Struggle in Russia

It is not at all strange that a dignitary like Peter Barek has several illegitimate daughters or the illegitimate son Viscount Prozolov. This is really normal, it would be strange if Peter Barek didn't have one.

Although it is not suitable for the rich and powerful to get too close to their illegitimate children, the relationship is too close. But it is also an unspoken rule in the aristocratic circle to take care of them as much as they can. If Peter Barek really loves Melkulova's daughter, he can try every means to benefit her, such as trying to find a good husband's family for her, helping her husband find a good job, or even giving money directly. no problem.

Everyone in the aristocratic circle knew these things, and there was no need to hide them at all, at least there was no need to be so secretive like Peter Barek. What he did gave Viscount Prozolov the feeling that he must avoid his relationship with Melkulova, so that outsiders could not figure out their real relationship.

Viscount Prozolov frowned and said, "What does he mean? Is there something unspeakable about Melkulova's background?"

Petrovna spread her hands and said, "I don't know about that. When I found out about this, I happened to fawn on Shuvalov, so these things are not so important to me, and I don't Continue to search. After all, in a sense, Peter Barek is also one of his own, isn't he!"

Viscount Prozolov glanced at her. He didn't believe this explanation, because what about himself? Shuvalov and Peter Barek weren't so good enough to wear a pair of pants, and judging from the relationship between the two behind, I'm afraid they didn't get along very well.

Under such circumstances, as long as Petrovna is not stupid, it is impossible for Peter Barek to ignore such an obvious trick. This is illogical and does not conform to her behavior pattern.

This woman may have figured out everything secretly, but for some reason, she was inconvenient to reveal the secret directly, so she lied.

However, Viscount Prozolov didn't bother to pursue it anymore. It was enough for him to know so much. With these clues, it was only a matter of time before he found out the truth with the network of Grand Duke Constantine.

Anyway, Viscount Prozolov is not in a hurry, and if he moves too quickly, it would not be a good thing to get Peter Barek out of the way quickly. With Grand Duke Constantine's temper, I'm afraid he thought his work was easy and he took care of everything casually.

For a boss like Grand Duke Constantine who "doesn't know the sufferings of the people", the best way to work is to make him a little anxious, but don't make him really anxious to get angry. You must make him think that your work is difficult and troublesome, otherwise he will not take you seriously at all, and will not understand your contribution.

As a smart person like Viscount Prozolov, he will definitely not make such a low-level mistake. He will definitely let Grand Duke Constantine follow his baton,

It's better to become more and more dependent on him.

So he sent Petrovna away with a wave of his hand, and then handed over the relevant clues to his confidantes, asking them to investigate carefully. Secretly kept secret.

On the other hand, a day or two later, when Petrovna and Lavre met, the incident was also brought up.

"Viscount Prozolov wants to deal with Peter Barek, and he is going to use Melkulova as an entry point!"

When he heard the news, Lavre was shocked. He stared at Petrovna dumbfounded, and said after a while, "Didn't you tell him that that woman's background is very troublesome?"

Petrovna gave him a blank look, and snorted, "How could I not know, but I can't say it clearly!"

Lavre was stunned, and then gave a wry smile. Only those who know this secret know what Melkulova's life experience is related to. If she is not careful, it will be a catastrophe. At least no one in Russia can escape the thunderstorm. angry.

So what is hidden behind Melkulova's life experience?

In fact, it is very simple, it is a scandal. And it's an extraordinary scandal, a scandal so huge that it can destroy anyone who tries to uncover the truth.

To put it simply, the reason why Peter Barek hid Melkulova so deeply was mainly because the water behind it was too deep, so deep that even a dignitary like Peter Barek couldn't bear it.

To clarify Merkulova's life experience, one has to mention her mother Elena Shepeleva. Elena was born in Warsaw, the daughter of Count Shepelev. But this Earl Shepelev is very special. Although his surname is Shepelev, it has nothing to do with the surname of Shepelev.

To put it simply, this Earl Shepelev is actually an illegitimate child, who was handed over to the Shepelev family for upbringing from birth, and was then awarded the title of Earl by Alexander I.

Then the question arises, who are the biological parents of Count Shepelev? Don't think about it, he must be a super-class big shot. In Russia, he is the kind that is too big, because his father is Alexander I.

Do you know how deep the water is now? In fact, this is only the least scary part. After all, Alexander I has many illegitimate children, and everyone is accustomed to it. So what if there are so many Marquis Shepelev?

It's no big deal at all!

If you think so, it's over, because Marquis Shepelev's biological mother is even more terrible, her name is Ekaterina Pavlovna Romanov!

To put it simply, she is the younger sister of Alexander I!

Now you know how big the problem is!

This is definitely the top royal family scandal, once it gets out, it will be the consequences of heaven and earth falling apart.

That's why Petrovna kept her mouth shut after she found out the truth. As long as she's not stupid, she definitely can't use this as an issue. If she dares to take off the cover, the Romanov family will make her disappear immediately without leaving any bones left behind.

What's more, Merkulova's water is far more than this deep. As I said earlier, Count Petlev gave birth to Irina in Warsaw. What's more interesting is that Miss Irina is also a troubled woman. Yes, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, she hooked up with a Polish youth and gave birth to the illegitimate daughter Merkulova.

Naturally, this scandal also had to be covered up, so Merkulova was handed over by Count Petlev to the care of Polish servants. His granddaughter basically grew up in a Polish way, and she recognized Poland more. After she grew up, she was not so close to the Polish rebellious party in the eyes of many Nicholas I!

Later, these were discovered by Count Petlev, and he naturally couldn't sit idly by, so he sent Merkulova to Kiev and handed it over to Peter Barek, the son of his old friend, to discipline her as Merkulova. Godfather, Peter Barek, although he was 10,000 unwilling in his heart, but he couldn't bear Count Petlev's willingness to do anything, so he could only hold his nose and admit it...
