Love is More than a Word, Chapter 60: Beware of visitors with gifts (6)...

Tao Mo got out, "Me!" After saying it, the heart that was already beating wildly calmed down by chance, like the calm before a storm, with anxiety and anxiety.

Gu-She raised an eyebrow, "You will come every day?"

Storm, heartbeat wild as a storm. Tao Mo couldn't hide the joy on his face and nodded vigorously, "Come, be sure to come, be on time."

Gu-She lowered his eyes.

Tao Mo watched him timidly, just in case the moment's glee was a mirror image.

A short while later, Gu-She said, "I'll send someone to take you back."

Although Tao Mo had a carriage, at this point he didn't want to excuse Gu-She's kindness at all. "Me, I'll come tomorrow then?"

Gu-She said, "You promise, aren't you?"


"Promise... promise... promise." Tao Mo felt as if he were floating in a cloud, going up and down without straining, afraid of falling and waking up a beautiful dream. He stared at Gu-She and grinned outright, not even noticing Gu Xiaojia coming in.

Gu Xiaojia felt numb from looking at his silly face.

How could this man have such a relationship with the Young Master?

Ever since yesterday's baffling Q&A with Gu-She, his mind had been spinning with horrible thoughts from time to time.

"Drink tea." He placed his cup on the farther side of the coffee table, trying to use it to distance Gu-She from Tao Mo.

Tao Mo's heart blossomed and he didn't mind, shaking his head, "I'm not thirsty."

Gu Xiaojia placed the tea on the desk and kept looking back and forth between Gu-She and Tao Mo. Was he late to the party and missed something? Why is the atmosphere so different from before?




Gu-She said, "I thought you were packing?"

Gu Xiaojia was stunned, "Luggage?" He turned to look at Tao Mo.

Tao Mo replied, "Ah, I don't have much luggage, there's no rush."

Gu Xiaojia raised his voice, "You're moving away?"

Tao Mo scratched his head, "I've been away from the magistrate for so long..."

"Why didn't you say so?" Gu Xiaojia immediately put on a new face and smiled, "Is there anything I can help you with? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

Tao Mo waved it off, "Okay."

Gu Xiaojia blushed with joy, his eyes glowed and he almost just plastered the word happy on his left and right cheeks, "Come back often when you have time. But Master Tao has a lot on his plate, so he might not be that free."

"Ah, no. Don't worry, I'll be back every day." Tao Mo repeatedly assured.

Gu Xiaojia's smile froze, "Back? Every day?"

Tao Mo kept nodding his head, "I'll be back for chess."

"Back and forth like this..."

"The county courthouse is not far from the Gu Residence."

"But the magistrate's office is full of business..."

"There's not much I can do to help."

“......” Gu Xiaojia was out for murder and his poisoned mouth flowed, "Doesn't Master Tao still have to take care of Young Master Yiyu?" Although he hates Yiyu, Gu Xiaojia is glad to have one at this point! Zachary's character exists.

Tao Mo said, "We are from the same hometown, so if he is in trouble, he will help in any way he can. But Tangyang County is very peaceful, so nothing serious will happen."

Gu Xiaojia looked pitiful.

Gu-She finally said, "I heard the kitchen was leaking."

Gu Xiaojia's back was cold.

Gu-She said, "You're going to keep watch in it tonight."

Woe betides him. Why can't he keep his mouth shut?

Gu Xiaojia regretted it.

Tao Mo went back to the magistrate.

Lao Tao greeted him at the door, saw him get out of the Gu Residence's carriage, froze slightly, and said, "Where's Hao Guozi?"

Tao Mo: "Coming."

Sure enough, Hao Guozi soon appeared at the end of the alley in his carriage.




Lao Tao frowned slightly, "Could it be that Young Master has a lot of luggage?" He doesn't think so. When they left their hometown, they had only one carriage with their luggage but now they have two carriages just to stay at the Gu Residence.

Tao Mo didn't know how to explain it and nodded, "Young Master Gu’s kind words."

Lao Tao, looking at his face, has a vague idea of the cause and effect but the more he feels that he can't read Gu-She's mind. He has read countless people but he is only hesitant about Gu-She, who is a paradox.

