Love is More than a Word, Chapter 36: Tit for tat (9)...

Liang Wenwu is in a wheelchair and Qiu Wan'e is being led into the wedding hall by her mother.


The two old men, Liang and Qiu, were sitting in the hall one happy and the other pensive as water. However, they did not attract much attention against the bright red background of the wedding hall.

The bride and groom kneeled down to offer incense and bowed three times before rising to pay respects.

Old Master Qiu, who can only sit on a wheelchair, is obviously in love with the couple. Liang Wenwu sighed heavily. He is angry at Qiu Wan'e's design and deceit but not at the fact that it was his daughter who married him at the time. There was no other way but to accept his fate.

Old Master Liang, on the other hand, couldn't help laughing the more he watched.

The bride was quickly taken to her bridal chamber and Liang Wenwu, accompanied by the previous Liang Family youth, toasted the tables together.

He first toasted the main table and poured a full glass in front of Tao Mo, saying with sincere gratitude: "If it wasn't for Da-ren on that day, we would have been able to have a great time. The verdict in court woke me up and I wouldn't be here today. I will never forget this kindness." He said, "I will never forget this." He said, "I will never forget this." and drank it all down, then emptied his cup.

Tao Mo said a few words of congratulations and drank it all down.

"Yes!" The table roars.

Liang Wenwu smiles at him and moves on to the next person.

Tao Mo held a glass in one hand and a flask in the other and poured himself a drink.

Hao Guozi's eyes didn't stray for a moment, though he was sitting far away from the table, but he was shocked and sad when he saw him drinking.

Mu Chun gently tugged on his sleeve with his hand.

Hao Guozi came to his senses and blurted out, "What are you doing here?”

Yiyu said awkwardly: "I'm an old acquaintance of Liang Wenwu so I came to ask for a wedding drink."

"Your old acquaintance? Then I guess Liang Wenwu is no good either." Hao Guozi spat.

Yiyu saw that everyone at the table was listening and bowed his head and kept quiet.

Hao Guozi was about to catch up when he saw Mu Chun staring disapprovingly at him and started to speak up.

"What is it?" Mu Chun asked.

Hao Guozi stared at Yiyu with a puzzled look and whispered: "I was wondering why Young Master hasn't touched alcohol for so long. So there are evil spirits here!" He deliberately rephrased the word "evil", and it really caused a lot of confused looks.

Yiyu's head lowered even lower.

Hao Guozi turned to Mu Chun and said: "Please talk to the young Master to stop drinking."




Mu Chun was stunned "Why don't you?"

"Well" Hao Guozi hesitated before whispering "I'm not as good looking as you."

Mu Chun: "........"



Tao Mo was drinking heavily when he felt a hand reach out from the ramp and hold his glass down.

"That's enough, boss.” Mu Chun was reluctant to meddle in this nosy business, but first Lao Tao's earnest advice and then Hao Guozi's searing gaze. Forcing him to compel a perfunctory.

Tao Mo's cheeks were as red as rouge her eyes couldn't open wide only squinting at him "You are..."

"Mu Chun."

"Mu Chun?" Tao Mo hung his head.

Just as Mu Chun wondered if he was asleep he suddenly looked up "Never heard of it."

"...I'll walk you home." Mu Chun reached out to help him up.

Tao Mo suddenly jumped all over him.

Mu Chun frowned. The stench of alcohol made him want to throw the man out!

"Do you enjoy... spring?" Tao Mo murmured.

Mu Chun nodded at the other guests who had theatrical looks on their faces, "I'll take my Master home first."

Liang Lao stepped forward, "I think Tao Da-ren would be inconvenienced by this and would rather rest in my guest room for the night before leaving."

Mu Chun frowned at the thought of having to sit in a car full of alcoholic beverages and half-heartedly agreed.

Liang Wenwu saw his description of how hard it was to carry such a big man and asked two of his servants to help him.

But Tao Mo seemed to have a crush on Mu Chun, who wouldn't come down despite all the pulling and tugging.

Mu Chun was about to use his inner strength to shake him off when Hao Guozi said, "Let's just carry him away like this. If Master Mu feels heavy, we'll carry his leg."

........

Mu Chun imagines the image and says, with a slight drawl, "I can hold on without it." He said, not caring if it was horrifying or not, he simply picked up Tao Mo in his arms and followed Liang’s servant towards the guest room. Walking away.

