Chapter 774 Giving Birth to One Hundred Children

The conversation with Lyudmila lasted for more than an hour.

During this period, most of the topics discussed were serious.

However, at the end, Lyudmila never mentioned why she came to Longdong.

Bai Yu intuitively felt that her purpose of coming here was not pure, not just to protect Cordelia's safety.

There must be other missions.

The church has no ability to send saints to act. What can make the saints act is probably their own sense of responsibility and mission.

…

When it was time to get off the boat, the two parties had to say goodbye temporarily.

Cordelia hugged Bai Yu's arm and was reluctant to let go, but she could not disobey Lyudmila's order and left with a look back every three steps.

She lived in the church of Longdong.

Longdong is also a country with a combination of politics and religion.

As a neighboring country, Longdong also has a large number of believers of the Holy Church, but Longdong will never allow the Roman Church to reach out to its territory.

Therefore, the approach taken by the royal family is relatively simple, that is, to open up beliefs and allow any belief to take root, even if it is some unconventional or gods that have been proven dead in history.

The denomination that the royal family believes in is called Protestantism... The number of denominations is so large that it can be said that there are hundreds of schools of thought.

The Holy Church also exists here, but because of Protestantism, its influence is not great.

The biggest difference between Protestantism and the Holy Church is that the subjects of belief are different and the holders of religious authority are different.

The former is the Queen of Midwinter, and the latter is the Roman Emperor.

As a saint, Cordelia naturally cannot run around at will and must stay inside the church of the Holy Church.

This is not a dispute of faith, but it is obvious that Midwinter is also very close to these outsiders.

On the other hand, Baiyu is much more relaxed. At least you can go sightseeing at will without worrying that Midwinter's capital is as high-pressure as Pyongyang.

Donghuang Group has also been cultivating Midwinter for several years.

Bai Potian shifted his focus to the market here two years ago, and he did not hesitate to set foot in Longdong to develop the market here. In his opinion, Longdong is a hot commodity. Whoever has the ability to open up the market will be able to get the first bite of the crab.

However, the market in Longdong is not a market dominated by the free economy. Its various industries and cakes have long been divided up by the nobles. If you rush into this market, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction and turmoil in many aspects.

Bai Potian is a saint, and the nobles are not satisfied with him, but they dare not attack him, for fear that this Eastern Ten Evils will play a game of elimination with the nine clans; but market behavior, only force is not enough. The nobles control the upper, middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain, and it is very simple to block Bai Potian's business strategy.

Therefore, to break through the nobles, you still have to start from within the nobles.

So Melusina's next sentence became logical.

Bai Yu asked, "Where to go next?"

Melusina smiled and replied: "Your fiancée's home."

Bai Yu: "?"

"Grandpa designated it."

"Designated?" Bai Yu frowned: "You didn't even ask for my opinion?"

"Grandpa may be sure that you will like that girl when you see her."

"You think too much."

Bai Yu shook his head. He didn't really fall in love with every girl he met.

Dormitory 303 cannot be considered a normal situation. If he hadn't personally gone there five hundred years ago and experienced life and death together and had an emotional foundation, how could he have made a move on Jeanne, and how could he have brought back the entire dormitory.

Melusina smiled lightly and said: "I know you are dissatisfied with arranged marriages, but you still have to go. You can't embarrass the Laurennin family, right?"

...

Afterwards, from Melusina's introduction, Bai Yu learned about the situation of this 'Laurnin family'.

As for the granddaughter-in-law that the old man had been thinking about, he actually had a satisfactory candidate in his mind.

When Bai Potian came here to expand the market, he also needed connections.

If he wanted to develop industries along the aristocratic route, he would definitely need to support an aristocratic family, which was the simplest way.

After careful selection, the current Laurennin family was the focus.

The Laurennin family migrated from Rome, and was considered a semi-refugee family. They had been rooted in Longdong for more than 400 years.

It was just that the Laurennin family lacked sufficient help and support. After getting the support of Bai Potian, it grew rapidly in just a few years.

Bai Potian sent all kinds of wealth, resources, etc. in the name of betrothal gifts... On the surface, he was asking for Laurennin's daughter Ilsa Laurennin to marry his grandson...

But in fact, this marriage was more like an exchange of interests, a marriage based on interests.

It didn't matter whether Bai Yu liked Ilsa or not. As long as she was the fiancée, Donghuang had a reason to continue to transfuse blood.

Even if Bai Yu eventually married another woman, it didn't mean that the marriage contract between the two parties was abandoned.

After all, Longdong and Rome did not share the same marriage law.

After sorting out the logic in this regard, Bai Yu felt complicated.

