Love is More than a Word, Chapter 29: Tit-for-tat (2)...

The Liang Family has moved out of Tangyang County, so Lu Zhenxue petitioned for an early court session.


Tao Mo is very excited about this. This is the only case of its kind these days, so the court has been raised after only two days.

The Qiu Family and Liang Family were standing at the bottom of the courtroom. After some introductory remarks about who is standing in the courtroom, the case came to ahead.

The first thing Lu Zhenxue did was to describe the love between the Qiu and Liang family in a sensational way, which made the people drunk with fascination. He talked about the Qiu Family's ungratefulness and the two marriages of their daughters, which made the crowd excited. The most exciting one is Old Master Qiu, who was squashed by Lu Zhenxue when he tried to open his mouth several times. In the end, he looked at Sun Nuo with resentment.

But Sun Nuo was calm and collected.

Lu Zhenxue finished his speech and stepped aside to wait for Tao Mo to speak.

From the intensity to the silence, there was a lull in the hall.

Everyone was staring at Tao Mo.

Master Jin coughed when Tao Mo didn't move for a long time.

Tao Mo then turned to look at Lu Zhenxue, who still looked a little startled. Young Master Lu also has such a... emotional side."

Lu Zhenxue couldn't figure out what he meant by this, thinking it was an underhanded attempt to undermine himself without frowning in his mind about the last time at the banquet again The first thing you need to do is to get rid of the rashness. But this is not the time or place for introspection, he quickly continued: "It's not that I'm excited but that the Qiu Family has a very strong sense of what's right. What the Liang Family did was outrageous!"

Old Master Qiu was so angry that his beard almost stood on end. It's obvious that he married another girl because the palanquin had been waiting for him for a long time, so how can he say that he has betrayed his own trust?

"That's not true, Brother Lu." Sun Nuo came out slowly.

Lu Zhenxue smiled "Brother Sun doesn't think the word "promise" is worth mentioning?"

Sun Nuo said, "Brother Lu is wrong. My opinion is exactly the same as yours, but I think that promises are the foundation of a person's life."

Lu Zhenxue said: "Brother Sun is going to use the money from the Qiu Family to replace the Liang Family. What's wrong with fighting for justice?"

Sun Nuo said, "Brother Lu is wrong again. I am here to fight for injustice, but not for the Liang Family, but for the Qiu Family," he said. I don't care if Lu Zhenxue takes it again and turns to Tao Mo and arches his hand "Da-ren, I ask about the so-called promise-keeping. Is it mutual?"

Tao Mo said, "Naturally, it's a mutual matter."

"Then I would like to ask Old Master Leung, why did the Qiu and Liang family agree to marry within two years? Now the two-year period is approaching but Liang Family's palanquin is still missing." Sun Nuo swept away the previous leisurely and sharp eyes.

Lu Zhenxue raised his arm to stop Old Master Liang, who was trying to step forward and said, "The two-year period is coming. If it's the right time, it's not the right time yet. If it's not the right time yet, how do we know if Liang Family's palanquin is coming or not?"




Sun Nuo said, "How can we be so rash in a marriage? There is less than half a month left before the promised date, and Liang Family has not yet accepted the invitation to marry Qiu Family. How can you be trusted to keep your promise? Does Liang Family really think they can just pick any day to deliver the sedan chair to Qiu Family's door? Will the Qiu Family Second Young Miss be good enough to get into the sedan chair?"

Old Master Liang’s face was dark and he was speechless.

Lu Zhenxue said: "Even though there are only half a month left, the promised time is not yet up! Why so impatient? Is there any reason why you have to be so impatient?"

Old Master Qiu’s face turned pale. His words hinted at the innocent reputation of Miss Qiu Family!

Sun Nuo said coldly, "Brother Lu, I call you "Brother Lu" because I think you are a noble person of high moral character. When the mouth is full of words!"

Lu Zhenxue didn't change his face: "How else can you explain why Old Master Qiu knew there was still half a month to go? I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'd rather break my promise than do this."

Sun Nuo said, "Brother Lu claims to have one daughter and two marriages. The Qiu Family Second Young Miss is promised to Old Master Tong. What?"

Lu Zhenxue suddenly smiled wickedly "Naturally, I heard it from Brother Sun."

