Love is More than a Word, Chapter 28: Tit-for-tat (1)...

It was the table where Lu Zhenxue and Tao Mo met for the first time. From the bottom, you can hear the stairs creaking from upstairs.


The four of them sat down Lu Zhenxue just opposite Mu Chun, "And this is...."

Mu Chun cupped his fist and smiled, "I am Mu Chun, the new Master Steward hired by Tao Da-ren."

”Master Steward?" Lu Zhenxue was stunned. Although he is not a man of countless people, he still knows how to recognize people at least. The Mu Chun in front of him had the graceful manner of a nobleman, he was definitely from a good family and his eyes were radiant. He doesn't look like a runaway from his family. The fact that such a person would come to Tangyang County and become Tao Mo's mentor is really intriguing.

Tao Mo said, "Not bad."

Lu Zhenxue smiled: "Tao Da-ren's men are really hidden tigers(talented men)."

Mu Chun said, "I'm flattered." After he said that, he beckoned the staff to order the food without any intention of exploring Lu Zhenxue's identity.

Lu Zhenxue's heart was unhappy, but his face did not show it, so he turned to Tao Mo and said: "Tao Da-ren, how are you today? Do you have time to come to Xianmi Restaurant?"

Tao Mo said, "I was just passing by on my way out of Tong Manor."

"Tong Manor? But Tong Zhangwei, the Old Master Tong's Tong Manor?"

"Exactly."

Lu Zhenxue got in the mood "I didn't know Da-ren was friends with Old Master Tong."

Mu Chun's gaze flickered as he was about to turn it away Tao Mo had already blurted out, "Because of the Qiu Family. There was some dispute with the Liang Family in front of Tong Manor."

"Qiu Family? Liang Family? "Lu Zhenxue searched his mind for the last name. Qiu and Liang’s surnames and found nothing.

Mu Chun said, "It's just a little thing Da-ren didn't have to bring up that issue to spare Young Master Lu's meal."

Lu Zhenxue waved his hand: "I'm a litigator and I've never listened to disputes.”

Tao Mo thought about it: "It's better not to talk about this, as it involves a woman's reputation."

A lady's reputation?

Lu Zhenxue suddenly thought of the red-headed Tong Yinghong. Could it be related to her? He thought to himself, but he said, "If so, I'm talking out of turn."

It so happened that the staff served four sets of chopsticks.

Hao Guozi said, "Young Master Lu hasn't ordered yet.

Lu Zhenxue was about to raise his chopsticks to take a bite of his food when he was told that his chopsticks stopped in the air, ill at ease.

Mu Chun looked down and concentrated on the plate of vegetables in front of him and hid the slightly raised corners of his mouth.




Tao Mo said, "Young Master Lu invited me to the banquet last time, and I'm inviting him back."

It's good that he didn't say it in a perfunctory way, but when he did, the blush on Lu Zhenxue's face became more and more obvious.

Hao Guozi muttered, "Didn't you just get a belly full of gas at that time?"

Tao Mo didn't think so. If it wasn't for Lu Zhenxue's invitation, he wouldn't have been able to talk to Gu She and he would have had to thank him. With that thought in his mind, he lifted the cup of tea in front of him and said, "The last banquet at the Lu residence was a long time in coming. Young Master Lu thank you and please forgive me."

Lu Zhenxue thought he and Hao Guozi were mocking him by singing "white face(good cop)" and "red face(bad cop)" one at a time and shrank back from raising his chopsticks. His hand hand-picked up the cup with a leathery smile and said, "Okay, okay!"

They both sip their tea.

Tao Mo even invited him to order.

Lu Zhenxue thought it would be a bit too narrow to order now, so he half-heartedly raised his chopsticks again.

Hao Guozi tilted his eyes at him.

The atmosphere was a bit stiff.

Tao Mo didn't know what to say to Mu Chun.

Mu Chun put a chopstick of vegetables into Hao Guozi's bowl and said, "Don't worry, no one will steal it from you."

Lu Zhenxue's chopsticks went to the vegetables, only to fall into the mushrooms and stir-fried slices of meat on the plate. Mouth just heard Hao Guozi reluctantly mutter, "Who wants to eat vegetables I clearly like meat ..."

........

Lu Zhenxue felt that this piece of meat in his mouth was the most unpleasant meal he had ever eaten.

Halfway through the meal, Lu Zhenxue took his leave before the food was ready.

Tao Mo tried to stop him, but he couldn't be stopped.

After he left, Tao Mo stared at Hao Guozi and said, "Don't ever do that again."

Hao Guozi pouted, "Who let him taunt the young Master in public."

Tao Mo said, "It's not his fault that I'm illiterate."

