His heart that had just been eased instantly picked up again.

Tao Mo blankly looked at him. Soon, the far distance between them became near, then became far again. Tao Mo could not help but call out to him: "Young Master Gu!"

Gu She, who seemed to be paying attention to the one beside him, lazily turned his head.

After being swept away by his cold gaze, Tao Mo's body stiffened, then he asked, "You didn't eat?"

"What did you say?" Gu Xiaojia, who had been paying attention to Tao Mo, could not help but jump off the carriage and stare at him.

After Tao Mo took a glimpse at him, he soon realized that he sounded malicious when he asked Gu She that question, as if Gu She only came here to eat. His face turned red, then he said, "I didn't mean it like that."

"Stupid." Gu Xiaojia opened the carriage door and said, "Young Master, let's go back."

Gu She was about to get in the carriage when he heard Tao Mo call his name again, "Young Master Gu."

Gu Xiaojia stared at him and said, "What the hell?"

Being asked like this, Tao Mo was at a loss for words. He just wanted to look at Gu She's eyes a few times and did not want him to leave so early. As for an excuse, he could not think of anything.

Gu She finally turned around and looked at him, then he asked, "Do you need my help?"

Tao Mo was at a loss for words. He did not know where his words stemmed from, but it could also be considered he succeeded by a lucky stroke. It was exactly what he wanted so he conveniently said, "Yes, yes, indeed, there's something I need your help with."

"Small favor or big favor?" Gu Xiaojia suddenly interjected into the topic.

Gu She also did not oppose.

Wherever Tao Mo wanted to get something, he had to say: "There's a big one and a small one."

Gu Xiaojia frowned and said, "How can this person be so troublesome?"

Tao Mo also did not know why this flashed brightly across his mind. He responded with this sentence, "I need to answer the call of nature."

"..." Gu Xiaojia was at a loss.

Gu She spoke. "Come and wait outside my manor tomorrow."

Tao Mo did not find Gu She's words and deeds savage. He joyfully watched them get into the carriage and drove off.

After Tao Mo spoke, the palanquin porters of the county's yamen realized that he had come out, and at that moment, he was ushered in and carried back to his residence.

On his way back to the county's yamen, Tao Mo continuously pondered over how he should talk about this matter with Old Tao. When he thought of Old Tao's reaction, his heart went cold. However, the thought of seeing Gu She again tomorrow warmed up his heart.

This cool-to-warm changed into a warm-to-cool experience when he got back to the county's yamen.

Hao Guozi suddenly rushed out from inside and he almost bumped into Tao Mo. He looked very excited. "Young Master, you mustn't have known about this but, someone has handed over an indictment!"
