Given Gu Jinrong's personality, he would not let Gu Jinhong get any useful information from him.

But unexpectedly, Gu Jinyu came over just as Gu Jinhong left.

When he was young, Gu Jinyu seldom played with his other brothers.

Because they all followed the old lady and were taught by her personally, or followed their fathers and learned by example.

Only Gu Jinyu was accompanied by his sister. The brother and sister were not loved by the old lady, and they did not have the honor of receiving her teachings.

However, Gu Chenliang did not treat them unfairly and gave them all the instruction that children of aristocratic families should have.

Later, when he grew up, Gu Jinyu liked to go out more and more, because people outside would flatter him, please him, and say things he wanted to hear because of his identity.

Following their example, Gu Feiwan also made a lot of friends and often went out to play with them.

Despite this, the children of the Gu family still grew up in the same house. The children of the fifth room lacked the love and guidance of the old lady, but they were given everything else.

But for some reason, the more the children grew up, the more they could see the differences between the two children and the others.

Gu Jinyu and Gu Feiwan do not have the caution and good manners that members of the Gu family should have.

Obviously, the Gu family had invited famous masters to teach them personally since they were young. They were taught the six arts of a gentleman, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as etiquette. However, they still developed their current rebellious and willful character.

Other noble families all say that a dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of them is different from the others. This is probably due to fate.

Some people also say that human nature is good at birth, and all temperaments are influenced subtly in later life.

When the old lady asked Gu Chenliang and Ye Pingting to divorce, the matter was not made public and ended quietly.

It was not until later when Ye Pingting did not come out to attend the banquet that people noticed that she had disappeared from this circle for a long time.

At first it was because of the old lady’s house arrest, and then he completely left the Gu family.

The fact that Ye Pingting divorced and left the Gu family was eventually known to people outside, and it caused a sensation at the time.

There were also cases of divorces among the children of aristocratic families, but they were all when they were young. Now that Gu Jinyu and Gu Feiwan are both grown up, news of their divorce suddenly came out.

It was somewhat unexpected, but there were people who were curious and wanted to know the news.

However, for the sake of Gu Jinyu and Gu Feiwan's reputation, the Gu family did not publicize the truth.

It just issued a brief statement, saying that Mr. Gu Chenliang and Ms. Ye Pingting from the fifth branch of the Gu family had broken up peacefully, and their child would go to the Gu family.

Otherwise, would he tell others that Ye Pingting wanted to kill Gu Jinhe?

This is not a good reputation for the Gu family, especially for Gu Jinyu and Gu Feiwan. Their mother is a criminal who attempted murder, and they will not be able to hold their heads up in the circle in the future.

This will also affect Gu Jinhe's reputation. Let's not talk about why Ye Pingting wanted to kill her. Just say that because of this incident, the old lady drove Ye Pingting out of the Gu family, and this matter will be criticized in the future.

If some things don't happen to you, you won't feel any pain when talking about them and can say anything unpleasant.

Now, because Ye Pingting was the one who made the mistake, no one will say anything. But as time goes on, there will always be people who think radically that since Gu Jinhe is fine, why should they kick their elder out of the house.

She thought that Gu Jinhe was intolerant. She had just returned to the Gu family not long ago, but because of her, even the wife of the fifth room was driven away.

Some people would say that she has a bad heart, is too vindictive, and is not easy to get along with.

There are many different opinions about reputation. Three people can make a big show. When there are more people, there will be more things to say. Naturally, more people will believe what they say.

So for various reasons, the Gu family chose to keep this matter secret.

Although this was a bit unfair to Gu Jinhe, as she was clearly the victim, she couldn't speak out.

Because of this incident, Gu Jinyu's temperament became calm and he almost never went out.

In the past, he would go out every day to find a group of friends and have fun together.

But now he often has a gloomy look between his brows and rarely has any expression on his face.

During the monthly morning and evening prayers, he would sit at the end and seldom speak.

Normally, he would say whatever he wanted to say and never consider other people's feelings.

But now he seemed unable to speak. He just looked at others with a serious look and did not join in their conversation.

Gradually, he became like an invisible person. Gu Jinrong used to be taciturn, and now Gu Jinyu rarely even sees him.

Gu Jinrong frowned slightly as she looked at Gu Jinyu, who had been sitting opposite her for almost an hour and was still drinking tea in silence with his head down.

Gu Jinrong picked up the empty kettle and said, "The tea is gone. I'll go get some. Wait a moment."

At this time, Gu Jinyu looked up and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't bother, I came here because I want to ask you something."

Gu Jinrong sighed softly and said whatever he wanted to say. He sat there for a long time without saying anything and drank a bellyful of tea.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask."

Gu Jinyu's eyes flickered, he looked at Gu Jinrong and asked, "Second brother seems to be very busy these days?"

Gu Jinrong: "I had some personal matters to deal with, so I was away for a little longer."

Gu Jinyu, however, insisted on this matter: "Over the years, I have hardly seen my second brother go out for such a long time. Does he have any private matters to deal with? Do the old lady and Third Uncle know?"

Gu Jinrong said calmly: "Since it is a private matter, it is naturally inconvenient to talk about it. Since I can solve my own problems, why should I let the old lady and my father worry?"

Seeing that Gu Jinrong refused to say anything, Gu Jinyu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Half a month ago, my second brother didn't even hold an umbrella. He hurried to the Rose Courtyard when he came back from outside. Maybe there was something urgent?"

Gu Jinrong looked up at him and said without changing his expression, "Are you curious about me or about Sister Jinhe?"

Gu Jinyu smiled and said, "You are my second brother, and she is my sister. As a younger brother and older brother, can't I care about you?"

Gu Jinrong did not comment. He said calmly, "I left in a hurry that day and did not bring an umbrella. I went to look for Sister Jinhe because of a personal matter. It was not a big deal."

"Oh?" Gu Jinyu didn't say whether he believed it or not, but he knew he wouldn't get an answer.

Gu Jinyu stood up and said, "It's getting late. I should go back. Speaking of which, among the Gu family, only the tea served by my second brother and sister Jinhe is the most memorable. They are all good teas."

The way he said this made people who didn't know think that the Gu family had treated him unfairly.
