The moon tonight is unusually bright, shining on the surface of the pond, making the ripples look like shining stars.

There was silence by the pond. After realizing that he had made such a low-level mistake, Gu Jinyu didn't know what to say.

He always felt that whatever he said in front of Gu Jinhe was wrong.

There were carp in the pond that occasionally jumped out of the water, as if looking at the two people curiously.

At this time, Gu Jinhe said, "I have met these people this afternoon. Go and invite them back tomorrow morning. Be sure to be respectful."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Jinyu became unhappy. After all, he was the fourth young master of the Gu family. How could he be respectful to the servants?

Wouldn't this affect his position in their hearts in the future?

Gu Jinyu didn't want to go, but he knew that since Gu Jinhe had already spoken, if he objected, he might be the one to be kicked out of the Gu family's ancestral home.

For some reason, Gu Jinyu had a premonition that if he refused, he would be treated the same as those servants who were kicked out.

After a long silence, Gu Jinyu finally did not object.

Because he was worried that he would really be kicked out of his ancestral home in the future.

Gu Jinyu knew that even if he was really kicked out, no one would plead for him.

The Gu family never opposes any decision made by Gu Jinhe.

It's just about driving him out of the ancestral home, not killing him, so there's no need for the Gu family to object.

Moreover, if they knew what he had done, they might even applaud.

After saying that, Gu Jinhe stood up and left and went back to his room.

She had already given her reminder, and it was up to Gu Jinyu to decide what to do. After all, he was going to live here for the rest of his life, and if he continued to be unpopular, he would suffer sooner or later.

The next morning, when Gu Jinhe was having breakfast, he heard Xu Cheng say that Gu Jinyu went out at dawn, and came back not long after with the people he had driven out.

These people each performed their duties and returned to their respective posts.

After breakfast, Gu Jinhe was on her way to the pond and saw a few people who were cleaning. When they saw Gu Jinhe, they stopped what they were doing, bowed slightly to her and called her "Miss".

Gu Jinhe nodded slightly at them without disturbing their work, and walked calmly to the edge of the pond. She sat down on the stone where she sat last night, watching the carp swimming around in the water facing the early sun, with a slight smile on her lips.

He took a plate of prepared fish food from the food box and scattered it into the pond. Suddenly, there was a splashing sound on the water surface.

Watching them scrambling to eat the fish food, Gu Jinhe felt very calm.

After a while, Mr. Zhao came over with a tray in his hand. On it was a ceramic bowl and plate covered with a lid of the same color.

Gu Jinhe stood up and looked at Mr. Zhao, and asked, "Did you raise these fish back then?"

Mr. Zhao looked at the carp in the pond with nostalgia in his eyes: "Yes, I raised twenty of them back then. I took good care of them over the years, so they are all still alive."

After he finished speaking, General Zhao handed the bowl and dish in front of Gu Jinhe and said, "This is the snack I asked the kitchen to make this morning. I wonder if it suits the young lady's taste."

Gu Jinhe opened the ceramic lid and found a snack made of rose petals inside.

Mr. Zhao explained, "I heard from the old mansion that the eldest daughter loves roses very much, so I thought of using rose petals to make snacks. You should like them."

Gu Jinhe saw a towel for washing on the tray, so she took it and wiped her hands, picked up a piece of dessert and tasted it, then she narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Mr. Zhao and said, "You are thoughtful, I like it very much."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhao immediately smiled and said, "As long as the young lady likes it, do you like other snacks? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare them for you. I guarantee that you can also taste snacks that suit your taste in the ancestral home."

Gu Jinhe looked at the delicate pink and white flower-shaped desserts dotted with flower petals in her hand and said, "This is great. I haven't tried the famous dishes here yet. Let the kitchen prepare some."

Old Zhao sighed, and one could hear happiness in his tone, just because Gu Jinhe wanted to try their famous dishes.

This gave Mr. Zhao the illusion that Gu Jinhe would stay for a long time.

I just told Mr. Zhao this morning that I wanted to try the famous dishes here, and the lunch dishes were already prepared.

This place is located in the south and the food tastes sweeter, which Gu Jinhe can still accept.

The more famous dishes did taste very good. Gu Jinhe ate some of them. Mr. Zhao took note of which dishes Gu Jinhe liked and served them more often in the future. As for those that Gu Jinhe had never touched, they would never appear on Gu Jinhe's table again.

In short, I just want Gu Jinhe to live more comfortably during the limited time she stays in the ancestral home.

After dinner, Gu Jinhe returned to the yard and moved a chair to the door to bask in the sun.

Just when Gu Jinhe was drowsy from basking in the sun, Gu Jinyu came over. Although he was stopped by Xu Cheng in front of him, this was not the Rose Courtyard far away in the capital, and there was no archway blocking the way.

Even though Xu Cheng was blocking in front, Gu Jinhe still heard Gu Jinyu's voice.

Gu Jinyu's deep voice came over: "Gu Jinhe, what did you say to my father? Why is he crying all the time?"

Gu Jinhe opened his eyes, tilted his head to look at him, and said calmly: "What do you think I said would make Uncle Wu cry?"

It must have been something that made him extremely sad.

Gu Jinyu glared and pulled away Xu Cheng's arm that was blocking him. After receiving Gu Jinhe's signal, Xu Cheng withdrew his hand and stood behind Gu Jinhe.

Gu Jinyu came to Gu Jinhe with an ugly look on his face: "What on earth did you say to my father?!"

Gu Jinhe raised his eyes and looked at Gu Jinyu, who seemed extremely angry, with a calm look in his eyes.

Noticing Gu Jinhe's gaze, Gu Jinyu suddenly became even angrier, his face full of anger: "My father has been fine since he came to the ancestral home, and there has never been a situation like this. You were the only one who was an accident yesterday. What did you do in my father's room? Why did my father keep crying!"

Seeing that Gu Jinhe remained silent, Gu Jinyu said harshly: "If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never let you go!"

Xu Cheng, who was standing behind Gu Jinhe, looked at Gu Jinyu with cold eyes without a trace of emotion.

Gu Jinhe indifferently withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "I just told Uncle Wu that when Gu Feiwan was born, the old lady gave her a name."

"what?"

Gu Jinyu was stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He stared at Gu Jinhe with wide eyes: "What did you just say?"

Did the old lady give Gu Feiwan a name?

How come I have never heard the old lady talk about this?

Not even my father knew.
