Chapter 171
Liz's face was full of tenderness. She held Jincheng's hand tightly, as if she wanted to pass on her strength to him.
Her eyes were full of partiality for Jincheng, and she kept madly accusing her daughter to Jincheng:
"My dear son-in-law, don't worry. Your father-in-law will definitely solve these problems. He will...
You have to believe us. Fiona is really not a bad person. She is just a little willful!
She is just spoiled by me!"
Liz's tone was full of helplessness and pampering. She loved her daughter without reservation. Even in this tense moment, she subconsciously defended her daughter.
"You have to believe me and your father-in-law. We have already regarded you as a member of our Laurent family.
We are all family!
I have also regarded you as my own son and valued you.
If you encounter any difficulties in your life in the future, you can come to us!
What Fiona did this time was really too much, dear son-in-law, your father-in-law and I can understand you very well.
We will not cover up for Fiona.
You must not..."
Liz's status is very high, the mistress of the Laurent family, the countess...
This makes Liz not communicate with others in such a humble manner for a long time.
But as a qualified mother who loves her daughter deeply, and a person in power who has joined the game of power.
The smart Mrs. Liz knows that her daughter is about to end.
Liz knows:
At the sacred and solemn wedding, the bride Fiona actually treated the groom in such a provocative and humiliating way.
Even if her words of invitation and challenge were gorgeous, it was difficult to conceal the harshness and disrespect in them.
At this moment, no one would care whether her words were pleasant or not.
If he resolutely threw away the white gloves in his hand that represented the invitation to fight and left angrily in this duel scene.
No one would ridicule the young nobleman for cowardice.
Because everyone can understand his anger and helplessness.
However, once he did this, Fiona's future would probably be overshadowed.
She would never be able to marry a nobleman who was well-matched and legitimate.
She might even be disliked and resisted by most nobles, after all.
No nobleman would be willing to marry a woman who raised a sword against him at a wedding.
And the emblem of the Laurent family would be covered with a layer of dust that was difficult to wipe off because of this incident.
The family's reputation and good family education might have been infamous because of this.
But fortunately, Jincheng was given the name of Laurent by Sebastian in advance, which saved the family from this disaster.
Jincheng subconsciously pulled his hand.
Good guy, he couldn't pull it at all.
The man's right hand was tightly held by Mrs. Liz.
This woman, who didn't look very strong, but was a little thin, this time, the hands that grabbed Jincheng's arm were like two iron clamps, as if she was afraid that Jincheng would let go.
Even if Jincheng wanted to run, he would probably have to drag the lady beside him with one hand.
"Mom..." The man said helplessly to the middle-aged lady who was a little hesitant beside him.
"Hey!" Mrs. Liz squeezed out an ugly smile on her hesitant face, and turned her head to respond to the man.
Then, what Mrs. Liz saw was:
Jincheng gently patted the lady's hand, and his eyes flashed with a warm light, as if a quiet power, which made people's hearts involuntarily calm down.
Mrs. Liz was immersed in this warm gaze, and time seemed to start to flow backwards.
She seemed to have returned to the wedding 23 years ago. The moment she first saw Sebastian, he was so handsome and gentle.
"Miss Fiona! My wife, I am willing to accept your invitation to duel!"
Jincheng raised the exquisite white gloves in his hand high, his voice was loud and firm, full of confidence and strength.
The strength of a strong person is the foundation of a person, so Jincheng is as confident as Fiona.
Even in the face of this group of powerful Demacia nobles, he can still maintain confidence and never back down.
After the voice fell, Mrs. Liz's tears burst out, and she held Jincheng's arm more tightly.
Even the custom-made dress was scratched by Liz.
At this moment, her heart was full of complicated emotions.
She was full of love and appreciation for her gentle son-in-law, but also worried about her proud and conceited daughter.
She even began to wonder if she had been too permissive with her daughter and therefore had not taught her well enough to be a more humble and gentle person.
