gentleman's servant

Annie's husband Andre seems to have made a name for himself, and many people come to buy his paintings.

"It's a great honor to meet you, Viscount Bruce." Andre bowed excitedly to Oscar: "I just finished a few paintings recently, maybe you can visit my studio when you are free. This is Yuza Lord Baron Clark, he and his wife are also interested in buying some paintings."

Baron Youzak is the man who looks very similar to my father. He is in his early 40s, tall and straight, with long blond hair, fine and curly hair, profound facial features, and piercing eyes.He obviously lost his composure the moment he saw me, and I saw his true face at such a close distance.

This man is not Baron Uzak at all, he is definitely my father!

The so-called Baron Uzak quickly calmed down, and he bowed to Oscar with a smile on his face: "Hello, Mr. Bruce, are you also interested in Mr. Andre's paintings?"

"Hello." Oscar nodded to Baron Yuzak and said, "Mr. Andre is an excellent painter. I am considering buying a few works for collection."

Andre, who was praised by the two nobles face to face, was triumphant. He bowed exaggeratedly to the two and said, "I am looking forward to the visit of the two adults at any time."

"Oh, the host is about to start, let's go there." Baron Yuzak looked at the center of the venue and said.

Following the speech of the banquet host, the guests all gathered towards the center of the venue, forming a big circle.

But just after we took two steps, Baron Yuzak suddenly leaned towards me, and I reached out to hold him.

"My lord! What's the matter with you? Are you all right?" Andre walked over anxiously and held his other arm.

"I'm fine, I'm sick, I'm a little dizzy." Baron Yuzak frowned, and said to Oscar in embarrassment: "Mr. Bruce, I didn't bring my personal servant with me today. If you don't mind, you can ask your servant to help me Do you want to take a break?"

"Oh, of course." Oscar was obviously stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled between the Baron Yuzak and me, and then said: "How do you feel? Let me help you and let my servant go Please doctor."

"How can I trouble you, my lord, let me come, let me come." Andre yelled from the side: "Annie, go and get a doctor."

"No, this is an old problem. I don't need a doctor. I just need to find a quiet place to rest. Please don't make a fuss. Too many people are not good for my condition. I just need a servant to help me." Already." Baron Yuzak said very unceremoniously, and I could feel that his hand holding me was gradually exerting force, so much that my wrist hurt.

"My lord, I'll help Lord Youzak to rest." Without waiting for Oscar to nod, I directly took one arm of Baron Yuzak, and helped him, who seemed weak, to the lounge.

"I'm going to inform your wife," Andrey called after us.

The banquet hall was very crowded with people coming and going, but the pace of the two of us quickened unconsciously.

The middle-aged man next to me was dressed in fine clothes, he was polite, and he still smelled of elegant perfume, but if you look closely, you will find that this man is very nervous at this time, and his forehead is covered with thin sweat.

"Let's not go to the lounge, let's go to the corridor over there." He whispered in my ear.

I supported him and walked quickly to the corridor where the servants came in and out. As soon as he entered the dark and narrow stairwell, the man who had a sick face just now recovered immediately.

He pulled me by the collar and pushed me into a corner with astonishing strength.

This set of movements is so familiar, I even felt a little panic. When I did something wrong when I was a child, my father would always grab me by the collar and teach me. His catchphrase is: brat, are you looking for a fight?

He never really hit me, of course, and as his only son, the eldest at that, I was spoiled as a child despite our poverty.

"How the hell are you here!" is the voice in memory, this man is my father who has never been heard from, who has been away from home for eight years, abandoned wife and children, and left us to fend for ourselves.

"I should ask you this question, why the hell are you here, I thought you were dead!" I pushed him back, pushing him staggeringly, I am no longer the one who just grabbed him The collar taught the child, I am now taller than him, stronger than him, younger than him.

"You!" He stared at me angrily, but took a deep breath and said, "Listen, this matter is very complicated, please don't come to me, I will contact you after a while."

These words pissed me off immediately, this bastard, he left his wife and children, he is like a dog outside, pity us these years of hard life, my mother has become a drunkard, and she is still waiting all day long Hope he comes home.

"Is that the baron? John Eric, poor jingle, the tenant of Mormont Manor, how did he become a baron in a blink of an eye?" I sneered and sarcastically said: "I thought I had misidentified the person, but I didn't expect It's really you."

But my father interrupted me impatiently. He pointed at my nose with a finger and said, "You bastard, don't talk to your father like that! Do you think I can't beat you now!"

"Oh? So you still admit that you are my father. Don't worry, I won't break your dream of being rich. I will tell my mother when I get home this time, saying that I have found out about you. You died in the king's house eight years ago. All, she will never talk about you every day again. "

"Bastard!" He suddenly raised his hand and slapped me across the face: "Do you think I don't want to find you! You think my life is easy!"

I stared blankly at the angry father, suddenly a little at a loss.

"It's not clear here. I have to leave right away. Let's find a chance to meet. No. 18, there is an art exhibition in Bulklo Square. Go there and don't expose it, or my life will be gone."

