Chapter 653: Who's in favor and who's against
"Stimulated by your sister's words?"
On the balcony, Bai Yu looked at the silent Cortilia.
"I just...... It felt a little strange. Cortilia gently held her forehead: "When I was still at home, I never thought about this. β
"Because of the presence of you, the holy woman, it is enough to act as a faΓ§ade, just like a big tree, you can stand there to cover the sun and rain." Bai Yu crossed his arms: "And when you disappear, this pressure falls on other people." β
In the final analysis, the name of Archduke Bach is too big, and to support the name of the Bach family, it needs a heavy enough ballast stone.
In general, one is required to be canonized.
If there really was a canonization in the Bach family, he would not have been intimidated by the Roman emperor to take the initiative to sacrifice the principality.
Bach's background is sufficient, but it has not been transformed into strength, they have been eating their old books, so they were ecstatic when they came out of Cortilia, and when they didn't have her to support the faΓ§ade, they immediately ended up in their original form and had to find another way out.
The current marriage is only for the sake of decency.
Of course, in the end, it will come back to the problem itself.
"How are you going to solve it?" Bai Yu asked: "As long as you come forward, this issue can be brought back on track, and the marriage can be stopped." β
"It's just a delay, the fundamental problem has not been resolved." Cortilia held on to the railing and pressed her fingers: "And I don't want to continue to be a saint, on the way back, I was thinking about resigning." β
ββ¦β¦ Can you still resign? β
"Of course you can, the saint is a kind of position, and I will only retain the honorary title after my resignation." Cortilia closed her eyes: "Andrei's death has taught me a simple truth, I was indeed too willful in the past, the world did not work according to my ideas, it was my willfulness that killed him, the position of a saint is of great significance, this is not something that a person like me can afford." β
"You have a bit of the demeanor of a saint now." Bai Yu teased, and then said, "But your father won't agree." β
"That old thing......" Cortilia said, "he should accept the fact that the Bach family has declined, and what is the point of continuing to work hard to support this name?" Could it be that the emperor would look up to him because of this? β
Bai Yu didn't speak.
Acknowledging reality requires the courage to face the pain head-on, and indulging in the glories and fantasies of the past is precisely the characteristic of the aristocracy as a group.
People who live in the old era can't wake up with a few lessons.
Cortilia seemed to have made a decision, and she smiled as soon as she changed her face.
"I want to do one thing now, something bold."
"Maybe it's going to be hard to end, it's just ...... I don't want to think about the consequences anymore. β
"Maybe three years have passed, and this family has been a pool of stagnant water, so we should make a good fuss."
Bai Yu turned sideways and made a 'please' motion.
He had already guessed what Cortilia wanted to do, and instead of dissuading her, he admired her a little.
The Great Xia people didn't realize that their favorability towards her was getting higher and higher...... Even if you realize it, you will think that this is the effect of the universal golden rule.
But seeing that the brave Cortilia was about to push the door out, she suddenly stopped moving, and showed a weak and pitiful expression.
Therefore, it is germinating.
"If something really happens, you must remember to come and save me."
knew that she was handsome for only three seconds.
It's just that......
Bai Yu covered his mouth and nose and replied lightly in a nasal voice.
He hid his expression, because the contrast just now was really cute to him, especially when the ears on the top of his head were pricked up.
β¦β¦
No matter how cute and cute Cortilia behaves in front of Bai Yu, 'aggressiveness' is the main theme of her character.
In fact, every saint of the Holy Church is full of personality, and among the saints with full personality, she is also unique.
The proud daughter of the sky who is gifted with the mysterious golden rule, a girl born with such a script, can use a rope to tie her younger brothers and sisters to go out and walk wolf cubs when she has nothing to do.
Her lawlessness and absurd operation can be felt from just a few words, in this family, she has an absolute throne, and even surpasses her father to a certain extent.
However, Cortilia has never embarrassed her father in front of outsiders.
Unless you can't help it......
At this time, she walked in the direction of the kitchen, and under the gaze of several servants in the house who were flat at first, shocked at first, shocked at third, petrified, she casually took the precious champagne from the hand of a servant, raised her head and drank a sip of courage, and then walked to the living room with the bottle.
At this time in the living room.
The head of the Bach family, the great justice of Bach, feasted at the father and son of the Murfat family at home.
Murfat is a new type of bourgeois aristocracy with great ties to business magnates, so he has a huge influence in political and business circles.
Although Archduke Bach has the title of Grand Duke, he used to follow the royalist line, and now he wants to change his thinking and change to the party line, but he still lacks experience and support, and he is completely a political amateur, so it is particularly important to find a trustworthy partner in advance.
The Murfat family was a suitable marriage partner.
But personally, it doesn't count.
Lena sat at the dining table, obviously fidgeting and nervous, she had just come of age and was only eighteen years old.
And her marriage partner, the eldest son of the Murfat family, is already a middle-aged man of thirty-five, his appearance is remarkable, and he has had two de facto marriages...... Therefore, the wind review is not good.
But since it is a marriage, it has nothing to do with who the specific marriage partner is, what matters is whether the two heads of the family agree...... It's more like whether there are eight pairs of mung beans between two old things.
