Love is More than a Word, Chapter 59: Beware of visitors with gifts (5)...

Tao Mo returned to the county courthouse with a heavy heart.

Hao Guozi was swollen, his face smeared black and he wasn't in a good mood. He finished sharpening his ink and saw Tao Mo still holding his pencil for half a day, so he couldn't help but say, "Young Master is still thinking about that Yiyu?” He had been slapped in the face like this but he didn't expect Young Master to not only not stand up for him but also to keep thinking about the other party.

Tao Mo asked hesitantly, "What do you think, about Yiyu?"

Hao Guozi was stunned, then snickered, "How? What else can you do? Either he changed his ways to harm people, or he changed his ways to seduce people. If he really cared about Wan Feng, he should have cried when he heard the bad news. Did you see how sad he was? It's just plain ordinary! Now the cat is crying and the mouse is pretending to be merciful, isn't it just all fake?"

Tao Mo was silent. He felt that Yiyu's words on the bed were not false but perhaps he had seen his past glories and was moved by the sight.

"Young Master wouldn't have the heart to let go of him, would he?"


Tao Mo slowly shook his head and said, "Even a stranger would probably be moved by the sight of this, especially since I am the governor of this county."

"Are you compassionate?" Hao Guozi said, "Young Master, you're not worried that he'll seek death, are you? Don't worry, a man like him would dare to do anything but seek death, Young Master should worry less for him."

Tao Mo sighed.

Hao Guozi said, "Young Master has time to miss him, so why don't you think about how you're going to explain this to Young Master Gu when you go back later."

Tao Mo's hand with the pencil stiffened, the ink finally falling down the tip and dripping onto the paper. He watched the bit of ink slowly fizzle out and suddenly said, "I think we should move back to the magistrate's office."

Hao Guozi frowned, "Good grief, why would Young Master think to move out?"

Tao Mo said, "I feel bad for always bothering him." The matter of Yiyu was already none of Gu-She's business, so he shouldn't be brought into it. "Moreover, I'm a prefect of a county after all and it's not right to keep consigning myself to someone else's mansion."

"Young Master shed?" Hao Guozi connects with a single shot there.

Tao Mo is indeed reluctant. The thought of no longer being able to dine and play with Gu-She at the same table every night in the future made his heart feel like it was being pricked by a thousand little needles. The moment the corpse of the evening breeze appeared, he felt that the old things that had been bothering him were coming together again and if he stayed in the house any longer, he might get Gu-She involved.

Thinking of Huang Guangde's tactics, he squeezed his pencil and hesitated for a long while, setting it down hard and drawing a long horizontal line, "We move out."

No one was happier than Lao Tao when he heard That TaoMowas moving back to the magistrate's office.




He immediately said, "The roof has been repaired. I'll have it cleaned again right away."

Hao Guozi said, "Young Master's luggage is still at the Gu Residence, do you send someone to pick it up, or... "

Tao Mo said evenly, "I'll get it myself." He secretly envisioned Gu-She's reaction when he heard about it, perhaps he will be angry or indifferent, or perhaps attentive to stay?

He quickly banished the thought from his mind. It should be indifference, Gu-She seldom got angry over things. But why, in his heart of hearts, did he secretly hope that Gu-She was angry?

With this apprehension in mind, Tao Mo repeatedly rephrase himself the road. It's not easy to get to the Gu Residence but Gu-She is not there.

Tao Mo's apprehensive heart suddenly relaxed but in the next moment he was worried. Could it be that he was avoiding Yiyu because he had annoyed him by going to Yiyu today?

Hao Guozi saw Tao Mo standing in the doorway, his face changed and changed, like a walking lantern and spoke up, "Young Master. Or should we wait for Young Master Gu to return?"

"Wait for him to come back." Tao Mo replied without even thinking about it.

Hao Guozi thought the same, so he went inside and after a half day's walk, he found that Tao Mo not only didn't come in but instead sat down on the stone steps at the entrance and frantically turned back, "What's Young Master sitting here for?"

"Wait for him to come back," Tao Mo said matter-of-factly.

Hao Guozi said, "This, it's the same thing if you go inside and wait."

Tao Mo: "I want to wait here."

