Although 1848 was an extremely dangerous year for France, even in this extremely turbulent year, there were still some happy events and new hopes.

In the palace of the Counts of Dillieon, who served as the Minister of the Seals during the Old July Dynasty, there was such a new "hope" at this time.

Matilda, the second lady of the Dilieon house, was quietly watching the baby lying in her arms, wrapped in a thin brocade swaddling cloth. The baby has just drunk enough milk from the nurse, satisfied the most instinctive desire, and is now sleeping sweetly.

Matilda caress the baby in her hand, although her face is as serious as ever, but behind the thick lenses, there is an inadvertent overflow of love for the child. She stared at the baby as if she had never seen a child before.

"Matilda, you've been hugging her for a long time, haven't you? Come, can you take a break and give her to me for a hug? Next to her, her sister Julie looked at her with a smile and quipped, "You hold her all day, and others will be suspicious if they see her, and they can't figure out who is the mother among us!" ”

Because of the relationship between first-time mothers, the eldest lady, who has grown a lot, is now radiant. Her eyes were full of light, and her already beautiful face was now even more gorgeous.

During the recent turmoil, she took refuge with her mother and took refuge in the family Delierion's country estate, where she gave birth to the child soon after. And after the situation stabilized a little, she returned to Paris more than half a month ago. Today. She brought her husband and children, and the family came to her mother's home at the same time.

After hearing her sister's joke, Matilda had to reluctantly cut her love. Slowly handed the baby to her sister, and although she handed her over, she still looked at the baby with reluctance, as if there was nothing else in her eyes.

"What a lovely child this is, he will definitely grow up beautiful!" She suddenly sighed softly, "It's so cute." ”

The girl's name was Matilda, and she was her niece. In order to show her respect and gratitude to her sister, Julie deliberately chose this name for her daughter, and also made her sister her godmother.

"Thank you for your blessings. Mathilda. Julie carefully shook her daughter to make her sleep more comfortably, and then looked at her sister with a smile on her face, "I will train her well, so that she will become a good girl like you in the future......"

"What's so good about being like me? You can have a little fun with others. Matilda sighed softly.

"Of course. So smart and capable. Dad and Grandpa like you so much. Julie said seemingly casually. I wish she could please them as much as you do. ”

Matilda gently stroked her niece's face again, "Dad doesn't say it, but he actually likes her very much, and I have seen him secretly standing next to Matilda and stroking her several times!" It's just that he doesn't seem to have adapted to the fact that he has become someone else's grandfather, so he is not too embarrassed to show it in front of others. ”

"If only that were the case." Julie smiled bitterly, and a trace of melancholy suddenly flashed on her originally bright face, and she became gloomy. "I still don't know if my father forgave me...... Maybe they won't be able to forgive me for marrying a commoner for the rest of their lives. ”

After hearing her words. Matilda lowered her gaze slightly, as if she understood something.

"Sister. What's wrong with it? Is something wrong? ”

Julie stopped talking.

"Tell me the truth, I'm not going to be mad at you. You're my sister, do you still have to hide half of your words from me? Matilda still only looked at her niece, but there was unreserved sincerity in her tone, "You still don't know me?" As long as you ask me for help, I'll do my best. ”

After hearing her sister's encouragement and assurance, Julie's face finally improved a lot, and after a while, she opened her mouth again.

"I guess you know the Tao by now, right? Lucien is in trouble right now...... ”

"I've heard about it, too." Matilda nodded slightly, "He disobeyed orders when suppressing the mob and refused to take his men to fight the mob, so he is now dismissed?" ”

"Yes, and it could be worse than this - now the army is ready to purge the mob of sympathizers, and Lucien has done this stupid thing......" Julie closed her eyes slightly, obviously very unhappy with her husband's arbitrariness, "so if you don't want to be forcibly removed from the army, you have to take off your uniform." If that's the case, isn't his future all over?! ”

Despite Julie's trepidation, Matilda remained calm.

"So you brought Lucien here today to ask Grandpa to help him and save him from such punishment?"

"Yes, that's for it. I heard Lucien say that the commanders in their army had a lot of opinions, and they really planned to get rid of him. Julie honestly admitted her sister's speculation, "Now that grandpa is talking to him, he must be talking about it." ”

After a moment's pause, she looked at her sister with some uneasiness.

"Actually, this can't be called a request, isn't it a family, shouldn't we help each other? If Lucien can be promoted, it will not be good for the Diliion family......"

