Chapter 1278 Though physically disabled, he was a man of unparalleled loyalty and righteousness.
Uncle Qing said with a smile in a soft voice.
"It's not going too smoothly. The former head of the family, Duke James Garcia, has a rather bad temper. Not only does he refuse to acknowledge the debt, but he also refuses to recognize the Murdoch brothers' identities."
So the old servant barged in during their family meeting, subdued James, and asked the others who could fulfill the bet. Whoever agreed to fulfill the bet, the old servant would have James pass on his dukedom and the position of head of the family to that person.
As a result, James's younger brother, Vicki, received the title of head of the family and a duke, and he was very trustworthy, settling his gambling debts.
Arthur, listening to his subordinates' report, turned pale and even trembled slightly.
Arthur stammered to Da Bao.
“My brother, your butler is amazing! He stormed into the Garcia family’s vineyard with his bare hands, killed seventeen guards, barged into the family meeting, forced Duke James to pass on his title and the position of head of the family to Vicky Garcia, and then strangled James. In the end, the Garcia family had no choice but to settle all the gambling debts.”
Everyone was surprised and looked up at the thin and frail Uncle Qing. They saw the little braid with a coin-shaped tail at the back of his head. This old man was the Chinese man they remembered. They never expected him to be so powerful. It was really beyond their expectations.
Zuo Wenbin said softly to Da Bao.
"Da Bao, your servant must be from the palace, right? He seems to hold a high position there."
Dabao smiled and nodded.
"Uncle Qing was originally the head eunuch of the Imperial Horse Administration, on par with Li Lianying. After the Manchu imperial family was driven out of the Forbidden City, he served the young emperor in Changchun. Upon discovering that the young emperor was colluding with the Japanese, he was enraged and killed General Hirata Saburo, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, before escaping."
The Japanese sent high-ranking ninjas to hunt him down. The chase lasted for thousands of miles. Finally, in Lingnan, Uncle Qing killed the ninja, but was severely wounded and fell into the river. He was rescued by a boat owner surnamed Guo. To repay his kindness, Uncle Qing willingly sold himself into slavery.
Later I went to Hong Kong, and for various reasons, Uncle Qing eventually came with me.
Zuo Wenbin sighed deeply. Although the eunuch was physically disabled, he was a man of unparalleled loyalty and righteousness. Based on his actions alone, he had already surpassed the vast majority of healthy people in the world.
Zuo Wenbin treated Uncle Qing with great courtesy, but Uncle Qing went about his business as usual, not thinking that chasing debts across three countries was anything special.
He takes care of Nuannuan's food, clothing, shelter and transportation every day. When he misses Niuniu, he asks Dabao to let him go inside to play with Niuniu for a while. He lives a pretty comfortable life like this.
After spending more than ten days in Austria, Zuo Wenbin finally recovered. News also came from Henry: he had assembled a medical team comprised entirely of top international thoracic surgeons, ready to perform surgery as soon as Zuo Wenbin arrived in the United States.
Sofia was overjoyed to hear the news, but there were no flights from Austria to the United States, and if she wanted to take a plane, she would have to go to Paris.
Da Bao laughed heartily. It was perfect timing to go to Paris and find Orleans and the others to reclaim the family property. Daisley sighed. Over this period of time, he had come to understand Da Bao's temperament very well. If his father bossed Da Bao around and looked down on him, his fate would probably be the same as James Garcia's.
After all, they were father and son. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't bear to watch his father die. He sent his father a telegram with more than fifty words in it. He earnestly begged his father to hand over the royal property and return it to Aunt Sofia, or else he would bear the consequences.
This is the difference between English and Chinese. English vocabulary is extremely limited; a single word can have several meanings. Sometimes the writer means one thing, but the reader interprets it differently.
Unlike our profound and extensive Chinese language, which has more swear words than English words.
The Duke of Orléans was pleased to receive his son's telegram. Although his son was rebellious, he had to admit that he was more capable than the other eight sons.
But when he opened the telegram, he was so angry he almost fainted. This wasn't a telegram; it was clearly a declaration of war!
Enraged, the Duke of Orléans tore the telegram to shreds and beat the servant who delivered it. He immediately sent a telegram summoning his three brothers and two sisters to Paris, and also paid a large sum of money to bring his two uncles along.
Although his son didn't explain it very clearly, it's true that the Duke of Orléans was a very cautious man; he never fought a battle he wasn't sure of winning.
Athena and Edward were overjoyed. This was Athena's first time riding a train in her life. She clapped her hands and sang the whole time, her silvery voice echoing throughout the carriage.
However, Da Bao had already booked the entire luxury carriage, so only family members could hear the singing.
A group of men sat at the bar, drinking red wine and chatting. Princess Sofia held her daughter and son, her face beaming with a satisfied smile.
Pregnant women are prone to drowsiness, and so are babies. Zuo Mingyue and Nuannuan were fast asleep on the thick carpet in the private room, their heads resting on the little tiger pillow. The little tiger was already used to it; it lay down, revealing its soft belly. This was Zuo Mingyue and Nuannuan's special pillow.
The little white wolf stood nearby, vigilantly watching its surroundings; it was a very competent guard.
The men and Susanna couldn't help but applaud as they listened to Athena's singing, Susanna said.
"My cousin has such a beautiful singing voice, she could become a singer someday."
When Athena heard her cousin say that, she jumped over excitedly.
"Is it okay, cousin? Can I really do it?"
Susanna nodded seriously.
Da Bao beckoned Athena over. He was slightly drunk; red wine mixed with spirits does make one more prone to intoxication, and he hadn't used any spatial cheating artifacts.
"After you pass Athena, your brother-in-law will give you a gift."
As he spoke, he took out a small gourd filled with water from a spirit well.
"The most important thing about singing is your voice. In two years, you will enter a period of voice change. You need to keep this water in your mouth for the next couple of days. If you drink all the water, you will no longer have a period of voice change."
Regardless of whether they are boys or girls, they will enter puberty around the age of twelve or thirteen. Most children will experience a decline in their voice, which is a fatal blow to children with good voices. Da Bao has given his sister-in-law a huge surprise.
"And you can keep singing. When we get to Paris, I'll find a good music teacher to teach you. I'll give you three years. If you still decide to sing when you're twelve, I'll start a music company for you and make you famous."
