Charles Grandet might be a murderer. He even abducted Eugenie to elope with him, and Eugenie also assisted Charles in stealing a cabinet of gold coins from Mr. Grandet. The good reputation that has been worked hard for decades has been knocked into the dust.

Fortunately, due to the intervention of Duke Louis, the Renault prosecutor finally announced that Charles was not the murderer, which at least saved the face of the Grandet family, but the elopement alone could no longer wash away the stain on the Grandet family. up.

Mr. Grandet is now frowning all day long, even his favorite gold coin can't make him feel better, he will even sit in the main room drinking alone in the middle of the night, although as a wine merchant he doesn't It's so easy to get drunk, but it's enough to see how sad he is.

Madame Grandet and Nanon shed tears every day. While Madame Grandet was almost overwhelmed by feelings of self-blame and guilt, she also worried about the situation of Eugenie and Mr. Grandet's physical condition. These pains quickly destroyed her health.She has never been sick since she married Mr. Grandet, but this time she could no longer get up from the bed. She lost weight rapidly, and her face was never rosy again. The only time when she looked bright was when she asked Yang Yi for news about Eugenie.But those looks always stayed on her face for less than a minute, because every time Yang Yi couldn't give her the answer she wanted.

That day Mrs. Grandet called Yang Yi to her bed suddenly, and she said to Yang Yi: "Sidney, my health is about to fail, and maybe I will never see my Eugenie until I die. Can you promise me that if you find her, please take her back and take good care of her, she is your sister, you took everything from her, you should take care of her."

Yang Yi felt that Mrs. Grandet was really not good at socializing at all, which didn't seem like a begging attitude at all, but he still said: "If the police find her, I will ask someone to bring her back, for Ge Langtai's sake. The reputation of Langtai's family. I won't take more than what my father left her, because she is my sister. I will also send someone to take care of her, and Nanon can leave it to her. "

Mrs. Grandet thought that Yang Yi had agreed to her request, so she closed her eyes quietly and rested.Yang Yi shrugged and walked out. He actually didn't promise Mrs. Grandet anything.After Eugenie was found, she came back to accept Mr. Grandet's inheritance. After Yang Yi left Saumur, Nanon stayed to take care of Eugenie. This should be the case, and Yang Yi didn't have to spend any thought on it.

"Master, I've already prepared lunch, come and eat." Nanon shouted from the kitchen door.

Yang Yi looked in the main room, then stood at the window and looked at the yard, and found that there was no one there, so he asked, "Where did my father go?"

"Master, you just said to go out to relax, young master, I think he is much better, maybe in a few days after Miss is found, he will be all right." Nanon said optimistically.

"I hope so." Yang Yi sat down on the dining table and said with a sigh. In fact, he felt that Mr. Grandet was getting worse these days, and he became more silent as the days passed, although he tried his best to let himself see He looked the same as before, but the sharpness in his eyes had diminished, and he had grown dull, always seeming to be tormented by grief.

After lunch, Yang Yi went to the Duke's Mansion as usual. Now he has to go to the Duke's Mansion once a day to wait for news. This is not his wish, but in order to gain a good reputation, he has to pretend to be a good brother who cares about his sister and go to the Duke's Mansion once a day. .

"Sidney, it's a coincidence that you came here. I was about to play chess. After Henry left, no one will entertain me anymore." Duke Louis sat on a large backrest sofa, his body was covered with a thick cloth The plush blanket, the whole person looks like he is sunken in the sofa.

"You know I come here at this time every day. So, about Charles and Eugenie, have you found someone?" Yang Yi sat opposite Duke Louis and said with chess pieces.

"No, I'm starting to suspect that my subordinates are all idiots, and they couldn't even catch two of them." Duke Louis scolded.

"After losing the first time, it's not easy to find two more people who want to hide, especially if they still have a little money." Yang Yi took a move and said, now the transportation and communication are a little bit more complicated. In this inconvenient era, if someone really wants to hide, as long as he is not too stupid, even if his search warrants are plastered all over his backside, he is unlikely to be caught.

However, Yang Yi still felt that it was amazing that they could hide for so long with Charles' IQ. On the first night, Charles and Eugenie ran away when everyone was gathered in the old Soko's hotel. He rented a carriage at the post station and fled overnight to a small town next door. They had just entered a hotel when Duke Louis' men chased him.Just when Duke Louis' men were about to rush into the hotel to catch the two, they saw the two get into the carriage again and leave.Because it was raining heavily and it was night, these people chased after them without seeing their faces clearly, but when they stopped the carriage, they found that there were only a pair of Charles and Eugenie sitting inside. strange men and women.