"You're right, the family should help each other, of course we should help Lucien, and grandpa will definitely think the same. In that case, what are you worried about? Matilda looked at her sister a little strangely, "Although grandpa no longer has a public position, he used to have so many friends, as long as everyone helps, there shouldn't be too many problems, right?" ”

"But......" Julie hesitated for a moment, and finally hesitated to speak, "I'm worried about Lucien, Matilda, and I'm afraid he'll be stupid again." You know it, just as grandpa and father didn't like him. He didn't like his grandfather and father either, and it took me a lot of effort to pull him over today. If he waits for a while in front of his grandfather, he will say something nasty in his brain and make his grandfather angry. If it doesn't go well and grandpa won't help, that's too bad! ”

"Probably not, right?" Matilda frowned, and then finally understood what her sister meant, "So you want to wait for me to help him say good things, so that grandpa doesn't really care about him in a fit of anger?" ”

Julie nodded slowly, "Matilda." I'm sorry...... Now I'm going to have to trouble you again. ”

"It's not a problem, it's just a few words, although I don't think grandpa will be rash. But if that happens, I'll be sure to say something good for him, don't worry. Matilda did not hesitate to agree to her sister's request, and then. She looked at her sister steadily.

It was her back then. Yili insisted on marrying Lucien Leflaire, a commoner with no money and power, and even made such a big incident. As a result, Miss Dillieon, who was originally so proud and carefree, is now frightened all day long, worried about her husband's fate and future, and even asks for help everywhere!

On her body, it seems that she can no longer see the shadow of the original carefree aristocratic girl, she has grown up. and even became a mother.

Will I be like this in the future?

"Sister, for this marriage. Do you regret it? Under the inexplicable feeling, Matilda suddenly asked in a low voice. If you marry a young nobleman, he may be idle all day long, but you have to deal with more than half of the troubles now. ”

"No, I certainly don't regret it. Lucien loves me, I love him, and now that we have children, why should I regret it? Julie replied without thinking, with such speed that it was obvious that it was a true expression, "And, although I always do some stupid things, but I can see the truth behind these stupid things, what can I say to make you understand?" Lucien was really a good man and a good husband, and he never even made me unhappy! I'm willing to be scared for such a fool, yes, I don't regret it. ”

Love is such a terrible curse that it can make people so blind! She still looks like a big lady now! Seeing her sister's appearance, Matilda couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Julie suddenly reached out and held her sister's hand tightly.

"Matilda, thank you for your help. You may not understand me now and think I'm too stupid, but in the future you will understand, chasing your love and finding someone you love, although there will be a lot of suffering, but there are also countless sweetness. She leaned down and kissed her daughter, "Look, isn't this the crystallization of our sweetness?" She's cute! ”

Matilda felt a pang in her heart.

Seeing the way you look, where do I dare to touch this terrible taboo again? She sighed inwardly.

"Don't worry, I'll say nice things about Monsieur de Leflair, if he really messes things up." She quickly put her previous thoughts behind her and comforted her sister, "I said, I will do my best to help you, because you are my sister." ”

"Matilda!" After hearing her words, Julie held her grip tighter, and tears flashed in her eyes, "Thank you, thank you so much." ”

"What else do you want to say to me, Xie Luxie?" Matilda just smiled softly, then muttered softly to herself.

"As long as you don't regret it, I'm happy, because that means I didn't do anything wrong." (To be continued......)

PS: I've been in a terrible mood lately, and my work and life are all a mess.

At least this year and next, there is no hope of promotion. I tried to use alcohol to kill my sorrows a few times, but it turned out to be worse after drinking...... It sucks. Originally, I was going to use writing to dispel myself, but now I am writing it, which is far from my original expectation, and it has become more and more depressing.

Yes, the reality is such that little by little it stabs people and makes people breathless.

So far, it doesn't matter if the book has poor grades, because the author's level and talent are not high, and such results are normal; However, a lot of energy and time have been consumed in order to write, which has affected the author's usual work.

Recently, to be honest, I've thought about abandoning the pit a few times, because work is more important.

But...... Still can't give up.

Because, after writing for so long, watching the plot unfold over time, and watching a character become more and more vivid and plump in his hands, how much effort did these things take, and how much effort did the author put in? How many nights have you been up all night trying to figure out a story? I really can't give up......

Today, I made the decision to finish the book.

No matter what happened, I don't regret it.
