This is well known, and because of this, the Melward family has become synonymous with selflessness in the hearts and mouths of the people of the imperial capital, although most of their consumption goes back to the shops and trades of the Melward family.

Especially in the second year, the three million gold coins were already used almost in order to invite those earth magicians, and the Melward family did not hesitate to donate another two million gold coins to the Ministry of Finance.

At that time, it immediately became a hot topic in the news of the imperial capital, and people speculated about how many gold coins the Melward family had, and five million gold coins would be paid.

If it weren't for Gülen, the grandson-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid that even if the old Willard was already a marquis, I am afraid that it would attract the greed and covetousness of others.

So the elder Willard simply made his family's finances public in the newspaper and asked the officials of the Treasury to supervise them, and people were surprised to find that the Melward family had really done something to themselves this time, and after donating another two million gold coins, the family had less than a million gold coins in storage.

This is a donation of nearly ninety percent of the belongings, and some people didn't believe it at first, but since it's public, it's not afraid of being checked.

With the Melward family abandoning their defense, some of the nobles with some abilities can easily check their financial situation, and the result is obvious, they are not lying at all, and they can't help but put away those hearts that they shouldn't have.

This move immediately won the praise of everyone in the imperial capital, and the Melward family immediately became the first good in the imperial capital, although their family's financial resources were not as good as before, but their reputation skyrocketed.

The family wealth accumulated for more than 100 years said that it would be donated, so that too many people could not understand, even the people within the Melward family were a little incomprehensible, although they did not say it, but in their hearts they were very dissatisfied with the decision of the head of the family.

But what they didn't know was that gold coins were really not an important thing in the eyes of old Willard, and these people had no access to family secrets.

As the president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Flandy built new factories such as printing houses and textile mills, but they didn't cost a single copper coin, and they were all supported by the Melward family.

Naturally, these factories have a certain amount of shares of the Meier family, although they do not account for too many shares, but as the new factories have become bigger and bigger in recent years, those gold coins are like newly installed tap water in the homes of the people of the imperial capital, flowing into the family vault.

Not to mention anything else, just the wheat ear farm, all the farmers around the imperial capital who grow new rice have to buy it from here, and the "fertilizer" produced by the garbage recycling factory is also sold by the farm.

Coupled with the uniqueness of those super fruits and vegetables, the net profit of the farm handed over to the family every year reached as much as 200,000 gold coins.

This is just a humble farm, and with the family's huge other sales, the amount of gold that can be earned each year is the family's top secret.

Except for the two uncles of the head of the family, Willard and Flandy, the others don't know at all, not to mention the future development, just now it won't take a few years to recover the five million gold coins.

Such a good thing that is not costly, but those people in the family don't know at all, of course, when they grow up and can participate in the family's decision-making, they will know the good intentions of old Willard.

Like Frandi's previous life, Li Bing and his son, presided over the construction of Dujiangyan, an early irrigation project in China, which was commemorated by later generations for more than 2,000 years, not to mention that the Melward family threw out five million gold coins with real money.

At least for a thousand years, as long as the children of the family do not die, it is enough to gnaw at the old capital.

......

The head of the Melward family was seriously ill, which naturally involved the attention of all kinds of people, and the Marquis Mansion did not know how many people came to visit, including the children of the family, the stewards of various shops or family businesses, and many family heads of the imperial capital.

If it was a few years ago, it would be impossible for the great nobles of the imperial capital to care about the life and death of a small viscount, even if this viscount could be regarded as the richest man in Oskaia.

But today, a few years later, almost all the heads of the great nobles have set foot in the Marquis of Melward's palace and offered their concerns.

Without him, it is only because His Majesty the Emperor has postponed the government since yesterday and has been accompanying him in the palace of the Marquis of Melward.

Ordinary people naturally just go through the process to express their concern for the health of the head of the Melward family, go to the steward to make a note, and then put down the gift and leave, it is impossible to be invited into the inner house.

Even the families of the former business partners, due to the difference in status now, are at most invited into the living room for a drink and sit for a while.

Only the true head of a great noble family is qualified to be received by Flandy's two uncles, Cord and Lowry, but if you want to enter the inner mansion to meet old Willard, you have to see if you have a chance.

