Gu Jinhe took the box and opened it, and saw a phoenix hairpin inlaid with colored diamonds lying quietly inside.

She picked up the hairpin and looked at Liu Shuya and said, "Please help me put it on now. I believe in your judgment."

Liu Shuya took the hairpin and said with a smile, "Okay!" She looked at Gu Jinhe's hair and pinned the hairpin on the left.

She stepped back two steps and looked at it carefully, then nodded, and then looked at the calligraphy and painting and asked, "How is it? Is it beautiful?"

Shuhua nodded affirmatively: "My eldest daughter looks so beautiful even without wearing it, and wearing this phoenix hairpin is the icing on the cake!"

Liu Shuya said to Gu Jinhe with some amusement: "Your girl is really good at talking."

Gu Jinhe: "She is only better than others in this respect. Let's go in first."

After entering the yard, Gu Jinhe asked Liu Shuya to wait for her in the hall. Then she took out the New Year gift she had prepared long ago from the room and handed it to Liu Shuya.

"Shuya, Happy New Year!"

This is an exquisitely carved jade pendant with a small character carved on the inside.

"Ya?" Liu Shuya read out the word after careful identification.

Yes, it is elegant.

Liu is the surname of the Liu family, Shu is the generation ranking, and only the word Ya belongs to her alone.

Liu Shuya suddenly felt an unspeakable bitterness in her heart. At this moment, she clearly understood that Gu Jinhe was the one who understood her.

Gu Jinhe put the peace locket around Liu Shuya's neck. The jade pendant, as soft as jade, felt a little cool when it first touched the skin, but it soon merged with her body temperature.

Liu Shuya touched the auspicious cloud pattern carved on the jade pendant, with tears in her eyes. This was Gu Jinhe's silent blessing to her.

From the time she woke up from the hospitalization after committing suicide and came to Gu's house to recuperate, during this period of time, Gu Jinhe never asked her why she committed suicide.

Liu Shuya understood that this was Gu Jinhe's respect for her. If she didn't say it, she wouldn't ask. She just wanted her to be able to rest in peace so as not to affect her mood.

Liu Shuya held the jade pendant tightly and said seriously: "I will never take this jade pendant off."

······

Shuhua took all the New Year gifts sent by several branches of the Gu family, and she pointed out who sent them one by one.

"The second room sent over the transfer contracts for five shops, all in the best locations in the capital."

"The third room sent a box of night-shining pearls."

"The fourth room was given a farm with 100 cows, sheep and horses each."

"This small cage made of gold was sent by the Fifth House."

Liu Shuya pointed at the palm-sized golden cage and said, "Why did you send the cage over during the New Year?"

And there is a goldfinch in this golden cage.

This doesn't have a good implication, does it?

Gu Jinhe only took a glance at it, and then said to Shuhua, "Wrap it up with a piece of red cloth and send it to the warehouse."

Shuhua's expression looked a little unhappy. Anyone would be unhappy to receive such a gift during the New Year. She was not the one receiving the gift, but she was so unhappy. I wonder what the young lady was thinking.

Gu Jinhe was not unhappy, but out of sight, out of mind, so he sent her away so that she wouldn't see him.

The next gifts were sent by Gu Jinkuan and others.

"This first one was sent by Master Jin Kuan. It's the key to a house."

"This was sent by Master Jinrong. It's a box of books."

"These two abacus beads carved from jade were sent by Master Jin Hong."

"This jade hairpin was sent by Master Jinyu."

Since she was discharged from the hospital last time, Gu Jinhe's dress has been very different from usual, and the gifts sent by people from other rooms are also in a disguised way to cater to her dress.

There were only five people in the room, one sent a cage and the other sent a jade hairpin.

Although the cage was small and exquisite, it was not suitable for giving as a gift. As for the jade hairpin, Gu Jinhe now had it braided and hanging in front of her chest, so the hairpin was of no use at all.

This only means that they did not put much effort into preparing gifts for Gu Jinhe, or even if they did put much effort into it.

It’s just that everything I thought about in my heart was reflected in the gift.

Liu Shuya looked at these gifts. In fact, from these gifts, one can see the attitude of the several branches of the Gu family towards Gu Jinhe.

Needless to say, from the second room to the fourth room, these gifts were all thoughtfully prepared.

There was only one gift from the fifth room. Although there was nothing wrong with it, it just felt like something was missing.

There were rumors that Gu Jinhe and the second branch of the Gu family were not on good terms, but judging from the gifts sent by the second branch, there was nothing wrong with them, and one could even clearly see their intentions towards Gu Jinhe.

On the contrary, there are very few rumors about the fifth branch of the Gu family in the outside world, most of which are about Gu Jinyu and Gu Feiwan.

When people usually mention the wife of the fifth room, they would think of her as being weak and thin, speaking softly, and like someone who would never make enemies with others.

She had three sisters-in-law ahead of her, among whom the second wife was the ruling lady of the Gu family. Generally, there were several sisters-in-law watching over all matters, big and small. When it was her turn, she only needed to follow and she would not make any mistakes.

Liu Shuya knew in her heart that the one that had a conflict between the Gu family and Gu Jinhe was the fifth branch, not the second branch as rumored by the outside world.

Gu Jinhe said to Shuhua, "Send the gifts I prepared earlier to each room."

We had told them in the front yard to come and choose by themselves, but it seems they don’t have time. They have to accompany the guests after dinner and can’t leave at all.

After Liu Shuya watched the calligraphy and painting leave, she asked Gu Jinhe curiously, "What gift did you give to the fifth room?"

"Oh, a set of skin care products." Gu Jinhe said casually while pouring tea.

Liu Shuya was surprised. It was just a set of skin care products?

Gu Jinhe handed the teacup to Liu Shuya, and after seeing her expression, he explained, "On my first day back at the Gu family, Aunt Wu originally prepared a set of skin care products for me, but I liked the jade bracelet on her wrist more, so I asked her for it."

Asking for a jade bracelet?

Liu Shuya frowned. Gu Jinhe didn't seem like the kind of person who would ask for a jade bracelet without caring about his dignity.

Gu Jinhe lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then said calmly, "That jade bracelet is a relic of my mother."

Liu Shuya was surprised and frowned, "If it is your mother's relic, why did it appear in the hands of the fifth wife?"

Gu Jinhe lowered his eyes: "This is also the question that I am still wondering about. Why did it happen to her?"

Liu Shuya's expression changed. Thinking of a terrible possibility, she hesitated to speak: "Jinhe, your parents back then... do you think it's possible that she was the first person to arrive?"

If Ye Pingting was the first person to arrive at the scene after the car accident of Gu Chenjun and his wife, she would have the opportunity to take the jade bracelet from Lu Yuan.