Gu-She was special to Tao Mo. He would never have come to the inn in the middle of the night without being special. But what kind of special is this special? Is it curiosity? Is it confusing? Or is it a man-woman special kind of thing?

Lao Tao shuddered violently at the thought.

Gu-She doesn't think so, does he?

Tao Mo saw Lao Tao standing in the doorway looking instantly changed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lao Tao coughed and shook his head, "Nothing. Let's go in first." Regardless of what Gu-She actually intended, a slap on the wrist wouldn't do; he would just keep an eye on Tao Mo.

The news of Tao Mo's move back to the county government office soon spread to Yiyu and Peng Xiang stopped looking for him at the Gu Residence and came to the county government office, saying that Yiyu's condition has worsened and that his mood has not improved.

Tao Mo had wanted to go see him but his heart was not in it.

Firstly, there is another case in the magistracy where a lawsuit is filed against a man’s wife for adultery with a butcher. The magistrate, who is very skillful with his words and well versed in the procedures of the magistrate's office, comes here every day, causing a lot of disturbance in the magistrate's office.

He kept his promise to go to the Gu Residence every night to play chess but whether it's on purpose or not, the game is never finished until midnight so they postpone it till next day. After a busy day, Master Advisor Jin and Cui Jiong finally find out that the adultery between the wife of the accuser and the butcher is a false story. Tao Mo was relieved, thinking of Yiyu who was lying ill at home, and he asked Hao Guozi to prepare a small gift to visit.

When he entered Yiyu's courtyard, he smelled a rushing smell of medicine.

Hao Guozi trailed off, "At every turn."

Tao Mo was appalled, "Is that how you use it at every turn?"

Hao Guozi said, "Other people use that word and maybe even distinguish what the environment is but Yiyu? tsk tsk."

Peng Xiang, who was leading the way, just listened without saying a word and brought the two into the house straight away, pointing towards the bed: "If is it just an act, why do you need to see for yourself?"

Tao Mo slowly approached to see what Yiyu looked like at this point before he was taken aback and stammered, "You, how did you end up like this?"

Yiyu was already skinny and now his cheeks are so thin that they're hollowed out and his arms are exposed to the blanket like firewood.

Peng Xiang spoke in cryptic tones, "Since the last time Master Tao left, Young Master hasn't eaten much and when he came to see the doctor, he said that it's depression attacking the heart, heart depression disease but even after prescribing several prescriptions, it didn't get better. The doctor said that if it continues like this, I'm afraid we'll just have to prepare for the funeral."

"Seriously?" Hao Guozi muttered but when he saw Yiyu looking like this, he was a little more convinced.

Yiyu's originally fair face was black and yellow, as if death had enveloped it and was extremely weak.

Tao Mo sighed, "Why did you become like this?"

Yiyu laughed bitterly, "How does one become like this? It's not easy for me to come out but I might as well not come out. If I hadn't come out, I would still be missing something in my heart..."

His gaze burned but unlike Gu-She's frank attention, it was a deep gaze. Tao Mo dropped his eyes, not daring to look directly.

Yiyu said, "Do you remember the first time we met?"

Tao Mo: "I remember. That was the first time I went back to Qunxiang House and you were wearing an emerald green sari, lined with white brocade, with a jasper hairpin with a pearl on it."

Yiyu listened quietly and suddenly smiled dewy-eyed, "It's good that you still remember." Although his face was yellow, his features remained unchanged, so when he smiled, he could still see the shadow of the upside-down beings in the Qunxiang House. "I don't remember." He said softly, "My memory of you started when you secretly slipped a silver tael into my hand."

Tao Mo blushes, "I, I just didn't want the Zhang Bao to withhold your money."




Yiyu said, "Unfortunately, it was still discovered by Zhang Bao. You didn't know that when you left, he came straight to me." What he didn't say was that after Zhang Bao found him, he threw the twenty taels of silver directly in Zhang Bao's face. Twenty taels were like a joke to him at that time.

Tao Mo asked, "Ah, well, did he take it then?"

Yiyu blinked, "Of course not. I told you he was mistaken."

Tao Mo chuckled lightly.

Yiyu's heart was suddenly screwed.

If only, if only the twenty taels were still there.
