Until the night finally fell, Charlotte's sorrow was still not over, her tears seemed to be unstoppable, and they flowed freely, obviously from joy to shock, this great ups and downs brought a great impact on her spirit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, crying doesn't solve the problem, in the end they still have to face the problem and find a way to solve it.

Considering that Charlotte's body was too weak and her mood was too bad, Charles asked the servants to bring dinner to the room at that time, so when it was time to eat, the servants carefully brought the meal in, gently placed it on the table next to it, and then immediately retreated, without making any sound in the middle.

They also heard about what happened today, so they were all highly nervous, and they didn't dare to come out in front of the master and his wife, for fear that they would accidentally become a tool for them to vent their anger.

"Wait!" As they were leaving, Charles suddenly stopped the servant, and then pointed to the cradle next to him, "Send the young master to feed, he must be hungry." ”

"Sir?" The servant was a little startled, and then glanced at Charlotte on the bed with a nervous look.

In order to raise her own child, Charlotte had prepared a nurse for the child in her womb before the due date, but now that this situation was in which the servant really did not know whether to do so, he was a little hesitant and wanted to hear the advice of his wife again.

Obviously, if they were going to extinguish all the criticism, there would be no need for a nursing mother, and the baby would die immediately.

"Don't send it yet!" Charles got impatient and raised his voice again, "Are you all lazy to get used to it!" ”

"Yes! Be! The servant did not dare to slack off any longer, and hurriedly obeyed Charles's order and pushed the cradle cart away.

Judging from the attitude of His Excellency the Minister, he has understood that the master and his wife have reached a tacit understanding that regardless of other concerns, this child must be left behind - that is, the cradle will be a young master, not some poor child who "died in an accident".

What a lucky kid. The servant said in his heart.

And when the cradle left, Charlotte, who was lying on the bed, also kept looking at the child, he didn't cry, just opened his eyes to look at the world he had just descended on, it was the clear eyes of a baby, innocent, innocent, and he didn't know how much trouble he had caused.

Poor child...... She sighed inwardly.

Where in the world can there be a mother who can kill her own child?

"Charles, what should we do?" After the door was closed again, Charlotte barely held back her tears, cheered up, and whispered to her husband.

"What to do? Wouldn't it be better to continue on the trajectory of your previous life? Charles had already made up his mind, so he replied very simply, "I don't see any need for us to change. ”

"I don't want to change either, but ...... But......" Charlotte hesitated, "didn't all this happen?" If anyone criticizes us......"

"As long as the two of us are steadfast, no one can criticize us." Charles replied calmly, "I am the Minister of the Empire, and if anyone criticizes you, he must weigh the consequences himself. Paris is a city of turmoil, and there are countless news stories every day, and if we face the reality with an awe-inspiring attitude, it won't be long before people forget about it and find something else to talk about...... Charlotte, as long as the two of us are firm and face the next thing together, there will be no problem! ”

Of course, Charles is not as easy as it seems, in his position, of course, he is a high-ranking and majestic, but he also has countless enemies, after making such a thing, it will definitely provoke a lot of people's criticism, and there will be all kinds of unbearable rumors and rumors, in order to vent his jealousy or hatred for him, but he also knows that Charlotte is so weak now, he must show a steadfast side in order to help her through this difficulty, otherwise the pain and self-blame will completely crush her.

After all, there are scandals and filth in high society, and there are countless absurdities, and the current Emperor of the French Empire, His Mother, Princess Ottus, the stepdaughter of the Emperor Napoleon, was married to Napoleon's younger brother, King Louis Bonaparte of the Netherlands, and after giving birth to two sons after marriage, she gave birth to an illegitimate child with her lover? And it was well known at the time.

This illegitimate son, Mr. Morni, is still serving as the Minister of the Interior of the Empire, and few people will attack His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency the Minister for this matter, which shows how high the tolerance of the upper class society is for this matter.

So Charles knew that as long as the two of them stood firmly together, and showed an awe-inspiring posture that would never spare any critics, then the matter would eventually pass, and it would soon pass, and no one would pursue it.