Sun Nuo regained his senses and his face suddenly changed.

"If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known that Old Master Qiu is trying to put the Qiu Family Second Young Miss is married to Old Master Tong...” Lu Zhenxue's face was now smug and sure of his success.

Sun Nuo didn't answer right away as he no longer looked annoyed at what he had just said but was thinking about how to redeem himself.

Lu Zhenxue pressed on and said: "I don't know what Old Master Tong is talking about. What's in it for the Qiu Family?"

Sun Nuo's mouth moved as he was about to open his mouth when he heard a shout from outside the hall, "Da-ren, I have a way to settle this case peacefully.”

Tao Mo thought the voice sounded familiar, but when he looked, who was it? I saw him kneeling upright outside the courtroom with his eyes dripping down at him.

Master Jin said, "How can you make a ruckus in the court hall? Someone..."

"Wait." Tao Mo was busy stopping him.

Master Jin frowned and lowered his voice, "Da-ren, the yelling court deserves ten boards."

Tao Mo then whispered, "But he says there's a way to settle the case peacefully."

Master Jin's face turned pale. "You're the magistrate, how can you listen to a common boy?"

Tao Mo hesitated.

Mu Chun smiled and said, "I'm afraid the common  is just a messenger."

Tao Mo's eyes lit up. I'm not sure if it's the same for you, but I'm not sure if it's the same for me.

Master Jin said, "If it's Gu She, it's even worse! Gu She and Sun Nuo are the same disciples, Da-ren listens to his method, he will inevitably be accused of harboring suspicions."

Tao Mo said, “Master Shifu is wrong. If this method can really solve this matter, it is a good method no matter who it comes from. If it's a good idea, who's going to talk about it?"


Master Jin's anger at Tao Mo's refusal to listen to his advice and Mu Chun's attitude of letting it go were all the greater for it.

Tao Mo said to Gu Xiaojia: "You come forward."

Gu Xiaojia slowly and leisurely stood up and walked over to Lu Zhenxue and kneeled down again with ease and said: "Da-. Since Liang Family cares about this half-moon period and the Lu Family cares about the Is Liang Family going to down hire that Da-ren why not just wait another half month?"




Old Master Liang turned pale and said: "No!"

Lu Zhenxue's brows furrowed.

Tao Mo asked: "Why not?"

Old Master Liang said: "Now that Qiu Family and I have torn each other to shreds, I'm afraid that he will be with a grudge for intentionally delaying the half-month period."

Tao Mo nodded his head: "That makes sense."

Sun Nuo came in from Gu Xiaojia and the glow returned to his face:" Old Master Liang, that's a good point. Two years of procrastination and you still don't come to the door, and now you're telling the Qiu Family not to agree on a wedding date in half a month? Even if it is delaying what is the reason for this?"

Old Master Liang looked at Tao Mo with a black face and didn't say anything but said, "Please Da-ren make a decision.”

Tao Mo pondered.

Everyone in the hall was looking at him one by one.

It's not that hard to deal with Master Jin has at least two or three ideas in his head, but he doesn't dare say a single one. ...Tao Mo seemed to him to be so inscrutable and unpredictable that he seemed to be a very simple person, but after getting along with him, he got to know the details. He often broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about it. So he wasn't sure if Tao Mo's chanting was an act or not.

"Or else." Tao Mo finally said, "I give the Liang Family half a month to discuss their marriage. Qiu Family must not be embarrassed about the wedding date, but there is no need to rush."

Old Master Qiu suddenly said, "What if the Liang Family doesn't show up in half a month?"

Tao Mo said, "Then the marriage contract is null and void!" He was about to say "withdraw" when Old Master Liang shouted "Da-ren!" again.

Old Master Qiu thought of the bride's price to fly in the hands of the Tong family with great hatred and coldly grunted: " Old Master Liang what else?"

Old Master Liang said: "Da-ren, shall not be embarrassed by the word embarrassment is too easy to cause ambiguity as well as to please Da-ren is the Master of the Qiu Family Second Young Miss and my son. The day we get married."

Tao Mo was stunned.

The others, except for Liang Family, were also stunned.

Mu Chun and Lu Zhenxue both had thoughtful looks.
