Young Master Wu happily agreed. He glanced at Ranmo and Qingsheng again and continued, "Dad, there's one more thing. It's about the craftsman Li Yi that Ranmo mentioned to you last time. Ranmo said he wanted to talk to you about it."

Master Wu looked at Ran Mo coldly, "Didn't I tell you last time? There's nothing to talk about. As long as I'm still here, he should stay here with me."

Ran Mo was about to start a conversation when Wu Shao hurriedly said:

"Dad, the fact that Young Master Zhao was able to visit our house this time was also thanks to Ranmo and Qingsheng who risked being scolded by Master Zhao and went to his house to meet Master Zhao and his son. Now the situation has eased. Please have a good talk with Ranmo again. Please, Dad."

Master Wu pointed at Young Master Wu, shook his head, then looked at Ran Mo and said, "I still have to pay you a fee for running errands, right?"

Young Master Wu was about to say something, but Ran Mo stopped him and replied, "No need to charge for the errand. We went there voluntarily. Master Wu, just consider it a favor like delivering water to us. Can I say a few more words?"

Master Wu remained silent. Ran Mo continued, "Speaking of which, this was also a coincidence. Li Yi had not yet gone to the Zhao Mansion to work as a craftsman, but our mansion welcomed Young Master Zhao to help decorate the flowers and trees.

Although their statuses were very different, they were both skilled in their crafts, and their ideas for helping each other to integrate were commendable. Young Master Zhao was also very concerned about Li Yi's affairs.

He thought that if Li Yi went to work at his house, if Master Wu needed anything in the future, he could always ask him to come and help. And Young Master Zhao would still come to the house frequently to visit and help with the flowers and trees. So, if you calculate it this way, our Wu family would also benefit greatly.

Master Wu said expressionlessly, "You are more thoughtful than anyone in my Wu Mansion." Ran Mo hurriedly bowed and said, "No, no, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Master Wu."

Master Wu asked again, "Are there any other reasons?" Ran Mo pondered for a moment, then briefly explained that Li Yi had a crush on someone in the Zhao Mansion. He also praised him, saying that he was a man who valued friendship and cared about the woman. He also sincerely wanted to help them.

Mr. Wu frowned and said, "Why do you always like to meddle in other people's emotional affairs?"

Qingsheng couldn't stand it any longer and blurted out, "Uncle Wu, Ranmo is also doing this out of good intentions. He has no selfish motives at all."

Master Wu turned to look at him suspiciously and said, "Qingsheng, your father entrusted you to me so that you could concentrate on martial arts training. Why are you now spending all your time on things like helping others spread rumors and deliver messages?"

Qing Shengyi bowed and said, "Sheng'er has always kept in mind the teachings of my father and Uncle Wu. However, the ancients also said that establishing virtue and building a career are inseparable.

I just took advantage of my spare time from martial arts training to help deal with this matter, and I also wanted to help reconcile and maintain harmonious relations. This is also a good deed.

Moreover, with Ranmo's help, my mastery of writing and understanding of laws and morals have greatly improved. I also want to be like Brother Weiye, a man of both civil and military proficiency. I sincerely ask Uncle Wu to investigate and understand."

Qingsheng's words were so logical and reasonable that even Master Wu couldn't refute them. He knew the pros and cons involved.

He pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to do it, then do it. But you need to let your father know, so that he won't blame me for distracting you in the future."

Qingsheng said happily, "Uncle Wu, don't worry. My father has long known that Ranmo and I are studying law and handling cases. He's quite supportive. He especially has a good impression of Ranmo."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu opened his eyes wide and asked, "Why, has your father met him?" Qingsheng nodded and told him truthfully that he had taken Ranmo to his home in Dayue City to meet his father and other elders.

Mr. Wu looked at Ran Mo intently and said, "You two really have a special relationship. Alas, it's also because I didn't keep a close eye on you. I didn't even know when you slipped away from under my nose and went to Dayue City."

Qingsheng was afraid that Master Wu would become suspicious of their relationship, so he quickly said, "Uncle Wu, this is what happened. I'm very grateful to Uncle Wu and his family for taking care of me. They treat me like family. I came to Xiaoyue City, firstly to practice martial arts with Brother Weiye, and secondly, for that matter, to find my mother, which you know.

That time, Ranmo and I went to the county town to inquire about my mother's whereabouts, and then we stopped by Dayue City. I didn't tell you the details when I came back, as I didn't want to bother you. Please forgive me, Uncle Wu." Perhaps it was the mention of his mother's sad story that moved Qingsheng.

Upon seeing this, Master Wu hurried over, took Qingsheng's arm and said, "How could I not know how filial you are, my child? From now on, you just need to focus on practicing martial arts and studying literature with Ye'er in the mansion.

If there are other things you can learn and interact with, as long as they are beneficial to your growth, Uncle Wu will not interfere. Your father and I both hope that you two can become pillars of the country in the future."

Qingsheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you Uncle Wu for your care and cultivation! I am so lucky in this life to have two heroes, my father and Uncle Wu, to teach and guide me. Weiye and I will never let down the high hopes our elders have placed on us!" Young Master Wu also expressed the same wish.

Tears welled up in Master Wu's eyes, and he said in a trembling voice, "Good, good. You are all good children. You have learned your craft well and are filial and loving. The old lord and I are very pleased with your progress."

Several people fell into a state of moved silence. After a while, Master Wu cleared his throat and said:

"It's rare for you to be so busy planning things for the mansion. How about this: you can invite a few of your friends to the mansion's banquet in a few days, including our lawyer."

He looked at Ran Mo with a gentle gaze. Ran Mo was stunned for a moment. Qing Sheng nudged her gently from the side. She immediately came to her senses and bowed to Master Wu, saying, "Thank you, Master Wu!"

Mr. Wu smiled benevolently, glanced at the three of them again, and told them to get back to work. The three bowed to Mr. Wu and left the hall.

When they got to the courtyard, the three of them happily talked about what had just happened. Wu Shao said that he had not expected his father to become more open-minded and easy to talk to than before.

Qingsheng and Ranmo also said that Mr. Wu should be a kind-hearted person, but he has been in office for a long time and has to put on a serious face often.

Qingsheng joked, "Last time you mentioned that you wanted Mr. Wu to give you some hard work compensation, and today Mr. Wu actually mentioned it."

Ran Mo smiled and said, "Although Mr. Wu didn't give me any hard work fees, he invited me to the banquet at his mansion. Isn't this much better than the hard work fees?"

Wu Shao also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, and Li Yi's problem has been resolved. It's really a lot of good things." Then he rubbed his temples and said:

"The next big thing is the banquet. My dad just told us to invite a few more friends, so we need to carefully list which friends we want to invite to the banquet."

Qingsheng and Ranmo nodded. This was truly a wonderful thing. They had so many friends, and they really needed to organize them properly.
