Jiqiu replaced the original fragrance with a slightly aphrodisiac potion, which greatly reduced the side effects.

In order to investigate who was targeting her, Jiqiu submitted a leave application to the king, and she decided to go out of the palace and use her personal network in Paris to find clues.

"Do you have to go home?" Ryan glanced at the vacation time, he frowned, "Two weeks, it's a bit too long."

"Sorry, Margaret is my only family member. She is getting engaged in the near future, and I must be there."

Jiqiu said sincerely that in fact Marguerite did intend to get engaged, but before she fully accepted Armand, Margaret still rejected Armand's proposal again.

"I'm in Paris. If you have something urgent, you can send someone to the Champs Elysees Avenue to find me."

Jiqiu looked at Leian, whose face was a little distracted, and she thought of what he ordered, "How was your Majesty last night?"

"I don't feel the feeling you said." Ryan's voice was lazy. He and his wife in name combined each other with a business-like attitude. There was no passion between the two, and he looked a little Doubt, "Is there something wrong with your medicine?"

"How is that possible, Your Majesty." Jiqiu heard that her professional knowledge was questioned by laymen, she explained solemnly, "Most of those medicines are very harmful to the body, for the sake of your body, I chose a mild one. Way."

What she was even more afraid of was that the two of them were exercising too vigorously, and in the end they lost the child.

"Okay, I see." Ryan reluctantly accepted the explanation.

When Jiqiu returned to the Champs Elysees mansion, she was greeted by Mrs. Louise's warm embrace.

"Oh, sir, welcome back!" The housekeeper's wife has worked in Goetti's house for five years, and it is no longer an ordinary employer-employee relationship. She also sincerely respects and loves the two young masters.

"Is it okay at home when I'm not there?" Jiqiu took off her coat, and she loosened her tie. "It's better to go home. It feels too depressing to stay in the palace for a long time."

"Oh, of course, I have asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite Wellington steak and pasta." Louise took the coat from Jiqiu's hand, and she watched the young man walk into the room.

Jiqiu looked around the living room and stopped. She turned her head and asked Mrs. Louise who was hanging her coat in the hallway, "Did Mr. Duval stay here?"

Before the wife of the housekeeper could answer, she strode into the living room, looked at the position of the teapot, and the documents scattered on the coffee table, "No, he has moved in?!"

As soon as the words fell, a familiar male voice sounded from the stairs, "Long time no see, Mr. Goetti."

Armand was wearing a loose white shirt with a well-tailored handmade brown vest, which was completely different from the image of the idle boy before.

Jiqiu nodded coldly, as a greeting, she decided to go back to her room and wait until Margaret came back to meet her before leaving.

"Can we talk?" Armand asked, and he glanced at Mrs. Louise, who was quiet beside him. "Marguerite went to the publishing house to discuss the manuscript fee, and she won't be back in a short time."

"Let's go to the study." Jiqiu felt that this matter should be settled. Even if she dragged on, Marguerite and Armand would still be together. After a long time, it would cause more trouble, and being indecisive is not her style.

The two entered the study one after the other, and after Susie served the black tea and left, Armand spoke first, "Mr. Goetti, I want to know, how can I get you to agree to marry Marguerite to me?"

"I opened a law firm on Avenue Renault in Paris. Although the income is not much, it is enough to stop me from asking my family for money. I agree with what you said at the beginning. If a man wants to start a family, he must first start a business. Now I have a Decent work."

"After meeting Margaret, I have never looked for a lover again. To this day, I still put my whole heart on Margaret.

After we get married, I will transfer the estate in my name to Margaret's name, so you don't have to worry about me abandoning your sister. "

Jiqiu sat on the single sofa and listened to Armand counting his own strengths. The man in front of him was much more mature than three years ago. He looked serious and serious. After being tempered by society, he got rid of the bad habits of self-righteousness.

"What can my opinion mean? Even if I don't agree with you being together, you are still sweet now. Why should Mr. Duval care about my thoughts?"

If according to before, Armand would have been full of anger, but now he said calmly, "Marguerite cares about your thoughts, as long as she cares, then I have to consider Mr. Goetti's feelings. She wants to get the love of her relatives." Blessings, and you are her only family."

"Any indication from the family of Miss Duval's betrothed?"

