Struggle in Russia

Petrovna naturally saw that Viscount Prozolov was a dog-faced person. Not only did he change his face when he was told, but he also looked down on others. But this time, she was definitely going to make him change his face again. .

Petrovna said slowly and unhurriedly: "I came to Chisinau this time mainly because the Grand Duchess heard that there was a famine here. She, who was always considerate of the people, was very worried and ordered me to come and investigate. situation, and trying to raise funds to provide relief to the victims. The food business is just a side job during my trip."

Viscount Prozolov's smile immediately stopped. Grand Duchess Elena was most keen on charity, which was well known to everyone. No matter where a disaster strikes, the Grand Duchess is always the first to raise funds to help the victims.

It is her style that Petrovna came to investigate the situation on her behalf and try to raise funds. As for what someone said about side jobs later, well, just listen. You must not take this so-called side job seriously, otherwise you will be asking for it. It's humiliating.

"I see."

Viscount Prozolov laughed dryly twice and said insincerely: "The Grand Duchess's loving heart is known to the whole country. The victims of Moldavia who are suffering from the chaos will definitely be able to escape the danger with the care of the Grand Duchess. Good luck...and the good deeds of the Grand Duchess will also move heaven and send blessings, including the Grand Duchess's health and happiness..."

Viscount Prozolov said a lot of flattery, but Petrovna listened very disapprovingly. She had heard too many such hypocritical lies recently, and almost every one of them had to slap him as usual. It was as if the Grand Duchess could hear it.

Although she didn't have much contact with the Grand Duchess, she didn't particularly understand her feelings. But she could tell that the Grand Duchess actually didn't believe a word of this. Rather than flattering her, it would be better to donate more money to leave a good impression on her.

The Grand Duchess was most disgusted with those guys who talked a lot but ended up with nothing. She would always find ways to tease and tease them, and would only give up after squeezing the wealth out of their pockets.

Anyway, the virtuous Viscount Prozolov is definitely the key target of the Grand Duchess, and he might lose some of his skin. Petrovna was happy to see Viscount Prozolov suffer a loss, after all, they still had unsettled accounts last time.

But there was no need to rush, because the top priority was to fulfill the Grand Duchess's instructions. Petrovna knew very well who was her boss at the moment, so she just thought about it and put those little thoughts aside for the time being. She was serious. said:

"In addition to helping the victims, Madam is also very concerned about the problems of wounded soldiers and insufficient hospitals. She is especially heartbroken to learn that many frontline soldiers died in hospitals due to lack of treatment!"

"My lady asked me to try to establish several regular hospitals in Moldavia and Wallachia to ensure that our great warriors receive the care they deserve. In this regard, His Highness the Grand Duke will need to cooperate with you."

Viscount Prozolov felt sorry for Grand Duke Konstantin's wallet for three seconds. With such an aunt on the stand, she could only give away money deliberately. He knew how tight Grand Duke Constantine's wallet was now. Most of the money he had obtained before had been put in because of the rebellion. Although the recently confiscated noble assets had brought him back some blood, most of them had been confiscated. Demi Terry, Kanditantin Pobedonostsev, Duke Mikhail and Li Xiao were watching, and it was difficult for him to make money casually.

Now Grand Duchess Elena has made it clear that she wants to sponsor for alms. It’s not enough if she doesn’t give. It’s just a leaky house and it’s been raining for days!

"Okay, I will convey the Grand Duchess's request to His Highness the Grand Duke. I believe that His Highness the Grand Duke will help the Grand Duchess implement these good deeds as soon as possible."

However, for Viscount Prozolov, it was not out of his pocket anyway, so he naturally did not feel distressed. After feeling a little distressed for Grand Duke Constantine, he generously expressed his willingness to convey the news.

But he was still a little strange. If it was just for these things, Petrovna didn't need to find him. She could go directly to the Governor's Palace. With the protection of Grand Duchess Elena, she could go to the Governor's Palace and the headquarters, not to mention the Governor's Palace. It's all going smoothly, so why bother asking him to convey it?

Of course there is a reason for this, because Petrovna immediately said: "Okay, that's all. Oh, by the way, Your Majesty the Viscount, what about the grain business?"

Only then did Viscount Prozolov suddenly realize that he had such a big circle of emotions and you, this woman, are waiting for me here!

If Petrovna directly talks about the grain business with Viscount Prozolov under the banner of Grand Duchess Elena, then the latter may not completely believe it, and will try to lower the price to make a name for herself. But after Petrovna laid out the so-called business first, and then talked about the grain business, it was completely different.

That circle of business suppressed Viscount Prozolov's arrogance and petty thoughts, preventing him from making trouble out of nothing. So at this moment, facing the ghostly Petrovna, he had nothing to do but be itching with hatred.

He laughed dryly and said: "Okay, I will say hello, but you should also understand that this kind of business is not so easy to do even with the name of a Grand Duchess. There are some expenses that should be paid, and things that should be taken care of... You should know!"

Petrovna smiled and said: "Of course, I understand the rules. As long as it is within a reasonable range, I have no objection and will definitely do business in a disciplined manner. But if some people don't follow the rules, then you can't watch it. Leave it alone! After all, my business is a small one, and the big boss has to support the Grand Duchess’s charity! You can’t let me lose all my money!”

Viscount Prozolov was choked again. He glanced up and down at Petrovna again and found that this woman seemed to be getting more and more difficult to deal with.

Sighing, he replied dejectedly: "As long as you do business properly, no one will dare to do it, at least no one will dare to do it in Moldavia! Is this guarantee enough?"

Petrovna suddenly smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Your Excellency, Viscount!" Then she took out a small envelope and handed it over, which made Viscount Prozolov confused:

"What's this?"

Petrovna laughed again and said: "Of course there are rules! As I said just now, I definitely have rules here. I will trouble you more, Viscount, in the future, so please be more careful!"

Viscount Prozolov glanced at the amount of the check in the envelope. It was indeed quite regular, no more, no less, just within the rules. This gave him a feeling of powerlessness and weirdness. He felt that Petrovna It's getting more and more dangerous...
