Dear father:
I am pregnant and, as you wish, not Peter''s child. Although I know that damn guy was arranged by you, I never resented you. I know what you think. The kodor family should not have humble descendants in this world, but it''s a pity that you have done some and missed some. As I said at the beginning of the letter, I was pregnant.
His body flows the blood of the great kodor family, but also the blood of the humble guart. In your words, he should be a hybrid. You can control my life and my husband, but you can''t control me and my soul.
My soul is pure, I always believe this, which is what you and others envy.
I am not writing this letter to prove that I am purer than you, but to tell you that your daughter Vivian has finally embarked on the road you want to arrange for me.
I heard that in the eastern part of the Empire, some women stood up. They called themselves "fighters for women''s power". People called them feminists. Those hypocritical villains of the new party also expressed positive views on this. I may not be a great politician, but I can become an outstanding female representative of the times. I am going to launch a feminist movement here in the tener region, in the kanles region, in response to the voice from the core of the Empire.
I''m just informing you that I don''t have the idea of asking your consent. I understand that the feelings of politicians like you for their children are far less important than your status and power.
Of course, as your daughter, I hope you can bless me and my career.
It took me half a lifetime to understand. If you don''t argue, people won''t think you are modest. They will only think you are cowardly and incompetent.
May you live long enough.
May your illegitimate children continue to harass you.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
Love your daughter.
Vivian.
The housekeeper put down the letter paper in his hand and stood obediently aside. The content of this letter is a little too much. It is a bottle of poison to the governor''s cabinet, which is almost paralyzed. The doctor said that the last thing the governor should do at present is to be angry, which will affect the change of blood pressure in his body and may aggravate his condition. There is nothing good in Miss Vivian''s letter. It''s all angry.
Just as the housekeeper waited for the governor to vent his anger with dirty words instead of his body movements, the governor actually laughed?!
Is this a sneer mixed with hatred and anger after extreme anger?
Or is he really laughing?
The housekeeper glanced up quietly. At one glance, he saw the governor''s loose skin, ruddy blood without congestion, and his eyes flashing with some kind of wisdom and real smile.
He''s really laughing!
The governor tilted his head, "let me stay alone!"
The housekeeper immediately withdrew and stood at the door. When he said, "I''ll knock at the door and come in in five minutes."
This is what the doctor and the governor himself asked. In any case, he can''t be out of sight for more than five minutes. The governor still loves his paralyzed life, and he doesn''t want to embrace God.
After the door was closed, the governor was alone in the whole room. He couldn''t help laughing. In recent years, he has rarely seen him laugh so freely, almost close to wanton laughter.
Every family hopes to have a boy to become the successor of career and blood. After having a boy, they hope to have a girl. Vivian came to the world with such expectation. She is the governor''s favorite daughter, and those illegitimate children can''t compare with her at all. Even if the governor wanted her to marry a famous nobleman, at last, at her insistence, he agreed to her request and let her marry Peter.
It can be seen how much the governor dotes on Vivian. He even abandons marriage, which has a certain weight in politics, just to make Vivian happy.
Although he did things that made her unhappy, such as breaking Peter''s egg and asking the doctor to cut off the most important tube in his reproductive system. In fact, he did this to protect Vivian, not what Vivian thought. He was to avoid having a descendant of humble descent. Yes, with the wisdom of the old man, how can we not see Peter''s purpose of approaching Vivian?
So he used this method to "protect" Vivian. He believed that one day Vivian would understand, and that day did come.
The governor doesn''t care much about where Vivian''s "half blood bastard" comes from. The higher the status, the higher the level of things he contacts, and the more he can understand that the war between the old and new parties has actually appeared an omen of the end. The old party maintained the "purity" of the core circle. In short, if it were not for the old aristocrats of the Empire, it would never be able to enter the core circle and become the senior and core figures of the old party.
This alone has limited the future development of the old party. In contrast, the new party, the new aristocrats of the Empire, do secretly implement the concept of "non elite and not high-level", but the scope for them to choose is too large. No matter what the origin, no matter what the past, as long as they are now recognized as elites, they will have the opportunity to enter the top level of the new party and the real core.
Conservative should keep the tradition, not this stereotyped prejudice.
The reason why the old party''s momentum can still go hand in hand with the new party is not because the old party is so powerful. They are just eating old money. The capital accumulated for hundreds of years is slowly consumed by them. One day they will eat up their old capital. At that time, the new party will have an overall advantage.
Therefore, the governor knows very well that the world eventually belongs to the new party. It belongs to the new party that does not care about origin or composition and only absorbs elites, not to the old party.
However, he knew that such a thing would happen, but he could not change his position because he could not do it in time.
However, he hopes that some of his next generation will stand up and become a different person. It can be said that this is putting eggs in the second basket, or speculation in the future and the new party.
He noticed that Vivian mentioned the feminist movement in her letter, and had to say that kanles was really too remote. She didn''t even notice who the initiators and participants of the feminist movement were.
Yes, she didn''t notice.
The initiator of the feminist movement is the direct granddaughter of one of the five giants of the old party. Among the participants, there are many women from noble families. We should know that women from ordinary families are either busy working to earn money to support their families or busy spending their lives among their children. How many ordinary women have time, money and appeal to do such obvious thankless things?
No,
To put it simply, the women''s rights movement itself is the initial marriage between the enlightened people of the old party and the new party. Everyone is trying to find a new way out, so these women stand on the wave of the times!
The governor is very happy that the kodor family finally has an understanding person, although perhaps her "understanding" is out of anger at the past life, anger at the present encounter, and anger at the unclear future. But at least, she''s right!
The knock on the door woke the governor from his meditation. He said "come in". The housekeeper opened the door, stood by the door and closed the door gently.
"Take out the writing paper and pen. I want to write a letter to Peter."
The housekeeper immediately removed the letter paper from the cabinet, bent over the desk and quickly recorded what the governor said. Finally, he read out the contents of the letter and let the governor read it again before putting it in the envelope, dropping sealing wax and sealing it.
Later, the letter was handed over to the person in charge of external liaison in the manor. Then, with the help of a driver, it crossed the two cities. At noon the next day, it was sent to tenar and appeared in Peter''s hand.
Peter looked solemnly at the seal on the wax, then cut off one end of the envelope and took out the letter paper.
His father-in-law, the governor, seldom took the initiative to contact him. In fact, he knew it was because his father-in-law didn''t see him. The last time he could take the initiative to write a letter like this was when he was elected mayor of tenell, so he didn''t know what was said in the letter or what he would encounter next. He hated the feeling of being teased by fate.
He spread out the letter paper with a faint fragrance and a gilded edge. The next second he overturned the table in front of him. Scented tea, cakes, some spices and spices made a mess of his expensive carpet. The muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably, and his heart was particularly angry!
"Didn''t you say that no one had contact with his wife? So how do you explain this letter?", Peter grabbed the letter paper and smashed it at the housekeeper standing aside. The paper hit the housekeeper''s face with a slap, and then fell to the ground and bounced.
The housekeeper silently bent down, picked up the stationery and rubbed it open. The first sentence was "Congratulations, you''re going to be a father"!
There is no doubt that Mrs. Vivian''s pregnancy has been known by the governor. How to end the matter next has nothing to do with Peter. He lost control of it.
This is also the most intolerable thing for him.
