The Happy Life of a Duchess

"Baron Bernard's family has some relationship with pearls."

Dana's expression looked a little weird, not a taboo, but rather a subtle embarrassment.

"How to say?" Adele seemed to have some interest at last.

"Because I can't be sure whether it's true or not. I also know this from the conversation between Ada and Miss Sophie." Dana didn't hide the reason why she knew the information. It was because of this that she was embarrassed. She was eavesdropping. Arrived, can not be regarded as very aboveboard.

Adele nodded to show that she understood.

After all, even Mariana didn't know the news, but Dana, who looked younger and less experienced, did.

"Later... I also inquired about it."

Dana was also unambiguous and explained it all.

"The wife Mr. Baron Bernard should have married was not Mrs. Bernard now, but another one, but when discussing the engagement, I don't know what happened... It's quite taboo, now No one mentions it, and I don’t know the details, anyway, the final result is that Baron Bernard married the current businessman, who has a little money but is otherwise... quite ordinary Mrs. Bernard."

"..." Adele frowned briefly, then let go, and continued to listen to her explanation.

"It is said that it was arranged by the old Baron Bernard and the old baroness, but..." Dana smiled and took a sip of tea, "It's strange, isn't it? So I tried to find out, and at least there was someone Climbing up to the elder sister of the Barry family, our relationship with them is not that close, but it is a little closer than others."

"Many years ago, the old Baron Bernard made an investment. Everyone only knew that he was cheated out of the investment. It was said that the stock plummeted after investing, but it didn't hurt his bones, because he wanted to be bored at the beginning. I said I made a fortune, so I didn’t say it to the outside world, and most people really thought so. At that time, the British stock market really jumped very fast, which was very shocking. I also later learned from Miss Sophie’s accidental slip of the tongue, In fact, the old baron cooperated with a pearl supplier in Spain. He invested a lot of money in it, but he didn't expect that this was a gang of scammers who took the money and ran away. bankrupted."

Adele didn't care about the little inconsistency in her words before and after, no matter whether it was eavesdropping or a slip of the tongue, the news sounds quite true, that's all.

"I will know later... Baron Bernard married his current wife, but no matter what, the family's vitality will definitely be severely damaged. According to the old man, they almost fell out of the noble class at that time, and even moved to Normandy. , but in the end I stayed, and got over my breath."

"Miss Bernard and Mrs. Barry's marriage has also been affected?"

Adele reacted quickly, and Dana smiled and clasped her hands together, as if admiring.

"Of course, even if you are relieved by Mrs. Bernard's dowry, it is absolutely impossible to give the money to your husband's sister as a dowry. Naturally, Mrs. Barry will never be rich in those years before and after her marriage, but in Barry It doesn't matter if you are at home, and later became the king's lover, and the pomp represents His Majesty's face, so naturally it is not bad."

"Is there a connection?" Adele asked cryptically, whether the improvement of the Bernard family's poverty has something to do with Mrs. Barry marrying into the Barry family and becoming the king's lover again.

Dana shook her head, not sure:

"I can't say for certain about this matter. Who knows if there will be any changes in my heart after experiencing such an accident? The poorer you are, the more you know the importance of money. Women always need some good jewelry decorations."

Everyone knows that Mrs. Barry is extravagant and likes to put on a show. The balls held in the palace are also very extravagant, which even makes the king more pleasing.

"This happened many years ago, and the most important thing is that the Bernard family is very taboo for people to say this, and because there is no conclusive evidence for the bankruptcy rumors, they look the same as before, so now they say this There are not many people." Dana added, expressing that her news was indeed hard-won.

"Yes," Adele nodded in affirmation of her words, "I didn't expect such a change."

"Such a big piece of news..." Dai Na waved her hand, "It's not because there are too many speculations. Rumors are always refurbished. This kind of unconfirmed and indeed bankrupt news will not be remembered after a long time. Every year in the circle, there are rumors about which one is stingy and which one seems to be going bankrupt, but few of them are really bankrupt... It’s not unconfirmed, but if it really goes bankrupt, it’s okay to move out. No one will remember."