Charlotte was greatly moved by Charles's statement, because she knew what her husband's character was willing to make such a statement. She couldn't help but grab Charles' hand and almost burst into tears again.

"Thank you, Charles...... I love you. "Actually, I don't care what other people think of me, no matter what they say, we Trevier are higher than them...... I'm only afraid of you, afraid that you will doubt me! As long as you are by my side, I don't have to worry about anything. By the way, what about Grandpa? Didn't he come over today? He...... What did he say? ”

Charlotte's family concept is very heavy, and what she is most afraid of is not only being suspected by her husband, but also being disallowed by her family, so after Charles's statement, she wanted to ask her family's attitude as soon as possible.

And this question immediately made Charles feel a little embarrassed.

He had seen Grandpa's anger with his own eyes, and I am afraid that he would not be angry for just one day.

After seeing Lelouch's appearance, he ...... He got angry and left. After hesitating for a long time, Charles told the truth, "But don't worry, I'll convince him...... The old man has a big temper, and it's okay. ”

Although Charles was quick to comfort her, Charlotte grabbed Charles' hand, and her face suddenly twisted in pain.

As the younger brother of the late old duke, and now the eldest person in the family, Charlotte now respects the Marquis of Treville the most, so when she hears the old marquis so angry, she will naturally be very distressed.

"I ...... What should I do? Grandpa didn't believe me either! She couldn't help but moan, "Oh God! Why do you suddenly send such a scourge down on me? ”

"Charlotte! Don't be discouraged! Charles quickly stopped her, "It's just that it's a little hard to accept the reality at first...... It won't be long before he changes his mind, after all, this is also his great-grandson...... And don't worry, as long as I am here, no one in the family will stand up to question you! ”

"Hope...... I hope so......" Charlotte muttered to herself, closing her eyes again, as another tear rolled down her pillow.

"You...... You eat something first, and then take a good rest, and don't worry about such trivial things anymore...... Just after giving birth to a child, it's like this, and it's not good for your health. Charles lovingly stroked his wife's cheek, then brought a bowl of soup from the side, then scooped a spoonful of soup and handed it to Charlotte's mouth, "Come, open your mouth......

Charlotte looked at her husband in amazement, as if she was facing him for the first time, she did not expect that she would receive such unreserved support from Charles when she was at her most difficult.

For a moment, a great sense of security enveloped her heart. She seemed to feel that as long as her husband was next to her, even if it was a big disaster, it was not worth worrying about anymore.

After all, I got happiness...... Husband, children, glory, don't they all already have?

Charlotte opened her mouth and drank the soup, the warm soup that made her body warm and courageous again.

With Charles' comfort, Charlotte finally recovered from the initial blow and fell into a deep sleep, and after she fell asleep, Charles carefully left the room, and after a hard day's work, he was also hungry and physically and mentally exhausted.

At this time, a group of people also gathered in the restaurant.

Charles's father-in-law, the Duke of Treville, sat on the throne, and Charlotte's brothers, Philip and Eugène, had already arrived and sat next to him, and even Fran was already seated, sitting furthest from the door.

It can be said that, in addition to the Marquis of Treville, the members of the Treville family have already gathered.

However, these people were very solemn in their expressions, their brows were furrowed, and they did not have the warm atmosphere that a family gathering should have, but they were facing some major crisis. The table was full of dinner dishes, but there seemed to be no trace of them moving.

The Duke of Treville and his two sons had arrived after hearing the news from Charles, while Fran had come in place of her grandfather, and the Marquis of Treville did not seem to have recovered from his rage, so he refused to be present himself.

As soon as he saw Charles come to the restaurant, the Duke of Treville, who was originally full of solemnity, suddenly relaxed a lot, and reluctantly showed a smile, "Charles, are you here?" Eat something first, you must be hungry, right? Come...... Sit down with me. ”

Charles didn't speak, obediently walked over to his father-in-law, and sat down.

"Let's have dinner, but don't let the food get cold." As soon as he sat down, he said directly.

His stomach was already very hungry, and he was not in the mood to say anything polite, so after finishing speaking, he directly picked up the utensils and began to eat.

