    The black carriage drove on the bumpy, muddy and dirty streets, and bursts of stench continued to float into the carriage, making people feel like vomiting.

    "These damn refugees have made Lisbon a mess. The American crown prince was right. Instead of begging and committing crimes here, it's better to make them somewhat useful."

    Viscount Ed and his wife were sitting in the carriage, looking out through the carriage window, with expressions of disgust on their faces.

    "That bastard is very popular today. I really can't believe why His Highness from America has taken a fancy to this useless guy."

    The fat wife of Viscount Ed said in a very unkind and disdainful tone.

    ¡°I have to say that Ed is a very strange parent. The whole family is so ¡®round¡¯, and even his children have inherited this excellent gene.

    Withdrawing his gaze, Viscount Ed looked at his wife.

    "No matter what, he is also my son, with my Ed's blood flowing in his body, and it will be good for our entire family if he is favored by the prince and works for him. In this case, I hope you will stop talking about it."

    How could Viscount Ed know what his wife was thinking.

    She has always disliked her son and has long wanted to get rid of him.

    She has even made an agreement with herself that as soon as the little fat boy reaches adulthood, he will be kicked out of the house.

    I originally agreed, because the little fat man couldn't see any ability at all, instead of raising a waste at home, it was better to let him die.

    What he didn¡¯t expect was that the little fat man actually made him confused today.

    It seems that I have always underestimated this son.

    His mind has changed. How could his wife not notice it?

    In her opinion, the threat of this little fat man has greatly increased.

    The solemn words Viscount Ed just said can already explain the problem.

    "He is just a bastard. Although he has the blood of your Ed family, don't forget that the other half of his body comes from the dirty peasant woman."

    Viscount Ed didn¡¯t want to argue with his wife about this matter because there was no need.

    She became even more crazy when she saw that her husband ignored her and even closed his eyes.

    "Why, do you want to change your attitude towards that bastard? But don't forget how we have treated him for so many years. Do you think it is enough to do something to make up for it now?"

    She suppressed the panic and anger in her heart and spoke word by word to Viscount Ed.

    When Viscount Ed heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

    Yes, his wife is right. He has been indifferent to his son for so many years.

    Now that she suddenly becomes nice to him, even a fool would know why.

    Wouldn¡¯t it be too embarrassing for you to do this?

    Viscount Ed couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

    ¡°It¡¯s not wrong that the prince took a fancy to this son, but no one can say what level his son will be able to achieve.

    Just because of this, he rushes to lick his shoes. How can he behave if word of this spreads out?

    Otherwise, take a look first.

    ¡°After all, I am his father. Even if the relationship is bad and he gets along well later, I can still talk to him.

    Soon, Viscount Ed made a decision in his heart.

    When his wife saw the change in Viscount Ed's expression, she knew that what she just said had an effect, because she sneered in her heart.

    She knows her husband¡¯s character very well.

    "If I were you, I would wait and see first. If he is really capable, it would not be too late for you to shamelessly stick to him. After all, you are his father, and blood is thicker than water."

    The fat woman persuaded her unintentionally.

    At the same time, she decided in her heart that she would kick the little fat man out at night to save him a long night and many dreams.

    She didn¡¯t believe that this bastard in her eyes was as capable as the prince said. Maybe the prince was just a brainiac.

    ¡°Hmph, a person who has always been a waste and a scumbag in the eyes of others is actually regarded as a talent by him. Either he is blind or God is blind.

    The poor little fat man doesn¡¯t know yet that he will become homeless tonight.

    At this moment, the fat little Ed was in the carriage carriage behind, being scolded and ridiculed by his brothers and sisters in turn.Standing.

    But the little fat man didn¡¯t talk back because he knew that talking back would be of no use and would lead to a severe beating.

    His brothers actually just wanted him to talk back and give them an excuse to take action.

    The smart little fat man knows this very well. If so, why would he still be fooled?

    Although the little fat man didn¡¯t know that there is a saying in China that ¡®a gentleman takes revenge, it¡¯s never too late in ten years¡¯, he knew that talking about revenge was a joke when he didn¡¯t have the ability.

    He is confident that with his own ability and knowledge, and the prince's appreciation, he will be able to do well.

    ¡°In a few years, these brothers of his will have no choice but to look up to him.

    When that time comes, hehe.

