The Happy Life of a Duchess

There shouldn't be such enthusiasm in the first place, and this level of discussion, if we really talk about it, won't fall on a magazine and its competition.

But if Adele didn't have a good reputation through the previous promotion, and the Barry family tried their best to discredit her in order to suppress her, one back and one, one black and one white, all the good and bad were taken up, and the topic would naturally be hot. Just go up.

Some people think it is good and a magazine worth reading, so they will naturally promote it.

On the other hand, in order to blacken it, or those who are not very despised by themselves, they will also be discussed later.

There are good and bad voices, so it will naturally be regarded as some kind of hot spot.

In this circle where if you don't even know the gossip, you will be regarded as backward, how could you miss such news?

So, I saw that the things that were originally smeared began to turn into very bad and political conspiracy theories...

What's more, the interests of a whole group were touched, and the Barry's family was not upright and had made many enemies. In an instant, the puddle of water turned into mud, which made it very difficult for people to understand.

Adele didn't know the situation outside, and the situation outside Bailu Manor wasn't clear either.

Except for a few people, such as Mr. Duval and Duke Jurati, who managed to deliver the letters and other contents to her. Of course, it is not easy to stop the letters from these two, and the other letters are basically under surveillance. I went through it again, and many of them had already been illegally disassembled when I got them.

Even if Adele and the others were extremely annoyed by this, there was no way to correct the situation. It was because the other party had the advantage in force value, and they did not have the ability to resist.

Under such circumstances, some well-connected people, such as Leo and others, naturally found a way to contact Mr. Duval or Mr. Duke. After learning from them that Adele's recent situation is fine, they can feel at ease.

However, in comparison, Margaret, who had a special status, was in a difficult situation.

Of course Margaret heard the gossip outside.

As a girl who has gradually returned to a peaceful daily life, she doesn't like to talk to her neighbors on weekdays. A few days ago, she even set off to live in the countryside for a short period of time, and got some natural fireworks , Only then can it be considered that the idea of ​​going to the monastery to "redeem" has been dispelled.

Marguerite is a delicate girl, and her purity makes her understand misfortune and pain better than others.

She is also a very kind person, even though she knew that Prudence followed her for other purposes, most of which were for her money, she still left her to talk and live with her.

She knew what Prudence was like now, just what she would have been like if she hadn't come back from the wrong way—

Of course, it's also possible that her body couldn't hold on first, and she died early. Sometimes she feels this way about herself.

But right now, Marigot still has something she loves, and she still has a lot of thoughts, and she has a little more expectation for the future.

She was very troubled by the pursuit of Mr. Armand, whose father was about to become the husband of her best friend Adele. She was 12 very reluctant to associate with him more, but Armand showed the pain of infatuation and secret love. And often she couldn't help being moved with compassion.

Marigot did not receive him. She had sworn to God in her heart that she would not easily go back to the bad and corrupt life of wandering in the past. Of course, she would not easily agree to Armand's request.

For his pursuit, she used to think of it as an obsession just like other men coveted her beauty, but later she found that Mr. Armand was actually serious.

His pain, his unrequited desire, and his strong love are all so real.

Margaret was really moved by it, but she still had reason, and she was a kind girl, she didn't want to just hide from Adele and associate with the other party, even though she was caught by his strong and unremitting insistence After several years of secret love and now several months of pursuit, Margaret believed that she could not so selfishly agree to the other party's request without telling Adele.

A part of her heart was indeed touched by his sincerity.

However, this love is no longer what she once crazily longed for.

Margaret once hoped that she could get a sincere love, and she also had beautiful fantasies about love, even though she was just a humble prostitute at that time.

However, after breaking away from this identity and living alone for a long time with the help of Prudence and the maid, she found that her impetuous heart had calmed down, and she had found a new life in her own life. direction.

She regained her faith in religion, and her love in nature.

Therefore, no matter how Armand's feelings moved her, Margaret could calmly say, I am still calm, and I have to think a little more.

She would never rush in again, even if Prudence urged her to try this gentleman again and again.

But even if the other party dared to promise to marry her, she was unwilling to be with the other party so easily and recklessly. She knew too well that he did not make such a promise, even though he pursued her, and at the same time, he should not be alone in his marriage As far as things that can be handled, he still has his family and relatives.

Margaret has been a good man, but it is hard to guarantee that some speechless people will keep pointing at the mistakes she made helplessly when she was young, as if she did not die of shame and indignation, that is her problem.

She didn't want such slander to fall on innocent people, on Adele who was very kind to her, gave her a lot of help, and wanted to help her grow or sell flowers in the garden.

"Are you crazy, are you really going to do this?"

Prudence was very restless from the moment she knew that Margaret wanted to make trouble.

"This is a big deal to lose your head!"

Again, in an attempt to dissuade Margaret, she even performed a hang, pretending to have a rope around her neck, in order to appear more convincing.

"Yes, I know it's dangerous." Margaret sighed.

"I once saw the appearance of the hanged people in the hanging ground in the east. In the window of the high tower, when I was very young, I gathered with them and watched it. After that, I watched it for days and nights Not asleep."

"But I never knew that Adele wanted to do such a great thing!" Margaret's eyes had never been so determined.

Those eyes, which were always marked with melancholy, weakness and softness in the past, burst out with unimaginable persistence and cognition at this moment.

Her pretty little face was tightly drawn, and there was a hint of resolute beauty on her face that always showed a polite social smile. A layer of light.

Prudence has long been familiar with Margaret's beauty, and of course she knows how this young girl has the ability to drive men crazy.

