Hearing Fred's words, Claire was very calm, just glanced at Fred, and still ate by herself.

The others next to Claire were not so calm, and hurriedly saluted Fred, and Lyn, who was closest to Claire, was even more red, like a bear child who had done something wrong and was caught by his parents.

Claire was a little speechless, why is this little Lori so thin-skinned today, you blush and a bubble teapot, the two of us are here to eat, not here to date, hey.

Seeing the strange looks of other nobles because of Fred's words, and some unaware nobles inquiring about Lynn's identity, Claire knew that his reputation was completely over now.

However, maybe this is not a bad thing, so that in the future, maybe no one will think about arranging a marriage between herself and their family, which can reduce a lot of trouble, Claire thought to herself, laughing at herself.

Fred obviously didn't realize how much trouble his words had caused Claire, and looked at Claire with a look of resentment, and said aggrievedly.

"Wow, you're too heavy on sex and light friends. I didn't expect you to be able to do such a thing as having a beauty and forgetting your friends. ”

Fred's words were much lower than before, and he obviously knew that such words would not be good in other people's ears.

Claire is also afraid that Fred will say something shocking again, although the relationship between him and Lin has been a little unclear by Fred now, but Claire doesn't want to really make a name for herself in the aristocratic circle with the matter of men and women, as a nobleman, a good reputation is still very important.

"Alright." Claire dragged Fred to her side, and such an intimate gesture made many nobles who paid attention to this corner have a little more impression of how deep the relationship between Claire and Fred was.

"If you can't speak, you don't have to say it, Miss Lin and I are innocent, nothing, don't talk nonsense."

"Innocent?" Fred's eyes widened, and two words were clearly written on his face, not believing.

He leaned into Claire's ear, looked around, and whispered.

"Hey, do you know that Miss Lin secretly eloped with you has spread all over Three Rivers City, and it's not news at all. People say that you kidnapped Baron Linde's sister, and it is said that because of this incident, Baron Linde and his wife had a big quarrel and divorced.

It's all such a big fuss, and you still say that you and Miss Lin are innocent? Wow, you're going too far, aren't you? ”

Wait, Claire was confused, and she had a few greetings in her heart that she wanted to blurt out.

Obviously, Lin ran to Tilling Town by herself, how did she become abducted and eloped by herself, but as soon as Lin arrived, she notified Baron Lind to pick up people. There is also such a thing as the divorce of Linde and his wife, how can it be counted on himself, is there any reason for this.

Claire smiled bitterly and tried to speak.

"I said everything was a rumor, do you believe it?"

Fred shook his head like a rattle, but said, "I believe it, of course I believe you." ”

Do you want to shake your head like that? Are you as stupid as you are to me? Claire was a little powerless to complain, and pointed to the little Lori beside her like resignation.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the person."

Fred glanced at Lynn, who looked at Fred with the same winks with a pair of big innocent eyes, Fred withdrew his eyes, patted Claire on the shoulder, and whispered.

"I don't need to explain, I understand. Besides, what's the use of you explaining to me, doesn't Miss Lin's appearance here represent a lot of facts, if you want to explain, you should explain it to Baron Linde yourself after meeting him in the future. ”

Fred makes sense, and Claire doesn't need to explain anymore, after all, if everyone thinks so, a person's justification is sometimes so weak. In the previous life, Lanxing, those countless innocent people who were bullied by the Internet, aren't they the same, no one cares what the truth is, people are only willing to believe the facts they believe.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Claire shook the irrelevant thoughts out of her mind and got down to business. "By the way, how did you get sent to the battlefield by Lord Earl, and you commanded the army, and Lord Count was not afraid of the whole army being wiped out?"

Fred gave Claire a blank look and asked with a pretended ferocious look. "You say that, I'm so unbearable, what's wrong with me commanding the army, what's not to do. I've been learning since I was a kid..."

In the face of Claire's questioning gaze, Fred's tone gradually lost confidence, and finally stopped, just as he knew Claire, Claire still knew his abilities very well.

"Well, I'm not good at leading troops into battle, but I thought, don't you still have this. With your help, I want to defend this territory, so it shouldn't be a big problem. It wasn't my father who sent me, it was me who offered to participate in this war. ”

Good guy, it turns out that Liang Jingru is actually me, right?

Claire was both moved and amused in her heart, moved because there are people in this world who believe in themselves so much, and the funny thing is that if he talks about leading troops to fight, he can't rely on it at all, and he doesn't know who to rely on.

However, just based on the feelings between the two people, it shouldn't be enough for Fred to run to the front line in person, even if he worries about him, at most, it will be like helping to hire the Good Luck Mercenary Group before, which is not in line with Fred's character.

Sure enough, Fred didn't hide Claire's thoughts at all, and told Claire all the conversations between him and Earl Wright.

After hearing this, Claire couldn't help but laugh.

The previous opportunity for Fred to compete for the heir, but it was lost in Claire's hands, and the conversation in Earl Wright's study almost announced that Fred was not eligible for the position of earl's heir. Unexpectedly, Fred relied on himself and took it back.

Perhaps, this is the legendary fool who has a foolish fortune.

Thinking that the other party trusted her so much, and she even cheated the other party, Claire felt very sorry in her heart, this time since Fred really had a chance to become the heir, she said that she would help him succeed in everything.

The two didn't talk for too long, and through Fred, Claire learned a little more about the latest situation in Trois-Rivières. Although Evan provided information before, firstly, Evan had a low status, and secondly, Evan had set off earlier, and some of the information was outdated. After being verified by Fred this time, Claire has basically figured out the strategic thinking of the Earl of Wright and understood his intentions.

Then, in the next time, he may be able to use this war to obtain a certain status in Three Rivers City, and he can also take the opportunity to expand his territory again.

"Alright." Claire interrupted Fred, who was about to make small talk, glanced at the aristocrats around her, and whispered. "Let's talk about this first, and we'll talk about the command after the banquet is over."