Jiqiu asked softly. She thought of Mr. Tax Officer, who had been accosting her from time to time recently. It seemed that the rigid old gentleman had loosened up a bit. For a moment, she felt that she was the only one who opposed the marriage.

"I should thank you for your contribution to France." Armand's face was sincere, but the words he said were a bit embarrassing, "Count Goetti."

Jiqiu immediately understood, "Because I was knighted by His Majesty the King, Miss Duval was not divorced like the rumors said?"

"Yes, you are the most trusted person of His Majesty now, and those who want to build a relationship can go around the Palace of Versailles several times." Armand said, he said against the murderous gaze of the young man.

"Congratulations."

Jiqiu stood up and was about to leave the study. Before she left, she looked back at Armand, who was downcast, "Mr. Duval, I hope you can treat my sister well."

Before the man could react, she strode out of the study.

Margaret had already returned home. She knew from Mrs. Louise that Armand was talking to Adrian, and she had been fidgeting all the time. She was happy that her sister was coming home to reunite with her, but also worried that there would be another outbreak at home. war.

Seeing Jiqiu coming out of the study, she quickly stood up, "Adrian!"

"You're back." Jiqiu stepped forward and hugged Margaret, and then got a few pops on her cheeks.

"Working for His Majesty must be very hard." Margaret said, rubbing the young man's head with her hand. On the one hand, she was selfishly grateful to the king for taking Adrian so seriously.

So much so that she also benefited, and on the other hand, she was worried about Adrian's situation. Since she was a child in the society, she has long understood that there are no impenetrable walls in the world, and secrets will always be exposed one day.

"Have you ever thought that as a free nobleman, His Majesty has given enough, and there is no need to continue to work for him." She whispered into Jiqiu's ear.

Jiqiu let go of Margaret, took her by the hand and sat on the sofa, "My original intention of becoming a doctor was never for fame and fortune. From the beginning to the end, I wanted to contribute to the history of human medicine. pursuit.

Even if the matter is revealed, I will not regret it. I only hope that by that time, you must find ways to separate yourself from me and avoid implicating yourself. "

"Oh, Adrian! What you said made me sad. I am your sister and relative. How can this relationship be given up as easily as you said, so I will become a heartless thing. I'm afraid I don't even want to live anymore!"

Margaret retorted loudly, she rejected the proposal, and said seriously, "I believe His Majesty is a normal man, he will be impressed by your charm, as long as you are willing to say a few soft words, he will definitely will forgive your sins."

"The power of France is firmly in the hands of the king. No matter how much those bishops and ministers oppose you, if His Majesty is willing to protect you, you will definitely survive."

Margaret seemed to have seen the development of the matter, and she persuaded Jiqiu, "You only live once, even if those believers say that you go to heaven or go to hell, it doesn't matter anymore.

I know well these pompous gentlemen who temporarily lose their minds when they are entertained, if only you take the chance. "

Jiqiu pressed Margaret's chattering red lips, "These things are too far away. I believe His Majesty is a kind and righteous person. As long as I am willing to explain the truth, he will definitely understand my difficulties."

She held Marguerite's hands tightly. "My dear sister, nothing can be more important than your life. I just had a friendly conversation with Mr. Duval, and he behaved sincerely, unlike before. So impulsive and frivolous.

Therefore, I am willing to give him a chance to spend the rest of his life with you. If he fails you one day, please take back the heart that was placed on him, or I will teach him a lesson that will never be forgotten. "

"Adrian." Margaret felt the temperature on her hand, tears in her eyes, "I don't know how to express my feelings for you, if possible, I hope you can hold your hand at the engagement ceremony I will take the flower path."

"Of course, I will hand you over to your lover." Jiqiu sighed, took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the tears from her eyelids, "You must be happy, Margaret."

"Most definitely."

Armand stood at the stairs, looking at the "siblings" embracing each other in the living room, he suppressed the sour bubbles in his heart, "Anyway, I will marry Marguerite in a few days. Still don't touch Goetti's bottom line. '

On this day, the three of them finally had a meal together at a table, during which Margaret happily talked to Jiqiu and shared her latest novel.

Jiqiu also told a few interesting things he encountered in the palace that did not involve politics.

Overall, the meal was fairly homely.
