Chapter 349 Obstruction
This does not mean that Lu Jia was dumbfounded, or that he was a scumbag, who was indifferent to his daughter marrying his mortal enemy. He was just confirming whose child this swaddled baby was.
His eyes never left the little Eudolia from beginning to end, and such an obvious action also attracted the attention of Augusta Placidia.
"Oh, it seems that Lord Luca is very interested in this child." Praxitea looked at Luca and said with a smile: "After all, she is your sister's daughter."
Her smile was very meaningful, as if she was warning Luca. After all, the nobles were so corrupt that they wanted to try anything. Even Praxiteia was not sure what Luca was thinking. Even if he was a so-called relative, the fearless nobles would not mind. Of course, Praxiteia was also on guard against this. However, judging from the current situation, Praxiteia was really overthinking, or she had completely misunderstood Luca.
"Oh, nothing, nothing. Sorry, dear Augusta." Luca waved his hands repeatedly, apologizing to Pracidia with a big smile on his face. Facing Pracidia's weird expression, Luca really felt like he was completely misunderstood. In Augusta's eyes, this made him very embarrassed. He looked around and tried to find an excuse to say goodbye to Pracidia.
Seeing Luca trying to leave in such an awkward manner, Likinia was unwilling to do so. She wanted to speak, but could not find an excuse for a while. Holding her daughter in her arms, she was thinking hard when little Eudolia groaned, perhaps because of the trembling of her legs.
It was this ordinary little complaint that gave Li Jinia an idea. She quickly pinched Eudolia's butt in her arms. The sudden pain made Eudolia burst into tears, and the whole room was instantly filled with such loud crying.
The crying not only startled Luca, but also forced Praxiteles to cover her ears and complain: "Oh, my God, Liginia, please make this little guy shut up. Oh, my God, my chest and head are hurt by this little devil."
"Oh, sorry, sorry, Mother!"
Li Jinia frantically tried to coax little Eudolia in her arms, but the little girl refused to give in, fully showing her princess syndrome to everyone present. It turned out that this disease was innate. The little girl cried and made a scene as if she wanted everyone present to find out the murderer before she would stop. Li Jinia tried very hard, but it was no use.
"Mother, I can only carry her out." Liginia looked hurried, afraid that she had offended Praxiteia. She held the crying Eudolia in her arms, walked to Luca, raised her head, and said hurriedly: "Dear brother, help me."
Luca couldn't make a decision. He looked at Pracitia and didn't leave until Augusta Pracitia nodded. Then he hurried out with Licinia.
Likinia held little Eudolia and Luca all the way to her room, and she closed the door tightly. At this time, the anxious look on her face disappeared, replaced by calmness and kindness. She patiently put little Eudolia on the carefully made crib and gently stroked her cheek.
Soon, little Eudolia stopped crying and started laughing as if nothing had happened.
"My dear, I was waiting for your answer, but you said nothing." Liginia stroked little Eudolia while pretending to be angry and questioned Luca in a reproachful tone.
"You, you are talking about me." Luca pretended to be confused, and asked Likinia: "Is this girl really, really my child?"
"No, it's you and me, my love." Likinia smiled and raised her head, looking at Lujia with her eyes full of affection. She was so gentle that even her words were seductive. She only looked at Lujia for a moment, but this one glance made Lujia shiver all over, as if he had been electrocuted.
"This is ridiculous, really, very ridiculous!" Luga said, slowly taking a few steps back. His mind was blank now, and he didn't know what to do or what to say. He just believed that Likinia must be deceiving him, it must be like this.
"You always don't believe the facts." Liginia sighed, looked down at the little Eudolia playing with her fingers, and said to Luca in a very gentle tone: "Look, this child is so much like you. You have to think about it. When she grows up, Valentinian will notice some clues. How do you explain it? My dear brother."
"How to explain it! Damn, this is totally kidnapping!" Bad thoughts immediately emerged in Luga's mind. Is Likinia doing this just to ruin his reputation?
"What a vicious woman." Luca gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush up and strangle Liginia to death, and then who cares about this little girl? Who cares about this little girl? She's going to marry a Vandal, so let him be! Although it's just imagination, it can only be thought of.
Seeing Luca gritting his teeth like that, Likinia couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"My dear brother, after all, you have admitted who this little girl belongs to."
Likinia's words made Luca lose his temper immediately. He really didn't know what to do with this woman. Unconsciously, a sense of frustration arose in his heart. He didn't expect that he had always been clever all his life, but in front of this woman, he was always at a loss for words and became a plaything in her hands. He didn't even have the ability to resist.
"Why am I so stupid!" Lu Jia cursed himself in his heart, but now that things have come to this, how can he prove that he is not the biological father of this girl? There is no way to prove it, so he can only admit it.
"Speak now." It was as if he had surrendered. After all, it was not the first time that Luka had surrendered to this woman. "What do you want to do? You are threatening me with this little girl. What do you want?"

"What?" Li Jiniya's expression seemed incredible. She looked surprised, but more importantly, sad and lost.
"How many times do I have to tell you before you can believe me!" Likinia looked at Luca with tears in her eyes and said to him in a sobbing tone: "She is your daughter, she is your daughter, you actually think I am threatening you?" As she spoke, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and continued: "This child, your daughter, is about to be engaged to a barbarian. Even if I beg you, even if you are her uncle, please help her! She is still a child!"
Unable to bear the inner pressure any longer, Liginia burst into tears. Her mother's crying made little Eudolia not know how to laugh, and she could only cry with her mother.
"What's going on?" Looking at the mother and daughter, Luga asked himself. He stroked his head and asked himself what was going on.
