The case between the assassin and the Wu family has come to an end.
Looking at the black-haired night outside, Tao Mo couldn't help sniggering as he recalled what happened during the day.
"Master."
"Young master."
Hao Guozi and Gu Xiaojia spoke at the same time.
Tao Mo was startled, quickly put away his smile, and coughed dryly, "What's the matter?"
Gu She didn't answer, but looked at them.
Gu Xiaojia bumped Hao Guozi's arm.
Hao Guozi had no choice but to ask, "Where is the young master going to rest tonight?"
Tao Mo was taken aback, obviously he had never thought about this question. Although he and Gu She got married in secret, but in the end it was in secret. One of them lives in the county government office and the other lives in Gu's mansion. Naturally, they can't face each other day and night like other couples. Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling sad.
Seeing that Tao Mo didn't speak, Gu Xiaojia and Hao Guozi could only look at Gu She helplessly.
Gu She said: "Naturally it is the Gu family."
Everyone in the Gu family knew about the addition of a wife, but the county government still kept it secret. If he stayed, it would be inconvenient to get in and out.
Tao Mo wondered: "But..."
Gu She said: "Didn't you always borrow from Gu's house before? Now you just changed your borrowing into a permanent residence."
Tao Mo said: "It was because the roof of the county government leaked."
It just so happened that old Tao Gang sent someone to send a message to come back with Mr. Jin. Hearing this, he turned around in place and went out again.
The others were puzzled when they heard a loud noise, followed by the sound of falling objects.
Tao Mo hurriedly stood up and ran outside.
Gu She waved to Gu Xiaojia, and Gu Xiaojia quickly chased after him.
When Tao Mo ran, he couldn't stride too far, and he didn't dare to bump too hard. He dawdled to his room, but saw a pile of rubble on the ground, and a big hole in the roof. Looking up, he could see the stars shining brightly.
"What's going on here?" Tao Mo looked at Lao Tao who was holding a candlestick to help him light up.
Old Tao said: "As the young master saw, the roof that was repaired last time was not strong and broke again. Fortunately, no one was injured."
"..." Tao Mo said, "Old Tao, your excuse is really... really..."
Old Tao said: "The excuses are not new or old, but valid. Before the roof is repaired, the young master can only continue to stay in Gu's house. I will send Hao Guozi to send it over later."
Tao Mo looked at the roof and then again, and said: "If it is repaired, it will be deducted from my salary."
It seems that the two crimes that the prefect of Qincheng accused him of are still fresh in his memory. Old Tao said: "I know."
Since the roof was broken, Tao Mo "can only" follow Gu She back to the mansion.
Hao Guozi packed his luggage and sent him directly to Gu She's room. Sang Xiaotu, who had been sent to serve Tao Mo before, finally came in handy and was reactivated.
Although the two have become husband and wife, Tao Mo is still very nervous when he thinks that they will really share the same bed and live in the same room from now on. In his heart, Gu She has always been like a white cloud in the sky, high above and untouchable. Now not only has he touched it, but he has to sleep with clouds in his arms every day. Just thinking about it makes his palms sweat.
Gu She took off his coat and sat on the edge of the bed, looking up at him.
Tao Mo's undressing fingers trembled slightly, and he wanted to turn around, but felt that it was too impolite, so he could only dawdle with his head down.
"Come here." Gu She said.
Tao Mo shook his fingers, hesitated, and slowly moved to the bedside.
Gu She helped him untie his robe, got up and put it on the shelf, but when he turned around, he saw Tao Mo lying on the bed spontaneously. His two hands were flat on his sides, his eyes were closed tightly, and his Adam's apple, which was constantly moving up and down, showed the tension at the moment.
Tao Mo found that the bed hadn't moved for a long time, so he couldn't help opening his eyes a little, just in time to meet Gu She's smiling eyes. "I..." He blushed.
Gu She lay down and pulled the quilt over for him, "Go to sleep."
Gu Xiaojia, who had been guarding the outer room, turned off the lights when he heard the words, and tiptoed out.
Tao Mo lay stiffly all over, his mind began to think wildly, while imagining what Gu She looked like lying beside him, and at the same time recalling the way he kissed himself during the day. Comparing the two, it seems that Gu She is a little cold at this time.
"It's been a tiring day, take a good rest." Gu She said suddenly.
The cold voice has a different kind of warmth in such a cold night.
