The younger sister was full of resistance, so that Charles suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Well, that's how you repented!" He laughed instead because he was a little annoyed, "The way you respect me is to declare that I'm dead in front of others?" And also...... Why would you go to see that person without my permission? Do you still think you can do whatever you want?! ”

"Sir...... Please don't get too angry, Fran doesn't mean anything other than ...... Just to gain more trust with the doctor...... "Seeing that the brother and sister were about to quarrel again, Mary interjected at the right time, saying that she herself found such words unconvincing, "Although you have ...... Already...... It's a bit overdone, but at least she's keeping it a secret for you, isn't she? ”

"Hmph, it's true that I've kept a secret, I'm already dead, what secrets do I need?" Charles retorted angrily, but his tone softened a lot.

At this time, in his heart, it was not so much anger as the kind of love that could not be laughed or cried.

What had I done wrong to get into the position of being declared dead by my own sister? He tried to think about it, but he didn't have a clue, he just felt at a loss.

He lowered his gaze and stared at his sister, but he didn't see any sign in her handsome, expressionless face.

"I'm sorry that I took matters into account." After being stared at by Charles for a while, perhaps finally feeling a little uncomfortable, Fran finally apologized. "But...... At least I solved a problem for you, didn't I? You've been supporting him like this, but you've never revealed who you are. So...... Sooner or later. Curiosity will prompt him to get to the bottom of your bounty, and then you'll have to take the risk - remember, he's full of disgust and hatred for us Treville! Now, after my explanation, he will no longer have doubts about this gift, and you can also avoid the risk of being exposed, wouldn't it be great? ”

Fran's cross-examination. Charleston was dumbfounded.

It is also true that if this anonymous gift continues, there will be a risk of being exposed one day - rather than a "gift of unknown origin". "A gift from a patron's widow" is much more comfortable and does not generate any inquisitive curiosity.

Well, I'm not going to meet him anymore anyway...... If you die, you die.

"Even if you want to say I'm dead, you don't have to pretend to be a widow...... Honestly, isn't my sister good......" after a while. Charles grumbled under his breath.

"Do you really want me to dissect it bit by bit?" Fran asked rhetorically with a smile.

"Forget it. Stop it. Seeing that something was wrong, Charles hurriedly raised his hand to stop his sister, so as to prevent the family scandal from being publicized in front of others again.

He knew why, so he wasn't going to ask any more - or rather, he would rather not.

Seeing that Charles acquiesced to Fran's move, Mary finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave Fran a happy look, but Fran still didn't change her face. Obviously, I was mentally prepared for this beforehand.

It's a shame that you're so bold! She sighed in her heart.

"You ran over this time, in addition to saying that. Anything else? It's not like just saying hello and leaving. After a moment, Charles sighed again and asked another question.

It would be a pity if she ran to the master just to show off her fabricated identity and solve a problem for herself by the way.

Although he didn't think about letting his sister receive any revolutionary education due to the limitations of his position, it was okay to be able to learn more and broaden his horizons.

"Yes, I talked to him about a lot of other issues." Fran nodded dryly, "It was only through this visit that I learned that the Doctor was concentrating on writing and talking about it, in addition to scolding you and others in the newspapers...... Plus, I never thought of it before...... You'd be so interested in the Doctor's teachings. No one will believe it, but as a member of the Treville family, you would appreciate this kind of incitement to mob against yourself! ”

"I'll admit, it's a bit weird." Charles shrugged his shoulders and agreed with his sister. "But that's nothing, people always have to do contradictory things in life. I'm no more ridiculous than some others. ”

"But you don't want to lose your part to a mob rebellion, do you?" Fran looked at her brother with interest, "Could it be that you still want to learn from the Duke of Orleans, and if you don't want to be a mob leader, a good royal family?" No, I don't believe you're crazy...... However, if you wish to do so, I wouldn't mind following you as a Jacobin. ”

"Of course I didn't think so......" Charles shook his head with a smile, the anger he had just had completely vanished now, and only a kind of fun remained, "But if we dismiss a person's point of view as worthless because we oppose one of their views, then we are no different from fools, are we?" ”

"So you're not going crazy, you're just thinking of him as some kind of scholar to use for fun?" Fran looked tentatively at her brother, "This makes me even more confused, you're not that boring......"

