Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?
Chapter 181: Just Scolding the Governor's Wife
The attitudes of these nobles in Tongshan Territory towards Lind are mostly quite contradictory. Most of them despise Lind and think that he is a nouveau riche, but they also want to get close to Lind.
The concrete manifestation of this contradictory attitude is that these nobles want to surrender, but they are unwilling to surrender. Even Lind's "Nobility Reform Regulations" and "Land Distribution Bill" are not the main reasons why these nobles are unwilling to surrender.
The real reason was that Lind's actions were too disgraceful. He almost did not treat these nobles as nobles. In the eyes of these nobles, even if they wanted to surrender, they had to be different from those ordinary people. Lind had to make enough gestures and "invite" them to surrender.
Moreover, they claimed that they had lived here before the arrival of the Lars family, and that Grand Duke Lars had to use honorifics when speaking to them. Why should they be deprived of their noble glory after surrendering to Linde?
Therefore, Lord Tongshan had previously made up a song to slander Lind, which roughly meant that Lind was a nouveau riche, whose title was just a small viscount, and who had to bow when he met a real noble, in order to gain a spiritual victory.
However, as the front line rushed towards Tongshan Territory every day, these nobles were still quite worried. After all, they were not really stubborn, they just wanted to get the so-called "due respect", or to have a better deal with Linde and get more benefits by surrendering.
I have to say that these nobles are quite good. At least these songs are catchy and quickly spread among Doug. Even in the areas occupied by Lind, some places also know these songs.
But Lind did not care. Although the bards were helping to control the spread of these ballads, it was far from the level of literary inquisition. They were more about refuting some rumors in the ballads.
Having experienced the baptism of the domestic Internet in his previous life, this level of situation was not even a big deal to Lind. There was no need to get angry with these nobles. Lind even wanted to investigate who composed these ballads. It might be a good idea to "invite" them to write nursery rhymes.
However, these nobles misunderstood. Seeing that Linde did not react after being scolded, they thought that Linde had an unexpectedly good temper and probably still had some dignity. They also guessed that Linde wanted to be a benevolent leader and would not slaughter nobles at will.
Although the Laurent family was dismantled after surrendering, most of them were still living relatively well. The governor probably didn't want to do anything extreme, which gave these nobles the illusion that Linde still had a minimum of respect for the nobles.
In fact, this is survivor bias. The root cause is that those abstract nobles were killed so cleanly that no one spoke for them.
So when the Ambrose family approached these nobles and said they had a good idea, these nobles all gladly accepted the invitation.
At this time, Dean was wearing the luxurious robes passed down from his ancestors. He used the magic echo to say at the ball: "Everyone, we all know that Governor Linde's army is about to arrive at his loyal Copper Mountain Territory, although Governor Linde's attitude towards those noble families along the way was not friendly."
Dean paused for a moment here, and said with a look of deep sorrow: "But have you ever thought about why the benevolent Governor-General, who is a descendant of the old empire, does not act like a nobleman at all, but like a nouveau riche?"
The other nobles were talking about it, and most of them still did not agree with the claim that they were descendants of the old empire. After all, Lind himself was too lazy to admit it. But after hearing what Dean said, most of them became interested.
"Because the current Governor's wife is a disgrace to the nobility! Don't you know what kind of character this Governor's wife, the eldest daughter of the Lars family, has? She is uneducated, does not know etiquette, and is extremely vulgar! The Governor was influenced by such a woman and became like this today. He does not care about the glory of the nobility and does not have the dignity of the nobility."
Afterwards, fearing that these nobles were not aware of Reina’s past reputation, Dean also gave them some popular science on the spot.
Soon, the image of a sarcastic, rude and evil woman gradually took shape in everyone's mind.
"So how can we save our Governor and turn him back into a noble descendant of the old empire?"
Amid the grand magic fireworks, Lise slowly appeared on the stage in a dress, leaving many nobles in the audience stunned.
"That's right. As long as we send my precious daughter, Lise, our precious daughter of Tongshan Territory, away and drive away that evil woman, the Governor-General will be able to become a true noble and a noble descendant of the old empire!"
There was warm applause and cheers at the scene. Regardless of the matter of kicking Lena out, the idea of marrying a woman to Linde was indeed feasible in the eyes of these nobles.
Although this world advocates monogamy because of the Goddess Cult, the actual situation is very complicated. Keeping mistresses is no longer a secret among the nobles, and because the Goddess Cult is gradually becoming secularized, some people take this opportunity to legalize the mistresses that were already public.
In addition, Augustine III had completely suppressed religion at that time. Although he only had one queen, he took the lead in marrying many wives. Therefore, it is normal for some high-ranking nobles to have several wives.
The nobles immediately began to discuss how to send Lise to Lind. As long as Lise could reach Lind, these nobles did not believe that Lind would not be conquered by Lise's charm. Even if Governor Lind had the face to accept her as a mistress, it would be enough for the Lord of Tongshan.
With someone by their side to talk to them, perhaps the land and properties of the nobles in Tongshan County could be preserved. At least that's what these nobles thought.
What's more, these nobles believed that Lise could be more than just a mistress. How could Lena Lars, who had no manners and no upbringing, possibly compete with Lise, who had been immersed in aristocratic education since childhood and was a socialite among celebrities?
Some nobles even felt a little sorry that Lise was just handed over to Lind.
Although some nobles believe that the power of the Lars family is behind Lena, Lind is now holding high the flag of the Lars family, which is likely to cause dissatisfaction from the Lars family.
But these nobles didn't care. They didn't want Lise to really become the Governor's wife. If they wanted to stabilize the Lars family, they could just leave a title for Lena. How could Governor Linde not think of something that even they could think of?
Moreover, what these nobles are best at is stirring up public opinion. With just a little movement, they can give Linde many reasons to abandon Lena.
So, under the leadership of the Ambrose family, these nobles stopped slandering Lind and started to slander and insult Rena instead. This was much easier than slandering Lind. After all, Rena's reputation in the aristocratic circle was not very good.
Even when they directly insulted the governor himself, the other party did not react. They only insulted the governor's wife. These nobles felt that the governor did not need to argue with them about such a thing.
Not only that, Dean also sent his youngest son Dam, bringing Lise's portrait, to the Gray Collar to meet Linde in the name of surrender.
