Chapter 35 Audacity
The door to the room was specially made, and a square opening was opened in the door leaf, enough to allow the plates to pass through.
The servants of Mr. Jacques's family delivered food into the room through this opening on the door.
In this way, the servant will not have any contact with the people in the room throughout the process.
"Madam, lunch is here. I made delicious stew today. Please eat more. I'll be back during dinner."
The servant knocked on the door. After saying that, he left immediately. It seemed that he was not willing to stay any longer. After the servant left, the door of the other room in the corridor slowly opened. .
The maid walked out of the next room expressionlessly.
Before she came to this door was the room of M. Jacques's wife, Mme. Isabelle.
There are almost no treatments for this condition in this era...the best way is to isolate, and in some places even execute people to avoid becoming the source of infection.
The maid stood outside the door, listening to the movements in the room... There was no movement in the room.
She casually placed her hand on the doorknob.
"You're in the wrong room."
At this moment, Mr. Jacques's voice sounded from behind... The movement of the maid's hand suddenly stopped. She turned around nonchalantly and smiled, "I'm a little curious."
Mr. Jacques said calmly: "I am very happy that guests are willing to visit my house. If you are interested, Miss Youye, I can take you to visit, but only in places other than this room."
"I heard from Miss Jeanne that your wife is sick." The maid said softly.
"This is not a secret." Mr. Jacques shook his head: "It's just that no one wants to mention it... probably because I have a farm and provide them with a lot of jobs."
The maid suddenly said: "In my hometown, there is a pharmacy that can treat this disease. Mr. Jacques, would you like to try it?"
Mr. Jacques obviously didn't expect that this beautiful woman would have such an answer... He seemed to be stunned on the spot as he didn't know how to respond.
The maid further said: "Mr. Jacques, don't you hope that your wife will recover from her illness? I think that as a patient, there is no more urgent prayer than for yourself to recover."
Mr. Jacques took a deep breath, "I thank you on behalf of Isabel... It's just that we have tried many methods over the years. Isabel has experienced a lot of pain..."
The maid asked: "Mr. Jacques is planning to give up?"
Mr. Jacques shook his head: "I don't want to give up, but I don't dare to try easily. As I said, we tried many methods, but in the end there was no result. The pain made my wife very emotionally unstable, and she was unwilling Even I have trouble getting close to people."
"My prescription is indeed effective." The maid said again: "If your wife cannot be cured, I am willing to accompany her to contract the disease."
Mr. Jacques opened his mouth in surprise, "This is really a touching guarantee, Miss Youye... This even made my heart move."
"It's just that Mr. Jacques doesn't seem too optimistic about being able to cure his wife." The maid narrowed her eyes.
Mr. Jacques was silent, and after a while he slowly said: "Perhaps, we are all accustomed to this state, allowing things like hope to always exist in fantasy, and will not and dare not easily break this fragility. And there is no hope in sight.”
"I can." The maid said seriously.
This was already her third statement... Mr. Jacques was slightly moved.
He even pondered silently... Maybe he had made a decision in his mind. Mr. Jacques breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will find a way to calm my wife's emotions and let her try again. Please give me some time."
"It does take patience to treat patients." The maid said with a smile.
"Just a moment please."
With that said, Mr. Jacques took out a key from his pocket and unlocked the door to the room. Before entering, Mr. Jacques said softly: "Isabel, I'm coming in. I have something to say to you."

At this moment, the maid suddenly asked: "Mr. Jacques, do you really believe me?"
Mr. Jacques did not think too much, but said directly: "It is difficult for me to trust a stranger... but I trust your master, he has a pair of clear eyes. In fact, I know how to observe a person's eyes."
The maid said: "What does Mr. Jacques think of my eyes?"
"Very beautiful, as beautiful as gems." Mr. Jacques smiled casually, "They are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen."
"Is it just beautiful?"
"I think beauty is the best compliment for a lady." Mr. Jacques smiled and said, "Forgive me for my shallow knowledge, but I really can't find a more suitable word than beauty."
"I'm waiting for your news here, Mr. Jacques." The maid took two small steps back.
Before finally entering the door, Mr. Jacques suddenly asked: "Is it Luo's intention to treat my wife?"
"It's my personal intention." The maid said calmly: "But it is also my job to solve the master's problems."
"Luo...he has a very good servant." Mr. Jacques nodded and took a deep look at the maid.
The door opened a little, and Mr. Jacques walked into the room cautiously, and then closed the door again... Through the door, the maid lady could hear Mr. Jacques calling his wife's name.
"Isabel, forgive me for disturbing you at this time..."
Only the voice of Monsieur Jacques spoke.
At this moment, the maid lady stretched out her finger... At the fingertip, a small black butterfly slowly flew out. The butterfly flew towards the door and disappeared in an instant.
The black butterfly has flown into the door.
The room was very empty, with no extra furnishings, only a large bed... There were gauze curtains on all sides of the bed, and Mr. Jacques was standing next to the big bed, talking through the gauze curtain.
The black butterfly parked quietly aside.
Vaguely, a sitting figure could be seen inside the gauze tent.
At this time, Mr. Jacques was whispering something.
It’s not about curing a disease.
"...I plan to send Jeanne away tonight. I know you will agree with what I am doing, Isabel." Mr. Jacques sighed and said: "If you don't speak, I will treat it as your agreement."
…
The maid outside the door did not wait long, Mr. Jacques had already walked out of the room.
"I hope I can hear good news." The young lady said with a smile.
"I hope I can wait for your good news, Miss Youye." Mr. Jacques nodded: "My wife agreed, but she was a little emotional. I wanted to wait until she calmed down before starting treatment. Moreover, I think since you need treatment, you also need some time to prepare... If you need anything, just ask the servants at home, and I will tell them."
