When Mr. Grandet woke up the next day, his anger had subsided a lot. After all, he has more important things to do now, which is to find his notary Mr. Crochet and the banker Mr. de Grassan immediately. Seek how to ensure the minimum loss of your own property, and how to deal with those creditors.

When Mr. Grandet hurried downstairs, Nanon had already prepared breakfast for him, and he asked while eating bread: "Where is Charles, did you check whether he committed suicide when he was sleeping last night? "

Nanon poured him a cup of coffee, and she said, "Sir, please don't be too kind to Master Charles. When I went to see him last night, he had already fallen asleep peacefully, wearing his beautiful silk pajamas. I took a closer look , There are no tears on his face. He looked even better this morning, and he went out beautifully dressed."

"What, he went out, do you know where he went?" asked M. Grandet.

"I don't know, he was as anxious as if there was some beast chasing after him, but he would never go out to commit suicide. You can rest assured about this, sir, no one will dress themselves up so beautifully and then lie on the bed To die in the wilderness," said Nanon.

"Whatever he is, this cold-hearted boy, I really don't want to see him, every way of his behavior is like a Miss Jiao, it's really disgusting. Fortunately, I am determined not to spend more money on him A penny, otherwise, spending more money for this kind of person who is so sad after his father died as if nothing happened is like throwing gold coins into the cesspit." Mr. Grandet finished his bread and put one hand on the On the edge of the table, one hand swept the bread crumbs on the table to the other hand, and after swallowing the bread crumbs, he said: "Sidney was wronged yesterday, today you have to take a good seat for him." It's a good breakfast, did you hear me?"

"Of course, and what about Madame and Miss, did you let them out?"

"No, I have to let them know what they did wrong before letting them out. Before that, you just need to prepare the same food as we used to eat and send them to the room." Mr. Grandet said.

Mr. Grandet made up his mind to teach his wife and daughter a lesson, so that they could understand his painstaking efforts. He was already in his 60s and would not live long, while his wife was only in her 40s. She can live for a long time, but if she can't teach Eugenie correctly, then no matter how long she lives, it will be in vain.

As for Eugenie, there was not much to discuss about the distribution of property. She would definitely receive her mother's inheritance. Whether it was all or most of it depended on her subsequent performance.But no matter what, Mr. Grandet must let Eugenie know how to win over her younger brother. Even if Mr. Grandet loves Eugenie again, he has to honestly comment that his daughter is not as smart as her. One millionth of his, she is a bit stupid, and she is stubborn and refuses to accept a little advice from others.Before Sidney came, Mr. Grandet had been worrying about her future. Now she has a blood-related protector. If she doesn't know how to use it, God can't even bless her.

But obviously Eugenie did not feel her father's good intentions at all, and those reprimands that made her think did not reach Eugenie's ears at all. She was only thinking about her poor cousin, so she even Some resented her father's indifference.

This morning Eugenie got up before five o'clock, she has been lying at the door listening to the sound downstairs, when she heard Mr. Grandet leave and confirmed at the window that he had passed the street, she immediately went to He rushed out of his room like a deer ready to go.

"Oh, God! Miss, what are you doing!" Nanon got up from the ground, looked at the knocked overturned food and sighed, "Miss, what are you doing?"

Eugenie was too anxious to check on Charles' situation, she ran out of the room in a rampage, not even thinking that Nanon was in the corridor, and ran into Nanon's body before she even had time to dodge.Eugenie's ribs were hit by the sharp corner of Nanon's tray. She wanted to scream in pain, but she covered her mouth to suppress the scream, lest Charles might hear her. With a buttery skirt, she endured the pain and asked, "Nanon, is my cousin up yet?"

"I think Miss, you'd better take care of your own situation first. You overturned the breakfast for you and your wife. I think you and your wife can only eat some bread and fruit this morning. There is no coffee, and both cups are consumed." You were overturned." Nanon squatted on the floor and picked up the overturned food.

"Yes, yes, I have to pay attention to my appearance. I came out without washing up. Oh, I have to change into my pajamas before going to see my cousin. What should he think if he sees me like this?" Ou Ye Ni obviously only heard the first half of Nanon's sentence, as for breakfast, who cares.

