"Your dad is so strong, why did you come out to do business."

Xia En spread his hands helplessly, "There's no way, my family started with this, and my two elder brothers also came out of business, and now they have completed the primitive accumulation, and they are working hard in those big cities." ”

"Then the people of your family are miserable enough."

"It's okay, I'm glad I met you, otherwise I'll have to run for a few more years, and now I've handed over the work of the following merchants to the people below, and I'm currently focusing on this iodized salt, and it is estimated that the sales volume will not be bad after MSG comes."

"The conversation has diverged, let's move on to Lady Sophia." Claire pulled the conversation back.

"Oh! Anyway, now she is the current head of their family, and their family is very wide-ranging, anyway, compared to us, it is the gap between the Titans and the ants, I just don't know how she fell in love with us, and she has to come to meet in person, usually this kind of thing is only to send one of her subordinates. "Sean is not arrogant enough to think that the other party is personally killed because of his identity.

Although his identity as the third son of the head of the Ansel family is enough to bluff people, it is not enough to see compared to the other party, at least before he inherited the title, and he doesn't know if he can inherit the title.

"How old is she?" Claire continued to ask, not for any particular reason, just casually.

"I don't know, the age of those female nobles is the same as a mystery, few people can know their age, but I can tell you that she is a big beauty, with a good figure, like a big white pear, and she looks very beautiful, I have seen it a few times at aristocratic gatherings, and I am very impressed, there are few women in the royal capital who are more beautiful than her." As she spoke, Sean turned into a scene of praise for Sophia.

"Is it really that pretty?" Claire couldn't help but ask as she listened to Shane's exaggerated description.

"She's not the kind of person who doesn't have a pretty problem, she really is...... How to say it, it's very tempting, one word: Run! ”

Sean pursed his lips, "Anyway, you'll be able to feel it when you see it." ”

Claire listened to his description and came up with a rough picture, and said softly: "Peach type light mature woman, I didn't expect you to like this type." ”

"You're right, the only pity is that she's married." Shane smacked his lips.

"Isn't it normal to be married?"

"No, her husband is a waste, that is, a very ordinary baron in the royal capital, who is not good-looking, and has no ability, and I don't know how she fell in love with that person, anyway, after the news came out, the single nobles in the entire royal capital during that time were buying drunk to kill their sorrows every day, shouting: Where am I inferior to him! , who has become a family, has also beaten his chest, and the aristocratic circle of the entire royal capital has been languishing for nearly a month before it has eased, although she is divorced now, there are still many nobles pursuing her. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Claire exclaimed.

"It's not an exaggeration at all, just ask a local in the royal capital and everyone knows that there is something going on."

Claire also tried to recall the previous memories, and really found a little memory about this, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so he didn't remember it very clearly.

"And what about her strength?"

"Business prowess? Very strong, my father commented on her, a business wizard rarely seen in hundreds of years, and their family rose to the next level after she took over, and she also got the national chain of stores, which is now one of the important economic pillars of the Auguste family. ”

"But such a shrewd woman's vision shouldn't be so bad, right, the baron she chose is really useless at all?"

"Really no, some people thought so at the beginning, maybe she found out what bright spots about that man, but they have been married for more than ten years, and her ex-husband will only ask her for money, what business and what business will go bankrupt, I heard that there are still flowers and grass outside, and those nobles who originally admired Sophia are angry, if it weren't for Sophia sending someone to stop him, it is estimated that he would have killed that person." As Shane spoke, he hated it too.

"But after she inherited the title of earl, the baron was still messing with flowers outside, and then she gave her ex-husband millions of gold coins, and then divorced, and is still unmarried."

Sean kept feeling sorry, although he knew that a woman like Sophia wouldn't take a fancy to him, but it was really fucked up, that person was a bastard like this, and he could get millions of gold coins if he divorced, and Sean had the heart to kill him.

