As Charles had expected, the Marquis of Treville did not forget his promise, but was even more zealous than Charles. Only two days after teaching Charles a lesson, he woke up his grandson early in the morning, and then asked Charles to put off his business first, and rushed to the Duke of Treville's palace with the overjoyed Charles.

To Charles' satisfaction and admiration, as a former cavalry general, the Marquis of Treville has always done things in this way - vigorously and resolutely, doing what he says, and never letting fleeting fighters slip away in vain. Even at this age, he is still so actionable.

However, to be honest, along the way, Charles was still a little nervous, he was afraid that Charlotte had not turned a corner yet, and still insisted on refusing his request, which resulted in letting the grandfather and grandson run for nothing, and causing his grandfather to lose face, and as a result, Charlotte herself was even more blamed by her family.

"Grandpa......" After enduring it for a long time, Charles finally made up his mind to speak, "We're just going to visit Charlotte today, if she still doesn't listen today...... Please don't blame her too much, okay? ”

"Scared! Sir, you know how to cherish your fiancée at this time, what are you doing earlier?! Upon hearing his grandson say this, the Marquis of Treville asked Charles with some mockery, "Why didn't you worry about it when you were fooling around outside?" ”

"Grandpa, don't talk about this, okay?" Grandpa's ridicule made Charles's face a little hot, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. "At that time...... It wasn't like I didn't think about it at the time...... It's just that...... Just ......"

"It's just that the pleasure of having fun is so strong that I don't know how to extricate myself, right?" The ridicule on Grandpa's face became even thicker, "So even if you feel guilty at some moments, you still continue to do it in the end?" ”

"Yes...... That is true. Charles replied with some difficulty.

"You......" the old marquis sighed, "what does that mean?" It doesn't show that you are kind, and it doesn't show the spirit of a big man! There is no point in hesitating, or you should be a pure and immaculate husband with dignity, respect your wife, and never betray; Or you'll have to be like a Trevier, go on your own terms, and don't care what the philistines think! Of course, I'm not saying that you don't take Charlotte to heart at all, just that you're more obedient to your own will - after all, you're qualified to do that! What if Charlotte isn't happy? Your grandmother can't control me, your mother can't control your father, and she is not qualified to control you! Charles, I've taught you many times, if you want to do great things, you have to be decisive, you have to make a quick decision, and then walk hard no matter how good or bad it is, only such a person can overcome any difficulties and be hungry to the point they want! ”

After hearing his grandfather's words, Charles fell silent and did not reply.

He still doesn't quite agree with his grandfather's logic of "as a Treville, we can do whatever we want, we are naturally superior, and others are not qualified to criticize us".

It's not that he needs to care about public opinion or the accusations of others.

Since the Bourbon Age and even earlier, it was not a bad thing for the aristocracy to have fun, especially in this era when there were no religious constraints. What's more, it will not be long before France will enter the era of the Second Empire, and on the original historical line, indulgence in erosion and materialism are the fashion of the Second Empire.

Louis Bonaparte, Joseph Bonaparte, Morny, Persini and other leading figures of the Second Empire, all of whom were fun-seekers and mistresses, were all led up and down by the Empire to make life debauchery fashionable. Even if it is a literati and ink writer, such as Hugo, Dumas, and these people, aren't they all hooking up with young women and even married women?

Undoubtedly, the world line has undergone some changes now, and there will be even greater changes in the future, but in this regard there is no sign of any change in the way this group of people behaves. As a traverser who can naturally squeeze into this circle of dignitaries, Charles is understandable even if he becomes the same person as them, and it will not attract much blame.

He didn't accept his grandfather's statement, not because there was any pressure from the outside, but for only one reason - he just didn't want to completely close his heart and become a bastard who only cared about his own pleasure like his father, but he didn't want to live up to anyone who loved him.

I'm such a weird person! While hurting Charlotte, I want to lose to her again!

Maybe this is the so-called hypocrisy...... He thought to himself mockingly.

"What's wrong, Charles?" The old man noticed that his grandson seemed to be a little absent-minded, so he asked a strange question.

