I really became a king.

Chapter 528: One Emperor and One Courtier
Jiang Yi and his group continued walking forward after leaving the teahouse.

After walking for a distance, Duo Luo stepped forward and whispered, "The man just now was the nephew of Manager An."

Manager An? Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, then asked, "An Daohui?"

"Yes." Dora replied.

Jiang Yi nodded and said nothing.

An Daohui is considered an old man in the Prince Duan's Mansion and a confidant of his "father". When he returned to the Prince Duan's Mansion from the Northern Frontier, he must have brought some orders from Prince Duan Jiang Lie.

But after returning, he found that the entire Prince Duan's Mansion had been completely controlled by Jiang Yi, and even the family generals who returned from the Northern Frontier had joined his army.

Forced by the situation, and because An Daohui did not want to see the huge Prince Duan's Mansion fall apart, he gave up Prince Duan Jiang Lie's order to divide the Prince Duan's Mansion into seven parts.

Over the years, he had witnessed Jiang Yi's rise step by step from the crown prince of Prince Duan's Palace, to eventually establishing his own palace and becoming a prince. Moreover, the power of Prince Yi's Palace had already far surpassed that of Prince Duan's Palace back then.

An Daohui slowly let go of his old thoughts and began to try to integrate into the Prince Yi's Mansion little by little.

However, "a new emperor appoints new ministers", and with Duo Luo around, An Daohui could no longer serve as the general manager of the palace as before.

Jiang Yi did not deliberately ignore the other party, but instead appointed him as the chief steward of foreign affairs of Prince Yi's Palace, responsible for managing the industries under Prince Yi's Palace.

In the past few years, An Daohui has worked diligently and managed the assets of Prince Yi's Mansion in an orderly manner, and has become one of Jiang Yi's right-hand men.

However, because Prince Duan Jiang Lie is still in the northern border, An Daohui has actually been deliberately keeping a distance from him in recent years.

Jiang Yi did not deliberately make things difficult for the other party because he still had his old master in mind and he was nominally his father. As long as he didn't take that step, he would just turn a blind eye.

Seeing that Jiang Yi had not said anything, Duo Luo continued to speak carefully: "Although An Zongguan's nephew has acted a little recklessly, he has not done anything evil..."

This is speaking well of An Daohui.

Jiang Yi raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Don't do evil even if it's small, and don't refrain from doing good even if it's small. Tell An Daohui that he should be disciplined."

"Yes." Duo Luo chewed on these words slowly and responded with his head down.

However, the four sisters of the Fu family, who had been following quietly behind him, looked a little bitter after hearing the relationship clearly.

An Daohui was an old man in Prince Duan's Mansion back then, and he was also the confidant of the old prince, Prince Duan. His seniority was much higher than theirs.

But they just cut off a finger of that young man, which is no small matter. I'm afraid Manager An will not let it go, and a grudge has probably been created.

Among the four sisters, the eldest sister, Fu Chun, was the most gentle and sensible. She stepped forward and bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, the owner of the tea stall is one of our cousins..."

"Uncle?" Jiang Yi was a little confused. These two words had a very broad scope. From great aunt to great aunt, to uncle and aunt, there would be a so-called "uncle" everywhere.

Seeing this, Fu Chun continued to explain: "He is our aunt's biological brother."

"Oh... Tuosan..." Jiang Yi suddenly realized.

No wonder the woman and the four Fu sisters all seemed a little uncomfortable; they must have recognized each other.

With the cleverness of the proprietress, she must have guessed my identity, which is why she behaved a little shy. Even after being "teased" by me unintentionally, she did not dare to fight back and could only endure it silently.

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: Sigh, I really acted a little too recklessly...

No wonder Fu Qiu was so angry. Seeing his cousin's wife being "teased" by his own master, he must have been unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it.

It just so happened that at this moment, An Daohui's nephew bumped into him. In addition, the other party had a foul mouth and said some unpleasant words, so he became the target of Fu Qiu's anger.

Jiang Yi glanced at Fu Qiu, and the little girl noticed it, lowered her head and dared not look at Jiang Yi, took a few steps and hid behind Fu Chun. I think she knew that she had accidentally caused trouble, and that Manager An might not let it go.

"It's okay. I will inform Manager An about this matter."

Jiang Yi smiled indifferently. As the saying goes, "A new emperor appoints new ministers" and he who knows practical matters is a hero. An Daohui will figure it out.

Hearing this, Fu Qiu patted her chest gently. Although the four sisters were favored, compared with An Daohui, their importance was still too insignificant.

However, it would be different if the prince himself came out to endorse it.

Along the way, Jiang Youning wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Jiang Yi who patted his head. At the same time, he felt a little headache. This little girl was the kind of person who only wanted to create chaos in the world. He would be worried about her in the future.

Jiang Yi was not afraid of getting into any trouble because he would take care of it anyway. He was worried about her safety and was thinking about ways to strengthen his daughter's protection.

Without any worries, the Fu sisters regained their lively nature, chirping all the way, as melodiously as larks.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at an alley in the northwest corner of the town near the East Demon Realm Pass.

At this time, there were already quite a few people gathered here, pointing at a house and whispering about something.

Jiang Yi squeezed into the crowd and leaned forward, and heard a sentence: "What use does your Liu family have for this house? There is no one with a penis to pass on the incense."

The speaker was a well-dressed young man. Although his clothes were bright and fancy, they could not hide the narrow-mindedness and meanness in his bones.

This sentence in particular made Jiang Yi extremely unhappy.

It was tantamount to pointing at the Liu family and scolding them for being extinct, which was a huge insult in this world where male bloodline inheritance was particularly important.

Liu Guangqiu was so angry that his face flushed. He was about to say something, but was calmed down by a girl of about 18 or 19. Sister Xiaorou was also there, but her husband An Songyi was not seen.

During the following quarrel, Jiang Yi just listened silently, but his eyes were always on several figures.

A few years passed, and they looked even older, especially Liu Guangqiu, whose hair had turned completely white, and his complexion was no longer as rosy as when he was a second-rate man.

The quarrel became more and more intense. A woman was holding a little girl of six or seven years old in her arms, crying silently. She was the mother of this body.

Jiang Yi sighed secretly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but unable to recognize him.

"Dad..." Jiang Youning noticed his father's abnormality, gently pulled his sleeve and called him, then asked:

"Does Daddy know them?"

In front of his daughter, Jiang Yi did not avoid her and said with some melancholy: "I know her. Her family has been very kind to Daddy..."

Jiang Youning looked up at his father, with questions in his mind, but he didn't ask.

"Youning, Daddy may not have the chance to repay you in this lifetime, so you can take care of me for Daddy when you have the chance in the future...

If...if there is a chance, kowtow to them on behalf of Daddy. After all, in terms of seniority, they are all your elders..."

Jiang Yi's tone was melancholy. Even if he had enough strength to reveal his true identity in the future, Jiang Yi probably wouldn't have the courage to recognize him.

Over the past few years, he has truly treated the Jiang brothers as his own family, especially their elder sister Jiang Ning. He can no longer give up this kinship.

Once they recognize each other, this family affection may not be retained, especially for elder sister Jiang Ning. After all, her most beloved younger brother died at the hands of Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi didn't want her to face this cruel fact one day. If possible, he hoped that this secret would remain forever.
