The Rothschilds, inside the castle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing off all the guests, James lay on his back on the wicker chair with a tired face, his face slightly gray, as if he had aged much more overnight, and the wrinkles between his brows seemed to increase.

Slight footsteps sounded, and Butler Slow walked into the study with Delin, Meryl, and another middle-aged man.

Meryl was holding a bowl of ginseng soup in her hand, and when she saw her father's haggard look, there was a touch of distress in her eyes.

"Dad, you haven't even eaten breakfast, this is your daughter's stewed ginseng soup, you can drink some." Meryl placed the soup bowl on the desk and whispered.

James opened his cloudy old eyes, looked at his children and smiled: "Delin, have the guests left Paris safely?" ”

"Yes, father, but Nissan of the Morgan family, as well as the Sriland parliamentarian of Poland and the rest of the people did not leave, just now our people came with the news that their convoy went to Catherine's villa." Delin hesitated slightly, and said softly.

James lowered his eyes, nodded and sighed lightly: "These people are all friends with the Satan Organization, and they know that Meng Qiuyu is the Grim Reaper, so they will naturally visit." ”

Looking at the middle-aged man beside Meryl, James muttered for a moment: "Is the transfer agreement for those minerals in the Drant, Poland and Slovakia ready?" ”

The middle-aged man frowned, and said with some unwillingness: "Father, it took me five years to get those minerals, and we have invested too much manpower and financial resources over the years, so we gave them to Meng Qiuyu, not only am I unwilling, but my team is also unconvinced." ”

Glancing at Delin, the middle-aged man continued: "Father, although Meng Qiuyu is Catherine's man, he is an outsider after all, even if you want to give Catherine some property, so many minerals are too heavy. ”

Delin took a deep breath and spoke; "Father, Tarrant is right, although Catherine is my daughter, she has not contributed much to the family, and such a generous gift is indeed heavy. Trant put a lot of effort and effort into these projects, and that's not fair to him. ”

Steward Slow lowered his head and smiled bitterly, he also knew that James's decision shocked and dissatisfied everyone in the family, but how did they know that James was also helpless, this was his mistake, if he did not cede big interests, not only could he not get the forgiveness of death, but the two sides could also become enemies.

With the heavy blow suffered by the Rothschild family now, how to deal with the suppression of the Sun King without the powerful ally of the Grim Reaper? When the time comes, not to mention losing more benefits, even the family is also facing a situation of defeat.

Instead of answering the questions of his two sons, James looked at his most important daughter, Meryl, who gave him the most headache and the most proud.

"Meryl, what do you think?"

Hearing her father's inquiry, Meryl glanced at her two older brothers, muttering as she organized her own language.

After everything was over last night, James gathered all the children of the family, informed Meng Qiuyu of the identity of the Satanic Organization of the Grim Reaper, and proposed to give away eleven minerals in China and Europe unconditionally, of course, he said that it was Catherine's dowry.

He was embarrassed to say that he couldn't calculate Meng Qiuyu, and his wrong judgment almost caused a catastrophe for the family, and he was forced to agree to the wild bear's proposal in desperation.

James is full of words in the family, although the children can't understand their father's decision in their hearts, but no one dares to object, but in private, there are speculations and complaints, Meryl knows the value of eleven minerals, and gave it to Meng Qiuyu for nothing, and no one is unwilling.

"Father, brother and sister all feel that your decision is a bit sudden, and they can't understand or accept it for a while, after all, the family has not experienced such a large outflow of property for hundreds of years, and this daughter is as unwilling as they are."

Seeing the two elder brothers nodding their heads again and again, Meryl changed her tone and continued: "But my daughter trusts her father's judgment, and you must have your own reasons for making such a decision. ”

An imperceptible brilliance flashed in her beautiful eyes, and Meryl chuckled: "Catherine is the daughter of the eldest brother and the eldest granddaughter of the Rothschild family, she has her own ideals, and she is also a little rebellious, she does not participate in the family business, and she has indeed not contributed to the family for so many years." ”

"But I know we all misunderstood her, eldest brother, third brother, do you remember the crisis that the family experienced three years ago? Our business information was stolen by an international hacker group, and if it weren't for Catherine reminding me of how big our losses were, we did an assessment at the time that the equivalent of the family not making money in five years. ”

Hearing her words, James also suddenly realized, nodded and said: "Yes, that incident was indeed Catherine who woke you up, and now that I think about it, it should be the Grim Reaper who knew the news and asked her to inform the family." ”

Seeing that the two elder brothers also softened and agreed with their words, Meryl smiled: "At that time, none of us investigated how Catherine knew this news, and we all focused on searching for the hacker organization and solving the crisis, and now that I think about it, Catherine did not contribute to the family, but she saved the family from a big crisis." ”

"Last night we were in a very dangerous situation, Thomas betrayed, he colluded with the Sun King to destroy the security system, the enemy has attacked the ancient castle, if Meng Qiuyu hadn't found out in advance that it was suspicious, the blood clan mixed with the guests would have killed many guests, how much responsibility we would have taken, have you ever thought about it?"