"To be honest, grandpa, I can't walk the two paths you give, the first one, I don't have enough conscience for me to walk; Second, I ...... My conscience is ...... again It's not enough to keep me going. ”

"You're going crazy." The old man's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he stared at his grandson as if he was already sick. "Why, at this age, you still tell me about your conscience?"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid yes, even I didn't think I had a little left, but that's it......" Charles gestured with his little finger, "yes, maybe I'm going crazy." But I must marry Charlotte, no matter what happens. ”

"But what's the point of you doing this?" Perhaps because of his consternation and annoyance, the Marquis de Treville actually laughed, "Isn't it a contradiction that you intend to continue to associate with others while trying to show your loyalty?" ”

"yes, I don't know what the point is, Charlotte won't thank me for that." Charles let out a long sigh.

It does seem odd to love your wife and everyone else and then claim to love both.

However, now, he can only take this road.

Then, as if to tell his grandfather, as if he were talking to himself, Charles muttered, "But I will never let the past happen again." ”

"The past?" The old man frowned, "What past?" ”

"Dad killed Mom, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he killed Mom. We can't repeat this again. Charlotte is entitled to dispose of me as she pleases, and I will never do anything to her like my father. After hesitating for a long time, under the gaze of the old man's suddenly frightened gaze, "That night, when she was holding a gun at me, I thought that if she wanted to kill me, then go ahead and do it!" I'd rather be killed by Charlotte than do anything to her. So, I'll try to be as careful as possible in the future, but if I do have to happen to that again...... May God judge the wicked me again. ”

"You're crazy!" The old marquis's eyes widened, and at last he let out a long sigh.

He found that in this regard, his grandson seemed to be unable to get it back.

"Uncle, why are you here!" When the grandfather and grandson came to visit the Duke of Treville's palace, the little Duke of Treville was shocked and hurriedly ran out to greet the two of them.

He could not help but be shocked that this was the first time in nearly 40 years that the Marquis of Treville had openly set foot in his brother's mansion.

"Hey, what else can I do? For the sake of your precious girl, of course! ”

Because of the blow given by his grandson just now, the Marquis of Trevil was in a very bad mood, and the words that he had prepared were forgotten, and even his tone was rushed a lot. "I've heard that Charles has been eating behind closed doors with her, so now that my old bones have come here, she can always see her, right? I'm here today to tell her about these things, so could you please bring her over and meet me? ”

This tone with a gun and a stick made the middle-aged man immediately look embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say.

I don't want to make a fuss like this! Really, how did these two young people make it seem like they were taking responsibility for what they were doing?

He complained bitterly in his heart, and at the same time couldn't help but feel some anger at Charles and his daughter, who had been losing his temper, and couldn't help but glare at the future son-in-law.

And Charles was not in a good mood now, so he simply ignored the eyes of his uncle in the synagogue.

"What, are you really going to turn me out? Philip, are you really not taking me seriously? After waiting for a moment, the old man scolded his nephew again with some dissatisfaction. If that's what you think, might as well just say it? ”

Originally, this old cavalry general was a little angry, and after being promoted to marshal by the president, he was even more majestic, and after saying this sentence angrily, he really scared the middle-aged man.

"Hey...... How can you say that? I...... How could I ...... Disrespecting you? The middle-aged man replied, almost incoherently, and then, under the unmistakable threat from another tribe of Tréville, he gritted his teeth and did not care about anything else. Okay, okay, you wait in the reception room first, I'll bring Charlotte over right away, if she dares to disrespect you, I'm going to beat her up!" Is it true that I, a father, can't put authority on it!? ”

Then, he looked directly at the servant next to him and shouted. "Take me to Miss! If she doesn't open the door, you pry it open for me, she's been stuffy in the room long enough, and it's time to come out and get some air! ”

Under such a rare rage from the master, the servants were silent, and they dared not say much, so they left directly with the master and went straight to the young lady's room.

Charles sighed to himself as his uncle hastily disappeared, and then he turned his head to meet his grandfather's worried gaze.

Child, I'm so worried about your future! The old man's eyes seemed to sigh.

"It's okay, grandpa." Charles shook the old man's hand. "It's going to get better." R1152
