Tang Shaozhe, who was a bit strange, saw that Mrs. Carlisle's reaction was obviously wrong, and doubts inevitably arose in his heart.
"Um, ma'am, may I ask, when did Viscount Carlisle die?" After thinking about it, I decided it would be better to use this question to circumvent the situation.
Mrs. Carlisle, who had just been immersed in her personal emotions, had already revealed the answer without any hesitation: "He? Haha, the 13th of the Warm Spring Pastoral Season in the natural calendar year 5118, at 4 o'clock in the morning!"
Calculating the time, Tang Shaozhe found that almost 8 years had passed. Even if the child was still a baby at that time, he should be 8 or 9 years old now, right? How could there be no news at all?
But this time, without waiting for him to ask again, Mrs. Carlisle had already taken the initiative to reveal the answer: "Didn't you ask about the child just now? He died of a serious illness on the 28th of the warm tenth pastoral season in the natural calendar year 5118!"
Tang Shaozhe was stunned almost immediately - doesn't this mean that her son died along with the death of Viscount Carlisle in less than half a month? In other words, is the Viscount Carlisle family extinct?
This time Mrs. Carlisle did not end the original topic immediately, and even added a special sentence later: "I was officially canonized as Mrs. Carlisle by the Grand Duke on the morning of the 23rd of the warm tenth pastoral season in the natural calendar 5118, and the child was 3. The Queen of Heaven is recognized as the new Viscount Carlisle! In two days, he will suffer from an emergency and die."
This timetable was said coldly by Mrs. Carlisle, and Tang Shaozhe was dumbfounded almost immediately. Obviously, this fact has exceeded his imagination. In fact, this feeling is really wrong!
This cold notice obviously lists very critical information, and the dates of several deaths are particularly important.
But judging from Tang Shaozhe¡¯s thoughts, after all, Mrs. Carlisle is the clone of the Great Demon of Hell. How could her child die of illness? It happened to be that kind of emergency, which aroused even more suspicion!
An obviously impossible situation has now happened, and there are too many doubts about it. But now it's hard for Tang Shaozhe to ask a question. After all, the situations involved are all privacy within privacy.
"However, not asking doesn't mean that you don't want to. At least Tang Shaozhe also understands that this must have something to do with the hell demon behind Mrs. Carlisle. Obviously, this would not have happened without the approval of the Great Demon of Hell.
As for why the hell demon did this, there are too many charms in it that Tang Shaozhe can no longer analyze.
I still want to say a few words of comfort, but when I think about it carefully, eight years have passed since this happened, and it¡¯s a mess as to what else is hidden in it, so I¡¯d better keep silent!
In the end, Tang Shaozhe thought for a long time before he forced out a smile and said, "So, madam, you are a typical example of a commoner who entered a noble family and became a noble lady? But doesn't your family still count as a noble?"
Mrs. Carlisle seemed to have gradually come to her senses, slowly getting rid of her original emotions, and sighed: "Well, no matter what the circumstances, my origin is a fact that cannot be changed. Even if I become Mrs. Carlisle, it will not change." They can only be regarded as members of the Carlisle family and have no relationship with my family. Therefore, my family is still a commoner. Even my contact with them must be kept to a minimum. Because this will affect the nobles. The overall reputation, I have to pay attention to!¡±
"Then if you ask me to pretend to be your nephew, won't it affect the overall reputation of the nobles?" Tang Shaozhe didn't understand.
"Of course, this is a normal thing! Even nobles will speak out about their relationships with civilian families. For example, many men from noble families have relationships with women from civilian families. There are also many nobles who have children of such origins. So there is a boundary between nobles and commoners, but you can also grasp this boundary and then expand it."
Tang Shaozhe doesn¡¯t quite understand the meaning of this, especially since the boundary is very vague and he wants to make it clear.
