The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!
Chapter 84 The man behind the scenes
Hearing a crisp sound, Master Jiang finally let out the anger in his heart.
He looked at the Duke of England with a sour face and said, "I won't bother with you anymore."
After saying this, he straightened his clothes and prepared to leave.
The Duke of England snorted at him, "I didn't hold it against you for beating up my brother and breaking my antique vase, but you still have the nerve to say that?"
"I beat you up for Achan." Master Jiang looked at Duke Yingguo with a fake smile, "Otherwise, let's change Ti Yu. If he can beat you up, he might beat you more harshly than me."
The Duke of England glared at him angrily: "He dares."
"Yes, he doesn't dare, but I do." Master Jiang said confidently, crossing his arms and looking at Duke Yingguo: "This is not how you should be a father."
"I know you are busy in the camp, so it's okay to leave the affairs of the mansion to me."
"But I'm just Achan's second uncle, not her biological father."
Master Jiang stared at Duke Yingguo steadily, unable to describe his emotion. His tone was calm yet sharp: "I don't believe that Big Brother can't see that Ah Chan is afraid of you."
The Duke of England froze, closed his eyes, and did not respond to Mr. Jiang's words.
"Raising a child is not like raising a kitten or a puppy. You just feed it some food. When our parents raised us brothers, they did a much better job than you did, big brother."
Master Jiang brushed off the wrinkles on his clothes, walked to the door, and said calmly: "It's not too late. Ah Chan is still young. It's just right for you to coax her well in the next few years. She may catch up with me as your second uncle."
The Duke of England looked up, "What do you mean?"
Master Jiang pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Actually, I forgot to say that although Ah Chan didn't ask for a peace charm for me, I have a peace sachet that Ah Chan made herself."
The Duke of England suddenly stood up and ran straight towards Master Jiang!
Mr. Jiang dodged, opened the study door and fled out.
Du Feng picked up his jaw in shock, "Second Master, your Qinggong is so amazing..."
The Duke of England was furious. He turned to look at Du Feng and said in a sinister tone, "You want to learn?"
Du Feng immediately clasped his fists and said, "I don't want to."
The Duke of England turned around and went back to the study to get something, then turned around and went into the inner room.
Du Feng followed behind Duke Ying silently.
After walking a few steps, the Duke of England stopped and turned back: "Don't follow me."
Du Feng stopped and watched the Duke of England slowly walk into the inner room.
The Duke of England returned to the inner room, took the amulet out of the brocade bag, held it in the palm of his hand, and went to the other side.
There was a small niche with an incense burner and a tablet.
The tablet clearly stated his deceased wife, Ms. Yu.
Duke Yingguo touched the amulet reluctantly and placed it in front of the tablet.
His cautious look made him seem a little sad.
"Madam, I don't think I have done what you asked." Duke Ying smiled and said, "Yun'er and Ayu are fine, but little Achan has suffered a lot of grievances in places I haven't seen."
"She still gives me amulets, and the second brother takes good care of her."
"It was the second brother who accused me of being dishonest... We had originally agreed that I would earn a decent living outside, and you would take care of the family and the children inside."
The Duke of England suddenly choked up, covered his face with his hands, and water could be seen dripping from between his fingers.
The Duke of England did not say anything more.
The father-daughter relationship between him and Achan is just as Lao Er said. He still has a chance to save it before Achan gets married.
After all, he is his biological brother. He wouldn’t just watch his elder brother die without helping him, right?

Prince Wei's Mansion.
It is noon and the weather is sunny, which is the best time to take a nap and relax.
After the King of Wei came out of the palace, he rested at the concubine's place. While he was being affectionate with her, someone came to report that Prime Minister Xie had arrived.
The concubine understood and helped the King of Wei change his clothes, then sent him out respectfully.
Prime Minister Xie was waiting for King Wei in the study, and King Wei came very quickly.
"Your Majesty."
"Uncle, there's no need to be so polite when we meet in private." King Wei smiled and helped Prime Minister Xie up, asking him to sit on his left.
Prime Minister Xie observed the King of Wei's expression and saw that he looked very good. He thought that he came to the palace to get the job of inspecting the salt.
"Is it settled?" asked Xie Xiang.
The King of Wei nodded with a smile: "Thanks to my uncle's mediation, my father chose me without a second thought."
"When it comes to salt inspection, Your Majesty should bring more people with you. After all, we are not in the capital, and your own safety is more important."
In fact, Prime Minister Xie did not agree with the King of Wei's personal inspection of the salt industry.
This is a thankless task and is likely to affect the interests of multiple parties.
If King Xuan intended to cause trouble, it would be difficult to accomplish things well.
But the King of Wei now has no real achievements, so he has to strive for the salt inspection.
At least he had to show his abilities in front of Emperor Rong'an, otherwise, Emperor Rong'an would only be able to see King Xuan, which would be bad.
King Wei smiled and nodded, "Father gave me a team of imperial guards, all of whom are capable of fighting ten enemies at once."
Xie Xiang frowned, "Your Majesty, the master of the Imperial Guard is His Majesty after all, so you still have to have some of your own confidants."
Xie Xiang's reminder was well-intentioned. A hint of displeasure flashed across the King of Wei's brows, but it soon disappeared: "Don't worry, uncle. I'm with my confidant."
Perhaps it was because the King of Wei was young, and he always took the King Xuan, who was not particularly outstanding, lightly.
Prime Minister Xie did not like the King of Wei's attitude of underestimating the enemy: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate the enemy. This year, the brother-in-law of King Xuan will take the imperial examination. With his talent, it will be easy for him to pass the examination."
"If someone from the lineage of King Xuan is favored by His Majesty again, it is inevitable that..."
The unfinished meaning is what Xie Xiang wanted to express.
The King of Wei understood and his expression darkened: "My uncle's good idea seems to be useless. The spy from the Duke of Ying's Mansion has come to pass on the message that Lin is useless."
Prime Minister Xie nodded, "I already know about this. Lin is still useful. Her daughter is still in the Lin family. She will not remain silent."
"Uncle, do you mean to help Lin one more time?" King Wei admired Prime Minister Xie's intelligence.
He knew several years ago that he could not use the Duke of England for his own purposes, so he set up a plan to destroy the Duke of England's mansion.
Who could have imagined this when Lin planted this chess piece?
Everything was fine originally, but the relationship between the Duke of England and his legitimate son and daughter was indeed becoming increasingly distant.
But unexpectedly, things suddenly changed. Lin was defeated and even imprisoned in the Duke of England's mansion.
As for the Duke of England, apart from the ruin of a marriage that should have been ruined, it seems that it was not affected at all.
This made the King of Wei feel particularly regretful.
Seeing the change in King Wei's expression, Prime Minister Xie smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. If Lin is not useful, there will be other good chess pieces."
After hearing what Prime Minister Xie said, King Wei felt relieved.
Although he sometimes doesn't like what his uncle does, he will continue to use him as long as it is useful.
"I heard that my little cousin seems to be attracted to the youngest daughter of the Duke of England. If this can be accomplished, it would be a good thing."
The King of Wei picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile, "This is the new tribute tea this year. Father also thinks it is very good."
Prime Minister Xie looked at the King of Wei with his old eyes, "Your Highness is very well-informed."
He also knew what Yier had only said to his wife.
The King of Wei also placed spies around him.
