Su Lun looked at everyone in the room, and everyone in Raiga also looked at him with scrutiny.
He did not express his position, but Ekaterina beside him was very well-behaved and politely saluted King Kelsen and Queen Portia on the throne: "I have met your Majesty, your Majesty the Queen."
After all, she is also Lei Jiadi's daughter-in-law.
Kelsen looked at Ekaterina, naturally not dissatisfied, with a kind smile on his face.
Regardless of appearance, family background or reputation, this fourth lady of the Lance family is worthy of their Leigadi family.
Just hearing these words, William in the corner clenched his teeth, and his heart ached so much that his expression could not help but twist.
Su Lun did not salute, and everyone in the room seemed to completely ignore him.
As the head of the family, Kelsen said a few polite words and wished them a happy wedding.
They originally thought that "Fik" was here alone, but now Ekaterina is here too, and they just want to ask you about other business matters.
After Lei Jiadi and the others chatted for a while, Mrs. Portia went directly to the topic and asked about some exchange of benefits after the marriage.
Now that the girl is married, we can talk about many things.
Because this was a political marriage, it was probably customary to negotiate terms, so she asked directly: "Katyusha, I heard that you have some shares of [Scarlet Potion]?"
No one noticed that there was a red thread that looked like a parasite surging under the skin of Portia's neck.
When Yekaterina heard this, a harmless and innocent smile immediately appeared on her pretty face, she nodded and said: "Yes. My father and mother transferred half of the family's share of the medicine to my name.
He said that it would be the financial guarantee for me and Fick’s future married life.”
This is also normal among the Luying aristocratic class. In addition to the dowry, the parents usually give the daughter a small treasury to avoid being wronged after marrying.
Everyone knew that the fourth princess of the Reims family was the favorite daughter of Bartolo Reims, the "Tulip Duke", but they never expected that the Grand Duke actually gave away half of his share of the medicine as a dowry.
!
This share is of immeasurable value in the current market!
Hearing this, the elders of the Leijia clan had different expressions on their faces. Although they tried their best to hide it, they could not suppress the expectant light in their eyes.
Their eyes are like greedy old wolves looking at a simple little sheep.
Mrs. Portia said directly: "Oh, Katyusha, you married our Fike, and you will be a family in the future. Have you ever thought about how to deal with those shares? After all, the market for medicines fluctuates greatly.
What I mean is that it is likely to depreciate in value in your hands. If there is no good arrangement, you can let us think about it for you."
After a long round of twists and turns, the last sentence is the key point.
Su Lun listened to their conversation the whole time. Although there was no expression on his face, he just wanted to laugh in his heart.
As soon as he heard Yekaterina's words, he knew someone was going to be tricked.
You are plotting her dowry, but they are plotting something else.
Ekaterina seemed not to have heard the plot of these cunning guys at all, and smiled politely.
She nodded with approval: "That's what you said. My father also said the same thing. He said that keeping the share of the medicine in his hands might be a big risk. He said that as long as Fick and I agree, it can be done
Feel free to sell it in exchange for some more stable stocks. Well, my mother gave me some advice, saying that if I want to sell my pharmaceutical share, it would be best to exchange for some shares in railways and shipping. That way, neither Fick nor I will be able to do it for many years to come.
Short of money”
God, what an innocent little princess this is.
God, how understanding this is.
As soon as they heard this, the eyes of the old guys in Leijiadi almost shone.
Su Lun's face was expressionless.
Ekaterina beside him hugged his arm tighter, as if to hint again: hold back, don't laugh.
But what she said was not a lie!
This potion is bound to have big fluctuations in the future. Whoever holds it in hand will be waiting for it to collapse!
I told you first, don’t blame me for being unkind and not warning you in advance.
Mrs. Portia smiled so hard that her eyebrows split into slits, as if she had the expression of an elder who cares for you, and said again: "Katyusha wants to exchange some railway and shipping stocks? Oh, indeed, this is a very stable business.
.”
"Um."
Ekaterina nodded and said innocently: "My mother said that after all, I will live in the south in the future, and the share of the medicine in my hand can be exchanged for 40% of the Southern Railway Company and 35% of the Southern Shipping Company
Equity. I think it’s too expensive, and it doesn’t matter if it’s less. I have a lot of dowry, but I don’t actually need that much money.”
Luying is currently in the stage of national development. Railways and shipping are sunrise industries, and losses and bankruptcy are basically not considered.