"Last night, we lost two-thirds of the family masters, and even the God of War and the Four Great Golden Clothes were seriously injured, if it weren't for Meng Qiuyu, not only all the guests would have been killed last night, but also the people of our family could not escape the poison, it was Meng Qiuyu who saved the family and saved us."

Taking a deep breath, Meryl said with a solemn expression, "All the guests were frightened last night, and we also saw the horror of the Sun King with our own eyes, and our hope of seeking allies has become slim. With the current situation of the family, we need Meng Qiuyu as a powerful ally. ”

"Therefore, I can understand my father's decision, sacrificing the interests of the family, and getting Meng Qiuyu's full support, which is a wise choice. There is no interest, even if Meng Qiuyu sees Catherine's face to help us, she will not go all out. ”

Steward Sloe looked at Meryl with a look of relief, and secretly sighed in his heart, if everyone in the family was as rational as Meryl, it would not be the current situation.

James sighed lightly, and also looked at Meryl and nodded, but he sighed secretly in his heart, if this daughter was a man, then there would be hope for the family. I was confused for a while, and I almost made a big mistake.

Drarant let out a sigh of relief, glanced at Meryl, and then said to James: "Father, it's me who has not seen so far, I have prepared the transfer agreement, and I can sign it with Meng Qiuyu at any time." ”

"Very good, Meryl, you are in charge of this matter, and you will go to Catherine to sign the transfer agreement with Meng Qiuyu later."

"Understand, my daughter will definitely handle this." Meryl bowed.

James nodded, looked at Slow and said, "You can accompany Meryl on a trip, and arrange the best doctors to treat the injuries of the god of war with all their might, and the guards who died last night will be buried well and give their families some compensation." ”

"Delin, you contact Gu Meng, and ask him to mobilize five hundred guards to enter the castle again, all of them are equipped with sophisticated weapons, and everything is careful during this time."

With everything arranged, James waved his hand and spoke; "Go down, Meryl stay for a moment."

After only the father and daughter were left in the room, James sighed lightly: "Meryl, you have worked hard for so many years, for your father, and now the biggest regret is your marriage." I asked your eldest brother to invite an Indian monk, who is a Brahmin monk with high mana, hoping to break your ban and make you a normal woman. ”

"Father, these are superstitions, and daughters never believe in them." Meryl said with a slight blush.

"Don't believe it, your life is very hard, otherwise how can you Kefu, you are still young, and you will be very lonely when you are lonely, and your father will handle this for you."

After taking a deep look at his daughter, James smiled bitterly and said, "Meryl, in fact, I want to tell you one thing for my father. He made a wrong decision for his father last night and calculated Meng Qiuyu, so he left with Catherine overnight. ”

"Ahh Father, how can this be? Meryl's face changed, she stared at James a few times and shook her head, "Father, you promised to give Meng Qiuyu eleven minerals to compensate for it, right?" ”

Nodding, James shook his head and said, "The family needs Meng Qiuyu as an ally now, so Father Wei hopes that you can appease him and apologize to him for Father." In addition, tell Catherine that she is the pride of the family and that I will have a beautiful wedding for her. ”

"Okay, father, I will convince Meng Qiuyu that I won't let him hold a grudge against this matter." Meryl smiled bitterly and said goodbye and walked out.

Butler Slow waited outside the study, and when he saw Meryl come out, he greeted him with a kind smile.

"Miss Meryl, I have my servants prepare some maternal and infant supplements for Catherine to bring. In addition, I think we should bring two reliable medical staff, Catherine is now in poor health, and we can rest assured that there are medical staff to take care of her. ”

Meryl nodded with satisfaction, looked at the old butler who had dedicated her life in the family and said with a smile: "Uncle Sloe, you are very thoughtful, you have always loved Catherine, and she also respects you, let you accompany me, it is estimated that Meng Qiuyu will not drive me out." ”

Slow was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that James should have told Meryl the truth, and smiled bitterly in his heart, even if Meng Qiuyu could forgive James for what he did to him, this estrangement was also destined to make the Rothschild family and Meng Qiuyu not become close partners.

But now that James has seen all this and made such a big sacrifice, things haven't gotten worse, and Slow is quite relieved in his heart, because he really doesn't want to be an enemy of Meng Qiuyu.
