"No." Lord Su shook his head, his eyes filled with gratitude and emotion, and said, "I offered to plead for General Zhou, but Zhou Cheng refused, saying that he did not come to me for this matter."
"He came to me only to help the Su family at the last minute."
"That day, he brought me something..."
thing?
Lord Wang's heart skipped a beat.
A sense of foreboding suddenly arose within me.
He opened his mouth, about to ask what the thing was.
Sudden!
"Bang!" The carriage came to a sudden stop, lurching along.
Before Lord Wang could even lift the curtain and angrily demand an explanation, a servant dressed in slave clothes ran over, sweating profusely, knelt down, and respectfully and fearfully asked into the carriage, "Is Lord Wang inside the carriage?"
"It's me. What is it?" Lord Wang frowned and asked in a cold voice.
The servant boy quickly looked up when he heard the sound.
His face was deathly pale, and he cried out in grief, “Master! Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened! The young master… he suddenly fell ill two hours ago, foaming at the mouth, convulsing all over, and did not breathe his last breath.”
"Young Master, it's gone."
boom--!
The sudden news left Lord Wang's head buzzing.
It felt as if a giant hand was gripping his heart; the pain was excruciating, so intense that Lord Wang couldn't breathe and clutched his chest, gasping for air.
He had been hoping for six children, and finally, he had a son!
Just because of the epidemic, they're gone!
How could he possibly accept this!
His vision went black, and the color drained from his face in an instant. He gripped the wooden window tightly with one hand and suddenly jumped off the carriage.
Lord Wang grabbed the servant's collar tightly, his lips trembling as he asked, "How could this be? How could this be? My son is gone?"
"Didn't the doctor say... two days ago that there was improvement? If we treated him properly, was there a chance we could control his condition? How could he just die like that! He was my only precious son!"
"Heavens above!!!"
How could you treat me like this?!
Lord Wang looked up to the sky and cried out in anguish, his eyes brimming with tears.
He was unwilling to accept it, truly unwilling...
Because he had given birth to five daughters in a row, and also had several concubines who all gave birth to daughters.
Feeling aggrieved, Lord Wang secretly went to a temple and asked the master there to tell his fortune. The master said that his destiny was full of daughters and that he would only have one son.
He also said that his son was destined for a calamity before the age of three, but if he could overcome it, he would surely be granted high office and great fortune in the future...
But now, we couldn't make it through.
The servant was both frightened and terrified, and quickly supported the swaying Lord Wang: "Master, please take care. The young master did not make it. When the madam heard the news, she was devastated and fainted on the spot."
"Master! Please return to the manor immediately!"
Lord Wang hurriedly followed his servant into the mansion.
Just by looking at that desolate and sorrowful figure and his unsteady steps, you could feel the deep grief in Lord Wang's heart.
In that instant, the once spirited and high-ranking official in the imperial court...
It's as if all the energy has been drained away, and he looks ten years older.
"What, what is going on..." Lord Fang sighed repeatedly, a hint of sadness in his eyes: "I held that little baby during the 100-day celebration last month."