There is nothing wrong with this.
Her tone and demeanor sounded like that of an innocent young lady who had no opinions at all and didn't pay attention to politics.
But when she heard "Southern Railway Company" and "Southern Shipping Company", Mrs. Portia's expression changed slightly.
Because this is an asset controlled by the royal family of Leijiadi.
The Kingdom of Raigadi is different from other territories. On the islands in the south, railway transportation and shipping are internal military resources and are not sold to the outside world at all.
Otherwise, if outsiders take control of the traffic lifeline, the consequences will be endless.
But obviously, Ekaterina had thought of this a long time ago, and she said "understanding": "Mother also said that Southern stocks are rarely circulated in the London financial market. Because I bought it
Keep it for yourself. If I want to buy it, I can sign a non-transfer agreement. The shares will be permanently in the names of Katyusha and Fike, and will never be transferred to anyone other than Raigadi."
Listen, what a considerate little princess!
What a child who listens to his mother!
As long as this treaty can be signed, the shares will still be in the hands of their Leijiadi family. Once exchanged, they will get a share of the medicine worth hundreds of billions for nothing!
Upon hearing this, the expressions of sadness and hesitation that had just been on the faces of the old guys in Leijia were wiped away.
Mrs. Portia even looked at King Kelsen next to her and said directly: "Oh, Katyusha, I think your mother has arranged everything. If you really want to exchange some stocks, I will do it now.
I can think of a way for you. After all, Mr. Dawson is the helmsman of Southern Transportation Group. I think the 40% and 35% shares you mentioned are quite appropriate."
Turning her face, she asked the old man with a white beard who was pointed at not far away, "You think so, Mr. Dawson?"
Mr. Dawson also nodded politely, "Yes, Your Majesty the Queen."
Everyone in the room turned their attention to Ekaterina, waiting for her to agree, and immediately put hundreds of billions of wealth into their pockets.
The Raigadi family can also use their share of these potions in exchange for more benefits.
Su Lun silently listened to the exchange between the two sides and did not feel that Yekaterina did anything wrong.
After all, I already knew that marriage was for profit.
Both sides are.
It just depends on who has better methods and gets more.
Su Lun originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with him.
Unexpectedly, Yekaterina thought for a moment, suddenly looked over, and asked with a serious expression: "Fick, what do you think?"
After a pause, she added: "After all, this is our future common property."
"I?"
Su Lun also heard that the tone was really asking.
There is another underlying meaning in those twinkling crystal eyes: If you say you won’t cheat, I won’t cheat.
This opening showed enough respect.
Su Lun knew very well that in fact, Ye didn't need to consider his own opinions at all.
In fact, even if he objects, people like Lei Jiadi will overrule his objections.
After all, he just thought about it for this moment, and those eyes became vaguely evil. It was as if he would be violently criticized if he said even half of the word "no".
Su Lun failed to understand the current situation.
In the entire Raigadi family, he is the only outsider.
Su Lun chuckled, glanced at Ekaterina, and said lightly: "You decide."
Ekaterina smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes."
Ekaterina agreed to exchange her share of the medicine for equity, but Mrs. Portia couldn't wait to arrange for her to go to the next room to sign the contract.
I was afraid that this simple girl would go out to discuss with others and change her mind.
Su Lun stayed alone in the room.
Without Ekaterina, everyone in Leijia looked at him with numbness and hatred as a "tool man".
From beginning to end, Su Lun ignored these people.
But his attitude also made these big shots in Leijiadi very unhappy.
Mrs. Portia even shouted coldly: "Fike, why don't you be polite when you see your father and the elders?"
Su Lun's face was expressionless and he didn't move.
He knows very well that if I don’t give you face, how could you still dare to do something here?
A clan elder saw this and said, "He must have lost his memory. It's normal if he doesn't recognize us."
Only then did everyone learn that the black tower where Archduke Raphael had been exiled had undergone a memory clearing procedure.
King Kelsen, who was on the main seat, waved and said, "Bring the potion up."
Su Lun looked at the cheap old man of the original owner with no expression on his face, but he was slightly surprised in his heart: "Is this guy going to die?"
After observing it for so long just now, it is probably correct.
Although Kelson looked good, judging from the fluctuations in his soul, it seemed that some mysterious spell had affected his lifespan. The fluctuations in his soul were very similar to those of a dying person.
Could it be that [blasphemy of the crown]?
