One Hundred and Seventy-Nine, Express Your Heart

Under the secret discussion of Edmond Dantès and Bowan, a plan to destroy the Tanglar Bank and then take the opportunity to disrupt the financial order of the whole of France began quietly in the dark.

And the Agnes family, who seemed to have nothing to do with this conspiracy, unexpectedly became one of the scheduled victims.

But now Agnes doesn't know anything about it, she still lives the leisurely life before, unaware that in the sinister world, there is an invisible big net that is slowly attacking her.

Since Xia Lu was born, Agnes, who loves this little niece very much, has visited the Marquis de Treville's house regularly, and today is also the day.

According to her usual habit, she visited in the morning, and as usual, she was also warmly received by the Marquis's family.

After the greetings, Edgar routinely left the table so that the two sisters could chat freely.

After her brother-in-law left, Agnes played with Xia Lu as usual, while Alice sat next to her, watching her sister's happy face.

"Agnes...?" After playing for a while, Alice finally spoke again.

"What's the matter?" Agnes stopped teasing, then looked at her sister.

"How are you lately...?" My sister asked cautiously.

"What's the matter?" Agnes tilted her head, unable to understand her sister's intentions, "It's still the same as usual? It's no different."

Seeing her sister's ignorant and ignorant look, Alice's heart couldn't help but ache, "I mean, have you been invited outside recently, to participate in any activities?"

"No." Agnes replied immediately, "It seems that the people in the palace don't like me...but I don't care about that, and I'm still happy."

Sure enough... Alice secretly sighed inwardly.

It seemed that Edgar was indeed right. It was already very difficult for Agnes to stand out in the social arena.

"It's not your fault, you are the victim." She comforted her sister first, and then changed the subject, "Then, has father introduced any young talents to you recently? Logically speaking, you are already old It's not too small, he should also care about it, right?"

This question made Agnes blush, "Dad hinted to me before, but I pretended to be a lake to get past it... I don't want that kind of thing!"

"But now is the time to think about it? Father is doing it for your own good." Alice retorted to her sister, "Agnes, don't treat yourself like a child all the time. It's time to change your mentality. Look at people of your age. Those ladies have already competed in the social arena, what are they doing for?"

"Why don't I care about them, but I don't want to be one of them, just get together and chatter about meaningless topics all day long..." Agnes replied disapprovingly, "Are you so eager to make me change?" Are you from another family?"

"There will always be such a day, don't you think I am like this?" Alice still tried to persuade her sister, "You like Xia Lu so much, don't you want to have one, or even several Xia Lu of your own?"< /p>

This question hit Agnes right.

As a young girl, why doesn't she secretly hope that she can have such a smart and lovely child like her sister?

"Of course, but it's not that easy..." After a while, she replied slightly aggrieved, "Looking around, I haven't found anyone who is tempting enough. If that's the case, why force it? Do you want to marry those wives?" Like us, marry someone you don't like and have fun? Sister, would you like to see me become such a person...? No, I can't do it. Instead of letting me commit such crimes, It’s better not to step into the marriage hall in the first place, I would rather become a nun and serve God for the rest of my life than do this kind of thing.”

Agnes' rebuttal left Alice speechless for a moment.

She also knows the character of her younger sister, and she will not accept that she will marry someone of the same class as other wives at random and have fun after marriage. Moreover, Alice herself can't stand such a dazzling younger sister, who just feels wronged and becomes a mediocre person. older wife.

However, if I want to find an ideal young hero for my sister, there is another problem correspondingly—those heroes among young people must also be ambitious and want to make a big career. They are considering getting married When dating, in addition to the future wife itself, she must also consider what extra the wife can bring.

In this regard, Agnes, who is no longer favored by the court, has a natural disadvantage. As long as ambitious young people consider this point, no matter how dazzling Agnes is, I am afraid they will still feel the same Stay away.

My husband was right about this.

Therefore, in order to break this unfavorable situation and to add luster to her sister, she must do something.

"Agnes..." Alice said quietly, "I know, you are right, with your character, you should be a woman admired by everyone, but fate has played tricks on you and made you bear the envy of others. This is unfair, we must not swallow our anger, we should find justice.”

Agnes couldn't help but look at her sister hesitantly when she heard something was wrong, "Are you okay?"

Only then did she belatedly realize that her sister's expression seemed a little strange, as if she was troubled by something.

"Nothing." Alice shook her head.

At this time, she has already made up her mind, since this road is blocked, she will find a new road for her sister, she will never tolerate her sister being in the same dust, being swallowed up by this world.

She suddenly changed the subject, "Agnes, to be honest, I will leave Paris with Edgar after a while, and Xia Lu will also leave with us."

"Why?" Agnes was suddenly surprised. "What happened? Where are you going?"

"We're going to Switzerland—" Alice replied pointedly, "well, it's just along the route we took during our wedding trip."

It was Agnes who accompanied them all the way on their wedding trip back then, so the memories of that journey suddenly appeared in Agnes' mind.

And all these memories along the way finally gathered in that unknown mountain village and farm.

That night, that young man...

"Sister, what are you going to do again?" Agnes eagerly shook off the memories, and then asked her sister loudly, "Are you going to participate in some conspiracy?"

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't have leaked the secret to you, but if I disappear without telling you anything, I'm afraid you will be more anxious, so let's say it, I believe you will keep the secret for us." Alice said With a wry smile, he explained to his sister, "Yes, we will go to see His Majesty—His Majesty has come to Switzerland secretly, in the farm where we met him last time."

