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

"Fei Wan is your sister, how can you let her clean the theater for you?!"

Ye Pingting looked at Gu Jinhe with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

Gu Jinhe straightened his clothes and sat down again. He placed one hand on the table and tapped the tabletop lightly with his index finger. He said, "I said to let Sister Feiwan return to the Gu family, but I didn't say anything about her punishment. Is this the end of it?"

Do you think that just by agreeing to Gu Feiwan's return home, her punishment is over?

Considering the Gu family and the old lady's feelings, Gu Jinhe did not take action against the fifth room immediately after returning to the Gu family.

But now Gu Jinhe discovered that she had been deceived by lies. In her previous life, until her death, she did not know that she was not a descendant of the Gu family.

Uncle Wu must know her background, but what about Ye Pingting?

Does she know?

Gu Jinhe felt that Ye Pingting must have some doubts in her heart, otherwise she would not have always minded that she had taken over Gu Feiwan's identity as the eldest daughter of the Gu family.

Even when I was thinking about getting rid of her, I didn't feel any burden in my heart.

"But we can't let Feiwan do the work of servants. She has been brought up in a pampered environment. How could she have done such rough work?" Ye Pingting could not accept such an arrangement.

Her daughter is the young lady of the Gu family, a proud child of heaven, and a famous lady from a noble family in the capital. How could she do such a thing?

Why not?

Gu Jinhe has been able to do these things since he was young. When he was in the orphanage, the director did them with the other children, and he also did them himself at his adoptive parents' home.

And he just asked Gu Feiwan to clean the theater, not beat her, so this doesn't count as corporal punishment, right?

Ye Pingting looked at Gu Jinhe's hands placed on the table. His fingers were white and slender, his nails were pink and translucent, but there were some thin calluses on the fingertips.

Her tone was a little heavy: "Fei Wan grew up in the Gu family. There are many people around her who pamper and love her. She is the daughter of the Gu family, not a servant you can just do whatever you want!"

Gu Jinhe raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't treat her as a servant. If Aunt Wu doesn't want to, why not wait until Sister Feiwan finishes copying the scriptures and get the old lady's consent before letting her return to the Gu family."

Ye Pingting choked when she heard this. The purpose of her coming to see Gu Jinhe was to allow Fei Wan to be exempted from the punishment of kneeling and copying scriptures, so that she could return to the Gu family as soon as possible.

But it was absolutely impossible to let Fei Wan clean the theater. Even if she agreed, when Fei Wan came back and knew the result, he would probably burn down the theater.

This will only make the old lady even more unhappy.

Butler Gu and Xu Cheng stood by and watched in silence, seeing that Ye Pingting was in a dilemma. She had to either compromise and agree to Gu Jinhe's request, or let Gu Feiwan continue to stay in the temple.

Ye Pingting frowned in thought, looked at Gu Jinhe and said, "Is there no other choice?"

Gu Jinhe rested his elbows on the table and stroked his cheek, lowering his eyes, as if thinking about her words.

Ye Pingting looked at her closely, hoping to hear a solution that she could accept.

After a while, Gu Jinhe looked up at Ye Pingting and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Have."

"Answer the question I asked you at the beginning, and then I can consider letting Sister Feiwan return to the Gu family without being punished."

Ye Pingting's face changed. She couldn't explain why the bracelet appeared in her hand.

Glancing at Ye Pingting's expression, Gu Jinhe stood up and walked down the stairs. When he passed by her, he gently reminded her, "You only have half a day to consider. If I don't receive your reply before dinner, this exchange will be invalid. If you want to see Sister Feiwan again, you may have to wait until after the New Year."

Ye Pingting watched Gu Jinhe's back gradually walking away. After Butler Gu and Xu Cheng left, her face became colder and colder.

There was a strong murderous intent in the look he gave Gu Jinhe!

On the way back to the Rose Courtyard, Xu Cheng asked in confusion: "Why does the eldest lady want the second lady to clean the theater?"

The two-story theater is not big, but it is not small either. If one person cleans it, it may take more than a day to finish.

Moreover, Gu Feiwan had never done anything like this before, so he probably wouldn't be able to clean it up properly.

She was lucky not to cause any damage.

Gu Jinhe put her hands in her coat pockets and walked lightly on the cobblestone path. A gust of wind lifted the hem of her clothes, drawing a sharp arc.

I only heard her say casually: "I'm just saying it. Let her clean the theater. I might as well get a dog to guard the door. At least it will wag its tail when it sees me."

Gu Feiwan, on the other hand, wished he could tear her to pieces alive.

Keeping her around will only make you annoyed.

Xu Cheng was stunned. What if the Fifth Madam agreed to let the Second Miss clean the theater?

Gu Jinhe curved his lips and smiled. Ye Pingting would not agree. Even if she agreed, Gu Feiwan would not be willing, so this exchange was invalid.

Xu Cheng lowered his eyes slightly, so the condition that the eldest lady really wanted to exchange was the fifth lady's answer to the questions she raised.

Cleaning the theater was just a bait thrown by Gu Jinhe. He knew that Ye Pingting would not agree, but he said it just to see how she would change her attitude.

When I returned to the Rose Courtyard, I saw Tang Jiashuai sitting in the car. When he saw Gu Jinhe coming back, he immediately got out and ran over, with a bright smile on his face, saying, "Sister, you're back!"

Gu Jinhe squatted down and touched his head, then asked, "Why didn't you take a rest?"

Tang Jiashuai hugged Gu Jinhe's arm and said, "I want to wait for my sister to come back."

After all, this was his first time coming to Gu’s house. He was not familiar with the people there, and he was a little scared when he couldn’t see Gu Jinhe.

Gu Jinhe looked at him apologetically: "I didn't think it through. What do you want to play? Will your sister accompany you?"

Tang Jiashuai immediately said happily: "I want my sister to help me with the puzzle!"

it is good.

Gu Jinhe took Tang Jiashuai to do a puzzle. Just as they selected the pieces and were putting them together on the table, Wu Lu came over.

"I heard that you want Gu Feiwan to clean the theater?"

Gu Jinhe looked up at him. She didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. She asked, "Who did you hear that from?"

Wu Lu said jokingly, "Before you came back, this news spread like wildfire. Even I, who don't pay attention to news, knew about it. I'm afraid the rest of the Gu family has heard about it too."

"Aren't you afraid that your fifth uncle will come to cause trouble for you?"

It was only Gu Jinhe who came up with the idea of ​​asking his daughter to clean the theater.

Gu Jinhe curled his lips slightly. Gu Chenliang was thorough and cautious in his work and would never be criticized for trivial matters.

Given his personality, he probably wouldn't come to her specifically for such a thing. Besides, Gu Chenliang is not Ye Pingting, and he looks at things from a different perspective.

Gu Chenliang must have guessed that what she said was just a joke.
