Boyden added:

"What's more serious is that Scott can provide physical and personal evidence. He can prove that Xi Lun's purpose is to kill Scott."

"(F... beautiful words)!"

Xi Lun held his head in annoyance, "Why is my luck so bad! It's because I had an argument with the egg tart shop. So many things happened..."

Bonnie interrupted Xiren's complaint directly:

"It just shows that you haven't learned your lesson by getting me involved in your plan to drown Xien."

The eldest lady had said this, and the Duke looked at Xi Lun with strange eyes again.

...

"Xi Lun, it's ok for you to make some mistakes at home. But this time you even made things happen outside. You even brought it to your enemies."

The speaker was Lisa Haines, the second Duchess of Haines and Nora's younger sister.

She has dark milk tea-colored hair that is very similar to Nora's, but the sheen of her hair is not as good as Nora's. Her eyes are purple. She looks a bit like Nora.

Unfortunately, she just looks like a mean woman.

If Lisa didn't know Nora's words and deeds and what to do to please the Duke, she would not have become Nora's substitute.

After Xi Lun shut up with one sentence, Lisa stirred the tea in her hand and looked at the lady with an attitude that it had nothing to do with her:

“It seems that you, as a mother, have not educated your child well!

"Hahaha! As expected, children born from lowly bloodlines have very poor upbringing!"

Lisa is Nora's biological sister, so her real name is Lisa Lange. She was born a viscount, which is better than Susan who was born a poor baron.

The Lady Lord knew she was in the wrong, but she still cursed: "As if you had educated Boyden well..."

The lord suddenly laid his hand on his lady's arm, signaling her to stop talking.

Then the lord whispered to his lady:

""Anyway, Boyden has no right to inherit the family, so he shouldn't bother with this spoiled woman.""

The Lady glared at Lisa and cursed softly:

"If Nora hadn't died, this mean woman wouldn't have become the second wife of the Duke of Haines!"

Then the Lady put her hands on her skirt, her eyes full of the favored Second Duchess.

She felt sick when she saw Lisa sitting next to Atole and freely holding Atole's hand and acting coquettishly!

The lady of the lord was secretly thinking:

"I still don't know how this woman secretly got rid of Nora. Once I find evidence, I will send her to jail!"

Boyden looked at his strong mother and felt depressed. He clenched his fists on the armrests:

"The current Haines is a mess. Although they all work for the benefit of the family.

But Xilun does not have the absolute reputation to intimidate everyone - even my father has always been suppressed by the lord..."

He felt guilty: even though his family was about to be disgraced, his family members were only thinking about how to mitigate their own guilt instead of finding a solution.

Even at a time like this, they were still speaking oppressive words to each other!

Boyden looked at Xiren again, who was still wondering "why Scott was so cruel", and he felt more and more helpless.

"Ugh..."

"If it was my eldest brother who was the heir, wouldn't there be so many problems?"

Boyden thought about the things he had inquired about - all about Brother Sheen, whom he had never met.

Sheen was admitted to Pereo College, where he obtained many patents for technological property rights and even used the Impess platform to develop patents, making a lot of money.

He also loves to learn, and based on his powerful magic power, he constantly researches new magic formulas. These magic formulas are even used flexibly in the workshop.

I heard that Sheen had been strengthening his physical training while being raised by the guardians of the magic tower, and he even won the first place in magic battles.

"Sheen is a different kind of Haines - he is good at magic and scheming, and he has carved out his own niche in terms of force and wealth."

"Ah...and I heard that the eldest brother is the blond master."

Boyden lowered his head and thought,

"Unfortunately, my eldest brother died early. He left none of his wealth to Haines. Almost all of it is in Ivan's hands."

"My father wanted to use marriage to get the property back, but unfortunately my sister failed at the critical moment and exposed her true nature..."

"Oh my god, I don't want to be punished!"

Fanny's unreasonable noise brought Boyden back to his senses.

Boyden rolled his eyes at Fanny with a helpless expression, but Fanny was immersed in her own world of "The Injustice of Dou E" and couldn't extricate herself.

Fanny held her head in her hands and continued to complain:

"Maybe they felt that Brother Xilun had not been punished and that things had not developed as they had expected. That's why they resorted to such cruel means...

"The Duke won't let that happen, will he? No?"

Julian reached out and touched Fanny's hair, then continued:

"We should not be able to bear any punishment. They should not be so cruel as to take away the Duke's governance.

"But if it was just a simple fine, they wouldn't make such a big fuss. I'm still worried about the 'another more sinful thing' mentioned in the document. Maybe this is the key to their application for arbitration."

After listening to Julian's opinion, the Duke closed his eyes and nodded:

"Don't worry, everyone. Xi Lun is Haines's successor. I will never let something like this ruin his future. I will use all my connections to find out what is going on..."

"It seems to be too late." Bonnie interrupted the Duke's delusion.

She reached out and picked up the letter on the table, and said to the Duke calmly:

"This is the arbitration defendant document. Impex is the plaintiff. After the arbitration document is issued, arbitration will be conducted at the latest the day after tomorrow..."

Bonnie's deep blue eyes were filled with worry as she spoke the following words:

"We had no preparation and it's very bad for Haines right now."

Xilun continued to complain:

"No wonder Scott kept me in custody for two days. He must have kept all the evidence during these two days. It's so abominable—"

"If you don't do this, they won't catch you." Lisa rolled her eyes at Xiren.

Then, Lisa looked at the anxious Duke:

"Atole, is there really nothing we can do?"

Atole smacked his lips in disgust:

"What's even more terrifying is that the two parties to the arbitration are the two major duke families. Almost all the nobles will pay attention to the trial results, so naturally...

"The Inquisitor must be a member of the royal family."

If the judge is a member of the royal family, the emperor and the empress have their own official duties. If the two princes have grown up and are capable of handling official duties on their own.

In order to deal with this arbitration, both princes should be present at the same time to conduct the trial.

Hearing this, the corners of the lord's mouth rose slightly.

"Members of the royal family? Then I have an idea."

The Lord sneered and said to the Duke,

"We will write a letter to the Second Prince later and let him preside over the arbitration alone."