"Everyone's evaluation of her is: a perfect woman, except for some blindness." Shane said jokingly: "It's a pity, if I could have been born more than ten years earlier, maybe I could save her." ”

However, Claire's eyes narrowed, "After hearing you say that, I don't think it's that simple." ”

"How?" Shane is also interested, and every time he talks to Claire, he always realizes something new.

"Let me ask you a few questions first, what is the order of succession of the Augustian family?"

"It's different from my family, we rely on our strength to break out outside, whoever is strong is in the position, and the rest of the people are assisted, and everyone is convinced. The Augustian family seems to have been primogeniture, like ordinary nobles. ”

"What is Sophia's first pick?"

"Third in line, she has two older brothers above her."

"Did that baron join the Augustian family?"

"Right...... It's really a complication. Shane seemed to see something through the fog, but he couldn't reach for it.

"Both brothers are dead?"

"No... The eldest brother accidentally encountered a flying monster on the way back from going out to discuss business, but her second brother is now working for the August family in a big city outside the royal capital. ”

"Isn't that a clear scene?"

"Huh?" Shane still didn't understand a little, and hurriedly said, "You have aroused my curiosity, tell me more!" ”

"I don't know if it's right or not, you just listen to it as if it's a story." Claire said first.

"According to the convention between nobles, after marrying a female nobleman, unless all the male heirs in the family die, there is no inheritance, right?"

Shane nodded repeatedly, wanting to hear Claire continue.

"Then you contact the questions I asked you before, Sophia's husband is rich, which means that she is not married, nor is she far away from the power center of the August family, so she is still the third heir of the August family, and she is not far from the power center at all, and some things in the family can also be intervened."

"This is the most crucial step, if she marries, it will be very difficult to get the title of earl, so she has found a son-in-law so that she can continue to stay in the Augustian family."

"Then it is to let that baron go out and ruin his reputation, reduce his threat, and at the same time secretly win over more people and hold more power, coupled with her excellent business ability, she should have mastered most of the business of the August family in the past ten years of marriage to that baron, but this is not enough, she has two heirs above her......"

"So her eldest brother died?" Shane gasped.

Claire nodded in agreement, and continued, "When her eldest brother died, did the head of the Auguste family die?" ”

The corners of Shane's mouth twitched, "I'm not dead yet, in less than half a year after Sophia's eldest brother died, she handed over all the property of the August family to Sophia, and she also became a countess from that time." ”

A huge wave was set off in Shane's heart, those things that originally seemed to him to be just so ordinary, there was such an earth-shattering wave hidden in his back, and he didn't realize it at all over the years, it was completely regarded as a pastime before and after tea, if it wasn't for Claire to wake him up, he would still be Sophia blind now.

Shane now even suspects that the previous head of the August family was forced to give up the throne after Sophia killed her eldest brother and completely took control of the Auguste family, and her second brother survived because he didn't stop the other party from inheriting the title.

"So my assessment of her is: a shrewd and perfect woman." Claire smacked her lips.

"Impossible, how can this kind of thing be hidden from everyone! My father didn't even tell me. Sean rubbed his head.

"Maybe your father knows, but he just doesn't want to tell you juniors, and I said it before, it's just a story, just listen to it." Claire laughed.

Shane thought about it, it was not impossible, if it was really as Claire guessed, his father would not be able to tell the inside story even if he knew a little bit about it.

Claire patted Shane on the shoulder, "Isn't it a good thing if that's true?" This means that she and that ex-husband may not have had any intimate relationship, and you still have a chance. ”

Sean shuddered, "No, no, I'm a little scared of her when I hear you say that." ”

Shane wiped the cold sweat on his forehead that didn't exist at all, suddenly remembered something, and jumped up suddenly.

"That's not right! My eldest sister seems to have taken a fancy to a lord too! I want to include him in our family! She probably wanted to emulate Countess Sophia! ”

"Uh......" Claire was a little speechless, and Sean became a frightened bird after hearing the story.

"Don't be surprised, isn't your family on the top by strength? What does it matter if she is looking for a son-in-law? ”
