After the meal was finished, the servants cleaned up the dining table, and the conversation began between the several people.

"Scott, what did your father just asked you to do?" Maria Henry spoke.

Scott briefly described the previous situation.

After hearing this, Maria Henry frowned slightly: "I guess this bad idea was probably produced by that guy Aiden again, but in this way, you can successfully inherit the position of the leader. However, if you don't have the power, you still need to wait patiently and must not agree immediately."

Scott agreed, "Yes, mother, I didn't promise him."

"Mother, then when will your father give the power to his brother and abdicate himself?" asked the younger sister Kelly.

Before Mrs. Maria could answer her daughter's question, a noise sounded outside the door, and then Ian and Aiden hurriedly ran in.

"Son, save me quickly, they are going to kill me!" Ian hid behind Scott with trembling body.

Before Scott could come to his senses, the curtain was lifted, and several people rushed in.

"Madame Maria, Sir Scott."

After seeing Maria Henry, these people just stopped moving forward and greeted the two casually. Their arrogant and domineering aura still did not stop: "Ian, if you don't pay back the money, I will send troops to attack you Norfolk immediately."

Scott looked up and found that the person in charge was no one else, but Aldridge, the brother-in-law of the Count of Suffolk, the nobleman in the Suffolk area.

Suffolk is located in the south of Norfolk and is also part of the East England region. Originally, Suffolk also belonged to the Scott family, but the nobles who manage this region now are William de La Boer, Earl of Suffolk.

Scott knew William de La Pole's personal information very well.

William de La Pohl was the commander and politician of the English Army, who manipulated the government of Henry VI from 1443 to 1450.

He inherited the title of Earl in 1415, participated in all the battles against France by Henry V from 1417 to 1422, and became Henry V's most trusted general.

In 1428, William de La Boer was promoted to commander-in-chief of the United Kingdom in France. On June 12, 1429, he was defeated and captured by Joan of Arc in Jarno. He was later redeemed and still served in his original position.

He was recalled to the country at the end of 1431, and served as the Royal Privy Councilor and Secret History for ten years. Last year, in 1443, he became the main consultant of Henry VI.

At the end of the Hundred Years' War, England, led by William de La Pole, was indecisive and indecisive, and eventually lost its entire continental territory. However, William de La Pole was not affected by the failure of the war and was named Duke of Suffolk in 1448.

Don’t think that William de La Pole has a good future now, nor do you think that he can escape the main responsibility for the failure of the Hundred Years’ War.

In May 1450, William de La Pole was impeached in Parliament. Parliament accused him of mishandling and corruption and urged him to have an accident. In order to avoid exorcising him, Henry VI announced his exile, but his escaped ship was robbed in the English Channel and was eventually killed on the spot.

It can be said that the end of Count Suffolk was tragic, but at this moment, Count Suffolk was the most glorious noble in the whole of England. Even many of the core nobles of the Lancaster family had to retreat and bow their heads after seeing Count Suffolk.

It's no wonder Ian and Aiden were scared to death, after all, the Suffolks were at the peak of power.

Facing the confidants of the Suffolk nobleman William de La Boer and looking at the many debtors and soldiers behind him, Scott was not afraid, but stood up and blamed him:

"What do you want to do when you rush into my mother's house? Don't forget that my mother is the aunt of His Majesty the King, and I am also the cousin of His Majesty the King, and we are even a side branch of the Lancaster family. Could it be that you are going to go against the entire Lancaster family?"

Scott's words immediately panicked the people on the other side, and all the debtors looked at Aldridge.

Although his brother-in-law William de La Pole was an important consultant to King Henry VI and the entire Suffolk family had a prominent political status in the Kingdom of England, Aldridge was somewhat unsure of his sense of ease when facing Maria Henry, who had a direct bloodline connection with the Lancaster family. In addition, Scott was scolding him angrily, and finally his momentum finally declined.

"Madam, Aldridge had no intention of arguing with you, but Ian owed a lot of money from the debtors. Now these debtors have entrusted me to help them pay off the debt, so I had to do it! Don't worry, today we are only targeting Ian, the leader of the Scott family, and will never disturb the lives of Mrs. and the Lord, and several ladies. Please believe my sincerity."

After hearing this, Maria Henry smiled: "Of course I believe in your sincerity. After all, your brother-in-law William de La Pole is a loyal supporter of our Lancaster family!"

"What the wife said is true. The Suffolks and their branches will always be supporters of the Lancaster family." Aldridge answered quickly.

Maria Henry waved his hand and said, "You are looking for Ian, right? Okay, you can take him away, I will never stop you. In addition, as for your debt problems, my son Scott will naturally help pay it back, but the premise is."

When Mrs. Mary said this, her eyes emitted a cold light: "Ian, this annoying guy, no longer exists. My son can successfully inherit the position of the leader of the Scott family, otherwise you won't have a penny."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's scalp became numb, and everyone's eyes immediately became awe at Maria Henry.

Scott was stunned at first, and then quickly understood his mother's intention!

Because in medieval Europe, if I want to successfully inherit the Scott family's position at this moment, there are only two ways:

First, the family leader Ian is dead and no longer exists, so he can inherit his position smoothly.

Second, unless Ian takes the initiative to abdicate.

But judging from the current situation, the second possibility is too small, and the second possibility will also leave hidden dangers for the future.

So from the moment, only the first one is the most likely and safest, and will not leave any sequelae.

Thinking of this in his heart, Scott had no objection to his mother's decision.