Possibly, but very small.
People in Leijiadi must know that it has the cursed property of losing life, so even if you don't advance to the seventh level, you won't waste too much life to use the crown.
After all, a king does not need to be very good at fighting.
So, murder?
If the king dies, who benefits the most?
Of course he is the heir.
Once you get the results, it's easy to deduce the reasons.
Su Lun suddenly thought of a line in his mind: Dalang, it's time to take medicine.
The majestic king of Raiga is extremely difficult for outsiders to assassinate. So, is the snake-scorpion lady anxious to let William take over, so she secretly resorted to means? Is there a shadow of Raphael? Or maybe the Lance family?
Probably these are the ones.
Moreover, Su Lun also discovered a big problem.
That was when she came in just now, Mrs. Portia's nose moved slightly, as if she was trying to hold back a sneeze.
So, this woman is also a believer in foreign gods?
This matter is very subtle.
I still haven't figured out why she wants those potion shares, so this is it?
Su Lun thought of something in his mind, but remained silent.
At this time, a servant brought out a tray.
There is a potion in the tray.
[Excellent soothing potion]
Detailed explanation: A very precious medicine; after taking it, it can cure brain damage and restore lost memory; when used by normal people, it can strengthen the brain and replenish the mind, and slightly and permanently improve intelligence attributes;
Su Lun looked at it and thought, "Wow, what a good thing."
Actually improves attributes permanently!
He has heard of this potion, but it is a top-notch potion that cannot be bought with money.
However, King Kelsen had no intention of explaining, and directly said to Su Lun in a commanding tone: "Drink."
It sounds like a gift, given to you.
Although Su Lun felt unhappy, it was a good thing after all. He didn't show anything, just picked it up and drank it in one gulp.
I don't feel anything, just refreshing and cool.
After all, "Fick's" soul has been sacrificed, and there is no trace left. Even if he drinks some potion, he can't remember anything.
And judging from the intelligence collected by Sabina before, "Fick" doesn't have much presence in the Raigadi family.
He was originally a waste with no talent, and even Kelson, a father, didn't have any preference.
His mother died, and his grandfather who left a treasure map on his retina also died suddenly last year.
Now that I think about it, the death of my mother and grandfather was probably not the illness or accident that the outside world heard about.
After taking the potion, he waited for a while and looked at Su Lun, whose face was still expressionless.
But he was very cooperative, and there was a vague look in his eyes as if the medicine was taking effect, as if he had remembered something.
Kelsen said nothing.
Mrs. Portia spoke arrogantly: "Fike, we won't talk about the past. You have also suffered some hardships. It will be fine if you come back now."
When Su Lun heard this beginning, he sneered in his heart.
He also never mentioned the two murders by William.
The first time no one saw him at sea, the second time this guy was also hiding behind the scenes, leaving no evidence at all.
Even if you say it, no one will believe it.
What's more, in this situation, it seems that this woman is thinking of scheming against herself instead of welcoming him back.
Portia glanced at him and continued: "Now you have achieved something. But you should always remember that the name 'Regadi' is the glory of your life. And you have to know that everything about you is
What the family has given you, including this marriage, and the fact that you can marry that beautiful lady from the Lance family."
The tone is very arrogant, as if to imply: What is given to you can be taken back at any time.
"As a member of Leijiadi, you should have an overall view and put the family's interests above all else."
"Yes. As a royal family, shouldering the sacred mission of reviving the family, we should have a higher consciousness and remember to be grateful."
"This marriage with the Lance family has been facilitated, and the family has made great efforts for this. Therefore, it is your honor for you to marry the fourth Miss Lance, and it is also a reward given to you by the family. In the future, you should consider the position of the family more
"
""
As soon as she said this, the elders of the tribe also responded and said brainwashing.
Su Lun listened and still said nothing.
He thought that after listening to these people's chatter, he would never see him again after today.
Mrs. Portia continued to draw cakes without thinking, and said: "If there is any news from the Lance family in the future, remember to report it to the family as soon as possible. Don't worry, the family will not treat you badly. You were still young before, so you didn't
Fiefdom. But this time you come back, the four provinces of Gunsfeld in the west of the kingdom will be your fiefdom."
Pili Ba La said a lot.
But they didn't know that Su Lun had no interest in politics at all, and he didn't want to be a local lord.
And Su Lun also knew very well that this femme fatale woman knew that she and William were mortal enemies, and she still said this, obviously trying to turn the entire family against him.