"Well, you don't need to get to the bottom of this kind of thing, everyone has some unknown hobbies, doesn't they?" Charles sighed, then patted his sister's forehead, "Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter, I forgive you for being arbitrary, but you should have had enough." All you have to do is keep it a secret for me, and I'll take care of the rest myself. ”

"No, I can't stop this since I've piqued my curiosity," Fran shook her head and rejected Charles, "Now that you're here, I'm not going to stop asking questions unless you give me an answer." ”

Fran's determined appearance made Charles feel a little stunned.

He looked at his sister's slightly frowning face, her appearance was so firm and strong, which was completely different from the delicate and docile appearance of the past.

It's ...... It's ...... Just like the other day when they had a big fight.

After all, are you still growing up?

"You seem to have a lot more temper now." Charles sighed, as if complaining, as if sighing.

However, he still did not refuse.

"I was too obedient to your wishes, and as a result, I was fooled, and you don't like Baiyi Baishun at all! In that case, why should I suppress myself any longer? Without hesitation, Fran retorted, "Okay, let's get down to business, haven't we been talking about this all along?" I've always wondered what do you really appreciate about that doctrine? What resonates with you? ”

Fran stared at Charles intensely, her blue eyes as if she could see through it.

"I haven't spoken to the doctor in much depth, but after that day's visit, and what I've learned over the past few days—" Fran pointed to a stack of newspapers on his desk not far away, "and I have generally understood his doctrine...... He said that he wanted to abolish class inequality, nationalize factories and mines, and abolish large estates...... Huh, right? Each of them is a clear attempt to wipe us out, even more undisguised than Robespierre and Marat...... This guy is simply bold!

Shardon was speechless.

It was not so much a shock as a shock.

What drove her to study this kind of thing with great enthusiasm? Surely not for academic enthusiasm.

But...... Even if the purpose is not pure, at least she will think of understanding and inquiry, instead of blindly denying me.

If it was Charlotte, would she? The thought flashed through Charles's mind.

No, she certainly won't, she'll just laugh at me for being mad and ask me to cut ties with this guy by the way. Charles immediately replied in his heart.

Hey, forget it, what is there to talk about this issue now? "The only thing that doesn't conflict with you is that he thinks that with the development of science and technology, the wealth of society will accumulate more and more, and it will benefit everyone," Fran continued to talk under Charles's gaze, her face seemed to glow white with concentration, "Do you ...... A Trevile, who wants to learn from a mob leader, does something socialist-style relief? ”

As if to show off, Fran said the new word she had just learned.

"What's not to do? As a national leader, why can't I really want to improve the well-being of the people? Why would it be ironic for a Tréville to engage in social welfare? The expression on Charles' face did not change, "Even the Baron de Beauvang does not object to this - it is just that he wants to better protect his vested interests and expand the source of profits." Visionaries don't care about giving up something for a while. ”

"Did the Baron really say that?" Shocked, Mary couldn't help but interject.

"Why should I lie?" Charles sneered and asked,

"Then I remind you that there may be as much blood in our riches as there is glory in it." Fran lowered her gaze slightly, "In that case, you can't enjoy this wealth while claiming fairness and justice, right?" Besides, the people have always been unfed, and you really think that taking out a little thing will make them forget about it and ask for it all? ”

"That's not something I'm going to worry about anymore, we don't need to care about the problems in a hundred years, because by then we are all gone, and no matter how troublesome the problem is, there will be another person to deal with." Charles shrugged his shoulders, completely nonchalant, "We'll be fine now, won't we?" You can say it's hypocrisy, but I don't care. (To be continued......)