At this time, in the master bedroom, only a few close relatives were present, and everyone else was blocked out.

Two days ago, the news that the head of the family was seriously ill had sent someone to Flandy's magic tower to report it.

Anne was in the Magic Tower at the time, and when she heard that her grandfather was seriously ill, she hurriedly took her servants to Psalar Island and told Lawrence and Emia the news.

Hearing that Abba was seriously ill, Amya was of course anxious, and immediately returned to the Marquis' Mansion in the imperial capital with Anne and others.

The first thing I did when I came back was naturally to send someone to find Cathy, the "goddess of life", in the newly built but not yet fully established "hospital".

Hearing that the teacher's grandfather was seriously ill, Cathy immediately took a few senior brothers to the Marquis de Melward's mansion together.

However, when she carefully checked the identity of old Willard, she found that he was not seriously ill, but that his body was too old to be overwhelmed, and even his internal organs were weakened. It's just that the medicine stone is ineffective.

Although the healing technique can heal the wound, it is only to use the energy of life to make up for and accelerate the healing of the body, for this kind of natural aging, it is impossible to cure at all, at most it is to slightly prolong the life for a period of time.

After dozens of consecutive healing sessions, the elder Willard finally recovered from a semi-comatose state, and the life force generated by the healing technique played some role in his body, but he was still powerless.

At that time, she sent a message to her teacher Flandi, but unfortunately, she sent a message at most, and there was no way to explain the situation in detail, although Flandi received this message, she didn't know that her grandfather was seriously ill, so she just replied to the letter she received.

With Cathy instilling vitality, old Willard's body has been greatly nourished, and he can live at least a few more days, and Cathy doesn't know how long she can last, so she hesitated for a moment and didn't send the most urgent message.

No matter who it is, as long as it sends the most urgent message, Flandi will definitely appear by his "her" side instantly, but everyone knows why Flandi left, and they don't want to disturb him until the critical moment.

After secretly telling Anne about Willard Sr.'s physical condition, Anne told her Abba Mom and Aunt.

Originally, everyone wanted to hide it from old Willard, but perhaps people who were dying had some premonitions, and under the insistence of old Willard, Flandy's grandmother finally decided to tell him the true condition of his own body.

Unexpectedly, after knowing that he had not lived long, the old Willard was not very excited, but accepted this fact very calmly.

In Willard Sr.'s own words, In this life, he has enjoyed all the glory and wealth, has both children and a prosperous family, and has no regrets.

Since it's time to go, there is no need for everyone to be sad, at least with Cathy here, there will be no pain for me, my life is so complete, it is already God's favor, what else can I not be satisfied with.

So everyone listened to him, just like celebrating his birthday every year, laughing and laughing with him, Gülen also put aside his identity as an emperor, just like ordinary juniors, he has been here with Anne with the old Willard.

Two days ago, the elder Willard had already instructed his two sons to do all the things he should have instructed, and when he died, the eldest son Kord would become the head of the Melward family, and his own marquis status would also be inherited by him.

With Gülen here, everything is much simpler, because his words can be decided, and no one dares to oppose it.

Maybe it's because Cathy has been by the side from time to time to perform a "healing technique" on old Willard, and a large amount of life force is infused into his body, although it is not of much use to the weakening of the body, but at least the old man's spirit is not bad, and his mind is also very clear, which is very different from the previous state of coma.

At this moment, old Willard was holding a little boy on his left and a little girl on his right, especially the little boy on his left, and he loved it very much.

These two children are born to Anne and Gülen, the boy is called Edward, the girl is called Debbie, is Anne's twins born on the same day, this year is two and a half years old, just learned to speak, the vocabulary is not much, but under the special teaching, has learned the word "Zuzu".

With Cathy's young lady here, the two children are in excellent condition, much healthier than ordinary children, although it is not known whether they have magical talents, but as the direct descendants of the royal family, whether they can become magicians in the future or not, they are not something that ordinary people can look up to.

Holding little Edward, old Willard was extremely proud, if nothing else, this would be His Majesty the 36th Emperor of Oskelia, although His Majesty the Emperor is his grandson-in-law, but he can't compare to this little boy with the blood of the Melward family.
