"British?"

As soon as she heard Charles's reminder, Agnes suddenly became serious, "What's wrong with them?" ”

"Didn't you and Charlotte conspire to do something big there?" "In the end, one man's life remained," Charles said in a mixed tone. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"So you mean that?" Agnes reacted, and then a look of joy suddenly appeared on her face, and it was clear that she was still very happy and relieved that she had killed Edgar before. "For that I am grateful Charlotte. What's wrong? ”

"The British have figured this out." Charles sighed, "Then the English came to the door and knocked me out. ”

"What?" Agnes was surprised, "How did they figure it out?" How many things have been figured out? ”

"There are clues to everything, and it is impossible to hide in the shadows all the time." Charles replied in a slump of resignation, and then recounted the news he had received from the Miss Perriette that night.

Agnes listened quietly to Charles's account, her brow narrowing until she suddenly sneered at the end.

"Well, aren't the British quite clear now? There really are them! After all, isn't it your grandfather's fault? If he hadn't insisted on bringing that man's bones home, the British might not have found the clues so quickly. ”

Because of the old grudge, although she didn't plan to continue to take revenge on the old marquis, she was still angry with him, so she couldn't help but use this incident to satirize the old man again.

"Don't blame an old man who has lost his only son, that is the only son he has raised and has high hopes for!" Charles couldn't help but distinguish for his grandfather, "It's great that he can rationally put all his resentment against you behind him and just ask for his son's bones back, please ...... Be more lenient with him. ”

"Hmph." Agnes knew she was going too far, but she didn't want to speak softly to the old man, so she just snorted and didn't continue the conversation. "Well, I've figured out the gist of the matter, and luckily they haven't found out Edgar's identity yet......"

It is conceivable that if the British find out Edgar's identity and find out that he was actually murdered by his own wife and daughter-in-law, it will be such a shocking secret that Charles will be embarrassed to deal with. Of course, Agnes didn't want to leave her nephew in such a big trouble because of herself.

"I'm a little apprehensive about that, but I think the British wouldn't be able to figure it out if we kept it a secret - after all, my father had entered the country under a false identity, and he wouldn't have ...... reveal his identity to anyone."

"He really won't?" Agnes was a little incredulous.

"I'm probably sure of that. After all, he knows that he is dishonoring the family......" Charles sighed, not knowing what attitude to continue, "He told me before that he has done too many ridiculous things in his life and has lost the face of his family, so he will never call the name Trelville outside again, because he can't make Grandpa and me even more embarrassed, and this is his last compensation for us." ”

"It's as if he still has a little conscience......," Agnes sneered, still looking unforgiving of Edgar, "he's finally done something human, and it saves us a lot of trouble." ”

"So, as long as he doesn't open his mouth to anyone, the matter can be sealed under the dust, and anyone can pretend that it didn't happen." Charles also had no intention of arguing with her about Edgar's question again, and directly stated his considerations, "Of course, provided that all those in the know must keep their mouths shut......"

"You don't have to worry about this, when I go out, in order not to shame my family, and for the convenience of tracking, I also use a fake name, and even in the United Kingdom, I use a fake passport." Agnes looked confident, "There are only three people who know about this, Charlotte and I can't reveal it, the other person has served our family for a long time, and has been tracking Edgar with me for many years, and his loyalty is no problem, so ...... I don't think there's any risk of a secret leaking. Besides, I haven't been in England for a long time, and I don't have much contact with people, so it's impossible for many people to remember my face, and even if the British want to look for me, they probably don't have a clue. ”

She didn't mention Charlotte, after all, although Charlotte was completely exposed, she lived in seclusion at home, and her status was so detached that no matter how capable the British were, they could not get any confession out of her.

"It would be great if that was the case." Charles was quite pleased, "But even so, we can't take it lightly, please be sure to pay attention to your actions in the future, and don't show your tracks......"

"I see!" Agnes was a little impatient, and waved her hand casually, "I'm staying at your house all this time, and I don't believe that the British still have the ability to rush to your house and interrogate me?" Besides, I'm not the kind of person who can be manipulated by others if they want. ”

"I'm confident in you, so I'm just a reminder to let you know about it." Seeing that Agnes was so confident, Charles was not easy to pour cold water, so he just complimented him.

In his opinion, as long as you take a little precautions, you really don't have to worry too much. "The British now need the full cooperation of France, they have no motive to oppose me, it is not in their interest, their aim is to win us over, and even Her Majesty has been dispatched for this purpose, and besides, they have taken the initiative to tell me about it, and it is clear that they have little ill will towards me, at least for now. However, the international situation is changing rapidly, and no one can say anything about political matters, so we must be fully prepared......"

"Okay, okay, leave your rhetoric to the adults in the political circles, I have a headache when I listen to it." Agnes became even more impatient, and directly interrupted him, "I have basically figured out this matter, you can rest assured, in line with the position of solving the trouble I have caused by myself, I will eradicate any signs of danger, and will never let my affairs become your trouble, you silently watched your father die in my hands, which is already worthy of me, and I am very grateful for this." ”

"Actually, it's not difficult for me, I don't have any feelings for him." Charles shrugged, "Okay, now that he's a page from the past, we can turn him over and face a whole new life......"

