"Do you really have a way?"
Stephen couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I have a way!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
This matter was not difficult for Jiang Yi at all. Jiang Yi only needed someone to help Prince Matthew.
"Alright, since that's the case, then I'll be the great lord of Dongmeng Prefecture!"
"To be honest, I've always dreamed of being a great lord, but because I don't have a noble title, and my social status is not as high as those nobles, I'm just a businessman, so I've never had the chance!"
"I spent a lot of money trying to grease the wheels before, but it was useless! If you help me become a great lord, I'll be so happy I'll wake up laughing."
Stephen grinned.
"I'll take care of this for you. Within a week at most, I can make you a great lord!"
Jiang Yi promised.
"Alright, then I'll await your good news!"
Stephen said, "I'll raise some money during this time to do public welfare, get more exposure in the media, and prepare to become a great lord!"
Stephen was very excited at this moment.
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow. Once Stephen became the great lord of Ximeng Prefecture.
Then two of the four prefectural great lords would be his allies, and the four prefectures would be firmly under his control.
The four prefectures would become Jiang Yi's base in Eagle Country. With this base, he would have no worries in the future.
Jiang Yi bid farewell to Stephen and left Stephen's castle.
As Jiang Yi was about to get into his car to leave, Alice chased after him.
This made Jiang Yi feel a little helpless, regretting not getting into the car earlier.
"Is there anything else?"
Jiang Yi asked.
"Tomorrow is my birthday, and I want to invite you to my birthday party. You must come then. My birthday cannot be without you!"
Alice said.
"Alright, no problem!"
Jiang Yi agreed!
If he didn't agree to Alice, she would definitely pester him.
Seeing Jiang Yi agree, Alice was very happy.
"Don't forget my birthday gift then. It doesn't matter if I don't receive gifts from others, but if I don't receive your birthday gift, I'll be unhappy!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely prepare a birthday gift for you!"
"I have very important things to do. I'll be leaving now!"
After saying that to Alice, Jiang Yi got into his car.
Jiang Yi drove back to his castle, then took out the new medicine he had just developed and sent it to the Great Lord's Mansion.
An hour later, the car arrived at the Great Lord's Mansion.
Jiang Yi had been here many times, so the armored soldiers at the entrance did not stop him. They smiled and greeted him.
When he reached the courtyard, just as Jiang Yi was about to enter the main hall, Charles walked out of the main hall and blocked his path directly.
Charles was covered in injuries, which Jiang Yi had inflicted previously.
Seeing Charles limping, Jiang Yi couldn't help but chuckle. Charles probably never imagined that he would be beaten up and couldn't seek revenge, having to swallow his pride.
"Jiang Yi, how dare you! You've actually sided with the Eagle Country Royal Family!"
Charles said fiercely to Jiang Yi.
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
Jiang Yi shrugged.
"Don't play dumb. The people I sent to investigate you reported back that you had contact with the Royal Family before, and they personally saw you with an envoy from the Eagle Country Royal Family!"
"My adoptive father doesn't know about this matter yet. If you honestly tell me about your dealings with the Eagle Country Royal Family, I can help you conceal it and not tell anyone!"
Charles stared at Jiang Yi and said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi's brows furrowed slightly.
Logically speaking, Charles should have reported this matter directly to Prince Matthew after he found out. However, he didn't do so and instead tried to negotiate with him.
There were only two explanations: First, Charles was deliberately testing him. Second, Charles was a member of the Eagle Country Royal Family.
Both of these possibilities were very high!
Charles knowing these things posed a considerable threat to Jiang Yi. He had to find a way to eliminate Charles.
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
"I have no connection with the Eagle Country Royal Family. I don't understand why you are framing me when we have no animosity. Is it because I've become Prince Matthew's favored person, and you're jealous, so you want to eliminate me this way!"
Jiang Yi deliberately feigned confusion.
"Hmph!"
Charles snorted coldly, then stared at Jiang Yi and said, "Jiang Yi, since you refuse a toast and insist on a drinking game, don't blame me! I will tell my adoptive father everything I've found out. You're dead!"
Tracy happened to walk over and heard Charles's words.
Charles didn't pay much attention and even said to Tracy, "Tracy, this kid is from the Eagle Country Royal Family. He must have been deliberately placed by the Royal Family by our adoptive father's side. My adoptive father might not believe me alone, so you and I will go tell our adoptive father together!"
Tracy stood still and ignored Charles.
"What? Don't you even believe what I say?"
Charles frowned and asked.
"What you say is not worth believing. Not only will I not believe it, but our adoptive father won't believe it either!"
Tracy said directly.
The reason Tracy didn't believe Charles was because Tracy already knew that the masked man in the forest that day was Charles.
Charles had been beaten badly by Jiang Yi, and Tracy felt that Charles was seeking personal revenge.
Moreover, even if he told Prince Matthew, it would be useless. Prince Matthew would not punish Jiang Yi.
This was because only Jiang Yi could cure Prince Matthew's illness. Prince Matthew currently needed Jiang Yi.
Charles was not stupid, he just hadn't recognized reality.
"Charles, I advise you not to cause trouble, otherwise, you'll only bring trouble upon yourself!"
Tracy warned Charles.
"You are helping Jiang Yi so much, perhaps you are also a member of the Eagle Country Royal Family. It's useless for anyone to stop me. I'm going to tell my adoptive father now that Jiang Yi is a member of the Eagle Country Royal Family!"
Charles glared fiercely at Jiang Yi, then walked directly into the main hall.
Jiang Yi watched Charles's retreating back and sneered inwardly.
"You don't have to worry. I believe you are not a member of the Eagle Country Royal Family. If he really dares to frame you, I will speak up for you! I won't stand by and watch Charles frame you!"
Tracy said.
"Thank you!"
Jiang Yi expressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome. I just don't want to see you wronged by Charles!"
Tracy had investigated Jiang Yi before and found nothing, so Tracy believed that Jiang Yi was not a member of the Eagle Country Royal Family.
Afterward, Jiang Yi and Tracy entered the main hall.
As soon as they reached the main hall, Prince Matthew's sharp gaze fell upon Jiang Yi, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.
"Jiang Yi, Charles says you are a member of the Eagle Country Royal Family. How do you explain this?"
Prince Matthew stared at Jiang Yi and asked.
"I was framed!"
Jiang Yi shrugged.