Tao Mo grabbed the edge of the quilt with his fingers, but his heart felt sweet. He secretly thought that when his mother was alive, she must have often covered the same quilt with her father like this, and talked about their unique personal words. There was a movement around him, and before he could react, he felt a hand embracing him, wrapping his arms around his waist.
The mood that was finally relaxed suddenly tightened. Tao Mo blushed, his toes were tense, and he didn't dare to move.
"Do you want to put your feet on me?" Gu She suddenly said an extremely absurd sentence.
It took Tao Mo a long time to shake his head. Seeing that he didn't respond, he realized that maybe he couldn't see it, and said, "No need."
Gu She closed his eyes, with warm breath in his ears, and said, "If you want to, just do it. Don't ask me."
"Oh, good." Tao Mo took a deep breath, and slowly turned his head, trying to see Gu She's expression at this time, but just as his right cheek touched the pillow, his lips were lightly touched. Tao Mo's eyes widened, trying to see the expressions of the people around him clearly in the night, but no matter how he looked, he could only see the hazy outline.
"Good night, ma'am."
Those four simple words made Tao Mo's heart hanging in the air suddenly fall to the ground. He stayed quietly in the darkness for a while, then suddenly leaned over and put his head under Gu She's chin.
…
The hand that hugged Tao Mo lightly patted his back.
It has been more than half a month since Yue Ling left Guangxi. He stayed here to prepare for Gu She's marriage. Now that Gu She and Tao Mo are married, he said goodbye.
Gu She knew that he wanted to return, so he didn't want to keep him. Tao Mo secretly felt that the hospitality was not good enough, so he specially asked Sang Xiaotu to buy some local products from Tanyang to take back with him.
After Yue Ling left, the position of the head of the mansion became vacant again. Although Gu Xiaojia had always been the housekeeper of the Gu Mansion before, he thought that now that he had a wife, he shouldn't have to take care of it all by himself, so he learned to ask Tao Mo about everything, making Tao Mo miserable. He didn't know anything about mansion management. There used to be a housekeeper in the Tao Mansion, but later he had Lao Tao by his side, so seeing that Gu Xiaojia asked too many questions, he had no choice but to push Lao Tao out.
Old Tao Guan started out as a good hand, swift and resolute, watertight, tougher than Yue Ling's wrist.
Gu Xiaojia still felt uncomfortable at first, but later seeing how well organized he was, she secretly admired him, but she never said it on the surface.
Lao Tao did not monopolize the power either. Every time he did something, he took Gu Xiaojia by his side and let him observe it. In his mind, although Tao Mo entered the Gu residence, his family was still in the county government, and there was absolutely no reason for him to act as his substitute. It was only because he saw that Gu Xiaojia was not smooth and steady in his life in the past, so he wanted to give him some advice. Fortunately, even though Gu Xiaojia was flamboyant, he was very smart, so he soon saw Lao Tao's intentions and started to study willingly.
It is said that Master Jin spread the news that Wu and his wife were suspected of killing their daughter Wu Qian according to what the nurse said before, and it actually took effect. After only two days, that Wu Qian really came to her door.
Seeing Wu Qian surrendered, the Wu couple knew that the situation was over, and explained the whole story one after another.
It turned out that what Shi Qianshan said was true, it was indeed a scam from beginning to end. Wu Qian hit the wall that day and just fell into a coma. After Shi Qianshan left, the Wu couple immediately rescued her and hid her in the mountain. As the case went deeper and deeper, the Wus and his wife revealed more and more flaws. Fearing that the truth would eventually come to light, they decided to take the thirty-six plan as the best plan, and escaped together with Wu Qianhui. Unexpectedly, Cui Jiong had been lying in ambush for a long time, and before Wu and his wife could find Wu Qian, he would arrest them.
Wu Qian ate all the food on the mountain and couldn't bear the hunger, so she had to come down the mountain, but when she heard the news that Wu and his wife were arrested and their lives were dying, she came forward to surrender regardless.
But to their surprise, the main messenger behind it was not the Ninth Prince they thought, but a wealthy businessman.
Master Jin separated the three of them and drew the appearance of the rich businessman according to what they said.
In the end, three similar paintings were obtained.
Tao Mo and Lao Tao looked at each other in blank dismay after seeing the painting.
Master Jin said: "Do you recognize it?"
Old Tao said: "Huang Guangde."
The corner of Gu She's mouth curled up, "It's time to invite Shi Qianshan over here for a sit down."
