"Since you said you want to serve me, please give me a proof."

The young man who was still in reverie just now was stunned for a moment.

"Proof? What kind of proof do you want? After a moment, he looked at Charlotte curiously. Please tell me, I'll do anything to make you happy. ”

"Look at what you say! Don't say that I don't seem to be close to people! Charlotte smiled and spread her hands, "Sir, I don't want to embarrass a young man like you......"

Obviously you are also very young, why do you say it so highly...... Jérôme Bonaparte sighed inwardly, but he did not resent the other party's self-esteem - after all, he had a request for others.

"I'm more than happy to help you, and I don't find it difficult."

"Okay, that's great......" Charlotte nodded in satisfaction, perhaps sensing his determination, "So, you're still going to stay in England anyway lately, can you collect the situation in England for us first?" After all, you and your grandma can be in and out of the social world, and ...... And you have a good relationship with the Duke of Wellington and the British government...... Obviously, you can communicate with them effectively. ”

After hearing this, Jérôme Bonaparte was slightly embarrassed, and heard the hidden sarcasm of the other party.

However, apparently Charlotte did not continue to ridicule, but quickly explained, "As you know, Charles and I have many enemies at home, not only outside the new regime, but also inside the new regime...... And they have always done everything to slander and attack us. Even if we do our best, they will spare no effort to attack and slander us at home. Let's take this incident as an example. We came to England for what? Isn't it just for the good of the country? As a result, there is still a group of people who are clamoring every day in the country. It is said that we have made a secret treaty with Britain and used the way of betraying French interests to reap our own interests...... But we can't just run to defend them, can we? Wouldn't that confirm that we really have such suspicions? So, we need something to gag the French. ”

Charlotte's explanation was so detailed that even if he was not very involved in politics, Jérôme Bonaparte now understood that the Trévilles wanted to use their special position as a microphone to convey their demands and conditions to the British, and avoid speaking in person. Leave incriminating evidence. By the way, I want to continue to serve as a liaison with the UK before returning to China, and pursue my own interests.

"Some people do like to slander people, and I hate them." Jérôme-Bonaparte was very careful to echo Charlotte. "Ma'am, I said I would be happy to help you."

"That's great!" Seeing that he agreed to his request so happily, Charlotte clapped her hands with great joy, "This is not a difficult thing to do, but it requires enthusiasm, and I believe you can do it with enthusiasm." ”

After a pause, it was as if I remembered something. She continued, "This kind of thing is very secret, and it is best not to let outsiders know about it, otherwise it will arouse a lot of infamy of traitors in China...... But. Now that you've worked hard to gather information about us, you should know that I'm pregnant right now. So after a while. I'm afraid there are a lot of things I can't do myself, so I'll let you know our friends here. When the time comes, it will be convenient for you to associate with them. ”

"Yes, ma'am. I'm here to help. After a moment's hesitation, the young man agreed.

After all, he also knew that the Trévilles were not philanthropists, and it was difficult for them to get others to do things for themselves without doing something for them.

Charlotte watched the other person's reaction, and it was only then that she agreed with her husband that this person could be pulled over and used.

Anyone in a high position, whether he wants to do things for the country or not, must gather a group of his own team and allies, and the granddaughter of the former minister Duke Treville certainly understands this truth very well.

"I'll assume first...... If all the difficulties are eliminated and you return to France, I think you will still need us at that time...... Right? Unconsciously, Charlotte's tone became more relaxed, "After all, royals are not so easy to be, you have to have helpers, you have to have someone to support you, you have to live like a royalty!" And do you understand how expensive it is to live like royalty in France? And with all due respect, although I heard that your father and grandmother have some savings in the United States, it will be difficult to cope with this kind of expenses, right? ”

The young man's heart was cold again, although Charlotte's words were not very popular, but this was indeed a cold reality.

"You're right, I don't really have any family business, but ...... If I have the privilege of returning to France, I will work hard and work hard. After a moment of silence, he replied with the same optimism and enthusiasm that seemed to belong only to young people, "Perhaps my life will not be as good as that of other princes of Bonaparte, but I think simplicity is also a virtue, and no one can deny my surname and identity because of what life I lived, and Napoleon lived very simply." ”

"Napoleon lived very simply, but his empress spent six million a year on clothes!" Charlotte calmly pointed out the weakness in his words, "You are right, maybe you can be simple, but are you willing to let your family be simple with you?" Virtue is to be admired, but one cannot live by virtue alone, right? ”

The new blow silenced the young man again.

"So, I admire your virtues, but you must not isolate yourself from the world because you have virtues, especially in a place like France, which is full of slander and extravagance, and you must live according to the rules you have." Charlotte continued to say calmly, "But don't worry, since we plan to help you, we will definitely help you all the way to the end, and we won't pull you across the river with one hand, and then push you back again!" We have some companies in France, as long as you are willing to nod, we will put you on the list of shareholders, and then as long as these companies are still profitable, then we will give you a stipend - we will arrange it when we return to China, we will help you save first, and from the day you return to France, you can receive the stipend directly. Well, I have to admit that, at least for now, the money may not be enough to make you feel like a prince, but you can at least get a taste of the beauty of French social life, and I can assure you that it is much more interesting than this dull and boring island nation......"

The young man's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He was not excited to hear this great news, but his heart was full of bitterness.

He understands that the Trévilles are not easy to bully, and their money is definitely not so easy to get. Besides, he doesn't like to ask for favors from others

If he takes this money, he will actually have to tie it to them and do things for him.

In fact...... Actually, I really just wanted to go back to China, and I didn't think about anything else......

He opened his mouth to say such a sentence, but he couldn't.

From his grandmother's admonition, he already knew that Monsieur Tréville was one of Louis Bonaparte's most kind of assistants and advisers to the present day, and that if he was willing to help, he would have half of his wishes—and if he wanted to stumble, he would almost certainly not have fulfilled his wishes.

Not to mention...... He was still the younger brother of the young lady, and if he angered the gentleman, he would never have the chance to see her again in his life.

“…… Thank you very much and Mr. Tréville for your help, and I will do everything in my power to repay you. When the words of rejection slipped into his mouth, it finally became such an answer.

Charlotte's smile is even thicker, and her beautiful face, with such a smile, looks really extravagant.

"Your grandmother will be just as happy."

…… Is even my grandma going to help? The young man's eyes widened.

"I can understand your grandmother's feelings, and it won't be long before my baby will be born...... His father must be able to prosper, he will certainly be a duke and prince, and we will pass on everything we have to the next generation—that's what the elders always think, don't they? "She must be willing to do everything to help her grandson." ”

"Yes...... You're right. The young man sat dumbfounded, his hands gripping the armrest of his chair, sweating profusely, but at last he nodded with difficulty.

This is the first lesson he has learned in his 20 years of life about his ruthlessness towards society.

Charlotte thought to herself.

Didn't we come here like that back then? It's just a little early.

Just as she was about to stop persecuting the poor young man, and was about to say a few kind words to him before taking her leave, the young man's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Charlotte sweatingly, as if he had made up his mind to do something terrible.

"Madame Tremier, you ...... You have asked so much for me today and helped me so much, so ...... I beg you, can you give me another favor without any expense? If you can say yes, I swear I'll do everything you tell me to do. ”

"Oh? And what? Charlotte was a little surprised, but quickly calmed down.

"I ...... I ......" After a moment's hesitation, the young man shouted, "I want to associate with your sister-in-law!" (To be continued......)
