"But sometimes I have to think things through, and Philip is grateful for that. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Charles's words made Charlotte even more unhappy.

In addition to her annoyance, she was more puzzled, she didn't understand why her husband had to do this, and she didn't understand why he thought so little about his own reputation.

"Philip will never be grateful to you, your offer is nothing more than a mess for him, a mockery of his identity. Dad would never agree to it...... This...... It's just going crazy! Charlotte laughed angrily, almost incoherently, "Charles, don't do that!" ”

Although she said earlier that Philip would never agree, but in fact, she herself had no confidence in her heart, because she knew her brother too well, and she knew who Philip was - although Philip was arrogant, he also spent a lot of time and liked to squander, so he especially liked money, and he may not be tempted in front of so many dowries.

And those old families, who have long been far away from the center of power in decades of political changes, have either retreated to the countryside or are unknown, where can they get so much money?

One can imagine how attractive Charles' proposal would be to Philip, especially now that he has been stripped of his family inheritance.

Sure enough, she soon heard an answer that worried her.

"On the contrary, Philip is interested in my proposal, Charlotte." Charles replied in a low voice, "He's already met with the young lady, well, listen to his feedback...... Not bad. ”

"You...... You ......" Charlotte was really angry, she frowned, couldn't help but stand up, and glared at her husband, "You did a good job!" ”

She was indeed very angry, not only because of this ridiculous decision made by her husband, but also because when this absurd thing came to this point, her husband had not revealed a little news to her.

In the midst of such anger, some bad memories of the past also came to my heart, so I became more and more angry, and my hair trembled slightly at any time.

"If I hadn't specifically mentioned this today, you would have continued to hide it, right? And then wait until it's a fait accompli before having a showdown with us, right?! She stared at Charles, her tone becoming more and more stern, "You've always been like this, you've never told me about what you've been thinking about, and you've never let me be involved...... I really don't understand why you're doing this, am I not worthy of your trust? ”

Charles sat quietly, listening to Charlotte's angry complaints, and he also felt that Charlotte did have a reason to be so angry.

She colluded with her brother in private without telling her, and set a candidate for his marriage, without even revealing a word. If I had taken a different stance, I might have been even angrier......

In the final analysis, the motive of interfering in this matter is completely impure.

Hey, it's time to pay for your ridiculous life...... In Charlotte's stern questioning, Charles just sat upright in his seat, no more words, and listened honestly.

Seeing his reaction, Charlotte finally reduced her anger a little, and she also knew that since things had come to this point, it was pointless to continue to blame, so after complaining for a while, she finally stopped.

"Okay, in that case, it's useless for me to talk to you more, let's go to Dad's tomorrow and explain this matter clearly, and see which side Dad is listening to!" Finally, Charlotte sat down again in a huff, "I don't believe it, has everyone forgotten the principles of the past?" ”

"If necessary, people will forget." Charles whispered, because he was vague, so it didn't provoke a new quarrel between the couple.

Because of this sudden quarrel, the happy atmosphere of the two couples was instantly wiped out, and the dinner was so depressed that Charles was like chewing wax, and after finally filling his appetite, he quickly slipped into his study to prevent the quarrel from going on.

……………………………………

Early the next morning, the Charles couple arrived at the Duke of Treville's house.

Because he was still attending a banquet last night, and only returned home in the early hours of the morning, the Duke was still sleeping when they came to the door, but after receiving the report, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up to receive his daughter and son-in-law.

"Ah, you two have been so rare lately, why do you think of your dad today?" The middle-aged man, who had put on his gorgeous clothes again, came to his living room and received them with a smile.

However, the middle-aged man, who was old and sophisticated, quickly saw a little abnormality in the faces of the two people, "What? Quarreled? Hey, I said you two, both of you are this age, why do you still quarrel so often? Stabilize the key points, and stabilize the key points! Also, don't rely on me about quarrels, I don't want to get involved in your affairs, and I don't like ...... two sides."

The duke smiled and babbled, trying to use his witty side to dispel the resentment between his daughter and son-in-law.

"Dad, it's really not bad for me this time, Charles has done something ridiculous again!" After the duke chattered for a while, Charlotte finally couldn't bear it anymore, "He found a marriage partner for Philip!" ”

"Huh? Who? The Duke was a little surprised, and couldn't help but laugh again, "I really didn't expect that Charles would pay attention to such a thing...... But so what? Charlotte, Charles is also a piece of heart, even if you don't like the proposed candidate very much, there is no need to ......"

"He found the daughter of Monsieur Guillaume Keller." Charlotte interrupted her father angrily.

