After some frolicking, An An suddenly looked at me and said, "Grace is leaving Paradise Island, do you want to send her off?" ”

"Grace leaving?" I was surprised and asked, "Where is she going?" Isn't she the head of the clinic? If she leaves, where will the people on the island go to see a doctor? ”

"Grace isn't the only one at the Island Clinic, Floyd, Alyssa, and I'm not all doctors! And there will be other new doctors to add later. ”

"That's true, but why did she leave suddenly?"

"Grace's mother has died, and she has to return to the British Empire to deal with her mother's funeral. There is also the fact that she wants to find someone to marry as soon as possible. ”

"What!" An An's words surprised me again and again, I only knew that Grace's father was a noble officer in the British Empire, and later died in order to cover the retreat of the high-level field observation group led by Prince William, and she almost never mentioned her mother. And what else I don't understand is that after Glass's mother died, Grace had to find someone to marry as soon as possible.

"Is this what Grace herself told you? I can understand her mother who died and went back to mourn, but why did she want to find someone to marry as soon as possible? I asked, puzzled.

"What? Are you in a hurry? I can remind you that your current wife is Long Xin'er, and if you marry again, you will be guilty of bigamy. "An An didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot, and even teased me.

I pinched her nose and said, "What nonsense? What is the crime of bigamy and not the crime of bigamy, is there a crime of bigamy in this world now? ”

"Alright, alright, no kidding. The reason why Grace wants to find someone to marry as soon as possible is related to the laws of the British Empire. After her father's death, the queen not only posthumously made him a duke, but also rewarded him with a large amount of wealth and land, but according to the laws of the empire, only his male immediate family could inherit the title and property, and before that, the property and land had to be supervised and kept by his family elders. Grace's father had only one daughter, Grace, and her father had no brothers of his own, so Grace's husband became the first and only heir. Before Grace got married, these inheritances were supervised and kept by her mother, but now that her mother has died, if Grace cannot get married within a month, then his father's estate must be handed over to another elder relative of his family for safekeeping, according to the order, this person will be a collateral uncle, but this uncle has never had a good reputation, and his family's property has long been lost, not only is he a drunkard but also a good gambler, if Grace's father's inheritance falls into his hands, It is estimated that when Grace gets married and inherits it, there will only be chicken feathers left. So in order to keep her father's inheritance, Grace must find someone to marry as soon as possible. ”

"This is all nonsense legal provisions, it is really ridiculous, as a daughter, she can't directly inherit her father's inheritance. However, even so, does Grace really plan to find someone to marry at random? Marriage is not child's play. I said with some concern.

"What can she do? Grace told me that her mother had written to her several times before she died, telling her that the inheritance must not fall into the hands of that uncle, or everything that his father had bought with his life would be ruined. ”

After understanding these situations, I asked An An to go back first, and I went to Grace after arranging the production tasks of today's distillery, I don't believe that there is no other way, I really can't wait for Duke Jackson to come to Paradise Island and ask him to think of a way, Grace's father sacrificed in order to cover the retreat of their gang, he shouldn't want to see Grace fall into such an embarrassing situation.

After returning to the distillery, Rockefeller and the others also got up and began to work, Rockefeller quietly told me that now the technicians and workers of the entire distillery are their own people, although he did not directly tell everyone everything, but he also revealed that although those technicians and workers were all found by Duke Jackson, they could not be called the duke's own people, as long as they could make them have benefits, they would support us, even if they did not support, at least they would not go out and talk nonsense.

I patted Rockefeller on the shoulder, "Well, if you don't do it, work harder, you will be my right-hand man in the future, I can't guarantee that I can help you realize your dreams, but at least I can guarantee that you will be prosperous and rich from now on." ”

After settling the matter on the winery's side, I hurried to the Boulder camp first, because according to our plan, we had to arrange for the group of Suel's students to leave as soon as possible, after all, they were all republican revolutionaries, and from the point of view of the British Empire, they were rebels, so even Paradise Island should not stay for long.

But when I arrived at the camp, I realized that the students, after a night of thinking, suddenly did not want to go back to Suel.

"Not going back? So where do you want to go? Don't tell me what republican revolution you want to preach, if that's the case, then I'll send you the Golden Isles at once. ”

"Xiao Han, don't get excited, they thought about it yesterday, and now if they return to Suel, it will not only be a long road full of dangers, but more importantly, after returning to Suel, they will not be able to explain to the families of those dead companions, but they may be accused and attacked as cowards and traitors." Sister Hongmei explained with a motherly look.

"So what are they going to do if they don't go back? There was no school for them to study for the time being, and Duke Jackson was about to come to Paradise Island again, and it was better not to mention the word revolution, so they could not go anywhere except to stay in the camp. ”

"I also agree with Sister Hongmei." Lin Ruyi said, "These students are quite pitiful, it is not right for them to blindly come out to preach the revolution, but it is not a hurtful thing, if we have to send them away, then can we be at peace in our hearts?" Didn't we talk about special seeds yesterday, and these students could just stay and help out so they could have something to do, and we wouldn't have to hire any more labor. ”

I couldn't resist Sister Hongmei and the others, so I had to agree to let those students stay first, but I told them not to reveal their identities, and if anyone asked, they would say that they were counter-revolutionaries who ran away from the Republic of Suel.

Things settled in the camp, I rushed to the clinic non-stop, Grace was really leaving, Alyssa and Zhou Anan were helping her pack her things, after seeing me, Grace smiled at me, her eyes were full of loneliness and helplessness.

To be honest, I don't know how to comfort her at this time, her mother died, and I can say something about the change of condolences, but she is forced to find someone to marry, and I don't have a better idea for a while.

After packing up, Grace suddenly invited me to the beach, and I understood that this was really going to say goodbye to me.

Walking on the beach near the pier, occasionally some children are smiling and running by, and seabirds in the distance are also joining in the fun, changing their postures and constantly passing over our heads.

"You, there's really no other way?" I was the first to break the silence and asked.

"No one can change the laws of the Empire." Grace shook her head and sighed.

"Can you go find James? He's always been your admirer of love. ”

"Looking for him? He's just the governor of the most distant overseas possessions of the Empire, and it's better to go to Duke Jackson than to go to him, and if he asks me to marry him, do you think I'll agree?" Grace asked with a faint look at me.
