Chapter 356 Schubert is really confused
Schubert explained why he called Eula a money-loser.
His words were very hurtful.
But from his words, one could also hear the attitude of a considerable number of people within the Lawrence family towards Eula.
It seems that this part of the Lawrence family really regards Eula as a traitor.
Sigh... Eula is really too difficult.
After spitting at Schubert in his heart and sighing for Eula, Gu Chen asked again:
“Well, I can see your attitude towards Eula.
But the question remains, after Chayevich is gone, why did you target me again?"
When asked by Gu Chen, Schubert suddenly showed a mocking expression:
“Huh, Chayevich?
That's a stupid upstart.
In terms of wealth, he is indeed very rich, and his money can indeed solve the urgent needs of our Lawrence family.
But that guy has no background at all, no aristocratic temperament or demeanor, all he cares about is money and profit!"
Gu Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Isn’t it the same for you?
Only care about money and interests.
Strictly speaking, you and Chayevich are the same kind of people. Mocking him here is just like the pot calling the kettle black.
Schubert didn't hear Gu Chen's criticism, he continued indignantly:
"If it were before, when our Lawrence family was still prosperous, an upstart like Chayevich wouldn't be worthy of our attention!
But things are different now. The situation within the family, especially the financial situation... is really difficult.
I can only continue to kick out Eula, the money-loser, from the family. It would be best if I could get enough benefits in return when kicking her out.
So, with no other choice, he could only settle for the second best and choose Chayevich.
Fortunately, Chayevich also wanted his descendants to have the blood of our noble Lawrence family, and we hit it off.
The engagement had already been made, and everything was going well, but I never expected... I never expected...
That money-losing girl, Eula, actually dared to oppose the marriage arranged by her family!"
By the time he had said this, Schubert had become hideous, with an extremely unhappy expression on his face:
"How could she dare to object? What right does she have to object? She should just stay in the family and wait to get married!
But this money-losing girl didn't do that. She rushed into the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain to avoid her family's marriage contract.
After waiting for Eula to come back with great difficulty, Chayevich died at your hands!
Our Lawrence family's marriage contract and all our plans have come to nothing!"
Schubert's face was full of ferocity at this moment, which was simply unbearable to look at.
If someone else showed this expression, even if it didn't scare Gu Chen and Rosaline, it would at least scare Paimon to a certain extent.
But this time, Paimon was not scared.
The little guy floated beside Gu Chen with his hands behind his back, staying there quietly without any fear.
The reason why he was not afraid at all was probably because Paimon was not afraid of Gu Chen, but because Schubert was too unreasonable and did not pose any threat to him.
I can only say that this person is really confused.
After being angry for a while, Schubert slapped the coffee table in front of him and finally got to the point:
"After learning that Chayevich was dead, I was very angry and wanted to take revenge on you, the murderer who ruined our family's plan.
But after thinking about it carefully, I think this is an opportunity. I think you are... okay."
I... am okay?
Gu Chen couldn't help but repeat the word "okay" in his heart.
He has been in this world for such a long time, but this is the first time he has heard such an evaluation as "it's okay".
He didn't know whether to laugh or be angry.
Keeping this mood, Schubert continued to bark:
"I heard that in Liyue, you seem to be the Gou Chen Star, and your status seems to be higher than the Liyue Seven Stars.
Well, I am quite satisfied with my official position.
Unfortunately, your influence and power are only within Liyue, not in Mondstadt, our family's base.
But I heard a piece of news yesterday that you became the Honorary Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius.
That's pretty good!
Even though he is a member of the Knights of Favonius, the enemy of our Lawrence family, the Grand Master still added the annoying word "honor" in front of his name.
But he is the captain after all, so he is barely worthy of my attention.
Taking all of the above into consideration, and considering your status and your various abilities, I will mercifully allow Eula to marry you."
At this point, Schubert stretched out his hands, his emotions as excited and high-spirited as an opera singer's:
"Cheer, jump for joy.
For someone of your background, being able to marry the daughter of our Lawrence family, even if she is a money-loser, is enough to make you proud and grateful!
Be grateful to our Lawrence family and appreciate the gifts and favors we have bestowed upon you!"
Schubert's face showed a look of almsgiving and contempt at this time, as if he had really done Gu Chen some great favor.
Gu Chen's hands began to itch.
His eyes were already fixed on Schubert's old face.
But at this time, he was still able to resist the urge to do so. He was really curious and wanted to understand Schubert's thoughts.
After pursing his lips, Gu Chen asked:
"That's why you're targeting me.
Because I can bring enough benefits to your Lawrence family?"
Schubert nodded with satisfaction:
"That's right.
Benefits are divided into tangible benefits and intangible benefits.
If Eula is married to Chayevich, she can get a considerable portion of the betrothal gift, which is a tangible and direct benefit that can be seen with the naked eye.
And marrying Eula to you...
Although the family does not benefit from it for the time being, in the long run, your presence can promote the family and may even make the family prosperous again.
The benefits you bring to our Lawrence family are long-term, intangible benefits!"
Just like plucking the strings of a pipa, Gu Chen stretched out his hand and pinched the black lines on his forehead one by one.
He was a little confused at this moment.
Do you think Schubert was short-sighted or far-sighted? Or a bit of both?
Alas...cannot comment.
Before Gu Chen could sigh, Schubert began to indulge himself again:
"Who made you the Honorary Grand Master of Mondstadt? Who made your status higher than that guy Jean?
After you marry Eula and become a member of our Lawrence family, you must use the power in your hands to make our Lawrence family join the control of Mond.
After that, we can use a series of methods to infiltrate the Knights of Favonius and the Church of Favonius.
Finally, step by step, we will bring both of Mond's two major institutions under the control of our Lawrence family!
In that case, the power of the entire Mond will be in the hands of the family, and our Lawrence family... can also be truly revived!
In this way, our Rouse family can restore the rule of the nobility in the past.
We will demote all those lowly people who look down on us into slaves! Let the entire Mondstadt forever prostrate itself at the feet of our Lawrence family!
Hahahahahaha..."