"Keller? Well...... Is that the banker who is very close to Bowang? Like Charlotte, who first heard the news, the Duke of Trevil had a look of disbelief and then laughter. Charles, is that him? ”

"Yes, Dad." Charles nodded.

"Uh......" The Duke suddenly had a feeling that he didn't know what to say, and his first reaction, like his daughter, was that it was ridiculous, and that it was not even a candidate to be considered.

However, after all, he was more sophisticated, and he also valued this son-in-law very much, so he did not look angry like Charlotte, but quickly calmed down.

"Charles, huh...... I appreciate your kindness to Philip, and I will consider your proposal, which we will talk about later. ”

Obviously, this was a tactful refusal, and Charles could hear it, but now that he had been plotting with Philip for so long, how could he back down at this step.

"To put it simply, it's not just a proposal, it's a reality that's already being calmly pushed forward." Charles calmly explained to his father-in-law, "I have listened to Mr. Keller, and I have relayed it to Philip, who himself is quite pleased with it, so we can now prepare for it in earnest." ”

"Huh?" The Duke was shocked, and finally he could not maintain his composure. "You ......"

If this has been talked about, it is not something that can be easily refused, if you refuse rudely, it will offend the other party, and now that the Count de Beauvang is gaining power, those assistants around him are naturally chicken dogs ascending to heaven, even the Duke will not want to easily grudge with other people's families.

After the initial surprise, he couldn't help but get angry too.

Of course, he didn't want to be angry with Charles, for fear of angering this powerful son-in-law, so all his anger was vented on the flashy and prodigal eldest son.

"That bastard boy! How could he do such a thing?! He shouted angrily, "It's a shame that I thought he had changed his sex now and knew how to be a serious man...... As a result, he ...... No, I'm going to call him back and teach him a good lesson! ”

"Don't be so angry, Dad." Charles spoke softly, helping the Duke to come to his senses, and he made a covert gesture when Charlotte couldn't notice. "Philip has done a great job since he started working with us, and I can assure you that he is getting better and better, and I think sooner or later he can make a career."

"Hey...... You guys...... You ......," the Duke sighed, but not as agitated as he had been.

After all, he is his eldest son, no matter how angry he is, he still hopes that his son will succeed, and after hearing Charles's compliment, he feels a lot better.

"Let's talk, I'd like to see what you have to say." After a few more moments of silence, the Duke waved his hand and motioned for Charles to follow him to another room.

And Charr naturally gladly obeyed.

"Charles, tell me, why are you doing this?" As soon as he entered the room, the Duke was worried again and questioned his son-in-law. "It's obviously ridiculous."

To protect my mistress and illegitimate child...... This reason, of course, is unspeakable.

"Ridiculous? I don't think so. Charles calmly sat down next to him, "Dad, I'm serious about helping Philip find it, otherwise he wouldn't be so easy to nod his head, would he?" ”

"I'm glad you have this in mind, but you're looking for too much, isn't it? I'll admit that the other side has money, but they're not nobles after all! The duke said angrily, "For many generations, our family has only married with famous families, and even when my father and your grandfather escaped from France and went into exile, they were married to the women of the exiled families...... This is a principle that we have adhered to for many years, and we have always been proud of it, why do you make such a joke? ”

"No one is going to joke about two million dowries," Charles calmly replied.

"Two million?" The Duke's eyes widened, apparently surprised.

"Yes, and maybe more. Besides, Mr. Keller will soon be a nobleman, and in recognition of the merits of the financial community in raising war expenses for the Empire, His Majesty has decided to canonize a group of people to become nobles of the Empire, and Mr. Keller will be one of them, you see, that's enough. ”

"The nobles of the empire are worthless!" The Duke said angrily, but apparently there was no longer the resistance he had just had. "I'm grateful to Mr. Keller for the importance of our family, but ......"

"Daddy, haven't you seen it yet?" Charles suddenly raised his voice and interrupted him, "Now is the time when Philip can pick and choose!" ”

"Huh?" The Duke looked at Charles in some surprise.

"Isn't that obvious? Although Philip is your heir, but now everyone knows that he doesn't have much family business to inherit, so those top famous families will definitely not ask him to marry, right? Charles calmly explained to him, "Then, if you have to insist on finding famous families, you can only find those famous families that are declining, but if they are declining, what is the point of having blood?" What can they bring to Philip, and what can they bring to your future grandchildren? Do you really think that as long as you have blood, everything will be unimpeded? Maybe it was like that before, but surely it won't be like that in the future, right? ”

"You ......," the Duke was still in doubt.

"So you see, this is actually the best person I can find for Philip." Charles became calm, "He can protect himself in the future, and at least he can have a piece of furniture, isn't it better than anything else?" ”
