It was raining lightly outside, Mr. Grandet's whole body was a little wet when he came home, but he still found something wrong the moment he stepped on the threshold. He is a very controlling person over his family. He remembered every tiny corner clearly, so when he entered the room, he found the crooked tablecloth, which was definitely not made by him, Madame Grandet or Nanon.

"Where is Eugenie, where is Charles! Nanon, go and see them!" said Monsieur Grandet, supporting Madame Grandet.

"Of course they are sleeping, it's so late." Nanon said, but she ran upstairs quickly. She thought Charles and Eugenie should stay in the room obediently, but she found that their room was empty. There was no one there, and there was chaos everywhere, the cabinets were turned upside down, and the clothes were thrown all over the floor.Nanon yelled: "Master and Madam, the house has been burglarized, Miss and Master Charles are gone!"

"What?" Mrs. Grandet, who had just woken up, was almost fainted again. She grabbed Mr. Grandet's clothes and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, good sir, go and see, look at my ou Yeni is at home or not, you call her!"

"Eugénie, Eugenie!" Monsieur Grandet yelled loudly and ran upstairs, but there was no response from the house. He ran to Eugenie's room, and saw being thrown everywhere. Yes, the thing trembled all over, and then he saw that the small cabinet that Eugenie had been locking was open. He hurried over to look through it, and found that Eugenie's purse for storing gold coins was no longer there. The jewelry box containing a few pieces of jewelry was also missing.

Mr. Grandet suddenly had a very bad premonition. He broke out in a cold sweat and hurried to his room. Sure enough, he found that the iron lock on the cabinet where he kept the gold coins had been split, and all the gold coins inside were gone. .

"Oh, damn it, damn it!" Only he, Madame Grandet and Eugenie knew that Mr. Grandet had part of the gold coins in the locker in his room, and even Sidney didn't know about it. , if Eugenie had not said it, no one would have known it at all.

Thinking of this matter, Mr. Grandet hurriedly ran to the basement, he was relieved to see that the iron chain on the small door of the basement was still intact, but soon he thought of the thousand gold coins he had lost, and he was very angry. Jumping up and down, he shook his hands vigorously and yelled, "Damn it, I raised a white-eyed wolf, a white-eyed wolf!"

"Master, sir, there is a letter in Master Charles' room." Nanon ran over with a piece of paper.

"Letter, what letter!" Mr. Grandet snatched the letter back. He took a quick look at it, and the contents of the letter almost made him out of breath. He clutched his chest and limply fell to the ground. .

Madame Grandet ran over at this moment, and she saw Mr. Grandet's pale face and asked in a weak voice: "Sir, where is my Eugenie? Where has she gone?"

"Where did she go, where did she go!" Monsieur Grandet yelled at Madame Grandet madly, he threw his credit on Madame Grandet, and he yelled at her Losing his temper, he shouted: "I said long ago that Charles Grandet was a playboy who would seduce ignorant girls, but you didn't believe it, you only thought of finding fault with Sidney, and only thought of those useless resentments. Now, now you see, because of your connivance, she ran away with that playboy, ran away, stole my thousand gold coins, ran away, ran away with a possible killer. Our family The reputation of the son has not come, we are destined to spend the rest of our lives under the ridicule of others, you are satisfied, satisfied!"

As soon as Mr. Grandet finished yelling, the police officer rushed in with people. They ran around the house, and after finding that Charles was not in the room, Mr. Renault walked up to Mr. Grandet and asked, "Grantet?" Mr. Tai, what about your nephew, you know whether he is the murderer or not, we have to take him away for questioning."

"Look at that letter, he's gone, the bastard who is going to hell." Mr. Grandet pointed to the piece of paper on the ground and said.

Mr. Renault immediately picked up the piece of paper, he glanced at it, and said in disbelief: "This is really a coincidence, are you sure he ran away because of elopement?"

"Coincidence?! They stole my money, stole my money, stole my daughter, this bastard, I took care of him, helped him with his debts, and he stole my daughter and my money !" Mr. Grandet said, covering his face.

The police officer found nothing, and finally had to take the person away.

Madame Grandet's tears kept falling, she opened her mouth like a fish deprived of oxygen, and there was a slight panting sound in her throat. Finally, she lost all strength and sat on the edge of the door frame. Her eyes were fixed on the window where she and Eugenie sat most often, but her daughter would no longer be on that stool.

Mr. Grandet was still yelling, but Mrs. Grandet remained motionless in such a daze, which frightened Nanon. She couldn't read and couldn't understand the contents of the letter. Mr. Grandet's crazy yelling let her know that Eugenie had eloped with Charles, which made her very sad and angry.

For a quarter of an hour Nanon stood in the middle of the main room and looked at Mr. Grandet and Madame Grandet at a loss. In recent years, there were two daughters of two families who were kidnapped and eloped in Saumur. Nanon knew the identity of those two families. In the end, they changed from a respected and good family to a low-level family that was disdained by others. People no longer want to have more contact with them. They all think that the family that can hand over an elope daughter must have character problems. .

Nanon was finally awakened by Madame Grandet's violent coughing, and then she saw Mr. Grandet squatting on the ground and pressing Madame Grandet desperately, while Madame Grandet was lying curled up on her side. On the floor by the door, her body was twitching non-stop, rolling her eyes, and foaming from her mouth, she looked terribly frightening.