"The old man is really a fox."

"Hasn't Her Majesty Lyudmila already commented that Grandpa is a cunning businessman? Her comment is correct."

"I just didn't expect that even this engagement itself is a fraud." Bai Yu sighed: "Although I don't need to care too much, I still feel a little uncomfortable."

"The Laurennin family needs this title, so Grandpa gave it to them, and there is nothing to be offended about. Elsa Laurennin is also well-known in the noble circle in midwinter, and you may not dislike her." Melusina said comfortingly.

Bai Yu was not unhappy, but felt that calculating was very tiring, there were too many tricks, and the city was full of tricks, so he wanted to go back to the countryside.

He asked: "Sister, do you also want me to marry this Laurennin?"

"As long as you are willing, I will support you in everything you do." Melusina was as doting as ever.

Bai Yu held her hand and kissed her lips: "What if I want to propose to my sister?"

Melusina showed a little surprise and pause at this question, as if a long scrolling light of a lifetime was revolving in her mind in an instant. Then she lowered her eyes, smiled charmingly, and said affirmatively: "At that time, I will gladly accept it."

She pulled out her hand and gently smoothed the wrinkles on Bai Yu's collar: "But now, we are still siblings... You should tidy up your clothes, show your best side, and go to meet your fiancée, just for the initial capital investment of Donghuang."

Listening to this coaxing tone, Bai Yu sighed helplessly.

Melusina smiled and let go of her hand, turned around and said she wanted to go to the bathroom.

She came to the bathroom and locked the door.

Holding the hand that had just been kissed, her lips pressed against the kissed position.

Breathing rapidly, the whole body was hot, just at that moment, she almost lost control.

She was not as calm, calm, intellectual and elegant as she looked on the surface.

She wanted to press him on the table until he begged for mercy, twice in a row.

In the bathroom, there was a sound of water dripping.

Her fingers were stained with water from unknown sources, and Melusina took out a tissue to wipe her fingers.

Her self-control was getting worse day by day.

"Bad brother..."

She licked her lips: "How can I bear it if you say so?"

Melusina suppressed the dark desire in her heart, thinking silently, if you really propose, then I must give you ten children; if you don't dare, then don't blame me for secretly giving birth to a hundred.

...

In the dead of winter, all nobles have big houses, which are not only their residences, but also the venues for banquets. It is rumored that there are at least five places holding dinners between nobles every day in the dead of winter, and the food, clothing and expenses are all blood, sweat and money.

Noble manor, Laurennin's house.

There is no banquet or hospitality today.

There is tension on the family meeting table.

It is not uncommon for nobles to kill each other, because there is only one position for the heir and one position for the head of the family.

The Luolangning family is not a family with few people. On the contrary, it has everything that a noble family should have.

The family head faction and the elders' council constitute the dual power of the Luolangning family.

Originally, with the support of Bai Potian, the Luolangning family developed rapidly, but correspondingly, due to the strength of the family head faction, the power of the other faction gradually decreased. In order to make up for this part of the lack, some family elders chose to join forces with other nobles.

Bai Potian represents the Donghuang family and the Roman forces, and some nobles are not happy to see him support the Luolangning family through marriage, and then enter Longdong to break the nobles' monopoly on the Longdong market.

If it is just to maintain a balance, it will not lead to a tit-for-tat scene at the family meeting.

The starting point of the conflict is that... the head of the Luolangning family disappeared not long ago.

The only legitimate daughter left by the head of the family is Ilsa Luolangning.

So a meeting began around the issue of inheritance.

Inheriting the position of the head of the family means holding power.

Some people support Ilsa to inherit the position of the head of the family, so there will naturally be opposition... The opposition supports the head of the family's younger brother, that is, Ilsa's uncle.

A fierce quarrel broke out between the two sides, and no standard conclusion has been reached to this day.

At today's family meeting, the elders of the two factions were arguing so hard that they were almost fighting.

Until one of the elders said angrily: "Ilsa will get married sooner or later. She has already made an engagement with the young master of the Bai family. How can she inherit the position of the head of the family!"

Originally, this engagement was the strongest bond between the two parties, but now it has become a weapon for the other party to attack.

The elders of the head of the family faction had to stop fighting.

They couldn't make up their minds about this.

They supported the head of the family because Bai Potian and Donghuang Group stood behind the head of the family faction, but this did not mean that they were willing to hand over the family to Donghuang.

"Then cancel the engagement."

Sitting in the position of the head of the family and acting as the head of the family, Ilsa spoke.

In front of all the elders, she repeated in a resounding voice: "When the other party comes, I will personally explain and cancel this engagement!"