"Miss!" Nanon's words could not help but carry a stern tone. Mr. Grandet asked her to look at Eugenie carefully before going out, and she also felt that this was the right behavior, so she took a little lesson The tone said: "The master has not lifted your confinement, so you can't come out, you must go into the house immediately, and I will bring you breakfast.

"No!" Eugenie looked at Nanon pleadingly, grabbed her arm and said, "Nanon, don't you know what happened to my cousin? He is so pitiful. He didn't even eat dinner yesterday. But I couldn't comfort my father because of his unreasonable confinement, so I have to comfort him."

"I don't think you need to do this, because Master Charles has gone out before the master, and when I just got up, he didn't look like he will come back soon, so you'd better go into the house at once, madam, and if you come out again I will I have to lock you in the house, and the master gave me the iron lock when he left." Nanon said.

This answer made Eugenie very surprised and very angry. In the end, she had no choice but to enter the room obediently. Nanon quickly served her breakfast. I gave her a few pieces of bread, a little butter, and a glass of milk, which was enough for her to eat, and anyway, there was a large plate of fruit in her room.

When Yang Yi woke up, he felt that his head was swollen and his throat was dry. He didn't sleep well last night. In fact, he didn't sleep for a long time at all, because he had to accompany His Highness the Duke in the woods after being captured by Duke Louis yesterday. He ran all night to help him hunt, otherwise he threatened to send dozens of people to guard the edge of the forest, and put a hundred or eighty hunting dogs in the forest to patrol.

Duke Louis seems to love hunting for 10 minutes. His skill is really good. The intertwined branches in the deep forest, the intertwined vines, and the bushes and weeds that are half a person tall can't hinder him. With a vigorous figure, he is like a dark creature at night that is completely integrated with the forest, and the entire forest has become his world.Yang Yi followed him all night, watching him hunt again and again, his arrow skills are very good, almost no prey can escape from under his bow and arrow, and every time a prey falls, he will Showing a satisfied smile, that kind of smile is perfect but enough for ordinary people to tremble with fear after seeing it.

This is a terrifying man, a rational lunatic. Yang Yi spent the whole night coming to this unpopular conclusion, and then left that one-sided killing field when the first ray of light appeared on the horizon. The moment before Lennon got up, he returned to his room.

"My dear young master, you don't look very well." Nanon said when Yang Yi went downstairs to eat breakfast in the main room.

"I just didn't sleep well. Oh, it's already eight o'clock, I have to go to the vineyard as soon as possible." Yang Yi peeled a hard-boiled egg and bit half of it.

"Eat slowly, master, you will choke. It's your own vineyard. You can go there whenever you want. You don't have to be in such a hurry." Nanon said.

"Yes, my dear cousin, you don't have to be in such a hurry to do those drudgery." Charles suddenly ran in from the outside, his expression looked a little panicked and a little excited, he sat down on Yang Yi On the other side, he said eagerly: "Dear cousin, I heard outside that the Duke of Anjou bought the house that originally belonged to the Marquis of Froyfont, and that he will hold a dance next Monday? Will you be invited?"

"Yes, I have received a verbal invitation, but I think it is probably not suitable for you to go to a dance so soon, and according to Dad's plan, you are supposed to leave for India next week, and there are a lot of people before that." things to do."

"Yes, yes, I know I should be heartbroken right now, but things have happened, and we have to worry about the future. Dear cousin, don't you think I am suitable for a soldier? , look at my hands, they are not suitable for holding guns and knives, I'm not a soldier, and I don't want to leave England, we have to find a way." Charles leaned forward and stared at Yang Yi Said, he was so eager to express his thoughts, so eager to let Yang Yi understand his feelings, so he moved his whole body in front of Yang Yi, his face was almost pressed against Yang Yi's.

Yang Yi calmly moved his plate to the side to prevent Charles from splashing his saliva into his food when he was talking. He looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "So?"

"Uncle will definitely not allow me to attend the ball, so I hope you can help me, my cousin, and help you, poor cousin, please beg him." Charles said.

"Will you have a good future if you attend the ball? Do you know the Duke of Anjou?"

"Know... No, I mean, I know people around the Duke of Anjou. He must not know how bad my situation is now. The newspaper did not publish details about our family. I will ask him for help. I will speak kindly to the duke."