Su Lun still ignored it and even felt like dozing off.
But at this time, Portia changed the topic and suddenly asked: "Also, Fike, what is going on with the 'Dawn Organization'? You can give the information to the family's intelligence department later."
"You should also send a message to that 'Mr. Mirror' and say that I am interested in meeting her. If we can cooperate with 'Ling Ming', it will be a great help for our restoration. After all, an eighth-level professional is considered extraordinary.
Already."
"From now on, you will stay in the family. If you have any questions, please contact me in time."
""
The words are full of arrogance. These guys really think they are the former Marfa royal family.
Su Lun sounded completely expected.
His value in the eyes of these guys in Raigadi is nothing more than marriage and membership in Dawn.
These people were probably convinced that he was willing to get married, but they were afraid that he would not be able to give up his aristocratic status. As long as he continued to use the identity of "Fick", he would never have anything to do with Rhaegar.
Little did he know that Su Lun had no interest in their paintings.
But he didn't intend to make things too serious.
After all, it won't do any good to you, and it will also affect Ekaterina's plan.
If you want to kill someone, just find an opportunity later.
After suppressing boredom and listening for half an hour, Yekaterina, who had signed the transaction contract, came to the rescue and Su Lun was able to escape.
Walked out of the small hall.
Yekaterina looked at Su Lun with a dark face and knew that the conversation just now was obviously not pleasant.
She apologized and said, "I'm sorry for troubling you."
Su Lun was not in a good mood at first, but looking at the "harmless" little princess in front of her, she suddenly became happy and joked: "I just discovered that Miss Ekaterina's image in the eyes of outsiders is
, it seems different from the one I know."
Yekaterina did not deny it, smiled slightly, and just corrected: "Ah, you should call me 'Katyusha' or 'Mrs.' now, otherwise others will be very strange when they hear it."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they were a small interest group with a common secret.
Yekaterina added: "I still need to trouble you, sir, we have to go to a cocktail party to receive guests."
Su Lun shrugged and said, "Okay."
Thinking of something, he said again: "By the way, do you know that Mrs. Portia is a believer in foreign gods?"
When Yekaterina heard this, her eyes were slightly startled, "No wonder."
After Su Lun left, Raigadi and the others were not in a hurry to leave.
Everyone could see that "Ficker's" attitude was very different from what they expected.
They held a brief high-level family meeting.
"Fick doesn't seem to be easy to control. Fortunately for the Lance family, the fourth princess is quite well-behaved. I don't think Fick will obediently hand over the information about the Dawn Organization. I'm afraid he thinks he is the "god of death"
"You have some ability, your wings are strong."
"It really should be beaten carefully. But it doesn't matter. After all, the marriage has been completed, and Fike's attitude has nothing to do with the overall situation."
"Indeed. That's right. The eighth level of Mr. Mirror is good, but he is only a first-class product like North Sea King Oleg, so there is nothing to be afraid of. It's good if you can conquer it, but there's no problem if you can't. We should use this to get married.
, find a better opportunity to extend the family's influence to Lingdun."
"Yes, the current political situation in Luying is in turmoil, which is indeed the best opportunity for us."
""
"By the way, do you think this is appropriate for [Scarlet Potion]? I always feel like there's something wrong with it."
"There is no problem with the potion. I have personally confirmed this with Her Majesty the Queen. There are indeed some secrets in it, but for now, we can only choose to side with one side. Either with the royal family, or with a few opposition leaders.
Congressman. Now the British Council of Lu is controlled by a few big councilors, the power is divided, and the life of the Bona royal family is not easy. There are not many helpers that Queen Charlotte can use, and our Lei Jiadi is definitely the one she must rely on.
I just went to the palace yesterday, and Her Majesty the Queen personally promised me that more resources will be allocated to the South in the future. This is our great opportunity. If we want to get support, we must let the Queen see our attitude."
"Yes. Her Majesty the Queen is right. Supporting the royal family is indeed our best choice. We are now married to the Reims family, and Archduke Raphael also wants to cooperate. We can obviously get more resources, so there is no need.
Put your eggs in the same basket."
"Seconded."
""
"William, you don't have to think too much. The superiors have a longer-term view. It's just a woman. I have already made an agreement with Her Majesty the Queen and will marry Princess Sofia to you in the future. That is better than the fourth princess of the Lance family.
