Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful! Chapter 391 – Does the Count Intend to Protect His Eldest Son?

Chapter 391: Does the Count Intend to Protect His Eldest Son?

“Ha!” Zi Yi sneered. “Does the Count intend to protect his eldest son?”

“He’s unable to.” Lu Jingye’s expression suddenly turned harsh. “Since he dared to plot against you, he has to be prepared to suffer the consequences.”

Ian walked over just then and looked at Zi Yi. “Don’t worry. Since my elder brother is sent to the countryside, he won’t have any power in his hands.”

Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling looked at him at the same time.

Ian made a gentlemanly gesture towards them and said, “Dear beautiful ladies, we can chat over breakfast.”

Speaking of this, he turned to Zi Yi and said, “Lu personally prepared breakfast for you. Aren’t you looking forward to it?”

Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling met gazes and smiled before the four of them headed towards the table.

After they took a seat, Ian used a calm tone as he continued to speak, “According to the laws of Country X, the status as a Count is hereditary and must be passed down to the eldest son. Not only is my elder brother the eldest son, he was also born by my father with his first wife. We have never been on good terms and I am pretty happy to see him in such a situation.”

The corner of his lips curled up and he used his fork to grab a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth as he ate elegantly.

Zi Yi did not have much feelings even after hearing what he said.

After she took a sip of the porridge, she asked, “Is there any law in your country that stipulates that if the eldest son commits a mistake, the position of the Count can be inherited by the second child?”

Her words caused Ian to stiffen. He then put down his fork and grabbed a napkin as he gracefully wiped his mouth and started to ponder Zi Yi’s words.

Zi Yi and the rest continued to eat.

Sometime later, Ian suddenly looked at Lu Jingye and said with slight excitement, “Lu, let’s cooperate.”

Lu Jingye grabbed a dumpling for Zi Yi before he looked up at him. However, he did not answer him immediately.

Ian continued to speak. “Get my elder brother to commit a grave mistake and it’ll be best if he can stay locked up for a period of time. In that case, I’ll be able to inherit the Count position. At that time, I’ll provide your company convenience in Country X. Also… I’ll gift this winery to Miss Zi. How about it?”

If Ian said to gift the winery to Lu Jingye, he would reject his offer without even the slightest hesitation.

However, since he said he would gift it to Yiyi, he now asked her for her opinion, “Yiyi, do you like this winery?”

Zi Yi thought about it for a moment. The area Ian’s winery occupied was very wide and it was not a bad idea to use half of which to grow grapes for making wine and the other half to build a research base. Moreover, Ian was here to help her look after the place and she would not have to worry about random brainless people coming over to scheme against her belongings.

Thinking of this, Zi Yi smiled, her eyes turning into crescent moons and nodded at him. “I like it.”

Lu Jingye looked towards Ian and nodded. “Okay.”

Ian smiled in response.

After they finished breakfast, Ian and Lu Jingye headed to the study room to discuss the specifics.

Before he left, he even enthusiastically said to Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling, “Dear beautiful ladies, you can hang around wherever you like.”

Not long after they took their leave, the winery manager led someone inside, and unexpectedly, it was Housekeeper Ye.

Housekeeper Ye carried two bags in his hands and greeted them the first thing when he came in. He then passed them the bags and said, “Miss Zi, Miss Dou, these are clothes the Second Young Master ordered me to prepare for you.”

Dou Xiangling’s clothes were stained with mud and she had changed back into the pajamas she wore last night when she returned to the villa. The moment she saw Housekeeper Ye handing over the bag, she said gratefully, “Thank you, Housekeeper Ye.”

Zi Yi also took over the bag and asked, “Housekeeper Ye, did anything happen at the villa last night?”

Since killers were involved in this incident, they must have either come here for her or Ah Jing.

Housekeeper Ye was not surprised by Zi Yi’s question. He said to her, “A small situation did indeed happen within the villa. However, it was soon resolved by the bodyguards.”

Zi Yi nodded and carried the bag as she headed towards the guest room.

Housekeeper Ye said, “Miss Zi, I will be remaining here today. You can tell me whatever you need.”

“Alright.”

Zi Yi saw Dou Xiangling standing by the gates and looking into the distance after she changed her clothes. She then walked over and asked, “Cousin, what are you looking at?”

Dou Xiangling pointed at the grape field. “If only there were painting tools here. We could paint here.”

Zi Yi smiled and said, “If you want painting tools, you can just tell Housekeeper Ye.”

Zi Yi looked around and heard faint voices near them and walked out.

Housekeeper Ye was currently conversing with the manager of the winery.

When they saw Zi Yi making her way over, they stopped talking and looked at her.

“Miss Zi, is there anything I can help you with?”

“Housekeeper Ye, help me to get someone to deliver my cousin’s painting tools over.”

“I understand.”

When Housekeeper Ye took out his phone to give a call to other helpers in Lu Jingye’s villa, Zi Yi turned around.

Dou Xiangling smiled and said, “Thanks, Yiyi.”

However, she still asked, “Why didn’t you get the housekeeper to bring your painting tools too?”

Zi Yi shook her head. “We aren’t in the competition right now, I don’t feel like painting.”

Dou Xiangling did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Not long later, someone had delivered Dou Xiangling’s painting tools here.

Dou Xiangling started to paint, while Zi Yi grabbed her phone and sat there as she scrolled through her phone.

It was only 9 a.m in the morning and it was still considered pretty early. The Count had yet to release Meng He and Allen’s negative news and she felt pretty bored. Therefore, she went to check up on what type of negative news they had.

Only then did she discover that Meng He was a pretty clever guy. Feiya had done everything on his behalf and even though he was slightly cold in front of other people, he had good relations with people.

As for that Allen in question, there was no lack of his negative news.

Zi Yi found it uninteresting after scrolling for some time and decided to stop looking at it.

She then started to plan for Lu Yunxiao’s treatment.

Lu Jingye had gathered plenty of good medicinal ingredients and they only had to extract the essence from those ingredients using special medical equipment.

There was also treatment equipment that she had gotten Lu Jingye to custom make. She would operate the equipment when the time comes and then get someone with good medical skills to cooperate with her.

As she thought of this, she suddenly thought of Elder Tang who said that he would accept her as his disciple when she came back from military training. She softly chuckled and said, “I wonder if he would flare up and get angry at me for not contacting him all this time?”

Just then, there was an incoming video call from her phone and it was unexpectedly from Mrs. Lu.

Zi Yi answered the call and sweetly called out. “Auntie Lu.”

Mrs. Lu was glad to see Zi Yi. She first asked her if she was used to staying there and some other questions to check on her wellbeing.

After Zi Yi answered all her questions, Mrs. Lu began to speak but hesitated.

Zi Yi found her behavior weird and asked, “Auntie Lu, do you have anything to say to me?”

Mrs. Lu thought about it for a moment before she said, “Little Zi, when you come back and hear someone saying something ridiculous, don’t take it seriously. Jingye, that child, has never liked any other girls in the past. You are the first and the last.”

Zi Yi knew something must have happened or perhaps someone was here to snatch Ah Jing from her.

She nodded and said, “Auntie, don’t you worry. No one can snatch away my Ah Jing.”
