Chapter 55: The Emperor's Proposal (Recommend! Subscription)
Mrs. Li Kerst glanced at Situ Wan and Situ Lei Yao, and said to Situ Jin: "If you don't come back, Wan'er and Lei Yao will brave the heavy rain to go to the military camp to find you!"
Situ Jin looked at his younger brothers and sisters, and said in a doting tone: "I promised you in the morning that I would come back in the evening to have dinner with you, do you think my brother has forgotten?"
Situ Wan and Situ Lei Yao both showed a trace of embarrassed smiles on their faces, these days, as the relationship between them and Situ Jin has deepened, the two sisters and brothers have become more and more dependent on their elder brother. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I've got dinner ready, so let's get in and eat!" said Mrs. Lee Kerster.
Situ nodded and walked into the hall with his feet up, only to find Erwin and Bedwell sitting at a table in the center of the hall, as if they were discussing something intensely.
Following Situ Jin's line of sight, Mrs. Lee Kerst whispered to Situ Jin: "The two of them have been like this for a whole afternoon!"
Situ Jin smiled slightly: "I'll go up and change my clothes first, you tell them to rest first, if there is any problem, I'll talk about it after eating!" After speaking, he walked quickly upstairs.
By the time Situ Jin changed his clothes and came down again, everyone was already sitting at the dining table waiting for him!
Situ Jin walked to his place and sat down, motioning for everyone to start eating.
Suddenly, Situ Jin thought of something, he looked at Erwin and said: "By the way, Erwin, you have been on the island for some days, there are still many high-end mansions in the city that are temporarily unoccupied, if you have time, you can go down and see which one you like, and then move in directly!"
Mrs. Lee Kerst also looked up at Erwin, "That mansion next to me is good, why don't you move next to me and be my neighbor?"
To everyone's surprise, Erwin slowly put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and said, "Lord Baron, I like the environment of your house very much, if you don't hate seeing me every day, please allow me to live here!"
"En?" Situ Jin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly: "How can I hate to see you, I'm afraid of wronging you!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Bedwell even spoke: "The high-ranking people on our island have been assigned their own mansions, and now that you are the chief minister of state on the island, how can you do without your own mansion?!"
Erwin still shook his head: "I'm alone, there's no need to waste the residential resources on the island for these few feet! What's more, I really like the environment in the Baron's Palace, and I can't bear to let me leave here!"
Seeing Erwin's resolute attitude, Situ thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, the right castle on my house has not been inhabited since it was built, how about I give him to you?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Erwin's eyes, and then he immediately said, "No, no...... This is your mansion, and I can't take over the magpie's nest!"
"What did you say!" Situ Jin looked at Erwin: "You are my chief administrative officer, what is it to give you a castle! If you like me here, I will let Lu Wei build you a new mansion here, anyway, I have a big place here!"
"Thank you for your kindness!Lord Baron!" Erwin looked at Situ Jin seriously, and said with a straight face: "But I really don't need to! I think it's good now, please don't bother with me anymore!"
"Okay!" Situ Jin sighed: "Then when you need it, tell me at any time!"
Erwin nodded, and although he didn't show anything on his face, in fact, his heart was very moving.
After dinner, the servant put hot water for Situ Jin, who was about to go upstairs to take a hot bath, but Hurt took Geraint and hurriedly walked into the castle from the outside.
"Geraint?" Situ Jin was a little surprised, "Why are you here so late?"
Geraint shook the rain off her body, and then glanced at Mrs. Lee Kerst, who was sitting next to Situ Jin, with a look of wanting to say something.
"What's the matter? Just say it!" Situ Jin keenly sensed that what Gerantt was about to say might have something to do with Mrs. Lee Kerster.
Sure enough, as soon as Geraint opened his mouth, he confirmed Situ Jin's guess: "Situ ...... Baron, I have just received in person the envoy sent by His Majesty Robert to our island! The man who came said that he had been commissioned by His Majesty Robert to come here to propose marriage to Mrs. Lee Kerst!"
Geraint finished in one breath, and the hall was silent.
Mrs. Lee Kerster's face turned pale, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Situ Jin.
Situ Jin frowned slightly: "Propose? What kind of trouble is Robert making trouble?"
Erwin, who was sitting at the table drinking tea on the side, suddenly burst out laughing and said, "It seems that our majesty is a little poor in donkey skills! That's why he hit Madame with the idea!"
Bedwell sat across from Erwin, looking a little puzzled, "Your Excellency, what do you mean by that?"
"It's very simple!" Erwin said with a smile: "In the past year, the empire has lost and retreated in wars with the four small surrounding countries, and now the domestic economy is withering, and I am afraid that there is no money in the treasury for a long time!
"I see!" Bedwell nodded.
Erwin is right, in fact, in the past few years since Situ Jin left the Yarrow Empire, Robert has not stopped his tender offensive against Mrs. Li Kerst, which is why not long after Situ Jin returned to the territory, this lady immediately moved to the island with her family, mainly to avoid Robert from afar!
However, Robert had been relatively gentle with Mrs. Lee Kerst before, and had no intention of forcing Mrs. Lee Kerster, but now, he had to use force!
It's no wonder that a young and beautiful widow like Mrs. Lee Kerster, who is rich enough to rival the country, how could Robert not hit this lady with his idea!
Of course, no matter how stupid this Majesty was, he knew that a few words alone would not be able to get Mrs. Lee Kerst to agree to his marriage proposal! So this time he asked the envoy to bring a message to Mrs. Lee Kerster, and if he did not see her appear in front of him within two weeks, he would seal off all the properties of the Lee Kerster family in the imperial capital!
Although she had not yet seen the envoy, Mrs. Lee Kerst was such a shrewd woman that almost as soon as she heard that Gerantt had just finished speaking, she immediately guessed what Robert would do to her!
In fact, in the past year, Mrs. Lee Kerst has been withdrawing the valuable property of the Lee Kerst family in the imperial capital, but such a huge industry is very related to all parties, and this lady does not want her actions to be noticed by Robert, so there are still many properties in the emperor that have not been withdrawn.