"It's very simple. In fact, noble families can seek some benefits for civilians who are related by relatives. As long as it is not excessive or does not obviously damage the entire situation, it can be tolerated!"
Seeing that Tang Shaozhe still didn't understand the whole concept, Mrs. Carlisle immediately gave many examples: "For example, although the family I come from is a civilian family, I can also give them certain discounts within the scope of my rights and responsibilities. . Including the tax collection of business, the payment of taxes on land output, and the level of family life and interactions, you can all make profits!"
Tang Shaozhe understood a lot immediately: "Is this the case if I pretend to be your nephew this time? But this?If I marry a girl from the Rudolf family who inherits the Flynn family, wouldn't that mean that I also become a noble? Wouldn't this situation touch the boundaries of the entire aristocracy? "
This is not just a random thought on his part. Facing such a huge change in identity, there are too many interests involved. After thinking about it for a moment, I feel that it is likely to cause class pressure and face the possibility of being rejected by the nobles.
But Mrs. Carlisle disagreed: "Yes, this situation has definitely exceeded the limit of interaction between nobles and commoners, but the opportunity for such transcendence is not completely prohibited. As long as we can manage the relationship well, and then ensure that only If you go out of your way this time, you will gain the understanding of the nobles. After all, everyone may need a chance!"
After listening to the entire explanation, Tang Shaozhe immediately understood that this was tantamount to the nobles failing to retain the right of pardon for themselves.
Based on what Mrs. Carlisle said before, among the nobles - especially men, there are always many nobles who can't control their crotch. The overall number of women in the nobility is limited, and God knows how difficult it is to find a suitable partner.
So, it is inevitable that nobles must choose a certain number of women from civilian families. Even though being a wife may not work, the status of concubine or maid can still meet the requirements.
" And no one among them can guarantee that they will not be favored by the nobles. In fact, it is very likely that such a woman of commoner origin will be loved by an aristocratic man. As a result, there have been certain sequelae. Women are not just falling from the sky, or falling out of a stone. They all have families and relatives.
In this case, it is inevitable to give appropriate care to the family and relatives. Even if there are small favors, it still takes big actions to truly change your life.
" If such a big move cannot be recognized by the aristocracy, it will cause a big problem - it does not involve one aristocrat family, but this time it also involves the entire aristocracy.
After Tang Shaozhe understood the explanation given by Mrs. Carlisle, he immediately started a new association: "Then the wife's nephew I pretended to be, does it mean that I have cut off the wife's family's hope of changing their lives?"
"Haha, that's not a serious matter! Anyway, I don't have anyone left in my family, so whatever!"
Hearing her answer, Tang Shaozhe immediately reacted: "Yes, Madam asked me to pretend to be Madam's nephew just now. Why didn't I hear about your brothers and sisters? Doesn't this news have anything to do with them?"
Mrs. Carlisle's voice paused for a moment, then she smiled and said very calmly: "I have no direct family members for a long time. They all died a few days before my son died. Even my nephew is gone. "
Hearing this answer, Tang Shaozhe suddenly felt a chill in his body: Even his family members were all dead?
" If you haven't thought at this moment that this matter must be related to the big devil of hell, Tang Shaozhe doesn't have to mess around anymore.
"Oh, that's it!" So Tang Shaozhe just responded and immediately changed the subject: "In that case, I just use this name and appear in appropriate situations, right?"
Mrs. Carlisle smiled brightly: "Yes, not many people know about this situation at present. But I have obtained the acquiescence of the Grand Duke, so the matter is basically settled. But although not many people know about the Flynn family, But everyone who knows this situation is all targeting the daughter of the Rudolph family! Therefore, you actually have quite a few competitors!"
Tang Shaozhe felt a toothache: It is understandable that to be the heir of a noble family, even if the name is different, at least the blood lineage is the inheritance of his own family. There must be many people vying for such a good opportunity!
"Well, just tell me, what do I need to do?" After much deliberation, it was better to go straight to the topic.