"Nanon, Nanon, hurry up and hold my wife down!" Mr. Grandet shouted, after Nanon ran over to hold down Mrs. Grandet's body, he quickly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and stuffed it into Grandet Mrs. Tai's mouth to prevent her from biting off her own tongue.

"She is having a fit, my poor lady," cried Nanon.

Madame Grandet twitched for several minutes before she stopped, and when she was quiet, Monsieur Grandet and Nanon carried her upstairs to the bed.

"Nanon, you go to the Duke's mansion to get Sidney back, remember not to let others know the reason. Then, then you go to the doctor, your wife has to see the doctor. "Mr. Grandet covered his forehead and said pantingly. The repeated blows tonight had exhausted his mind and body. At this moment, he really thanked God for allowing him to have a son, otherwise he would not know how he would survive today. thing.

"Okay, master, I'll go and get the young master back now, master, can you help the lady change her clothes first, her chest is wet. You should change your clothes yourself, or you will catch cold." Take Lennon wiped away tears and said.

"Go, go." Mr. Grandet waved his hands weakly and said.

Even though it was almost morning, the sky outside was still dark because of the rain. Nanon held an umbrella in one hand and a skirt in the other and ran at the fastest speed in the small alleys of Saumur City, holding back while running. Listening to her own crying, she didn't wipe away her tears until she ran to the front of the Duke's mansion.

"Hey, who are you and what are you doing here?" A patrolling footman spotted him and asked.

"I'm the maid of Grandet's family. There are some matters at home. The master asked me to come and find our young master. He boarded here last night." Nanon said hastily.

"Oh, then come with me, and I'll notify the butler." The servant waved to Nanon, asking you to follow him into the back kitchen of the Duke's mansion, and then he sent someone to find Butler Charlie.

"You are the maid of Grandet's house? What's your name?" Butler Charlie said after scanning Nanon up and down. After what happened last night, he is now a hundred times more cautious about everything than before. .

"My name is Nanon, please do your best to find our young master, I really have something urgent." Nanon said.

"Okay, wait a minute." Butler Charlie said, and then sent someone to call Yang Yi.

In fact, Yang Yi had already woken up, and was about to go downstairs to go back to Grandet's house after having breakfast. He didn't expect Nanon to find him so early. He felt that he might have overestimated the burden of Mr. Grandet and Mrs. Grandet. If you are capable, if it is just a scene of sadness and anger, Nanon will not come here before dawn.

"Nanon, what's the matter?" Yang Yi ran to the kitchen and asked.

"Something happened, the master asked me to call you back, we have to go back quickly." Nanon said.

"Okay, let's go now." Yang Yi said, turning around and asking Charlie the housekeeper, "Can I get some food?"

"Of course." Butler Charlie nodded, and asked someone to bring out a plate of snacks. "His Royal Highness asked us to take you back. I have already sent someone to prepare the carriage. Please wait a moment."

"Thank you, Charlie. Is the Duke awake yet?" Yang Yi casually took a few pieces of snacks from the plate, and stuffed some pieces for Nanon.

"Yes, His Royal Highness is awake."

"Please thank him for me."

"Okay, I will convey it for you. It seems that the carriage is ready, please follow me." Charlie said the housekeeper.

After the carriage got out of the range of the duke's mansion, Yang Yicai pretended to be ignorant and asked Nanon who was sitting opposite him: "Is there something important at home?"

"Yes, something serious happened. A customer died in old Socco's shop. He insisted that Master Charles killed him. Then we went back and found that Master Charles and Mademoiselle Eugenie had eloped. They They took away the luggage and the master's money. Later, the police officers came with people. They rummaged through the house and read the letters they left before leaving. The master is very angry now. Ma'am, she is sick. , I have to go to the doctor," Nanon said.

"I knew that all the policemen in this world would be one step late. They should act when they hear someone say that Charles is a murderer." Yang Yi said.

"Master, what will happen to the lady, will she be in any danger?" Nanon asked.

"Not at the moment, when they still have money." Yang Yi said, everything Shire does is for money, and now they have more than 1000 gold coins, which is enough for them to live comfortably for several months. Of course, the premise is that they are not caught by Duke Louis's people, but it is a bit difficult to catch people in this kind of horrible weather.

The carriage soon arrived at Grandet's house. Yang Yi asked the coachman to take Nanon to the doctor, while he himself went to find Monsieur Grandet. Same sad.

Yang Yi brought a plate of bread from the kitchen and went upstairs. Mr. Grandet was accompanying Mrs. Grandet's bedside. Mrs. Grandet was still unconscious, and Mr. Grandet was in a daze with red and swollen eyes. He cried in Nanon's absence.

"Dad, eat something, it will make you feel better." Yang Yi said as he put the plate on the bedside table.

"Eugenie, I gave her everything within my responsibilities, and I taught her carefully. Before you showed up, I tried my best to plan for her, but she left. Man, stole my money and left. Sidney, I feel like a stone is pressing on my chest, it is going to crush my heart." Mr. Grandet said, clutching his chest.

"Father, we will get her back, we will definitely get her back, and those gold coins will also be found," Yang Yi said.

"So what if I find it back, she's gone, she won't come into my heart again." Mr. Grandet said, and then he picked up the bread and ate it rudely, as if eating his own anger and anger. Like heartache.
