoyance.

The two little girls looked up at Gu Lanzhi who had already walked away, then they supported each other and stood up, straightening their clothes.

"An Lan, we have almost finished touring this villa, so we'll go back first." A girl said expressionlessly.

"Yeah, let's go back first." Another girl agreed.

They are all girls from big families, and they all know what each other is thinking.

It’s just that the attitude of these two people at this time made Qi Anlan very hurt.

She frowned at the two girls, "You...you have ever thought about our handkerchief friendship for so many years?"

"An Lan, we are here with you today because we think your grandfather has retired and you must be in a bad mood, so we are willing to accompany you out for a walk.

But you offended the Queen by doing this, did you ever think about us at that time?"

"Yes, we also have a family behind us. If the Queen is really angry with you and wants to implicate the two of us, what will you do to us?"

The saying "I would rather die than have my friend die" is applicable in any dynasty.
