Chapter 884 (1/2)

Seeing Catherine who kept kowtow to her, Zhou Ye leaked a smile on her face...

”Catherine, what are you doing?” Jacques Duck was really surprised and angry when he saw his eldest daughter's behavior...

Jacques was surprised because he didn't expect his eldest daughter to do this-he was angry because-he was afraid that the foreign aristocrat in front of him was really moved with compassion and heeded his eldest daughter's words... Then he would be true shocked.

For Jacques, what does that small box of gold represent??

The box of gold represented that Jacques was able to purchase the entire village’s land, from a rich peasant to a landlord; it represented that he would no longer have to work in the land and could hire serfs to help him, and he only Just need to enjoy it at home; it means that from then on, he will also have the opportunity to step into the upper class...

It means that the Tadak family can buy a title of the lowest rank from the nobility with money... From then on, they can get rid of the peasant class and step onto a higher noble class...

Why is Catherine 18 years old and still not married in this era of common early marriage??,

It’s not because Jacques is reluctant to take a dowry with a ready-made labor force at home...

Although Jacques Duck is already a rich peasant... but he is not a landlord... He still belongs to the bottom of society...

Of course, what Jacques is most afraid of is that his eldest daughter angered the young aristocrat who seems to be very talkative, and made him rob him in a rage... Then he really cried and couldn't find the tone...

Don't think that the nobles in this era are so particular... Those guys have a lot of lawlessness. Their so-called noble glory is nothing more than putting down the butcher knife in their hands, then putting on the gorgeous dress, and then pretending to be a civilization in a gentle manner. People...It's not that they can't do things like slaughtering the village, especially in this era of wars everywhere, just find a reason...They can pick themselves clean...

”My lord... don't listen to her nonsense... she just...” Before Jacques finished speaking, Zhou Ye interrupted...

”Don't worry... The decision I made will never change!” Zhou Ye waved his hand slightly at Jacques... motioned him to stop saying anything...

Hearing Zhou Ye's words, Catherine slumped on the damp ground all of a sudden, and she finally couldn't help crying.”Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

”My lord, I'm sorry...I'll take Catherine away now...” Jacques looked at Zhou Ye's face carefully. He was afraid that a trace of impatience would leak from Zhou Ye's face. That meant - this adult was going to be angry. ...That would be terrible.Thinking of this, Jacques hurriedly shouted: ”Isabella...Isabella...Hurry up and take your daughter away!”

”Don't worry...” Zhou Ye waved his hand to stop Jacques' movements... Then he bent down slightly and gently raised Catherine's chin with his hand...

”Woo...” Catherine was still crying, but in the face of Zhou Ye's movements, she did not dare to resist, she could only slightly raise her face unwillingly.

”It's so sad to cry... It seems that you and your sister have a very good relationship!” Zhou Ye said with a smile, raising his hand to wipe the teardrops on Catherine's face... I have to say, as Joan. Catherine's sister, Catherine is also a delicate beauty, especially after Zhou Ye wiped away the stains on her face because of cooking accidentally, she felt more delicate and soft...

”Yes...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh The gentle movement of wiping her face made her feel a little more fond of this handsome and good-looking nobleman.

”Then are you willing to follow me? So you can take care of your sister by the way...” Zhou Ye smiled like a big bad wolf inducing and luring a little white rabbit on his face.

Hearing Zhou Ye's words, Catherine asked with a look of surprise: ”Really? Can I really be with my sister?”

”Of course it's true...” Zhou Ye said with a smile.

”That's great... I am willing...sir, I am willing to follow you and be your maid!” To Catherine, Joan is almost her daughter to some extent-after all, Joan After birth, because of the busy parents, she almost always brought up her sister... Her relationship with Joan of Arc was far beyond the imagination of the Ducks...

”No...sir...Catherine is my only daughter...” Jacques was a little anxious...a daughter doesn't matter, but if you send the eldest daughter out, then he will have no children...

”Don't worry...” Zhou Ye waved his hand to Jacques, and then slightly waved back. Standing behind him, Debra bends down obediently and put his little head in front of his master. Zhou Ye After a few whispers in her ear...Debra turned and walked out with a few swordsmen.

It didn't take long for them to walk in with two small wooden boxes exactly like the ones they had just given to Jacques...

”One of the boxes is your eldest daughter Catherine's relocation allowance. The extra box, even if it is given to you by me... is regarded as your compensation. After all-you have lost all your children...” Zhou Ye said with a smile.

”This...this...” Jacques looked at the two boxes of gold that had to be placed on the ground in front of him because he was afraid that the old dining table could not bear too much weight...the struggle was repeated in his mind...

In the end-he lowered his head deeply... He knew that he could not refuse such temptation and temptation... He acquiesced to Zhou Ye's statement.

Seeing Jacques's movements, Zhou Ye smiled slightly...
