Naturally, Petrovna did not dare to come out and act like a monster. So when Ravel brought Count Shuvalov's request, she was not hesitant and was ready to refuse the matter directly. But then she felt that Shuvalov
The earl seemed to be the target of his boss's attention behind the scenes. If he made any changes, it seemed that he needed to pay attention, so he secretly asked Anton for instructions.
At this time, Anton had also taken office, taking over most of the gendarmes and police in Kiev, and was busy cleaning and integrating them. He was surprised to hear the news suddenly. He could not ignore it and asked Rostov for instructions.
Count Tsev then told Petrovna to go and see what Count Shuvalov wanted to do, but not to agree to anything he said immediately.
In fact, Petrovna would have done this even without Anton telling her. She knew very well how dangerous Count Shuvalov was. He was a tiger that eats people without spitting out their bones. You can never be too careful!
But Shuvalov was very calm about Petrovna's somewhat eccentric words. He had long known that this woman's heart was as small as the eye of a needle. She must be full of resentment for being tricked by him and almost losing her life. He said a few words to himself.
It was normal, and he always felt that Petrovna would take refuge with Grand Duke Constantine just to take revenge on him.
Based on this, it’s not surprising that Petrovna pulled out a gun at him as soon as they met, and it didn’t matter if he was scolded for a few words, he wouldn’t lose a hair. As long as he could complete Count Uvarov’s mission, let alone being scolded.
Just let him drink Petrovna's foot-washing water.
"It's nothing," Count Shuvalov said with a calm smile, "I just feel that there is some misunderstanding with you, Madam. As the saying goes, it is better to dissolve enemies than to end them. There is no need for some trivial matters to affect our long-standing friendship."
Petrovna immediately sneered: "Years of friendship? Your Excellency, you are really joking. How can I reach you? Didn't you tell the third party that you don't know me at all? How can there be any friendship with strangers?
What can I say?"
"A woman with a small belly!"
Count Shuvalov cursed, but still said with a smile: "Of course you can only tell lies about those monsters in the third part. How can you take the lies seriously? I don't think you, madam, will be honest with those monsters.
Say it!"
Petrovna chuckled in her heart and thought to herself: "Then you are really wrong. I really just confessed everything. If I don't, I won't be able to survive today."
"Really?" Petrovna sneered again, and suddenly pointed at Shuvalov as if she remembered something and said: "Count, I remember that you are also from the third part, so should I continue to follow you?
You are talking nonsense!"
Count Shuvalov, who was insulted again, was naturally unhappy. He thought to himself, if you dared to tell me such strange things from the underworld a few months ago, let's see how I deal with you! Don't think that you have taken refuge with Grand Duke Constantine.
I feel like my wings are stiff, and you don’t even see that your boss can’t do anything to me. Why on earth are you being so arrogant to me?
"That is your freedom," Count Shuvalov replied calmly, "but I am looking for you today to renew our relationship. I have always regarded you as a friend. Even if there were some misunderstandings before, it was just for our own sake.
It’s just his master!”
Petrovna snorted coldly in her heart. Naturally, she did not believe what Count Shuvalov said, but she was not interested in continuing to grind her teeth with him. The most important thing was to understand his purpose.
So she asked bluntly: "My time is precious. If Your Excellency, Count, you are here to reminisce about old times and tell old stories about old millet and rotten sesame seeds, then we will have plenty of time to chat slowly when we go to St. Petersburg. Now I am still busy packing."
, don’t have that spare time!”
Count Shuvalov didn't want to continue talking about these useless things. He actually wanted to get to the point quickly, so he just smiled lightly and said: "Okay, let's talk about old times later. I believe we will still have to talk in the future.
of!"
Count Shuvalov was very confident. He thought that no matter how bad he was, he could still feed and house Petrovna steadily. In his opinion, this woman was just a rare plaything with some use.
He looked at Petrovna leisurely and said: "Speaking of the last incident, some things happened so fast that Grand Duke Constantine and I might have missed something... Looking back now, some things
It bothers me very much that something is stuck in my throat... It would be good for me and Grand Duke Constantine to figure out these things, right?"
Petrovna was a little disapproving. She knew that Count Shuvalov thought that she was the Grand Duke Constantine who would say this. If this sinister villain knew that she had another owner, he would probably be shocked.
Petrovna would definitely not tell these little things, so she just looked at Count Shuvalov quietly and asked calmly: "What are some of the things you are talking about?"
Count Shuvalov didn't know that Petrovna was trying to trick him, and thought that the other party had accepted his excuse to explore the matter. He immediately asked: "What happened to Bruning? Who connected him with
Rescued by Fioning? You found that guy, you should know his details, right?"
Petrovna was stunned, because Count Shuvalov was obviously preparing to track down the prison escape, and his target was directly at the person behind the rescue of Fionin. Petrovna was also full of doubts about this before, but she surrendered
After getting a new owner, these doubts have long been solved.
She knew very well who was behind the scenes and who rescued Bruning and Fioning. These were top secrets and could never be revealed.
With a thought, she deliberately asked: "Speaking of which, I still want to ask you, what happened that day? Did your people leak the news?"
Faced with Petrovna's questioning, Count Shuvalov's eyes flashed coldly. He instinctively felt that Petrovna was not telling the truth, even if she pretended to be confused. He was too familiar with this woman's expressions and movements, as long as she was
If she lies, she will never be able to deceive him!
"My people are absolutely reliable!" Count Shuvalov said slowly, "The only thing that may go wrong is you and Bruning. Judging from your hasty escape that day, you should have been prepared. Was Bruning
I noticed something from you!"
Petrovna's heart was pounding. She realized that Count Shuvalov had doubted her. Just as the other party was familiar with all her expressions and movements, she also knew the other party. She knew that she must remain calm now, otherwise she would really
This despicable and insidious guy saw the clues...
