Flowers, Swords and France

"Stop arguing, what are you talking about? Don't you think you've embarrassed yourself enough in front of the servants?!"

After hearing their father's scolding, the two brothers and sisters could only glare at each other and then stopped talking. ￡∝，

After stopping the scene, the middle-aged man turned to look at Ciel, and then forced a smile on his face. "Char, have you seen the joke? I think I don't need to explain to you what happened anymore, right?"

Although he tried hard to pretend to be casual, Charles could see that his eyes were filled with thin bloodshot eyes, and there was also anxiety that was difficult to hide in his expression.

He understood the father-in-law's psychology very well.

The blow was indeed too great.

Money is one aspect, but on the other hand, this incident is also a major psychological blow to him - his father has made it clear that he does not trust him and does not want him to inherit everything safely. This is probably difficult for any son. Accept the reality.

"Well, Charlotte has already told me," Charles nodded, trying not to show his emotions, "I have to say, this is really surprising news to me. I want to know... you What do you think of it?"

"How else can we treat it? He is the head of the family, he is my father, and he can do whatever he wants." The young Duke Treville sighed, and then smiled bitterly, "Since dad has arranged it like this Well, what else can I say? If dad insists, I can only carry out his will. After all, he is the one who decides this family..."

Although he seemed calm, everyone could hear the unwillingness and resentment.

"To be fair, the old man's arrangement is indeed very surprising..." Charles nodded. Then he smiled bitterly, "But. I think, since he has already made such an arrangement, there is no need for us to forcibly violate the ideas of a... a dying old man."

"Char, do you really want to do this?" Philip suddenly interjected, "As expected...as expected, let me tell you, how could you be willing to give up? Haha...haha..."

He almost scolded her directly, "Thanks to you for always showing off your awesomeness, you ended up not being as greedy when things happened." However, Ciel was not selfish and did not refute.

"As I said just now, grandpa's will must be respected. After all, it is because of him that our family was able to revive and achieve today's status." Charlotte said calmly, her tone full of determination and certainty. "No matter what you think, I will definitely carry out his will this time!"

"That's right, who would push huge wealth out of the door?" Philip laughed, and then glared at Charlotte, "But, I'm sorry, miss, I don't intend to give up just now. And I won't beg for mercy from you. Woolen cloth!"

"Okay, then why don't you just let your horse come over? I'll be waiting for you at any time, sir." Charlotte replied with a sneer. "I want to see when you can be as tough as Treville."

"If you want to see it..." His sister's answer made Philip furious. "I'll let you see it sooner or later!"

"Daughter, are you really determined like this?" Little Duke Treville looked at Charlotte, and then he shook his head helplessly. "They say that daughters are angels when they are young, but they are devils when they get married. I finally understand..."

"You don't have to say it so harshly, right? Why bother, they are father and daughter." Charles persuaded from the side with a smile. "Okay, actually I can understand your thoughts. After all, this matter won't be pleasant for anyone..."

"Forget it, what's the point of talking about this now? Don't say more, so as not to hurt your feelings further." Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, the middle-aged man waved his hand feebly. "Then let's ask the notary to make arrangements, so that everyone can be prepared as soon as possible."

Just when he was about to call the servant over to call for someone, Charles suddenly waved his hand and stopped his action.

"Don't be busy calling people. Let's discuss it later." He walked up to his uncle and looked at him sincerely. "I know you are very angry. You are not happy that your father does not trust you, and you are not happy with us. Junior is not humble. Even if you agree now, won't this unhappiness still remain in your heart? According to me, instead of continuing to quarrel over this kind of thing in the future, it is better for everyone to sit calmly now. Come down and find a better solution.”

A better solution?

After hearing this, both Philip and his son were slightly moved.

Could it be that in order to avoid disputes, Charles decided to let himself and Charlotte give up this right? They were secretly looking forward to it.

However, Ciel's first words made their hearts instantly sink to the bottom.

"First of all, I have to say that this family property belongs to the Duke himself. He has the right to arrange it as he likes. We should respect all his wishes."

Just when they were about to say something, Ciel continued, "However, if this arrangement is limited to you, it would really not be fair to you... So, after thinking about it carefully, I think we should be able to adopt some A better way.”

"What solution?" Philip asked suspiciously.

Ciel looked at Charlotte, and then found that Charlotte was staring at him, waiting for him to speak his mind, her eyes full of expectation, trust, and joy.

There was an inexplicable warmth in his heart.

