Chapter 114: The Difference between the First-Legal and the First-Legal
But the atmosphere in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion was not very good. First, the Liangyi Sect caused trouble in the Nine-story Building, and the Duke of Protectorate was present at the time. If it weren't for Gu Changting and Li Xuan's superb martial arts and quick reactions, the Nine-story Building would have been burned to ashes today, and ninety percent of the people in the Nine-story Building would have died on the spot, including the Duke of Protectorate of course.

Having escaped death, the Duke of Protectorate was naturally angry. He was angry at the madness of the Yin-Yang Sect and that the Yin-Yang Sect knew he was in the Nine-Story Tower but did not warn him in advance.

But not long after, news came from people below that the farm where the youngest son lived outside the city had caught fire, and it was a big fire.

This was a serious matter. Meng Xichen had broken his leg and became a disabled person, and he was unable to take revenge for his family. The Duke of Protectorate felt guilty towards his son.

Later, he had to send his youngest son to a farm outside the city to recuperate and avoid the limelight, and he felt even more sorry for his youngest son.

Who would have thought that just a few days later, an accident and fire occurred on the farm. If his mother and wife had not heard the news and were so anxious that they had no idea what to do, he would have gone to the farm in person.

But even so, the Duke of Protectorate still sent both of his sons out, fearing that something might happen to his youngest son.

Until this time, the Duke of Protectorate did not think that anything serious would happen. After all, to reach his current high and powerful position, he had experienced all kinds of ups and downs, and all of them had gone smoothly.

It was just a small fire. If the manor burned down, it burned down. As for the Duke of Huguo's family, which was rich and powerful, the loss was just a drop in the bucket. As long as no one was hurt, it would be fine.

Who would have thought that within the time it took to finish a meal, the two sons would come back, evasive and dodgy. When asked about their brother's situation, they stammered and looked so unhappy that they couldn't speak.

Just by looking at his two sons, the Duke of Protectorate realized that the situation was not good, but he did not expect to receive such bad news!
Yes, it is bad news!
It is so heartbreaking to see an old man die before his young. Even an old fox as strong as the Duke of Protectorate felt dizzy when he heard the news. His body swayed and he almost fell down.

As for the old lady and the wife of the Duke of Protectorate, they collapsed upon hearing the news. The Duke of Protectorate was so frightened that he didn't even dare to faint and anxiously shouted for a doctor.

The old mother suffered a mild stroke, and his wife lay in bed crying, unable to get out of bed due to grief. The Duke of Protectorate forced himself to arrange everything, and only then did he have time to ask his two sons about the death of their youngest son.

In the study, after listening to the stories of his two sons, he learned that his youngest son was burned to death in the house, and even burned by a huge fire, so that not even his entire body was left. The Duke of Protectorate endured it again and again, but in the end he couldn't help it and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"father!"

"father!"

The brothers Meng Dongchen and Meng Nanchen were so frightened by this sudden scene that they almost lost their souls and were so panicked that they couldn't control the expressions on their faces.

"Dad, are you okay?"

"I'll go get the doctor!"

Outside, Meng Dongchen and Meng Xichen are both capable sons of the Duke of Protectorate Mansion. Their abilities and family backgrounds should not be underestimated. Wherever they go, they are always leaders and shining figures. Although they have their own reasons for all this, it is more because their father is the Duke of Protectorate and they have a Duke of Protectorate Mansion behind them!
Their father, the Duke of Protector of the Country, is the source of their confidence. They feel at ease with their father around them.

But now, the father who was like a mountain and a giant in their eyes and could not be knocked down was vomiting blood. How could the two not panic? Although they were angry about the loss of their brother, their father was the towering tree in their hearts, their backbone, and the helmsman of the entire Protectorate Mansion. They could let their brother die, but not their father. At least when they were not strong enough to control the big ship of the Protectorate Mansion, they could not!

"fine!"

Holding his son who was about to go find the doctor, the Duke of the Protectorate looked at them, his eyes full of bloodshot, gnashing his teeth viciously, "Liang Yi Sect! You dare to kill my son! I will never let you go!"

How could the Duke of Protectorate, who had always been arrogant and successful, not hate his son's death so tragically? How could he bear this hatred? But his current plan was not to let outsiders know that he was unwell and vomiting blood.

Although the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion is at its peak and has great power, it is all because of the Queen Mother. With his support, he has maintained such authority for so many years.

But his son was killed so easily, and the authority of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion was challenged. If news of his health condition spread at this time, and the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion showed signs of weakness, those enemies hiding in the dark who wanted to deal with the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion would transform into the most crazy evil spirits, pounce on him and divide the entire Duke of Protectorate's Mansion into pieces.

The more times like this happen, the more they must not let anger cloud their heads. They are not only responsible for themselves, but also for so many people in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. They cannot show weakness to the enemy.

"Dad, please calm down and take care of yourself. Only if you are well can you avenge my third brother."

Seeing his father so angry at Liang Yi Cult, Meng Dongchen was very worried. "However, the death of my third brother is only one-sided according to Gu Changting. Whether it was Liang Yi Cult that caused it remains to be verified. We can't let the person who harmed my third brother go, but we can't let others use it and let the real murderer go."

Meng Dongchen was indeed sad and angry about his brother's death, but he did not lose his mind. At first, he was indeed thrown off balance by Gu Changting's sudden suspicion, but he was not someone who would be led by the nose, and he reacted later.

However, Gu Changting's words were not useless after all. He believed Gu Changting's words 70%. After all, everything he reasoned sounded reasonable.

But until there was evidence, he remained a little skeptical.

"Do you suspect that it wasn't done by the Liang Yi Cult?"

A mouthful of blood almost exhausted most of the Duke of Protectorate's energy, and he became listless. But after hearing what his eldest son said, he was stunned for a moment, slowly frowned, and began to wonder if there was any loophole in it.

Seeing this, Meng Nanchen curled his lips slightly and interrupted unwillingly: "Brother, I know you have never liked Gu Changting, but to be honest, Gu Changting has always been upright in his official duties, and his ability is obvious to all. I don't doubt it."

After taking a look at this half-brother, Meng Dongchen naturally knew what he was thinking. After all, there couldn't be no friction between the legitimate son and the illegitimate son. However, over the years, this half-brother had never been a threat to him. He had absolute confidence in himself and didn't take it seriously. "I only believe in evidence."

"Dongchen is right. We want to avenge your brother, but we can't avenge the wrong person."

There is no need to think about the difference between the legitimate son and the illegitimate son. Due to years of habit, the Duke of Protectorate subconsciously attaches more importance to the ideas of the legitimate son. And if you think about it carefully, the legitimate son's views are indeed more cautious and calm. When you are in a high position, the worst thing is to lose calm. It is good for the boss to be like this.
