Struggle in Russia

The information that was found was pitifully small. If it hadn't been for Raffle to check it out personally, Petrovna would have thought it was perfunctory.

She knew that Raffle would never be perfunctory, so the truth was that there was so little information about Merkulova.

Petrovna smiled awkwardly at Viscount Prozolov and said, "At that time, I told Raffle that your third part was nothing more than that, you couldn't even find out information about a woman, what else can you find out..."

After sighing, Petrovna said again: "At that time, Raffle told me that it wasn't that they couldn't do it, but that Merkulova's background was difficult to check. It seemed that someone was covering it up for her. It is impossible for a small gendarme to uncover the truth. He also said that if you want to find out about Merkulova, you must be at least at the level of the head of the third department in Kiev, otherwise it is better not to waste time."

Viscount Prozolov asked, "So you gave up at that time?"

Petrovna shook her head and said, "No, I'm still not reconciled, and I wanted to ask the head of the third department to find Melkulova. But Raffle stopped me."

Petrovna didn't say why Lavre stopped her, but Viscount Prozolov knew what Lavre said. The reason is very simple. It's not easy to find out even the third part if someone behind the scenes can help cover up the past. How could such a woman be so simple.

Once this kind of secret was known by Petrovna, there was only one result. Petrovna was silenced because she knew something she shouldn't know.

Petrovna nodded slightly and said: "Raffle told you about the same thing at the beginning. He said that since someone took great pains to cover up Merkulova, it means that he doesn't want anyone to discover this secret. If he doesn't want to be silenced, it's best It’s good to pretend you know everything.”

Speaking of which, Petrovna sighed and continued: "At that time, I hadn't flattered Count Shuvalov. With my status at the time, if I acted rashly, I'm afraid I would have died without a place to die."

"That's why I've avoided Melkulova since then, and I've stayed away from provoking her. After all, she has a powerful behind-the-scenes boss to take care of her, and she's also fawning on Governor Peter Barek. Certainly not something I can offend."

Viscount Prozolov looked at Petrovna thoughtfully, because he knew that the woman was not telling the whole truth. A smart person like her must know the value of the secret of Melkulova's true identity. The correct way is not to take the initiative to reveal this secret but must master this secret. Maybe this secret will come in handy at some point.

So Viscount Prozolov didn't say anything, just looked at Petrovna silently, as if waiting for the next sentence,

And Petrovna obviously knew what this meant, and after a slight sigh, she said quietly:

"However, I was careful at the time. Although I didn't care about Merkulova for the time being, I have been observing her, especially after I fawned on Count Shuvalov. With the rise of my status, the third part of Kiev will naturally It was giving me face more and more, and then I discovered some interesting situations."

Viscount Prozolov immediately asked, "What interesting situation?"

Petrovna smiled lightly and said, "First of all, I found that the relationship between Merkulova and Peter Barek is very special! I'm afraid they are not the relationship you think in the general sense!"

Viscount Prozolov frowned slightly, full of doubts in his heart: It's not the kind of relationship he thought, what kind of relationship is that?

Petrovna didn't play tricks either, and replied directly: "I found that although Peter Barek was very close to her, and would take her with her in many salons, balls and even theaters, he had never been really intimate. Even many At that time, the salons, balls, and plays were over, and the two of them went to their own homes, but they did not actually live together."

This answer made Viscount Prozolov stunned, because he was too aware of the habits of Russian LSPs. If Merkulova was really Peter Barek's mistress, it would be impossible for them to go back to their respective families unless they were shown to outsiders. Relationships are just a front.

Viscount Prozolov's eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't wait to ask, "What is Peter Barek trying to cover up with Merkulova?"

Petrovna was very satisfied with Viscount Prozolov's reaction. If he didn't even have this ability to respond, Petrovna would have to think about her choice. Obviously, Viscount Prozolov's reaction was very fast, and he knew everything at once.

Petrovna nodded, and continued: "I was very surprised at the time, so I paid more attention to observing how they got along, and then I felt more and more that Peter Barek was inexplicable... You know, a lot of things are done through mistresses. The guy who is covering is actually trying to hide his preference for the same sex... I thought Peter Barek was in the same situation, but then I found out that when he was with other mistresses, he changed back to his normal state, what should be done Whatever you do, you can see that Hua Cong is a veteran."

Viscount Prozolov took a deep breath and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "You mean that Peter Barek is only weird or strange when he gets along with Melkulova, right?"

Petrovna hummed: "Yes. He is just very strange to Merkulova. He obviously doesn't need Merkulova to spend the night with her, or he doesn't need to kiss her, but he just From time to time, he will make such a false appearance in front of outsiders, as if he is deliberately telling others that Melkulova is his woman."

"Then, he is not just pampering Melkulova in general, he is simply responsive to her, as long as it is what Melkulova wants, he will give it all. Even anyone who dares to disrespect Melkulova , he, the governor, will immediately come forward to warn or even beat him. He is not even angry that Melkulova is having an affair with other men behind his back. To be honest, I have never seen such a good lover. If I had, I would also Want to have one!"

Not to mention Petrovna, even Viscount Prozolov was stunned. He also felt that the relationship between Melkulova and Peter Barek was becoming more and more mysterious and unusual. Anyway, it is impossible for him to spoil Melkulova so much, it is impossible at all, okay?

Anyway, Viscount Prozolov couldn't think of the reason why Peter Barek did this, and even thought that the guy had lost his mind.

Petrovna also smiled wryly at this, she nodded repeatedly and said in agreement: "Yes, I thought so too at the time, I don't understand what Peter Barek is trying to figure out at all. Go straight..."
