Chapter 442 The Playboy's Divorced Woman 38
Gu Shenbai did not leave the courtyard for several days.
This greatly worried the First Madam.
Although Gu Shenbai had been in a terrible slump since Xie Qingyu's death, he had never been like this before.
He's not just staying in the yard, he's not even leaving the house anymore, and he's barely touched his meals.
"What's wrong?" When the First Madam couldn't help but come over, she saw Gu Shenbai slumped on the couch.
Previously, Gu Shenbai had been somewhat better after being provoked by her, and would occasionally even go out.
Now, after just a few days, he looks so dejected again.
The First Madam couldn't get a clear answer from her questions.
There's no use in her being anxious.
Seeing Gu Shenbai like this, she was genuinely considering a marriage of convenience to ward off bad luck.
Ultimately, this whole thing is her fault. If she hadn't insisted on the two of them getting married back then, none of this would have happened.
Although Gu Shenbai was a bit of a playboy, he was still a living, breathing person who could run, jump, and laugh by her side.
It's better than being like a living dead now.
"Mother, do you think I did something wrong?" Gu Shenbai asked, holding a storybook in his hand.
The First Madam didn't understand why he asked that question out of the blue, but she would never tolerate him saying such discouraging things.
“Where did you go wrong? You did nothing wrong. It was just a twist of fate, all because of destiny.” The First Madam was referring to Xie Qingyu’s death.
But Gu Shenbai heard it differently.
It was a strange coincidence.
It's just that he didn't know how to cherish it back then.
Since the First Madam's visit, Gu Shenbai seems to have suddenly come to his senses, and he has been going out quite a bit these past few days.
The First Madam, still feeling uneasy, inquired further and found that he was still going to the same places he had visited before.
The First Madam was finally relieved, but she had relaxed too soon.
Gu Shenbai has become a monk.
The First Madam was the last to find out about this.
It was only after Lord Gu returned and hesitated to speak that she was told about this, and only after she sensed something was wrong did she tell him.
She then realized that Gu Shenbai had been going to Fahua Temple quite often lately.
At this point, Gu Shenbai had not been home for two days.
"He ran away a few days ago to settle all those things before becoming a monk." When Lord Gu learned the news today, he had already investigated what Gu Shenbai had been doing during this period.
No wonder he's been running around a lot lately; it's actually another way of making his final arrangements.
"This is a letter he wrote to you. He probably didn't want you to be sad in the past. Take a look at it first." Lord Gu has already visited Gu Shenbai.
Gu Shenbai's determination to become a monk was resolute, unlike any of his previous actions. Lord Gu could tell at a glance that this was the result of his careful consideration and that he was not someone who could be persuaded.
Gu Shenbai understood him and sent him a letter as soon as he arrived.
He dared not face the First Madam, for her tears might soften his heart.
The letter was very simple, telling the First Madam not to worry about him.
He felt guilty towards Xie Qingyu since their marriage, and now he couldn't find peace in his heart. He could only pray to Buddha for some peace. Even in the temple, Xie Qingyu was still his son, and nothing would be different.
When Gu Shenbai became a monk, he even informed the emperor. No one knows how he got the emperor's approval, but that's how it ended up.
The news that Gu Shenbai was now practicing Buddhism with his hair intact at Fahua Temple not only reached the Madam and her family, but also attracted the attention of other families in the capital.
