Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

After hesitating for a few seconds, Cecilia said to Lin Shangzhou: "In fact, your inability to go home is indeed related to me. I should apologize to you."

"what?"

Lin Shangzhou was confused. How was this related? Wasn't it because that bastard Klein was in Berlin that he couldn't go home?

Looking at the confused Lin Shangzhou, Cecilia sighed and said apologetically:

"Have you forgotten what I told you before? Mr. Papen has evidence that the chancellor has imprisoned my sister. I can be a witness, which means that as long as I am willing, Albert can step down."

"If Albert steps down, Klein will no longer be a threat. Although he still has the photo of you holding a pistol, the new chancellor will definitely not pursue this matter too much."

After hearing what Cecilia said, Lin Shangzhou also thought of what she said to him, and at the same time he wondered why she didn't just let Albert step down and let a new prime minister take office.

Lin Shangzhou didn't care how Klein posed no threat to him, but asked in confusion:

"Then why don't you do it? It will be good for you and your sister. After all, Albert treated Alexandrine like this. Wouldn't it be better to have a new chancellor?"

Hearing what Lin Shangzhou asked, Cecilia's eyes became firm and she replied:

"Because I don't want my sister to be caught up in the political vortex."

"Although Albert's attitude was not good, he avoided my sister from contacting most politicians. I myself also rejected some politicians' requests to meet my sister. If a new prime minister takes office, my sister will inevitably come into contact with more and more politicians. Some of them may be loyal to the emperor, some may want to use the emperor, and some may oppose the emperor. At that time, my sister will not be able to live as easily as she does now. She will face various political problems. She is not like my grandfather who has rich political experience, she is not like our father who was trained as the crown prince, and she is not like our brother who has had much contact with politics. Before my sister was forced to become emperor, she was just a ten-year-old girl who knew nothing.

"She is only 15 years old now. She is not as politically gifted as Queen Elizabeth and Empress Catherine. She is not suitable for politics, and I don't want her to get involved in politics."

Lin Shangzhou was somewhat moved by Cecilia's words. He could see how much Cecilia loved her sister, but her behavior was problematic because she had not asked for Alexandrine's opinion.

Lin Shangzhou wanted to say this, but seeing Cecilia's current look, he felt it was inappropriate to say it. But if he didn't say it, Cecilia might never know the mistake she made.

He gritted his teeth and said to Cecilia:

"Cecilia, I understand what you said. I won't blame you for my problems, but is it really okay for you to lock your sister up in Wuyou Palace like this?"

"No matter what you think, Alexandrine is the emperor of the German Empire. She is the symbol of the German Empire. She cannot avoid being involved in politics."

Cecilia was silent. After waiting for a few seconds, she looked at Lin Shangzhou with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"I…"

She opened her mouth to say something, but Lin Shangzhou quickly interrupted her.

"I don't think you asked your sister for her opinion before you did this."

His words left Cecilia speechless, she had never asked her sister's opinion.

Cecilia was silent, Lin Shangzhou also stopped talking, and the air became quiet.

Ten seconds later, Cecilia said to Lin Shangzhou: "You are right. I really can't keep my sister in Wuyou Palace like this. I will ask my sister for her opinion in the future..."

Lin Shangzhou felt happy when he heard Cecilia say this, but the next second her words made him realize that he had just opened the champagne at halftime.

"But no matter what her opinion is, I will not change my approach. I will not let her get involved in politics."

After saying this, Cecilia turned her face away.

Lin Shangzhou wanted to persuade Cecilia again, saying that if she continued like this, there would be no good results. But when he saw the expression on Cecilia's face, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Because there was a look of sadness on Cecilia's face that he had never seen before.

Chapter 26 Farewell

Because the atmosphere between the two of them had solidified, Lin Shangzhou wanted to break the deadlock. He gently hit his forehead and said to Cecilia:

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I also apologize to you for what I said just now. I shouldn't have said too much about you and your sister. After all, it's your family affair."

"You don't need to apologize. What you said makes sense. Although I won't change my thoughts or actions, I do need to ask my sister what she thinks. If you don't take the initiative to bring this up, I'm afraid I won't change on my own."

Cecilia didn't think too much about this matter. Lin Shangzhou's words just now also reminded her.