"What I mean is, we should just use the wealth designated by the Duke as a fund, and then slowly transfer my grandfather's and my wealth into this fund, so that the entire Treville family can benefit from it."

"Hmm?" His words shocked almost everyone.

"Yes, I mean to just make it the property of the entire family." Charles nodded, and then told his plan, "In the future, in addition to my sister's share, Charlotte and I will also put the wealth we earn in it. Although it is not much money now, I am confident that I can give more than the Duke in the future. And the members of the family, whether it is you, Philip, or future generations, everyone can receive fixed income from this fund. I think... this is the fairest for everyone, right? Of course. I think that the management rights must be placed in Charlotte's hands-first, she has time, and second, she is willing to make everyone live better..."

Then, he waved his hand exaggeratedly, as if he was giving a speech.

"In this way, the Treville family has become a close and solid collective again after such a treatment..." Then. He smiled at Charlotte flatteringly, "And under Charlotte's guardianship, it will continue to prosper and embrace its best future!"

"What?" Philip and his son were relatively pale.

"According to your idea..." After a moment, Philip finally spoke, "In this way... I... I still have to be under Charlotte's control, right?"

"Yes, I only accept Charlotte as the supervisor," Charles nodded as a matter of course. "What do you think of this idea? It's agreed in advance that this is our last plan. If you don't agree, then we have no choice but to follow the old man's wishes."

After hearing Charles' obvious threat, Philip and his son still looked at each other. Obviously, they still couldn't make up their minds.

"Well, why do you have to think so much at this time?" Charlotte saw that her father and brother were still hesitating, so she urged them. "Don't you think this result is bad? Charles has made so many concessions to calm you down. Think about it, isn't it more beneficial to you than the previous result? Why are you still hesitating, Dad?"

"If you think you must overturn the old man's wishes... Well, I have no other way." In order to cooperate with Charlotte, Charles continued to sing the same tune before they reacted, "Then, we can only use force!"

Although he had no interest in this matter, now that everyone has come to this point, he has no reason not to help Charlotte.

Then, he turned around, smiled and winked at Charlotte, made a "plan completed" gesture, and then deliberately raised his voice to make himself look a little angry.

"Okay, Charlotte, there's nothing to talk about. Why don't we just call everyone in the family over? The Treville family, how about we all come and talk about this?"

"I told you it would be like this, but you just came here to make me angry!" Charlotte also secretly gestured back at him, but her tone became harsh, "In my opinion, your grandfather should have been called over a long time ago, and let the two old men make their own decision!"

Hearing his daughter say this, the little Duke of Treville's face suddenly lost color.

He didn't expect his daughter to be so cruel. In addition to moving the younger one as a rescuer, she would actually think of moving the older one as a rescuer.

The Marquis of Treville is his uncle. If the two brothers make a decision together, how can he have room to say anything? At that time, I'm afraid there won't be even a small discount.

If you think about it carefully, the conditions proposed by his daughter are actually beneficial to him.

After adding the property of the Marquis de Treville, although the principal cannot be used, the annual interest will definitely be much higher in addition to the income from his father's property, at least he can spend more.

Although... he still needs to get money from his daughter.

When he thought of this, the middle-aged man couldn't help feeling bitter and slightly resentful towards his father.

"Okay, don't waste time, tell me the result as soon as possible, do you agree or not?" Charles urged impatiently, "I don't have so much time to waste now, I have to visit the Duke later."

Forget it, there is no way now, the middle-aged man finally made up his mind.

However, before he could say it, a voice suddenly sounded from the corner of the room.

"I agree with my sister."

Everyone looked over in the direction of the voice, but found that the person who spoke was Charlotte's younger brother Eugene.

This handsome young man with golden hair had no joy or anger on his face. "I think the plan my sister just mentioned is very good. Let's do it this way, Dad. Everyone, stop arguing. What's there to argue about?"

Unlike his brother, he has always liked this sister who cares about him. Seeing his sister and brother quarreling over such a thing, he felt very uncomfortable. What's more, he is not the eldest son. He has never expected to get too much from his father and brother. In this case, he might as well rely on his sister who has always cared for him. He thinks his sister may be more generous to him than his brother.

"Good brother!" Charlotte was very happy. Smiling and waving to him, "You are much more sensible than your brother!"

Ou Ren smiled shyly, and then consciously shrank back into the corner again, while ignoring the angry gaze sent by his eldest brother.

"It seems we have one more vote." Charles was quite pleased. "Do you have any other opinions, sir?"

