Love is More than a Word, Chapter 68: New enemy, Old Regret (5)...

Gu-She was Mr. Yichui's disciple and there was once a disagreement between him and Lin Zhengyong so even though he is willing to recommend Lin Zhengyong, there is no reason for Lao Tao and the others to oppose.

Tao Mo, seeing that his illness had delayed the trip, sat up immediately and gasped, “Let's go back to Tangyang."

Lao Tao frowned, “If you want to go back you'll have to wait until your fever breaks.”

Tao Mo puffed himself up, “I'm not feeling anything serious.”

Gu-She: “First drink the medicine.”

Tao Mo wanted to say something else but when he saw that everyone in the room had a look of disapproval on their faces, he had to hold it down.

It takes work to decoct medicine.


Tao Mo laid back dow and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it's been.

He was pushed awake in a daze and Lao Tao sat on the side of his bed, half hugging him. Hao Guozi gave him a few blows with the spoon, then slowly passed it to him.

Tao Mo looked around with his eyes as he drank the medicine but was disappointed to see no Gu-She.

Lao Tao said, “Gu-She has gone back first.”

“... Really?” Tao Mo lowered her eyes and took a small sip of her medicine.

When the bowl of medicine is empty, Lao Tao tells him to lie down again.

Tao Mo was puzzled, “Didn't they say to drink the medicine and we can go back?”

Lao Tao said, “With Gu-She going as a lobbyist and take of things in the side, what are you worried about?”

Tao Mo was appalled, “You mean Gu-She will go back to ask the litigation master first?”

Lao Tao said, “He didn't say but he should have this in mind.” As much as he didn't like the idea of Tao Mo and Gu-She being together, he wasn't willing to lie about such a trivial matter to hold Gu-She back.

Tao Mo felt the medicine in his mouth wasn't so bitter anymore and the corners of his mouth lifted up in a smile.

Lao Tao said, “Rest well and if your fever subsides tomorrow, then we will go back.”

Tao Mo closed his eyes and was about to sleep when he suddenly remembered something and opened his eyes and said, “What if that assassin attacks Gu-She on the way, what then?”

Lao Tao said, “Don't worry. I've sent people to protect him along the way.”

Even if you don't send anyone along the way to protect him, Huang Guangde wouldn't dare to hurt Gu-She, would he? Thoughts aside, Lao Tao still didn't say anything. There is a mystery about Gu-She, how could he, the famous Young Master of the Prime Minister's family, end up in a small place like Tangyang County?

If this is the case, Minister Xiang will not remain silent and Imperial Tutor Shi, who has always been at odds with Minister Xiang, will not play deaf and dumb on the situation. If he hasn't heard anything about it, it means there is another reason. As for the reason... If Gu-She wasn't so close to Tao Mo, Lao Tao wouldn't be interested in finding out. But now, it seems he has to look into it.

Lao Tao doesn't want Tao Mo to end up with a wolf in the front and a tiger in the back.

Tao Mo moved slightly on the bed, the corners of his mouth turned upward and then he rolled over and fell deeper into sleep, thinking of something good.




That doctor's prescription worked.

By the next day, Tao Mo's face and body were no longer as hot as they were yesterday.

Lao Tao originally wanted to let him stay for a couple of days for observation but Tao Mo insisted on returning to Tangyang that day.

Since Gu Xiaojia rented the carriage when she came back to Tangyang, Gu-She still rented the carriage when she returned to the neighboring county.

Although Hao Guozi and Gu Xiaojia used to dislike each other and he was quite critical of Gu-She's indifference, he now had to admit: “Gu-She is really nice, knowing that the Young Master was sick and he even reserved the carriage for his horse.”

Lao Tao frowned slightly.

Tao Mo was devoted to Gu-She and Hao Guozi's words are tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

Unexpectedly, Master Jin echoed the sentiment and said, “Judging from Gu-She's usual personality, I never thought he would have such an old-fashioned, warm-hearted and caring side.”

Tao Mo didn't say anything but Lao Tao could tell by his face that this was exactly what he wanted to hear and it made him so happy.

Hao Guozi was sent by Lao Tao to catch the carriage.

In the absence of Gu Xiaojia and Sang Xiaotu, he was the only one to catch the carriage.

Lao Tao and Master Jin entered the carriage compartment together.

Master Jin was surprised to see that Tao Mo would rather sit on the hard board than sit on the cushion where Gu-She was sitting. Since Young Master Gu is not here, you can sit on his throne, no harm done.”

