Struggle in Russia

Fontana also thought about being able to marry Alexei, but as soon as she thought about the impact it would have on him and the trouble it would bring to their children in the future, she flinched.

What's more, even if she wants to marry Alexey, she can't do it now, even if the miscegenation bill is passed. After all, Alexei's original wife is still there, unless that person dies or Alexei Able to divorce her.

The problem is that both of these are difficult to achieve. First of all, the original wife is now lively and full of energy. She was in good health when she was just twenty-six or seven years old. How could she have her hair braided?

Secondly, in Russia under the jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church, divorce is not only treasonous but also completely intolerable by the secular world.

Look at how Li Xiao’s cheap father, Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich, got divorced?

His first wife fled back to her natal family for more than ten years, gave birth to several illegitimate children, and gave the Grand Duke several green hats. Finally, he reluctantly divorced Alexander I when he refused to return to Russia even though he came to do work.

Alexey faced a completely different situation. Although his first wife didn't like living with him, she had no desire to divorce.

This divorce is simply a fantasy!

Let's put it this way, it is more possible for Fontana to kill her first wife than to let her take the initiative to divorce.

In short, these two methods are almost impossible to achieve unless Li Xiao is willing to take action.

Fontana asked carefully: "You don't want to force that lady to submit, do you?"

It's not surprising that Fontanna would think so. Li Xiao has a lot of strange methods and is a bit unscrupulous in doing things. What's more, he has now mastered the big killer weapon in the third part of St. Petersburg, and he is indeed capable of setting up a trap to catch that person. The first wife used the opportunity to force her to divorce, or even let her die violently.

But this is not what Fontana wants. She knew that such a method would not be without sequelae, and the last thing Alexei and Li Xiao needed right now was this kind of handle. Once discovered by their enemies, political life would come to an end.

Fontana didn't want her personal interests to cause their losses, she was not that selfish.

What's more, she has no grievances against her original wife. Even if that person knew about her relationship with Alexey, she didn't say a word. In a sense, they acquiesced in her and Alexey's relationship. Together.

If you have to kill someone to get the upper hand, it really goes against Fontana's original intention. She's not that vicious yet.

Li Xiao found it a bit funny to worry about Fontanna. Is he such a sinister and vicious person? Although he couldn't stand the behavior of his first wife, it didn't mean that he would kill her.

Objectively speaking, she is also a victim of feudal arranged marriage. If she could decide her own marriage, how could she marry Alexey?

And although she played well, she did not go beyond the unspoken rules of the aristocratic circle. What's more, all the money she squandered was her own property, which she brought from her parents' home. It should be said that she did not waste Alexei's money, okay?

To be cruel to such a "poor" woman under such circumstances is really against Li Xiao's principles. Anyway, he has never thought about it in this direction!

Fontana patted her chest: "That's good? Then how do you plan to solve this problem?"

Li Xiao replied: "We have just reached a consensus that we cannot use those despicable tricks against that lady. Since we can't solve the problem from her side, we can only find a solution from your side!"

Fontana was stunned. Think of a solution from her side?

What can be done?

With her status and background, she cannot be tolerated in the aristocratic circle, and she can't find a way to make meritorious deeds to gain a noble background for herself. How do you think this can be done?

Li Xiao smiled and said: "The title of aristocrat is naturally difficult to obtain, but it is not impossible. Alyosha has been helping you find ways to get it. Previously, because those old diehards were in power, they had been obstructing us in every possible way, so now we don't have it. Progress... I think with the fundamental change in the balance of power, it is not particularly rare for you to obtain the honorary title. After all, there is no problem in obtaining the honorary title for your contribution. "

After a moment's pause, Li Xiao continued: "But that's because distant water cannot save nearby fire. In order to avoid the imminent trouble, we have to think of other ways!"

Fontana immediately asked: "What can I do?"

Li Xiao smiled and explained: "The biggest problem between you and Alexei is that there is a huge gap in status, which does not conform to the unspoken rules of the aristocratic circle. In other words, if you are an aristocratic lady, there is no need for you to maintain your current relationship. The problem is, at most, just gossip after dinner.”

Fontanna nodded, that's the fact. In today's aristocratic circle, who doesn't have some extramarital affairs? It's the style of the aristocracy. If you don't engage in it, there will be problems. Anyway, as long as the person you are cheating on is also a noble and of equal status, there will be no problem at all.

Her biggest problem is that she doesn't have aristocratic status, so being with Alexey feels a bit taboo.

But isn’t this a dead end that cannot be solved? After all, she couldn't immediately conjure up a noble title and wear it on her head. How could she do this?

Li Xiao replied: "You are right, this is the biggest problem. However, the situation you mentioned is universal, but it does not mean that there are no special circumstances!"

Fontana asked curiously: "When?"

Li Xiao replied loudly: "When you are particularly important and extraordinary, if you are special enough, then status is not a big issue! Look at Catherine I in history, she was just a peasant girl , he also married, and in the end he was not successful in marrying Peter the Great, and in the end he became the tsar of the empire. "

Fontana looked embarrassed. Can she be compared with the Czarina? There is absolutely no comparison between the two, okay!

Li Xiao shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, you didn't understand what I meant. I'm just telling you that special cases exist. The only difference is whether you are special enough. Catherine I was special because of her beauty and charm, and you But it’s not these!”

Fontana became more and more curious and asked: "Then what do you think is special about me?"

Li Xiao solemnly replied: "The most special thing about you is your relationship with Alyosha and your selfless care and help to him. Without you, he would not be where he is now!"

Fontana smiled bitterly and said: "But these will not help change my situation, right?"

Li Xiao shook his head seriously and said: "No! You are wrong, this is very helpful!"