Two old people, a pair of Charlotte and Ou Ren, even if there is a family meeting, my side will have an absolute advantage. So Charles didn't panic at all and looked at his cousin leisurely.

"Is there no other room?" With the last glimmer of hope, the middle-aged man asked in a low voice.

"No more." Charles shook his head, "Haven't we already taken the initiative to make concessions? If we only asked for it unilaterally, you would not be satisfied, so we might as well give our own. Aren't we sincere enough? ? Sir, you should be satisfied."

So satisfied! The middle-aged man cursed in his heart, even though Charles seemed to generously merge his family property with his father's as family wealth. But isn’t the manager still Charlotte? With Charlotte's temperament, what's the difference between this and completely falling into his hands?

The only difference is that I will receive more money every year.

I didn't expect that at this age, I would have to collect pocket money from my daughter and son-in-law... The middle-aged man became melancholy inexplicably.

never mind. I can’t dwell on this matter anymore, hey...

"Okay, now that we've talked about this, what else is there to say?" The middle-aged man sighed dejectedly, and then nodded. "Just do as you say."

After getting the consent of the key person, Ciel and Charlotte looked at each other and smiled.

Then. Everyone's attention was focused on Phillip at the same time.

The sight of various emotions made Philip feel a little on pins and needles. He looked at his sister, then at his father, but in the end, he had no choice but to lower his head.

"Forget it, you have already reached this point, what else can I say?" Phillip laughed helplessly, then bowed to Charlotte exaggeratedly, and said to Xia Xia in a slightly mocking tone. Lot said, "I wish you good health, Her Majesty Queen Charlotte!"

"Thank you for your blessing, Mr. Treville." As if she didn't hear the dissatisfaction and ridicule, Charlotte smiled and saluted her brother in the same way, "I will try my best to make your life as comfortable as possible."

This implicit threat made Philip twitch slightly, but he could not say anything.

"Then, let's handle it in accordance with this agreement." Charles said calmly, "It's better to do it sooner rather than later. I will arrange someone to handle it soon. If you have any other opinions, please tell me as soon as possible." Mention it to me and I will try my best to consider it.”

No one spoke.

Charles shrugged, then looked at Charlotte, and followed Philip's example and bowed exaggeratedly.

"Your Majesty the Queen, please remember to send me more money in the future..." He teased with a smile.

At this time, it was completely impossible for him to imagine that he had inadvertently set the rule that Charlotte would be responsible for managing the accounts of his group and then distribute money to his family, gang members and lackeys.

And this nickname that Philip gave for ridicule later became well-deserved.

"Haha, it all depends on your performance, sir." Charlotte smiled happily and reached out to pat Charles on the head. "If you behave well, it's not a bad idea~"

In front of Charlotte's declaration of victory, Philip and his son became increasingly depressed.

"I have to go out for something, you can continue chatting." Phillip said something dissatisfied, and then strode out of the study.

Naturally, the little Duke Treville couldn't act so gloomy. He just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"God, I just don't understand, why should we raise a daughter?" Little Duke Treville sighed depressingly, "We regard her as an angel and fulfill all her wishes and demands. Let her live the best life we ​​can give her, but how does she repay us eagerly? She just left with this bastard and didn't miss us at all! She was always thinking about how to get money from her family, even at the cost of making her own father suffer! Experience it once... If all three children are daughters, I might as well give myself a shot now..."

"Pfft..." After hearing his father's half-truths and accusations, Charles couldn't help laughing.

"Dad! Don't say that!" Charlotte said dissatisfiedly, "I'm just carrying out grandpa's will. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who will be mean to my relatives. Don't you know that?"

The father shook his head, lowered his head and said nothing.

Ciel and Charlotte looked at each other.

Forget it, I can't continue to stimulate him.

"Take me to see your grandpa, Charlotte, the patient is the most important thing now." Charles blinked.

"Okay, Ciel, come with me." Charlotte nodded, and then left the room with Ciel.

……………………

"Thank you, Charles!" After walking to the corridor, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed, "Dad and brother must be crazy!"

She didn't expect that after calling Charles over to help, she would actually get a better result than she expected.

Charles quietly looked at Charlotte's smile and did not answer for a moment.

Charles himself also paid a lot, but for this smile, what does it matter? It's totally worth it.

At least, it can make up for his mistakes a little bit...

With this feeling, he reached out and hugged Charlotte in his arms again.

"As long as you are happy." He smiled and stroked her blonde hair. (To be continued...)
