Chapter 181 The Past of the Golden Rose Family

After dinner, Tang En went to Aubrey to ask Hilton's concerns directly.

"The Golden Rose Family?"

Aubrey was startled for a moment, and a trace of nostalgia flashed across his face: "Of course I know..."

"Then, can you tell me why the Golden Rose family's original shop became the property of the Foel family?"

"Why are you so concerned about the Golden Rose family?"

Aubrey looked at Tang En: "...don't tell me that you are the illegitimate son of the patriarch of the Golden Rose family."

"You think too much."

Tang En said unceremoniously: "I took in a member of the Golden Rose family, and now she helps me manage the territory and the Chamber of Commerce, so I have to figure this out."

Aubrey looked away and said in a low voice: "It's a girl..."

"How did you know?"

Aubrey's voice was a little bitter: "Of course I know, the only heir to the Golden Rose family, Fiona Golden Rose."

"Do you know her?" Tang En frowned slightly, "It seems there are many stories in this?"

"To put it simply, it is still a matter of factional struggle..."

Aubrey sighed: "The Golden Rose family is a family of businessmen. You should already know that, right?"

After seeing Tang En nod, Aubrey continued: "Then do you know the difference between the royal faction and the aristocratic faction?"

Tang En pondered for a moment, thinking about the missions he had done in the game, trying to find some clues, but unfortunately, he could not find any really useful clues.

It has been a few months since I came to this world, and the development trajectory of this world has become increasingly different from that of the game on Earth. I am afraid that many of the previous experiences cannot be applied.

"Let me tell you straight."

Aubrey stopped playing charades with Tang En. After taking a sip of tea, he said in a deep voice: "The biggest difference is that the royal faction controls the military, while the aristocratic faction controls the economy."

After hearing Aubrey's words, a flash of lightning seemed to flash through his mind, and Tang En's doubts were instantly solved: "You mean, Golden Rose's last choice will break the balance, so she is unlucky?"

"That's right."

Aubrey looked out the window, his eyes a little distracted, and Tang En also looked over.

Today is the middle of the month. Pink Red Moon Lolita and Blue Moon Lolita hang together in the sky. The blurred colors make the whole city hazy and dreamy. Every time I see these two moons, Tang En It will be more clear that you have arrived in another world, and you will deeply experience a sense of loneliness.

"The royal faction and the aristocratic faction have been in a stalemate for many years. The previous majesty, His Majesty Victor's father, failed to curb the power of the aristocratic faction. The same is true for the current majesty Victor."

"Although the Royal Faction has mastered the military power, the huge military expenditure means that the Royal Faction has no spare power to deal with the Noble Faction except to maintain stable rule. What's more, the Royal Family also needs the taxes of the Nobles to support the army."

"The same is true for the noble faction. They control the economic lifeline of the empire, and their influence has penetrated into all aspects. If they cannot be killed at once, their counterattack will be as crazy as the cultists. Fortunately, they cannot control the military power."

"It is precisely because of this that the two sides are in a state of balance."

"The Golden Rose family was originally just a neutral chamber of commerce. They had no intention of joining the factional struggle, so they were all at peace with each other. However, a chance..."

At this point, Aubrey's expression became complicated: "I saved Mr. Edward's family."

"Mr. Edward?"

"Fiona's father, the patriarch of the Golden Rose family and the leader of the Chamber of Commerce, Edward Golden Rose."

Aubrey sighed: "Fiona was still a very little girl at that time... so many years have passed in the blink of an eye..."

After hearing this, Tang En basically knew that the Foel family had nothing to do with the destruction of the Golden Rose family, but... with his relationship, how could the Golden Rose family be destroyed?

"Since then, Edward and I have become good friends, and our relationship has become closer and closer. Even...I am Fiona's godfather."

Tang En was stunned: "What!?"

Aubrey said casually: "I was responsible for her baptism. She should have no impression of it, but this is not important. What is important is that because of my relationship with Edward, the Golden Rose family began to lean towards the royal faction, so this It made the aristocracy uneasy."

Tang En nodded to express his understanding that factional struggle is actually normal, but the most important point is that it must be balanced. Once the power of both parties is imbalanced, it will cause a chain reaction.

And the relationship between Aubrey and Edward is undoubtedly the starting point of the chain reaction.

"During a routine nationwide patrol, Adrian and I left Yalinks at the same time, which gave the noble faction an opportunity to take action... I only found out later that when I discovered that the Golden Rose family was leaning towards the royal faction They had already started planning, and after planning for so long, they almost completely eliminated the Golden Rose family in one day!"

