Struggle in Russia

Viscount Prozolov thought for a while and finally decided to go see Petrovna. Although Grand Duke Constantine has no desire for Ukraine for the time being, who guarantees that he will not have the opportunity to make a comeback in Ukraine in the future?

It doesn't cost much to keep a few dark stones there as a long-term investment, but they will come in handy at critical moments, so why not?

"Beautiful lady, what kind of wind has brought you to Chisinau? Your presence makes this humble house shine!"

Viscount Prozolov kissed the back of Petrovna's hand gracefully, looking very enthusiastic. Those who didn't know it thought he was welcoming Petrovna!

It's just that Petrovna is familiar with his nature, and sitting in the drawing room waiting all afternoon can actually explain the other person's attitude.

If the other party really welcomed her so much, why didn't he explain it to the housekeeper in advance? How could he let her wait stupidly.

But she didn't care. Viscount Prozolov was by no means the first aristocrat to turn his back on others and be ruthless. She had seen too many such people. It could be said that almost everyone in the aristocracy was like this. They are all scumbags.

Accompanying the scumbag, giving in, and getting what everyone wants is exactly what a social butterfly like her does and how to survive. Whether she can hold these scumbags and drain their pockets is what she should be concerned about.

So she put on a smile and chatted with her for a few words, and the two of them tacitly put the slightly unpleasant experience behind them. They chatted all over the place, talking about Kiev and Chisinau respectively. After some interesting things, we slowly got to the main topic.

"Your Excellency, I heard that His Highness the Grand Duke has been in a bit of a difficult situation recently?"

Viscount Prozolov's eyelids twitched. Petrovna's use of this as a preface probably meant that she had come with bad intentions. Could it be that this woman intended to raise her own value by deliberately lowering the price?

He smiled disapprovingly and said: "It's just some thieves causing trouble. They are just a bunch of local chickens and dogs. They will be crushed into powder as soon as the army arrives."

"That's good," Petrovna said with a smile without trying to expose him, "I have been worried about the safety of Your Highness and you, and worried that those rogue gangs would threaten your safety. It seems that I am unfounded and have long hair and short knowledge. !”

Viscount Prozolov's cheeks twitched involuntarily because he felt that Petrovna had something in her words or was implying something.

"Thank you for your concern," he replied calmly, "but madam, why did you suddenly come to Moldavia? Are you here for a trip or to visit friends?"

Now it was Petrovna's turn to vomit in her heart: It's nothing more than telling lies with your eyes open, right? Now that Moldavia is in chaos, who in the right mind would come to travel at this time? As for visiting friends, do you really think we are friends? Nonsense!

However, she knew that Viscount Prozolov did it on purpose, probably to test her purpose. To be honest, Petrovna didn’t really want to come to Chisinau because it was too chaotic and dangerous. The last experience After that, she cherished her life very much. It was not because she had no choice but to not risk her life.

What's more, she has now regained her former glory in Kiev. With Li Xiao's connections secretly taking care of her, she has swept away the previous haze and started to stir up trouble in the entertainment scene again.

Li Xiao specially ordered her to come this time, otherwise do you think she wants to come?

"It's both a visit to friends and a business trip." Petrovna replied calmly.

Viscount Prozolov has no interest in visiting friends. Even if Petrovna had friends in Moldavia before, most of those friends have now become wanted criminals, and there is little difference between them.

I'm afraid that business is the real purpose, so he was surprised, why did this woman with long sleeves and good dancing suddenly start doing business? And he still went to Moldavia to do business, there must be something to it!

"Oh?" Viscount Prozolov said deliberately and asked in a slightly higher tone: "Do you still have friends in Chisinau? You should introduce them to me. Since His Highness has been in charge of Moldavia, There has been a lack of capable manpower... Since I am your friend, madam, I can also be considered one of my own... What does this friend of yours do? Are you interested in helping His Highness?"

How could Petrovna not see that 90% of what she said was false? Don’t be stupid if you think he really wants to promote your friend. He is actually trying to get information to find out what her so-called friend is. Who is he?

Petrovna is not stupid. How could she be easily tricked? She just smiled and said: "My friend is not interested in politics and has no ability. I'm afraid I can't help His Highness... We are just working together." Just start a small business and earn some hard-earned money."

Viscount Prozolov looked at her suspiciously, not believing her words. What kind of business owners can do business in Moldavia under such circumstances these days? Do you really think he doesn't know?

It doesn’t matter, there is no backend, but you want to do business? That's a dream!

Take Chisinau as an example. Those who are still able to open a good shop and do business must have long ago bowed to Grand Duke Constantine and invested in benefits. Either they have connections in St. Petersburg or have connections with senior military generals such as Duke Mikhail. To put it bluntly, they are their white gloves.

As for outside Chisinau, if you have nothing to do with the rebels, it will be difficult for you to do anything, let alone do business, and you will not be able to save your life.

Viscount Prozolov was curious about what kind of power could do business with Petrovna. If he could figure out who was behind the other party, he could generally figure out what Petrovna was doing in the past few months. What kind of force is it related to?

He was not so stupid as to think that Petrovna had just escaped by luck. Such a big case, even Grand Duke Constantine was confused, but she, a mere courtesan who betrayed her lust, was able to save her life. If you say there is nothing fishy, ​​who will believe it?

The reason why Viscount Prozolov alienated Petrovna afterwards was because he was wary. He was worried that this woman had defected to other forces. Once she became an enemy spy, it would be like inviting a wolf into the house.

"It's just a little grain business," Petrovna replied with a smile, "It's just a small business, transporting a little grain from Ukraine and Belarus to Moldavia for sale, and making some hard-earned money!"

Viscount Prozolov sighed in his heart. He felt more and more that Petrovna was not simple, because no ordinary person could do the grain business nowadays, because without a good relationship, not even a grain of grain could enter Molda. Via!
