Chapter 6 ******
Du Yuqi listened to Count Ratnes' narration, the expression on his face was also a little strange, and when he got to the back, he even looked disdainful, and couldn't help frowning and looking at Count Ratnes, he had only heard of the corruption and cruelty of the nobles before, but he didn't expect to say it from the old man's mouth at this time, and then he knew that the civilians on the Arad continent were living so hard.

The story told by Count Ratnes is related to the most notorious ****** possessed by the nobility, to put it simply, the first night of all unmarried women in the noble domain is a sacred and inviolable right belonging to the lord, and the groom can only retreat, if he wants his wife not to be occupied for the first time, either he will marry an ugly wife or have fox smell, bad breath or something, let the lord give it up, or pay for it.
Although the Earl of Ratnes is also lustful, after all, he is seventy or eighty, and he is unable to cope with the family alone, and this ****** has not been exercised for a long time, even if he occasionally publicly says that he wants to exercise it, it is only a deliberate threat, knowing that the groom has money and wants to make a fortune.
However, a year ago, when he was returning from hunting, he walked to a town near the city of Châtley, and suddenly noticed that a family was having a wedding.
When hunting, the Earl of Ratnes drank most of the deer blood, and ate roast venison and other hot things, although the bride looked average, but her breasts were very plump, and she was wearing a tight wedding dress, which immediately attracted the eyes of the old fellow of the Earl of Ratnest, and I don't know why, I actually felt that a long-lost heat came out of the dantian, so I moved my index finger, and stayed here that night, and secretly exercised my ****** in the middle of the night.
This incident was not a big deal in the first place, because the reward of Count Ratnes afterwards was also very rich, and even the bride and groom, although helpless, could only endure the matter and consider themselves unlucky, and even the Count of Rat Ness himself forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, two or three months ago, when the Earl of Ratnes returned from hunting again, he habitually ate in the "Windmill and Mill" tavern in the north of the city, and saw this bride again.
At this time, the Earl of Ratnes had no feelings for the bride, but wondered why he was so impulsive to marry her at that time, but at this time, the baby boy in the bride's arms, Paul, attracted him, because although the baby was young, the appearance was eight or nine points similar to that of the Earl of Ratnes himself, and even the black mole on his nose was exactly the same!
Obviously, it didn't take any identification to know that the baby was the illegitimate son of Earl Ratness.
Why did the family still raise it knowing that it was a wild seed outside, but because the bride and groom were from very ordinary backgrounds, they found that Count Ratnes was generous, and naturally wanted to make a windfall.
There is a saying that tigers do not eat their children, and although the Earl of Ratnes is cunning and ruthless, he has no way to ignore his son.
However, he already has three adult sons, the eldest one is in his fifties, and the three sons have already made a fuss about the inheritance, and they are all jackals, tigers and leopards.
Therefore, the Earl of Ratnes told no one about this, and quietly went to the house of the illegitimate son one night with his closest servants, and gave them a wealth that could be called a huge amount of money for ordinary people, and told them that they should move away quickly, and find a place to live well for the rest of their lives.
The family secretly investigated, and knew that all that Count Ratnes said was the truth, so they listened to his words and prepared to leave, but it was difficult to leave their homeland, and it was always difficult to make the decision to leave their homeland, and at the same time, the family was not a destitute class, but they also had a house, a few acres of land, and refused to sell cheaply when selling houses and land, and always wanted to get a good price, so they delayed.
Not long after the Earl of Ratnes gave the money, he accidentally contracted pneumonia, and he was seventy or eighty years old, and he was seriously injured on the battlefield in his early years, and his vitality was injured, and he was very weak, so the illness came very quickly, and he had thought of any way, and he could only survive until now.
At present, the men of the Ratnes family have been wiped out, and the person who can have the bloodline of the Ratnes family and have the right to inherit the title of earl, then there is only one left, but this most inconspicuous illegitimate son Paul, Count Ratnes did not expect that his impulse would become the last hope for the continuation of the family bloodline!
And after Count Ratnes said this, Du Yuqi knew that it must have something to do with his illegitimate son, and he was naturally relieved in his heart, because this was not too difficult after all, but he suddenly remembered one more thing, so he frowned and said:
"It's okay for me to protect this bastard son of yours, but it's impossible to guarantee that he will inherit the title smoothly, you have to figure it out. Although I am from another world, I also know that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between a great nobleman like you and a king, and it is something that the king cannot ask for to recover your territory and turn it into a land under the direct jurisdiction of the king!
Earl Ratnes heard Du Yuqi agree to this, and showed a weak smile:
"It doesn't matter, at the beginning of the empire, my ancestors paid blood and sacrifice for the establishment of the country, so that they have the current high royal power, even if the king is high, even if the nobles will have internal strife and even blood feuds before, but all the nobles will directly join together to unite with the outside world when it comes to the demise of a certain family, and it is reasonable to fight for it, this aspect is a forbidden area that the king does not dare to touch, because once his behavior is misunderstood as taking some measure to take back the fiefdom of the nobles, then what awaits him is the civil war initiated by all the nobles!”
