Ming Mo received Gu Chengyu's orders, took twenty taels from his pocket and tucked it into his chest, ready to send those two people off from the front courtyard.
His master had earlier instructed him to keep some silver on him from the outer courtyard since he often handled tasks for his master. However, even when collecting silver from the outer courtyard, he had to register at the steward's office.

Therefore, he never privately used the task silver he received from the outer courtyard; his self-control wasn't so lacking.
Gu Changbai and Gu Wanfang had already been led into the front courtyard hall to wait, both sitting anxiously. Gu Wanfang, especially being here at the Gu Mansion for the first time, felt very uneasy.
