Chapter 161: 160 Precision Stepping on Thunder

Time moves forward a little, back to when the Lionheart carriage was stuck on the road.

Seeing that the important guests had all arrived, but that crucial Lionheart carriage was late to appear with the new Duke, the new family head and the only remaining clan elder of the Laien family were almost driven crazy.

"Is Old York senile!"

Not knowing that the old butler, who was also one of the "Three Laien Elders," had already been sent to the hospital after a heart attack under the torture of someone's "elementary school sentence-making," the family head, who was fat and bloated and wearing a specially made large-sized tuxedo, couldn't help but complain after waiting for a long time without seeing the new Duke return:

"He said he had served the old Duke for so many years and had experienced all kinds of special occasions, so there would definitely be no problems. I agreed to let him arrange it. As a result, just a small matter of taking people out and then taking a car back, how could it be delayed?"

"Don't be anxious, wait a little longer."

Compared to the new family head of the Laien family, the clan elder of the Laien family was clearly able to hold his ground better. After sending two close attendants to urge, he frowned with white eyebrows and said:

"Our new Duke is different from the old Duke. He is a bottom-level person who has never received noble education. It is inevitable to make some mistakes in an ceremony of this scale. Now we can only trust Old York and give him a little more time."

"Still give him a little more time, then who gives us more time?"

Peeking through the gap between the curtain tassels at the hall, and finding that some guests already had impatient expressions on their faces, the Laien family head couldn't help but sigh, his expression quite annoyed:

"If I had known that even this could go wrong, I wouldn't have set so many processes before, and wouldn't have tossed him so many times, so the time wouldn't have been arranged so tightly, and there wouldn't have been any leeway left!"

"Don't be anxious, the more it is at this time, the more you need to hold your ground."

After picking up the tea in his hand and drinking it slowly, the Laien clan elder took a handkerchief from his bosom, wiped the tea stains on his white beard, and persuaded with a peaceful voice:

"The new Duke is a somewhat unruly person, and he doesn't know how to be a qualified noble at all. It is a good thing to make the ceremony more cumbersome, just to grind his temper, let him know the importance of the three of us. If we don't take action to arrange it, he can't even handle the succession ceremony. Only then will he know the sense of proportion when getting along in the future."

"That's true..."

Somewhat persuaded by the clan elder's words, the Laien family head hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Fine! Then everything will follow the previous plan. You continue to send people to urge, and I will go to the front hall to stabilize those guests who have been waiting impatiently."

"Hmm, go."

When the Laien two elders reached a consensus, one arranged for people to find the new Duke, and the other tried his best to stabilize the guests, the guests in the hall on the first floor of the main building had been waiting for an extremely long time and were extremely impatient.

"Hehe, the lineup of our new Duke is really quite big!"

Looking at the frowning brows of the crowd around, a certain "little scumbag" Earl who became famous in the Capital because of Li Ang couldn't help but speak sarcastically:

"Everyone here has marriage relations with the Laien family. Many are of the same generation as the old Duke. Down the line, half are his elders, and some are even two generations older than him.

For the sake of the old Duke's recent passing, we elders got up early to support him, rushed over to attend the ceremony, and as a result, we just waited here dryly?"

The "scumbag" Earl's speech was too obvious, almost directly writing the words "I am picking things up" on his face.

But first, everyone was a group of crows who smelled the rotten smell of profit and came to share the "Laien corpse," and they all knew each other's "ingredients," so there was no need to pretend to be dignified;

Second, getting up early to rush over to attend the ceremony, but being left here for a long time for no reason, everyone's heart was naturally very dissatisfied. After the scumbag Earl finished speaking, not only did no one oppose, but someone even took the initiative to echo.

"Indeed, the Laien family did a bit poorly this time."

"I'm afraid it's not that they did poorly, but they didn't take us small nobles seriously at all, right?"

"People are the dual pillars of the Kingdom, why should they take us small nobles seriously?"

Under the deliberate provocation of those with intentions and the intentional cooperation of a group of people with ghosts in their hearts, when the Laien family head came out from the backstage, the entire hall was already in chaos, and all kinds of direct accusations and sarcasm were endless.

"Everyone! Everyone please be quiet, please listen to me first!"

Hearing the tidal sound of condemnation in the hall, the cold sweat on the Laien family head's back came down, and he hurriedly raised his volume and shouted:

"Sorry, sorry, today's ceremony was indeed a bit hasty, and the Duke was also delayed on the road because of some things. It is really our Laien family's lack of preparation, neglecting all the distinguished guests.

But the reason for this is also to thank everyone for their visit, so it was prepared a bit more grandly. It's just that this process is cumbersome, and it is inevitable to make mistakes. I hope everyone will look at the friendship of the past and try to bear with it as much as possible.

And besides everyone, also present are Lady Ani representing Prime Minister Leonard, and Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya representing the Princess. Please sell these two distinguished guests a face and bear with it a little longer. I thank everyone here for your tolerance!"

After the Laien family head finished speaking, the hall, which was originally noisy, suddenly quieted down again.

Without it, although this remark was hasty, the effect in controlling the situation was really excellent.

Apologizing and admitting mistakes to appease emotions without saying a word, then using a move of "being late is not intentional neglect, but because of too much respect for you" to control the field, directly crawling back to the moral high ground with hands and feet.

Then, taking advantage of the fact that the Prime Minister and the Princess are also present, pointing out that picking things up again is not giving face to the Prime Minister and the Princess, pressing down people like the scumbag Earl who originally wanted to make trouble, and finally bowing to thank everyone for their tolerance, completely blocking the option of "intolerance."

It can only be said that the Laien three elders were able to take power after the Laien blood night and become the actual controllers of the Laien family, not just by being old, but indeed having two brushes. This small combo hit in a hurry is enough to prove the mouth strength of the Laien family head.

Unfortunately, this remark of the Laien family head, although successfully appeasing 99% of the people, offended the most troublesome one among them.

"I am not representing anyone!"

Hearing "Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya representing the Princess," the gorgeously dressed teenager standing at the forefront of a group of guests and chatting with the Prime Minister's wife couldn't help but sink his face, then regardless of the secret pulling of the female companion beside him, he spoke out and refuted without ceremony:

"Pay attention to your words! If you really want to say representation, then what I represent is the Royal Family, not anyone else!" ===== CHAPTER 162 =====

Upon hearing "His Highness Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, representing the Princess," the gorgeously dressed youth standing at the very front of the guests, who had been chatting with the Prime Minister's wife, couldn't help but let his expression darken. Ignoring the secret tugging from his female companion, he spoke up bluntly and refuted:

"Mind your words! If we are truly talking about representation, then I represent the royal family, not anyone else!"
