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

The following days were just as Gu Jinhe had expected. Everyone in the Gu family turned their attention to finding Gu Chenliang, including investigating Murong Qingxuan.

On this day, it was drizzling and Gu Jinhe was walking slowly in the rain alone, holding an umbrella.

She walked along the path and came to a wide stone road. The further she walked, the emptier the road became, and the fewer people were walking on it.

The number of residential houses gradually decreased.

Until we arrived at the steps of a stilt building. Standing at the bottom of the steps, we could smell the scent of incense coming from the house.

Gu Jinhe walked up the stairs holding an umbrella. Besides the sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella, the eaves and the ground, there was also the sound of wooden fish being struck coming from inside the house.

"Dong...dong...dong..."

One sound follows another, neither fast nor slow, as if there is some kind of pattern.

Gu Jinhe walked under the eaves, put down her umbrella, stood at the door and looked inside.

This is her second time here.

The first time I came here was to see Ye Pingting who was imprisoned here.

The second time I came here was to see Gu Jinyu who was imprisoned here.

The difference is that in her previous life, Ye Pingting was locked up here by the old lady and was not allowed to go out for the rest of her life.

In his entire life, Gu Jinyu was only imprisoned for three months.

Gu Jinhe stepped over the high threshold and the moment he walked in, he felt a warm breath coming towards him, with a not-too-strong smell of incense.

Gu Jinhe immediately saw Gu Jinyu kneeling behind a low table, copying scriptures with his head down.

There is a statue of Guanyin in the hall opposite the door, with half-closed eyes and a kind look. Below it is a long table covered with yellow satin, on which is an incense burner with three incense sticks burning. The smell of incense comes from here, and there are three cushions placed on the ground.

And since Gu Jinhe came in, the sound of the wooden fish disappeared.

As Gu Jinyu was writing, he noticed a shadow in front of him blocking his sight.

He raised his eyes slightly and saw the figure standing in front of him. She was wearing a pair of white leather shoes and a pair of slender white ankles under the lavender skirt. Looking up, he could see the tassels hanging down from the apricot shawl.

Then he saw Gu Jinhe's face.

Gu Jinyu paused, then he lowered his head and continued copying the scriptures, as if he didn't see Gu Jinhe.

Gu Jinhe lowered his eyelids and looked at him for a while, then said, "You copied it wrong."

"To have no worries in your heart is not to have worries in your heart."

Gu Jinyu took a closer look and found that he had indeed copied it wrong. If Gu Jinhe hadn't been standing here and disturbing his thoughts, how could he have copied it wrong?

Gu Jinyu put down his pen and looked up at Gu Jinhe: "What on earth are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"

Gu Jinhe said calmly: "If I wanted to laugh at you, I wouldn't have come here. Besides, what kind of joke is this? It's not like you're not going out, right?"

Gu Jinyu frowned: "What on earth are you going to do?"

Gu Jinhe lowered his eyes and looked at him: "I want to know what Murong Qingxuan said to you."

Gu Jinyu showed a look of surprise on his face. He looked at Gu Jinhe and said in a deep voice, "Why do you want to know what Murong Qingxuan said to me? Is it important to you?"

Gu Jinhe's eyes and brows were cold, even cooler than the sound of rain hitting the roof outside.

"From your expression, I can tell that what Murong Qingxuan told you is definitely not just what happened between your fifth uncle and second brother."

Gu Jinhe asked curiously, "But what I find strange is why you didn't say it that night?"

"Don't believe it, or don't want to believe it?"

Gu Jinyu said directly: "There is no such thing as wanting or not wanting. I don't know anything."

Gu Jinhe curved his lips and chuckled: "Fourth brother, do you know what it means to be so rude?"

Gu Jinyu frowned: "What on earth are you going to do?"

Gu Jinhe curved his lips and said, "Nothing, I'm just purely curious. What did Murong Qingxuan say to you that made you believe that it was your second brother who harmed your fifth uncle?"

Gu Jinyu: "Isn't what he told me wrong? Wasn't it Gu Jinrong who killed my father?"

"There has been no news about my father so far. I don't know whether he is alive or dead. I don't want to believe it, but I have no choice but to believe it."

Gu Jinhe shook his head slightly: "No, before this, Murong Qingxuan must have said something else, which made Fourth Brother believe his words without even a doubt."

Gu Jinyu's eyes flashed, he lowered his head and said coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about. Murong Qingxuan only told me this. I don't know anything else."

Gu Jinhe slowly squatted down and looked at Gu Jinyu straight in the eye. Gu Jinhe saw dodging and escaping in his eyes.

Gu Jinhe looked at him and said word by word: "Didn't he tell you who I am?"

Gu Jinyu's expression suddenly changed. He raised his eyes abruptly and looked at Gu Jinhe with a look of shock on his face.

Gu Jinhe raised his eyebrows slightly and curved his lips and said, "From your reaction, it seems as if you and I have switched places. I'm not nervous, so why are you nervous?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinyu quickly restrained the expression on his face, but he had no choice but to let his inner thoughts show.

Gu Jinhe reached out and picked up the scripture on the table and flipped through it, then said casually, "Why do I feel like you believe whatever Murong Qingxuan says to you?"

Gu Jinyu almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face. He raised his hand to take back the scripture and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Gu Jinhe took back her hand, looked at him and raised the corner of her lips: "I'm not in a hurry, wait until you want to tell me."

Then Gu Jinhe knelt down behind the desk opposite Gu Jinyu. After grinding the ink, she lowered her eyes slightly and began to write on a piece of white rice paper.

Time passed by minute by minute. During this period, Gu Jinyu raised his head and looked across countless times. He also wanted to throw the pen in his hand and leave countless times.

But there was a guard at the door and he was not allowed to leave before the time.

The rain outside the door kept falling, and the house was so quiet that only a slight rustling sound could be heard. The silent space and the smell of incense at the tip of the nose infinitely amplified the sound of rain outside the door.

The sound of rain, which could be ignored before, has now become an indelible noise lingering in my ears.

Gu Jinyu once again looked up at Gu Jinhe, who was kneeling quietly and writing opposite him. There was no sign of anxiety or panic on her face.

It seemed that Gu Jinyu had never seen such an expression on Gu Jinhe's face.

She was always aloof, or had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were calm, as if she didn't care about anything.

At this moment, she was kneeling behind the low table. Her sitting posture was standard, the way she held the pen, her back was straight, and her expression was calm and peaceful. She seemed to fit in perfectly with this place.

But Gu Jinyu never spoke.

One day, two days, three days...
