Chapter 677: Picking
The nephew's lifelong event, Linton is indeed going to intervene. After such a fuss, the wedding really didn't go on. Linton asked, the woman from the Narcissian family on the other side really left directly, and of course there would be no way to have a wedding without a bride, and the Merlowe family was indeed a little embarrassed, and they could only send off the guests who came to attend the event.
Judging from the attitude of the guests who left, the Merlowe family did lose a lot of face this time, and it probably became a laughing stock. Most of the nobles revealed their meaning, thinking that the Merlowe family is worthy of being a country family from a small place, and it really can't be on the table, you can make jokes about a wedding.
Due to the relatively shallow foundation, no one said that they were on the side of the Merlowe family in this matter, in fact, according to the face of the Merlowe family, there was no way to invite so many people to attend the wedding, although the Merlowe family is now the title of duke, but for these old nobles, the Merlowe family is equivalent to the feeling of an upstart, if it weren't for the Holy Level of Linton and the support of the emperor, it is estimated that many things would not have gone so smoothly before.
In short, this time the matter is not big, small or small, it is mainly a matter of losing face, and this face is exactly what the Merlowe family needs most now. So what should I do now, first of all, it is definitely not a wise way to do it, although now if Linton does it directly, it should not be a problem to solve any family, but just solving them will not solve the problem.
Now the other party has caught the fact that the Merlowe family is not polite at the wedding, and what he is saying is that the Merlowe family is the kind of barbaric family in the countryside or something, if you destroy them again, others are afraid, but in their hearts, they probably feel that the Merlowe family is even more barbaric. So first of all, let's find a way to turn the wind around.
So how to reverse the wind and critics, didn't the Narcissians mean that the Merovue family did not be polite or anything at the wedding? The first thing to deny is this, that is to say, what the Merlowe family did at the wedding is not ignorant of etiquette, so why do they do it, the only explanation is...... Deliberately.
Yes, if the purpose of the Merlowe family was to disrupt the wedding from the beginning, then accusations such as not knowing etiquette will naturally not be counted. But the question is, why did the Merlowe family mess up the wedding, it wasn't the wedding you agreed to before. Linton thought about this, and it seemed that it could only be his own reasons.
Yes, Linton didn't participate in the whole process of the wedding before, and now he suddenly appeared at the wedding scene and deliberately ruined the wedding, which makes more sense, so the question is what did Linton find out to stop the wedding? Of course, Linton himself didn't know, it was indeed an accident, but now he had to think of a good reason.
At present, the only thing that Linton can think of is the reason why the Narcissian family is more anxious to hold the wedding. Yes, after all, there are a lot of TV drama and movie scripts in Linton's memory, and this kind of scene seems to be not uncommon. Probably the meaning in the TV series is ...... Pregnant.
Yes, Linton's first thought was this, if this Meryl was made big by someone and was ready to find his nephew to take over, the other party was in a hurry to get married, and it was specified that it would be easy to explain within a month, after all, if it dragged on, the stomach couldn't wait.
However, the problem is that the explanation is reasonable, but the current situation makes Linton a little uncertain. If the Narcissis family is just looking for someone to take over, the other party should be in a hurry now, right, after all, the stomach can't wait. But since the cancellation of the wedding, the Narcissian family did not have any anxious reaction, as if they were waiting for the Merlowe family to explain it themselves, then Linton didn't know if it was right or not, if he guessed correctly, it was fine, but if he didn't guess correctly, the other party was just in a hurry or something, then the news was released, and the Merowe family was even more embarrassed.
If you want to do this, you must first determine whether the other person is pregnant, and then you need to investigate a little. If the other party is really pregnant, it is estimated that it will only be two or three months at present, and it is impossible to see it, and it is estimated that the aunt stopped the other party to know, but it is still difficult for them to get the exact news and get evidence.
After some calculations on Linton's side, he finally settled on a plan, that is...... Abandon. Yes, let's not talk about whether the investigation can find evidence or not, it's too long, Linton said that he can't afford to wait, not only his own task but also waiting for himself, this is blown out, and he can help his nephew get this thing done in a week, so he can't swallow back the words that he blows out. So regardless of whether the other party is looking for Garsain to take over, Linton decided, no matter what, change his thinking.
