Today is another weekend without going to school, and Mademoiselle de Léoland has once again visited the Marquis de Treville at the palace with a hint of apprehension in her heart, as agreed beforehand.

Mademoiselle Léolang, who had just become a wealthy heiress, had not yet learned how to have the confidence of a rich man, but at least she was already beginning to learn to groom herself. Changing from the dark clothes of the past, she is wearing a light blue silk dress today, and she is also wearing a string of thin pearl necklaces, which trims her fair neck more slender, and her newly ironed curls also bring her a hint of adult atmosphere.

However, it is fair to say that since she listened to Charles's advice that day, Miss Leolan, who became rich in Chad, has been more cautious in spending her money. She bought a small apartment in a second-class neighborhood near here, and lived a secluded life, rarely participating in activities that cost a lot of money. Even the carriages were rented for a long time, only 2,400 francs a year, which was neither shabby nor extravagant, just within the range of one's annual budget.

Today's dress is already a rare luxury for her.

When she arrived at the Lord's Mansion, Fran soon came out to receive her in the small reception room. At the sight of her, Fran's eyes lit up, and she looked at her again. "Oh, you're a bright man today, Mary!"

"Who can compare to you......" Mary blushed a little.

"It's rare to dress up well, don't say such deliberately modest words, I'll be angry! This dress is about a thousand francs, right? How smooth! Fran reached out and gently rubbed her friend's skirt, then sighed, "Whoever says money is the root of all evil, I think it's a good thing to be rich...... I can't wear such a nice dress."

"Is it pretty? I've been choosing this for a long time. Mary couldn't help but be overjoyed to see Fran compliment herself on her choice of dress. It's a little expensive, but it feels good. But, Fran, I'll be honest with you, I think whatever you wear, it's going to look the best when you put it on. ”

"You're really, didn't you tell you not to keep picking up nice things to say?" Fran smiled happily, then took her friend's hand, "Let's go, let's go to my room." ”

"Well, let's go." Mary did a good job of hiding her inner apprehension, asking in an almost completely casual tone. "By the way, is your brother at home today, I don't seem to have seen him since I came in?"

Hearing this, Fran raised her eyebrows slightly, and the smile on her face unconsciously flashed a hint of darkness.

Mary was shocked, but continued to ask casually.

"What's wrong, Fran? Isn't he at home? ”

"No, he's here." Fran replied dryly, then turned her face away. "It's just nesting in my room, not knowing what I'm doing."

"Huh? Did you quarrel with him? It looks like you're not happy about mentioning him. Concerned Mary asked again, barely able to hide it.

Fran shook her head. "Let's go to my room first."

When she got to the room, she had just sat down on Fran's bed, and Mary couldn't help but ask again. "Fran, what's wrong with you and your brother? You usually mention him a lot, but lately you've ......"

"You care about him." Fran said angrily.

"Huh? Well...... Uh...... "After a few seconds, Mary finally thought of the words. "I'm not concerned about you, don't you usually have a good relationship with your brother? But it seems that you rarely mention him lately, and even if you mention it, your look is very bad, is this weishenme? As far as I can see, your brother usually loves you very much, so he won't do anything to you, right? Think about my lesson...... I envy you so much, don't go my way. ”

"Hey......" The girl actually sighed, with a little loss and confusion in her eyes. Well, maybe it's better to talk to someone......"

"Well, tell me, I'll keep it a secret!" Mary looked at Fran.

"A while ago, my brother's former lover came to visit my house." Fran lowered her voice.

"Huh? Lover?! Who? Her friend exclaimed.

"It's just his former lover, and they've already broken up." Fran replied lightly. "She is the granddaughter of my grandfather's brother, the Duke of Treville, whose name is Charlotte. Count, it's my cousin, too. ”

"The granddaughter of the Duke of Treville?" Mary couldn't help but repeat it again. "Your cousin?"

Oops! Both the Duke's granddaughter and her cousin! The relationship has come to this point, and it is still such a rich family! How is this good...... However, it seems that they have broken up?

"Already separated?" She double-checked.

"Well, yes, just two years ago." Fran replied.

