In the midst of the crisp autumn breeze and green grass of England, Edgar de Treville spoke of his wife and sister in a complaining tone that seemed to be troublesome.

"Well, what's the point of her doing that? It's been so many years, we should all throw away the shadow of the past and live our own happy lives, right? But she didn't give up, and as a result, not only did we all get uneasy, but even she didn't get any benefit from it. ”

Charlotte's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"'Trouble'? That's all? Is that how you see it all? She stared at her cousin, "You really can't understand why she doesn't give up on you?" You really don't feel like you've made a big mistake? ”

The cousin's act of indirectly killing his wife and abandoning his children and running away from home was, in her mind, the culprit who "caused the Charr family to be so indifferent that they could not be a noble orthodox", and now he spoke of it in such an understated tone in front of him...... This was hard for her to accept.

Putting that thought aside, even if it was just from the standpoint of being a woman, she couldn't forgive Edgar for seeing it that way.

Although she didn't expect Edgar to weep and repent day by day, even a little remorse could make her accept it a little bit - although it might not mean much to the deceased.

However...... Nothing.

In this man's heart, there is nothing but himself.

is such a person, who was still pretending to be in front of me just now, saying how he loved me. Love my child?

As soon as she thought of this, she suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of nausea. This feeling of nausea may not just come from the status of a pregnant woman.

"Same as you. I feel sorry for Agnes. She looked at her cousin coldly, "It's a pity that she didn't finish her own things at once, so that she was delayed for so long and wasted many years of her youth!" ”

Because he didn't expect Charlotte to reply to himself like this, a wave of embarrassment flashed across Edgar's face.

Charlotte...... You can't talk to an outsider, can you? How can we Treville treat each other like this? ”

Charlotte just looked at him coldly, without words.

But her expression was already like a rhetorical question, "Do you still deserve to say that"?

The cold scene between the two made Edgar speechless for a while.

Once he had settled down, he waved his hand again and made a gesture. The atmosphere was softened.

"Alright, well, kid, I know I've done something wrong and caused you a lot of trouble...... But I am self-aware, and I know that since it does not bring you joy, I should remain silent and not drag you down, because of this consideration. That's why I've been disappearing all along, and I've never asked you anything but blessings! And if it weren't for Agnes and the misfortunes she caused, I could have gone on to disappear without any trouble to your happy life. So. Can you really go so far as to watch me be caught by Agnes and die tragically because of a tragedy that I had no intention of triggering? ”

Now Charlotte finally got it.

This cousin of his own, found him. Reminiscences, blessings, and so on were only secondary goals—God knows how much affection he had in his heart for himself and his children—and the main purpose was only because he had been pressed tightly by Agnes. I had to ask myself for help.

And she didn't want to save this "father" at all.

"Is that all you want to tell me?" However. Under his interrogation, Charlotte just glanced at the middle-aged man coldly, not hiding her disgust and boredom at all. "Then I'm sorry, I don't want to hear it. There is only one thing I want to tell you, and that is that I, like my husband, think that we have done our duty to you and do not intend to do anything to you...... In other words, we don't want to interfere in the matter between you and Agnes, it's your private matter, and I'll follow my husband's advice and let you elders settle it yourself. ”

Being able to make Charlotte, who has always had such a strong family concept, say such a thing, it can be seen that she already hates this cousin to the extreme in her heart.

"Fix it yourself...... What a word! As soon as he heard Charlotte reply, a trace of horror flashed on the middle-aged man's face, and he was obviously still apprehensive about Agnes, "Haven't you heard of it?" Agnes is fierce! If you leave me alone to face her, isn't that just for me to die? Alice...... Hey, if I had known that her sister was so terrible, I wouldn't have married her! ”

"That's your own problem, sir, if you don't even have the courage to face a woman, then how can others do more life?" Charlotte was not moved at all, just looked at Edgar calmly, "Of course, personally, I can only say that your life is not enough to regret. ”

After finishing speaking, she bowed slightly, saluted Uncle Tang, and then turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hey! Charlotte! Wait, hear me out again! ”

She was heard behind by the slightly suppressed shouts of the middle-aged man, but Charlotte was unaware of it, and just turned and walked forward.