"I know this is asking too much, but if possible, I suggest you leave this afternoon, the sooner you leave Berlin the better."

"Leaving this afternoon? Your suggestion is indeed a bit too much..."

Lin Shangzhou curled his lips, but he could understand that if he left too late, Klein might have entangled him.

"Then I'll go home and tell my uncle about this, and then I'll buy a train ticket to Strasbourg this afternoon."

"Now go and say goodbye to my sister, Noah, Lauer, Elena, and the maid you're on good terms with. I'll go back to my office to write you a letter and get your January salary. I'll also write you a few checks to use in Strasbourg."

Cecilia stood up as she spoke, and Lin Shangzhou also stood up from the stone bench. When he heard Cecilia say that she wanted to write him a check, he thought for a moment and called out to Cecilia who had already walked out of the pavilion.

"Cecilia, um... you don't need to write a check. I won't need much money there. I will find another job to earn money. My uncle will definitely give me money to use. Maybe he will even follow me."

Cecilia turned and shook her head.

"No, what if you need money urgently when you go to Strasbourg? I plan to hire Uncle For as a driver again, even though he is ill. But if I don't do this, Klein will definitely bother us again."

"Fine…"

Lin Shangzhou nodded helplessly.

Then Lin Shangzhou came to the door of Alexandrine's office and pushed it open. Lin Shangzhou saw Alexandrine, Noah, Lol and Elena were all in the room, which surprised him.

When he walked into the room, all four of them turned their eyes to him.

Alexandrine came out from behind the table, walked in front of Lin Shangzhou, looked up at him reluctantly:

"Fritts, are you leaving?"

"Well, if I continue to stay in Berlin, Klein will definitely cause me trouble all the time. Staying in the Palace of Souci will also cause trouble for you, so I plan to leave Berlin."

Lin Shangzhou nodded.

"But you don't have to worry about me too much. Cecilia suggested that I go to Strasbourg, where her friends will help me. The only trouble for me now is how to adapt to the days without you in Strasbourg."

Alexandrine reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, lowered her head and said reluctantly: "Fritts, I don't want you to leave."

Luo Er, who was sitting on the sofa, could no longer suppress her emotions. She jumped up and ran to Lin Shangzhou, hugged his waist and cried, "Brother Fritz, I don't want you to leave either."

Lin Shangzhou was very touched, but then Luo Er's words made him no longer moved.

"Who will do the work for me if you leave..."

Lol sobbed as she said this, which wiped out most of the emotion in Lin Shangzhou's heart, and replaced it with a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Her words also made the atmosphere in the room less sad.

"You don't want me to leave just because if I leave, there will be no one to help you with the work. My heart hurts so much..."

Lin Shangzhou pretended to be sad, and Luo Er realized that she had said the wrong thing, but she knew that Lin Shangzhou was pretending, and she cared more about Elena's reaction.

"Laure, I said that you have been doing better at work recently than before. It wasn't you who did it before. It was Mr. Fritz who helped you do it. From now on, you should stay with me. I will personally supervise your work."

Elena had a gloomy face, looking disappointed in her. She walked to Luo'er and pulled her off Lin Shangzhou by her clothes.

Well, the thing that Luo Er least wanted to see happened. She was no longer sad and stood beside Elena with a reluctant look on her face.

Lin Shangzhou looked at Luo Er with gloating. It was her fault that she liked to throw work to him every day. She deserved it.

Alexandrine smiled at Lauer's reluctant expression, and she didn't feel so sad anymore. So she let go of the hand that was holding Lin Shangzhou's clothes and sat down on the sofa.

Lin Shangzhou also walked to the sofa and sat next to Nuoya.

"Fritts, if you go to Strasbourg, when will you come back?"

Noah asked as he sat down.

Lin Shangzhou looked at Noah. She seemed to be the calmest person present except Elena. But when Lin Shangzhou saw her eyes, he knew from the look in her eyes that Noah didn't want him to leave either.

When will you be back?

Lin Shangzhou had thought about this question, but he could not give a definite answer. According to Cecilia, Klein would not go to Alsace to cause trouble for him after he left, but that did not mean that Klein would not send people to keep an eye on his movements. He would definitely send people to watch him at the train station. He also had his photo in his hand, so he might be captured by Klein's people as soon as he got off the train.