A trace of gloom flashed across Aubrey's face: "By the time I got the news and rushed back, it was already too late. Mr. and Mrs. Edward had passed away. Fortunately, I got the news that Fiona was secretly sent away by the two of them. Later, Under the strong suppression of His Majesty Victor and myself, the aristocratic faction gave up and saved the remaining members of the Golden Rose family."

"But if they want to reorganize, it is impossible. The property of the Golden Rose family has been confiscated, looted and occupied by the nobles under various excuses. Fiona lost the property, and she is very young. , were unable to organize at all, and those people dispersed soon after.”

"I originally wanted to take her back, but unfortunately she didn't trust anyone when something like this happened, so I could only send someone to protect her secretly."

Aubrey breathed a sigh of relief: "These years have passed, and she has been safe and sound. I thought everything was over. But just half a year ago, she suddenly disappeared from Alexis, and even my people couldn't Found traces of her... I didn’t expect that she went to your place.”

"This is really..."

Tang En was speechless. If he had known it was such a boring thing, he wouldn't have listened to his nonsense. After saying so much, in short, Fiona's enemies are the aristocrats?

He said so much about something that can be done in just one sentence. Could it be that Aubrey was so full that he had nothing to do, so he deliberately skimped on word count?

Tang En curled his lips: "In other words, you took back this shop later?"

"That's right."

Aubrey spread his hands: "Originally, I wanted to keep it until she grew up and find an excuse to give it to her so that she could have a way of making a living. I didn't expect that you would pop up in the middle and take away the shop. What’s even more unexpected is that Fiona is still with you… Huh?”

At this point, Aubrey suddenly looked at Tang En warily: "Speaking of which, you and Fiona don't have that kind of relationship, right?... Fiona and Elsa... aren't you being honest?"

"Where are you thinking..."

Tang En didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We just have a very pure superior-subordinate relationship, okay?"

"Is the relationship between superiors and subordinates very pure?"

Aubrey scoffed: "People of the same sex are impure, let alone the opposite sex."

"Whatever you say."

Tang En waved his hand: "I'm going back."

After saying that, he went back to the room. After figuring out this matter, he finally understood who Fiona's enemy was.

Hilton was still waiting for Tang En in the room. When she saw Tang En coming back, she immediately came over impatiently. Tang En told her what had happened.

"There is such a thing!?"

Hilton was also stunned. Grand Duke Aubrey Foyle was actually Miss Fiona's godfather! ? And he is also a good friend with President Edward! ? She had never heard of such secret information before!

Tang En said: "This is a good thing, so don't think too much about it. Go back and rest. Tomorrow, take someone with you and let's go to the shop together."

"I know, I'm just happy."

Hilton wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled: "It seems that Miss Fiona has hope for revenge."

"Revenge..."

revenge?

Of course revenge must be avenged.

But it would definitely be better for Tang En to do it than Fiona doing it herself.

Fiona has now stepped out of the shadow of the past, but she still strives to revitalize the Golden Rose family as a goal, which shows that she still has that hatred in her heart.

Killing them directly is not the best way to take revenge.

Aren’t the aristocrats very proud of their economic strength?

Then let Fiona completely crush them financially and make them collapse into despair!

Using their wisdom from the earth and Fiona's business knowledge, the Datang Chamber of Commerce jointly created will surely become a nightmare for the aristocracy!

Destroy what they are most proud of, destroy their confidence, plunge them into collapse, and then kill the mastermind of the original conspiracy...

This kind of revenge tastes the sweetest...

Tang En suddenly shuddered and came back to his senses.

How could he have such dark thoughts... This is not his character...

If the Avenger was him, Tang En thought about it in his mind, and then he realized that doing so was not excessive at all...

I was busy for a while again in the evening. Originally, Tang En planned to be busy all night, but this little guy Ilia came over again. She was not even afraid of the threat of spanking. She shamelessly asked for a hug and let Tang En hold her. sleep.

In desperation, Tang En had to finish the work ahead of schedule, hugged Ilia and coaxed her to sleep.

The next day, after breakfast, Tang En, Elijah, and Elsa went out together, followed Hilton on the carriage, and arrived at the shop in the market area.

The only place in the outer city where you can often see nobles is probably the market area. This is also related to the special nature of the market area. After all, even nobles sometimes buy things.

"right here?"

Tang En stood stunned at the door of the shop.
