Love is More than a Word, Chapter 32: Tit-for-tat (5)...

"Well, well, if you're going to become a monk, then go become a monk! I, Qiu Family, will only treat you as my daughter!" Old Master Qiu started to get angry and said uncritically.


Old Master Liang said: "No, no, and no. We mustn't. The matter has yet to be discussed."

Qiu Wan'e: "I've made up my mind and only ask Da-ren's permission."

"Why do you need to do that? Just shave your head and go sit in a nunnery!"

"The Qiu Family Second Young Miss, you..."

"Nonsense!" Tao Mo's unbearable pounding of the gavel resonated in the hall!

The room was silent.

Master Jin was impressed. It was the first time Tao Mo had ever slapped a wood without warning. Then he was speechless at Tao Mo and at himself since when has a single tap on the wood of a throne ever impressed him.

Tao Mo looked to Liang Wenwu, "I ask you if you are willing to allow The Qiu Family Second Young Miss marry you or her become a monk?"

Liang Wenwu's eyebrows locked "With the Qiu Family Second Young Miss's..."

"Choose only one!" Tao Mo said "No other choice."

Liang Wenwu was dumbfounded and hesitated for a long time as if she had made up her mind "If she really doesn't mind my legs... I'll take her. A lifetime till we are whiteheads(old) and I will never fail her."

Qiu Wan'e has been very strong since the courtroom, even Old Master Qiu’s abuse did not make her waver at all now that she heard Liang Wenwu's words but suddenly her eyes reddened and a series of tears could not stop falling.

Tao Mo snapped and clapped the shock wood: "In that case I sentence you and The Qiu Family Second Young Miss gets married in three days! If there's any more delay, I'll give you 50 lashes!"

"This..." as soon as Sun Nuo was about to open his mouth, he heard Tao Mo's standoffishness "You guys will get the punishment if this is not accomplished!"

"What?" Lu Zhenxue looked at him incredulously.

Tao Mo ignored him and got up and said, "Leave the room."



Tao Mo left the room and rushed to the study, his heart still beating fast. He poured cold water into several cups to calm his boiling blood a bit. A moment of rebuke was a moment of impulse, but now that it had calmed down, he wondered what would happen.

It took a while for Master Jin and Mu Chun to enter.

As soon as they entered, Tao Mo grabbed them and asked: "So, so, so? How are their faces?"

Master Jin said, "Da-ren has ruled that they will be married in three days, so they have nothing to say."

Tao Mo felt relieved that he had done such a good job and was happy that he had gotten them married. Young Master Liang vs. The Qiu Family Second Young Miss is a happy couple, and it would be too much if they couldn't be married. Pity."

Master Jin hesitated: "It's just that three days is a bit too short."

Tao Mo was stunned. "Is it?" He hadn't gotten married yet, so he didn't know how long it would take to prepare for it.




Mu Chun laughed: "Da-ren has an ulterior motive."

Master Jin says, "Oh? I'd like to know more."

Mu Chun said: "Da-ren's decision is certainly in line with Liang Family's wishes. The Qiu Family Second Young Miss's wish will be granted. Old Master Qiu has a grudge. He can't overturn the case, he can't take it out on Liang Family, but he can take it out on... The Qiu Family Second Young Miss body. Three days, even if the Old Master Qiu has the intention to make things difficult. The Qiu Family Second Young Miss, I'm afraid it's not possible to do anything."

Master Jin was shocked and then thought that he would have thought of that too if he had been calmer, but he let Mu Chun get there first.

Tao Mo was confused when he heard Mu Chun's words. "Will the Qiu Family Second Young Miss be okay?"

Mu Chun said: "A tiger never eats its own children. I don't think that Old Master Qiu is going to embarrass her yet." [1] A parent will not harm his own child

Tao Mo is still a little uneasy that she might follow in the footsteps of Tong Yinghong said: "Should we watch out?"

Master Jin stayed "How does Da-ren want to watch... a little drama?"

"That is..." paused Tao Mo "How high are the Qiu Family walls?"

"... “ Master Jin looked at Mu Chun.

Mu Chun poured tea from a teapot.



