"In that case, you can explain it to Charlotte for me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Charles's request made his father-in-law embarrassed again.

As her father, the Duke certainly knew how stubborn Charlotte was, and it was extremely difficult for her to change her views if she insisted on herself, and even she might not be able to convince her.

In particular, now that she is the heir to the estate of the previous duke, and the family property is in her hands, which makes her even more qualified to be stubborn, at least the duke himself does not have the capital to make her change her mind.

"Charles, I'll just convince my wife, Charlotte is your wife, this ...... This should be left to you to deal with......" After thinking about it, he also made a difficulty, and finally could only say to his son-in-law with a wry smile.

"If I could easily convince her, would we still need to come to you today?" Charles asked angrily.

All of a sudden, Weng and his son-in-law were in trouble, and they were relatively speechless, and they also knew that this was the biggest obstacle.

"Since you brought this matter up, you should solve it." After a while, the Duke finally opened his breath, "Charles, it's all come this far, what else is there to be afraid of?" Let's be honest, wouldn't she take your opinion into account? As for me, of course I'll beat the side drum for you, and as long as the two of us talk well, Charlotte will listen too. ”

"This is your son's life's work, is it appropriate for me to say it?" Charles resolutely rejected his father-in-law's offer, and instead encouraged the duke. "No matter what, you are the father after all, and the father has the most say in his son's marriage, as long as you nod, will anyone still disobey?"

"But......" the Duke looked even more embarrassed, and finally simply sighed, "...... We can take a long-term view of this matter, so let's take our time. ”

Are you so afraid of your daughter? Looking at the Duke's performance, Charles couldn't help but cry and laugh again.

However, he didn't understand that the duke was not only afraid of his daughter, but also felt that he did not keep the family style of "only marrying famous families", so he felt a little ashamed of his ancestors and felt a little embarrassed in front of Charlotte, who adhered to principles.

"Well, in that case, I'll talk about it, but you have to take a stand!" Eventually, Charles grew impatient. "Please think clearly, such a good thing may not be possible in the future, Philip is about to turn thirty, don't you want to see yourself have an heir to your grandchildren sooner?"

"Yes, yes, I understand, of course I understand......," the Duke nodded as if he had been granted amnesty.

Seeing him like this, Charles already understood, he was now completely convinced by himself. But this is also normal, millions of dowries, and a glorious future in the future, which father will not be tempted, for most people, any principle, after all, there is still a price.

Then, it's time to bring out something deeper.

"Actually...... Philip was also very concerned about this, and to be honest, he also had a grudge against Charlotte. "So I'm doing this to bridge the gap between the two siblings, and it's a great thing for the future of the family." ”

There was no need for Charles to explain, the Duke certainly knew where Philip's resentment came from, and he could only sigh with a sinking face. "Hey...... Charles, you have this heart, that's great, to be honest, I've been worrying about this matter, of course Philip can understand his father's good intentions, but anyone in such a situation will have resentment...... You can think of finding some compensation for him, and I thank you for him. ”

And in order to thank me, he also took the initiative to make a guarantee for me." Charles suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but forced on, "He intends to be my child's protector." ”

"What else does your child need from him to protect him? His godfather is His Majesty the Emperor......" The Duke laughed for a moment, and then he suddenly sensed that something was not quite right.

"It's me and Mary's child." Charles added, and the Duke froze.

The duke looked at his son-in-law in amazement, speechless for a long time.

Charles was calm on the surface, but he was actually embarrassed in his heart, after all, it was really not a good experience to tell his father-in-law that he had an illegitimate child outside.

But now that things have come to this point, there is no turning back. "I know this may be a sad news, but ...... Now that it's happened, we have to face it. ”

"You...... You ......" the Duke still looked at him stunned, but finally regained his senses, and then sighed, "Ah...... Charles, why bother yourself? Wouldn't it be nice to send the money away? ”

He was actually not particularly surprised, he knew Mary, and he had heard a lot of rumors, so he knew that Mary was Charles's mistress, but everyone was like this these days, so the Duke himself didn't take it seriously, and everyone knew it.

What really shocked him was that Charles was actually planning to have a child with Mary, and he was also going to take care of this illegitimate child, which was essentially different from playing, and God knows how much trouble would happen.

"There's no way to send it away, Mary has followed me for so long and done so many things for us, how can I send it away?" Charles answered the question honestly, "I paid her a lot, she didn't want it, she said she just wanted to have children with me and make life a little fun in the future......"

"Doesn't having children mean that you have everything? Women are all routines...... She's so smart. The Duke laughed a little sarcastically, "Then she has succeeded now...... What about Charlotte? ”

"I can't let her know for the time being, let's hide it first." Charles could only sigh. "I'm really sorry for her......

However, sighing and sighing, he is not resigned to fate. Unconsciously, he has isolated Charlotte, which can be regarded as a precaution, even if the couple breaks up because of these things in the future, at least the loss will be within a controllable range, and there is still room for recovery.

