Linda shook her head and said disapprovingly: "Mother, the mine is an abandoned mine in our hands. If you put it for another hundred years, it will still be a worthless mine and will not bring you any glory. The Baron has his unique vision and adventurous spirit, and he has also made great efforts. Now that he has succeeded, we should congratulate him, at least we don't have to feel guilty for cheating others."

The Marquis glared at her daughter fiercely. She was not so vulgar at first, but the pressure of supporting a family alone and those difficult days left an indelible impression on her. The result of giving a mountain of gold to others with his own hands made regret and jealousy burn her heart like flames. The Marquis's will was already confused. She just wanted to get back what originally belonged to her.

At this moment, a young man in a straight dress came over, raised his hat and saluted, and said affectionately: "Aunt Candice, cousin Linda, hello."

The Marquis's face was sunk as soon as he saw the young man and said lightly: "Hank, are you here to attend the banquet too?"

Linda's eyes lit up, she smiled and nodded at Hank and said, "Cousin."

Hank said shyly: "Yes, I attended the reception for my father, and he has been in a bad health."

He hesitated for a moment, and raised the courage to say, "Aunt Candice, I visited you a few days ago, but the manager said you were out. Well, you know, since my father got sick, our business has been not very good, and now the funds are not in turnover. I want to borrow some money from you, look."

"God!" the Marquis shouted exaggeratedly: "Don't you know that I am a widow? My family is almost impossible to maintain, so where can I lend you money?"

Hank's face looked a little ugly and said reluctantly: "But did my aunt get a large transfer fee for transferring the gold mines in the Dawn Mountains to Baron Alex? Please believe me, just inject a sum of funds, my business will improve immediately, and I can repay the money at an interest rate of two points higher than from the bank."

The Marquis sneered: "Is that right? Hahaha, if your business prospects are so beautiful, how could those bankers who see gold like wild cats that smell fishy when they see it? Yes, I have received a sum of money now, which is the future cost of a widow and her poor daughter."

Hank said embarrassedly: "Auntie".

The Marquis said firmly: "Enough! Do you know I am your aunt? If I could help you, would I stand by and watch? Hank, there are many ways to destroy family affection, the most thorough one is to borrow money! I hope you can consider it."

Looking at Hank's lost and leaving back, Linda couldn't bear to blame, "Mom, you're too much!"

The Marquis said bluntly: "If I don't have the extra time, then we will soon be penniless again. Speaking of the economy."

The Marquis suddenly became energetic: "Daughter, I have asked, Baron Alex is still single, and in terms of status, our two families are quite compatible. Have you ever thought about the possibility of marrying him? If you become his wife, his gold mine is equivalent to yours. In other words, you took back the property that should belong to the Putifu family. Yes, at least half of it."

Linda didn't expect that her mother would have such an idea to exchange her marriage for wealth. The girl blushed and immediately turned away with her sleeves in anger.

The Marquis said angrily: "I know you like the Rux you visited at home last time. You are not young anymore. Don't believe in love at first sight. You can see the other person's appearance at a glance, but you can't see how much assets the other person has.

The Marquis threw a red fruit into his mouth, thought for a while, and suddenly walked towards Du Wei.

Du Wei smiled and dealt with the welcomers who also had fake smiles. Everyone was wearing a fake mask and looking for opportunities to reveal their true purpose while humming and haha. This was much more boring than hiding in a small dark room, drinking wine while preaching to the poor.

Du Wei rushed back to Baptister from the Dawn Mountains overnight yesterday, and he was worried about meeting with the Lord God tonight to discuss the expansion of the Dhagi Church, so he was very impatient with these social engagements. But he knew that this was a social engagement that he had to go through to the upper class, and this was one of the plans of the Lord God God, so he had to pretend to be smiling and betray the snake.

When Du Wei saw the dressed Marquis walking towards him, he immediately raised his wine glass politely and said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone, the Marquis Putivo is my first business partner since I arrived in Baptiste. I want to talk to her alone."

Deval and a group of bankers heard this and smiled and gave them some private space. Deval looked around and saw the little dwarf Batto chasing behind the beautiful girl Linda's skirt, chatting, and hurriedly raised his glass to put on a sip of wine, and then chased after him.

"Hello, beautiful Marquis, long time no see," Du Wei put the wine glass in a passing waiter's plate, and his eyes were unconsciously betting on Mrs. Candice's chest, which was white and tender as a girl, with plump and tall peaks standing proudly.

