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

Gu Jinhe was right about one thing. Even if it was for the old butler, the old lady would not object.

Because this has always been the knot in the old housekeeper's heart. The pain of seeing his son die young can only be understood by the old lady who has had the same experience.

So for the sake of the old butler, the old lady would not refuse.

The old lady raised her hand and rubbed her swollen and painful temple, and whispered: "I will have someone spread the news. When the ancestral hall is opened after the New Year, Xu Cheng's name will be written into the Gu family's genealogy."

From now on, the surname Gu will be added to the front of Xu Cheng's name.

Having settled his worry, Gu Jinhe left Qinglan Courtyard without staying long.

Looking at Gu Jinhe who left without hesitation, the old lady smiled helplessly and said, "This girl is really a throwaway, she won't even say a nice word. What should I do in the future?"

The old housekeeper said, "Don't worry, old lady. The eldest lady has a plan in mind, and others can't easily plot against her."

The old lady frowned slightly and said, "If it's just a plot, I'm not worried about it. But it's easier to dodge an open attack than to defend against an arrow from the dark. I'm worried that one day I'll see a scene I don't want to see."

The hidden arrow in the old lady's words was referring to the Murong family. As Gu Jinhe was getting closer to turning 28, the old lady had problems sleeping during this period, and was sometimes even awakened by scenes in her dreams.

I remember that once she was awakened by a nightmare, and the old lady couldn't recover for a long time. She thought about the scenes in the dream, and there was real grief in her eyes.

In the dream, the old lady saw Gu Jinhe lying in a pool of blood, his face pale and his eyes closed.

The scene seemed to be real and kept flashing in the old lady's mind for a long time, tormenting her so much that she couldn't sleep well at night.

Perhaps because she dreamed about something at night, the old lady could only use such words to comfort herself.

As to whether she was comforted or not, only the old lady herself knew.

A fierce look flashed in the old housekeeper's eyes: "As long as we overthrow the Murong family before that day, we can save the life of the eldest lady."

To this end, they will do whatever it takes.

Therefore, not long after the engagement party, rumors circulated that Xu Cheng would take the position of Gu family's steward after the New Year.

The original butler will retire early. Although he is said to be retired, he will stay by the old lady's side as long as he can stand up one day.

The outside world was talking about it for a while because Xu Cheng was suddenly going to take the position of steward.

Everyone knows that Xu Cheng is Gu Jinhe's man. If Xu Cheng is allowed to take the position of steward, wouldn't that mean Gu Jinhe will become the heir of the Gu family?

After all, the Gu family's housekeeper inheritance has been like this for many years.

Just when everyone was wondering whether Gu Jinhe had done something, Gu Jinkuan stood up and spoke.

He briefly recounted the whole story on his public media platform. As for the fact that Xu Cheng was currently following him, the Gu family did not violate the previous rules, and Xu Cheng was indeed following him as the heir.

Until the old butler steps down after the new year and Xu Cheng takes over the position of butler, Xu Cheng will stay by Gu Jinkuan's side.

This is the first time that the butler has inherited the position before the heir takes the position of head of the family.

The main reason is that Xu Cheng's father passed away early, otherwise it should be Xu Cheng's father who took the position of butler now.

This succession of stewards was delayed by several decades.

Because of Gu Jinkuan's explanation, speculation from the outside world gradually decreased. After all, the only two people who were the main characters in the topic came out to explain, so no matter how much people speculated, they would not be able to get any verification.

At the same time, some people also speculated what role Gu Jinhe played in this. After all, if Xu Cheng took the position of housekeeper, her status in the Gu family would rise, and she would have more power than before.

He can even compete with Gu Jinkuan, the legitimate heir of the Gu family.

If Gu Jinhe really wants to compete for the position of heir, it is not impossible.

After all, once the power outside the Gu family is in Xu Cheng's hands, it will be no different from falling into Gu Jinhe's hands.

But even though he knew this was a possibility, Gu Jinkuan still helped Gu Jinhe without any hesitation.

Just for this trust, Gu Jinhe would never compete with him for anything, and would even help him to secure his position more firmly.

The drizzle continued on and off for half a month before gradually stopping. The weather was getting colder and colder, and there was less than a week left until January 1st.

In the past twenty days, Gu Jinhe rarely went out. The only time she went out was to see Fu Huaiyuan, and the other time was to see Liu Shuya.

The purpose of meeting Liu Shuya was to arrange Murong Qingming's future affairs, and the details needed to be discussed.

As for meeting Fu Huaiyuan, it was also to enable Murong Qingming to leave the Murong family smoothly, and then after plastic surgery, he could smoothly re-enter the Murong family.

Gu Jinhe had arranged everything quietly. Apart from Gu Jinhe, Murong Qingming, Liu Shuya and Fu Huaiyuan, no one else in the Gu family knew about it.

Even the old lady didn't notice Gu Jinhe's arrangement.

During this last week, Gu Jinhe had completely free time. One afternoon, he even sat in the pavilion beside the pond and fished with a fishing rod.

The pavilion was leaking everywhere, and Shumo and Shuhua were worried that Gu Jinhe would get cold, so they moved an oven over and started roasting sweet potatoes on the spot.

The air was filled with the aroma of roasted potatoes, and even the chilly breeze had a hint of warmth.

Although the sunlight above is not scorching, it still makes the river surface sparkle.

Gu Jinhe was fishing with a fishing rod in one hand, but her eyes were looking at the distant clouds through the courtyard wall.

Perhaps because of the wind, the clouds were passing by faster than usual, but when looking up from the ground, they were still slow.

Just then, a snapping sound was heard next to his ears. Gu Jinhe withdrew his thoughts and turned to look.

It turned out that Shuhua had put chestnuts in the oven. After being heated, the hard shells on the chestnuts exploded and even flew to the ground, rolling into the pond without waiting for anyone to react.

With a "dong" sound, the faint sound of someone falling into the water reached the ears of the three people.

Then Gu Jinhe felt the fishing rod in his hand shake slightly, and then he saw a goldfish as big as a palm, shaking its tail and swaggering away from the bait.

Gu Jinhe sighed softly. She had been sitting here for half an hour, but no fish had been caught. Just now, a fish was about to be caught, but it was scared away by Li Zi.

Shuhua realized that he had made a mistake, so he didn't dare to roast it anymore, but went to the other side to make tea.

Shu Mo used a knife to cut a hole in the raw chestnuts that had not yet been put into the oven, then put them in the oven to roast and brushed them with a layer of honey. This way, the chestnut flesh would be more flavorful.

After a while, I could smell the unique fragrance of chestnuts, which became even sweeter with the addition of honey.
