Since things have come to this, let's just make the best of a bad situation!
Lexington did not have Bernardo's father look for Rocky, as that would be too embarrassing, and in fact, he not only did not cancel the duel but instead planned to go all out in supporting Bernardo to win the duel!
Indeed, the outcome of the duel would hardly affect the family, and it could even be said that regardless of the outcome, it would only bring trouble to the family, differing only in extent. But since everything could no longer be changed, they might as well give it their all!
Lexington was not only going to let Bernardo participate in the duel, but he was also determined to see him win. This might not change the family's situation, or it might even make it worse, but at the very least, at the very least, it could allow the family to hold their heads high in front of Rocky!
