After discussing with Andrei Bezukhov, Charles did not leave him overnight, and left the charr's mansion in the middle of the night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After that, Charles went back to the bedroom and told his wife about what he had just arranged.

Sure enough, as he expected, Charlotte also felt that she should not go there herself in order to avoid too much turmoil, and besides, she was fascinated by the bustle of Paris and did not want to go to places like Russia.

However, when Charles said that he was going to send his sister over, Charlotte was a little skeptical.

"Your sister, is she able to take on such a heavy responsibility? She's so young! ”

"I can only believe it once at this point, she has a good brain, and her personality is not as innocent as it seems—you should know that, right?" Charles said helplessly, "The things that I and Count Bezukhov have in private should be kept a secret, and no one should know about it, not even our own country. ”

"Shouldn't even the Emperor know too much?" Charlotte asked rhetorically.

“…… Be. After a moment of silence, Charles nodded, "I only told Your Majesty that we were contacted by an influential anti-Tsarist organization in Russia, and I did not tell him the details of Count Bezukhov. ”

At that time, he felt that a person like Count Bezukhov could be his friend or an Austrian aid, so he deliberately hid his identity when reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, and now it seems that this is really the right choice.

"Well, I know that, she's very scheming," Charlotte sneered, "but it's a little too hard for her to deal with this kind ......of scene, isn't it?" Don't think too pretty. ”

"I think it's just a messenger to pass some words, and I don't need her to do anything big, I think it's okay, right?" Charles smiled. "Besides, Mademoiselle de Léoland may accompany her, she is very reliable, if she can help her...... I don't think anything will go wrong. ”

That young lady is going too? Hearing Charles say this, Charlotte was a little moved. In her opinion, her grandfather's secretary was not a serious person at first glance, and he had always been extremely disrespectful to her, and what was even more worrying...... Although she doesn't usually show it, Charlotte always feels that she seems to think badly about her husband.

It would be a good idea to send both of them abroad for two or three months, at least for a long time before I could be angry with them.

"Well, if you say so, let them pass." Charlotte finally agreed with her husband's statement, "But you'd better let them be careful, this kind of thing is not a joke!" ”

"Of course I do." Charles shrugged. "But I suppose that Count Bezukhov is so rich and powerful, and so influential in Russia, that he should be able to control the situation—besides, since he has been able to survive in Russia for so many years, he must have some skills in secret."

"I hope so." Charlotte buried her head in the covers.

She wished things were going bad, and that both men had been taken to prison by the vicious Russian Cossacks.

The next morning, Charles left his house and headed for his grandfather's mansion. Marshal Tréville had not lived in Paris, since he had recently inspected the army elsewhere, so the usual stream of visitors to him was now extinct, and it was convenient for him to come unobtrusively.

Miss Tréville now has more business to do because she has started her own collecting business, but she does not like to go out in the morning, but is accustomed to doing errands in the afternoon and evening, so she stays at home today. And Mary has been here lately, so the house is not bleak.

As soon as she heard the news of her brother's rare arrival, Fran, who was overjoyed, immediately greeted him and greeted him.

Charles greeted his sister as he looked at the familiar grass and trees around him, and guessed from her attitude that Mary had not yet told her what had happened before—he was relieved to think of this, otherwise he really didn't know how to deal with his sister.

After a few pleasantries, the two of them went to the reception room together, and Mary was already here.

Mary smiles at the sight of Charles, and Charles gives her a look of apprehension, reminding her that there are some things that are best kept out of the ordinary.

"I'm here today, in fact, I have something to ask you." As soon as he sat down, Charles solemnly spoke to Fran.

"What's the matter?" Fran was a little strange, "Just say what you want me to do, there's no need to be so serious......"

"It's a tricky thing to do, so I need to ask for your personal opinion, and if you don't want to go, I'm not going to force you." Charles replied immediately.

"What's the matter?" Fran was even more curious.

"If you may, I want you to go to Russia......" Charles smiled, and told her some of the things that had happened between Count Bezukhov and him.

Fran listened patiently, looking more and more amazed.

"How so? And this kind of thing! It's so exciting! It's also interesting. When she heard this, she immediately sighed, and it was obvious that some young people were excited when they heard the legend, "So to speak...... Are you going to let me go to Russia and see the count? ”

"If you think it's dangerous, it's okay not to go, I'll find a way to find someone else." Charles replied.

"No, don't! I'm happy to go...... I want to go. Fran immediately took over, "You can trust me and give me the heavy responsibility, how can I refuse?" Leave it to me, and I'll take care of it for you. ”

Seeing his sister so excited, Charles hesitated. "Why don't you think about it?"

"No, don't think about it." Fran raised her voice, "Since you've already made your decision, why take it back?" I can pack my bags today and leave at any time. ”

Perhaps seeing that his brother was still a little uneasy, Fran continued, "I've already been to London with someone before, and I'm no stranger to traveling far away, isn't this also a long trip in essence?" It's just a matter of bringing something with you. ”

"Okay...... All right. Seeing that she agreed so smoothly, although she was a little worried, after all, she had achieved her goal. Charles turned his head to look at Mary, "Mary, you have been pushing aside your business for a while or leaving it to someone else, and go with her to Petersburg - please take care of her." ”

"Yes, sir, I'll take care of her." Mary smiled and replied, "Besides, we still have people around us to protect us, so you don't have to worry about anything." ”

Charles suddenly hesitated, and continued in a slur manner.

