"You...... Where did you think of it? When he heard his grandfather's words, Charles immediately turned red with embarrassment. She is my most beloved sister, and I have taken care of her since I was a child, so I am a little affectionate with her, is there anything wrong with that? ”

"No problem, if that's really just that." The old marquis still looked at him calmly, "But I was upstairs just now, and I always felt that you two were too intimate, I know that you have always been sensible, but after all, this kind of thing is too important, so I thought I had better remind you." ”

"Well, maybe it's a little bit, I'll pay attention to it later." Charles didn't dare to argue with him about it anymore, "Okay, do you have anything else to explain?" If not, I'll go to your secretary, and I still have some things to explain to her. ”

"It's okay, you just go find her, talk to her more, have fun." The old man's face immediately turned for the better, and he waved his hand easily, "Why don't you go back tonight?" Charlotte wouldn't say anything if she stayed here anyway. ”

Charles' face turned strange.

"You seem to want me to cheat on my wife? She's your niece, huh? ”

"Betrayal? No, of course not, I just want you to relax. The old man immediately shook his head, "I know you love Charlotte, but I think she's been pregnant for so long, you should always find a pastime, right?" Instead of looking for someone outside, it's better to find someone you can rely on. ”

Charles didn't answer for a moment, because he didn't know how to answer.

As a result, the old man looked at him strangely.

"You're not really going to keep Charlotte's chastity, are you?"

Charles was still speechless.

"Sometimes I really can't believe that your surname is Trevier, Charles, you are good at everything, it's just that this aspect is too restrained." The old marquis looked 'don't be stupid. Child's expression. "Do you know how valuable assets youth and health are? Instead of taking advantage of these times to experience the beauty of life, you let it go to waste? That way, when you get old, you'll only be left with a bunch of regrets. ”

"But......," Charles wanted to say.

"I know what happened last time left you with a psychological shadow. You're afraid that if something like that happens again, you'll get yourself in trouble. The old man sighed. But, child, what are you afraid of? If you do it smartly, you can still move freely. That's right, you've got the qualifications to do whatever you want thanks to your efforts, so why not reward yourself for doing what you want? Otherwise, what's the point of you trying so hard? ”

The old man patted his shoulder, "Okay." Listen to me, Mary is a good boy, and I think she will be happy to keep you company. ”

Charles felt like he couldn't listen anymore.

"I'll get busy first, you can continue to rest." He stumbled to his feet and left the living room.

"Poor child......" The old man couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the back of his beloved grandson leaving.

…………………………

At this time, Mary had just finished her mission and had just returned to her room to rest.

She had just instructed the people to take the paintings away and unload them for preservation, so she felt a little hot all over her body now. So as soon as he returned to the room, he opened the window, and then took off his skirt, leaving only a close-fitting white gauze petticoat, while sitting on the windowsill with a fan to fan himself.

"Who?"

When there is a knock on the door. She asked casually.

"It's me." Charles replied in a low voice, "I have something to explain to you." ”

When she heard that it was her employer looking for her, Mary was shocked at first. He quickly ran back to the bedside, intending to put his skirt back on. But she was stunned for a moment, and then put her skirt back on the bed. A strange smile appeared on his face.

"Wait a minute, I'll be right here!" With this smile, she walked to the door step by step, and then suddenly opened the door. "Sir, what is the matter with me?"

"I want to ......" Charles had just subconsciously replied, but after seeing the other party's dress clearly, he suddenly stopped.

"Uh......" He looked at Mary, who seemed to be smiling, and then his gaze moved down slightly, falling on the large area of snow-white skin on his chest, and he didn't move away for a while.

"You...... Change your clothes first? After a few moments, he finally reacted, and then turned to leave first.

"No, don't bother, just come and tell me what to do," Mary was prepared, smiling and grabbing his hand.

She tried to drag Charles in, but didn't do so, "What, do you want us to just stand in the doorway for everyone to see?" ”

"Okay." Charles nodded and followed.

"What do you want to tell me? Mr? After closing the door, Mary smiled and walked over to Charles, who was sitting by the wall, and sat down next to him.

"Well, it's actually just some arrangements, have you been free lately? I want you to accompany Fran on a trip to the South. Charles whispered, "She has something to help me deal with, but I'm afraid she can't do it without experience." ”

"What's the matter?" Mary asked again.

"That's right......" Charles explained to her as he was.

As he explained, his gaze involuntarily kept wandering, falling to the place below his neck, so his speech speed was much slower than usual.

"Do you want me to stay with Fran and help her get things done, lest she suffer......" After listening to Charles's words, Mary whispered, "By the way, watch her by her side, lest she have some plot with Lola on a whim?" ”

"Sometimes you can speak less directly." Charles blinked, "But that's exactly what I meant. So, can you go about it? ”

"Of course, I've said it many times, I'm happy to do things for you, just tell me to do it." Mary replied without hesitation, "Don't worry, I'll arrange everything we need before I leave." ”

"I knew it! You're so reliable! Charles nodded happily, "I think you're the most suitable person for this, you're familiar with railroad affairs." and stay by her side for a long time, you can help her well. Of course. Rest assured, I will give you the reward you deserve. ”

"What reward?" Mary asked, somewhat curious.