As soon as they heard him say this, they all had to start moving, and finally they had dinner.

Charlotte...... How is Charlotte doing now? After all, it was a father-daughter connection, and after a while, the Duke of Trevill couldn't help but ask, "Is she better now?" ”

"She's much better now." Charles smiled, "After giving birth, her body was a little weak and needed to recuperate, so I had food delivered to her, and I hope you don't bother her yet, okay?" ”

"Yes...... Yes, of course, yes! The Duke of Treville nodded repeatedly.

Then, his voice lowered, "That'...... What are you going to do about the kid? ”

"Child's business? Of course, according to the original plan? As if he didn't understand, Charles looked at the other man curiously, "What are you going to do?" ”

"That'...... That's great. The duke nodded slightly, although he didn't understand what his son-in-law meant, but judging from his son-in-law's expression, he was not very angry, which made him a little more relaxed.

"So, have you figured out how to deal with this?" Next, he cautiously asked. "I'm afraid the news will spread soon......"

"I don't understand what's there to worry about." Charles straightened his face and looked unhappy, "My wife gave birth to our second child, this is something to be happy about, what does it have to do with others?" What qualifications do they have? My wife and I are now very happy because we have another son, and our family continues to thrive and thrive thanks to our efforts - and if anyone says anything bad about this and spoils our mood, then I will let him know what regret is! ”

"Oh! That's it! Charles's answer surprised the Duke, who did not expect such a statement.

From the tone of the son-in-law, the duke found that the relationship between the couple had not broken down because of this incident, but on the contrary, they planned to continue to raise the children according to the normal situation, which immediately made the duke relieved - what he was most afraid of was that the young and promising son-in-law was furious because of this incident, and regarded Charlotte as the culprit, and even angered himself, and now he saw that the crisis was lifted in the bud, which naturally relieved him.

Under normal circumstances, after getting another grandson, he would meet this grandson as soon as he came to his son-in-law, just like Clovis had just been born, but now he dared to mention this stubble.

"Charles, I see what you mean, and I'm glad you were able to give Charlotte such support...... Really, she loves you so much, I don't believe she would do anything bad. This incident will definitely hit her hard, but as long as you support her, she will definitely be able to get through it. He looked at his son-in-law with great emotion, and then said to him, "Don't worry, if anyone outside has cool words, it will not be able to get along with me, although I am old, but my body is still good, and I can still play with guns!" ”

"Yes, if anyone says bad things about Charlotte, I will duel him!" The young Eugène also expressed his position at this time, "I just try my best and will not let people ruin her reputation." ”

He has had a good relationship with his sister Charlotte since he was a child, has always been taken care of by her, and is the most supportive of his sister, and when his grandfather died, he was also the first to agree to his grandfather's will and let Charlotte inherit the family business. Therefore, at this time, he can't help but express his position.

At this time, Philip, who had not spoken, couldn't sit still, he didn't like his sister, and the two of them were quite discordant before, but when his father and younger brother both expressed their positions, he couldn't say a word, so he had to nod his head too. "Charles, I'll keep an eye on my friends, and I'll never let people gossip about her."

"Thank you." Charles nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Fran, "Is Grandpa feeling better now?" ”

"Still angry......," Fran replied in a whisper, "when he first came back, he was furious and threw a vase......

Ay...... Charles sighed inwardly.

"What is Grandpa's attitude? Did he tell you anything? He asked again.

"Grandpa said that he was old, and all he valued was dignity and the honor of the family, so he ...... So he won't swallow his anger and won't ...... I won't watch myself and my grandson being fooled, even if my grandson wants to...... He couldn't accept wanting to be fooled. Fran hesitated for a moment, filtered through the more unpleasant words of his grandfather, and said as calmly as he could, "When I came, he told me that he must investigate and find out the truth, otherwise Hugh will not want to ...... Hugh wanted to call him as if nothing had happened. ”

That's what he meant by the fact that he wanted to investigate on his own.

Charles frowned.

The atmosphere became awkward again.

The Duke of Tréville couldn't sit still. "Charles, why don't we check it out? It's better to wash Charlotte's innocence and let the old man rest easy......"

