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

Some things are big or small.

Some things are harmless even if you ask.

But today Gu Jinhe did not take them with her when she went out, and she did not say where she was going.

That was not something they could ask. If they asked too much, it would become like trying to find out Gu Jinhe's whereabouts.

Gu Jinhe is not blind, of course he saw the quarrel between Shuhua and Shumo, but he really couldn't tell where she went today.

It was already the time when the seven great families were going to encircle and suppress the Murong family. Now Gu Jinhe went to Murong Qinglan's tomb to sweep the grave. If this matter were to get out, even with the pressure of filial piety, I'm afraid the rumors from the outside world would not be good for the Gu family.

Gu Jinhe pointed at the snacks she brought back from outside on the table and said, "Take these snacks back and eat them."

Shuhua's eyes lit up: "Did the eldest lady buy these specifically for me and Sister Shumo?"

Shu Mo also looked over, with an expectant look on his face.

Seeing this, Gu Jinhe curled his lips slightly: "Of course it's for you, otherwise who else could it be for?"

Shuhua smiled happily while holding the snack box, and Shumo's expression also relaxed slightly.

Gu Jinhe glanced at the yard outside and asked, "Where's Xu Cheng? Why don't I see him?"

Usually Xu Cheng would stay in the Rose Courtyard. As long as Gu Jinhe was at home, she could see him just by turning her head.

But now that she was back, she hadn't seen him for a long time, which was a bit strange.

Shu Mo lowered his head slightly and said, "The young butler went to the old lady's Qinglan Courtyard. It seems that the old butler wants to see him for something."

Gu Jinhe frowned slightly: "When did you go?"

Shu Mo: "He left after lunch and never came back."

Went to the old lady's yard?

Who are you going to meet?

Old lady? Or old housekeeper?

Gu Jinhe didn't see Xu Cheng come back until she finished dinner, so she said to Shu Mo, "When Xu Cheng comes back, ask him to come to the study to find me."

Shu Mo whispered, “Yes.”

Gu Jinhe sat on a chair behind the desk in the study, and on the desk was the photo album he brought back from the old lady yesterday.

Gu Jinhe turned to the photo of Murong Qinglan and the old lady. Looking at the photo, Murong Qinglan was looking at the old lady with a gentle expression. She was extremely beautiful when she was young.

Gu Jinhe couldn't help but feel a little emotional for a moment. It seemed that her grandfather was a gentle person, but how could Murong Qinglan, who grew up in the Murong family, be as gentle as he showed in front of the old lady?

When he found out that the old lady was pregnant, even with his last breath left, his only request was that the old lady abort the baby so as not to add to her sin.

Gu Jinhe knew that the reason he did this was not only because he didn't want to add more sins to the Murong family, but also because he didn't want to cause trouble for the old lady.

Giving birth to a child with the direct blood of the Murong family would be very troublesome, and one would even have to endure the pain of losing a child in the future.

Murong Qinglan knew this better than anyone else, which was why he didn't want the old lady to give birth to the child.

But because of Murong Qinglan's death, the old lady didn't want to abort the only thing he left her in this world. She couldn't bear to do it, and didn't want to.

No matter how much the Xie family forced and persuaded her, the old lady did not give in. In the end, she was protected by Gu Yanzhi, who married the old lady back to the Gu family and treated the child born by the old lady as his own.

It has to be said that the two men the old lady met both valued her very much.

Being deeply loved by these two outstanding young men from aristocratic families in this life, from another perspective, isn’t the old lady also the protagonist of her own life?

Gu Jinhe raised her hand and gently touched Murong Qingse's gentle eyebrows in the photo, and a hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Grandpa, if you were given another chance, would you still let the old lady get close to you?"

“If you knew the ending of my father and me, would you still fall in love with the old lady?”

"I'm sorry, I've never seen you. If it weren't for this photo album, I'm afraid I would never have the chance to see your true face in my life."

"But it's not too late to know now. I still have to say sorry to you. This is my first time to the cemetery, and I didn't know I had to bring paper money. If I can survive, I will definitely bring a lot of paper money to see you, so that you will have more than enough money to spend in the afterlife."

"If... you have any memories in your next life, then don't see me again."

By the time Xu Cheng knocked on the study door, Gu Jinhe had calmed down.

Gu Jinhe raised his eyes to look at Xu Cheng who was standing in front of the desk, tilted his head to look at the moon hanging high outside the window, and asked, "Why did you come back so late?"

Xu Cheng lowered his eyelids and whispered back, "I forgot the time while playing chess with grandpa."

Gu Jinhe closed the photo album on the table, put it in the drawer, and asked casually: "Have you had dinner?"

Xu Cheng: “I have used it.”

Gu Jinhe looked at Xu Cheng and said softly, "Then go back and rest early."

Xu Cheng was stunned when he heard this. He thought Gu Jinhe would ask something, but he didn't expect that he only asked two questions and then let him go back to rest.

Seeing Xu Cheng standing there motionless with a dazed look on his face, Gu Jinhe raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Why, do you have anything else to say to me?"

Xu Cheng quickly came back to his senses. He lowered his head slightly and said, "No, Miss, you should also go to bed early."

After saying this, Xu Cheng paused for a few seconds before turning around and leaving the study.

Looking at the study door that was gently closed, Gu Jinhe sighed and leaned back in his chair. He originally asked Xu Cheng to go to the study because he wanted him to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes.

But when he saw the photo album on the table, Gu Jinhe didn't want Xu Cheng to investigate anymore.

The mastermind behind this is hiding too deeply, and Gu Jinhe is worried that if Xu Cheng investigates too much, he will get into danger.

As for what Xu Cheng did in Qinglan Courtyard the whole afternoon and half the night, perhaps the old lady had told him something.

Gu Jinhe didn't want to find out anything for the time being.

What choice to make is Xu Cheng's business. After being reborn in this life, Gu Jinhe swore that he would make Xu Cheng take the surname of the Gu family and take the position of the steward of the Gu family.

Now that he has a good relationship with the old lady, it will be much easier for him to take the position of butler in the future.

And in order for Xu Cheng to safely sit in the position of steward, he still needs the help of one more person.

That evening, Gu Jinhe made an appointment with Gu Jinkuan to make tea in the pavilion by the lotus pond.

It is almost the end of the year, and Gu Jinhong and Qin Yi's engagement party will be held in a few days. As the heir of the Gu family, besides Gu Jinhong, he is the busiest person at this engagement party.

If you want to make an appointment with Gu Jinkuan to have tea and chat, you need to make an appointment in advance. Otherwise, if you want to find him, you don’t know where he is.

There was only Gu Jinhe in the pavilion. She sat inside and quietly brewed tea. Her movements were smooth and flowing, like an art performance. It was a pity that she was the only one there and no one could see it.

There was an ink-stained incense burner on the table. From the gaps in the lotus patterns, wisps of smoke slowly rose, and the faint scent of sandalwood drifted in the wind.