He finished speaking quickly, then looked around, walked into the long and narrow corridor without looking back, and quickly disappeared.

I touched the place where he was beaten, and I was puzzled, what did he mean just now, he has become a baron, so life will not be easy?

Afterwards, I kept thinking about my father until I returned home with Oscar.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he asked me: "What's the matter? Do you know that Baron Yuzak? After helping him back, he looked sad."

Things like this, I can't hide from Oscar, and I'm very confused and need his help.

"Baron Yuzak is my father." I said bluntly.

Oscar stared at me blankly for a while, raised his eyebrows and said, "Forgive me for not understanding what you mean, but you just told me that you are actually the illegitimate son of Baron Uzak?"

I have such a terrible headache that I can't even believe it myself.My father, a farmer in the country, disappeared for several years, and when he met again he became a nobleman, which is as bizarre as a novel.

After I told Oscar in detail, he was also extremely shocked, and said in disbelief: "This is impossible. If a lord changed, how could no one notice? As far as I know, Uza Baron Ke used to be a celebrity in social occasions, because of his good looks, there are a lot of gossips."

"Do you know what's going on at Baron Uzak's house? Is it possible to know what happened?"

Oscar frowned and thought for a while, staring into my eyes and said: "If your father looks a lot like him, and then for some reason occupies the position of Baron Uzak, then... unless the Baroness and his children You know, they helped your father hide all this..."

"Why? It doesn't make sense at all. What about the original baron? Why did they find my father instead?" I said in a daze.

"Maybe we can find someone to inquire about." Oscar looked at me with a smile: "How about I take you to visit Mrs. Shirley tomorrow?"

"Ms. Shirley? Does she know? She is very familiar with Baron Uzack's family?" I asked curiously.

"Unfamiliar." Oscar shook his head: "But it doesn't prevent her from knowing. Don't underestimate this lady. Speaking of which, I was able to find you thanks to her help."

"She... how would she know where I am..." I stammered.

"Do you know, she told me something about you." Oscar walked in front of me, straightened my bow tie leisurely and said, "You left without saying a word, I was going crazy looking for you, all I searched everywhere I could think of, and even found Mrs. Shirley's house regardless of etiquette, she told me some very interesting things, all about you, do you want to hear it?"

It's such a terrible topic, I suddenly feel a chill down my spine.

"She really misses you, especially praised your hot kiss, saying that you are a rare flirt..."

I said to myself that I don’t need to feel guilty. At that time, I had nothing to do with Oscar. He was not qualified to accuse me of having anything to do with any lady at that time, but for some reason, I lowered my head involuntarily, as if my conscience was disturbed. a feeling of.

"God knows how sad I was, to think that you don't love me at all, just toy with my feelings for some reason..."

"Then why are you still looking for me? Knowing that I am such a person, you should forget me." I said without confidence.

"Because I thought at the time, even if you don't love me, I will definitely find you back and let you stay by my side. Now it seems that my decision is right." He then looked at me deeply, Then took off my bow tie.

My heart was full of fire. After I got together with Oscar, I realized that he was not as restrained as he appeared on the surface. On the contrary, his feelings were very hot, and he always expressed his feelings without hesitation. I can say it without changing my face.

He took off my clothes one by one, and then held me in his arms: "I know I can't let you go, because even if you refuse to admit that you love me, my feeling will not be wrong, my feeling tells me I can't let you leave me."

Then we went to bed, Oscar's arms like a furnace in the dead of winter night.

Under the quilt, Oscar told me: "Madam Shirley knows that you have used her, but she also happens to hate my uncle's family, so not only does she not mind, but she is very happy. She suggested that I search around the uncle's family, and sure enough I found you."

"That lady is not only intelligent, but also familiar with countless secrets in the capital. Do you still remember that she told us gossip about the Baron Yuzak's family? Maybe she can answer our doubts."

So the next day, we came to Mrs. Shirley's house in a carriage full of hope.

This is a lady who pays great attention to enjoyment. Her beautiful mansion is a pure white building, and the garden is full of green even in the slack winter.

She entertained us in the warm little flower shed and displayed her most precious china.

It's a pity that after we mentioned the purpose of coming, she said regretfully, "I'm afraid I don't know either."

"This grown-up used to be the darling of the social arena, but in recent years, he has learned profound things in a simple way, and he hardly shows up in public. Even when he goes out, he is always accompanied by his wife, and he has lost the chicness he had when he was young. He is like a boring gourd. It's up to his wife to decide."

Even the well-informed Mrs. Shirley didn't know about this, so I'm afraid I really can't find out anything.

On the way back, I couldn't hide my disappointment.

"Don't worry, I'll find out for you again." Oscar comforted me.

"But...their family is very low-key. I'm afraid you can't do anything, my lord. I don't think so. When I see my father, everything will really come to light." I said.

Oscar didn't say anything at the time, but two days later, he brought me news.
