After I became a real young master, I became famous for my bad behavior

Scott looked at the gray scar on the back of his hand and said calmly:

"What's that? I'm still the one with high talent,"

“Dad admitted that his talent was not as good as mine. He made countless efforts to gain a foothold in the north with absolute strength and authority.

"It took a long time just to clean up the mess. When he thinks back on that time, he always says, 'If we hadn't spent those years, the north would have been much better developed.'"

Eric shrugged helplessly:

"But my foolish grandfather chose my even more incompetent father... He should have just passed the throne to the Duke (referring to James)."

Scott looked at him meaningfully:

"Then you may not be in this world anymore."

Eric was silent for a moment, and suddenly an interesting question occurred to him:

"Scott?"

"Ok?"

Eric looked up at Scott who was still eating his snack:

"What would you do if I didn't have a good relationship with you?"

"what?"

Scott gently placed his fork on the edge of the plate and stared at Eric blankly.

"What kind of relationship is bad? Explain it clearly?"

Eric shrugged.

"It's...similar to the relationship between Xien and Xiren--

"I suddenly thought that the relationship between James and Jason was also very bad, and the relationship between Atole and Arthur was similar. Not to mention that Sheen and Siren of this generation were 'biological son' and 'adopted son'..."

When Scott heard Eric say this, he cried out in his heart:

"I suddenly realized that I had planted so many disasters for myself!"

Eric continued:

"Suppose I was just using the Duke back then, but I actually wanted to fight for the position of the head of the family. If I had not intended to give up my inheritance rights, I could have done it.

"The aristocratic circle still maintains the bad habit of 'male succession'. If I say I want to become the head of the family, there will definitely be many people who support me... You are the daughter of the legitimate family, what will you do to ensure your position?"

Scott knew it was a paradox as soon as he heard it:

"If you hadn't given up your inheritance rights and even harmed me, I would have killed you long ago!"

But to be honest, Scott didn't expect Eric to grow so fast twelve years later.

Compared to the shy, defenseless little boy at the age of eight, Eric has already got his life and happiness.

The position of the head of the family is no longer necessary for him.

"One thing that is better than others is that Eric prefers to rely on his family to fight for his own career. He does not rely on his family's wealth to steal other people's things."

Scott tilted his head and scratched his hair, hesitatingly saying:

"I don't think you're that kind of person. So I haven't really thought about this question.

"If I felt that you would affect my position, then of course I would—"

It seemed that Eric really had no intention of doing so. While Scott was answering, he was still humming a little tune and drinking his tea happily.

"Of course I have to find someone to marry first~"

"puff--!"

Eric spat out all the tea he had drunk right in front of Scott.

"Brother?" Scott widened his eyes, wet the handkerchief prepared beside him, and tried hard to wipe the tea that splashed on his body.

Eric's sky blue eyes were full of question marks:

"What is your... logic??"

"What can I do? Who says Impes is a symbol of wealth?"

Scott waved his hands helplessly.

"In order to prevent the outflow of funds, the best way for the heiress to prove that she is qualified to be the head of the Impes family is to become a married person before any competitors.

"Of course, the marriage partner must marry into the family," Scott added.

"Marry into the wife's family...?!"

Eric's mind quickly showed Stella holding hands with a man, and the two of them exchanging glances.

Even the man had to sit next to Stella at the dinner table.

"Just because he's Stella's husband?!"

No, no no...!

...

Eric coughed up the remaining tea in his mouth. After wiping the tea from the corners of his mouth, he turned slightly, patted his chest, and kept muttering:

"Fortunately, I didn't have this idea, otherwise I would have to watch a strange man stay with Stella. And I couldn't drive him away because he was a live-in son-in-law..."

Scott yelled at Eric:

"Brother! I told you this is just a hypothesis!

"But back to reality, if I want to continue my family line, I'll probably have to use this method. Whether it's Ivan or Eve."

Eric's face was filled with despair. He was silent for a long time and finally said:

"You use this trick... Anyway, I don't want to compete with you for the position."

"Is this the frustration of having a sister complex..." Scott waved his hands and smiled awkwardly.

......

Eric poured new tea into their cups.

"Although I was just joking. But I'd love to hear your thoughts on a spouse, Stella."

Eric's hands were shaking as he picked up the cup to drink water.

"The main thing is...some families who secretly know that you are a girl have already started sending marriage proposals. If you want to stop these voices from spreading, you really have to find a 'contract husband'."

Scott smacked his lips, thinking about the situation:

"You're right. After all, you're still two years away from getting married, and you've already proposed successfully. As the heir, I'm even more anxious about this matter."

"Otherwise, some people with ulterior motives will say that 'the heir is not good enough and even the non-heir can get married'."

Scott suddenly said:

"And if my daughter doesn't have a marriage partner after I inherit the family, Haines will most likely send the young master who failed in the fight for the title to us in order to win us over..."

...

"It's most likely... Xi Lun?"

That's even more dangerous!

Eric was really silent. In his mind, he put Xiren and Ivan on the same scale:

Ivan, win~

Then Eric said:

"Let that stupid boy take advantage?! Then I think you should find one yourself! But the Duke of Imperth can't be sent away just by anyone, right?"

Scott rested his chin on his hand and analyzed:

"I must find a man who is better than the one Haines thinks is excellent (Xi Lun)."

"And it would be best if this guy is the kind of tough guy that even Haines can't bribe. Then there's no need to worry about Haines trying to take away Impels' wealth."

Eric: ...

He added timidly:

"Hmm...Father doesn't care about the other party's financial resources. After all, no family is richer than Impes.

"Besides, rather than whether he is a noble or not, it is better to find an honest and capable commoner to be your solid backer. This way it will be easier when you get divorced."

Yuye was stunned: Why are you still thinking about divorce?

But he agrees with Eric:

"Yes. Because there are many arrogant men in the aristocratic circle. They must want to get a piece of the pie if they approach me..."

Scott suddenly laughed and clapped his hands happily:

"I think it doesn't matter if my spouse is a commoner. As long as he doesn't make mistakes in principle (use your imagination). I can still make sure that I am responsible for earning money to support the family, and he is responsible for being beautiful~"

"Wait a moment!"

Eric's eyes widened:

"Beautiful... like a flower?"
