Chapter 137: Freedom
"You told me that no one has come into contact with Madame during this time, is that your promise to me?", Peter suppressed his anger, his eyes narrowed slightly, the arrival of this letter made many things get out of control. The first sentence of the letter is equivalent to justifying the wild seed in Vivian's belly, and the wild seed is his "child", and from now on, whether he admits it or not, he must bow to reality and admit that the child is his own.
And he must also carefully protect the wild species, so that no threat can approach him, once he encounters any danger and leaves this world early, then he may be the mayor of the end.
Without touching the old man in power, it is impossible to understand the terrifying rule of an old man who cannot even sit up has over this state. Perhaps the most important reason that has kept the Governor alive and healthy to this day is the power in his hands.
All he needed was to say that in the midterm elections, Peter might have to say goodbye to the mayor and go to some more remote place to serve as a minor official with no importance or any power, such as a tax collector. If he wants to keep his position and power and a decent life, he has to grit his teeth and recognize the wild seed in Vivien's belly.
So Vivien is free, and he's going to step on his horse to protect her and the wild seeds in her belly!
The person who caused all of this was the one who came into contact with Vivien during this time.
In the face of the mayor's suppressed angry questioning, the butler could only be silent. He felt that there was nothing wrong with his work, that anyone who wanted to contact Madame had to inform him first, and that no one had come to visit during this time, and even if two or three people came to the manor, they were all in his sight or that of the mayor.
Who, then, got into Lady Vivien without God's knowledge and passed on some important news?
The butler thought for a long time, but he had no clue, he couldn't think of anyone who might have access to Lady Vivien.
On the contrary, the mayor, who had a very strong mood swing, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Those two policemen!", he glared at the butler, who told him that it was a heavy rainstorm that day, and he let the two little policemen enter the manor out of sympathy and for some reason, and rested in the manor for a while. At this moment, no one knew if the two little policemen were really resting, or if they had secretly gone to see Vivien.
If a person wants to make what he thinks about more detailed and thorough, then all the subjective impossible things must be "possible" to deduce and consider first. There is no doubt that these two little policemen have all the conditions, and there is a good chance that it is that "maybe".
The butler's lips moved, and the words he wanted to defend were not spoken, he had done something wrong, and even some excuses had become meaningless.
Peter snorted in distraught, and went back and forth, but his own people let the "enemy" in. He reached out and snatched the letter from the butler's hand, and continued to read it. Except for the first sentence that made him angry, the rest of the content was quite peaceful.
In addition to congratulating Peter on becoming a father, the Governor also told him that if nothing else, the old man would continue to support Peter during the midterm elections, and would introduce him to some important people. This is a typical slap to a carrot, but it is also very useful. The big man in the Governor's mouth may be the same as Peter's big man, or it may be more important.
The composition of a network is a very simple and complex thing at the same time, and it does not mean that introducing someone to you means that you have become friends with this person and built a network. There is also a need for more work from "guides", so that everyone has common interests, so that they can gradually incorporate their connections for their own use. If there is an introduction from the Governor, coupled with the relationship between him and the Governor, I think he will be able to gain more support, touch a higher level, and gain more power in the next election year.
After weighing the pros and cons, it is nothing more than having an additional wild seed son, and he can get so many heavyweight political rewards, and he feels that it is not unacceptable. Anyway, in the future, that wild seed will also be "his own child", and proper discipline is also part of the father's love, and Peter is much calmer when he thinks of this.
"Dinner is more substantial, invite the two councillors and their families to the dinner, and ...... another", Peter had wanted the butler to inform Lady Vivien to join him in the dinner, but he considered it and invited it himself. With a wave of his hand, the butler breathed a sigh of relief and immediately left the room.
He had to thank Peter for being a man with a lot of self-control, otherwise it wouldn't have been a letter in his face, but something else.