"Congratulations, Baron, your efforts have not been in vain. The Obestan family is indeed outstanding talents." The Marquis smiled like a flower.

Du Wei nodded politely and said, "Thank you, it was my wife's generous transfer that I could take over successfully. When the Putifu family was facing difficulties, I actually took a considerable advantage in doing so. Well, I am considering that when the mine stabilizes, I will give my wife another sum of money in my personal name as compensation."

This was a solution that Helen, Jedi and Duwei had already agreed on. Although the Putifu family had declined, they were still quite connected in the Principality of Norman, especially among the nobles with a long history. Duwei, as a "noble from the north", needed a guide to successfully enter the upper class of Baptister.

The Marquis was surprised and delighted: "Is this true? Oh, Baron Alex is so generous, no wonder it makes women fall in love with it at first sight."

"Uh? What did you say?" Du Wei was stunned. He had never been favored by women since he had grown up. He occasionally made some money and could only find the cheapest prostitute to vent his hopes. After turning into a noble, he immediately went deep into the mountains and did not have time to exert the charm of money. Now, he suddenly heard such a sentence and was a little flattered.

"Madam, did you say you said there are women who fall in love with me?" Du Wei asked stutter.

The Marquis chuckled and said, "Yes, your demeanor, appearance, and temperament deeply touched her. She is also a nobleman, but the shyness of a woman makes her dare not express her feelings directly to you. I wonder if the Baron has a woman he likes in the north?"

Du Wei quickly said, "No, no, you know, I'm single." He licked his lips, felt his throat dry, and he missed the smell of alcohol again.

Du Wei asked in a low voice: "Marquis de Marquise, who is the woman you are talking about?"

The two of them walked and talked, and had already walked out of the hall, walking around the flower bed full of flowers to a mossy rockery fountain.

Mrs. Candice reached out to pick a flower, turned it to her nose and sniffed it gently, looking at him with a vibrant eyes, and said with a chuckling, "Can't you guess who she is with the wisdom of the baron and the superhuman eyes? Do you know many women from noble families in Baptiste? The last time you visited my home, it was your first meeting."

Du Wei said "ah", stood there stunned, and said ate: "Are you saying that?"

Mrs. Candice smiled softly and said, "Baron guessed it?"

"Yes!" Du Wei rubbed his hands excitedly: "I didn't expect that I was completely unthinkable. I really didn't expect that you would fall in love with me, and I really didn't expect that the first time I saw you, I was fascinated by your charming appearance and style."

"Uh?" The Marquis of Putifu was stunned for a moment, his snow-white face was covered with red clouds. She was angry and embarrassed, and said angrily: "Oh my God, Baron, what are you talking about? This is ridiculous. I am talking about my daughter Linda."

"Linda", Du Zong asked blankly, thinking hard for a long time, he really had a little impression of the pretty girl with a dignified appearance, but the ones that impressed him the most were the surging waves on Mrs. Candice's chest and the slender and round waist as thin and round as a girl.

That green fruit is not as charming as such a ripe and beautiful woman? When Du Wei was preaching in Hugo Lane, he occasionally saved some money to visit prostitutes, and he also looked for women who were much older than him. Perhaps he had a slight Oedipus plot. In short, mature women had irresistible lethality to him.

Du Wei said disappointedly: "Is it Miss Linda? Oh, she is a good girl, but I have never been moved by her. I am so obsessed with you. I want to crawl at your feet, I want to fall into your arms."

As soon as he said this, he suddenly realized that he had caused a big disaster. He was so scared that he quickly explained: "I'm sorry, I'm talking nonsense, madam, don't take it to your heart."

Mrs. Candice was so embarrassed that her neck and chest turned red. What she wanted to say, but facing the man who had just talked to herself, she had no courage to say a rebuke. The Marquis stamped her feet, moaned in shame, and left.

Many noble ladies had lovers in secret, but Mrs. Candice had never tried this fashionable thing, especially today, who originally wanted to introduce her daughter to him, but unexpectedly, this young nobleman who was at least ten years younger than herself actually expressed his love to herself.

The Marquis was panicked and confused, and ran away in a hurry, feeling his face hot and his heart beat hard. But if you want to be ashamed and angry, you still feel an uncontrollable excitement and secret joy in your heart.