Margaret, who once made men go bankrupt in order to support her, naturally possesses a captivating beauty that matches the extravagant style of the past.

But at this moment, different from the kind of soft and charming that men like, and different from the kind of gentle and elegant that everyone thinks, Margaret has undergone a subtle change. This dull, vulgar, philistine, and short-sighted middle-aged woman paid attention.

"My God, did Monsieur Armand give you some ecstasy soup? If you want to be his lover..."

Prudence was quite helpless. Although she was instantly shocked by Margaret's special aura, she quickly found a new reason for herself.

Middle-aged women of this age, especially those who are accustomed to all kinds of gossip or what, always have their own logic, as if they have formed a habit of talking to themselves and do not conform to their own logical cognition, even if Is it because of her short-sightedness that she will never understand, she will find other answers, or distort it according to her usual understanding.

If it was some honorable gentleman or lady who spoke today, then what Prudence said at this moment would never be sarcasm or ironic persuasion, but all kinds of flattery.

"But, I want to do this, I want to help Adele and Mr. Duke."

"You went to see Mr. Armand..." She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Margaret with a smile.

"I rashly contacted Mr. Armand's father, Mr. Duval. He is Adele's fiancé. I believe he must know something else. He and Adele really love each other, and he did it for this I have worried a lot about this matter, and I know that such an outstanding gentleman must have bigger plans, but those big calculations are definitely not something that a woman like me can understand and understand."

"All I can do is to provide my best friend and benefactor with the help I can at the right time, no, not just what I can, I will do my best to help her...I know, the world There is no one who cares about me more than the Duchess and Mr. Duke. They care about me without any interest, and they are willing to help an ordinary woman, even a humble woman. They teach me and let me get back on track ... I know you took money from Adele ..."

Hearing this, Prudence's face froze slightly, she looked a little ugly, but she quickly recovered her usual expression, she smiled with her usual flattery, this is her long-standing The mask of habit is also one of the last ways for her to survive as a middle-aged prostitute who has no patrons.

"But I also know that Adele has her own good intentions in treating me. I'm not someone who can't listen to the truth. When I took the first step, I knew that I could do it. God still accepts me, even though I have done many wrong things. I confessed and prayed to the pastor, and I left a lot of reflections in the confessional and in front of the statue of the Virgin."

"I've said it more than once, to revisit the things in the past..." Margaret had a smile on her face. Although she was sighing, Prudence was stunned by her expression at this time. It was so frightening that she didn't even dare to look directly at it.

Prudence smiled, trying to figure out where this feeling came from. It wasn't until something happened that she finally understood that it was a "sense of holiness", a noble feeling that was not controlled by blood, and that was not controlled by blood. Affected by any external object, the quality that God can judge and see only when the soul reaches heaven——

A kind of Margaret is no longer the depraved woman she used to be, but has become a noble, noble, pure, human being.

"I feel deep pain and remorse for the precepts I committed. I constantly reflect on myself, and once again understand the intentions of Mr. Duke and others. Frankly speaking, even my biological father is just staying behind. I have to be a courtesan to be able to pay off the debts that I usually never pay off in my lifetime."

"Originally, I shouldn't contact Mr. Armand before expressing my thoughts with Adele. I also think that the two of us should give each other some time to calm down, but the development of the matter is beyond everyone's expectations. I also Knowing that Adele has been busy with important careers, I have not come to bother her for a long time."

"But after the accident now, I have no way of knowing the recent situation between her and Mr. Duke. As you know, I haven't even received the monthly living expenses in the past. Fortunately, I have saved a little on weekdays, so I won't be in trouble—you know this I also remember that you 'borrowed' nearly a thousand francs from me during this period, but I have absolutely no intention of asking you to pay it back, so you don't have to worry about it."

"I contacted Mr. Duval through Armand, and finally got a lot of news. I finally realized that this princess who looks somewhat like me and my good friend Adele is truly noble and respectable. She is a person who has a big cause in her heart and seeks the well-being of all French women. Although I am similar to her, I am not half as lofty as her. I am far behind her—”

"I used to narrowly think that the distance from her was nothing more than family blood. Now I understand that I am far inferior to her in terms of knowledge and insight, but now she has temporarily fallen into the mud. As a good friend, I How can you be indifferent?"

"But you don't need to..." Prudence was told a lot by her. Ever since Margaret changed her personality, she was less arrogant and disobedient than before, but now she Her firmness seemed a bit special, so special that Prudence couldn't find any reason to refute her.

"I am willing, and I have already agreed to Mr. Duval." On Marigette's face, there was a surprised smile called "satisfied".

"I'm glad I was able to do this."

"I would love to go to a march, be a protester in a march, and speak for the many, many protesters who support Adele."

"This is my chance to be involved in a noble cause, and that's what I should be doing."

"No one is more suitable than me." The smile on Margaret's face deepened.

She folded her hands on her chest.

"I can feel my heartbeat, I've never felt 'alive' so vividly!"

"Prudence, I want to be a valuable person! Life and death are no longer enough to restrain me. I have already prepared for myself since I stepped into that dirty and depraved circle. I've lost my way in life, but now I know—”

"In front of me, there is a wonderful lady who is leading us."

The author has something to say:

The heroine of a famous book must have her special place. This kind of nobility and religion is exactly what I want to give to La Traviata.

I think that many works of western masterpieces have this sense of "purification", especially they like to write stories about prostitutes, low status or special girls, mixing them with religion and giving them a new meaning. Just think of a good ending for Margaret

There will be another paragraph later, I hope you will like it after watching it.At the beginning, I asked about the ending of La Traviata. After watching it, I wonder if the sweethearts will be satisfied with the result?