Tao Mo didn't see it as the walls of the Qiu Family after all. As soon as he left the house, he was invited into the carriage by Gu Xiaojia, who was waiting at the door.

Gu She sits in the carriage and cooks the tea in a leisurely, slow manner.

Tao Mo spontaneously sat down in the corner and watched him quietly. When Tao Mo came out, he was still in a state of flux, but now he's calmed down as if he'd been in a state of shock. You can watch this forever.

Gu She finished making tea and poured a cup for him.

Tao Mo took it carefully and took a sip "It's bitter."

Gu She said quietly: "It's bitter tea."

Tao Mo took another sip "But it's a little sweet when you taste it."

Gu She glances at the paper bag on the table and smiles as if to say: "Because there's no yellow thorn in it."

"Why would you put in the yellow thorn?" Tao Mo is puzzled.

Gu She says: "Because I'm happy."

Tao Mo: "And did you leave it out because you weren't happy?"

Gu She looks at him askance. "You think I'm unhappy?"

Tao Mo looks at the look between his eyes and says ruefully, "I don't see it."

Gu She says: "You look happy."

Tao Mo was stunned and then smiled. "You can tell?"

"I can see it."

Tao Mo then recounted the events of today's meeting from the beginning. He wanted to please Gu She, so he deliberately added to the boring story and ended it with a long-winded ramble.

Gu She just listened and didn't say anything.

Tao Mo then remembered that Sun Nuo, his fellow Master Jin, had said that if Sun Nuo became a litigator, he would be able to get a job as a lawyer. Gu She will help. -Not this time too? He probed: "I got the letter you sent."

Gu She said: "Oh?"

"I don't know the words but fortunately Mu Chun does. He said it was a speedy trial." Tao Mo.

Gu She: "It was indeed a speedy trial."

Tao Mo: "I did what you told me to do."

Gu She's half-lidded eyes opened slowly and turned to look at him.

Tao Mo's heart was pounding. It was the first time he felt his own reflection in those pupils instead of just a fleeting shadow floating on the surface.

"Very good." Gu She said.

The carriage stopped abruptly.

Tao Mo's body lurched forward and Gu She remained unfazed.




"I..." Tao Mo felt the atmosphere was odd.

Gu She said: "Here we are."

Tao Mo was stunned. Gu Xiaojia opened the door from the outside.

Tao Mo looked at Gu She again.

Gu She ignored him.

Tao Mo reluctantly got out of the carriage and froze, "What is this..."

Gu Xiaojia said: "Isn't this Tao Da-ren's county office?"

Tao Mo said: "Yes but..."

Gu Xiaojia said: "In that case we take our leave." He just jumped into the carriage and drove away without looking back.

Tao Mo watched as the carriage passed away, and for some reason his heart felt a little empty, and he couldn't even walk.

Hao Guozi saw that he was in a trance and asked worriedly: "Is the young Master tired of trying cases?"

Tao Mo shook his head.

"Then what's wrong?" Hao Guozi asked nervously.

Tao Mo was still shaking his head.

"Why are you so listless?" Hao Guozi was puzzled, "I heard the young Master did very well in this case."

Tao Mo said seriously: "Really?"

Hao Guozi immediately said, "Of course, everyone gave it a thumbs up."

Tao Mo: "But why do I get the feeling... that Gu She isn't too happy?"

"Gu She?" muttered Hao Guozi with a frown of disapproval. "When is he ever happy?"

Tao Mo glared at him.

Hao Guozi flattened his mouth "Maybe if you ask the Master, they'll know."

”Master?" Tao Mo's eyes lit up.



Master Jin went home early today and shifted all the chores to Mu Chun.

Tao Mo found Mu Chun standing by the window as a pigeon flew away.

”Master Jin." He shouted hesitantly from outside the door.

Mu Chun turned back and smiled: "Come in, Master.”

Tao Mo swallowed back his words as he watched the business that had been building up on his case.

Mu Chun smiled and said, "What do you want, sir?"

Tao Mo stammered: "Nothing much."

"About Gu She?" Mu Chun hit the nail on the head.

Tao Mo looked at him in surprise.

Mu Chun said: "You wouldn't hesitate if it was business. If it's personal... I can't think of much."




Tao Mo's face turned red.
