19. Trial
The youngest son of this big guy is often ridiculed for his poor talent, but he is indeed the big guy's favorite child. Victor wasted a lot of thought before he inquired clearly, this little young master planned to be promoted in private to silence all those who looked down on him. As a young master from a noble family in the military department, Victor quickly found an opportunity to make friends with this little young master, and tried his best to recommend Constance's tea to him, and when the little young master was successfully promoted, it was not difficult for the big man to recommend him.
Now that there is such a scandal, even if you don't have to sit down, as long as it drags on for a while, that little young master is unwilling to use Constance's tea, what if the opportunity is snatched away by others? If there is anyone who is more anxious than Constance's parents, it is only Vic.
In front of his elders, Victor has always been committed to being a big brother who cares about his younger siblings and takes care of the overall situation, so he does not involve his own interests, he is often on the side and the mud or wise to protect himself. After he blurted out the finished words, he seemed to realize that he had made a foolish mistake, opened his mouth and didn't know where to explain, so he had to shut up in frustration to alleviate his sense of memory.
After Victor shut up, no one else spoke, and there was silence for a while.
Or Marshal about the only daughter of the most courageous, Mei Li did not take her father's authority in her eyes at all, she was very unhappy to be called back from the front for no reason, and now that this meeting was held, her father did not solve the problem cleanly, but made a fool of himself, which is really not in line with the military style. Although Mei Li, who couldn't look at it, respected her father, she didn't think that blind obedience was filial piety, and she unceremoniously pointed to the marshal: "Father, if you have anything to say, just say it, everyone's time is precious." ”
The dragon and phoenix fetus in the fifth room looked at Mei Li with admiration, she was a warrior in life, and only Aunt Mei Li dared to talk to the marshal like this in the whole family.
Marshal Yue didn't care at all, but the others knew that if the person who did this was not Mei Li, he would not be let go so lightly. Seeing that everyone was indeed waiting for his instructions, Marshal Yue finally stopped embarrassing his children and grandchildren, and said the main point: "Connie, you must pay attention to evidence in everything. The situation is very bad for you right now, and you can't prove that you are not in vain. ”
Indeed, regardless of Constance's strength, people are satisfied with the gossip in their hearts, and they don't mind how true the news is. But the three of them became tigers, maybe there were too many rumors, and when everyone thought that she was a waste of fame, no one believed that she was really powerful. If the impartial name of the Tea Trainers Association had been brought out, this rumor would have been dispelled long ago.
Constance bit her lip, she even knew that this thing was released by Duke Winston, and she also used her own means to make people in front of Duchess Winston, how Duke Winston had been obsessed with Marshal about Marshal for so many years, and even framed the junior of the Yue family for this. This matter is not wronged by Duke Winston, it not only provokes the relationship between their husband and wife, but also adds some blockage to Duke Winston's election campaign.
But even if the Duke of Winston was publicized in a big way, it could not completely undo the impact on Constance's reputation. Once the seeds of doubt are planted in people's hearts, even if it proves that the rumors were released by Duke Winston, as long as Constance can't prove his strength, there will still be many people who think that maybe Duke Winston is telling the truth?
"Grandfather, I can publish the grading I did in the Tea Trainers Association. Connie finally came up with this modest solution.
"Connie. Marshal Yue looked at his granddaughter with sparkling eyes, "Do you remember the content of the rumors? If it weren't for your false reputation, would Abel have deceived the top brass of the military department by saying that he had used the tea leaves in question?" ”
Constance looked at Marshal Joo in disbelief. What does this mean? Want her to admit the rumors and go to Abel to confess? But she was smart enough not to say it directly, and muttered for a few seconds before she spoke: "If I say this, there is a problem with the family's channel for transmitting tea, and the family's prestige will also plummet." But if it weren't for the family channel problem, and it wasn't for Abel to lie and fool the tea tamer association with a female cat with no strength for prestige, it wouldn't be much better than the first two. ”
Marshal Yue heard what his granddaughter meant: "Are you threatening the family?"
Constance would not be stupid enough to admit this: "Grandfather, can't you blame this matter on to outsiders? ”
Marshal Yue suddenly sighed, with exhaustion in his voice: "You are a smart child, it doesn't matter how the truth of everything is, what matters is what evidence you use to prove the result you want others to know." ”
Hearing this, Constance's eyes almost burst into flames, but she clenched her fists, and finally suppressed the impulses in her limbs. You should know that as a cat, the ears and tail are the most exposed.
