Flowers, Swords and France

"British?"

As soon as she heard Ciel's reminder, Agnes suddenly became serious, "What happened to them?"

"Didn't you and Charlotte conspire to do a big thing there?" Charles said with mixed feelings, "In the end, one person's life was left behind."

"So you're talking about this?" Agnes reacted, and then her face suddenly showed joy. It was obvious that she was still feeling extremely happy and relieved about killing Edgar before. "I'm grateful for that Charlotte. What's wrong?"

"The British figured this out." Charles sighed, "Then the British came to my door and beat me up."

"What?" Agnes was greatly surprised. "How did they figure it out? How many things did they figure out?"

"There are clues in everything, and it is impossible to hide in the shadows all the time." Charles replied sullenly, and then told all the news he got from Miss Periette that night.

Agnes listened quietly to Ciel's narration, her brows tightening, until at the end she suddenly sneered.

"Okay, now aren't the British quite clear about it? They really do exist! After all, isn't this your grandfather's fault? If he didn't insist on bringing that man's remains back home, the British might not The clues were discovered so quickly.”

Because of the old grudges, although she did not intend to take revenge on the old Marquis, she was still angry with him, so she couldn't help but use this incident to ridicule the old man again.

"Don't blame an old man who lost his only son. It was the only son he had taken care of since he was a child and had high hopes for him!" Charles couldn't help but tell the difference for his grandfather. "He can rationally put aside all his resentment towards you. In the end, all he wants is to get his son's remains back, which is already very impressive. Please... be more tolerant to him. "

"Hmph." Agnes knew that she had gone too far, but she didn't want to speak softly to the old man, so she just snorted and did not continue the topic. "Okay, I've figured out the outline of the matter. Fortunately, they haven't found out Edgar's identity yet..."

It is conceivable that if the British find out Edgar's identity and find out that he was actually killed by his sister-in-law and daughter-in-law, this will be a shocking secret, enough to make Charles It was embarrassing to deal with it. Agnes certainly didn't want to cause her nephew such trouble.

"I am also a little worried about this, but I think that as long as we keep it secret carefully, the British will not be able to figure it out - after all, my father entered the UK under a false identity, and he will not reveal his identity to anyone... …”

"Does he really not know how?" Agnes didn't believe it.

"I can probably be sure of this. After all, he knows that he is bringing shame to the family..." Charles sighed, not knowing how to continue speaking, "He told me before that in his life He has done too many ridiculous things and has already disgraced the family, so he will never use the name Treville outside because he cannot embarrass grandpa and me any more. This is also his final compensation to us. ”

"It sounds like he actually has some conscience..." Agnes sneered, still looking like she had no forgiveness for Edgar, "He finally did something human-like, which also saves us." A lot of trouble.”

"——So, as long as he doesn't speak to anyone, this matter can be buried in the dust, and no one can pretend it never happened." Charles had no intention of arguing with her about Edgar's issue anymore, so he just said it directly After thinking about it, "Of course, the premise is that all those who know the truth must keep silent..."

"You don't have to worry about this. When I went out to travel, in order not to embarrass my family and to facilitate tracking, I also used a false name. Even when I went to the UK, I used a fake passport." Agnes looked confident. Manman said, "There are only three people who know about this matter. It is impossible for Charlotte and I to reveal it. The other person has done it for us before." He has been with me for a long time and has been tracking Edgar with me for many years, so there is no question about his loyalty, so... I don't think there is any risk of the secret being revealed. Besides, I haven't been in England long. , I have very little contact with people, and it is impossible for many people to remember my face. Even if the British want to find me, they probably have no clue. "

She didn't mention Charlotte. After all, although Charlotte was completely exposed, she was reclusive at home and her status was aloof. No matter how capable the British were, they couldn't get any confession out of her.

"It would be great if that's the case." Charles was quite pleased. "But even so, we can't take it lightly. Please be careful about your actions in the future and don't reveal your whereabouts..."

"I know!" Agnes became a little impatient and waved her hand casually, "I will stay at your house during this period. I don't believe that the British still have the ability to rush to your house to interrogate me? Besides, Well, I’m not the kind of person who can be manipulated by others.”

"I have great confidence in you, so I just want to remind you to let you know about this." Seeing Agnes's confidence, Charles didn't want to pour cold water on her, so he just complimented her.

In his opinion, as long as you take a little precaution, you really don't have to worry too much. "The British now need France's full cooperation. They have no motive to go against me. This is not in their interests. Their purpose now is to win over us. For this, they even dispatched Her Majesty the Queen. What's more, they are still Taking the initiative to tell me, it is obvious that they have no ill intentions towards me at least now. However, the international situation is changing rapidly, and no one can tell what is going on politically, so we must be fully prepared..."

"Okay, okay, leave your rhetoric to the adults in politics. It gives me a headache just listening to it." Agnes became even more impatient and interrupted him directly, "I basically understand this matter. Okay, don't worry, in line with what you caused I will eliminate any signs of danger and will never let my affairs become your troubles. You have already deserved me by watching your father die in my hands in silence. I appreciate this very much.”

