Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful!

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.
