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

This sudden heavy rain lasted for a week before gradually stopping.

On this day, Xu Cheng was arranging people to clean the yard. There was less than a month left until the Chinese New Year, and this period was also their busiest time.

"Xu Cheng."

Xu Cheng looked back and saw that Gu Jinhe was wearing a black coat, a white sweater and blue jeans underneath, and a pair of black flat boots on her feet. Her hair was simply braided into a braid that hung in front of her chest, looking neat and refreshing.

This was an outfit that Xu Cheng had never seen Gu Jinhe wear since she returned to the Gu family. In the past, she always wore an ironed plain cheongsam with a shawl or coat on the outside, and her hair was tied up with a jade hairpin. She looked cool and bright, with a gentle beauty that amazed people without causing any disrespect.

The feeling that something had changed about Gu Jinhe since he came back from the hospital last time came to his mind again.

"Miss, are you going out?" Xu Cheng put down what he was holding and walked forward to ask.

Now the whole Gu family knows that Gu Chen has placed Gu Jinhe under house arrest. If Gu Jinhe disobeys his orders at this time, he will probably be punished more severely.

Gu Jinhe held a palm-sized brocade box in her hand. She walked down the steps of the courtyard and said, "I'm not going out. I'm just going to Hengfu Courtyard. You don't have to follow me. I've told Shuhua that I won't be back for lunch."

Xu Cheng frowned slightly as he watched Gu Jinhe walk away. After pondering for a while, he lowered his head and was about to sigh, but then he remembered that the New Year was coming soon, and it would be unlucky to sigh at this time. He took a deep breath and turned around, just in time to see Shuhua walking out of the hall.

"Shuhua, when were the clothes for the young lady prepared?" Almost everything in the Rose Courtyard came through his hands. He should have known that Gu Jinhe had added items beyond the original plan.

Shuhua stood at the door holding the tea set and said, "This was sent by the eldest young master. It was requested by the eldest young lady when she was in the hospital. It was just a little late because of the rain these days."

It turned out that it was the eldest lady who asked Gu Chenkuan to prepare it, no wonder he didn't know.

Shuhua added, "The eldest lady asked me to put away all the cheongsams and sent a message to the second wife, saying that there is no need to prepare cheongsams for her in the future."

Xu Cheng frowned even deeper. The cheongsam was chosen by the eldest lady on the first day she came to the Gu family. He thought it was what the eldest lady liked, but why did she give it up now?

Shuhua didn’t know why Gu Jinhe suddenly didn’t like cheongsam anymore, but she felt that the young lady looked good no matter what she wore.

Everyone's preferences will change after a period of time. Maybe the young lady no longer likes cheongsam at this time, so Shuhua did not worry too much about it.

When Gu Jinhe arrived at Hengfuyuan, Gu Jinrong was already sitting in the tea room waiting for her.

She placed the brocade box on the table and sat down, watching Gu Jinrong sip tea in silence. After a while, a ceramic teacup with an orchid printed on a white background was handed to her.

Gu Jinrong looked up at Gu Jinhe, and after she picked up the cup to drink tea, she asked, "Yesterday you said you would come to see me today, is there something you want to tell me?"

Gu Jinhe put down the cup, then pushed the brocade box in front of Gu Jinrong and said, "Take a look at this."

Gu Jinrong raised her hand and opened the lid of the brocade box, and saw a emerald green jade bracelet lying quietly inside.

He looked at Gu Jinhe in confusion. What did this mean?

Gu Jinhe: "This is a relic left by my mother."

Gu Jinrong carefully looked at the jade bracelet in the brocade box and found that it looked familiar. He thought about it and recalled that this was the gift that Gu Jinhe asked Ye Pingting for.

At that time, this matter was discussed in the Gu family for several days. Although the quality of this jade bracelet was good, it was not top-notch.

If we talk about value, the jade pendant given by my second aunt is the most valuable. It is top-notch in both meaning and grade.

Gu Jinhe explained, "I fell in love with this jade bracelet at first sight, so I asked Aunt Wu for it. But recently I looked through my mother's old photos and found that my mother had worn the same jade bracelet as this one."

Gu Jinhe looked at the jade bracelet in the brocade box and continued, "After my mother passed away 20 years ago, this jade bracelet disappeared, and I didn't find it in the warehouse where my mother's relics were placed."

But now this jade bracelet suddenly appeared in Ye Pingting's hand, and she has been wearing it for many years.

Why did her mother's jade bracelet appear on Ye Pinting's hand?

Who gave it to her?

In other words, when did Ye Pingting take it from her mother.

Before life or after death?

Gu Jinrong frowned slightly and whispered, "What do you want to say?"

Gu Jinhe said: "I want to ask my second brother a favor."

Third Aunt’s family has been in the jade business for generations, and Gu Jinhe wants to investigate the origin of this jade bracelet.

Gu Jinhe picked up the jade bracelet and handed it to Gu Jinrong: "There is a line of words engraved on the inside. I just discovered it."

Ever since the jade bracelet came into her hands, she put it in a brocade box and kept it away.

Recently, I was thinking about my parents, so I took out this jade bracelet again. Then I found that there were small words carved inside the jade bracelet. It was very hidden and would not attract attention if you didn't look carefully.

Gu Jinrong took the jade bracelet and looked inside. After examining it carefully, he read the small words carved inside in a low voice: "From Hui to my dear friend Lu Yuan, February 1998, 2."

Gu Jinhe: "February 2nd is my mother's birthday."

Gu Jinrong put down the jade bracelet and said to Gu Jinhe, "I don't know how many jade bracelets of this quality there are on the market, but you can still find dozens or even hundreds of them."

What's more, this jade bracelet was made more than 20 years ago. Trying to find the original carving master is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if you find him, he may not remember him.

Gu Jinhe pursed her lips slightly. She knew it was difficult, but she wanted to know who gave it to her mother. She wanted to find this person and ask about what happened that year.

Without the old lady's permission, no one in the Gu family would tell her, and her brothers were still children when her parents died, so they would not remember much at all.

Gu Jinhe can only ask about the truth of the past through her parents' former friends. She has no clues about her father's friends for the time being, and she only knows Yang Xiu among her mother's friends, but she can't see her now.

Now that she had discovered the small words carved on the jade bracelet, she wanted to find that person.

Gu Jinhe: "There is a date and time on it, which can be used to infer when this jade bracelet was made. I want to find the carving master who did this back then, even if he doesn't remember it after I find him, I will still find him."

Seeing how persistent Gu Jinhe was, Gu Jinrong looked at her deeply. Perhaps it was because her body had not recovered yet, but Gu Jinhe's face was still a little pale.

As soon as Gu Jinhe arrived, he noticed that her attire was very different from before. He had not seen her wearing such casual clothes in the past few months.

The hostesses of the Gu family all followed the old lady's lead in wearing cheongsams, and even Gu Feiwan mostly chose cheongsams.

Such neat and casual dress is rarely seen in the Gu family.