"uncertain."

Lin Shangzhou shook his head.

"Is this so..."

Noah lowered her head in disappointment. She had an idea in her mind that she wanted to go to Strasbourg with Lin Shangzhou, but her family conditions did not allow her to do so. If she left, her family would be without a financial supporter.

Lin Shangzhou was also reluctant to leave. He was reluctant to leave no matter who it was. His departure also disrupted his plans. He had planned to try to develop further relationship with Noah after working for another month or two, but now he had to give up this idea.

In order to ease the sad atmosphere, he thought for a moment and said to everyone with a smile:

"But if I have the chance, I will definitely come back, and I will also write to you to let you know I am safe. I just don't know if the postman will deliver the letter to Wuyou Palace."

"Alexandrine, do you usually receive letters?"

He looked at Alexandrine, wanting to know the answer from her.

"Yes, you can also write letters. I will write to you when the time comes. No, we will write to you, and each of us will write a paragraph in the letter."

After hearing Lin Shangzhou's letter, Alexandrine's eyes lit up and she spoke happily, and the others also nodded.

"Well, let's do this. I will write you a letter when I arrive in Strasbourg, and we will keep in touch every two weeks. How about that?"

Lin Shangzhou suggested.

"Ah."

Everyone nodded.

At this time, Cecilia opened the door and walked in. After she entered the office, she was not surprised to see everyone. She said to Lin Shangzhou, "Let's go, Fritz. I've asked someone to buy the train tickets. Go home and tell Uncle Forle about this, pack up your things and get ready to leave for Strasbourg."

"Ah."

Lin Shangzhou nodded and stood up, then waved to the others present and said with a smile: "Alexandrine, Noah, Lol, Elena, goodbye."

Alexandrine, Noah and Lol looked at Lin Shangzhou reluctantly as he waved goodbye to him.

After Cecilia and Lin Shangzhou walked out of the office, she handed the paper bag in her hand to Lin Shangzhou.

"In the bag is my letter to Wolfgang, your January salary of 1 marks, and three checks for 100 marks."

Lin Shangzhou took the bag. He had no clear idea about the money, or rather, he had no clear idea about the German Marks. If you told him about US dollars, he would definitely know that they were valuable, but he would not be clear about German Marks.

He was wondering if the mark could be directly regarded as the US dollar in the KR world where Germany replaced the United States.

"What? Do you think it's too little?"

Seeing that Lin Shangzhou didn't move, Cecilia asked, and then she said:

"If you think it's too little, I can write you two more, but that's the maximum I can write you."

Her heart bled as she said she would write two more checks.

"Ah... no no."

After Lin Shangzhou reacted, he quickly waved his hand to reject Cecilia's proposal, which made her relax a little.

"I just don't know the value of this money. After all, my uncle buys things at home, and I rarely buy things with money."

He said to Cecilia awkwardly that although he had followed his uncle to the town to buy vegetables, his uncle did not use marks at that time but a currency called pfennig, and he did not pay much attention when using marks.

Cecilia was speechless at first and then smiled helplessly. In the past, she thought Lin Shangzhou was an idiot, but now she thought the man in front of her was somewhat cute.

She smiled and said to Lin Shangzhou:

"It's a huge sum of money anyway. No matter what difficulties you encounter, this money will definitely be enough for you."

(Just think of it as US dollars)

Lin Shangzhou thought to himself, and then said to Cecilia: "Then I will accept it without hesitation, thank you."

"Come on, I'll drive you home and then take you to the train station."

"Ah."

Cecilia drove Lin Shangzhou back to his home. After parking the car, she and Lin Shangzhou got out.

Lin Yangyu was working in the yard as usual. When he saw the car coming, he put down the tools in his hands and looked at the car and the two people who got off in confusion.

"Shang Zhou, why are you back so early?"

Lin Shangzhou walked up to Lin Yangyu with a heavy face. Lin Yangyu looked at him in confusion. He didn't understand why his nephew had that expression.

"What's wrong? What happened? Why do you look like that?"

Under Lin Yangyu's puzzled gaze, Lin Shangzhou told him what happened in the morning.

After listening to his nephew's story, Lin Yangyu was silent for a few seconds before saying, "So you are going to Strasbourg alone now, right?"

"Ah."