When those men returned to the hotel to find someone, the hotel owner told them that Charles and Eugenie rented three carriages and went in different directions. As for which carriage they were in, the owner did not know. .Although those people later separated to pursue them, there was no news of Charles and Eugenie after that.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if I can't catch it. Anyway, there will be no less than one of my enemies. If my sister didn't insist on tracking down, I don't want to care about these two people's affairs. Let them try to elope. The painful taste." Duke Louis said.

"Did Countess Marion send you a letter asking you to go back to Paris?" Yang Yi asked.

"Of course, she has already sent more than a dozen letters and sent several doctors here, hoping that I will recover soon and go back to Paris. But I think Saumur is a good place to recuperate, because if I go back to Paris , I don’t have you playing chess and chatting with me.” Duke Louis said, in fact, his body has recovered a long time ago, and the reason why he has been pretending to be sick is just to let those who want to harm him feel that their scheme has succeeded, so they can relax. Just found a flaw.

Of course, at the same time, it was also in order not to go back to Paris. As long as he still had health problems, Countess Marion could not force him to leave Saumur.Countess Marion thought that Saumur was more dangerous than Paris, so she insisted on letting Duke Louis go back, but Duke Louis thought that Saumur was safer and quieter than Paris, and there was a young man in Saumur who made him feel interesting. Yat.

Countess Marion, who came from Paris because she was worried about her younger brother's health, happened to hear what Duke Louis said when she entered the room. When she saw Yang Yi's face, she immediately thought that Yang Yi was Duke Louis' new favorite man. This made Countess Marion, who had always wanted her brother back on the right track, to be anxious. She walked up to Duke Louis aggressively and said, "If you just want to find someone to play chess and chat with, I believe there are many in Paris." The ladies are willing to do it, Louis."

"Oh, dear sister, why are you here?" Duke Louis frowned in annoyance. This point of blood can always make Duke Louis compromise on this, because they are the only two of them who have Anjou blood in this world.

"If I knew that you stayed in Saumer City not because of your health, but to find someone to play chess and chat with, I think I should have come long ago." Countess Marion said, while giving Yang Yi a very unkind look, It's like all of this is Yang Yi's fault.

Yang Yi immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness, I still have something to do, so I will take my leave first."

Duke Louis nodded, and after Yang Yi left, he said to Countess Marion, "Does my sister want to stay with me in Saumur to relieve boredom?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can I stay in this kind of place? I think you look good. You should have no problem returning to Paris. Your birthday is coming. You should hold a grand banquet and be healthy Appear in front of those who only spread false rumors, and tell some people that their plans will not come true." Countess Marion said sharply.

Duke Louis has given up all hope for Countess Marion's mind. Those people are thinking of finding someone to poison him. It can be seen that they can't wait to kill him. Now they hear that he is so ill that he has to go back to London They couldn't do it anymore, they must have thought that he was going to die, so they wouldn't do anything to him.But if he returned to Paris in good health, it would be equivalent to being a target for those people.

So Duke Louis said: "Dear sister, you see that I look good because I don't have poisonous hair now, and every night the poison will flare up, which will make me very painful, otherwise you really think I will be happy to stay Such a boring place?"

"What? Charlie sent a letter saying that your poison has been cured! He also said that you just need to recuperate now!" Countess Marion said with wide eyes.

"I just want you to rest assured, dear sister."

"But didn't I invite some doctors here for you? They are all the best doctors in London. Couldn't they cure your poison?" Countess Marion said suspiciously.

"I didn't ask them to see a doctor for me at all." Duke Louis said, playing with the chess pieces in his hand.

"Why, if you don't let them see a doctor for you, how can your body get better?"

"Can you be sure that those doctors are innocent? If they were sent by those people to inquire about my physical condition, if my condition is known, what do you think will happen?" Duke Louis guided Countess Marion said.

"They'll make you die as fast as possible."

"Yes, they'll give me some more poison, and then..."

"Then take your title away! No! I will never allow this to happen. Louis, you are the only man in our family, and you must get better as soon as possible." Countess Marion said.
