Gu Chengyu thought for a moment; indeed, he needed a maid by his side. It's not that Ming Mo and the others didn't know how to serve him, but rather they had tasks to complete for him. Having a maid manage the house would lighten Ming Mo and the others' load.
"Has the master returned?" As soon as Ming Mo returned, he hurriedly went to the main house to pay his respects.
Ming Mo went out to gather news; Lord Yin went to the Palace and hasn't returned.
"Is there something going on? Where did Ming Yan go?" Gu Chengyu heard Ming Mo had returned and wanted to inquire about recent events.
"Reporting to the master! Ming Yan went to the tavern. Since the master has been absent these past two days, some local ruffians have somehow gotten wind of it. They've been lurking around the tavern, some even eating and drinking without paying, so Ming Yan was called by Steward Yu to oversee the situation."