Hao Guozi looked at his calm demeanor in awe and kept asking: "Is it alright? Is it too heavy? Do you need help...let's take a break...really don't need help...really don't..."

"Here we are!" Mu Chun interrupted him and quickly walked to the bed and threw the man onto it.

But Tao Mo didn't let go and grabbed him by the neck so tightly with both arms that his body was torn down with him after the throw.

Hao Guozi was dumbfounded. When Mu Chun got up in disgrace, he then pulled off the Liang Family members who had stayed behind to watch the show. Send them away.

"Get out." Mu Chun said.

Hao Guozi rubbed his hands. "Maybe you need help fetching water."

Mu Chun stares at him and slowly smiles.

Hao Guozi went out knowingly and closed the door on the way out.

"I never thought the last young lady would be... Mu Chun." he mumbled all the way out.

Mu Chun, who could hear him in the room, closed his eyes and reached out and quickly clicked his finger on Tao Mo's shoulder well. Twice. Tao Mo's arms sagged weakly as he stood up quickly and pushed open the window to take a deep breath.

"Mu Chun.” Tao Mo seemed to feel empty and his body squirmed.

Mu Chun thought he was awake and quickly gathered his face and was about to turn back when he asked: "Do you like spring a lot?"

"........"

"Mu Chun, Mu Chun... "Tao Mo's voice trailed off.

Mu Chun who was about to go out and lie in bed suddenly called out." Ah... I yearn for love!"

........

Walking towards the door he turned and headed straight for the bed...






Ever since Gu She canceled his scheduled sailing date, Gu Xiaojia has felt that something is different about him. For example, he seems to spend more time reading and staring at books than he used to. He used to spend more time reading and getting something out of books than he used to.

Gu Xiaojia thought about it and thought it had something to do with Tao Mo.

All these changes happened after Gu She returned from the magistrate's office. Could something have happened at the magistrate's office?

He thought about it and asked Gu She several times. Then he asked more questions and Gu She sent him to help in the kitchen.

.................................................

To think that he was a gentleman's body boy actually going to help in the kitchen...? Although he was helping with the food, this was already quite a heavy blow to him! So much so that he's been in poor spirits lately.

So when Mu Chun jumped off the roof with Tao Mo in his arms and disappeared into the crescent-shaped doorway, he had only one thing on his mind. Idea: Eye roll.



Gu Manor is a simple structure and it doesn't take Mu Chun a moment to find Gu She's bedroom.

He pushes the door open and enters.

There was a fragrance of orchids in the room.

Mu Chun put Tao Mo on the bed and tucked him in.

Tao Mo, who had been nodded off to sleep, was sleeping soundly with his mouth half open.

Mu Chun smiled and turned to go out.



The raft goes out to sea.

Gu She slowly sketches the sea with his brush.

His brushwork is always spontaneous, but his mind wanders with the brush. It doesn't matter whether it works or not. Everyone says that Gu Xianzhi is unique in painting and calligraphy, but there are more of his paintings that have failed than those that have been published.

As he painted, his brush suddenly stopped.

The sea, which had been calm in his mind before he started to paint, was now creating a stormy sea, with the wind and tide beating against the bewildered bamboo raft like a tiger.

Slowly he put down his pen and a touch of thought appeared on his calm face.

Did he not want to go out to sea?

His father's expectations of him had been so high since he was a child that they had been plucked out of the water, and when he realized his son's temperament was very different from that of his peers. It was too late for that. At that time, he was an isolated man who only wanted to be around painting and calligraphy. Later, Gu Huankun sent him to the world's most prestigious school, the Youlin Academy, where he was taught by the greatest scholars and literary figures in the world. A heart. After a long time in the academy, he grew to love solving puzzles. Whenever there was a problem, he was always willing to help, no matter how close or distant he was to the people, but he just liked solving puzzles.

He came to Tangyang Count because he admired the reputation of the town of lawsuits, but soon after he became a student of Mr. Yichui's, he began to learn more and more from him. I'm tired of it. A lawyer is just a man with a sharp tongue who tells the truth. That's why he's thinking about going to sea. It's a big deal. Everything from the ship, the route, the crew, and everything else must be taken care of. He never thought that after two years of preparation he would suddenly give up the idea.

He looked down at the painting.

The raft was floating in the sea, in danger of being destroyed.





His eyes sank and he threw the painting into a nearby fireplace and burned it.
