I really became a king.

Chapter 379: Inheritance
Originally, Jiang Yi just wanted to have a simple home-cooked meal, get together with his family, and chat.

But he underestimated his own appeal. Starting with his eldest aunt Jiang Ning, all six Jiang brothers were present, including, of course, the former ninth lady of Heshuo City - Yun Jiu, the wife of the eldest brother Jiang Zhongshan.

There are also the couple's daughters, Xiaotong and Miaomiao. Two or three years have passed, and the elder sister Xiaotong has begun to grow up. Perhaps because she often reads with Jiang Yi, she seems very quiet.

As for my younger sister Miaomiao, she was seven or eight years old, which was the time for her to play freely, and she was noisy like a tomboy.

After two or three years of nourishing life, the two sisters are no longer dry and skinny as before, but have become as lively as dolls.

"This girl has never been that close to me."

Looking at Jiang Xiaotong who was standing quietly beside Jiang Yi, waiting there to serve tea and pour water at any time, Yun Jiu muttered in a low voice with some jealousy.

Jiang Zhongshan next to him smiled indifferently and said nothing. Indeed, his daughter Xiaotong has been closest to her sixth uncle in the past two years, and as a father, he feels a little jealous.

But when he thought about his estrangement from his two daughters in the early years, he felt filled with guilt.

Those years were so depressing that he even lived in fear of his future in No. 1 Middle School. In addition, his personality was rather rigid, so he seldom communicated with his eldest daughter.

As if sensing her husband's emotional fluctuations, Yun Jiu shook his hand under the table, leaned over and whispered, "Let's have another child later..."

Jiang Zhongshan was stunned for a moment and shook his head in silence. He knew that his wife had misunderstood him and it was inevitable that he felt a little jealous, but his daughter was still very close to him and his wife.

The reason why she stood quietly beside Jiang Yi at the party today was that she wanted to stay and listen to what their adults had to say. If she stayed with the couple, they would definitely not let her stay here, after all, it was somewhat against etiquette.

Children, especially girls, rarely have the opportunity to stay at the main table.

The only one who could make the decision to let her stay was her sixth uncle.

This is indeed the case. Throughout the entire family dinner, from the beginning to now, Jiang Xiaotong has been standing quietly beside Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi said nothing from beginning to end, and the other people present would say nothing even less.

"Xiaotong, look, your mother is jealous..." Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Zhongshan and his wife and laughed, and the others also laughed.

"It's not just my sister-in-law, we're all a little jealous." Jiang Zhongchi shouted.

Jiang Xiaotong lowered her head a little embarrassedly, walked around the table carrying the teapot, and finally came to Jiang Zhongshan and his wife, serving tea to her parents.

Her well-behaved look moved Yun Jiu so much that he reached out to smooth the hair beside her ear with pity, then patted her hand and motioned her to go back.

Although she was a little shy, she was still graceful and elegant overall, and there was a sense of intelligence in her quietness.

Jiang Yi nodded with satisfaction. She was beautiful and intelligent, and he liked this niece from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Jiang Xiaotong standing next to Jiang Yi again, everyone present consciously changed the topic, including the always noisy Jiang Zhongchi.

The Prince Yi's Mansion has been adding new babies in the past two years, especially the third and fifth sons, who are like animals and have given birth to several children. Adding up the entire palace, there are really quite a few sons and nephews.

But among the many descendants and nephews, the only one who caught the eye of his sixth brother was this eldest niece.

Now, all his knowledge was taught by his sixth brother himself.

Just like my sixth brother’s study, no one dares to approach it without permission, except this niece, who can come and go freely.

In addition, Jiang Xiaotong's cultivation is also a mystery in everyone's eyes. Her martial arts skills have always been taught by their sixth brother himself. From this point of view, she is more like a direct disciple than a niece.

All her equipment was given by her sixth brother. Although Jiang Xiaotong had never revealed her cultivation in front of others, they could vaguely see through the depth of her cultivation.

It cannot be said that it has never happened before. Once when she was playing with her younger brothers and sisters under a cliff, the cliff suddenly slid down on a large scale. At the critical moment, Jiang Xiaotong stepped in to protect her younger brothers and sisters.

That was the only time she displayed her cultivation in front of others, and she used the pendant she had always worn on her forehead.

The pendant was in the shape of a flat teardrop, shining like crystal, and at first glance it looked like an ordinary ornament. But the incident on the cliff made everyone realize the extraordinary nature of this pendant.

At the critical moment, more than a dozen streams of light shot out from the pendant, as fast as lightning, shattering the sliding cliff and protecting his younger brothers and sisters.

It was not until then that everyone realized that this seemingly ordinary pendant was actually a mini sword box that could hold more than a dozen flying swords, or possibly even more.

Moreover, when he unexpectedly displayed his cultivation, many people present had already vaguely realized that Jiang Xiaotong's martial arts aura came from the same source as their sixth brother's martial arts aura.

From this point, it can be judged that their niece's cultivation is all inherited from the sixth brother. In a sense, she can be said to be the successor of the sixth brother.