In fact, he wants to calm things the most, but at this time, he is the least able to play a round or defend his daughter, so he can only follow the old man's wishes.

"Yes, Charles, let's take a look at the old man...... Let him and Charlotte reconcile, and that's good for everyone. Philip also helped.

However, just as he was speaking energetically, Charles glared at him, a fierce look that made him swallow the rest of his words.

Charles knew that once this kind of investigation began, no matter whether Charlotte was innocent or not, she would be difficult to wash away in the eyes of others, and if she was wronged for no reason, and was suspected by her own relatives, then she would probably be unable to bear such a blow.

So even if it was Grandpa's idea and was echoed by others, Charles didn't plan to budge this time.

After a long silence, Charles looked at Fran as if asking for help. "Miss Treville...... What do you think? Do you agree with grandpa? ”

When asked, Fran was stunned.

In her position, and with Charlotte so deep, what she wants most is naturally to fall into the well, mock Charlotte fiercely, and plant the seeds of doubt in everyone's hearts by the way.

She also knew what to say, "We should not doubt Charlotte, although she usually likes to socialize and feast, and enjoys the compliments and admiration of everyone, but that is just her lively nature, and I absolutely believe that nothing dishonorable happens......"

However, when she was seen by her brother, she already understood it completely in her heart.

She knew that her brother didn't want to hear her answer like that.

Since he didn't want to hear this, she didn't want to say it either.

"I ...... I just paraphrased my grandfather's words, and that's not my personal opinion. She looked at Charles steadily, and then replied, "With what I know and know about Charlotte, Charlotte probably wouldn't do such a thing...... Doing some investigation for no reason will only break her heart and make everyone ...... It is not necessary to make everyone feel at peace, we should unite and smash any gossip. ”

For the first time in her life, she said good things to Charlotte, which made her feel a little painful, so there were several pauses, but finally she said it. "I'll persuade him on Grandpa's side, although the old man is a little stubborn, he won't be unreasonable, it's just a matter of time......"

"Well, that's it, Caesar's wife is beyond doubt." Charles said coldly, "I've already told Grandpa that we can't do this anyway, and we shouldn't put an extra burden on Charlotte anyway, that's it!" ”

With his words, the restaurant suddenly fell silent again, and even the meal stopped.

The Tréville siblings were firm enough for everyone to understand that this was the final verdict.

Some were relieved, others were a little disappointed, but in any case, from Charles's steadfast attitude, they already knew that the relationship between this couple was indeed deep, and he would never tolerate any unprovoked attacks on her.

As long as there is such an attitude, I am afraid that the turmoil will pass quickly.

At this moment, the servants brought Clovis and the newborn child with him, and the newborn child soon became the center of attention.

And this baby, perhaps because he had just been fed milk, was very energetic, and looked at the elders in the restaurant with wide round eyes, and his purple pupils flashed with a strange light.

"God, no wonder uncle is so angry!" As soon as he saw the strange appearance of this baby, the duke sighed in his heart, and for a while he couldn't go over and caress his grandson.

Ignoring it, Charles walked over to the stroller and reached out to stroke him, taking the opportunity to show his unwavering support for the young son in front of the family members.

Fran also left her seat, walked over to the child, and then reached out and stroked the child's smooth skin as well, and looked at the child.

This child, who seems to have an "ominous omen", caused such a big storm as soon as he was born, and he was almost killed as if he had never been born.

Who knows if he will suffer other disasters in the future? May God bless you.

"Poor boy." A maternal touch occupied her heart, and she couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"His name is Lerouc." Charles said next to her, "Looks like he's smart, right?" ”

"I'm so envious......" Fran said suddenly.

"Huh?" Charles don't know why.

"She has children, or two, everything, even in distress and your unwavering support...... I'm so envious! Fran's breath was short, and she was obviously in a mood swing, "Sir, if I am in such a calamity, you ...... Will you support me as well? ”

Charles looked at her strangely, not understanding why she asked.

But of course, the answer is not to be guessed.

"Absolutely." He said calmly.

"Great......" Fran closed her eyes.