In this place, she is not afraid that her cousin will dare to make a name for herself.

"Do you really want to make your husband suffer? Don't push me, I can do it! ”

However, before she could take a few steps, she was grabbed by this sentence, and the whole person froze there.

She slowly turned around and looked at her cousin again. The little good relationship that the two of them had just maintained was now completely gone, and only the indifference of mutual wariness remained.

"What do you want to do?"

As time passed by second, the original pleading and grief on the middle-aged man's face slowly disappeared.

In the end, only a sneer with arrogance and mockery remained.

"Good niece, there are some things that my uncle didn't want to talk about, because it hurts everyone's feelings when they say it...... But since you have been so ruthless to me, I have no choice but to tell you what this place is, and both of us know very well that if I am cornered, can't I find a few people to talk to about me? In that case, even if I die...... But my words will also be kept. Do you really want all of Europe to suddenly make big news and let everyone know that the father of the famous Monsieur Charles de Treville is a wicked and unrepentant debauched scoundrel? He himself was a victim of a family tragedy? Child...... Don't do that, there are some things we can't ......."

As he spoke, Edgar suddenly stopped, because he suddenly found that his daughter-in-law's gaze was as cold as the wind.

After a moment of silence, the frozen atmosphere was broken by Charlotte.

"You're threatening me...... And your own son? If I don't save you," Charlotte asked, word for word. "You yourself are incompetent and cowardly, and you still want us to bear the consequences for you?"

"If you have to say that, then I admit it," he said, without any shame or embarrassment on his face, "it's a bit unseemly, but we can only be decent while we are alive, aren't we?" ”

This bastard...... This bastard! It's so brazen! How dare you threaten us...... How dare you go against us!

Charlotte didn't have a seizure on the surface, but because of the anger in her heart, she had set off a tidal wave of anger, and under the effect of this anger, a trace of flushing appeared on her face.

If she had a gun in her hand now, she really doubted that she would kill the old bastard with one shot.

No, no, I want to calm down...... Calm down...... She kept admonishing herself in her heart.

It's not okay to kill someone now, although she doesn't mind killing someone for her husband, but if she kills someone in Windsor Castle, even if it is an "unidentified artist", once it is exposed, it will become a huge scandal that will cause a sensation throughout Europe.

So, no matter what, she had to stabilize Edgar and swallow this threatened bitterness first.

"Well, it looks like you've got the point, niece." Seeing that Charlotte didn't say more, Edgar was obviously relieved, and the smile full of charm appeared on his face again, "Don't worry, uncle, please ask you only once, I have already received a sum of money from the Duchess of Marlborough, as long as I can escape Agnes's tracking this time, I can go abroad again!" ”

Charlotte still didn't answer, but Edgar didn't mind and continued.

"Actually, what you have to do is not difficult, I can see by now that Her Majesty thinks very highly of you, although I don't know if this is really like you or just to please France, but it doesn't matter at all. So...... If you tell Her Majesty that there is a group of French exiles who are disgruntled with the Charles and the new government and are intent on doing you bad, the Queen will take it very seriously, and let the British arrest them when the time comes—or at least slow them down." And what kind of big deal is this for you? It's just a kind of help that doesn't cost much. You don't even have to tell Charles, lest he worry too much, do you? ”

Charlotte still didn't answer, just nodded silently, and left.

"I will always be grateful to you, ma'am." Edgar bowed courteously to her back and watched his cousin and niece leave.

……………………

"Get here at once, I have a big task for you, and you must do your best to get here without delay. I don't need to report it to Mr. for the time being. ”

When she returned to her room, Charlotte didn't hesitate and wrote a note to Kong Ze.

If Charles still maintained a superficial courtesy towards Kong Ze, Charlotte, who had always been haughty, treated him like a domestic servant, even at this moment. (To be continued......)
