Love is More than a Word, Chapter 33: Tit-for-tat (6)...

Mu Chun closes the window and asks casually, "I heard Gu She's carriage came by."


Tao Mo didn't care why he was so well-informed and nodded his head hastily.

Mu Chun said: "But what did Gu She say that displeased the young master?"

Tao Mo quickly shook his head and sighed: "He didn't say anything and... and he said something but I couldn't understand it.”

Mu Chun said, "How can I guess if I don't even know the owner?"

Tao Mo said bluntly: "I think you're smarter than me and might have figured it out." He paused and said, "Why don't I tell you all about our conversation."

Mu Chun made a gesture of invitation.

Tao Mo goes through it.

He had a good memory and was so attentive to Gu She that he was able to describe the conversation in detail, even Gu She's state of mind.

Mu Chun was surprised and listened with a smile.

At the end, Tao Mo put on all sorts of expressions and said depressingly: "I don't know what he meant when the carriage came back to the magistrate's office after just one lap. Did I offend him with my words and didn't realize it?"

Mu Chun said: "If you want to put it that way, you can."

Tao Mo saw that he knew, and asked, wide-eyed, "Wrong about what?"

"Do you remember the relationship between Sun Nuo and Gu She?"

Tao Mo nodded and said: "From the same family. Ah, you mean because of Sun Nuo?"

Mu Chun said: "The purpose of the Liang Family's court case was to make sure that... Young Master Liang vs. The Qiu Family Second Young Miss end up in marriage. Now that His Excellency has given them what they want, it means that their lawyer Lu Zhenxue has won a small victory on their behalf. Qiu Family's Sun Nuo has not lost a the case. Lu Zhenxue studied under Lin Zhengyong and Sun Nuo. Gu She's mentor, Mr. Yichui, is a long-time enemy. He beat Sun Nuo and won the case. What about Gu She? Would he be happy?"

Tao Mo listened in stunned silence for a long while before saying, "That the Qiu Family Second Young Miss with... Young Master Liang is obviously a lover. I just want them to get married. What's wrong with that?"

"There's nothing wrong." Mu Chun said, "But it's not what you want."

Tao Mo looked confused. "Then what was the meaning of the speedy trial he gave me?"

Mu Chun says: "At the beginning of the trial, the Qiu Family Second Young Miss and Young Master Liang’s entanglement has not yet surfaced and Sun Nuo has the upper hand. Under these circumstances, Gu She naturally hopes that you will make it quick and follow Gu Xiaojia's advice to wait until both parties are due to get married separately. The two lovers are irrelevant."

Tao Mo wondered: "And how did he know that back there would be..."

Mu Chun smiled but didn't say anything.

Tao Mo suddenly realized: "He knew the Qiu Family Second Young Miss. Young Master Liang and Young Master Liang are lovers and know that they are in contact. Was is through the Qiu Family Second Young Miss? If I do what he says and sentence them to marry each other, I'll be breaking up a couple of lovers and maybe even creating two more. This is sinister? How could he...how could he?!"




Mu Chun saw his devastated face and was about to say something when Tao Mo turned around and ran out of the room.



Tao Mo flew out of the magistrate's office and ran all the way to the door of Gu Manor before stopping.

When he came out, he was so angry that he just wanted to find Gu She to confront him, but now he is standing in front of the door of Gu Manor and he is hesitating.

It took him about an incense stick of time to go back and forth and he finally stomped his foot and knocked on the door.

The door quickly opened and the concierge realized that he did not want to pay respects to the invitation immediately to inform Gu Xiaojia.

Gu Xiaojia did not expect to kneel and bow in the public hall and still lost a belly stuffed with anger heard that Tao Mo door stood up without reporting to Gu She, three steps at the same time two steps toward the door.

Tao Mo has calmed down and wants to ask Gu She a good question. In his mind, Gu She was cold but very principled, not someone who would do anything to win. That's why he was slightly startled when he saw Gu Xiaojia approaching menacingly." You...."

"What are you doing here?" Gu Xiaojia's voice was even higher than his.

"I..."

"I don't want to see you right now!"

"You..."

"Nothing you say will help!"

"I..."

"I don't want to hear it!"

Tao Mo had to be silent.

But his silence annoyed Gu Xiaojia even more. "What are you doing standing in front of the door?"

Tao Mo looked at him.

Gu Xiaojia was stunned and his anger faded. "Don't think that my Master will forgive you if you lower yourself."