"If I hadn't heard it from Miss Barry, I would have taken it as false news and laughed it off. Now who can say that Baron Bernard's family seems to be going bankrupt? There is no sign of it at all. As for the past I have never seen what kind of scenery it is... Maybe it looks the same before and after, if they deliberately conceal it, it will still be the same."

In any case, Dana of the same age did bring her a piece of news that sounded reliable.

This is news that is difficult for newcomers in Adele's circle to know. After all, there are a lot of gossips, and nine out of ten are false, and everyone may not be able to remember every one of them. Naturally, they will not bother to remember them when they have new ones. Old news, no one cares about old gossip, what everyone wants to hear is the latest news.

The most important thing is that this news actually came from Miss Barry.

In other words, Miss Sophie Barry should know more about the details.

Adele guessed wildly that the old Baron Bernard had suffered a great loss from the pearls, causing the whole family to suffer, and was on the verge of bankruptcy. He even blew up his son's marriage. Today's Mrs. Bernard, who is of an average level, is really not sure that so many people on the other side don't remember any hatred.

But before that, Adele didn't know that Baron Bernard had taboos such as not being able to see pearls, and she didn't know whether it was because they didn't like pink pearls.

After thinking about it, Adele couldn't help but wonder.

It's not her conspiracy theory, but these coincidences are too many, and considering that Dana deliberately hinted at her that Miss Barry often asks her sister Ada, who is more impulsive, to do something, the two of them are Ming and Yi. In the dark, many things are actually planned by Miss Barry...

Adele even felt that the previous rumors should have been written by Miss Barry, but in the end, this matter failed and was suppressed and resolved without ruining her reputation.

Theoretically speaking, she and Miss Barry should have no enmity.

But thinking that one of the biggest beneficiaries of the previous rumors was actually Miss Barry, she guessed that the other party was probably not innocent, and the biggest possibility was that she had natural hostility with her——

He just wanted to suppress her, and she couldn't be plundered as the number one beauty.

"Jenny, I have to write a letter first."

Coming out of the bathroom, Jenny helped her dry her wet hair.

"It's so late..." She hesitated, "It's not good for your eyes... Is there something to do during the day, are you still thinking about it? If you can, why don't you get up and write tomorrow."

"It's okay, just write for a while, can you help me send it to Mrs. Castellana tomorrow morning? I have to confirm one thing..."

If things were really as Dana said, it would be clear that Miss Sophie Barry wanted to plot against her, but she did so in a very subtle way, and with just a pearl necklace, she couldn't be sure...

It's not that there are no other guests wearing pearls in Bernard's house. Could it be that there is something special about her pink pearls that make them so taboo?But even so, it might not be able to cause her any harm...

If it is not allowed to wear pearls, it is the Baron Bernard's family's disrespect, and the responsibility will not fall on her head, so if pearls are really used to make a fuss, then there must be other hidden secrets in it.

Adele was puzzled in her heart. Although she was sure that Miss Sophie Barry was not as kind as she appeared on the surface, she still had to have some evidence in hand in order to counterattack more openly, only relying on these traces of coincidence , can only keep her vigilant.

After thinking about it for a long time, she finally felt that she could ask Mrs. Castellana about the rumor.

One is that this lady knows a lot of gossip, and she is one of the most well-informed ladies, and the other is that this lady does not have a good impression of Miss Sophie Barry. It has been like this from the beginning, and she cannot be missed I don't like a beauty for no reason, I just hope that I can use this to test out some content.

It would be great if I could directly know the hidden secrets, especially about pearls, what kind of articles are there...

"It's so annoying..."

Adele rubbed her hair that became very soft and fluffy after washing and drying, and finally fell on the bed.

In her mind, she skipped all the scenes of getting along today and the previous trips with Morgana and Miss Barry, and searched for all the traces in her memory. She also had to admit that, but after a day of getting along, her perception of Miss Barry had already changed. It has become very ordinary, even if there is no such thing as pearls, she will not become friends with Miss Barry, let alone——

The other party seems to be one of Mr. Duval's ladies.

After a while, she chuckled again:

"really interesting."