"I see what my grandfather meant. "Grandfather is letting her figure out how to maintain the balance between the family, herself, and Abel, and if she reveals that she wants to sacrifice the family's reputation or Abraham's intentions, Marshal Joo will even make her a substitute for the dead. And her reputation, the family will not help, if she doesn't want to carry the infamy, she can only deal with this matter.
"Connie, you are a very important member of the family, and this is also a test for you. Marshal Yoo finally said.
The other family members looked at each other, and everyone walked out of the hall with their own thoughts in their hearts.
Merry got up and left very seriously, and even encouraged Constance: "You are the best female cat junior in the family, and my aunt believes in you." As he spoke, he turned his head and said goodbye to Marshal Yue, "Father, I haven't been back for a few months, you don't need to call me back if it's okay, it's useless to call me back if there's something, so there's no need to call it." ”
Marshal Yoo really can't do anything about his daughter, and he can't accuse his daughter of ignoring the family, because he himself was even more exaggerated than her when he was young, and several of Mei Li's younger brothers were brought up by her. Among so many children, he loves Mei Li the most, not only because she is the only daughter, but also because Mei Li is most like him. It is the duty of a soldier to be stationed on the front line, and there is nothing wrong with Mei Li's approach.
Victor was a little dumbfounded by this result, and his grandfather handed over the matter to Constance and a female cat to solve it by herself? What can she do, didn't she say at the beginning that she would let the lie slowly fade, so the road from the big guy and the little master is still not going to go?
Unlike the troubled Victor, Fancy, who had always felt that he was the most shrewd of his siblings, thought about Marshal over and over again, wondering if without Abraham, he would start to train Constance to be the head of the family...... Fan Xi gritted his teeth, the tea he advanced to was also provided by Constance, and if he really wanted to become an opponent, he really didn't dare to use it.
Constance's mother lost her temper with her husband: "Why didn't you let me go on just now? Father really doesn't care about Connie!"
The latter replied with some irritation: "It's not that you don't know your father's character, and challenging his authority will only die faster." Didn't I stop you after you finished talking, and if you talk too much, your father will be annoyed, and it will be counterproductive. ”
Abel's mother waited to walk to a place where others couldn't hear, and asked in a low voice, "Did Abel find out the truth about that incident?" Her partner shook her head and comforted her: "He didn't say, what plans does this child have?" It's a pity that I, as a father, can only do research and can't help him, but we have to believe in the strength of our children. ”
Leave the others aside. Constance returned to her courtyard, where Lizzie and Zara immediately greeted her. The two of them are very talented female cats from commoner families, and have been raised to be assistants by Constance since childhood, Lizzie is a tea tamer with good talent, and Zara has an excellent IQ. Such an assistant is not only for Constance, but also for every important child of the family. For example, Alan and Borgin were trained for Abel, and Victor and Vansey also had such characters around them.
Although these assistants are nominally cultivated by the family, in fact, in order for them to be more dedicated to the people they assist, and also to test the talents of the children of the family in employing people, how to get along with these assistants is completely up to the children of the family themselves. This mechanism obviously makes sense, and Lizzie and Zara are very loyal to Constance, and even though they know that Constance has a bad temper in private, they feel that the noble daughter should have a little temper.
Today, after being put in front of the whole family, Constance threw something angrily before he asked, "Where did that dead boy from Abraham go?"
"He went out with Borgin and Allen. "Zara reported, "Your previous provocation doesn't seem to have made him lower his trust in the two, the personal guard only brought a small team, and our people can't blend in, but when I learned that they were going to produce tea star F-28, I have already sent someone to follow in advance." Need to take advantage of this opportunity ......" Zara was a little unsure of what Constance meant, whether he wanted to kill Abraham or just want to destroy the other party.
As if to understand Zara's thoughts, Constance vetoed: "It doesn't matter to me whether he has a life or not, if his strength is too poor and he dies, I won't be sad for him." It's just that the tea thing last time was done very unsafely, and this time it can't be wrong. However, since he is going to take some people to remote planets, let the people below have some fun for him. ”
"What about rumors?" After all, Zara is just a subordinate, and she can only think of a way according to her master's wishes.
"Grandfather thinks I still care about the family and Abraham's reputation?" Constance scoffed, she was indeed unhappy with Marshal Yoo's approach, but that didn't mean she had to give in, "Don't forget our purpose Zara, a family with a damaged reputation, is more beneficial to us. ”
