[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

chapter115

The Count of Monte Cristo again.

Plum Tess wasn't too surprised.

These days, she has heard a lot about him.

The first thing is that when the Count of Monte Cristo went to visit Baroness Danglars and his wife, he "accidentally" found that the pair of gray horses with beautiful spots on their fur bought by his housekeeper Bertuccio at twice the price were the original owners. It was Madame Danglars.

Immediately after the count left, the couple had a quarrel.Hermine was very angry because Danglars sold her horse privately, and Danglars was furious because he lost face in front of outsiders.But two hours later, Hermine received a letter from the count, stating that he would not want to offend a lovely lady when he first entered the society of Paris.Hermione walked out of the gate in disbelief, and she found that the two horses had been sent back intact, harnessed to her carriage, and each horse wore a rosette in the center of its head, inlaid A beautiful diamond.

Danglars did not resent the count for this, because he also received a letter, but the specific content of the letter is unknown, because he did not show it off like his wife did.

And the second thing was even more coincidental. On that afternoon, Madame de Villefort happened to borrow Danglars' carriage.However, when the carriage drove to the Count of Monte Cristo's mansion on the Champs-Elysees Avenue, it suddenly ran wildly.Fortunately, Ali, the earl's black slave, caught the two horses in time and rescued Madame de Villefort and her son.The child fainted due to excessive fright, but fortunately the earl revived him with a special potion he prepared.

These two events made the Count of Monte Cristo a star in the social circle of Paris, and the two noble ladies praised him non-stop on different occasions until they exhausted their rich words.

This is where Mei Tess has to admire him.It is not so easy to get close to the scheming Danglars and the deep-minded Villefort, but it is much easier to use their wives as a breakthrough.

But she needs to remind him that he shouldn't be so high-profile.

The reason why she did not make a move to buy Villa Auteuil was precisely because Villefort would definitely investigate the buyer with his sensitivity.Any false identity requires painstaking efforts. Although she came to Paris earlier than the Count of Monte Cristo, there is no guarantee that there are no omissions.

For some reason, the Count of Monte Cristo gave her the feeling that it didn't seem like he was trying to sabotage the Duke of Buckingham's deployment secretly, but rather that he wanted to show a sword of revenge brightly.

"My lord, where are we going now?"

Baptistin's words interrupted Mei Tess's thoughts.She came back to her senses and looked at the dark sky outside the window, "It's getting late, let's go back first."

The mansion that Meiser Tess bought is located in Rue Saint-Honor, another wealthy residential area in Paris, where various mansions and mansions compete with each other for their elegant design and gorgeous architecture.

At this time, the lights in the study room were still on, and it was obvious that Haiidee hadn't finished her study for the day.Mei Tess didn't bother her, but went straight back to her room.She found an inconspicuous outfit from the closet and put it on, and then came alone to the beautiful house of the Count of Monte Cristo at No. 30 Champs-Elysées Avenue.

Plum Tess did not go through the main entrance, because she did not want to disturb the porter, but entered through the side door.In fact, she chose this house for the earl according to his preferences, so she also left a key for herself.

After briskly unlocking the door, she went in and went up the servants' staircase into the count's drawing room.

The curtains were drawn so tightly that no light could come in, so that the room was completely dark.Mei Tess originally thought that the Earl hadn't come back yet, so she planned to wait for him in the living room.But just when she was about to look for the tinder box, a deep voice sounded in her ear, "Do you have to come to see me like this?"

Mei Tess was taken aback, but she quickly recognized that it was the earl's voice, so she reminded with some dissatisfaction, "Don't forget, our identities are enemies now."

"But we haven't seen each other for a long time," said the count, lighting a candle with a phosphorous sulphide match.At this time, safety matches have not yet been produced, so special care must be taken when using this kind of matches, because there is a possibility of spontaneous combustion at any time.

"We only met at the auction," Mei Tess said suspiciously.

"At that time, I saw Lord Weimar. But now, what I see is Mel." The Earl Shi Shiran looked into her eyes, with a stern and charming smile on his lips.Only then did Plum Tess notice that there were two neat tea trays on the table.

He knew she was coming.

Plum Tess opened her mouth, but the words seemed to have been stolen.He was right, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and she couldn't wait to see him just as much.

There was a serious beauty in the Count's face, the only defect of that beauty, or rather its chief characteristic, was its pallor.There are a few wrinkles on his forehead, indicating that he is thinking about a painful thing all the time; he has a pair of piercing eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts; Imprint his words on the hearts of those who hear them.What I have to admit is that during the few years they have been apart, he has completely become the noble earl he wanted to be.

"But you're right, it's really inconvenient for us to meet now," the earl said to himself, "Why don't we find a hotel and rent a suite in secret."

"No..." Mei Tess blurted out the words of rejection almost subconsciously.

"Are you worried that it will make us look like secret lovers?" the earl said with a smirk. "Actually, it doesn't matter as long as you don't mind, because I don't mind."

Of course, Mei Tess knew that in France at this time, many high-society people rented a suite in a hotel for a tryst with their lover.Although people in this era are used to this kind of phenomenon, she still can't help feeling a little disgusted.So she said, somewhat annoyed, "I'm not here to joke with you."

The count stood up, hesitating to speak, his eyes flashed with some kind of secret emotion, as if there were waves in the blue eyes.

The author has something to say: Thank you Big Z for the bazooka, it’s a waste of money, okay~

Thank you Yanjian, Tianyuliufang, Xuhai, ie, Xixia, Meizi, and Gana for their nutrient solution, okay~

...

I was dumbfounded. I clicked on it just now and wondered why I didn’t leave a message for several hours. It turned out that this chapter was stored in my draft box and was not published...
