pat.

The Duke mercilessly shook off Xiren's hand and cursed in disgust:

"I hate your hypocritical way of calling me that, and I will never tolerate you being so rude to my son!

"You're just like your father.

"I will send you back to the Duke's Palace right away. You should call me by this name in front of your father!"

Although the Duke scolded him like this, Xi Lun still felt that -

The Duke is saying, "My only heir is Sheen, and you will never be as good as him!"

Sheen, Sheen!

"It's all Sheen's fault!"

He clenched his fists and shouted at the Duke:

"That bastard showed up and pushed me out of here. I chased him away. I did nothing wrong!"

"You said Duke Haines's child is a slut?"

The Duke's face was distorted.

"No, did I do something wrong?"

Xi Lun touched his hand which was hurt by the Duke's beating.

"I grew up in this place. If someone suddenly appears and wants to take my place, it's only right for me to kick him out! Why are you kicking me out instead?!"

"You asked for this!"

The Duke suppressed his anger, stared at Xi Lun and answered coldly.

"Then why did you bring him back? Did I agree? It's because that bitch appeared next to you!"

Xi Lun shouted at the Duke, his tone full of contempt for Xi En.

"I did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong! The one who was wrong was that bitch, that bitch!"

The servants present were completely speechless by Xilun's unreasonable behavior.

They secretly thought that Xilun was "really disrespectful".

The Duke's hands were seen clenched into fists.

"No matter what I do, he won't die. What can I do?"

Xi Lun scratched his hair wildly. He couldn't accept the fact that the Duke had abandoned him.

"As long as he dies, or if he doesn't show up here at all, there won't be so many problems!"

The "last straw that broke the camel's back" appeared.

Snapped!

No one could have imagined that the Duke would slap Xi Lun hard in front of everyone.

"Wow!"

A timid maid covered her eyes in fear.

"Huff..." The Duke's face turned black.

The slap was obviously louder than when Sheen hit Xi Lun!

This was the first time Xilun was beaten by the Duke in his life.

He was thrown to the ground and sat on his butt.

"what!"

Although the body has the ability to heal, the pain on the face cannot be dissipated for a while.

This plot is similar to the scene in the novel where the Duke slaps Xi Lun in public after he mocks him in public.

It just happened earlier.

"How did you become like this..."

The Duke's hands were shaking when he put them down.

(Pause)

Sean was thoughtful when he heard Jimmy's statement.

If Xiren hadn't said, "As long as he dies...there won't be so many things!", the Duke might have still shown some mercy to Xiren.

Is it true that only when Xiren dies can Xien get rest?

It seems that this is the answer.

(Jimmy continues)

Seeing that Xi Lun regarded Sheen as a thorn in his side, the Duke gave up completely.

He was silent for a moment:

"Hahaha!"

"So you really are hopeless. What, you were brought up in pampered condition, and you can't stand seeing others being better than you, so you pick on me and make trouble, right?"

The Duke shook his hands, his eyes full of resentment.

"Or are you dissatisfied with my order?"

"How dare you express your dissatisfaction in my territory?!"

Xi Lun covered his face and stood up, his voice trembling for the first time:

"He is a bastard who grew up outside... Why should he be on equal footing with me...with me?"

"If he is really a good heir, why wouldn't he be willing to share his things with me? Aren't we all members of the Haines family?"

"That bitch has always been selfish, can't you see that?!"

The Duke also slapped Xiren on the right cheek.

Snapped.

This time the force is not as loud as before——

The Duke did not deny that Sheen did something to deliberately make people think that Xiren was bad, so he hit him less hard.

"But if Xien really does nothing and lets Xiren continue to act as he pleases...

When Xiren grows up, the Duke won't be able to control him anymore!"

Hoo ho ho...

"The truly selfish person is you."

The Duke gasped.

The Duke was kind to Xilun, but he saw that Xilun's healing power could confuse people.

Now his biological child is blond and orthodox, and has created so much value for him after returning.

Of course he would choose a better child to be his successor.

The Duke was resolute:

"It is necessary to drive Xiren away: for the family and for the empire!"

Xi Lun's face hurt again, and his face was full of disbelief:

Why, you still want to hit me...

"Sheen told me in person that he wanted to get along with you as soon as he came back. Otherwise, he would not have accepted your embarrassing invitation and did not expose your mistakes in front of everyone."

The Duke's hand hung in the air, not trembling this time,

"I can tell every lie you tell. It's a pity that you think you're so smart. You even use every concession made by Sheen as capital for your arrogance."

"What qualifies you to be on equal footing with Sheen?"

The Duke took a deep breath:

"You are not qualified at all!"

"I--"

When Xi Lun wanted to say something else, the Duke's condemnation was still not over:

(Time to settle old scores)

"Xi Lun, since you were a child, no matter where you are, there will always be trouble.

"When I took you to see the emperor, the first thing you said was 'Why should I bow to him?'...

"Don't you think that's very inappropriate of you? Didn't you see how Alex looked at that time?"

The Duke thought about the time when he took Sheen and Xiren to see the emperor separately, and the emperor's expression was extremely polarized.

If Sheen hadn't come, he wouldn't have known that the emperor could laugh!

"I really don't know. Why should I do this if you didn't tell me?"

Xi Lun was still arguing.

The Duke's eyes widened: This little bastard is still quibbling when he is about to die?

How ridiculous.

But the Duke clearly remembered that he had said the same thing to Sheen and Siren:

"Smile when you meet the Emperor."

As a result, Sheen did a good job and won the emperor's favor.

But Xi Lun made a complete mess of it all!

Now he has a guilty conscience and thinks Xilun is the one holding him back.

"The sooner this bad relationship ends, the better!"

"My son is the heir here."

The Duke uttered these words slowly:

"As the head of the Haines family, I saw you causing chaos in the mansion and outside, and I had to clean up the mess for you in the end..."

"I'm very unhappy!"

The Duke glanced at the servants who were busy packing up things around him. They were working with great enthusiasm and their faces were smiling as brightly as they could.

“It seems that you are not very nice to the people in the Duke’s Mansion.

"That's right, since you came here, many things that shouldn't have happened have happened.

"Can I say you are a disaster?"
