Lv Xian was in trouble. The lady looked inquiringly at Lv Xian and said that Mr. Danglars left last night.
Gone. M. Danglars is gone. Where has he gone?
I don’t know
What do you mean, you don’t know, so he won’t come back once he leaves?
I think so. At ten o’clock last night, he arrived at the gate of Kalanden by carriage, and a post car was waiting for him. He got into the car with his valet and told his coachman that he was going to Fontainebleau.
So what did you just say?
Wait a minute. He left me a letter.
a letter
You read it, right? So the baroness took a letter from her pocket and gave it to Debray.
Debray then read the letter and pondered for a while, as if guessing the letter and thinking about it. No matter what the letter was, he wanted to think about what to do first. After a few minutes, he suspected that he had made up his mind. The letter that the baroness was upset was like this
My loyal wife
Debray shut up and looked at the baroness without thinking. The baroness was so ashamed that her eyes were red. Read it, she said. Debray continued to read it.
By the time you get this letter, you have lost your husband.
You don’t have to panic. You lost him like you lost your daughter. I mean, I’m on the 30 th or 40 th road from France. I should explain to you that you are a woman who can completely understand this explanation. I’ll tell you now to listen carefully. Today, someone came to me to withdraw 5 million yuan, which was paid, and then another person came to me to withdraw the same amount of money. I just left here every day to escape. It’s too hard every day. Can you solve it, madam? I said that you can solve it because you are like me to my money. You know me better because I don’t know where a considerable part of my once considerable property has gone, but you don’t, madam. I’m sure you know it clearly, because women are born in case of disability, and they can generate algebraic formulas to explain incredible things, but I know my own figures. If these figures deceive me one day, I won’t know anything. Are you surprised that I failed so quickly? Did my gold bars suddenly melt and burn? Did you ever feel a little confused? Admit that I have seen a fire, and I hope you can find some gold from the ashes. I left you with this comforting thought. I am cautious, madam. Although I left you, my conscience has abandoned you. I feel sorry for your friend. I have been burnt to the ashes, especially because I am anxious to return it to you. Because of this lady, I have to write a few more explanations. I closed my eyes philosophically before, but you turned that family into ruins. I don’t want to be a stepping stone for another person to get rich. When I want to marry you, you are rich but not respected. Forgive me for being frank.
I have increased our property for fifteen years, and it has been increasing continuously until an unexpected disaster falls from the sky. Frankly speaking, I am not at fault for this disaster. Your wife, you have sought to increase your property. You have succeeded. When I left you, I still left you in the situation when I married you, but the money was not respected. Farewell, from today on, I am also prepared to work hard for myself, and I will follow this example.
Your loyal husband, Baron Danglars.
When Debray read this long letter, the baroness finally looked at him. Although he tried his best to control himself, he couldn’t help changing his face once or twice. After reading the letter, he folded the letter and restored his thoughtful expression.
How is it easy for Madame Danglars to ask her anxiously?
How’s Madame Debray mechanically asking?
What do you think of this letter?
Oh, it’s very simple, madam. I think Mr. Danglars was suspicious when he left
Sure, but is that all you want to say?
I don’t know what you mean, Debray said coldly.
He’s gone. He’s gone and he’s never coming back.
Oh, ma’ am, don’t think like that
I tell you that he will never come back. I know that his personality will not change if he is altruistic to himself. If I return it to him, he will take me with him. He left me in Paris because he left me for his own sake. I will be left alone forever.
Madame danglars prayed for expression and finally said
Debray did not answer. She was still in that anxious questioning attitude.
What, she finally said you didn’t answer me?
I want to ask you a question. What are you going to do?
I want to ask you what I should do, said the baroness nervously
Well then you hope to get advice from me
Yes, I do hope you will give me advice, said Madame Danglars eagerly.
Then if you want me to give you advice, the young man said coldly, I will advise you to travel.
Go on a trip, she said in surprise
Of course, Mr. Luo Teng Graer said that you are rich, and in my opinion, the engagement of Miss Danglars broke down for the second time. It is necessary for Mr. Danglars to disappear from Paris after this double misfortune. You must believe that you are abandoned and poor. It is a law for a bankrupt wife to maintain a luxurious appearance. I believe you must stay in Paris for two weeks to let the outside world know that you have been abandoned. Tell your friends about this abandonment, and they will soon spread the news, and then you can leave, leave your jewelry and give up your law. Everyone will praise you for being clean. They know that you have been abandoned, and you will be poor, because I know your real financial situation alone, and I am willing to give you my accounts as your loyal partner.
The baroness turned pale and motionless, staring at her fear when she heard this. The indifference and calmness when Debray spoke was in stark contrast. Abandon her and repeat Debray’s words, Yes, I have indeed been abandoned. You are right. No one can doubt my situation. This fallen proud woman replied to Debray.
But you pay back the money very much. Chandlebray took some papers from his wallet and spread them on the table. Mrs. Teng Ralph didn’t look at him. She tried her best to suppress her heartbeat, so she was about to burst into tears.
In the end, Zunxin won, that is, she never stopped controlling her, and she was less excited, and she didn’t let the tears fall.
Madame Debray said that since we came together for six months, you have earned 100,000 francs. Our partnership was in April and May, and we made a profit of 456 francs in one month. In June, the profit reached 907,000 francs. You know, we lost 300,000 francs at the beginning of the month when we made Spanish bonds, but we earned it back on the 13th. Now we have earned a total of 2.4 million francs in our account. That is to say, every one of us has 1.2 million francs now. Madam Debray once said like a stock broker that the other 10,000 francs is the interest of this money
But the baroness said, I didn’t expect you to take money to earn interest
I’m sure Madam Debray said coldly that I did this with your permission. In addition to your 100,000 francs, you can also get 40,000 interest, which adds up to 134 francs. Well, Madam, just to be on the safe side, I brought your money from the bank the day before yesterday. You see, two days is not long, and I was suspected that your money was there, half in cash and half in tickets. I said it was because my family was not safe enough and my lawyer was not reliable enough to book a real estate contract, especially because you didn’t have interest insurance. Lucy: I put the money belonging to your department in a cash box in that closet. I locked it in for the sake of reliability. Now Mrs. Debray is hitting the closet and hitting the money box. Go on, now Mrs. Debray, this is a hundred 1,000-franc notes. You look like a bound picture book. In addition, there is a dividend of 25,000 francs and the balance is about 110,000 francs. span, this is a banker’s ticket for me. He will pay you according to the number. You can rest assured.
Mrs. Teng Ralph accepted the ticket dividend mechanically. The huge pile of money didn’t occupy much place on the table. Mrs. Teng Ralph was so emotional that she put the money in her purse and put the dividend ticket in her notes. Then she looked pale and waited silently for a word of comfort, but she waited for one.
Now Madame Debray says that you have made a considerable fortune, a sum of 10,000 francs that can benefit you every year. This sum of money is big enough for a woman who can’t stand here for a year. You can do whatever you want later, and if you find that you don’t have enough money, Madam, look over at you, but I’m willing to lend you all my department, of course.
Thank you, thank you, baroness replied. You know that the money you just paid me is too much for a poor woman who is going to retire.
Debray felt a little shocked for a moment, but soon recovered. He bowed as if to say
Suit yourself, madam.
Madame Danglars may have hoped before, but when she saw Debray’s casual expression, her eyes listening to her eyes and her meaningful silence, she held her head high without anger or trembling, but she did not hesitate to go to the door and disdained to say goodbye to him.
Well, Debray said after she left that these plans are wonderful. She can stay at home and read novels. Although she can no longer speculate in securities, she can still speculate in cards.
