Mu Chun closed the window, and asked casually, "I heard that Gu She's carriage has come."

Tao Mo also had no idea why his news was so well-informed, so he nodded hastily.

Mu Chun said: "But what did Gu She say that displeased the master?"

Tao Mo shook his head quickly, and sighed: "He, he didn't seem to say anything, and... he seemed to say something, but I couldn't understand it."

Mu Chun pretended to be suspicious: "If I don't even know about my boss, how can I guess?"

Tao Mo said bluntly: "I think you're smarter than me, maybe you can get it." He paused, then said, "Why don't I tell you all about our conversation, listen to it."

Mu Chun made a gesture of invitation.

Tao Mo came together one by one.

He has an excellent memory, and he cared about Gu She, and he described it clearly and clearly, even Gu She's demeanor at that time was vivid.

After Mu Chun was slightly surprised, he listened with a smile.

At the end, Tao Mo put away all kinds of expressions, and said depressedly: "The carriage returned to the county office after only one turn, and I don't know what he meant. Could it be that I offended him in my words without realizing it?"

Mu Chun said: "If you want to say that, it's fine."

Seeing that he really knew, Tao Mo hurriedly asked with wide eyes, "What did you say wrong?"

"Do you still remember the relationship between Sun Nuo and Gu She?"

Tao Mo nodded and said, "From the same family. Ah, you mean, because of Sun Nuo?"

Mu Chundao: "The original intention of the Liang family to go to court was to let Mr. Liang marry the second Miss Qiu. Now that the owner has complied with their wish, it is naturally equivalent to letting the litigator they hired, Lu Zhenxue, win a small game to represent the Qiu family. Sun Nuo lost a small game. Lu Zhenxue studied under Lin Zhengyong, and he has been an old enemy for many years with Sun Nuo and Gu She's mentor Mr. Yichui. He defeated Sun Nuo and won the lawsuit. How can Gu She be happy?"

Tao Mo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he said after a while: "Then Second Miss Qiu and Mr. Liang are obviously lovers who are happy with each other. I just let their lovers get married. What's wrong?"

"That's right." Mu Chun said, "It's just that what you want is different."

Tao Mo's face was confused, "Then what's the meaning of the quick trial he gave me?"

Mu Chundao: "At the beginning of the hall, the entanglement between Miss Qiu and Mr. Liang had not yet surfaced, and Sun Nuoxiao had the upper hand. Under such circumstances, Gu She naturally hoped that you would settle the battle quickly, and obey Xiaojia's words. , when the two parties expire and get married separately, the two have nothing to do with each other."

Tao Mo wondered: "How did he know that later..."

Mu Chun just smiled and said nothing.

Tao Mo suddenly realized, and said: "He already knew that Second Miss Qiu and Young Master Liang were lovers, and that it was Second Miss Qiu who secretly tipped off the news?! But, if I really do what he said, I will sentence the two of you." Wouldn't it be true that a pair of lovers would be separated by their respective marriages at the end of the term, and perhaps two unfavorable relationships would be created? How could he..."

Mu Chun saw that he was greatly shocked, and was about to persuade him a few words, when Tao Mo turned around and ran out of the room.

Tao Mo flew out of the county government office, ran all the way, and didn't stop until he reached the gate of Gu's mansion.

He was very angry when he came out, and he just wanted to find Gu She to confront him, but now he was really standing at the gate of Gu's mansion, but he hesitated and hesitated.

After walking back and forth for nearly a stick of incense, he finally stomped his feet and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly, and the concierge knew him, so he didn't want to ask for a post, and immediately informed Gu Xiaojia.

Gu Xiaojia didn't expect that he knelt and bowed in the courtroom but was still defeated. He was full of anger when he heard that Tao Mo came to the door, so he stood up and didn't report to Gu She, and walked towards the door in three steps at a time. go.

Tao Mo had calmed down at this moment, and he just wanted to ask Gu She clearly. In his mind, Gu She is certainly indifferent, but he is very principled in his conduct, so he should not be such a person who will use any means to win. So when he saw Gu Xiaojia approaching aggressively, he was slightly taken aback. "you… "

"What are you doing here?" Gu Xiaojia's voice was higher than his.

"I… "

"I don't want to see you right now!"

"you… "

"It's useless to say anything!"

"I… "

"I do not want to hear!"

Tao Mo had no choice but to remain silent.

But his silence made Gu Xiaojia even more displeased, "What are you doing standing quietly in front of the door?"

Tao Mo looked at him.

Gu Xiaojia was stunned by him for a moment, and his arrogance was weak, "Don't you think that my son will forgive you if you lower your posture, there is no way!"

