Love is More than a Word, Chapter 95: I will make my own mind about my marriage (5)...
The mood in the room is heavy.

They know Huang Guangde is behind all this but they have no evidence, so it's unbearable to be beaten like this!

Lao Tao suddenly said, “Do you think, if Huang Guangde had been assassinated, the world would have been much more peaceful.”

Master Jin was taken aback and said, “Never!”

Lao Tao feigned innocence and said, “I was just asking, not trying to assassinate him.”

Master Jin didn't know what he was thinking, so he said, “Huang Guangde is a vicious and vengeful man. For a man like him, it's not easy to assassinate him as he sleeps with his eyes open. Even if it's done, how can the court turn a blind eye to the murder of the Prefectural Magistrate? There's no telling how many people will be involved, how many souls will be killed.”

Lao Tao laughed dryly, “I'm just hoping someone will do it righteously.”

Master Jin said, “It's not difficult to bring down Huang Guangde. With his bad track record, as long as he's smart, the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Bureau, the Inspection Yuan, or even the Imperial Court, there's always someone who can bring him down.”

When he said he had great vision, they all turned their eyes to Gu-She.

Gu-She slowed down and said: “Time consuming.”

Master Jin said, “Is there any other way Young Master Gu can do this?”

Lao Tao and Tao Mo remembered the horse, the letter.

Gu-She was silent.

Master Jin looked at Gu-She, then at Tao Mo and Lao Tao and seemed to have guessed something in his mind and his face stiffened.” He's been in the bureaucracy for so many years, how could he not know what he should know and what he should pretend not to know.

Lao Tao said, “I wonder what kind of person he is and how to deal with him?”

Gu Xiaojia suddenly said, “If the Young Master Shi you are talking about is Shi Qiangshan, I do know something about him.”

The eyes of the crowd turned to him.

Gu Xiaojia suddenly felt proud of being noticed and even raised his voice, “I heard that he has been a good friend of Shi Yaoguang since he was a child, so he is very popular with Imperial Tutor Shi. His father was a poor man but for his sake, Imperial Tutor Shi still arranged a small official position for him.”

Master Jin said: “Shi Yaoguang has a poor reputation, so it seems that Shi Qiangshan is only a hedonist.”

Gu-She said: “Not really.”

Gu Xiaojia nodded his head and said, “That's right. Every year when I go back to the capital, I hear a lot of people scolding Shi Yaoguang, talking about his absurdities but Shi Qiangshan doesn't have any abominable deeds to speak of. If I had to say something, I would say that he and Shi Yaoguang are in the same boat.”

Lao Tao said, “So, I'm afraid this Shi Qiangshan is not simple.” A person who is untouched by the mud can be said to be noble and he can also be said to be good at what he does.

Master Jin said: “In that case, his intentions are all the more reason to be wary.”

Lao Tao and Hao Guozi were jawing with a heavy expression.

The gateman suddenly ran in and said to Gu-She, “Young Master Gu, there is someone in your house who wishes to see you.”

Gu Xiaojia was confused: “Who?”

The gateman shook his head and said he didn't know.

Gu-She had already gotten up and walked out.

Gu Xiaojia got up to catch up immediately.

Tao Mo's ass lifted up but he finally sat back down. What does the Gu family residence guy have to do with this?

Lao Tao beckoned the gateman closer, “Is that Corporal the Gu family residence coming?”

The gateman nodded and said, “It's the Gu family residence's servant.” He paused, realizing he hadn't made himself clear enough and added, “It's a servant of the Gu family residence who came to inform us that the Gu family residence has a guest.”

Could a guest of the Gu family residence have a connection to the capital's prime minister?

Although Gu-She seldom mentions Imperial court officer, Minister Gu, as Imperial court officer, Minister Gu's only son, it is hard not to connect them.

Master Jin smiled sadly, “Now that's a lot to get involved in.”

Lao Tao looked at him guiltily, “Master Yao.”



“Huh?” Even though Master Jin knew he hadn't known them long and Lao Tao was justifiably defensive of him, there was a knot in his heart.

Lao Tao said, “Master Yao is getting old, why don't you go home and rest for a couple of days?” With Gu-She and Shi Qiang San involved, the situation will become more and more complicated. Master Jin is an outsider after all, so there is no need to drag him down with us.

