In the Gu family, no one would dare not listen to Gu Hengyuan's words.Therefore, after the funeral, Fu Yuanzhuo and Ruan Sheng's things were immediately moved to the main house.

The one who lived with them was the boy who appeared at the funeral, named Gu Yu, who was about the same age as Ruan Sheng and studied in a private school.

Thinking about it, Gu Hengli didn't treat him badly, what Gu Yunfei should have, Gu Yu also has.

They were placed on the second floor, and the third floor was Gu Hengyuan's residence.Further up, there is a small attic, which I heard has not been lived in for a long time.

When Fu Yuanzhuo and Ruan Sheng returned to Gu's house, they were led to the gate of the main house.

The grand and high gate is simple and elegant. Compared with the small villa where Gu Hengli and his wife lived, this place is obviously much more solemn and luxurious, showing the strong financial resources of the Gu family.

The person who brought them here simply explained a few words and left without even entering the gate of the main house.

Ruan Sheng and the others had no choice but to ring the doorbell and wait for the people inside to open the door.

After a few minutes, the metal door was opened, and behind the door stood an aunt in her fifties, with gray hair and a calm expression on her face, wearing an apron in front of her, she seemed to be a servant of the Gu family.

"Hello, Auntie, we moved here from there." Ruan Sheng pointed in the direction of the small villa.

As soon as the aunt heard this, she knew the origin of the two, and opened the door wide: "I see, come in."

Ruan Sheng dragged Fu Yuanzhuo in, the aunt glanced at them lightly, and suddenly saw Fu Yuanzhuo's face, she was inexplicably stunned, and froze in place.

"Auntie?" Ruan Sheng looked at her strangely, and waved her hand in front of her eyes.

The aunt came back to her senses suddenly, with a complicated expression on her face: "It's okay, come with me. My surname is Ding, just call me Aunt Ding from now on."

Aunt Ding took Ruan Sheng and Fu Yuanzhuo to the second floor. Their new room was next to each other, which was much larger than the previous room and contained everything in it.

"The third floor is Mr.'s residence. Without permission, you are absolutely not allowed to enter Mr.'s bedroom and study. If you get into trouble, don't blame me for not telling you." Aunt Ding's voice was very cold, and she didn't care about the two newcomers. Don't care, "Sir and Master Lin are very busy with work, and they rarely go home to live. If you have any requests, you can tell me, and I will convey them to you."

Ruan Sheng nodded obediently after listening.

Aunt Ding took them around the villa, told them to come down for dinner at six o'clock, and went back to her own business.

Ruan Sheng is quite satisfied with this arrangement. He doesn't want to face the protagonist Gong and the scary-looking Gu Hengyuan every day. It's better for Fu Yuanzhuo to find the clues as soon as possible so that they can leave Gu's house.

At dinner, there were only three people at the table.

Ruan Sheng and Fu Yuanzhuo sat on the same side, and Gu Yu sat opposite.Aunt Ding brought the dishes to the table one by one, and did not prepare her own bowls and chopsticks.

"Won't Aunt Ding eat with us? You've been busy all afternoon, sit down and have a rest." Ruan Sheng asked after seeing her hard work.

Before Aunt Ding could speak, Gu Yu on the opposite side sneered, "Are you stupid? She's a servant! How can she eat at the same table as us?"

He scolded two people at once, and Ruan Sheng became unhappy when he heard it.

Aunt Ding's face was also a little ugly, but due to her status, she didn't say anything.

With a sound of "stab", Fu Yuanzhuo pulled away the chair next to him: "Aunt Ding, take a pair of bowls and chopsticks, just sit here."

He raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Yu, his eyes as deep as water made the person on the other side shiver uncontrollably.

Gu Yu shrank back first, then suddenly realized that Fu Yuanzhuo, like him, was an illegitimate child, not to mention that he had Gu Hengli backing him, so he didn't have to be afraid of Fu Yuanzhuo at all.

Thinking of this, Gu Yu raised his head, snorted coldly through his nose, and straightened his back, as if he was so powerful.

Fu Yuanzhuo's eyes were stained with sarcasm, and he silently looked away.

When Ruan Sheng saw Fu Yuanzhuo speak for him, the anger aroused by Gu Yu dissipated completely. Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, his mood also became better.

Aunt Ding's cooking skills are very good. Although the cooking is home-cooked, it is not bad compared to senior chefs in five-star hotels.

In front of Ruan Sheng was a dish of braised pork in red sauce with thick oil and red sauce, which looked very attractive.

Ruan Sheng didn't eat fat meat before. Before, his parents would pick out lean meat and put it in his bowl.When he arrived at the orphanage, even though he couldn't eat meat a few times a month, he was still very picky eater, and put all the food he didn't eat into Fu Yuanzhuo's bowl.

But at the dinner table, he was too embarrassed to do so in front of outsiders.

Ruan Sheng picked up a piece of fat and thin braised pork, and took a small bite. The tender, soy-flavored gravy instantly burst in his mouth. The meat was soft, yet elastic.Aunt Ding must have added rock sugar, the mellow aroma of this meat is still slightly sweet, which suits Ruan Sheng's appetite the most.

He felt that this bite made his tongue fresh, and it was very delicious.

The whole piece of braised pork was in his stomach, Ruan Sheng immediately raised his head and praised: "Auntie Ding's cooking is really delicious, this is the best braised pork I've ever eaten."

Aunt Ding was a little cautious at the dinner table, and kept silent all the time.But hearing Ruan Sheng's praise, a little joy inevitably appeared on his quiet face.

She has been working as a servant for the Gu family for more than 20 years. Although she has good cooking skills, the Gu family seldom come back to eat, and there is nowhere to display her skills.