The mayor rested for a while, thought about some questions, and then went up to the second floor and pushed open the bedroom door. He looked at Vivien, who was sitting on the sofa and was reading, and walked over with a smile on his face, "What kind of book makes you so involved that you ignore my existence?", he picked up the only teacup on the table, and drank the little flower tea soup left.
Lady Vivien did not vent her hysteria after being violently beaten and confined by her husband, as ordinary women do, but sat back with dignity and grace, tucked her fingers into the pages, and closed the book, revealing the cover of the book.
This is a book about enlightening wisdom, called "Perplexity", written by a very famous philosopher, and it was very popular for a while, until he began to swell and began to criticize the political system and some of the governance practices of the empire, and then he disappeared from view. Some psychologically shady guys thought he said something he shouldn't have said, but the people wanted to hear it, so it was "cleaned up".
Such conspiracy theories happen almost daily, and as time goes on, they fade from the limelight, leaving only a few best-selling books and accounts that no one has ever used but that are injected every month.
"Why do you suddenly like reading this kind of book, if I'm not mistaken, art is what you're after, isn't it?", Peter, who walked back with a teapot to the side, still holding a fruit bowl in his hand, there was not the slightest anger between the two of them, just like an ordinary couple in an ordinary family, carrying out daily conversations.
Lady Vivien reopened the book, pondered for a moment, and said, "Everyone has different ideas at every stage, and there is an interesting saying in this book that most people's thoughts are based on their own desires for the world. When you need to eat, you think about food, and when you need to rehydrate, you think about water. In this way of interpretation, maybe I want to know more, so I want to read a book. ”
Peter clapped his palms, "It's a very straightforward explanation, and it's also very true. After a pause, he continued: "I have invited the councillors and their families here for dinner in the evening, and you need to dress up. ”
Vivien nodded yes, "I see!"
The goal has been achieved, Peter patted his leg and stood up, "I'm going to work, someone has something to inform me." ”
Looking at Peter disappearing through the door, and the door that didn't close, a slight smile appeared on Lady Vivien's lips. She knew that she had won this round and that she was free. She will be based on freedom and let everyone understand that she is not a ladder of power, nor is she dispensable, and she will definitely become an important character.
In this city!
In this state!
The next day, Delier walked into Doolin's office in a stealthy way, he was so frightened that he thought he was going to be doomed, and he might be buried in the suburbs, or he might be floating on the Onyx River. When he got up this morning, he thanked God again and again for allowing him to live one more day, and it was only when Lady Vivien herself appeared before him and told him to go and gather the ladies that he was truly relieved.
At the same time, he did not forget the task that Durin had given him - if Lady Vivien appeared at his place, he must inform Durin as soon as possible.
By the way, get paid a little.
"How is Lady Vivien, mentally and physically, has she been injured or coerced?" asked Durin, nodding the bill in his hand with his head down, as he counted it. The act of counting the bills also attracted Delier, who looked at the roll of bills and wanted to grab it immediately, if he had the guts.
God is above, and Delier's life is really difficult during this time, Madame Vivien did not hold a tea party, and the mayor's actions have cast a shadow on him, and he has almost no income during this time. Delier, who had been focusing on the thick roll of money in Durin's hand, was stunned for a moment before he immediately explained.
"Lady Vivien is in good spirits, I think she's in better spirits than she was a while ago. She also has a good complexion, and when she speaks, her voice is very powerful, and she comes alone...... By the way, she got a new driver. ”
Durin stopped counting the money and placed two hundred dollars on the table. Looking at the stack of banknotes, Deliel couldn't control the joy in his heart, and reached out and grabbed the stack of banknotes, he was so short of money during this time that he even stopped at his favorite spa. With these two hundred yuan, you don't need to worry about money for at least a month. Just as his fingers were about to touch the bills, Durin grabbed the stack of bills, drawing Delier's attention to Durin's face.
He was a little aggrieved, he had already done what Durin said, why didn't this stack of bills belong to him yet?