Tao Mo's originally subdued anger was aroused a little by his few words, and he said in a low voice, "I just met your young master."

"My son is not here."

Tao Mo was stunned, "Where did you go?"

Gu Xiaojia snorted coldly: "There is no place for you."

Tao Mo knew that he was angry, but he had no choice but to say: "I have something to ask him, and I will leave after asking."

"Ask my son?" Gu Xiaojia looked at him, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Tao has two masters of gold and wood beside him, right? Why do you need to ask my son? My surname is neither Huo nor Shui, Not to mention the surname Tu, I'm afraid I can't get together the five elements of Master Tao, so I can't afford your inquiry!"

Tao Mo couldn't help but take two steps back after being sprayed with saliva all over his face.

"It's okay to leave!" Gu Xiaojia slammed the door shut!

Tao Mo's hair was blown backwards by the wind blowing out of the door, and after a while, he realized that the door had been shut down, and he was depressed and panicked.

Is this the attitude of Gu She? Did he make up his mind to return to the bridge with himself from now on

He walked down the road in a daze.

The noise in the street is out of tune with him. The sounds of shouting and laughing flowed away from him like running water, without even a single drop touching him.

Thinking of the little things since I met Gu She, I feel heartache and confusion.

Could it be that Gu She is really going to break up with him and never see him again? There was a familiar stabbing pain in his heart, and he stood on the street for a while clutching his chest.

Seeing his painful expression, the people around stepped aside one after another.

"Huh!" Suddenly someone screamed, although it was not loud, it sounded like a blow to Tao Mo's ears. He turned his head to look, but only saw a figure fleeing hastily.

"Pengxiang?" Tao Mo murmured, and belatedly chased after him, but the figure had already disappeared into the crowd.

He searched the street like a headless chicken for nearly half an hour before returning to the county government office in a daze.

Hao Guozi had been waiting at the door for a long time, when he saw him coming in, she quickly pulled him aside, and asked anxiously, "Master, where have you been?"

Tao Mo was upset, and said casually, "Walk around."

"Gu She has been here for almost half an hour." Hao Guozi lowered his voice.

Tao Mo was stunned, and asked after a while, "Who?"

"Gu She." Hao Guozi looked at him worriedly. Although he doesn't like Gu She, he is also startled when he sees his young master completely forgetting the person he misses in the blink of an eye.

Tao Mo opened his eyes wide and said, "He, he, how did he get here?"

Hao Guozi said, "He came in a carriage. What's the matter?"

"Oh, no." Tao Mo rushed into the room as he said, and after a few steps, he turned around again and straightened his temple hair and collar to Hao Guozi, "How is it?"

Seeing his cheeks so excited that two red clouds flew up, Hao Guozi felt helpless, and helped him straighten his clothes, "I don't think the shooter is kind, young master, be careful."

Tao Mo calmed down, nodded heavily, and walked in slowly.

But Gu She was not in the hall, so Tao Mo searched around before finding him in the study.

"You," Tao Mo stood at the door just as he was about to speak, when Gu She's eyes as deep as the night sky looked at him fixedly, his voice suddenly weakened, "Why are you here?"

Gu She put the book in his hand on the table, and said calmly, "Didn't you come to find me?"

Tao Mo mumbled, "Yes, but didn't you miss me?"

Gu She's eyes darkened.

Tao Mo's heart sank, he was afraid that he would offend him again.

But Gu She didn't walk away as he thought, but said slowly: "It's cold outside, come in."

Tao Mo agreed, stepped into the threshold, and then remembered that he was the master of the study. Seeing Gu She majesticly occupying his desk, he felt a subtle feeling in his heart.

Gu She said: "Why did you come to see me?"

Tao Mo walked all the way back, the anger and impulsiveness in his heart had already been burned completely. Hearing him mention it, he hesitated for a while and asked, "Did you know that Miss Qiu is in love with Mr. Liang?"

"It's not too early." Gu She didn't hide anything, "It's just before you are promoted."

Seeing his innocent expression, Tao Mo was a little confused, "You really knew that earlier."

Gu She said: "So what?"

"Since you know that they are in love, why did you ask Gu Xiaojia to go to court to instigate Mr. Qiu and Mr. Liang to delay the marriage contract until it expires?" Tao Mo stared at him without blinking.

Gu She said: "If not, Sun Nuo would not even have a 10% chance of winning the lawsuit."

Tao Mo stayed for a long time before he said, "Win the lawsuit?"

Gu She said: "Sun Nuo is a litigator."

"I know. But you..."

"I belong to the same sect as him."

"But Mr. Liang and Miss Qiu are clearly in love with each other, so they..."

Gu She stood up, stared at him, and said in an extremely indifferent tone: "What does it have to do with me?"
