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

"So that's what the carriage manager said. I should be more careful when I go out next time."

Sheen pulled a large bag of money out of his pocket and handed it to the investigator.

"You are amazing, sir. Your investigation is quick and clean. You are a model of investigators I have ever seen."

Sheen's flattery made the investigator blush and his heart beat fast.

"Oh, I'm so scared. It's my honor to help you, young master. Hahaha..."

The investigator took the money and thanked happily.

"Tell His Majesty the Duke about your findings, but don't lie." Sheen stood up and said goodbye to the investigator with a smile.

"Sure, sure." The investigator left happily.

......

"Your Excellency the Duke, I think you may have to put aside your official duties for a while. Because something very bad has happened now."

The investigator was led by the maid to the Duke's office, opened the door and made a straightforward statement.

The Duke was still reading the documents (his head was spinning), and he didn't even put down his pen:

"What is worthy of my personal attention?"

"Didn't the carriage that the young master and young lady were riding in overturn?"

"And then? They will take care of these things..."

“It’s man-made.”

The Duke dropped his pen.

Click...

"What? Someone actually harmed Haines' bloodline!"

After hearing the investigator's statement, the Duke flew into a rage, slammed the table, and immediately called everyone to the hall:

"Too bad this happened while I was busy with government affairs!"

Everyone was flustered by the Duke's sudden outburst and gathered in a circle.

After hearing the commotion downstairs, Bonnie went downstairs with the help of her maid, and Sheen followed Bonnie to watch the show.

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

Sheen stretched out his hands slightly, signaling people to make way so that he could get to the Duke.

The Duke was still conducting his trial, and he pointed in a certain direction:

"Coachman John, you left your post without your master's permission. Not only did you fail to report, you also drove a broken-down carriage, which caused a disaster!"

John stood in the middle of the crowd, still looking panicked:

"It happened suddenly, and I was in a hurry and chose the wrong carriage..."

"Did it happen suddenly?"

Bonnie leaned against the maid,

"I told the coachman a long time ago that I was going out for a trip. Do you mean that this is the coachman's responsibility?"

The Duke's face turned even worse.

After hearing what Bonnie said, the scene seemed to get a little noisy.

To Sheen, this was the scene of the fish in the river swimming towards the bait he had placed.

But the fish he most wanted to catch had not yet appeared.

Someone in the crowd suggested to the Duke:

"My Lord Duke, if I remember correctly, the servants all obey the orders of the butler. There must be a problem with the management of one of the butlers, Ted or Barry."

Today the Duke's confidant Ted is ill, and Barry is in charge of everything.

Everyone looked at Barry, who was trembling with fear:

"I have devoted myself to the Duke's Mansion for more than ten years. As the second steward in charge of affairs, I am ashamed. I just learned about this matter and I am really sorry."

Barry knelt down before the Duke.

Everyone was surprised.

"I thought these matters had been reported and approved, and it was my fault for not asking more questions. I am really sorry."

Although Barry is young, he is easily tempted to turn against his own side.

Sheen actually seriously suspected that Barry was turning a blind eye.

Unfortunately, he was not the one who took direct action, and he would not harm Sheen and Bonnie for direct benefits.

It seems that questioning Barry is a dead end.

"Maybe we need to find another way to lure out the mastermind."

Seeing Barry's sincere attitude in admitting his mistake, the Duke could only wave his hands, close his eyes and sigh:

"As a manager, you have joint responsibility. I hope you will be more serious in your work in the future."

"Yes, yes." Barry stood up and patted his chest to breathe a sigh of relief.

The Duke was about to speak, but Sheen's voice stopped him:

"Your Excellency the Duke,"

"Whether it's Ted or Barry, anyone who can become a butler basically risks their life for the job (it's a high-risk job). Barry may not know this."

Barry stood aside, nodding repeatedly as if he had grasped a life-saving straw:

"Hmm."

The Duke looked at his two children. One was fine (the benefit of having legitimate blood), and the other had caught a cold and had a low fever.

He felt that the two children must have been terribly frightened, and he was determined to seek justice for them:

"Bonnie, Sheen. No parent wants to protect their children. I will take the time to find out the truth about this for you."

"Father..." Bonnie was inexplicably moved.

Sheen couldn't help rolling his eyes inwardly, and he tried his best to control his body from getting goose bumps.

But it doesn't feel bad to be protected by the Duke himself.

The crowd gradually quieted down, probably admiring the Duke's sense of responsibility.

"It's time to throw out the biggest bait,"

Sheen had a new plan in his mind - it seemed that if he just used Bonnie as bait, the matter would definitely end in nothing.

Although Xi Lun arranged these things to let Bonnie experience the story of "hero saving beauty", if it is used reasonably,

What about the dispute between Sheen and Siren over "true orthodoxy"?

Xien coughed slightly to clear his throat, lowered his head and whispered:

"Perhaps, someone dislikes me and deliberately avoids the housekeeper to frame me, but accidentally hurts the lady..."

People were obviously attracted by these words——

Injuring a princess may not have much impact, but if the one who is hurt is a prince who has the right to inherit the family...

That is a heinous crime!

Sheen stood in the middle of the crowd, cowering in front of the Duke and Bonnie:

"My Lord Duke, it seems that I can no longer go out easily with My Lord Duke, or rather, I can no longer go out easily."

The Duke and Bonnie were both confused:

ha?

How does this work? ?

"Frame Master Xien? How could it be possible?" Everyone widened their eyes.

Sheen absolutely cannot stay at home: he is the second son of the Haines family.

Unless you are sick and don't need to go out, you must perform official duties when you make your social debut as an adult.

A consensus emerged in everyone's mind:

"We must not let this incident cast a shadow on Sheen. Everything is for the good of the family!"

The Duke was completely panicked. He looked at Sheen in shock:

"I have already acknowledged you as my child, my heir. How dare someone still want to frame you?!"

It was obvious that the people present believed Sheen's words without a doubt.

"The mastermind behind this will not change his discrimination against Xien just because of what my father said. Such a person..."

Bonnie muttered, resting her chin on her left hand, which was folded across her chest, and thinking.

Her mind quickly thought of Xi Lun.

Then she recalled how Siren had cursed the Duke in front of everyone after Sheen was poisoned.

She understood——

Her beloved brother actually used such despicable means behind her back because Sheen "took away her love for his brother."

"I really fed the wolf with my kindness!"

Bonnie's hands were shaking.
