Gu Chengyu had no affection whatsoever for Gu Changbai and was really impatient with him. If it weren't for the fear of trouble from being watched by those Imperial Censors, Gu Chengyu wouldn't bother at all.
Ming Mo opened his mouth but finally just replied, "Yes." Actually, he wanted to say that they needed to find a proper way to handle this matter, as Gu Changbai clearly intended to cling to his master. Now that the master was an official, his actions were more restricted.
"Master! He even brought up Miss Ji." Ming Mo was still a bit angry remembering this; Gu Changbai implied that there was something improper between his master and Miss Ji, which violated ethical norms and was simply outrageous.
Fortunately, his master was upright and didn't touch Ji Fuhu at all. But even so, if these words spread out, others surely wouldn't believe it. The thought worried him. What if this affected his master's reputation? What then?
