Chapter 424: Feeling sorry for a man
Chapter 424: Feeling sorry for a man
The Eighth Master locked himself in the study and sat behind the desk with a pale face.
Guo Luoluo lost her child, who was his only child, so of course he felt heartbroken.
But she blamed it all on him!
He didn't really have a concubine. He just kept that woman to deal with the prince.
But today, not only was he discovered by Guo Luoluo, but the news also spread all over the city, making him lose face.
Thinking about the way his colleagues looked at him while he was on duty today, he felt as if ants were crawling all over his body.
In the previous twenty years, no matter how poor his background was, he felt extremely inferior.
But he had never been in such a situation outside.
Guo Luoluo's willful behavior this time pushed him to such an unbearable point.
You're still trying to put all the blame on him?!
"Guo Luoluo, with such a brain, are you really worthy of being my son's biological mother?" The chess piece in the Eighth Master's hand fell heavily on the chessboard.
He used to only care about a woman's background, thinking that as long as she had a good background, she could make up for many of his regrets.
But now it seems that brains and background are equally important.
If he were as stupid as the ninth and tenth brothers, he would not amount to anything.
So, in this case, the death of this child is actually a good thing for him.
However, he still needed the support of the Guo Luoluo family, so he suppressed these thoughts and did not mention them.
After drinking the last sip of tea in the cup, Mr. Ba stood up with difficulty and walked out slowly.
Although the affair that was planned yesterday was very humiliating, the unexpected madness was a bit too much for him to bear.
After all, Lin Mingzhen was nourished by secret medicine, and her hip technique, which was like a small motor, was not something that Mr. Ba could withstand.
The high intensity of grain delivery squeezed him dry.
I still have a little wobbly walk today, but I can't let others notice it at all.
Especially Guo Luoluo, after all, he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he could still make it up.
Entering the main courtyard is like entering an ice cave.
Guo Luoluo was lying on a large carved bed, and her maids who came with her were serving her, not daring to make a sound.
Seeing him coming, Guo Luoluo said in a hoarse voice: "The child is gone, are you satisfied now?"
When she thought of this healthy child, Guo Luoluo couldn't help but cry.
Mr. Ba resisted the urge to turn around and leave, walked over and sat down beside her bed, and sighed deeply.
"Yue'er, what are you talking about? I feel sad for this child too!" His eyes suddenly turned red. "We've been set up!"
"What design? Was it designed by your beloved?" Guo Luoluo was so angry that she stretched out her hand and grabbed his arm fiercely.
This crazy woman!
The Eighth Master hissed and said, holding back the pain: "That woman is the prince's person. I captured her just to pry some information out of her mouth..."
"Pry? What are you going to use to pry? Are you going to use your Jiba to pry?!" Guo Luoluo had long lost her mind and spoke without thinking.
vulgar!
How vulgar!
Master Ba frowned and tried to comfort her: "Yue'er, I know you are too sad, but you still have to consider your dignity."
"You know how harsh the words people say are, so don't let them gossip about you."
No matter how fierce Guo Luoluo was, she was a noble lady who had been educated since childhood and knew that people's words were scary.
It was just that she was too angry, so she blurted out these words. Now that he was comforting her, she couldn't say anything more.
But she was still very angry and pinched him hard again: "You know it's not nice. If you keep a mistress outside, how will others look at me in the future?!"
Although she was sad about losing her child, she knew she would have another one in the future as long as Dr. Li was around.
But my reputation is ruined. How can I face social events in the future?
The Eighth Master sighed and said, "That's why you're so ignorant. If you ask me, wouldn't it be all right?"
"Have I ever stayed overnight outside in all these years? Even when the Emperor wanted to give me someone, I always refused!"
"What other celestial being could there be out there? Is it worth it for you to risk your own health and cause a scene with me?"
The child was gone, but Mr. Ba didn't mention it again and only started by caring about her health.
After this conversation, Guo Luoluo had already believed that the Eighth Master really did not have a mistress.
But he was busy with his career, but she caught him by chance.
Now, she remembered even more the palace maids gossiping beside the rockery in the imperial garden.
"Could it be that I've been tricked?" Guo Luoluo's face looked extremely ugly.
Is it really such a coincidence that a palace maid runs into the Eighth Master keeping a mistress in Queer Hutong?
As soon as Mr. Ba heard it, he knew there was something fishy. After asking about it, he almost beat his chest and stamped his feet!
He said bitterly, "That Lin has been captured for such a long time and hasn't even left the yard. How could she have been seen with me?"
"What's more, that maid happened to be right next to you and gossiped about us. It's obvious that someone is setting us up!"
His brain started working rapidly, and he was able to make moves in the palace.
There are also people who can contact Lin Mingzhen and drug him without anyone knowing.
He also set up a trap to get Guo Luoluo involved.
One thing leads to another, making the couple run around in circles.
Among my brothers, those who have such connections and the brains to get things done can be counted on one hand.
The eldest brother, the prince, the third brother, and the fourth brother, these four people are all suspects.
But he was a humble person and had never offended these four people. For the sake of their brotherhood, they should not have treated him like this.
So, it was because Saiqi discovered that he had captured Lin Mingzhen that he fought back.
Prince, you are so cruel!
The Eighth Master thought of his previous child, who also helped the Crown Prince to step on a landmine and died, and he still owed his younger brother a child.
This time he acted without any scruples, totally disregarding brotherhood!
Guo Luoluo didn't understand these things about the previous dynasty. Only after listening to the Eighth Master's detailed explanation did she burst into tears.
"So that's how it is, my poor child..." She was really heartbroken.
But after crying, she asked with concern: "That woman was rescued. Will it be harmful to you?"
She was really panicked now, fearing that her impulsive behavior would affect the affairs of the Eighth Master in the previous dynasty.
She really regretted it now. If she had known earlier, she would have listened to her aunt.
Why did you lose your mind?!
"Alas, I never had any power or status, it's just about the same as before," Mr. Ba frowned and spoke pitifully.
It was almost the same as before, that is, being bullied by brothers, looked down upon by court officials, and ignored by the Emperor.
When Guo Luoluo heard what he said, her heart ached deeply...