Tao Mo's anger, which had subsided, was stirred up again by his words, and he whispered: "I'm not even here to see your Master."

"My Master is not here.



Tao Mo was stunned. "Where did he go?"

Gu Xiaojia snapped, “Not your business."

Tao Mo knew he was annoyed but had no choice but to say, "I have something I want to ask him and then I'll leave."

"Ask my Master?" Gu Xiaojia looked at him askance, "If I remember correctly, Tao Da-ren has two Master s, one gold and one wood, at his side, right? What else do you need to ask my son? I'm afraid my son's name is neither fire nor water nor earth, and I'm afraid he doesn't have all of Tao Da-ren's five elements, so I'm afraid he's not worthy of your inquiry." This is a mock because Master Jin as in Jin means Gold and Master Mu as in Mu means wood.

Tao Mo took two steps backwards as he expelled the spittle from his face.

"Good riddance!" Gu Xiaojia slammed the door with a bang!

Tao Mo's hair flew back as the wind blew out of the door, and he realized for a moment that he had closed the door on himself, but he was depressed and panicked at the same time.

Is this Gu She's attitude? Had he made up his mind to go back to his old ways from now on?

He walked down the road in a daze.

The noises of the city were not his. The shouting and laughter flowed away from him like water.

Thinking of all the times I've known Gu She, my heart aches and I'm confused.




Is Gu She really ready to break up with him and never see him again? He stood in the street for a while, holding his chest, as a familiar stabbing pain came over his heart.

People saw his pained face and made way for him.

"Huh!" A man shouted, not too loud but it sounded like a blow to Tao Mo's ears. He turned around and saw a figure fleeing in a hurry.

"Peng Xiang?" mumbled Tao Mo in hindsight and chased after him, but the figure had already disappeared into the crowd. .

He searched the streets for nearly half an hour before returning to the magistrate's court in a panic.

Hao Guozi was waiting at the door, and when he entered, he pulled him aside and said, "Where have you been, young Master?"

Tao Mo was distracted and casually said: "I was walking around."

"Gu She's been here for almost half an hour." Hao Guozi said in a low voice.

Tao Mo was stunned for a while before saying: "Who?"

"Gu She." Hao Guozi looked at him worriedly. Although he didn't like Gu She, he was shocked to see his young Master forgetting all about the person he loved in the blink of an eye.

Tao Mo widened his eyes and said: "How did he get here?"

Hao Guozi said: "In a carriage. What happened?"

"Oh no." Tao Mo said and rushed inside the house, but he would turn to Hao Guozi and fix his sideburns and collar."

The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the newest addition to your own website. Gu She is not a nice person, young Master, be careful."

Tao Mo calmed down and nodded gravely and slowly went inside.

But Gu She wasn't in the hall and Tao Mo searched around before finding him in the study.

"Tao Mo was standing in the doorway when he started to ask Gu She's eyes, which were as deep as the night sky, looked at him steadily and his voice trailed off. Weak down "how did you come here?"

Gu She put her book down on the table and said, "Didn't you come to see me?"

Tao Mo said numbly: "Yes, but you didn't want to see me?"

Gu She's eyes fell.

Tao Mo's heart fell as he feared he had offended him again.

But Gu She didn't brush off her sleeves as he thought, but said slowly: "It's cold outside, come in."

Tao Mo stepped into the threshold with a promise and then remembered that he was the Master of the study and looked at Gu She, who was occupying his desk in a dignified manner, and had a subtle feeling in his heart.

Gu She said: "What do you want?”

Tao Mo all the way back to the heart of the anger and impulsiveness burned to a crisp. I knew the Qiu Family Second Young Miss was in love. Young Master Liang?"

"Not early." Gu She didn't hide anything "Just before your case."

Tao Mo was confused at his innocent look. "You really knew."

Gu She said: "So what?"

"If you knew they were in love, why did you let Gu Xiaojia go to court to instigate Old Master Qiu and Old Master Liang delayed the engagement until it expired?" Tao Mo stared at him unblinkingly.

Gu She said: "If not Sun Nuo doesn't have a 10% chance of winning the lawsuit."

Tao Mo was dumbfounded for a long moment before he said, "Win the case?"

Gu She says: "Sun Nuo is a litigator."

"I know. But you..."

"I belong to the same family as him."

"But Young Master Liang and the Qiu Family Second Young Miss are obviously in love with each other, so they..."

Gu She stood up and stared at him and said in an indifferent tone: "What does it matter to me?"