Master Jin looks weird: “Old age?” In any case, he can't be older than Lao Tao. He smiled and said, “When you invited me out, you didn't say I was old.”

Lao Tao sighed, “Master Yao should know what I think.”

Master Jin said, “Though I understand, I fear you do not.”

Lao Tao was startled, “I don't understand?”

Master Jin said, “If I go home, who will be in charge of the county court's affairs, or will the landlord himself come? Or will the master himself come?”

Tao Mo, preoccupied with the thought of Gu-She and the guests from the Gu family residence, looked up at the news and said, “What?”

Master Jin said, “Looks like his excellency is unsure, huh?”

Tao Mo didn't know what he was referring to but there wasn't a single thing he was sure of at the moment, so he nodded his head in a muddled manner.

Lao Tao sighed.

Gu Xiaojia bursts in, picks up Tao Mo and leaves.

Lao Tao dodged in front of Gu Xiaojia.

Gu Xiaojia lost his footing, hit Lao Tao, “Yo! You, what are you doing?”

Lao Tao snatched Tao Mo's hand back from Gu Xiaojia's, “That's exactly what I wanted to ask.”

Gu Xiaojia said: “my family Young Master said he wants to treat your Master Tao to a meal! Is it okay?”

Lao Tao said, “You'd have to ask my family Young Master.”

Tao Mo got out of the daze on his face and nodded, “Naturally.” As he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel nervous. Gu-She invited him to dinner even though she had a guest from afar, could it be that she wanted to introduce him to that guest?

...

Just, he doesn't know how he'll introduce it.

He thought so, with a hint of anticipation.

Mounted on the carriage, Gu-She looks the same, neither explaining why he was invited, nor introducing the person who came.

Although Tao Mo's mind was as curious as a kitten's claws, he had to hold his doubts in check and wait to find out the answer.

Quickly went to the Gu family residence.

Tao Mo started with the carriage, the Gu family residence remains the same, no change in sight.

Gu-She then came down, saw him staring at the door and said calmly, “Don't you recognize him?”

Tao Mo said in a hurry: “No, I was just curious.”

“Curious as to who's here?” Gu-She.

Tao Mo nodded.

Gu-She said: “You'll see in a moment.”

So, he really brought him to see his guests? Tao Mo is excited, expectant and scared. Excited because Gu-She clearly doesn't treat him as an outsider, expectant because he doesn't know who's coming and what relationship he has with Gu-She and scared because he doesn't know if he'll be disliked, because Gu-She is such a brilliant person that the people he befriends are probably either rich or talented and he's just ordinary by comparison.

Gu-She didn't seem to notice his thoughts and took him into the study.

In the study, a thin figure dozing by the window, as if he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes a little, his hand subconsciously raised... He stroked his moustache.

Tao Mo blinked, only to find that the man who had been slouching against the window frame was standing up and smiling at him with aplomb.

Gu-She introduced: “Yue Ling.”

Tao Mo felt  that the name was a little familiar and in a flash of thought, he remembered, “Moustache?”

Yue Ling's hand stroked the beard and his not-so-soft gaze immediately swept over to Gu-She.

Gu-She said, “It's him.”

Yue Ling piled up a smile and said to Tao Mo, “I am Yue Ling, the Yue of the Three Mountains and Five Mountains, the Ling as in of the Heavenly Palace.”

Tao Mo apologized, “I can't read.”

Yue Ling said, “No harm done, just know that these two words are extremely powerful.”

Tao Mo cupped his fist and said, “I am Tao Mo.”

Yue Ling: “To enjoy oneself, with no ink on the chest. Nice name.”

Tao Mo blushed, “Chestless ink, where?”

Yue Ling said, “I like people who can enjoy themselves and have guts in their chests more than people who have read a lot of poetry but are always cold-hearted.”

Tao Mo was ignorant but not so ignorant that he doesn't hear him jabbing words at Gu-She. So he just laughs and doesn't say anything.

Gu-She let him talk on and one, before saying slowly, “How did it go?”

Yue Ling was stunned and shook his head, “Brother Gu, that tone is... It's only natural. It's a good thing I still remember where I came from and who my master is, or I would have thought you were my master.”
