When Old Tao found out that Tao Mo had returned from Gu She's place, he immediately came to inquire.

Tao Mo thereupon told him everything that had happened today, one by one.

After Old Tao finished listening to him, he heaved a long sigh of relief, then he said, "Such outcome's actually not bad at all."

Tao Mo's eyes opened wide, then he said, "Is two lives still not bad? Master Tong and Madam Tong saw their own child die before themselves. It can't get any more tragic than this."

Old Tao forced a smile, then he replied, "Young Master, what you said is right."

Tao Mo thought for a moment and said, "But Gu She's opinion is actually very much similar to yours."

Old Tao asked, "Young Master, you're praising me?"

At a loss, Tao Mo asked, "Praising you?"

"Gu She is Great Master Yichui's outstanding disciple. His reputation in Tan Yang is noteworthy. Myself, having the same view as with him, won't that be benefiting from his prestige?"

"In my heart, Old Tao's quite amazing, too." Tao Mo said sincerely. Old Tao quietly did a lot of things. Even if he never said it, it did not mean that Tao Mo did not know. He actually knew more about the painstaking efforts that Old Tao had expended behind these things.

Old Tao's face revealed a gratified look. "These two cases are neither easy nor difficult and neither light nor heavy. Even if the whole truth will be revealed, you still need to be cautious when judging the case, Young Master. You must make sure to take into account the prestige of the Tongs' residence."

"Prestige?" Tao Mo was dumbfounded. Soon afterwards, he woke up to reality and said, "You can rest assured that I certainly won't let the matter between Miss Tong and Cai Fengyuan spread out." This matter had nothing to do with other people, so why should he let them gossip about it. He just went for a trip to Mr. Yichui's residence, then rumors rose from all directions. If this matter really spreads out, would it not disturb Miss Tong underground and make her unable to get peace?

He muttered to himself irresolutely for a long time. Won't it be better if I'll deal with these two cases separately? Anyway, the outsiders don't know the relationship between Cai Fengyuan and Miss Tong, and the Tongs' residence will naturally cover up this matter and absolutely not spread it out.

He looked at Old Tao and was about to speak out what he had in mind, but then he thought better of his appointment with Gu She tomorrow, so he immediately swallowed it back and vaguely said, "This matter, I still have to consider it."

Old Tao smiled and said: "Young Master, it's natural that you'll consider this matter slowly. I'll go to the kitchen first and check on something."

"All right." After he left, Tao Mo secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He and Gu She did not have much to talk about. Perhaps, they could talk more about this matter.

He spent a night and half a day waiting for their appointment.

After high noon, Hao Guozi went back and forth between the entrance and the study.
