Of course, Sheen also showed positive progress.

The people in the Duke's Mansion turned a blind eye to this unusual situation, saying that "this is a manifestation of the true orthodox bloodline's positive progress."

"Master is so sensible."

"That's right. After all, Master Sheen is the Duke's biological son..."

Butler Ted once talked to the eldest lady about the differences between Sheen and Xiren.

After receiving the chat request from the young lady, he described it like this:

"Although Xien's recent trouble was excessive (referring to the fact that he attacked Xilun as soon as he arrived), this allowed us to see Xilun's true face, which seems to be a good thing..."

Although Bonnie wanted to save face, she admitted that she had been hurt by Xi Lun before.

Especially since Xi Lun didn't care about her life or death and sent people to damage the carriage, she was really disappointed with Xi Lun:

"Alas, I actually had the thought that 'my brother can only be Xi Lun' at that time. Thinking about it now, it's so terrible."

Bonnie listened to Ted's nagging and sighed with her hands covering her face.

"Haha. Miss, now we have discovered who the real heir is, right?"

Ted leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and muttered,

"If Xien is left between the two of them, the entire Duke's Mansion will be much more peaceful, right?"

...

All signs indicate that Sheen is the real young master.

Especially when he is dealing with things, he can put forward his own ideas, and the consequences of a decision, whether it will bring benefits or disadvantages...

The Duke was amazed at Sheen's idea.

Bonnie watched as Sheen studied hard to handle his duties:

(Bonnie is a person who knows Sheen’s specific itinerary)

"It's less than two weeks before Sean leaves, and his father has to teach Sean how to handle official business in front of everyone...

Isn't this telling outsiders that Xien is his trusted successor?"

She also thought of the first day Sheen lived in the Duke's Mansion and went to see the Duke and said, "Please don't let the Lord and his family know the real time I went to the Magic Tower."

The strange thing is that the Duke agreed very readily.

The eldest daughter always felt that the father and son were hiding something from her.

Office.

pat.

The Duke stacked the last official book on top of his official documents and stretched lazily:

"With Sheen's help, my work efficiency has increased a lot. That's great~"

Sheen held the pen in his hand and gave the Duke a wry smile.

"If I hadn't successfully made friends with Everett a while ago, and the system had given me an extra reward, I would have felt that I didn't have enough brains."

The reward issued by the system is: Strategy +20.

When the system gave the reward, it smiled more cunningly than anyone else, as if it had guessed that the Duke would reuse Sheen in the future...

wrong,

The system is originally the original Xien!

Damn it, he fooled me!

Sheen swung his arms aside, yawned, and smacked his lips a few times:

"My brain is so tired, how did Xilun survive..."

"I didn't let him do it."

"what?"

Sheen straightened up dully (coming to his senses in a second).

Neither the system nor the novel mentions this.

"He sits here, and soon I can hear him snoring."

The Duke took the pen out of the ink, wiped it clean and put it away, while he couldn't help complaining,

"I guess I've spoiled him. If I had let him experience the hardships of work earlier, maybe he wouldn't be so arrogant."

Xien had an awkward smile on his face, muttering in his heart:

"If you don't spoil him, there's no need for me to come..."

"Sheen,"

"Ok?"

The Duke smacked his lips in satisfaction:

"Have you noticed that the atmosphere in the Duke's Mansion has become much warmer since you moved in? Everyone says that you are the lucky star of the Duke's Mansion."

Sheen said this was the normal plot development of the original work and had nothing to do with him.

The Duke didn't seem to care about Sheen's expression, and just muttered to himself:

"During your stay here, you have made many decisions that are beneficial to the development of the Duke's Mansion. In addition to this small piece of land...

"Do you think there is any other way I can govern the dukedom?"

Oh, Sheen had guessed that the Duke would ask this question -

Because for some reason, the happiness index of the people in the territory has declined significantly in the past few years.

The Duke has been busy for so many years trying to stabilize the people's hearts, but it's all in vain.

And these few years are the years for snowmaking.

He had long wanted to point out the drawbacks of snowmaking.

Xien took a sip of the tea he had prepared and answered calmly:

“Maybe the Duke thinks that I was once a commoner, so he wants to ask about the quality of life of his subjects?

"But does the Duke understand that if the common people are not well fed and clothed, how can we raise their happiness index?"

The Duke was surprised by Sheen's answer:

"Then why have I received dissatisfaction from civilians in recent years?"

Xien held his right hand in the air and smiled slightly:

"What I just said was a potential threat to the well-being of civilians, not a trigger,"

He made a very clear analysis:

"The climate affects the harvests of the common people. The strange snowfalls in recent years have caused many poor people to freeze to death or die of disease. And those who died were the breadwinners of their families."

Sheen pretended to be unaware of the reasons for the weather changes in recent years and gave the Duke some advice:

"It would be great if there was magic that could improve the extreme weather in the territory."

The Duke nodded slightly after listening to Sheen's analysis:

"I certainly didn't expect the weather to affect civilian life."

He thought that Xilun had already terminated the adoption relationship with him anyway.

So it's time to stop all the trouble of making snow.

This can save some expenses.

Xien's heart was not disturbed at all:

"The main reason is that it affects the Duke's interests."

At night,

The Duke and his children were sitting in the dining room having dinner.

Today's dishes look good:

The appetizer is a vegetable salad mainly made of cabbage. When serving, all you need to do is pour the sour sauce brought by the maid on it, stir it carefully, and then you can eat it.

The main course included fine bread, curry broth, sliced ​​​​honey chicken, steak with black pepper sauce, roast bone marrow potatoes, spaghetti with meat sauce and plum pudding.

(Sheen doesn't like plum pudding, but the Duke wants someone to put one on his plate...)

There was even a butler serving wine next to the Duke's seat: although the Duke was not a heavy drinker, he still drank a little.

Eating...

Click, click...

The three of them were still sitting and eating, but Bonnie felt that the atmosphere had changed:

Although she was cutting steak, she thought of Xilun sitting opposite her and eating.

Now it's Sheen who's in that position.

"Could it be that Xiren, who always talked loudly about how he hated Sheen at the dinner table, was kicked out by his father?" Bonnie pondered.

Moreover, compared to that time...

Sheen and his father were actually chatting while eating!

(Although it’s still about work, it’s better than keeping silent)

You know, when Xilun sat here before, it was usually Xilun who made unilateral comments, and the Duke would not make any comments.

But now the Duke is paying close attention to every word Sheen says...

That’s off the mark!
