"When you return the food box later, tell Mrs. Gao not to trouble herself anymore and not to send anything in the future."
Gu Chengyu and Mrs. Gao's master are of similar age, and if rumors of private exchanges spread, it wouldn't be good. Although she wanted to repay a life-saving debt, still, between men and women, it's always better to avoid suspicion.
"Yes!" Ming Mo replied solemnly.
The dishes sent the day before were indeed delicious, but the young master didn't eat much; Ming Yan and Ming Mo split the rest. Young lads tend to eat a lot as they grow, naturally increasing their appetite. The food on the ship wasn't particularly tasty, and it had been several days since they had a good meal.
Though regrettable they couldn't enjoy the delicacies, they understood what weighed more. Their young master aimed to pass the imperial exams and become an official; they couldn't ruin his reputation.
