By the time Charles left the Duke's palace in Treville, he had become much more settled, and he had no longer been nervous. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As he had predicted, after some struggle, the Duke of Treville finally decided to put the interests of his family first and stood firmly by his side.

The Duke was indeed very painful, after all, he did not want to make such a decision, but he had no choice, in his position, he had to make long-term plans for his family, and he could not support his daughter to break with her son-in-law for some emotional reasons, because it would greatly harm the interests of the family.

He is Charlotte's father, no matter how much Charlotte hates iron and steel, he is still a father, and he is also one of the apparent leaders of the Treville family today, after he made a statement, Charlotte could not ignore his father's position and will, which also allowed Charles to better guard against Charlotte's possible future moves.

On Philip's side, there was not even a painful entanglement, he almost did not hesitate to side with his sister-in-law, he was originally dissatisfied with the fact that Charlotte occupied most of the inheritance after his grandfather's death, and wanted to rebel against Charlotte's tyrannical rule over his family from the beginning, so he immediately expressed his position after encountering this opportunity.

He even deliberately told Charles that in order to prevent Charlotte, he could stand up and go as a brother to win over his grandfather's old friends first, so that the inheritance left by his grandfather would not be snatched away by Charlotte.

Charles deliberately explained to the duke's father and son, just as a preparation, he couldn't bear to be held hostage by his wife, it didn't mean that he was ready to do so, he personally didn't want Charlotte to break with him at all.

When he returned home, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Agnes had arrived in his mansion.

She must have been called by Charlotte on purpose.

However, Agnes today is different from the simple appearance of the past, she is dressed in a full dress, a purple dress with lace and a knot buttoned around the waist. Her chestnut hair was also combed down according to the fashionable hairstyle, as if she had come to attend some grand event.

This kind of dress preference is not at all like Agnes in the past, and Charles immediately guesses that it is Charlotte when she sees it, because she is the only one who likes such a magnificent outfit.

However, although it is a bit uncommon to dress up like this, I have to say that it is really good-looking, and after such a dress, it makes Agnes even more pretty.

The ten years of wandering outside did not detract from her appearance, but added a lot of charm to her, and the expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling showed that she was well-informed and knew everything.

"Aunt Agnes, long time no see!" After a moment's scrutiny, Charles greeted Agnes. "You're dressed up so beautifully today!"

It was the first time he had seen Agnes after many days, so he was in a good mood. Although he was a little dissatisfied with her beating his sister before, this dissatisfaction disappeared when he saw his aunt again, after all, she was the one who took care of them since childhood.

"It's really a decent compliment, nothing new, but sweet words are always better than bad words." Agnes smiled lightly and narrowed her eyes slightly, "This dress was chosen for me by your wife, and I feel good, I can't disgrace His Excellency Chancellor Trevil and her wife, can I?" ”

"I think you look good in any way you dress." Charles immediately complimented again, "Simplicity also has the charm of simplicity." ”

"Bastard, it's really grown, one by one." Agnes smiled even more heartily, and what woman in the world didn't like to hear compliments.

But after laughing for a moment, she raised her hand and patted Charles's shoulder again. "Okay, don't waste your efforts on me with those Fengyue routines in the social arena, leave these beautiful words to your wife, she is worthy of such compliments in this world."

"I also compliment her very carefully." Charles could hear what Agnes was saying, and immediately spoke.

"I'm not kidding you." Perhaps thinking that Charles's attitude was still not serious enough, Agnes told him again, "Charlotte loves you so much, thinks about you all the time, and continues the bloodline for you...... If you still dare to be sorry for her, is that reasonable? ”

As she spoke, she habitually patted Charles' shoulder again, and unconsciously took out the style she used to teach Charles more than ten years ago, "Really, treat your wife well, she deserves all your efforts to care for and pamper." ”

"I see, thanks for the reminder." Charles could only hang his gaze in embarrassment. "I'll give her everything I can get, and she'll have a status that's the envy of all......"

"I say, are you really smart or stupid? Or are you playing dumb? Agnes couldn't help but laugh angrily, "What kind of status and wealth, hasn't she been used to seeing it since she was a child?" She married you because she loves you, and all she wants is for you to love her with all your heart...... Love, this thing is a very uncommon thing in our society, it is a kind of luck to be able to come across it, you should not turn this luck away. ”

"I will." Charles had to nod.

This kind of untrue answer was not what Agnes wanted to hear.

"Oh, I almost forgot, it's not just Miss Tréville who loves you with all my heart, that lady...... Hasn't she given up? Agnes frowned slightly, and there was something indescribable in her eyes, "It's a full continuation of your father's bloodline......

There are some dangerous things contained in this ridiculous tone, which makes Charles a little uneasy, and it can even be said that he is a little afraid.

"She already knows it's wrong, you...... You don't have to worry so much. ”

"Does she know it's wrong? I don't believe it, I can see that despite her evil nature, she is very strong-willed, and she is definitely not the kind of person who will give up easily. Agnes narrowed her eyes again and looked at Charles carefully, as if she was weighing what was in his heart, "Although I taught her a lesson last time, she was not convinced at all, and she didn't even admit her mistakes, which is really good. Of course, this is also because of your protection...... Charles, tell me honestly, what the hell do you think of her? Are you really complacent about it? ”

"It's not complacent, I've been troubled by it......" Of course, Charles didn't dare to say that he had agreed to his sister's request now, so he had to be vague, "This problem is really a headache, maybe it's all the lack of our previous education......"