Tao Mo face turned pale and he shook his head, “I can survive this.”

Master Jin didn't know what he was insisting on but when he said that, he had to let him go.

It's a long way to go.

Master Jin and Lao Tao chatted with each other.

As Tao Mo listened, he got sleepy again.

When Master Jin and Lao Tao saw him sleeping, they shut up and rested separately.

Seeing Tangyang County getting closer and closer, Lao Tao was shocked when he saw Tao Mo's cheeks reddened again, so he got up to touch his forehead, which was even hotter than yesterday.

Master Jin was in a hurry, “Must be tired of the carriage.”

Lao Tao simply picked him up, put him in Gu-She's place and covered him with Gu-She's usual fox skin.

Tao Mo sleeps in a daze, letting him do whatever he wants.

Master Jin lifted the curtain and looked out, saying, “It's not far.”

It's not far but it's still almost half an hour's walk.

The horse-carriage entered Tangyang and headed straight for the magistrate's office.

By the time Lao Tao sent someone to remove Tao Mo from the carriage, Tao Mo was already a little confused.

Lao Tao didn't dare to be lazy, he sent someone to call a doctor and had the medicine made yesterday.

Hao Guozi wanted to help out but Master Jin sent him to return the carriage and asked him to ask about Gu-She's progress. Although he was reluctant to do so, he knew that Tao Mo had been thinking about it for a long time and if he woke up, he would definitely ask about it, so he put his worries aside and drove the carriage to the Gu Residence.

At the Gu Residence, both Gu-She and Gu Xiaojia were not there, saying they had gone to Mr. Yichui's house and had not returned, leaving only Sang Xiaotu to look after the house.




As soon as he heard that Gu-She went to Mr. Yichui's house instead of Lin Zhengyong's, Hao Guozi felt that this matter would be ruined.

Sure enough, Sang Xiaotu sighed, “I heard that Lin Zhengyong isn't willing to do anything to help.”

Hao Guozi frowned.

As a result, no one in Tangyang County, the home of the litigation masters, dares to take the case.

“It's not that I'm afraid to take it.” Mr. Yichui stroked his beard, “But that someone had been entrusted with it and I couldn't take it.”

The cool breeze from the pavilion crosses the hall from east to west.

Gu-She asked without moving, “Whose trust?”

Mr. Yichui's answer was ambiguous: “The benefactor.”

Gu-She: “Reason?”

Mr. Yichui thought about it and felt it was not a shame to admit defeat and said, “I lost the case once and he let me go. I owe him a favor.”

“You lost the case?” Gu-She was shocked. He thought Mr. Yichui and Lin Zhengyong were both unbeaten in court.

Mr. Yichui smiled bitterly and said, “Do you think everyone is like you, that everything is going smoothly?”

Gu-She was silent.

Mr. Yichui said, “You hit a wall with Lin Zhengyong too, didn't you?”

Gu-She was silent.

Mr. Yichui's lips were slightly smug. Although he was familiar with Gu-She's character, he still felt a little unhappy when Gu-She left him behind to find his rival for help without hesitation. He smiled rather than laughing and said, “I knew it. If that person is looking for me, he must be able to silence Lin Zhengyong. Otherwise, it's useless for him to come to me. In fact, have you ever thought that there is another litigation master who can take action?”

Gu-She: “I don't go to court.”

Mr. Yichui said, “If you don't want to go, how can I force you to do it? Tangyang is known as the home of the litigation masters and is full of talents, how can you not find someone to come?” He saw Gu-She's hidden impatience, so he reveals the riddle, “I'm talking about... Lu Zhenxue."

Gu-She looked at him quizzically.

“Lu Zhenxue is Lin Zhengyong's favorite student but he's been trying to leave Lin Zhengyong for a few years now, ready to become his own school. His background is deep and he's eager to make a name for himself, so this is the perfect time for him.” Mr. Yichui was smiling as he said it.

Gu-She said, “Aren't you afraid your benefactor will suffer?”

Mr. Yichui laughed in a thoughtful way: “Owing him a favor and accepting it are two different things.”

“Thank you.” Gu-She stood up indifferently, ready to walk out.

Suddenly Mr. Yichui said, “I thought you were a man of the world but I didn't know that you would enter the world because of a man (Tao Mo).”

Gu-She said, “What about you?”

“Me?” Mr. Yichui smiled, “I've been here all my life and I've never left.”

Gu-She: “Me too.”

“Oh?” Mr. Yichui looked unconcerned.




“It's just that no one saw me before.” Gu-She stepped away. 😏