Now it is always a little happy to hear someone praise themselves.

But someone on the other side wanted to pour cold water on it, so Gu Yu said contemptuously: "You are really ignorant, this dish can be considered delicious? Last time my dad took me to the hotel, the dish he ordered was ten thousand times better than this."

Ruan Sheng glared at him: "If you have the ability, don't eat, let your father take you to the hotel for dinner every day, and see if he agrees."

Gu Yu's face turned pale when he heard this, and he was immediately speechless.

He knew that Gu Hengli had several illegitimate children, and although he was the most favored, it was only because he was the oldest.Gu Hengli only took him out to play when he thought of him, not like a normal father at all.

Ruan Sheng let out a "hum", and continued to enjoy his dinner, eating it with gusto.

Aunt Ding stood up and brought a barley pork ribs soup from the kitchen. The blooming barley was white and dotted on the ribs. There were a few green and bright green onions floating on the soup noodles, which made people appetite.

"Eating barley in winter can remove moisture and is good for your health." Aunt Ding gave everyone a bowl and handed it to her.

When serving soup to Fu Yuanzhuo, Aunt Ding glanced at his face, her wrist trembled inadvertently, and the soup spilled onto the back of her hand.

Ruan Sheng quickly handed over a piece of paper: "Aunt Ding wipe it off, don't burn it."

Aunt Ding quickly looked away, took the paper from Ruan Sheng's hand, and sat back in her seat silently.

Fu Yuanzhuo noticed her abnormal expression just now, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought for a while.

-------------------------------------

Ruan Sheng lived in Gu's house for seven or eight days, and did not see Gu Hengyuan and Lin Zhen. Except for Gu Yu who occasionally showed up, the rest of the time was leisurely and comfortable.

It was Saturday, he came back from Su Yihan's house, and taught Miao Miao Chinese and mathematics all morning.

As soon as she entered the gate, she saw Aunt Ding was going upstairs with a rag and broom in her hand. It seemed that she was going to clean the room.

Ruan Sheng was a little strange. Although the Gu family didn't have many helpers, someone would come to clean the villa every three days. Aunt Ding's job was to cook and do laundry every day. Why did she have to clean it herself now?

He followed up and said, "Aunt Ding, which floor are you going to? Let me clean it for you."

"I'm going to the attic." Aunt Ding glanced at him, "I don't need your help, go and rest."

Ruan Sheng rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "I'm free even if I'm idle. I'll help Aunt Ding do something, so you can rest earlier."

Aunt Ding couldn't hold him back, so she had to let Ruan Sheng go upstairs with her.

The attic area is not big, only two rooms.

One is a bedroom with a simple and elegant decoration style. There is a European-style bed with pillars in the middle. The beige curtains hang naturally with delicate patterns and tassels.The dressing table and wardrobe next to it are also in a similar style. The whole room is bright and fresh, which makes people feel refreshed.

Aunt Ding wiped the counter carefully with a rag, and arranged everything on the counter one by one.

No one has lived here for a long time, and it is not popular at all, but it is very clean, presumably Aunt Ding often cleans it.

Ruan Sheng imitated her, wiped everything carefully, and then put it back to its original place.

After cleaning the bedroom, Aunt Ding opened the next room, and Ruan Sheng went in to take a look, her eyes widened in surprise.

"This is...a piano room?" Ruan Sheng looked around curiously.

Aunt Ding let out a "hmm".

This piano room was very large, with beige curtains hanging all around, and it was empty inside, except for a black piano in the center of the room, standing there quietly, as if it had been silent for many years.

Aunt Ding cleaned up everything around the room except the piano. Ruan Sheng couldn't bear it anymore, she went up to it silently, opened the piano cover, and the black and white keys were shiny and flawless, lying there silently.

Ruan Sheng pressed a key, and the clear sound of the piano sounded instantly. Aunt Ding immediately turned around, ran over in three steps at a time, and slapped Ruan Sheng's hand off.

"Don't move around, don't let me break it." Aunt Ding glared at him.

Ruan Sheng smiled: "Just play it once, it won't break."

Aunt Ding still didn't dare to push him away, saying repeatedly: "This thing is so precious, I dare not touch it, only professional people can move it."

"Don't worry, Aunt Ding, I really know how to play and won't break it." Ruan Sheng said, "If you don't believe me, I'll play a song for you."

He casually played a short section on the piano, and the melodious piano sound poured out. Aunt Ding originally stretched out her hand to stop him, but was frozen in place by the sound.

"You, you really know how to play?" Aunt Ding still didn't believe it.

"Of course." Ruan Sheng nodded.

Aunt Ding stared at him for a few seconds, seeing that Ruan Sheng didn't seem to be exaggerating, a look of excitement suddenly appeared on his face.

She bent down and took out a sheet music from the piano bench, and handed it to Ruan Sheng: "You play this, it sounds good. The first time I heard it, I remembered it for many years."

Ruan Sheng looked down and saw that the piano score was obviously old, and the pages were slightly yellowed, but it was very smooth, and it must have been carefully preserved.

He glanced at it hastily. This is Pachelbel's "Canon in D Major", which is also a widely spread piano piece.

In the lower right corner of the piano score, there was a small word "Nianqiu" written on it, and Ruan Sheng asked, "Aunt Ding, who is this 'Nianqiu'? Is this her piano?"

Aunt Ding was stunned for a while, and then said dryly, "She...she is Mrs., Mr.'s wife."

Her voice was erratic, and she didn't know what to think of, and her face was covered with deep sadness.

Outside the piano room, Fu Yuanzhuo suddenly stopped the step he was about to take, as if someone had poured cold water from head to toe, his whole body was numb, and he was nailed to the spot.
