Chapter 348 Taking Advantage of the Situation
Following Qin's sudden change in expression and eyes, Lisa and Eula also looked at the maid Gu Chen in confusion.
Since Eula had never seen a lady before, she did not recognize Rosalyn.
At most, I think this maid is pretty and...big.
Well, big in every sense of the word.
But Lisa was different, she had met the lady.
So she quickly recognized Rosaline's identity and was a little surprised.
After a moment of shock, Lisa calmed down.
Holding the teacup in her hand, the Rose Witch looked at Gu Chen meaningfully.
The look in his eyes was clear: Can you explain it to me?
Shrugging helplessly, Gu Chen began to introduce Rosaline to everyone, explaining her previous identity and her current identity.
After the introduction, Gu Chen assured everyone.
He said, Rosalin is my maid now, and she is a very quiet and obedient maid. She will never cause any trouble to anyone, I promise!
Since Gu Chen had made such a promise, Qin and Lisa had nothing to say and could only accept this reality for the time being.
But... I felt a little reluctant to accept it.
Think about it too.
The lady who had caused them a lot of trouble in Mond before, the Fatui executor who was a problem for the entire Knights, had become an obedient maid to Gu Chen!
This feeling made them feel a little bit subtle.
At the same time, it also made them realize that Gu Chen's influence was indeed strong.
The Fatui's executive officer could only serve as his maid, and it was the Fatui's commander-in-chief who sent him here to be his maid.
This is really... incomparable.
After Gu Chen introduced Rosaline, he introduced Xiangling and Shenhe to Qin and Lisa.
Everyone greeted each other, got to know each other, and became friends, but that's not mentioned.
After everyone got to know each other and became friends, the atmosphere in the living room became more lively.
We are all here, chatting and laughing and having a great time.
As we chatted that day, we couldn't help but talk about Eula.
After all, the protagonist and victim of today's events is Eula.
When we talked about her, we couldn't help but talk about the recent rumors about her in the city.
When talking about this, Eula became furious and had no good face towards her family.
Eula said, are there any tribes in the world that are more deceitful than this?
She joined the Knights Templar, worked diligently for the Knights Templar and contributed to Mondstadt. Why?
In addition to realizing his own value, he also wants to improve the family's reputation and change the Lawrence family!
But my own family not only doesn't understand me, but also keeps holding me back!
Not only is he holding me back, he even arranged a marriage for me without my permission and treated me like an object, wanting to sell me in exchange for a betrothal gift!
It would have been fine if it was just an engagement, but the family actually acted without authorization and spread rumors throughout the city that I had broken off the engagement, saying that I was ungrateful!
He ruined his reputation like this and forced himself to compromise. This kind of person is simply not acceptable to our tribe!
Seeing Eula's indignation, Lisa smiled and comforted her:
"Eula, don't be too sad.
There's a saying in Liyue: "A blessing in disguise."
Gu Chen, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but raise his head in question.
Does Liyue have this sentence?
Never mind, just consider it as it is.
After hearing Lisa's advice, Eula couldn't help but wonder:
"What's the meaning?
Is it a good thing that my reputation has been ruined by my own people?"
Lisa smiled more mysteriously:
"Maybe that's true."
Putting the teacup on the coffee table, Eula almost laughed out loud:
"Oh? Then I'd like to ask you, Lisa.
How can such rumors spreading all over the streets and ruining my reputation be considered a good thing?"
Lisa quietly stirred the black tea in her hand with a small spoon. Her demeanor was very elegant at this moment:
"I have always believed that when it comes to rumors and public opinion, it is better to channel them than to block them.
So, after hearing the rumors on the streets a few days ago about you breaking off the engagement and going against your family, I immediately found Qin.
Jean was having a headache at the time and wanted to order the Knights to stop the spread of rumors.
After figuring out what was going on, I persuaded Qin to stop and told her that it was better to let go than to block.
I said, rather than blocking public opinion in Mondstadt and ruining Eula's reputation.
It would be better to take advantage of the situation and direct the rumors and public opinion in a direction that is beneficial to Eula.
After listening to my advice, Qin thought it made sense and did as I suggested.
So, Eula.
The rumors you heard today were the result of our guidance.
Besides, these rumors and public opinion may not necessarily do you any harm."
Hearing this, Eula was inevitably confused.
She thought about it carefully.
After following Gu Chen and the others into Mond City, he heard a lot of people chirping around him.
She didn't hear the specific content of Cricket's speech clearly, she only heard some key words.
Based on those key words, she judged that it must be a rumor that was unfavorable to her.
Now it seems that the judgment at that time was a bit arbitrary.
Just as Youla was thinking, Gu Chen, who was sitting next to her, also smiled meaningfully.
At that time, Youla didn't hear clearly what the people around her were saying, but Gu Chen heard it clearly.
It was because he heard it clearly that he said at that time that this might not be a bad thing.
Now it seems that this is indeed the case. The rumors in Mondstadt have indeed been transformed from being unfavorable to Eula into being favorable to Eula after official guidance.
So the question is, what is the content after this transformation?
Full of doubts, Eula couldn't help but ask Xiang Qin and Lisa:
“Okay, how exactly did you guide the rumors and public opinion?
What kind of rumors are these that actually benefit me?
You know, I've never been well-liked by the people of Mondstadt."
After taking a sip of tea, Lisa began to answer with a smile.
Actually, there is nothing much to say. It’s still the same four words: take advantage of the situation.
What were the rumors originally spread by the Lawrence family?
It's nothing more than that Eula is ungrateful and has become a traitor to the Lawrence family, resisting the marriage arranged by the family for her, and such a traitor must die a miserable death.
If it is just a simple rumor like this, once it turns into widespread public opinion, it will definitely cause a huge blow to a person's reputation.
But... the Lawrence family overlooked one point.
That is, the reputation of their Lawrence family in Mond is even worse!
Almost all Mond people hate the Lawrence family.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and the traitor of my enemy... can barely be considered one of ours.
Even if they are not one of us, at least they are not enemies.
So in other words, Eula, the traitor of the Lawrence family, seems... quite acceptable.
This was the first reaction of the people of Mond after hearing the rumor spread by the Lawrence family.