So what exactly should be done now? There is a very good way to turn the Narcisse family here into an "absolutely evil" existence, as long as public opinion is used to turn the other party into absolute evil, then whatever the other party does is wrong, and you don't need to pay attention to their explanations at all. Yes, it's the one in the magnesium country, disgusting is disgusting, it's really easy to use, otherwise why do the people of the magnesium country insist on doing this, and don't hesitate to open their eyes and say nonsense.
So is there such an absolutely evil existence on this continent, of course there is. The Church of Cthulhu, yes, this evil organization that just attacked the Church of Light on Celestial Day, is now listed as an enemy of the Church of Light, and the people of the Church of Light are promoting how evil this organization is every day, and they have done a good job for Linton, and what Linton has to do now is to get the Narcisse family and the Church of Cthulhu in a relationship.
So what should be done about this matter? Linton said...... There are still some benefits to having seen so much, do you know what is called the Scrap Wood Rising Stream?
So Linton soon came to Sylock City, the city where the Narcisse family was located, and the fiefdom of the Narciss. The Narcissus family was already a fief nobleman before the empire was divided into three states, and after the empire split, the Narcissus family also retained his fief, but the ownership of this family is not yet certain. Yes, after the split, the three Terran countries all want to let the Narcissus family belong to them, but the Narcissus family does not show their attitude, waiting for the price to sell, and the three empires do not dare to do it casually, first, there are all the forces of the Narcissus family in the country, and they are also very large, and it is very troublesome for them to hurt their muscles and bones if they do it, and they are afraid of forcing this big family to the opposite side.
In short, taking advantage of this relationship, the Narcissus family repeatedly jumped between the three empires, but never really belonged to one of them, which can be said to be a very superb political trick. Now the fief of the Narcissus family is a bit like a strange feeling of neutrality, but the other party has not seen it on its own, and it is currently nominally owned by the Holy Willan Empire, but the Saint Willan Empire can't control them, and even the taxes that should be paid have been delayed for more than ten years, and they have never been paid, and the Saint Willan Empire still doesn't dare to urge, otherwise people will jump to other empires.
Selock City has been run by the Narcissus family for almost a hundred years, and it is a super-large city, several times larger than Starfall City, which is still being renovated and built in their territory just now, and it is not a city of a grade at all. Walking on the street, Linton can also feel the prosperity of this city, the appearance of the city is comparable to the imperial capital, no wonder the Narcissus family has such confidence to jump sideways repeatedly, they do have the strength to build a country by themselves.
After a little time, Linton was in the city to inquire about the Narciss. The Narcisse family is really a big family, and there are about 300 members of the family at present, and this is still a family member recognized by the family. Yes, there are many people who have the blood of the Narciss, but they are all illegitimate children, so they are not recognized by the Narciss, and there are even more such people.
The head of the modern-day Narciss, the guy who almost became Garsein's father-in-law, is named Dorne. Narciss. THIS GUY CAN BE CALLED A CONTEMPORARY HUMAN-TYPE ZHONG HORSE, IN ADDITION TO THE GENUINE WIFE, HE ALSO HAS 19 CONCUBINES, A TOTAL OF 33 CHILDREN, WHICH IS STILL RECOGNIZED BY THE FAMILY, AND THERE ARE COUNTLESS ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN. Linton estimated that he had to keep a record of the concubines and children by number, not by name.
The family is big, and naturally there are a lot of bad things. There must have been a struggle for status within the family, and Linton investigated a little, and soon found a very suitable target. Edmund. Marlowe, 16 years old. Dorne. The illegitimate son of Narciss, you can tell by looking at his name that he is not recognized by the family, and the surname Marlowe is the exclusive surname of an illegitimate child.
However, as an illegitimate child, Edmund is in a slightly better position than other bastards, as he has just been brought into the Narcissian family this year. Yes, the Narcisse family often brings some illegitimate children back to the family, and the illegitimate children who are brought back are the more talented ones among the illegitimate children, and the purpose of bringing them back is equivalent to developing talents, raising a few talented, and being able to do things for the family in the future, after all, for these illegitimate children, they work hard for the family for a lifetime, and what they want to get is to take the family surname, this transaction is very worthwhile for the family, with a title, you can let a genius help you work for a lifetime.
Of course, the real people in the Narcissus family must look down on these illegitimate children, Edmund is often bullied by the children of the family, and because he just joined the family this year, he has not been completely tamed, and the edges and corners have not been rounded, so Linton looks at it, isn't this the best protagonist template? It's you.