"......." He was originally worried if Tao Mo had left the Gu Residence because he was impressed by Yiyu but now it seemed that there was no need to worry at all. He sighed, following suit and sat down.

"You didn't have to wait here with me," Tao Mo.

Hao Guozi said, "You are the Young Master. where is the reason why the Young Master is waiting at the door and the servant goes to sit inside?"

Tao Mo sat alone and also felt a little lonely, so he acquiesced.

Hao Guozi sat down for a while, felt the cold air from the ground chilling the wind from below, plus the same thing in front of the Gu Residence, from time to time there is wind, feel even more cold and piercing, the original straight spine more and more bent, almost the whole person into a ball.

Tao Mo looked overwhelmed and said, "You go in first."

Hao Guozi rubbed his hands, "Isn't Young Master cold?"

Tao Mo shook his head, "It's not cold." He felt stiff already.

Hao Guozi reached out and touched his hand, startled by the cold, "Young Master had better go inside and wait."

Tao Mo shook s his head stubbornly.

Hao Guozi sighed and turned to go back to his room to get the fire stove.

Tao Mo punched his leg lightly.

Gu-She's carriage came slowly from a distance.

Tao Mo tried to get up immediately but his feet wouldn't listen and he tried twice to get up shakily.

When the carriage stopped in front of him, Gu Xiaojia saw him and, obviously still angry, snorted coldly, got out and opened the door.




Gu-She came down from the car with an unimpressed face, as if his presence or absence made no difference.

Tao Mo's body stiffened and smiled along with him, "Young Master Gu.”

Gu-She said, "Here to pack your bags?"

Although he was indeed here to pack his bags, hearing Gu-She's blunt eviction order like this made Tao Mo's heart shiver like ice water had been poured over him, so cold that he wanted to shiver.

Gu Xiaojia is so clever, seeing his pale face, he immediately guessed the reason, hehe smiled, "Your steward has said that the county yard has been repaired, could it be that you still want to continue to rely on me?"

Tao Mo was startled, "When did you see Lao Tao? Ah, hard to believe……" he reflected that Gu-She hadn't given the eviction order but had gone to the magistrate's office to hear Lao Tao say he'd come to pack his bags, hence the question. The color of his face gradually returned.

Gu Xiaojia didn't want his mockery to backfire on him and stared at him with resignation.

Tao Mo said to Gu-She, "I've dawdled these past few days, I...” he shuddered softly.

"Come in." Gu-She interrupted him and stalked inside.

Gu Xiaojia made a face at Tao Mo and immediately chased after him.

Tao Mo breathed a deep sigh of relief and subconsciously wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

There was a heater in the study and once inside, the frost on Tao Mo's body began to thaw slowly.

Gu Xiaojia saw that Gu-She didn't mean to get angry and went to make tea sensibly.

Tao Mo watched as Gu-She sat down on his own, surveying his face uneasily.

"What were you going to say?" Gu-She looked up.

Tao Mo saw that he was finally willing to look at him, relaxed a little and settled down, "I've been bothering you at the Gu Residence for so long, it's time to go back to the magistrate's office." He stole a glance at him.

Gu-She was undisputed.

"And Yiyu...” Tao Mo stopped, seemingly deliberating on what to say.

Gu-She wasn't in a hurry and let him think slowly.

"He, too, is a poor man," Tao Mo tried desperately to remember what he had thought to say in the carriage but couldn't remember anything at the moment, so he could only think as he said, "But what of the past, he lives in the Tangyang County in the end and I'm always responsible for him."

Gu-She raised an eyebrow, "Responsible?"

With just such a glance, Tao Mo actually strangely understood what he was saying and busily said, "The magistrate's responsibility is to everyone, Wan Feng's death is suspicious in every way and until the matter is investigated, I always have to look out for him a little more."

Gu-She said, "What does this have to do with leaving the Gu Residence?"

Tao Mo: "I know you don't like him."

Gu-She was silent.

Tao Mo whispered, "If I'm not here, he won't come."

"And who will I play chess with later?" Gu-She asked.




Tao Mo froze, his heart pounding wildly and his eyes looked at Gu-She, unblinking. He couldn't see himself, so he didn't know how bright his eyes were right now, that brightness enough to dispel all the gloom.

Gu-She met this light straight on, "Huh?"