Charles hesitated.

There's no need to hide it now. For this loyal pawn who has been tested many times, he can be honest with each other to a certain extent.

"Sooner or later, I will become a minister, and as soon as I become a minister, I will set up a railway federation, gather all the existing railway companies, and then eliminate a few unsuitable ones, so as to implement a license system, and only the government will be allowed to intervene in the railway industry in the future, otherwise not a single sleeper will be built." Charles explained to her in a low voice. "Yes, it's going to be a monopoly, it's going to exclude new entrants and integrate the entire national rail network, and you can get a job in it and be my eyes and ears by the way. I guess this should be enough for your reward, right? ”

It's really good, it's so beautiful, doesn't that mean, I'm about to be one of those people who is influencing the country's economy behind the scenes? A fire raged in Mary's heart.

However. It was precisely because she was so happy in her heart that she was silent on the surface.

"You...... You're always trying to wease me with things from the future, sir. Would you be embarrassed if I asked you for a reward right now? ”

"What? Aren't you satisfied? Charles reacted strangely to Mary. It stands to reason that such a forward reward is enough to drive anyone crazy......

"Yes, I'm very satisfied with your arrangement, but ...... You always give me a promissory note. Can't you cash in a little cash to me now? Mary replied with a smile.

"Cash? Do you want money? Oh well, how much do you want? I'll give it if it's reasonable...... So be it. This time Fran went to the south, and you can take a commission from this deal...... Belch. You ......" Charles interrupted before he could finish speaking.

Because right in front of him, Mary stood up gently, and then lifted the tulle that was already low at the neckline, "I want your cash now......"

"You......" Charles understood what she meant.

Even though he knew something was wrong, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Yes, since Charlotte was confirmed to be pregnant, he has been idle for too long, and after a little teasing, the fire in his heart can no longer be extinguished.

When Mary approached him, he took her into his arms.

"You...... Why would you want to do that? His voice trembled a little.

"It's like paying taxes." Mary's face was pressed against Charles's neck, and her voice shifted slightly, "You did what you were supposed to do, and then I had to do my part, didn't I?" ”

"Huh? Taxes? Charles was a little confused.

"Yes, I have been sheltered by your grandfather and you, and I have relied on the help of your family to improve my status, isn't it reasonable to pay some price?" Behind his neck, which he couldn't see, Mary smiled slightly, "Vassals have to pay tribute to the feudal lords, haven't we all been like this since ancient times?" You can accept the tribute with peace of mind. ”

"Hahahaha!" When he heard Mary's words, Charles couldn't help but laugh out loud, but with a smile and a smile, he inexplicably felt that Mary had a point.

Also, my grandfather and I sheltered her, and I let her share my power and prestige, so wouldn't it make sense for her to give me something in return?

Wait, it still seems a little wrong...... What's wrong? Charles fell into deep thought.

Mary's body was clinging to him, and because she was so thinly dressed, Charles felt the heat so much that she became hot herself.

His hand seemed to move involuntarily and placed it on Mary's body, sliding slightly.

Mary's face slowly turned red, and her eyes looked like you could drip water.

Oh my God, I promised Charlotte not long ago, she was pregnant with my baby, and now I'm doing this kind of thing? Isn't that like scum?

At this moment, Grandpa said, "You have been qualified to do whatever you want by virtue of your efforts, so why don't you reward yourself for doing what you want?" Otherwise, what's the point of you trying so hard? The admonition resounded in his heart.

Charles slowly stopped, feeling his mind a little distracted, 18th- and 20th-century ideas tangled in his mind.

"What are you worried about? Worried about your wife? Mary was also keenly aware of Charles's hesitation, so she looked up at him, "What does it matter?" I'm not going to trouble her, and I'm not going to tell you anything, I'm just doing my duty—you're just taking a break, huh?" Since it's rare to be free, then ...... Only...... Rest, right? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she buried her head back in Charles's neck, and then stuck out her tongue, gently

Indeed, it seems that she is right, right? Is it necessary for me to be so afraid of Charlotte? With my status, what's the point of having some fun in private? I'm still going to do my duty, right? Even grandpa, don't you support me? Naturally, the Tréville family didn't have to worry so much.

In the midst of this series of thrills, Charles slowly finds excuses for himself.

"You're like a cat." Feeling the lubrication and tingling sensation coming from her neck, Charles smiled wryly as she gently stroked her hair.

Mary tilted her head back suddenly, looked at Charles, and grimaced with her hands on her face.

"Meow~~~!"

I can't take it anymore!

Charles picked her up and threw her onto the bed. (To be continued.) )
