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

When Shumo came to the kitchen, he saw Shuhua asking the kitchen to prepare more meat, cut it into thin slices, and put it into the pot so that it would cook quickly and be more flavorful.

Shumo pulled Shuhua aside and looked at her with a frown: "During the time I was away, was this how you stayed by the young lady's side?"

"What's wrong with me?" Shuhua asked curiously.

Shu Mo frowned even deeper: "Don't you realize there's something wrong with your attitude?"

Shuhua wondered, "What's wrong with my attitude?"

Shu Mo said in a deep voice: "The eldest lady is our master. We must remember what she said and never forget it. Especially when the eldest lady is speaking, we must listen carefully."

Shuhua knew that it was because she was not paying attention when the eldest lady was speaking just now that Shumo said these words.

She said, "I'm not like this usually. I always listen to what the young lady says very seriously, really."

"Then tell me what you were thinking about when you were in a daze just now?" Shu Mo asked.

Shuhua paused when he heard this, his eyes darting around but he didn't say anything.

Shu Mo sighed deeply. She raised her hand and gently touched Shu Hua's hair. She said slowly, "We grew up together. I am two years older than you, so I have always treated you as my own sister. You know this too."

"So I hope you can be fine. Even if the young lady is a little lenient with you, you must remember your identity and not do anything that goes beyond the rules. Do you understand?"

Shuhua lowered his head and said, "I will never betray the young lady, ever."

Shu Mo frowned. How was this related to betrayal?

Shu Mo glanced around and saw that no one was looking at them, so he whispered, "I know you are hiding something from me. I still can't forget the look on your face when you first came to see me after the Dahu Mountain incident."

Shuhua pursed his lips and asked, "What's my expression?"

Shu Mo: "You looked like the sky had fallen. I thought the world was coming to an end. You scared me. Fortunately, you didn't look like that when you came to see me again. Otherwise, I would have considered asking someone to dig a hole underground."

Shuhua laughed and said awkwardly: "I just experienced a kidnapping, and then the young lady suddenly fell into a coma, and you were also injured. I was at a loss, right?"

"Really?"

"Of course it is like that. When have I ever lied to you, Sister Shumo?" Shuhua looked away and smiled.

Shu Mo looked at her deeply and thought, Shuhua, you probably don’t know that since you were a child, you would smile with pursed lips when you lied, and you didn’t dare to look up at her.

So, you lied this time.

Something must have happened last time at Dahu Mountain that she didn't know about.

When Shu Mo came back, he found that the old lady had given the theater, which had been sealed, to the eldest daughter.

The second young lady of the fifth house, Gu Feiwan, had disappeared, and the former fifth wife, Ye Pingting, was also driven out of the Gu family by the old lady.

Today, it can be said that the eldest lady has completely offended the fifth room.

Shu Mo only found out about this after she came back. Another thing is that it seems that the eldest lady and the old lady are not as close as before, which is also what she is most worried about.

Shu Mo grew up in the Gu family, and she knew clearly how much control the old lady had over the Gu family.

The fifth master, Gu Chenliang, is a meticulous man, and to outsiders he seems gentle and elegant.

But when Shumo was a child, he accidentally saw how Gu Chenliang treated the servants.

In the snowy winter, the man was stripped of his clothes and pressed into the cold snow. Someone then poured an ice bucket full of ice cubes on him.

Gu Chenliang's expression was icy cold, as if it was even colder than the snow on the ground, the ice cubes on the ground, and the screams of the people on the ground.

It was also from that time that Shu Mo knew that Gu Chenliang was not as gentle as he appeared.

However, the most gentle person in the Gu family is the fourth master Gu Chenxin.

The third young master, Gu Jinhong, has the same good temper as him. He never makes things difficult for them and gives them New Year's money and gifts during festivals.

The eldest young master would make custom clothes for them, and now there is an older young lady who also seems to like making custom clothes for them.

The second young master, Gu Jinrong, seldom goes out on weekdays and spends most of his time reading and writing in the yard.

One thing he had in mind when giving gifts was that he really liked to give people books.

Even when she and Shuhua had their coming-of-age ceremony, Gu Jinrong sent them books.

No one knew how he knew the birthdays of the two sisters. Apart from their familiar friends in the Gu family, only Gu Jinrong sent them birthday gifts that day.

So although Gu Jinrong seemed like a person who didn't care about anything and seemed like an invisible person in the Gu family, he could still remember her and Shuhua's birthdays.

This is something that the other young masters of the Gu family would not do.

As for the fourth young master Gu Jinyu, he had a bad temper and would either beat or scold the servants. I don't know how many servants were beaten and scolded by him when they were young.

This matter has never been exposed, and only people who are familiar with them in the servant circle know about it.

Later, Gu Jinyu grew up and probably knew how to restrain himself, so he no longer treated the servants as he did before, but he still never gave them a good look.

Shumo was particularly grateful that he and Shuhua had been arranged by the old lady to live with the eldest daughter since childhood.

Although the eldest lady had not returned at that time, they were all members of the eldest lady's courtyard. She would never give them a hard time and would take good care of them.

Perhaps this is why calligraphy and painting have developed such a simple character.

But now when looking at the calligraphy and painting again, Shu Mo discovered that something has changed.

Shumo raised his eyes and looked at Shuhua, his gaze fixed on her.

Shuhua felt uncomfortable being looked at by her, so he avoided her gaze and said, "Sister Shumo has watched me grow up since I was a child. Don't you believe what I say?"

Shu Mo retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Of course I believe it. I believe what Shu Hua said."

Shuhua breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said, "It's getting late, I have to prepare the ingredients for the hot pot tonight, and I need to prepare more, because I'm feeling hungry now."

Shu Mo: "I came here for this matter. I'm afraid you didn't prepare enough. Some dishes can't be eaten together."

"Ah?" Shuhua asked, "Which dishes can't be eaten together?"

The two walked towards the vegetable area while talking. Shu Mo said softly, "For example, tofu and shrimp, eating them together may cause discomfort, such as headaches, vomiting, and nausea. Chicken and celery cannot be eaten together. Tonight's soup base is made with ginseng soup, so radish cannot be put in it, as it will easily cause indigestion..."
