When Petrovna said, Viscount Prozolov immediately pricked up his ears. He also wanted to know what Petrovna had discovered.
However, Petrovna played it safe at this time and just looked at him directly but did not say anything immediately.
Viscount Prozolov was stunned for a moment, narrowed his eyes and asked slowly: "What? Can't you say it?"
Petrovna smiled gracefully and said: "Of course it's not that I can't tell you, but this information is too important!"
Viscount Prozolov looked at her again. He knew what Petrovna meant. She was just waiting for a price!
Viscount Prozolov had no objection to this. For Petrovna, it was natural for him to become a civilized and martial artist and join the imperial family. Simply put, every effort must be rewarded.
Petrovna's surrender has already benefited Grand Duke Constantine a lot. No matter what, you must give her some benefits and sweetness, otherwise who will work for you?
It’s not that Viscount Prozolov is stingy and refuses to give Petrovna benefits, but that he knows that Petrovna wants too much, and it will be very difficult to satisfy this woman. So he must be careful how he spends his energy.
Maintain the cooperative relationship temporarily reached by both parties.
After a moment of silence, Viscount Prozolov said: "Thirty thousand rubles?"
Petrovna was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Do you think I am someone who is short of money?"
Viscount Prozolov smiled and said: "Yes! It looks very similar. If I guessed correctly, you probably don't have much money now, right? And Shuvalov confiscated all your property before..."
Before Viscount Prozolov could finish speaking, Petrovna interrupted: "Those are just drizzle, how could I be stupid enough not to take any precautions? What's more, for me now, what's the use of money?"
Viscount Prozolov crossed his legs and replied: "There are many uses. You can win over and buy more old friends. Even if you can't spend it, wouldn't it be better to save it for a rainy day?"
Petrovna sneered: "Save it? Then if something unexpected happens, wouldn't it be an advantage for you? I'm not that stupid!"
Viscount Prozolov smiled again and said: "It seems that you don't completely trust us!"
"Of course, this is called learning from every experience. You and Shuvalov are the same, no one is much better than the other!"
Viscount Prozolov asked without anger: "Then what do you want?"
Petrovna snorted again and said angrily: "I want freedom, I want a brighter future, will you give it to me?"
Viscount Prozolov still smiled and replied: "Of course I will, but it will take time. You are our most important trump card and you cannot take it out easily until the critical moment."
Petrovna asked rudely: "When is the critical moment?"
Viscount Prozolov was not in a hurry at all. He leaned comfortably on the sofa and replied casually: "You will know then!"
Such an answer naturally made Petrovna very dissatisfied. She had had enough of this kind of hiding life. She longed for balls, salons and theaters. She longed for fun and flirting with different men, and she was fascinated by the caged bird day after day.
life feels angry.
Viscount Prozolov finally put away his cynicism and sneered: "How is it possible to achieve great things without going through hardships? I can't stand this little grievance. What will you do if you face a more difficult environment in the future?"
Petrovna was stunned when asked, because she had never seen Viscount Prozolov speak in such a serious and serious manner since she met him, and she was not used to him suddenly becoming so serious.
After a long while, she said: "Then you can't always deal with me like this!"
"I'm not perfunctory with you!" Viscount Prozolov looked directly into her eyes and said sincerely: "You are indeed very crucial, and it is not your turn to appear now! Believe me, when you appear, the victory will be determined.
The moment of defeat!”
I don’t know whether it was Viscount Prozolov’s sincerity that impressed Petrovna, or whether she was just testing it a little bit. Anyway, she accepted this rhetoric and directly stated her current request: “Thirty thousand rubles, and additional help.”
Raphael needs to be promoted to a higher position. With his talent, it is too humiliating to be a small military policeman!"
Viscount Prozolov smiled slightly and agreed without hesitation: "No problem, the money will be delivered in the afternoon. As for Ravel, I will try to arrange it."
Who knew that Petrovna actually waved her hand and said: "Don't send the money to me, give it directly to Ravel, he knows what to do!"
This answer surprised Viscount Prozolov, but he immediately realized what Petrovna wanted to do. To put it bluntly, it was just a test by this woman. She just wanted to know her status and importance, so
Just pretending to make things difficult.
Now, this woman is probably quite satisfied with his attitude, so she accepts it as soon as it suits her, and earns some benefits for herself and her people.
I have to say that Petrovna is indeed very shrewd. She basically figured out the attitude of Viscount Prozolov, and she also got a vote. With the 30,000 rubles, I believe Ravel will become active soon.
However, Viscount Prozolov is not angry, because this is what he wants Petrovna to do. If this woman can take action, with her connections, she can still do a lot of things in Kiev.
And he also believed that this woman would definitely give Shuvalov a drink. From this point of view, the thirty thousand rubles were well spent.
Thinking of this, Viscount Prozolov crossed his legs again and asked slowly: "Can we now tell you about the true relationship between Merkulova and Peter Balek?"
Petrovna smiled charmingly and said: "I also spent a lot of effort and had Rafael bribe the servants of the Governor's Mansion to find out with great difficulty. When there are no outsiders in a private setting, you Merkulova
What do you call our pig-headed governor?"
Although Viscount Prozolov didn't like this kind of petty official, he still asked cooperatively: "What's your name?"
Petrovna giggled and replied: "Daddy!"
Viscount Prozolov was stunned for a moment, as if he was too surprised. It took him a while to come back to his senses and asked in disbelief: "She is his daughter?"
Petrovna covered her mouth and smiled again: "I'm afraid so, that's why there are so many weird things, and that's why Merkulova's status is so special. I'm afraid no one would have thought that Merkulova is the one with the pig head."