Yang Yi really wanted to ask him, after a few words of kindness, would Duke Louis kindly help him replace the debt of 400 million francs? Don't even think about it.But Yang Yi finally swallowed this sentence, because he took a closer look at Charles' face, it was a beautiful and delicate face, a real pretty face, it must be very attractive to women , if you meet a man who likes the same sex, you will definitely be quite pleasing.Or that's what Ciel didn't say then.

"I think you'd better ask my sister, she has more power to speak than I do." Yang Yi said, he didn't want to meddle in Charles' affairs at all, he had the same idea as the old Mr. Grandet. A person who clings to wealth and has severed his relationship with his own brother for more than 30 years, how unconscionable is it that he would have the cheek to let his brother know that the large debt he owed would drag his brother down? The elder brother helped clean up the mess and take care of his son, why didn't he seek help from his wife's natal family, after all, they were the real family in the past thirty years.

"But my cousin made my uncle angry yesterday, and she was grounded, so how can she speak for me!"

Emotional Charles knew that Eugenie was grounded for speaking for him, but he was not moved by it at all, and only thought that she would be of no use after being locked up.

"She will be released soon, I promise you just need to stand at the door of her room and say an apology to her and my father, and keep her and she will be released at night." Yang Yi said, he finished eating I took the last bite of food on my plate, then wiped my mouth and stood up, "Okay, cousin, I have to go out to work, you can discuss anything with my sister and wife, I have to hurry off to work."

Yang Yi ran away quickly, Charles stood in the main room for a while and called Nanon, he asked: "How is my cousin today, is she very sad?"

"Yes, yes, she is very sad." Nanon said perfunctorily.

"Really, I have to comfort her." Charles said.

He ran upstairs, searched in his room, and finally found a beautiful lady's feather fan in the corner of the suitcase. It was a token of love given to him by a lady, but the The madam is really not very good, so he discarded this exquisite fan from overseas. Now he took it out and planned to give it to Eugenie, so as to please her and let her help persuade her M. Grandet agreed to take him to the ball next Monday.

But before he had time to change his clothes, Eugenie slipped into his room, "Cousin, you are back, are you in a good mood?"

"No, not at all." Charles was taking off his shirt just now, and his collar had three buttons open, but he left them so open at the moment, so as to show his chest.He put on a sad look and said, "Cousin, I don't want to go to India, I don't want to leave my hometown."

"I know, I know, if it weren't for quick success and ruthless people, who would go to that wild land across the vast sea for the so-called future. Of course you don't want to go, but there is nothing we can do now." Eugenie cried Woke up, she was ten thousand times more sad than Shire for what happened to Shire.

Charles walked up to Eugenie excitedly, looked at her face affectionately, and said, "Cousin, I thought of a way not to go to India, but I need a help, and I need your help."

"My help?" asked Eugenie, looking at him.

"Yes, cousin, this help is impossible for anyone but you, I beg you, please help me this time, no matter what you want me to pay." Charles said.

"I don't need you to pay anything, I am willing to help you, tell me, I will do everything as long as I can." Eugenie said firmly, love has filled her with power, and this power can Let her do anything.

"There will be a ball at the Duke of Anjou's house next Monday. My father has just passed away. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be there, but it will be of great help to my future, so I have to go. So don Sister, please help me persuade my uncle to let him take me to the ball." Charles begged, holding Eugenie's hands on his chest.

"It's really not very good." Eugenie hesitated, but seeing Charles's eyes grow desperate, she said at once: "But if it will save you from going to far away India, and keep you from losing your father. Time will not lose your home, so that you can have a bright future, then I will definitely tell your father for you, even if I kneel down and beg him, I will let him take you to the ball."

"Oh, cousin, you are so kind, I don't even know how to express my feelings. Cousin, I love you so much, you are my savior, my angel."

Eugenie's face was flushed red by Charles' explicit love words, but her heart and eyes were filled with great joy. When Charles stretched out his arms to hug her, she threw herself into him excitedly. In the embrace of each other, the two kissed fiercely, and they didn't stop until the air in each other's chests dried up.

Eugenie looked at Charles shyly and wiped her lips. Charles smiled charmingly at her, and then gave Eugenie the fan he put on the table, "This is my Mother’s favorite fan, it comes from an ancient oriental country, please accept it now, please help me keep it.”

"Very well, I will certainly protect it with my life," said Eugenie.
