Chapter 176 God Really Can Strike Back at People
The Third Madam glared at Gu Shurui angrily, "What are you talking about? I'm your mother, how can I harm you?"
"Didn't you harm him? If Shu Rui listened to you and really had something with Li Chengyun, our entire mansion would be exiled with you." The first lady glared at the third lady.
The former fifth prince is still in the Heavenly Prison. He has been stripped of his royal identity and surname and demoted to a commoner.
If he could get out of the prison alive, exile would be his end. His wives, concubines and children would never be allowed to return to Kyoto, take the imperial examinations or become officials.
Not to mention the Fifth Prince in this lifetime, his descendants and relatives will never be able to become officials or return to Kyoto.
After the first lady said this, the third lady looked as if her tail had been stepped on and her face turned very ugly.
She had misjudged the previous incident, but she quickly adjusted her mood and said to the eldest lady, "Sister-in-law, who would have thought that the previous emperor had seized the throne!
I am Shu Rui's mother, and my original intention was good."
"Haha... your original intention was to instigate Gu Shurui to seduce his brother's fiancé while his brother was not at home? Your original intention was really good!" Gu Jingcheng said bluntly.
Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Jingcheng with amusement. This kid is quite sinister. He just picks on people wherever it hurts!
These words also made Gu Shurui feel very embarrassed, and he lowered his head in shame.
The first lady verbally attacked the third lady, but the third lady could still tolerate it. But when that little brat Gu Jingcheng also came to bully her, the third lady couldn't stand it anymore.
She pointed at Gu Shurui and shouted sharply, "You little... adults are talking, what does it have to do with you?
That's how the eldest lady taught you. How dare you ridicule your elders in person? Ah..."
The third lady screamed and immediately hugged the hand that was pointing at Gu Jingcheng, tears of pain filling her eyes.
Gu Lanzhi hated it most when people pointed their fingers at him, even if it was someone he cared about.
Gu Jingcheng is his younger brother, and he will not allow anyone to say anything bad about him, not to mention that the Third Madam also mentioned the First Madam in her words!
Gu Lanzhi was not polite at all and threw the teacup lid directly, hitting the third lady's hand.
Gu Lanzhi used a lot of strength, and the third lady's fingers must have been broken.
"Madam, I'm keeping you in the mansion for the sake of my uncle and I'm not holding you accountable for what happened before.
If you can behave yourself and stay in your yard honestly, I won't do anything to you.
But if you push me too far, don’t blame me for turning my back on you.”
Gu Lanzhi's voice was extremely cold, and he looked at the Third Madam with extremely cold eyes.
The third lady's personal maid wanted to go forward to check on her condition, but was scared away by the first lady's look.
Gu Shurui looked at his mother worriedly, but in the end he didn't say anything or move.
What the eldest lady said to Gu Jingcheng was not wrong; it was he and his mother who were wrong.
Even though Gu Shurui felt sorry for his mother, he still hardened his heart and did not go forward to check.
"You...you...you...how could you treat me like this? Sanlang is gone, and you guys are bullying us, an orphan and a widow.
Oh, God, why don't you send down a thunderbolt to kill them!"
As soon as the third lady finished her words, there was a loud "boom" and a very thin bolt of lightning struck her.
Gu Lanzhi calmly put away his fingers that were still glowing with a faint purple light.
Not to mention the Third Madam who was struck by lightning, even the other people in the room were all dumbfounded, staring blankly at the Third Madam who was struck by lightning and was smoking.
If everyone was outside the house and lightning struck the Third Lady from the sky, they would be able to understand it better, but now they are inside the house!
This thunder...how did it strike the house?
Everyone has this question in their mind.
Gu Lanzhi didn't care whether it was reasonable for the lightning to strike the house. Didn't the Third Madam ask for a lightning to fall? Then he, Gu Lanzhi, would just give the Third Madam a lightning.
The effect has been achieved, who cares whether it is reasonable or not!
The Third Madam first had her fingers broken by Gu Lanzhi, and now her hair was smoking from being struck by lightning. She was stunned and had no reaction at all.
This was because Gu Lanzhi showed mercy and only used a little bit of his lightning ability.
Otherwise, the Third Madam would have been struck to death on the spot by Gu Lanzhi's thunder.
For a moment, the dining hall was silent and everyone stared at the Third Madam in a daze.
Gu Lanzhi looked around the room, and seeing that he had achieved the desired effect, he smiled faintly, "Madam San, the thunder you wanted has really come, but the heavens really have eyes and know who to strike!"
The third lady stared blankly at Gu Lanzhi's half-smile. She really wanted to say that it was Gu Lanzhi who was causing trouble.
But reason told her how could Gu Lanzhi have the ability to control the thunder!
But she just felt that this thunder was related to Gu Lanzhi.
Sometimes people's sixth sense is really accurate.
The eldest lady looked at Gu Lanzhi with a trembling body, "Lanzhi, this... this..."
Gu Lanzhi picked up the teacup calmly, "People, it's better to be kind. Try not to do things against your will and don't say things against your will. Otherwise, God will really kill you."
The ancients were superstitious to begin with, and now they had witnessed something so illogical with their own eyes. Everyone present shook unconsciously and believed in Gu Lanzhi's words without a doubt.
Gu Shurui had been frightened by this sudden change, but now that Gu Lanzhi had spoken, Gu Shurui had calmed down. He hurried forward to check on the third lady's condition.
After all, she is his biological mother. His mother doing something wrong is one thing, but his heartache for his mother being struck by lightning is another.
"Mom, how...how do you feel?" Gu Shurui's nervousness was genuine. He was really afraid that his mother would be struck by lightning.
The Third Madam still hasn't reacted. She just said it casually, so how could it really attract such a thunder?
But why did the lightning strike her? She wanted the lightning to strike Gu Lanzhi and the others? Did God aim at the wrong place?
Gu Shurui saw his mother's eyes widened and she couldn't say a word, so he looked at Gu Lanzhi nervously, "Brother!"
Gu Lanzhi waved his hand and said, "Take your mother back to her courtyard and ask the court doctor to take a look."
Gu Lanzhi really didn't want to see this old woman anymore. She was such a troublemaker and he felt annoyed just by seeing her.
