Now Gefei was worried about him, "Joshua, why didn't you suddenly speak?" ”

"Gefe, do you regret it?" Joshua asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Gefei looked at him a little puzzled, not understanding what he was asking.

The two sat down face to face on the soft couch, "I know that the head of the family has not spoiled you until now, maybe you will not be favored by the head of the house in the future, and you will have to stay alone for the rest of your life, don't you regret your original choice?" Joshua grabbed Gefei's hand and asked clearly.

Hearing this, Gefei was stunned, then shook his head very firmly, and denied: "No, I don't regret it, even if I can only guard this small bedroom alone for the rest of my life, and I can't get the favor of the city lord, but I am still the nominal servant of the city lord, as long as I think that I can live under the same roof with the city lord every day, and see her occasionally, I am satisfied." Even though he sometimes feels lonely and desolate, he has no regrets.

"Do you really think so?" Joshua asked, somewhat uncertain.

"What else can you do if you don't think so? What man doesn't want to get the favor of his wife, of course I want to, but I'm not as lucky as you, and now I'm resigned to my fate, at least one of the two of us is happy, and that's enough. Gefei took Joshua's hand and said sincerely.

Seeing this, Joshua couldn't help but be moved, and at the same time bitter, he was not as happy as he imagined, what Gefei didn't know was that he was actually no different from them except for the position of a waiter, and the lord of the city had never invited him to sleep since that time, as if he had forgotten him, and had not looked at him again.

As if seeing Joshua's melancholy, Gefei was a little puzzled, "Joshua, what's wrong?" Why do you have such an expression? ”

The corners of Joshua's mouth raised a wry smile, and he confided the truth bitterly: "Actually, I am not much better than you, except for having an official name, in fact, I am the same as you, since that 'illness', after so long, he has never stepped into my pavilion again, not even once." ”

"How so?" When Gefei heard this, he couldn't help but clench Joshua's hand, he always thought that Joshua was very favored, otherwise the city lord would not have given him a courtyard on the third day of his blessing, promoted him to a chamber-in-waiting, and let Joshua follow the master husband to study medicine, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.

Joshua smiled bitterly again, then cheered up and changed the subject: "Forget it, don't talk about these unhappy things, I came to play chess with you today, you should have heard about it." He flashed the chessboard in his hand and smiled.

Geffey knew that Joshua didn't want to bring up those uncomfortable topics, and he didn't bring them up anymore, "Well, I've heard about it, but I haven't played it yet, or let's call the other brothers in the garden to play with us." As he spoke, Geffey thought of the other brothers in the Garden of Love, and couldn't help but look at Joshua inquiringly.

"It's okay, but I only have one set of chess, otherwise, I'll ask the steward to ask for a few more pairs." Joshua thought for a moment.

"Is that okay?" Gefei asked in surprise.

"What's not to do." Joshua smiled, and immediately called his attendant and ordered him to go down.

After a while, the other pets in the garden came over as if they had made an appointment.
