“Sometimes if you talk too much, people will be afraid of you.

The Duke said calmly:

"do not you know?"

Xi Lun put his hands together and lowered his head:

Atole actually sided with Sheen...

Xi Lun defended himself:

"But...

"But he was the one who said I didn't have the attitude to have an heir..."

The Duke rested his head on his right hand, sighed, and said:

“Xion has never received an aristocratic education, nor has he ever enjoyed the protection of others.

“It’s normal for Sheen to be dissatisfied with my arrangement and to be wary.

"And you have always received the best resources. But you showed dissatisfaction after Sheen showed up."

Is there really something wrong with my education?

Xilun?"

The Duke's deep blue eyes revealed a cold look:

"answer me."

Xi Lun felt incredible when he heard the Duke's statement:

“But it was clearly him who framed me first, saying that I was the murderer who caused their accident.

"And they said I did this to kill him and that I implicated Sister Bonnie. Isn't this clearly accusing me of a crime?"

"Why are you and your sister willing to believe what a foreign bastard says..."

"Xiron!"

The Duke's roar completely suppressed Xi Lun's arrogance.

"I said that Xien did not receive aristocratic education and would indeed do something excessive.

"But that's on the condition that you provoke him first,"

The Duke shouted,

"You don't even have this much tolerance. I'm so disappointed!"

Xi Lun still stood there, eyes wide open, fists clenched:

"Father..."

The Duke did not give Xi Lun any chance to defend himself:

"Is it Sheen who framed you, or is it true? I will find out everything."

The Duke looked at Xi Lun, his eyes revealing an attitude of "mud cannot be helped against the wall".

"If you really do something stupid like this, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

Xi Lun was stunned and muttered:

"What do you mean..."

...

Da da da...

Xi Lun walked lostly in the dim corridor on the third floor of the Duke's Mansion.

He thought of what the Duke had said when he adopted him:

"Do you know what healing power means? It means that you are the legitimate bloodline of the Haines family, the only heir."

"No matter what happens in the future, you must learn to be strong..."

His body suddenly went limp and he collapsed against the wall:

"Well..."

He struggled to turn himself over, but he couldn't hold on and fell to his knees.

"Obviously...

"Obviously, I am the heir who has been with the Duke for so many years..."

"But why would he believe what Sheen said now..."

A man suddenly appeared from the corner, his hands on the wall:

"Xiron?"

The person who came was actually Sheen.

Ironically, he was wearing pajamas:

"Why are you kneeling on the ground? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xien took a few steps forward and came to the side of the distraught Xilun, looking down at Xilun's pale face.

"Ok?"

Xien tilted his head and after confirming that no one was around, he stared at Xiren with a sly look.

"Humph."

"Why are there tears in the corners of your eyes? Did you cry?" Xien bent down repeatedly and then reached out to Xilun.

Snapped!

"Go away!" Xi Lun hit Sheen's hand hard.

Xien covered his injured hand and watched the orthodox healing power heal his wound:

“It hurts.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Don't hit people even if you're angry."

Xi Lun stood up angrily, leaning against the wall.

"I need to calm down, calm down..."

Xi Lun forced himself to take a deep breath.

But he suddenly realized that Sheen was now wearing pajamas.

"Why are you dressed like this...how come you are in the Duke's Mansion?" Xi Lun questioned Sheen.

"Are you talking about me?"

Sheen pointed at himself.

"In order to protect his children, the Duke ordered that protective measures be strengthened during Bonnie's recovery. The servants almost took shifts and even kept watch late at night.

"Someone has set his sights on Haines's heir, and no one will slack off until the truth is revealed."

Sheen added:

“And I moved in today, waiting for the investigation of the case that framed me to be cleared up.

"And the Duke's own children would have lived on the third floor of the Duke's Mansion when the family was linked.

"Isn't this the custom at Haines?"

“I now have my own room on the third floor, just like you.

"You can move in whenever you want to talk to father..."

When Xien addressed the Duke, he deliberately used "father" to stimulate Xiren even more.

"What's all the fuss about?"

After listening to Sheen's statement, Xi Lun couldn't sit still anymore -

You know, he has to be summoned by the Duke to see him.

And this blond boy in front of me can be seen at any time...

Sure enough, the impatient Xi Lun grabbed Xi En by the collar and yelled at him:

"What? You actually called the Duke "Father". Do you really think you are the Duke's son?!

"Listen carefully, I am the legitimate heir recognized by the Duke.

"You are not worthy of being on equal terms with me!"

Sheen said he had experienced this kind of routine.

"Pfft haha!"

Sheen put his hand on Xiren's elbow and pressed it back.

Xi Lun let him go and pushed him aside, then laughed wildly while holding his belly.

"You are just as my father described you to be, a petty-minded fellow!

"I really can't imagine what you will mess up after you inherit the Duke's Mansion."

Xi Lun pointed at himself with his eyes wide open:

"I... am petty?"

"Yes." Sheen nodded with satisfaction.

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you a secret. The eldest lady told me at dinner that my name was given by my mother.

"As for your name..."

The corners of Xien's mouth rose.

"My father created it by imitating the pronunciation of my name.

"This means that you are just my substitute!"

(The origin of the name 'Xi Lun' is so simple. The readers can't help it)

I... alternatives??

Xiren fell into deep thought.

"Listen, Xilun, I will stay here forever,"

Xien took a few steps forward and leaned close to Xiren's ear.

"Then slowly, everything that belongs to you will be taken away."

"Humph,"

"Please look forward to it."

After saying that, Sheen walked forward and disappeared into the dim corridor.

Only Xi Lun was left standing there in a daze.

......

It was indeed as Sheen himself said, the Duke placed him in a room on the third floor of the Duke's Mansion to wait for the verdict of this case.

(Don’t think too much, I’ll be gone after the verdict is announced)

The quality of life here is pretty good.

No one can enter the room without his permission.

But his ears were not so peaceful—because everyone who served him said he was very well behaved.

really?

"Maybe there is no harm without comparison..." Sheen could only ignore these words.

It's another sunny morning.

"Ah~"

Sean got up from the soft and comfortable big bed, and washed and dressed with the help of the senior maid.

Life is pretty good now~
