Chapter 1277 Sending Uncle Qing to the Garcia family to collect debts
In the small town of Hallschwart, life moves at a slow pace. Sofia can support her family by taking odd jobs. At this moment, everyone is sitting on the lawn, drinking coffee, chatting, and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Alps.
Zuo Mingyue leaned against her mother's chest, watching the little tiger and white wolf running in the distance. Nuannuan, Athena, and Edward sat on their backs, and bursts of silvery laughter drifted over.
Zuo Mingyue murmured.
"Mommy, why don't you and Daddy come back to England with us in a few days? We have our own villa there."
Da Bao also said with a smile.
"We just recently won a villa in Mayfair from the Garcia brothers, which is perfect for you, Princess, and your uncle to live in with the children."
Sofia looked at the Alps and silently shook her head. She was a French royal princess, and although the royal family no longer existed, her title remained.
If she and Zuo Wenbin were to live in England for an extended period, they would need to consult with their family. Having endured much disdain and ridicule from many people, Sofia was utterly disillusioned with the royal family, including her own brother.
She will never forget the insults and accusations these people made against her.
Daisy said with a look of shame.
"I'm sorry, Aunt, my father is a scheming and manipulative man. Although I shouldn't say it like that as his son, I truly despise him. And that's why Susanna and I went to the East and stayed in Singapore for half a year?"
If Arthur hadn't invited Susanna and me to Scotland, I don't think I would have gone back to France.
Susanna nodded. Daisy had been pursuing her. Although they were first cousins and related by blood, it was the most common practice in Europe for first cousins to marry. Even in China, there used to be no objection to marriage between first cousins because those plays and stories all talked about cousins getting together, so there was no such thing as marriage between close relatives. It was only in the marriage law promulgated in 1980 that the new country stipulated that marriage within three generations was prohibited.
However, many people believe that consanguineous marriage will produce intelligent children. After all, the smartest person in the world had parents who were cousins. In fact, this is wrong. Everyone carries five or six viral genes in their body. If children are born to blood relatives, the viral load will be greatly increased, leading to a genetic deformity.
“Auntie, although my mommy doesn’t approve of my uncle’s actions, you know that in my family, my mommy has no say.”
Sofia nodded silently. The world sees the royal family living a life of luxury and extravagance, but who knows how much intrigue and sordid scheming goes on inside? No amount of kinship can compare to power and wealth...
Hearing what Daisley and Susanna said, Da Bao finally understood why his mother-in-law and father-in-law's family, despite being members of the royal family, lived in such poverty. It turned out that it was all the Duke of Orléans's doing to marginalize Princess Sofia, since Princess Sofia was the first in line to the throne.
Although France is no longer a monarchy, the royal family is still nominally the most powerful. When the French president takes office, he must first go to the royal family to meet the king, which is a procedure, although it is not recorded in the law.
The French royal family has always possessed astonishing wealth, but the Duke of Orléans was not the first in line to the throne, while Princess Sofia was. The Duke of Orléans, along with other members of the royal family, used Zuo Wenbin as a pretext to expel Princess Sofia from France and send her to Austria.
This has always been a source of pain for Princess Sofia. In a sense, she was exiled by Orleans and others, which was a fatal blow to the strong-willed girl.
Upon hearing Dai Sili and the others recount the incident, Zuo Mingyue flew into a rage. She summoned Uncle Qing and prepared to return to France immediately to settle accounts with Orleans and the others.
This was the first time in the past two years that Da Bao had seen Zuo Mingyue get angry. He chuckled, hugged his wife, and ruffled her hair as he spoke.
“We must settle accounts, and we must get back what we’ve lost. We’ve never been taught to take a beating without fighting back. But we have to wait until Uncle recovers, and then we’ll go back to France immediately. This time, we’re not only going to get back what we’ve lost, but we’re also going to punish them. How does that sound?”
Zuo Mingyue finally calmed down. Sophia, seeing her daughter stand up for her, was momentarily stunned, as if she were still in a dream.
At this moment, Uncle Qing hurried over, holding two telegrams in his hand.
“Mr. Arthur, your telegram.”
Arthur hurriedly stood up and took the telegram. After reading it, he frowned. Da Bao and the others were all looking at him.
Arthur handed the telegram to Da Bao and said.
"My men in Spain have sent word that Murdoch and Locke's father tried to poison them, but failed. So he sent his bodyguards to kill them. Murdoch, in order to protect his brother Locke, died along with the bodyguards. Locke has already escaped."
However, the Garcia family has issued a statement saying that Locke has been expelled from the Garcia family for committing crimes and breaking the rules, and that Locke has no further connection with the Garcia family.
Da Bao sneered and put down the telegram.
"So you're saying you owe me and want to renege on your debt? Not so easy. Uncle Qing, you and Arthur's men go to the Garcia family patriarch. Give him the IOU signed by Murdoch and Locke, along with the contract, and tell him that since he's willing to pay off the debt with his son's life, half of it can be offset."
"If you don't return the remaining half, you'd better bring me back this chieftain's head."
Uncle Qing respectfully agreed, took the contact information written by Arthur, and left Austria overnight, heading straight for Spain.
Three days later at dusk, Uncle Qing and Arthur's men returned. Uncle Qing was still the same, carrying a leather suitcase, but when Arthur's men looked at Uncle Qing, their eyes were full of fear.
Zuo Wenbin had already woken up and was much better now. Da Bao had given him spiritual well water for two consecutive days to replenish his lost energy. Now, only news was coming from Henry Hamilton.
Now everyone is drinking coffee and chatting on the lawn. Uncle Qing comes to Da Bao's side, opens his suitcase, and says softly.
“Young master, this is the 1,500-acre ranch in Salamanca, the two castles in La Ao, the three estates in Vahiria and Naliya, the five shops in Paris, France, and a villa on Mayfair Street in London.”
The Garcia family has made up for everything that Merckdo owed, and the current head of the family even asked me to express my respect to you.
Da Bao carefully examined Uncle Qing from head to toe, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not injured.
"Is everything going well?"