"So, you're telling me right now that my son-in-law had a child with another woman, and then asked me to do something that didn't happen, and keep it a secret?" The Duke looked at Charles with a strange expression, "Can I understand that?" ”

Charles was even more embarrassed, but although it was ugly, it was indeed reality, so he couldn't argue, so he could only nod silently, "I'm willing to make amends for this, and I'm already making amends." ”

"Is there really no way to change it?" The Duke still didn't seem to give up, "Charles, play and play, I can understand you, it's normal to accidentally play with a child, but why do you need to do this?" Is it good not to recognize it? ”

"Mary is important, and ...... After all, it's my child. Charles lowered his head, "If I really throw it aside and let the child kill himself, I can't stand it." ”

"It's just that it's amorous again." The Duke didn't know whether to sigh or complain, only sighed, but at last he became serious. "Well, you promise me that Charlotte is your wife after all, and her children must be your heirs, and that can never be changed—can you promise me?"

Now that the wood is complete, he can't change anything, and to be honest, he is not particularly angry, and what he is most afraid of is that his grandson cannot inherit his son-in-law's inheritance, and this point is resolutely uncompromising.

"Promise me!" He immediately urged again.

"That's never going to change, I swear." Charles also became solemn, "Clovis is my eldest son and my destined heir, and Charlotte and my children will be the natural heirs of the family business I have gathered, no matter what happens, this will not change." ”

The Duke had been watching his son-in-law swear, although he knew that swearing didn't mean much to a politician, but after hearing such a resolute oath, his heart finally relaxed a lot.

In that case, there are no obstacles.

"Okay, then Philip will do what he has to do." Finally, he nodded, "I'll take care of that kid too." ”

In this way, Weng and his son-in-law reached a verbal agreement, although they had their own thoughts in their hearts, but driven by interests and feelings, they still stood on a unified position after all.

They came out of the study together, and Charlotte, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately greeted them.

"How's it going, Daddy? Did you convince him? ”

To her disappointment, her father did not answer her question, but dodged slightly.

She immediately knew something was wrong in her heart, and looked at her husband with wide eyes.

"Charlotte, after our discussion, Dad agreed with me, and he felt that what I was doing was the safest ...... for Philip," Charles said apologetically.

"You...... What kind of ecstasy soup did you pour your dad? Charlotte's face sank instantly, and then she looked at her father with a sad heart, "Dad, have you forgotten the honor of our family?" ”

The Duke still dodged her gaze, looking left and right.

"I'm sorry, Charlotte, but on second thought, there's no better choice for Philip...... Let's make his life easier in the future. ”

"How can it be easy for him to walk with the nouveau riche?" Charlotte asked aloud, "What about the ridicule of the social community then?" You...... How could you make such a decision? ”

"The social community won't laugh at him, it's too late to envy him." Charles replied with a pretended lightheartedness. "After all, few people can get as many dowries as him, and there is a bright future in the future."

Charlotte immediately glared at him, and her long golden hair trembled with it. "It's not because you...... Good work you do! You've thrown our family crest into the mud! So you're happy! ”

"Don't say that......" Charles tried to lighten the mood.

"What else can I say? If you don't like the person I'm looking for, then you can just find a better one, with your power, can't you really find a better daughter of a family? But you didn't look for it, you just found a nouveau riche daughter for Philip for your own liking, and then asked someone else to thank Dade! The more Charlotte spoke, the more excited she became, almost crying, "Do you know how much effort I've put into this? I don't ask for anything else, it's not for this family, why don't you ever understand! ”

"Alright, daughter!" Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel again, the duke couldn't stand it anymore, and finally set his eyes on his daughter, "Don't fight, in fact, I have been thinking about this for a long time, and finally think about it, now that the money is more secure, let Philip live in wealth in the future, and we will talk about what honor later." Okay, there's no need to talk about it, don't hurt your feelings about it......"

Although the duke said it very tactfully, it was enough to make Charlotte desperate, she didn't know how Charles persuaded her father, but since his father had spoken, she couldn't overturn it directly.

After all, is there a more powerful way than the life of a parent?

She only felt very uncomfortable, she never imagined that her father would agree to such a ridiculous thing. I didn't expect that my sincerity would be exchanged for such a result, and her husband and father would humiliate her previous efforts in such a way.

"Well, you can do whatever you like, but I'm definitely not going to attend their wedding." After being silent for a long time, she finally raised her head and looked coldly at the two Weng sons-in-law. "Don't think about what help I give to that young lady, whether it's at my house or in the palace, she won't be entertained by me, you go tell her, when we meet, please don't be bored!"

With that, she turned around and left, leaving behind two people who looked at each other.

"Well, well, that's a solution." After a long time, the Duke let out a long sigh, "Charles, stay with me tonight, or you will have to quarrel when you go back." ”

"Okay." Charles also replied lightly, "Let the marriage be finalized as soon as possible, before I leave France, so as not to cause trouble." ”
