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

Wu Lu then said, "Should we tell Fu Huaiyuan? After all, Wu Shuran did this because he was attracting romantic interests everywhere and harmed so many girls." He said it as a matter of course.

Gu Jinhe looked up at him and frowned slightly: "Are you familiar with him?"

"Ah?" Wu Lu blinked, his eyes darting around, and said, "How could I know him? He is the most handsome man in the aristocratic family, and the prince of the capital. Even Wu Qi is shorter than him. I am just an illegitimate child of the Wu family. How could I know him?"

Gu Jinhe was skeptical: "Really?"

Really, more real than pearls!

Next, Gu Jinhe and Wu Lu discussed how to bring down the Wu family, and they discussed for nearly an hour.

During this time, Wu Lu observed Gu Jinhe's expression calmly, as if he wanted to see something from her face, but she remained indifferent and had no emotion at all.

This also made Wu Lu unsure whether Gu Jinhe would believe his answer.

But he didn't want to ask directly, as it would seem that he was trying to cover up his guilt.

After discussing the matter, Gu Jinhe stood up and said, "Have you eaten? If not, let's go to the dining room to eat together?"

Wu Lu still felt a little guilty at this time, so he rejected Gu Jinhe's invitation and said that he would go back and prepare well and keep an eye on Wu Shuran tomorrow.

Looking at Wu Lu's hurried steps and back, Gu Jinhe frowned slightly, always feeling that he was hiding something from her.

And what he said about Fu Huaiyuan before seemed so natural, as if he and Fu Huaiyuan had known each other for a long time, and such words almost came out of his mouth.

Just as Wu Lu explained, Fu Huaiyuan is the prince of a noble family in the capital. No one of their generation can compare to him. He is the person standing on the top of the spire.

Gu Jinhe had never met anyone who spoke so impolitely about Fu Huaiyuan. Even in the Gu family, even Gu Chenxiang mostly praised Fu Huaiyuan when he mentioned him.

However, Wu Lu could directly say that it was because of Fu Huaiyuan that so many girls were harmed.

This didn't sound like someone who was unfamiliar with Fu Huaiyuan, and there was even a hint of joking in the tone of his voice.

Gu Jinhe frowned slightly, she suddenly remembered that in her previous life, Wu Lu suddenly disappeared after he was released from prison. Even though the Wu family sent people to look for him for several years, they couldn't find him.

However, when Wu Lu appeared a few years later, he was able to seize the position of Wu Qi's heir in one fell swoop. Was there really no one else involved?

Is it true that Wu Lu can seize the Wu family and rightfully inherit the position of head of the family with his own strength?

The questions that I had not thought deeply about before now seem to be full of weirdness. Can I really take over the entire Wu family in just a few years?

If this is the case, then wouldn't all aristocratic families be unsafe? Anyone with ability and ruthlessness could potentially take over one's family?

This is obviously untenable. So far, none of the eight great families has ever been occupied by others.

At most, power will be seized by people from one's own family.

Just like Wu Lu, he seized the power of his own family. Even though he was an illegitimate child, he was still the blood of the Wu family, and others could not say anything.

However, it would be impossible to take control of the Wu family in less than five years by just being ruthless without a smart mind.

Is there really someone hiding behind Wu Lu?

Who is this guy?

Thinking of Wu Lu's expression, words and actions during the conversation just now, her brows frowned even deeper. Could this person be Fu Huaiyuan?

Whether in the previous life or this life, the more she came into contact with Wu Lu and the more she met with Fu Huaiyuan, the more times they had never talked about each other.

No one would think that these two people had any contact or even familiarity with each other.

There has never been any rumor in the outside world that the two are familiar with each other. And if the two really know each other, why didn't Fu Huaiyuan help when Wu Lu was framed by the Wu family and imprisoned?

So this is also something that doesn’t make sense.

But now Gu Jinhe really suspects that there is someone helping Wu Lu behind the scenes.

Otherwise, she really didn't believe that he could seize the position of the head of the Wu family by himself.

If the position of the head of the family is really so easy to seize, then the position of the heir is not so easy to sit on. It is like a seat at a buffet. Who would be willing to sit there?

When Gu Jinhe came to the dining room to eat, Shuhua had already returned. She said, "Miss, you don't know how ugly their faces were when I delivered the two cages to Master Wu and Master Jinyu. It was as if they were painted green. It was really funny!"

Xu Cheng came in with a bowl of soup. When he heard Shuhua's words, he glanced at her with a slight warning in his eyes.

When the calligraphy and painting caught his eye, he immediately stopped talking.

Xu Cheng put down the soup bowl and said to Shuhua, "No matter what their expressions are, they are the masters of the fifth room. If this gets to their ears, the punishment you receive will be light."

Shuhua pouted, looking aggrieved. She knew, of course, that as a servant she could not comment on her master's affairs.

Even though Gu Chenxiang and Gu Jinyu are not their own masters, they are also the masters of the fifth branch of the Gu family and the son and grandson of the old lady.

Not to mention what expressions the fifth room would have when word of this got out, if the old lady got to know this, she would probably have to immerse herself in scriptures every day for the rest of her life.

The last time she was punished by the eldest lady to copy scriptures, it almost cost her her life. If someone else punishes her, it will definitely be more severe than the eldest lady.

Shuhua whispered, "I know, I won't say it again."

Gu Jinhe glanced at the two of them, and seeing that Shuhua looked aggrieved, he did not speak for her.

Even in this Rose Courtyard, it is not really safe enough to talk freely.

Because almost all the people in this courtyard were given to her by the old lady, whether it was the twenty people the old butler brought when they first came here, or Shuhua, Shumo, and Xu Cheng.

It can be said that none of the people here were trained by Gu Jinhe himself.

And those twenty people, each of them performed their duties, guarded the Rose Courtyard very well, and never overstepped the line.

Xu Cheng was raised and trained by the old butler himself. Whether it is his abilities, methods or character, the most important thing is that his connections in the capital are different from those of ordinary people.

Shuhua and Shumo both grew up in the Gu family. One is simple, lively and cute, while the other is steady and mature. They can be said to be two people who complement each other.

One can keep Gu Jinhe company and relieve her boredom, while the other can take care of her daily life.

It can be said that everything is taken into consideration, and the old lady has thought of almost everything.

The Rose Courtyard was also built into an independent courtyard, as if it was Gu Jinhe's own little world, her own home.
