Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time

This time when he was discharged from the hospital, Gu Jinhe refused the Gu family's offer to pick him up.

He returned to the Rose Courtyard with Xu Cheng and Shuhua alone. When he arrived at the gate, he saw a brazier at the door.

Gu Jinhe tilted his head to look at Xu Cheng. What did this mean?

Xu Cheng said seriously, "It's safe, please step over, Miss."

In these short three months, Gu Jinhe was repeatedly injured and hospitalized. Xu Cheng did not show it on his face, but he was somewhat concerned in his heart.

Gu Jinhe was a little surprised. She looked down at the brazier and felt a faint heat rising up. Somehow, she suddenly found it difficult to breathe, as if there was a stone pressing on her chest, as if there were too many pent-up emotions that could not be released.

Gu Jinhe's eyes were slightly moist. She lifted her foot and stepped over the brazier. After walking into the yard, she found that red lanterns were hung under the corridor, adding a touch of festive atmosphere to the quiet yard.

After returning to her room, Gu Jinhe washed and dressed again. This time she did not tie her hair up, but simply braided it into a braid and let it hang down in front of her chest. She wrapped a red rope around the end of her hair and tied it into a bow.

At this moment, the sky outside suddenly became gloomy, and the dark clouds overhead gathered into a large mass. As a damp and cold wind blew, a drizzle began to fall from the sky.

When Gu Jinhe walked out of the yard alone holding an umbrella, it was already raining heavily outside.

Xu Cheng stood at the door, watching Gu Jinhe's thin figure gradually disappear at the corner of the courtyard gate.

In just over three months, no one noticed that Gu Jinhe had lost a lot of weight. His face used to have some rosy baby fat, but now his face was pale and thin...

He didn't know what happened to Gu Jinhe during this trip. After he came back, he found that Gu Jinhe had changed a little.

The coldness between his brows was even more evident, and his temperament was even more silent than before, as if he was suppressing something in his heart.

My ears were filled with the sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella and the ground.

There was rain and fog, and there was a huge mist above my head. The rain curtain seemed to have woven a huge net, covering the whole world with a layer of gauze, and even the vision was obstructed.

More than ten minutes later, Gu Jinhe came to the outside of a solemn and majestic courtyard wall, gently pushed open the gate, walked along a not-so-long bluestone road, pushed open the door of the main house, and immediately a smell of incense hit him in the face.

Gu Jinhe put down his umbrella, straightened his clothes slightly, stepped over the threshold and walked in. He picked up three incense sticks from the incense table and placed them on the candle. After the incense was lit, he inserted them into the incense burner.

Gu Jinhe retreated to the kneeling mat in front of the incense table and knelt down, looking up at the tablets stacked in front of her. The closest one on the right was the tablet of her parents.

As the candlelight flickered, the shadow of the fire was reflected on the tablet, making the words on it more eye-catching.

The first time Gu Jinhe came here in his previous life was when the old lady passed away, and there was one more tablet here.

Gu Jinhe looked at the tablet above silently, smelling the scent of incense in the air, and felt unexpectedly peaceful and calm in his heart.

Gu Jinhe, looking at your father's tablet, what were you thinking at that time?

After knowing that he was not a child of the Gu family, how did he view the Gu family?

How do you deal with those external voices?

How did he face the old lady?

Have you ever experienced the reshaping of your worldview, feeling the pain and depression of having your bones broken but your tendons still connected?

When you gave up your position as heir, had you already thought about how to deal with all this?

In the past, Gu Jinhe didn’t understand why the old housekeeper’s son didn’t stay with Gu Chenjun.

This symbolizes the characteristics of heir status, but he abandoned it.

Even his own marriage was ranked after that of his younger brothers. He only chose to get married after they all had a son.

I have become the nominal eldest son of the Gu family and have taken the title of second uncle. If this cannot be changed, can it be changed in the next generation?

In fact, it turned out to be as he wished. His second uncle's child became the eldest grandson of the Gu family, and the children of several other families were also born according to the original trajectory.

Twenty years ago, did you really bring your wife and daughter back to your old house just to worship your ancestors?

Do you want to stay away from the circle of fame and fortune in the capital, and away from all the gossip here?

Gu Jinhe didn't know what he was thinking at the time or how he made the decision.

The sound of raindrops outside the door continued, hitting the tiles on the roof, making a tapping sound, but the house was comfortable and quiet.

······

"Where did she go?"

"Ancestral Hall."

The old lady closed her eyes and was silent for a while before saying, "I thought she would come to see me when she came back."

However, she didn't expect that Gu Jinhe did not come to find her, but went to the Gu family ancestral hall.

The old housekeeper said: "The eldest lady's temperament has become more stable."

He did not come over to ask as soon as he came back, but went to the ancestral hall alone after washing up.

The old lady sighed so softly that it was inaudible. She had originally thought that she could keep this secret for the rest of her life.

She originally wanted Gu Jinhe to be safe, healthy and live a peaceful life.

However, things went against one's wishes. From the day Gu Jinhe was taken back to the Gu family, the dangers hidden deep underground began to emerge from the ground and approached Gu Jinhe.

"What did Yang Wen say?" asked the old lady.

Old housekeeper: "Mr. Yang denied that he arranged the kidnapping. He stressed that if there is no evidence, it does not represent the truth of the matter."

The old lady's expression turned cold, and she asked in a deep voice: "Yang Xiu still doesn't want to go out?"

The old housekeeper said: "Mr. Yang objects to Miss Yang Xiu going out."

The old lady asked, "Why does he object?"

The old butler lowered his eyes and did not answer.

The old lady's eyes grew cold, but Yang Wen was sincere to his sister.

Twenty years ago, because of Yang Xiu's involvement, those people's plans failed. Yang Wen was worried that those people would retaliate against Yang Xiu, so he used the fact that Yang Xiu was injured to forbid her to go out.

So for a full twenty years, Yang Xiu never left the Yang family. No one had seen her, and no one even knew whether she was dead or alive.

If I knew today, why was it in the first place!

The old lady said, "Wait until she comes out and ask her to come."

Some things need to be said.

She was afraid that if she continued to hide this, Gu Jinhe would be completely disappointed with her and the Gu family.

When Gu Jinhe walked out of the ancestral hall gate, he saw the old housekeeper waiting at the door with a black umbrella.

He didn't know how long he waited. The rain splashed on his shoes, but he didn't seem to notice. When he saw her come out, he smiled kindly and said, "Miss, if you have nothing to do next, why don't you go to Qinglan Courtyard? The old lady was very worried about you during the two days you were in the hospital."

Gu Jinhe had not planned to see the old lady today, but when she saw the old housekeeper coming, she knew that the old lady wanted to see her.

Gu Jinhe followed the old butler in silence. She turned her head to look at the old butler who was already in his twilight years.

His hair was gray, his face was covered with wrinkles, and he was very thin, but his eyes did not have the cloudiness of old age; they were still sharp and cold.