Hao Guozi said, "So what if you don't know what you're talking about? People like him are snobs."

Mu Chun smiled and said, "Not necessarily snobbish."

Tao Mo echoed, "He seems like a nice guy to me."

Mu Chun glanced at him and said, "That's not necessarily true."

Hao Guozi stared at him and waited for him to reveal something bad about Lu Zhenxue and Mu Chun didn't continue.

Tao Mo hesitated and then said to Hao Guozi, "Anyway, you've changed it all."

"All?" Hao Guozi froze. "Who else?"

Tao Mo buried his head in his rice bowl and didn't say.

Hao Guozi suddenly said, "Did you say Gu She?"

Tao Mo choked as he ate.

Hao Guozi sat across from Tao Mo and stared at Mu Chun, who was still eating his own food, and said, "Come on! Pat the young Master.”

Mu Chun took one look at him and slowly reached out his hand to pat Tao Mo's back twice.

Hao Guozi was on the verge of rushing over to Tao Mo himself, but Tao Mo stopped.

"Young Master, are you alright?" Hao Guozi looked at him nervously.

Tao Mo choked and blushed but calmly waved his chopsticks, "Let's eat."

"...Oh..."



In Tangyang County, this kind of marriage dispute rarely went to the magistrate's court, so a lawyer was involved. Mediation is much faster than going to the county court. But Liang Family seems to be determined to hand over the lawsuit as soon as Cui Jiong persuaded him to do so. The magistrate's office.

Master Jin took the paper to Tao Mo to see if he would accept it.

Tao Mo is discussing the draft with the military secretary, and Mu Chun is listening with a sullen expression.




Master Jin has some reservations about this new staff member who popped up out of nowhere. One thing he does agree with Lu Zhenxue on is that Mu Chun's demeanor doesn't seem subservient. The magistrate of the magistrate's court.

The barrack Master took his leave as soon as Master Jin entered.

Tao Mo asked, "What is it?"

Master Jin handed him the paper, "Liang Family sued Qiu Family for breaking their promise to a daughter. Two marriages."

Tao Mo looked at the dense writing and then at Master Jin, and said, "What is written on the paper?"

Master Jin said, "In a nutshell, these are the two sentences."

Mu Chun took a look at the paper and said: "What Master Jin said is true."

Tao Mo said, "Then when do we go to court?"

Master Jin said, "Da-ren is going to take the petition?"

Tao Mo wondered, "Why not?"

Master Jin saw Mu Chun looking at him and said, "I just asked casually."

Mu Chun also said carelessly, "I think the signature on the paper seems to be Lu Zhenxue."

Tao Mo was stunned. "Lu Zhenxue?"

Master Jin then remembered that he had omitted to mention this item, so he was busy mending his ways by stating that Lu Zhenxue was a famous litigator in the county and that his family background was all over the place.

Mu Chun smiled and said, "This Young Master Lu is really capable. I'm sure he'll be able to do a lot of work.

Master Jin said, "I just don't know who the Qiu Family is going to hire again." I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure it's going to be Mr. Yichui's protégé, not to mention Old Master Tong. The fact that Lu Zhenxue is Mr. Yichui's favorite student is alarming enough. Mr. Yichui's disciples.

Tao Mo: "It doesn't matter who it is, the important thing is not to let the Qiu Family Second Young Miss be hurt."

Master Jin was stunned and lost his smile: "I didn't know that the owner was a sentimental person."

Tao Mo said: "I just don't want to see any more innocent women being hurt."



Just as Master Jin had expected, Liang Family's case was accepted and immediately Qiu Family had a case. It's a move. It was Yichui's protégé they hired.

Master Jin introduced Tao Mo again.

"Sun Nuo is not as good as Mr. Yichui's students, but even worse than Lu Zhenxue. A big cut. But he's good friends with Gu She, and I've heard that she's helped him with some of the difficult cases he's taken on since his debut, so even though he's qualified... It's not bad, but we haven't lost a case yet."

Tao Mo's mind perked up when he heard about Gu She, "So Gu She will help this time too?"

Master Jin said, "It's possible." He saw Tao Mo's expectant face and said, "But Gu She never goes to court, and even if she does help, it's only to give advice. Sun Nuo, would never have gone to the battle himself."

Tao Mo asked, "Does Master Jin know why he didn't go to the court?"

Master Jin didn't know why he changed the subject, but he still answered, "I don't know that."

Tao Mo wondered: could it be that Gu She has some unpleasant past?

Mu Chun could tell what he was thinking by the look on his face, but he didn't bother to correct him. I'm afraid Gu She is too proud to bow to the magistrate in court.