At the dinner table, Archduke Bach and the head of the Fateh family pushed each other's cups and exchanged lamps.
The Grand Duke also motioned for his daughter to go over and sit with the eldest son of the Fateh family.
Lena walked over, restrained her emotions and greeted politely, but met a pair of rather indifferent eyes.
Jodson, the eldest son of the Fatt family, had a cold gaze, and seemed to have no interest in this beautiful girl who had just turned eighteen.
"After tonight, Bach and Murfat will be engaged...... "but I have no interest in you, this marriage is just a formal marriage, and I want you to know this, and when you marry, you should not pretend to be a mistress." β
Lena clenched the goblet in her hand, and she squeezed out a forced smile: "I don't quite understand what you mean, since it's a marriage, I can also try my best to make you like me, after all, it's to start a family......"
"Little girl, don't impose your vision of marriage on other people." Jodson's eyes were indifferent: "I already have a lover of my own, but I can't make a marriage contract with him for various reasons...... It's just a formality, you are my wife in front of outsiders, but in reality, there are only simple interests between you and me. β
Lena took a deep breath and held back the emotions tumbling in her heart, strong grievances and resentment were growing.
She was just eighteen years old, and she still had a good life and future, but she had to become a victim of marriage, which was already very excessive, but the other party's words hit her to the bottom, and behind the direct showdown this marriage was destined to be a lifetime without happiness.
This made her both aggrieved and desperate.
But she couldn't have a seizure yet, so she could only drink silently, and her movements were too eager, so she choked and practiced coughing.
"Of course." Jodson pressed her shoulder and said, "If you have to do something for me, I will do my duty and give you a child." β
ββ¦β¦β
"It's just that I don't like women, you have to be a laborer."
Lena's eyes widened, she turned her cheek sideways and asked, "Are you humiliating me?" β
"If you think telling the truth is humiliating, that's it." Jodson scoffed: "We all know what reality is, and I don't think it's necessary to say it so badly." β
For a moment, the flames in Lena's eyes seemed to burn the other party to ashes.
But her anger quickly turned to sorrow, and she knew that even if she stretched out her claws, she would not be able to cut through the other party's face.
She also had to be patient, for the sake of the family, for the sake of the family, it was just a small sacrifice.
Jodson didn't say anything on the surface, but he was even more disappointed inside.
If this girl had the guts to splash him with a drink, maybe he would have been able to take a look at the Bach family.
The old man's judgment is correct, and the Bach family is left with a name, an empty shell, and there is nothing to worry about.
Even if Archduke Bach is allowed to enter the Senate, it will be nothing more than going with the flow and fat on the chopping block.
He picked up the wine glass, looked at the empty wine glass, and thought of the current situation of the Bach family, and couldn't help but be presumptuous, and said in a low voice: "Pour me wine." β
He seems to be giving orders to the waiter, but in fact he is speaking to Lena......
The little girl shook her shoulders and raised her hands to grasp the bottle of champagne when she suddenly ......
Boomββ!
A bottle of wine was poured, but it didn't fall into the glass.
Instead, it fell on top of Jodson's head, wetting his not-so-dense hair, down his face and down his neck, wetting the placket and the back of his chest.
The eldest son of the Murfat family was so shocked that he even froze in his seat, not moving, and was poured a whole bottle of champagne.
Lena on the side was also stunned, looking at Qianying who was holding an empty bottle in her hand and throwing it on the table, her eyes were immediately filled with mist.
No matter how much she complained in her heart, the moment she stood up and appeared here, Lena had already forgotten all the mustards.
My sister is still the same sister from the past, and there is no change in the slightest.
The movement on this side was quickly noticed by the other side of the banquet.
The head of the Murfat family and the Grand Duke of Bach each had puzzled and angry expressions.
Archduke Bach angrily clapped the case: "What are you doing! β
"Pour the wine."
The woman standing sideways in the hall replied flatly: "By the way, give this short-eyed bastard a lesson, even my sister dares to call and bully, what are you?" β
Archduke Bach was even more furious: "You ......"
But the next moment, he saw clearly who was speaking, and almost fell back into his seat.
"Li...... Leah ......"
"Hello, father."
Cortilia smiled and looked back, and the peerless appearance of the golden dew of the Holy Maiden reappeared on the land of Europa after a three-year absence.
"How are you, how could you...... You're back? β
Grand Duke Bach didn't have time to be angry, he only felt incredible and surprised, but immediately heard Murfat's cough on the side, he immediately remembered his previous actions, and said with a straight face: "Even if you come back, you shouldn't be so nonsense, quickly apologize to Master Jodson!" β
Cortilia's smile grew sweeter.
"Why apologize?"
"I did what I was supposed to do as an older sister, what's wrong?"
"As for how I got back...... It's very simple, because the Bach family is really disappointing today, because it is too much of a nest, so I am angry and I directly open the coffin, and then run home thousands of miles away, just to kick this kick. β
She turned directly to the side, kicked and kicked on the table, and a dazzling array of dishes and exquisite tableware spilled all over the floor, and in an instant she was in a mess.
The holy woman sighed comfortably, and then said to the Grand Duke.
"Father, daughter, I came back alive from the Yellow Spring!"
"Today's marriage, I am against it!"
"No one can approve of it!"