"Actually, it's not difficult for me. I don't have any feelings for him." Charles shrugged, "Well, now that he is a page in the past, we can turn him over and face a new one. life..."

"Welcome to a new life? I hope it's still too late...but I'm afraid it's too late." Agnes turned away her eyes, and her original serious expression suddenly softened, as if she was sighing something, "Char, although for I apologize to you for this, but I will never regret it. However, I will use my hard work to compensate you, after all, I have caused you trouble. "

"You don't have to feel sorry for me. After all, our family is at fault in this matter, and you have the freedom to fight back. However, please keep this matter a secret from Charlotte." Charles quickly warned again Again, "You alone are so guilty. How worried would Charlotte be!"

"Of course I understand this, don't worry, I won't let your wife get upset over this matter." Agnes had returned to normal at this time, looking at Charles with a smile, "Finally, you little bastard You still have some conscience. Okay, come with me to see Charlotte?"

Charles did not respond immediately, but hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to ask.

"You have been missing during this period. Where have you been?"

"Go to various interesting places, buy good things, watch plays, and take a trip to the south to enjoy the warm sunshine, dry out the bad luck on your body, and see the prosperity of the world." Agnes said. There is no concealment, "Thanks to your wife's kindness, I have enjoyed my life..."

"You...do the same?" After hearing such a simple and ordinary answer, Charles couldn't believe it.

"Why can't I do this? I once liked luxurious things, fancy clothes, leisurely travel, and all the things that can make people live more comfortably. Is it any wonder?" Agni Si asked back almost as a matter of course. "I didn't run away because I like to endure hardship. Although I have traveled to so many places over the years, I am never in the mood to stop and appreciate the journey. But this time it is different. I can finally see what the world is like. How beautiful...even though it's not as beautiful as I would have liked, there's still something nice about it."

"You will have more opportunities in the future." Although Agnes said it calmly, Charles felt a little sad in his heart.

After all, it was her family that delayed her youth for more than ten years. This was a regrettable crime. "If you have anything to spend, just report it to me and I will be happy to pay it for you..."

"I'm very grateful for your generosity, but it's better to say goodbye. I'd better get the money from your wife. After all, I'm working for her and receiving your money, so what I said is not so clear." Agni Si suddenly laughed, "I can't let myself be bribed by you?!"

Is there any difference between taking her money or taking my money? Ciel didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't insist. "Okay then, everything will be as you said."

Then, Agnes said goodbye to Charles and came to Charlotte's bedroom.

Because she has been pregnant for several months now, Charlotte's mobility has become very inconvenient, so she rarely moves around, even rarely going out of the bedroom, just waiting for the arrival of her second child.

This kind of life is monotonous and boring for Charlotte, who likes lively scenes, but this is the inevitable price of being a mother, and she is happy to pay this price.

Today she had been sitting on a chair on the balcony reading a storybook. When she saw Agnes arriving, Charlotte was overjoyed, threw the book aside and walked to greet her with a limp step.

"Aunt Agnes, long time no see!" She came close to Agnes, "How was your talk with Charles?"

"He is very straightforward." Agnes held Charlotte's hand skillfully, and then supported the pregnant woman's waist. "If you think about it, he doesn't dare to make mistakes in front of me."

She followed Ciel's advice and didn't mention what the two of them had just said at all. She also had a smile on her face, as if she was a few years younger.

"Thank God, there is finally someone who can make him obey." Charlotte let out a sigh of relief, "This is really not easy."

"What?" Agnes asked doubtfully.

"To tell you the truth, we have had several quarrels over this matter recently." Charlotte frowned, obviously worried. "Although we grew up arguing, but now I can feel that the situation is different."

"So, our lovely Miss Treville seems to think that she is about to get her long-cherished wish?" Agnes asked slightly sarcastically.

"Of course she would think so. After all, Charles has always pampered her, which makes her so arrogant." When she said this, Charlotte's anger couldn't help but rise. "Now she probably feels that she has It’s invincible.”

"Then, I have to say, this should be a wrong idea." Agnes replied in a teasing tone, and then gently touched Charlotte's belly.

"Oh! What a strong life! He seems to be kicking my hand!" She raised her eyebrows, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes, "It seems like this is another wild boy."

"Maybe it's a girl? The boss is a boy, and having another boy would be too monotonous." Charlotte replied with a smile, her mother's pride filling her brows, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, this is The child of Charles and me, the purest bloodline of our Treville family, will definitely be an outstanding child..."

Then, she suddenly lowered her voice, "And she may even be a bastard, a lonely ghost who came into the house and took our last name..."

"Huh?" Agnes didn't react for a moment.

"The deceased Mr. Edgar left a handwritten letter before, clearly stating that she was not his daughter." Charlotte bit her lip and tried to calm herself down more, "After seeing this handwritten letter At the time, I didn’t quite believe it, but then I took out his old handwriting and checked the handwriting, and found that it was indeed his... Tell me, how terrible is this? The filth has not been completely stripped away from this family. , and the horrific remnants.”

Agnes narrowed her eyes.

"This is... what a terrible girl!"