He has actually swaggered to the country adjacent to France!

Even Agnes, who doesn't care about worldly affairs, can't help but smell a dull breath before the storm.

Obviously, the closer he is to France, the more dangerous he is. Since he took the initiative to come to Switzerland, it means that he has already decided to do everything without hesitation—and the fact that his sister and brother-in-law went to see him must be part of his next series of actions part.

But, sister... why do you have to work so hard? What does it matter to you and me? Agnes couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.

"Why did you and Xia Lu go there?" She couldn't help persuading Alice, "Isn't it enough for Edgar to go alone to see that guy? It's a shame that you, mother and daughter, have to suffer from bumps for no reason. Why bother!?"

"No, it's different." Alice shook her head, "The future of our family is firmly bound to the Bonaparte family, but to be honest, we are not the only ones who want to cling to the Bonaparte family? We The only advantage we can rely on is that we met His Majesty earlier than others and established a friendship with him. This kind of friendship is the most precious property of our family in the future... We must use all our efforts to maintain this property. p>

When His Majesty returns to the country, some people want to prostrate themselves before him and beg for favor, but we might not be able to get in the queue. In this case, why not let His Majesty see us early, especially Xia Lu..."

When she said this, Alice looked at the daughter in Agnes' arms, her blue eyes were full of love, "This is also extremely important to her. My daughter must be the happiest in the future I'm not afraid to pay any price to make this happen, boy."

Hearing what Alice said, although Agnes wanted to persuade her again, she didn't know how to persuade her.

She knew in her heart that her sister had already boarded a pirate ship, and she was tied too deeply, so she had only one way to go to the end.

What's more, how can a mother have the heart to be harsh when she paves the way for her child?

She was filled with anger and anger, but she didn't know how to vent it.

"It's all that bastard's fault! He brought all these troubles and disasters. It would be great if he just stayed in Austria and became his prince!" Finally, she couldn't help cursing someone angrily. Those who were not present, "Since he was born, he has brought endless bloodshed and disasters to the world, and I think it will be like this in the future!"

Seeing her younger sister's angry look, Alice was both funny and nervous, "Agnes, you can't say that in front of outsiders. After all, he is the object of my family's allegiance. If others find out, God knows what will happen." What's the trouble?"

"Why, can't you even complain?" Agnes was still furious. "I complained. Could it be that he is really the incarnation of God, who can't even speak? You are all afraid, but I am not. I dare to scold him in front of him, not only behind his back!"

"Huh?" Alice sensed something from her words.

"Sister, let me go with you. You mother and daughter are going on the road like this. I can't rest assured anyway." Agnes raised her head suddenly, and made a loud request to her sister in a tone full of determination. , "Just like last time, take me! I will definitely protect you!"

Alice looked at her enthusiastic younger sister, and her heart was filled with emotion and shame.

She knew that Agnes would say so—and that was what she wanted.

Although her purpose of inducing Agnes in this way is also for her own good, but is this not tricking her sister into a thief ship?

Agnes, cheated by her favorite and most trusted sister - Alice knows this well.

Just because she knew, she was full of loathing for herself in her heart.

God, is this world so filthy that those noble souls must be wronged and wronged?

However, she knows better that this is the best way at present.

What can I do?

"Agnes, thank you... I know your friendship, so I will not refuse you, I will only remember your true feelings for me and Xia Lu." Alice sighed, and then suddenly went to He fell forward and hugged his sister, "We will treat you as you treat me, and we will always stand by your side."

In this way, the two sisters, and Xia Lu, quietly embraced each other, clinging to each other, feeling each other's body temperature and heartbeat.

Although this world is full of filth and evil, even between father and son brothers, there are often endless disputes and crimes, but at least among these two sisters, there is absolutely no negative thing, only the best true love.

Although Agnes was completely moved, she pretended not to care on the surface, "It's a trivial matter, don't take it so seriously! I'm just doing what I should do—"

Speaking of this, she suddenly became a little worried again.

My sister and brother-in-law went to see that guy, so in other words, did I also go to see him? Wouldn't it be inferior to others for no reason?

Especially, for the sake of her sister, she can't be too arrogant at that time, she must at least show respect on the surface.

Since the conflict between the two, she was full of anger and disgust towards Aigron, and she couldn't help feeling extremely annoyed when she thought that she would bow her head.

But for the sake of my sister, why not sacrifice a little face?

Seeing her younger sister's changing expression, Alice was filled with emotion. Although she didn't know what happened between Aegron and Agnes, she also felt a little embarrassed.

The last time they had seen His Majesty he had been alone, but now that he was married and even had children—it was impossible for Agnes to be his wife anyway.

This really made her feel sorry, otherwise why would she bother about her younger sister's choice of a son-in-law?

But no matter what, reality must be faced after all.

"By the way, Agnes, how is your relationship with Her Highness Teresa?" Alice suddenly thought of another question. "This time, His Highness Teresa is also there, she is the mistress of my family."

Agnes was stunned, and she didn't know how to describe her relationship with Teresa.

"We can't be called friends, but we respect each other." In the end, that's all she could describe.

"Did she ever dislike you for your popularity?" Alice asked again.

Agnes didn't know how to answer for a while. After all, Teresa was not unhappy, but she didn't lose her composure.

"She is a very educated person, and she is very measured in dealing with people..."

The younger sister's answer made Alice believe her husband's words even more, "Then we just have to deal with her properly. Agnes, don't be afraid of her, everything depends on me."