"Ready for a new life? Hopefully, it's still too late...... But I'm afraid it's too late. Agnes looked away, and her originally serious expression suddenly softened, as if she was sighing for something, "Charles, although I am a little sorry for you for this incident, I will never regret it." However, I will compensate you with hard work, after all, I have caused you trouble. ”

"You don't have to feel sorry for me, after all, this matter is our family's fault, and you have the freedom to fight back. However, please be sure to keep this matter a secret from Charlotte. Charles hurriedly admonished again, "You are so guilty, if it were Charlotte, how worried she would be!" ”

"Of course I understand this, don't worry, I won't let your wife hurt her mind about this." Agnes had returned to normal by this time, and looked at Charles with a smile, "Finally, you little bastard still has a little conscience. Okay, come with me to see Charlotte, shall we? ”

Charles didn't respond immediately, but hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to ask.

"You haven't been where you have been for a while, where have you been?"

"I went to all kinds of fun places to play, bought good things, watched plays and listened to dramas, and traveled to the south by the way, enjoying the warm sunshine, drying the mildew on my body, and seeing the prosperity of the world." Agnes didn't hide it, "Thanks to your wife's favor, I enjoyed life for a good time......"

"You...... Also so? After hearing such a simple and ordinary answer, Charles could not believe it.

"Why can't I do this? Isn't it strange that I used to like extravagant things, I liked to dress up in fancy clothes, I liked leisurely travel, I liked everything that made people's lives more comfortable? Agnes asked rhetorically, almost as a matter of course. I didn't run away because I liked to endure hardship. Although I have traveled so many places over the years, I am not in the mood to stop and enjoy the journey every time, but this time it is different, I can finally see how beautiful the world is...... It's not as beautiful as I'd like, but there are always some nice places. ”

"You'll have more opportunities in the future." Although Agnes said it lightly, Charles felt a little sour in his heart.

After all, it was her family who delayed her youth for more than ten years, which is a regrettable sin. "If you have anything to spend, just bill me and I'll be happy to pay for you......"

"I thank Your Excellency for your generosity, but don't say goodbye, I'll still take money from your wife, after all, I'm working for her, and collecting your money, the words are not so clear." Agnes burst out laughing, "I can't allow myself to be bribed by you?!" ”

Is there a difference between taking her money or taking my money? Charles couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't insist. "Alright then, it's all as you say."

Agnes then said goodbye to Charles and went to Charlotte's bedroom.

Because she is now a few months pregnant, Charlotte's movement is already very inconvenient, so she usually rarely moves around, and even does not go out of the bedroom much, just waiting for the arrival of her second child.

This kind of life is monotonous and boring for Charlotte, who likes to be lively, but she is only the inevitable price of being a mother, and she is happy to pay this price.

She had been sitting on a balcony chair reading a storybook for the whole day, and when she saw Agnes coming, Charlotte was overjoyed, tossed the book aside, and hobbled to greet her.

"Aunt Agnes, long time no see!" She leaned over to Agnes, "How's your talk with Charles?" ”

"He's very crisp." Agnes skillfully grabbed Charlotte's hand, and then held the pregnant woman's waist, "Think about it, you know, he doesn't dare to make a mistake in front of me." ”

She followed Charles's advice, not mentioning what the two had just said, and her face was full of smiles, as if she were a few years younger.

"Thankfully, there's someone who can make him obedient." Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not easy. ”

"How?" Agnes asked, confused.

"I'll tell you the truth, we've had a few more fights over this recently." Charlotte frowned, obviously worried. "Although we grew up arguing, I can feel that the situation is different now."

"So, our lovely Miss Treville seems to think she's about to get her long-cherished wish?" Agnes asked, slightly sarcastically.

"Naturally, she would think so, after all, Charles has always spoiled her, and it makes her arrogant." As soon as she said this, Charlotte's anger couldn't help but rise, "Now she probably thinks that she is invincible." ”

"Well, I have to say, this should be a wrong idea." Agnes replied in a teasing tone, then gently stroked Charlotte's belly.

"Oh! What a strong life! Looks like they're still kicking my hand! She raised her eyebrows, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, "It seems that this is another wild boy." ”

"Maybe it's a girl? The boss is a man, and it would be too monotonous to have another man. Charlotte replied with a smile, her eyebrows full of her mother's pride, "Whether it is male or female, this is my child and Charles's child, the purest blood of our Trevier family, it will definitely be an excellent child......"

Then, she suddenly lowered her voice, "And she, maybe even the wild seed, a lonely ghost who has entered the house, has taken our last name......"

"Huh?" Agnes didn't react for a moment.

"The deceased Mr. Edgar left a handwritten letter before him making it clear that she was not his daughter." Charlotte bit her lip and tried to calm herself down, "When I saw this handwriting, I didn't believe it before, but I later took out his previous handwriting and checked it, and found that it was indeed his...... Tell me, how terrible is this? The filth has not been stripped of the family, and there are terrible remnants. ”

Agnes' eyes narrowed.

"It's ...... What a terrible girl! ”