    Maybe, we should find a time to take the mother out. I want her to see that her son is about to be successful now, right?

    In the heart of little fat boy Ed, he has always cared about his mother very much.

    The allowance of two silver pesos he received every month from Viscount Ed's house was given to his mother every time, and he never spent it.

    ¡°For him, Viscount Ed¡¯s place was not his home at all. His home was a thatched house at the foot of a hill outside Lisbon.

    "Hey, trash, what kind of magic did you use to deceive that prince? We are all very curious about this. How about you come and tell us."

    The little fat man¡¯s sisters also joined in the verbal attack on the little fat man.

    Little Fatty Ed¡¯s head was lowered, and no one noticed that there was deep hatred in his eyes that could not be seen by others.

    He originally had a wonderful childhood life. Although he had no father, his mother loved him very much.

    But his father suddenly appeared and insisted on taking him away from his mother on the pretext that it was inappropriate for a child of a noble family to live outside.

    In order to let herself have a happier life, her mother endured her heartache and gave up on herself.

    But what she never imagined was that her life after being taken back by Viscount Ed would not be as beautiful as what Viscount Ed said or as her mother imagined.

    To Viscount Ed, he is like a dog. To be precise, he may be worse than a dog.

    The carriage drove out of Lisbon and began to drive along the bumpy road to the Viscount Aide's manor on the outskirts.

    No one knew that something would happen to Viscount Ed's family tonight, and this incident would make Viscount Ed regret it all his life until his death, and it would also make the little fat man's brothers and sisters unable to let go.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If I could

    "I'm going to meet His Highness the Prince tomorrow. I talked with him about the sugar business today, and he promised to supply me with 20,000 tons of sugar every year, exclusively."

    In another place, Viscount Megan and his wife were also having a conversation. He told his thin wife about his contact with Zhao Hongyu during the day.

    "Thank God, if this business deal can be successfully negotiated, the situation at home can get better."

    His wife was very happy after hearing this.

    "Haha, we will definitely be able to negotiate. Today, we have just made initial contact and have made an intention. Moreover, the Crown Prince also wants to establish a concession here, so he needs my help, doesn't he?"

    Megan feels that today is completely her lucky day.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Not to mention that his family and Viscount Ed and others jointly built two ships to do maritime business, in fact, the money they earned was not enough for their expenses.

    The reason is simple, aristocratic life is too expensive.

    For the sake of face, they can¡¯t reduce their expenses, they can only make a fool of themselves.

    Who knows that Viscount Megan, the top administrator of Lisbon, already owes a big Jewish businessman in Madrid 80,000 silver pesos.

    The notice regarding the repayment has been issued. If you don¡¯t repay the money, they will take action against you.

    The Jewish businessman was very energetic and knew many powerful nobles.

    And the Spanish royal family also borrowed money from that big businessman.

    It is simply not something that a small noble like myself can handle.

    Fortunately, the Jewish businessmen of this era were lending money at usury, but compared to later generations, they were really childish.

    The interest on the loan is 10% and the term is one year.

    Is this considered loan sharking?

    If Zhao Hongyu were here, he would probably die laughing.??

    "Nine outs and thirteen returns, one period is ten days, and the interest rates are going to be increased, so they can't be fooled to death."

    Of course, this will all happen when the American gangs ravage Europe in the future. The nobles on the European continent have not yet been exposed to such inhumane rules.

    "You know, when I see those snow-white sugars, it's like seeing white silver coins." Viscount Megan said to his wife excitedly.

    His wife nodded: "That's true. That kind of white sugar tastes very good. Compared with the kind of sugar we eat now, it's like a gift from heaven."

    "Yes, this is God's gift to us. With these sugar businesses, I can get rid of the debt crisis and let the family rise again." Viscount Megan looked at his wife seriously and said.  "We can also live a more prosperous life, and I don't have to hang around with those rich women all day long."

    Speaking of this, Viscount Megan looked at his wife and showed an apologetic look.

    It turns out that Viscount Megan is fooling around with the rich women outside for the sake of his family.

    It¡¯s really unbelievable to say this.

    But that¡¯s the truth.

    It really seems like a fantasy when you say it.

    "Soon, we won't have to live like this anymore." Viscount Megan's wife reached over, held his hand and comforted him softly

    Europe, Europe, there were so many things that were incomprehensible in Europe in the seventeenth century.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