"And what if she wants to come and visit again?" There was a slight tremor in Mary's voice, but neither of them noticed it. "Do you want to start over with Charles?"

"She's so scheming, who knows what she thinks." Fran said coldly. "But looking at my brother's appearance that day, it's obvious that he is a little distracted, and it seems that he still hasn't forgotten Charlotte in his heart."

"Well......" Mary was a little dejected. So what do you think...... This one...... What about Charlotte? ”

"Do you want to know?"

"Hmm."

"I hate her, very, very much about her." Fran replied word for word. "I didn't like her since I was a child, she was too strict, and I'm afraid I'll never learn to be gentle."

Mariton was pleasantly surprised. "That's right......"

"I'm afraid that's what she thinks of me over there." Fran's blue eyes were full of girlish melancholy at the moment, "She also dislikes me too, and even hates me a little, yes, I can see it." If, I mean if...... If one day she does marry her brother, I'm afraid I will be married away by her, to Russia, or America, or God knows what, and one day you will never see me...... I'm serious! Every time I see her smiling at me, I shudder when I see her eyes when she smiles, I know she's going to do this to me! ”

"Wouldn't it?!" Mary exclaimed.

"Really. So Mary, since she came again that day, I'm so scared, afraid that one day my brother will abandon me, will not want me, and throw me to the ends of the earth......" Fran hung her head and squeezed her friend's hand.

"No, your brother loves you so much, how could he bear to let you suffer?" Mary comforted her immediately.

"Maybe not at once, but what if Charlotte keeps instigating him? There's no guarantee that one day he will be confused......" Fran still lowered her head, "Charlotte you haven't seen this person, so I don't know, she is extremely arrogant and stubborn in her heart, and she never swears to give up until she achieves her goal, so I'm really afraid of ......"

Mary hugged her friend tightly. "Don't be afraid, my friend, I will never let this happen, no matter what. You saved me, so I'm going to do my best to save you. Don't worry! ”

"Xiexie you, Mary!" Fran hugged each other as well.

"No wonder you've been a little distracted lately, and you haven't concentrated on painting, and you've been criticized by your teacher." Mary also sighed, "So they were all worried about this kind of thing......"

"Don't mention that...... Fran's face flushed again, "I know I should concentrate on drawing during class, but when that happens, I always think about what I will do if that Charlotte guy snatches my brother away, and I can't help but think, Mary!" ”

"My friend!" Mary couldn't help but hug her tighter again.

Should we just watch one of France's most delicious flowers wither and wither? No, never!

Well, I'm helping Fran, I'm going to save Fran! In this way, the girl found in her heart a noble reason for her actions.

"But you don't have to worry too much, Fran." She began to comfort Fran again. "As you said, didn't they break up before? That means there must be a lot of irreparable differences between them, and as long as this difference can't be bridged, then they can't get back together? ”

"Divergent...... Divergence...... "Fran silently read twice. "Just keep them divided...... Keep the divide ......"

"Isn't that so?" Mary asked rhetorically.

Fran bit her lip and thought for a moment.

"You make so much sense! xiexie you, Mary! After a few moments, Fran seemed to notice something, looked up at her friend, and smiled. You're really a good friend of mine! ”

"Of course I am, and always will be." Mary smiled too.

"Well, I see." Fran's eyes regained their brightness. "It's great that I have a friend like you, and with your help, I'll never have to worry about nightmares."

Looking at the delicate girl who was radiant again, Mary's heart couldn't help but be overwhelmed. Then she sighed softly.

"My dear friend, if I were your brother, I would never turn my back on such a lovely and kind angel, and I would never let her suffer, not for the rest of my life."

Unexpectedly, Fran's reaction was very strange.

"Angels?" Fran lowered her head again. "I'm not an angel. My friend, I sinned two years ago, I disobeyed my Heavenly Father's teachings, I lied and I did bad things. But I don't regret it, I'm glad for my sins. ”

"You will not commit any sins, Fran, and God will bless you forever." Mary hugged her tighter again.

"God won't bless me." A little teardrop appeared in Fran's eyes.

"I'd rather not have it if I could."
