Chapter 361: Answer [1]
His Excellency the Governor said very politely, and the faint mockery in his tone made Lady Vivien's silver teeth clench, but she had no room for rebuttal. She was the one who chose Peter in the first place, and she was the one who violated her father's request, and she was the one who even wanted to break off the father-daughter relationship and did not hesitate to marry Peter. Every choice was made by herself, even if His Excellency the Governor gave her the most correct choice, she also strongly chose her own path to the abyss.
People can do a lot of wrong things, but it's best not to regret it, because regret means that you have denied everything you have been.
Vivien knew this, and when she was a child she sat in the arms of His Excellency the Governor, he told her this, but she had forgotten it, and now she remembered it, so she did not regret it. But don't you really regret it? This is not just a few months and a few years of experience, I have dedicated my best years, but in exchange for a sentence of regret, is it not too worthwhile.
His Excellency the Governor couldn't help but laugh when he looked at his daughter's frosty face, and coughed a few times with a smile. Lady Vivien immediately looked surprised, and she was about to stand up and call the doctor in, but His Excellency the Governor waved his hand, and he refused Lady Vivien's offer to call the doctor, "I don't have much time, let's talk about something else than waste the little time I have left to answer the doctor." ”
"Peter is a liar, but as a politician he is qualified, and if he hadn't sent someone to get rid of you, I would have looked down on him. His Excellency did not seem to be entirely in the position of Lady Vivien, but spoke of Peter's merits, and said: "Any politician needs to play three roles, a good husband, a good father, a responsible officer, and a cold-blooded executioner. If he doesn't play these three roles well, then he must not be a good official. ”
"I looked away, I thought he wouldn't be a good politician, but he was ......," His Excellency the Governor coughed a few more times, "well, don't look at me like that, I'll make him pay, maybe it's not what you want to see, but it's definitely more painful for him than killing him." ”
Lady Vivien frowned, "What are you going to do?"
His Excellency the Governor laughed like a naughty child, in the truest sense of the word, "I will tell my old friends that this guy is trying to hurt my family, and that this is the end of Peter's political career." He will be kicked out of the old party, some of his scandals will be exposed, he will be spurned by everyone and completely insulated from politics. I'm sure that's the cruelest thing an aspiring politician can do, and you know that, right?"
Lady Vivien thought for a moment, and finally nodded slowly, her expression was a little pleasant, she knew what Peter valued most, that is, to take away his most precious things, and then wait until he had nothing left, and then kill him.
During this time, as the first person in the feminist movement in Canles and the representative and leader of the state feminist organization, Mrs. Vivien finally understood where Peter's passion for politics came from, and the feeling of holding the fate of countless people in her hands, and letting her own preferences determine the future of others, was really wonderful!
Recently, she is actively contacting feminist organizations in the imperial capital, planning to set up a "women's rights organization", which will include all women in the near future, and even if some women do not want to join this organization, they will become the "protected persons" of the organization. No matter what situation they encounter, feminist organizations have the right and obligation to stand up for her, and it's terrifying.
They are also discussing how to formulate the protection of women's rights and interests, including a series of things such as work intensity, salary, industry, content, etc., once these things are negotiated, some subtle changes will occur in the entire empire.
Those men didn't dare to behave excessively with the women, or they would have to try what it means to be "widowed".
While he was talking, there was a knock on the door and he declared himself to be the butler of His Excellency the Governor, and His Excellency the Governor asked him to come in, and when he came in, he stood at the door and told the two of them that the child had been given to the Buddha and that he had received it himself. With that, he withdrew, knowing that this was the time for His Excellency the Governor and Miss Vivien to talk about something private, and that it was not convenient for him to sit in and listen, even if neither of them would object to him to attend.
"You trust that kid so much?", His Excellency the Governor was somewhat interested, "you don't even believe your brother, but you believe in a guy who has lied to you?"
