Chapter 709 Even After Death, Favors Must Be Repaid

Looking at "herself" nestled in Hardy's arms, and then looking at Hardy's very "familiar" face, Mrs. Anna showed an envious expression.

Once upon a time, she was as close to old Hardy as this.

But she chose another way, a shortcut.

After the elemental body Mrs. Anna and Hardy were cuddled for a while, they let go and said: "It's not convenient now. After my body eats the petals of the world tree, our lifespan will be much longer, and there will be plenty of time to get together in the future."

Hardy nodded.

Mrs. Anna looked at Hardy, picked up the silver box and turned to leave.

The elemental body also left reluctantly.

The next day, after Hardy got up, he shared breakfast with Victor and his wife, Peter and his wife, and their children.

Hardy found that Mrs. Anna looked younger, and thought she should have eaten the two petals.

Victor still looked lost and depressed.

Peter and his wife also showed similar sadness.

But their children showed a heartless look.

After breakfast, Hardy went back to his room to rest. It was estimated that Peter and his wife should have finished breakfast and rested in the room for a while, so he walked out.

He passed by in the corridor, and then heard a noisy sound in front.

Looking closely, it turned out to be Peter's son, who was pointing at a maid and insulting her with a very arrogant attitude.

The maid lowered her head and dared not speak.

It seemed that she felt someone was next to her. The child, who was less than fifteen years old, looked a little nervous when he saw Hardy.

He smiled awkwardly at Hardy, and then left quickly.

Hardy shook his head slightly, came to the room of Peter and his wife, and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened, and Peter saw Hardy, his expression was stunned, and then he looked a little uneasy.

"Mr. Hardy, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Hardy nodded: "I want to talk to you about something."

"Then... please come in."

Peter made way and made a gesture of invitation.

This bedroom is quite large, with one living room and two rooms.

When Ellen heard the noise, she also came out of the inner room. She was obviously surprised to see Hardy and immediately became embarrassed.

"Mr. Hardy, I'm glad you're here."

Ellen made a welcome gesture that noble ladies usually use.

Hardy waved her hand indifferently: "Don't be so polite, I'm also a member of the Jeanna family, just be normal."

Peter and his wife sat down in front of Hardy, feeling a little uneasy and nervous.

It was like the feeling of a primary school student meeting the class teacher.

With their heads down, they waited for Hardy to lecture them.

It's not their fault... There are not many people in France who haven't heard of Hardy's name now.

The couple just smiled and didn't dare to talk.

Ellen was better. After all, she was the daughter of a wealthy businessman and had had dealings with aristocratic families. She was relatively calm.

Peter was not so good. Although he was now a member of the Jeanna family and had the status of a noble, it was still too short, and the "commoner" mentality in him still remained.

It's okay to meet other people, but it's easy to trigger his inferiority complex when meeting someone like Hardy who has a reputation and enough individual strength to oppress him.

"I came here today to talk to you about the issue of children's education."

Peter and his wife looked at each other.

"Did they do anything wrong?" Ailian asked in a low voice.

"That's not the case." Hardy waved his hand: "Originally, this matter should not be managed by me. It should be Ms. Enolin who should educate the offspring. But she can leave, and Lord Dora is not in charge of things, and now she has left. And Victor... He is very good, calm and reliable, but he is not very good at teaching the younger generation, so this matter will eventually fall on your heads."

Peter and his wife were a little embarrassed.

They actually knew that their children... were a little bit unpresentable.

Whether it was behavior, personality, or character.

Especially recently, they found that their children liked to beat and scold the servants.

They also mentioned it several times, but with little effect.

"The biggest problem of the Jeanne family now is that there is no reliable successor." Hardy sighed and said, "Victor obviously has no intention of being the head of the family, and your abilities are not enough to support the Jeanne family in the next ten years."

"What about the queen?" Ellen asked.

In her opinion, Queen Sissi is also a member of the Jeanne family, and she should be able to protect the Jeanne family.

"Although Queen Sissi is also a member of the Jeanne family, she has to consider the future development of the entire France and the future development of the royal family." Hardy sighed and said, "Just like I am also a member of the Jeanne family, but most of the time, I will only stay in Louisian County. The Jeanne family is yours after all, and we will leave sooner or later."

Both Peter and his wife were a little confused, and the whole person was in a daze.

They didn't understand why they were still different when they were obviously a family.

Hardy knew they would be like this, and didn't ask them to understand now.

At that time, he said: "Your abilities and knowledge are not up to par with your status, so I have an idea."

Peter was delighted at that time and said: "Please speak, Sir Hardy."

He was not afraid of hardship, but he was afraid of not having a way to advance.

He also understood that the world of the nobility was very cruel. Without someone to lead the way, they would be eaten to pieces by wolves and tigers hidden in the dark.

"Send your two sons to the Lions to serve as knight attendants." Hadi paused and continued: "Send your two daughters to the royal court to be female officials. They will come out in a few years. , they should have enough knowledge to become a qualified noble lady."

Ailian was stunned for a moment: "There is no problem in sending them to the palace to become female officials. I believe Queen Sissi will teach them well, but the Lion Faction... doesn't it have a grudge against us?"

"Have a grudge? There's no problem in saying that." Hardy smiled: "But the more important thing is... interests. As long as the interests are consistent, they will be our allies."

Peter was stunned for a moment and said, "But we have no direct contact with the Lion Faction people."

"Leave this matter to me." Hardy laughed: "Although there are some unpleasantness between me and the Lion Faction, I believe that I can convince them."

Peter stood up and solemnly gave Hardy a noble salute: "Thank you, Mr. Hardy, for working so hard for my two sons. Thank you very much."

Hardy smiled: "You're welcome, I also want to keep my promise to Sir Dora."

Yes... Hardy understood why Dora said those words to him before she died.

To be honest, that's all it is to owe a favor. Even if the other person dies, you have to find a way to return the favor.

Otherwise, I feel uncomfortable.

Dora knew clearly about his affair with Queen Sissi, but he pretended to know nothing and did not tell anyone about it.

This is...humanity. (End of chapter)