Many people were envious of this. As for Jiang Yi's superb magical skills, any warrior would be envious, but they could only think about it and could not be taught. But Jiang Xiaotong got it, so they envied her. At the same time, they also looked at Jiang Xiaotong with equal eyes. In the eyes of many people, they were even a little afraid of this girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old.

Although she had always been quiet, well-behaved, and even semi-transparent in front of Jiang Yi, no one dared to neglect her, and some people in the mansion had even begun to call her "Young Master".

In this way, a large group of people at the table chatted about family matters, among which some confidential topics were vaguely revealed, but they were all just mentioned briefly.

However, there were two people who had lost their previous liveliness and became like two silent people, occasionally looking up with evasive eyes. They were the third brother Jiang Zhongshu and the fifth brother Jiang Zhongren.

"Third and fifth brothers, it's fine that you didn't know your sister-in-law was pregnant before, but now that you know, shouldn't you show some respect?"

After drinking some wine, Jiang Zhongchi became bolder. He was still a little upset about the scene where Chenxiangyuan was "abandoned" and blamed by the two brothers. He felt even more upset when he saw the two people sitting there timidly from beginning to end.

The third and fifth brothers looked bitter when they heard this. Who could have thought that retribution would come so quickly? They had just successfully passed the buck during the day, and now the retribution had come.

The problem is that they had already sent gifts to their second brother and his wife, and under their second brother's "coercion", it was really a generous gift, so expensive that they still feel a little painful about it.

But even if you know that the hole you dug during the day is a pit of fire, you still have to jump into it.

The third brother, Jiang Zhongshu, blinked and raised his head to say something, but was stopped by Jiang Zhongchi: "Third brother, those books are your favorites. I, the second brother, will never take away someone else's favorites."

Jiang Zhongshu's face darkened. Originally, he wanted to give a few books as a perfunctory gesture, but now it seemed... looking at the contemptuous looks from almost everyone at the table, he felt ashamed for the first time.

But this is not anyone else's fault. Since the day Jiang Zhongshu started to keep books in his hands, he has never given anyone a proper gift. Every time he gave someone a few books, he would act like he was reluctant to give up.

Because of his status and Jiang Yi's reputation as a book lover, everyone turned a blind eye. The last time he sent a pregnancy gift to Jiang Zhongchi and his wife, he wanted to do the same thing.

But unfortunately, he met the equally shameless Jiang Zhongchi, who insisted on dragging him in front of Jiang Yi to talk about brotherhood. In the end, he was forced to suffer a heavy loss.

"I heard that the third brother got a rare night-shining pearl not long ago. When he puts it in the room at night, it shines as brightly as day, and it's not dazzling at all..." Pei Yan, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted.

"That's it! Your sister-in-law is afraid of the dark when she sleeps!" Jiang Zhongchi slammed the table.

"Okay, I'll send it to my second sister-in-law tomorrow." The third brother Jiang Zhongshu knew that he couldn't escape the knife today, and his heart was bleeding.

"Old Five, what about you? What gift are you planning to give to Second Sister-in-law?"

Pei Yan looked at Jiang Zhongren again. She blamed the two brothers for her husband's visit to the brothel again, although she also knew Jiang Zhongchi's character.

"I..." Jiang Zhongren looked timid and dejected, "I got a warm jade bed not long ago. It keeps mosquitoes away and keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. I will give it to my second sister-in-law as a gift."

Jiang Zhongchi smiled and winked at his wife frequently, but Pei Yan turned her head away.

Jiang Yi, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly laughed and said, "Xiaotong's birthday is coming up in a few days. You three rich uncles should prepare a gift for her."

"Sixth Uncle, no need..." Jiang Xiaotong didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to herself, and waved her hands repeatedly.

"Of course you should. When the time comes, your aunt can also prepare one. It can be considered as the advance dowry for our Xiaotong." Jiang Ning, who had been watching all this with a smile, smiled.

Jiang Yi nodded. The second, third, and fifth brothers looked bitter, but it disappeared immediately. They looked generous and patted their chests loudly:

"Xiaotong, just wait and see. Second uncle will definitely give you a generous gift."

"That's right, books are extremely valuable, but Xiaotong has more books than Uncle San. Uncle San will not embarrass himself. I will definitely give her a rare treasure when the time comes."

"And Uncle Wu will definitely find you a rare gift."

Jiang Yi then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll check it for Xiaotong when the time comes."

The three brothers smiled and looked at each other privately, as if they were in the same boat. They thought to themselves: Sixth brother, sixth brother, as the lord of Western Frontier, what kind of treasure can catch your eye?

They knew that they had to bleed heavily at this point.

The conversation between the few people made people attentive and understandable: their prince was paving the way for his successor!

"My Lord, the shopkeeper Qiu from Chenxiang Court is outside the door asking to see you. He said he wants to apologize."

At this time, a voice came from outside the door, and Jiang Yi knew that the highlight of tonight was coming...