Lady Vivien had a smile on her face, "That's my child, but it's also his. If he is willing to train Arthur to be a criminal, that's his business, and he'll at least keep him alive. Besides, he's with Durin now, did I tell you that kid is already the mayor?", Vivien was obviously more interested when she talked about the two of them than she was just now, "It took two years for that guy to go from an insignificant little person to a mayor, and that's a miracle!"
His Excellency the Governor retorted sharply: "Politics is not business, my dear daughter, you know far less about these things than Peter. Maybe all this seems like a miracle to you, but for the lad named Durin, it's someone dealing with him. ”
"Do you think there's any difference between the new party and the old party?"
Lady Vivien was stunned for a moment, and then said a lot of different places, she had been in Turner, she had been in Ordor, she had been to the Imperial Capital and beyond. So she felt very deeply that the new party and the old party are two completely different political groups, if one is sunny, then the other is cloudy.
His Excellency the Governor laughed again, "You don't understand, you really don't understand. Whether it's the new party or the old party, in fact, in my opinion, there is no difference. They are like the palms and backs of the hands, and when you need to use them, the palms are facing up. When you need to use the back of your hand, the back of your hand will be facing up. ”
"Everyone knows that there is a miracle of getting rich overnight in business, and maybe a tycoon can be created by a small inspiration. But politics is different, there is not enough accumulation and enough connections, and putting him in the position of mayor is not a good thing, it is a bad thing. Everyone else is honestly going down the gentle slope towards the top of the mountain, but someone threw him directly on the cliff at the back of the hillside, and he can't go up or down, and he suffers!"
"What's more important is that he doesn't know his situation now!"
His Excellency the Governor has said a lot more, much more than he has said before, and sometimes not even in a week as much as he has said in a small session today. In fact, he knew very well that, as he had said to Vivien before, his time was running out. If he didn't say everything he had to say at this time, maybe he would really regret it at the last moment. Saying something for others to understand and learn does not mean that you have lost it, this is a kind of inheritance, and it is also a kind of alternative eternal life.
They kept talking until it was time for dinner, when Peter made a phone call, and the butler told His Excellency Peter that he was resting, and that he had not made a second call.
Peter actually knew very well in his heart that whether Vivien's car accident was arranged by him or not, he had to be held responsible. He is ready, it took him more than ten years to become a mayor, and it is not so easy to get rid of him.
It was at this tense moment that Dover and Kina finally got off the steam locomotive. The two of them sat all day, and their backs were already sore. If it weren't for the fact that the two people in the middle stood up and moved for a while, they might have sat to the point of doubting their lives. I haven't been on a car for more than ten hours, and I never know that sitting is actually a kind of torture, a kind of pain.
Walking through the streets of Turnaire with two legs that I almost thought were not my own, the city seemed to be like this at all times, with little change and no surprises. It's more prosperous than Otis, but it's lifeless, and the whole city is like a huge tomb, and it doesn't have the same vitality as Otis at all.
After getting out of the car, the two found a small restaurant, had a good meal and asked for some to take away for the evening, and then they found a small hotel to live in. There is a phone booth right outside the door of the hotel, which is more convenient, and such a small hotel will not have too many people to pay attention.
After a brief break and a change of clothes, Du Fo walked into the phone booth with change and under the surprised gaze of passers-by, he stuffed two dollars of coins in one breath before dialing Vivien's phone.
Mr. Butler left a phone number for Dufo, which was from the Governor's Palace.
The phone was quickly connected, and when Mr. Butler heard Dover's voice, a soft smile appeared on his serious face. He picked up the phone and gave it to Vivian, who took the phone and walked out onto the balcony with some surprise.
At this time, there was no other sound on the phone, only two slight breathing sounds, and after a long while, Du Buddha asked, "What's going on over there?"
Lady Vivien turned to look outside and whispered, "It's okay, everything is fine, but I thought you might want to see the child, so I asked the housekeeper to send the child to you." I'll bring him back in a while, you only have a month. ”
The midterm elections were over in a month, and by that time, Peter should have gotten his rightful end.
She also added, "It's really fine, don't believe you came over and have a look?!"