"What if...... If something does happen, I hope ...... Hopefully, you'll muster up the courage to take responsibility. Fran was only invited to travel to Russia...... It's you who has a secret mission, what is she...... Nothing is known, understood? ”

Mary, of course, understood what he meant. Her face suddenly became solemn.

As Charles said, Miss Treville could not be involved in such a conspiracy, if it was her, then it would be just an ordinary diplomatic conspiracy, and if it was Miss herself, then I am afraid it would make big news.

"Yes, I understand, sir."

"Hey, that's not going to work!" Fran couldn't agree with Charles's words, "Since the two of us are going together, we should take the same risk, why should she have to carry it if something happens?" ”

"Don't question my decision!" Charles looked at his sister solemnly and interrupted her words, "With your mind, of course you know why, so don't ask." If you really feel that you can't get away with it, then do it properly for me, and don't let others suffer because of you, understand? ”

As soon as her brother said it so solemnly, Fran had nothing to say, so she had to nod.

Then Charles looked back at Mary. "Mary, I'm sorry...... But I think you can understand me. ”

"Of course I understand what you mean, sir, and I think you're right." Mary suddenly laughed again, "Besides, I think your worries are unnecessary, please don't underestimate the two of us, we are difficult enough when we fight alone, let alone together?" ”

"Okay, that's good, I trust you." Charles couldn't help but laugh as well, and then gave her a small hug.

"Shall you stay here for lunch today?" Perhaps it felt like the matter was over, Fran said immediately.

"No, I have something to do in the afternoon." Xia Er politely declined, "After all, I'm also a minister now, and it's rare to find time to come to you today." ”

"I know you're busy, but come and see us from time to time anyway, Grandpa and I miss you very much." Fran was still a little reluctant.

"I know, I will." Charles smiled apologetically, then wanted to leave.

Suddenly, he found himself unable to move at all, as Mary hugged him tightly.

He looked down, and saw Mary looking at him with a smile that was a mixture of mockery, excitement, teasing, delight, and amusement.

A bad feeling hit him, should it be ......

"Sir, isn't now the best time to confess everything?" Mary said word for word.

"No...... Don't ...... like that," Charles' face suddenly turned pale. "Don't do that!"

"That's what I'm going to do." Mary interrupted, then turned to look at her friend. "Fran, I have something for you, it's very important, and it's very relevant to each of us."

"What's the matter?" Fran looked at her in amazement, "Do you have something important to hide from me?" ”

"yes, I hid it from you for a while, but now I'm not going to hide it." Mary still had a strange smile on her face, "Lola is pregnant, and the child is his." ”

Fran opened her mouth in shock, staring at the two of them in amazement, while Charles closed his eyes slightly.

"Do you know why the news that Lola is getting married has gone viral lately?" As if she felt that she had not spoken enough, Mary continued, "It is because she conceived a child because of her pleasure with her husband, and now her father is frantically trying to find a son-in-law to cover up this ugly affair......"

"Bang!" A loud bang interrupted her.

"Is this true?" Fran yelled at Charles.

Charles opened his eyes, looked at Mary helplessly, and then curled his neck with difficulty. "It's true, but things aren't what you think they are...... It was an unexpected ......."

"What a hell of an accident!" Fran interrupted him with another roar, her face flushed with rage, apparently unprepared and hated the news.

"He told me a while ago, and it made me so angry!" Mary also added fuel to her fire at this time, "So you see, he is like this, he doesn't take us seriously when we lower our eyebrows, and those who are not so obedient to him, but let him take it to heart......"

"yes...... Oh, yes...... I knew it was so! Fran was resentful.

She suddenly gasped violently, and the skin on her face and neck flushed.

"Shame! Shame! It's a shame! She suddenly raised her head and roared at her brother, "Is this how you treat us!" Didn't you just take me to heart? ”

Knowing where she got the strength, she grabbed the wooden chair next to her and threw it at Charles, who was caught off guard and couldn't escape, but in the end Fran was reluctant to do so, and slammed it the table.

"It's too much! It's too much! She shouted.

Hearing the movement inside, servants had already rushed over, but everyone was stunned when they saw that the young lady had almost never looked like this.

"Get out, get me out!" Fran yelled at them again.

Seeing that the young lady was so angry, where did the others dare to say anything, they all disappeared immediately.

Fran tossed the chair aside, then stumbled over to Charles, grabbed the shirt on his chest, and shook violently.

"Why! Why would you do this? Am I ...... Am I not as good as Lola? Why do you want to deal with her while rejecting me...... And kids?! She shook and cried, clearly grieving to the extreme, "I'll ...... for you I'm willing to go to the soup for you, I'd rather be unknown for you, I'm even willing to give up everything for you! Why can't I feel this heart? Why! Don't...... Are you really so cruel? I...... I hate you to death! (To be continued.) )