"Then what time does Mr. Jacques think is more appropriate?"
Mr. Jacques thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it will be better if you wait until night, what do you think?"
"I follow your instructions." The maid nodded: "Then I will go back and prepare some necessary supplies."
"Wait, I hope I won't tell Jeanne about this for the time being." Mr. Jacques suddenly said: "The right time will be after the good news comes out."
"certainly."
Mr. Jacques said: "Today may be a good day...at least better than I imagined. You can go back first. I also want to spend some time with my wife."
"Then I'll take my leave now."
…
…
The so-called wife's obligations are actually many... but the girl's behavior at this time may be specific to certain aspects.
The girl has always been a bold person.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to hunt alone in the forest, let alone go deep into the dangerous underground river, and she would often take advantage of the convenient transportation of the underground river.
To an ordinary young man of fourteen or fifteen years old, these deeds are probably behaviors that only exist in illusions.
She is really bold.
After saying those words that were like a declaration, she even cooperated with the action... her soft body suddenly fell into Boss Luo's arms.
Panic, fear...and even some excitement.
The longing for men and the restlessness of adolescence are even mixed with some unclear thoughts of the girl. Under all kinds of unprecedented stimulation, the girl's heart is beating fast at this time.
This is an age when it is easy to be impulsive and even reckless.
She hugged Luo Qiu's body tightly and buried her head in his arms, "I want to join the army. I don't want to be bound by marriage for the rest of my life. Please forgive me for my willfulness... This is the best Please let me leave your side temporarily. For this, I will dedicate my body and loyalty to you. This is the greatest promise I can give you, with my purity!"
Her heart beat harder.
Maybe this wasn't what she really wanted to say...but it was the words she could think of to express her will clearly.
"Miss Jeanne, don't you think this is a bit hasty?" Boss Luo asked softly.
The girl shook her head and said quietly: "Maybe my father wants to send me away...otherwise he wouldn't be so eager for me to marry you. Something happened today, and my father never wanted to say those important words to me like he did today. Although I felt very uncomfortable, I could vaguely feel the meaning of his words."
Boss Luo listened calmly.
The girl raised her head and said: "If I don't go with you, there is a high probability that Bertrand will take me away. He may send me to another place and then temporarily lock me up. This way I will not be free. But I can be free from you."
Boss Luo said calmly: "How does Miss Jeanne know? I will let you leave."
"So I will make you believe that I will remain loyal to you." The girl said solemnly: "My loyalty to love will be as firm as my belief in miracles. I know that I have something I must complete. My mission... I can only choose this way to reassure my family. The most important thing is that I... I don't hate you."
"What is your mission?" Boss Luo suddenly asked.
The girl said: "I will drive away the brutal Burgundians, and finally defeat the British Empire that supports the Burgundians behind them, and let the wind of freedom blow on the land of France!"
"You expected that?"
"I am extremely looking forward to this day, because this is the meaning of my existence and my destiny."
"A revelation of a miracle?"
"You were there at the time, weren't you." The girl's eyes were hazy, "It was you who witnessed me pulling out the [Sword of Victory]. You were my first witness... There is no one more suitable than you. And , we still have an engagement, this must be [Saint Michael]’s arrangement!”
Boss Luo said calmly: "If I say, I am unwilling to regard this as an arrangement, and even more unwilling to admit that this is the will of [Saint Michael]... I may even hate [Saint Michael] , will you still persist?"
"Be careful!" There was a hint of panic in the girl's eyes. She even subconsciously looked at the [Sword of Victory] aside and said hurriedly: "When I pray, I will add your name!"
"I will look forward to [Saint Michael] coming to talk to me." Boss Luo smiled casually.
The girl opened her mouth...this guy is real!
However, there is no way to force belief in something like this, and not all people in the outside world have faith... Girls have always believed that belief in something like this depends entirely on personal freedom.
If you have it, you can have it, and if you don’t have it, you can’t force it... Faith should be a spirit that keeps people positive and exists, and should not become a tool for rule.
She took a deep breath. At this moment, she was still hugging the other person's body tightly. Her thin clothes could not completely block the contact between her body and skin.
"...You, will you promise me?" the girl asked in a low voice: "I know my request is very willful, but please give me a few years. Anyway... Anyway, you have the habit of raising maids, even if I am not here When, you can also...can."
Boss Luo didn't even know when he had the habit of raising a maid.
He shook his head, gently pressed the girl's shoulders, and pushed her away from his arms, "You guessed one thing right. Your father does intend to let me take you away, and I'm afraid the time will be this day." Within two days.”
"You agreed?" the girl asked in surprise.
"I didn't agree." Boss Luo said calmly: "But I didn't refuse either... I think I should agree."
"Then..." The girl's face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head subconsciously, and then tugged at the corner of Boss Luo's clothes. She whispered like a mosquito, "Wait... Can you do it later? Do it outside. I heard If you put it inside, you will... have children. I... I mean, after I defeat Britain, I... I will definitely give you... a child."
Boss Luo took a step closer at this time, and the girl slowly took a step back like a frightened rabbit.
Luo Qiu took a step forward, and the girl subconsciously took another step back.
Finally, she was forced to the bed and sat down immediately. She lowered her head, bit her lip, and held the clothes around her waist tightly with both hands.
"I...I'm ready."
Boss Luo bent down, picked up the sheet, and wrapped it around the girl's body.
The girl was stunned, raised her head in surprise, and her eyes widened.
"It's too early for you to do this kind of thing." Boss Luo smiled slightly.
"You..." the girl's face paled slightly, "Do you think I'm... still young?"
Boss Luo put his fingers together, gently tapped the girl's forehead, and said with a chuckle: "Read less books that only adults can read. I'll go find your father."