"What's the headache if you don't have that kind of mind?" Agnes still sneered, "Is it so helpless to teach disobedient children?" ”

"She's my sister, someone I've grown up with, and I certainly don't want her to get hurt." Worried, Charles couldn't help but say to Agnes, "So, I really felt embarrassed the last time you treated her like that......

"What, you want to stand up for your sister and crusade against me, a person who doesn't know what to do?" Agnes asked with a sneer. "After all, it's still reluctant, right?"

"If you have to say that, then it is, and I can't bear to let you do that to her again." Because he was really worried, Charles had to make it clear to Agnes, "Really, I beg you, no matter how much you hate her, don't treat her violently anymore, she really can't be hurt like this anymore...... Hate me if you want to hate it. ”

"Is this your threat? Or is it an order? Agnes frowned again and stared at Charles, her gaze a little more unkind.

"I didn't mean that!" Charles hurriedly defended to her, "I lost my mother when I was a child, and you have always taken care of me growing up, so I have a lot of respect for you, and I have never had any ill will towards you, and I have never even thought of being bad for you, but...... But I would also like to ask you to take care of my position, she is the closest person in my world, I have taken care of her for twenty years! Do you think I'm mean and ruthless enough to throw her away without moving? No, I can't, and I'm sure it's not what you want to see me that either. ”

Then, his expression darkened a little, "You don't know, she used to kill herself in anger at my refusal...... Almost...... I almost died, and I cried like a child when she lay dying in front of me, and I didn't cry like that when my mother died! So, I don't want to go through that grief again, you can watch her die, Charlotte can do it, but I definitely can't! I don't want to go through that feeling of being disillusioned anymore! ”

I have to say that Charles's statement does have some truth, so much so that Agnes had to be stunned for a moment.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to punch her anymore, and she doesn't look like a scared fist." After a long time, she had no choice but to shrug her shoulders, "The bond and family affection between brothers and sisters are originally a good thing, and no one can ignore it, but the evil in that child's blood has made this kind of family affection degenerate-what has changed is poisonous, and we must eliminate poisonous things, isn't it common sense in the world?" ”

Charles wanted to defend his sister, but he knew it would be futile, so he sighed. "Maybe, but no matter what kind of blood she is, I will continue to take care of her."

"What? Am I a wicked person now? Agnes raised her hand, as if to teach the ignorant boy a lesson again, "Ask yourself, who is all this for?" ”

"It's for me...... I am very grateful to you. Charles bowed to her, "Thank you for your generosity." ”

"For you, and for my poor sister who died. In addition, I want to make it clear to you that I just said that I would not beat her, but I did not say that I would ignore her and watch her dream of her evil desires come true. Considering my relationship with you, and my relationship with Charlotte, I don't think I can stand by when she asks for it......" Agnes let out a long sigh, "I originally wanted to enjoy life and not bother with other people's affairs, but Charlotte is so pitiful that it arouses my chivalrous heart, so I will work for your happiness, and defend your happiness and the happiness of your children at her request—what do you think, dear Chancellor?" Come to think of it, my skills can still be in your eyes, right? Of course...... I want to make it clear in advance that the price of my service is not low! ”

"I'll be glad you to be paid, Aunt Agnes, and no one else in Europe is so lucky to have your protection, and it's worth paying me anything." Charles was of course very happy, "I am also glad that my children are as fortunate as their father, and can grow up under your watchful eyes and teaching...... And this time, I will give them a happy childhood, and they will not have to go through so many terrible things like us. ”

"Yes, a happy childhood for children is more important than anything else, and it is worth working for. I watched my sister leave your two children behind, and my father disappeared again, but I was so worried that I went crazy! I'm afraid you'll suffer before you reach adulthood - phew, now it seems that I don't have to worry about one at all. As if touching the scene, Agnes suddenly felt something, sighed softly, and then looked at Charles again, "Anyway, I'm worthy of my sister, her children have grown up and have children...... Although I have no chance to get such happiness, it is enough for me to feel happy for her in heaven to see my sister get it. ”

"You're still young, aren't you?" Charles couldn't help but comfort the other party, "Your appearance is enough to fascinate any child of the family, as long as you want." ”

"What? Are you coming with me again? Agnes' face flushed slightly, and she immediately raised her hand and tapped him on the head, as she had done when she was a child, "I-don't eat this routine, don't shame me with this kind of meaty scene!" ”

Looking at you, it's not like you don't eat at all? Charles could only say it in his heart.

"Anyway, since you're nodding, it's all going to be easy." Agnes became serious again, "I'll move in and take care of Charlotte's mother and son, and by the way, that good sister who spies on you—don't blame me for not saying it sooner, if you dare to make Charlotte cry in the future, I'll beat you to death!" ”

"Okay, I got it." Charles could only reply with a wry smile.

Now, though, there is something that has to be mentioned.

"It's a great thing you're back, I'm struggling to find you - in the meantime, please limit your itinerary and try not to show up in public."

"Huh? What's wrong? Agnes asked rhetorically.

"You and Charlotte...... Well...... Some things in England are known to the British. Charles hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, "Of course, please keep it a secret from Charlotte, she doesn't need to know." ”
