Chapter 432 Isn't this enough to be utterly humiliating?
Chapter 432 Isn't this enough to be utterly humiliating?
As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." Following his older brother Yinzhuo's example, the Fourteenth Prince couldn't help but be shameless. Hearing his Sixth Brother grin, he got up and went around behind Yinzhuo to give him a fawning massage on his shoulders.
"Sixth Brother, what are you saying? Isn't it true that whoever feeds you is your mother, and whoever doesn't feed you is your father? When you said that before, I was just jealous, wasn't I? Sixth Brother, please forgive me because I'm still young. Next time there's something like this, Sixth Brother, remember to include your little brother too."
Yinzhuo did not refuse his younger brother's rare attentiveness, and simply closed his eyes to enjoy it.
"Hmph, I've noticed it now, you've gotten more and more shameless these past few years. You think you can get away with it just because you're still young? Well then, may I ask how old you are, Fourteenth Master? Almost thirty, right? Sigh... Are you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to crush my shoulder with that much force?"
The two brothers were making a ruckus when Yinti walked in from outside with a small box in his hand. He bumped right into the fourteenth prince, who was running around in all directions. Instinctively, he reached out and grabbed the prince by the collar, lifting him up in his hand.
"Fourteen, I've told you so many times to be more careful in your words and actions. How come you haven't improved at all over the years? Here, your third brother's letter. Sixth, your precious little brother has found you some work again."
Fourteen was pushed by his elder brother and stumbled, but he didn't dare to say anything. He obediently walked to Yinzhuo's side, found a seat, and sat down. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his elder brother didn't follow him.
To be honest, the Fourteenth Prince let his guard down a little too soon. Yinzhuo took the small box containing Yinzhi's letters from Yinti, opened it, and quickly read the letters. His first reaction was to look around, intending to find something handy to give that brat, the Fourteenth Prince, a good beating.
At this moment, the Fourteenth Prince was clearly unaware that danger was quietly approaching. He was sitting there happily drinking tea and eating snacks, thinking about how to decorate his newly acquired Lion Garden. It wasn't until Yinzhuo came over with a feather duster that he belatedly realized that he had fallen into the hands of his Sixth Brother again.
"Ouch...it hurts...sixth brother, you can't be so vengeful! Didn't we already move on from what happened earlier? Ouch...no, why are you still hitting me..."
Yinzhu chased after the Fourteenth Prince, slapping and hitting him repeatedly for a long time, until he was so tired that he could no longer run and had to stop. The Fourteenth Prince was indeed a man who was used to being tough and bruised on the training ground every day. Look at his thick skin and flesh. He didn't even have to breathe a sigh of relief after this contest with his Sixth Brother.
Yinti sat to the side and watched the commotion for a while. Seeing that Yinzuo was really tired from chasing, he got up and went over to pull him to the seat he had been sitting in. He personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to him before raising his hand to wave to the Fourteenth Prince who was standing at the door.
"Little Fourteen, I'll ask you one last time, are you going to obediently walk over here yourself, or will your older brother go and fetch you..."
Don't be fooled by the fact that Fourteenth Prince dared to bargain with his sixth brother, Yinzhuo. But when facing his eldest brother, Yinti, who was extremely strong in martial arts, all his arrogance vanished. He frowned and thought for a long time before finally deciding to be a hero.
Yinzhuo's head was buzzing whenever he saw the Fourteenth Prince. Without thinking, he grabbed the small box that had been holding the letters on the table and threw it at him as the Fourteenth Prince walked towards him.
Fourteenth Prince was always quite skilled, and Yinzhuo's sneak attack was no match for him. With a slight lift of his hand, he caught the small box that Yinzhuo threw at him steadily.
If he had just stood there and obediently let the box hit him, Yinzhuo might have calmed down out of guilt. But when he reached out to catch it, good heavens, that set off a firecracker.
"Akshan, Hatu, you two take some men and hold Fourteen down right now. If I don't give him a good beating today, I'll change my name. Big brother, find a place to sit down and wait for me. I'll talk to you after I've dealt with this little bastard Fourteen."
Even if Fourteenth Prince was skilled, he was no match for the crowd. He was quickly captured and brought before Yinzhuo by Hatu, Aksang and a group of people.
Yinzhu was furious at the moment. Seeing that the Fourteenth Prince was being subdued, he got up, grabbed the feather duster from the table, and went over to him. Without even looking at the Fourteenth Prince's head or buttocks, he started whipping him.
"I see you're the kind of kid who gets into trouble if you don't discipline him for three days. You're just bored, aren't you? You got something good, why don't you go somewhere to enjoy it in private, instead of writing a letter back to the capital to show off to people? Well, now look what's happened. Third Brother is writing to me asking for the garden. What, why don't you give him your Lion Garden?"
Fourteenth Prince had barely warmed the newly acquired garden in his pocket, so how could he be willing to give it away to someone else? Upon hearing Yinzhuo's words, he shook his head like a rattle drum, making it very clear that he was unwilling.
Even though Yinzhuo was quite angry and wanted to give the Fourteenth Prince a good beating, his physical strength simply couldn't keep up. Before the Fourteenth Prince even felt anything, Yinzhuo's arm was already aching. Looking at his pitiful younger brother, what could Yinzhuo do? It was only because Consort De wasn't there that he was able to beg his mother to let him put the troublemaker, the Fourteenth Prince, back into his belly for a second chance.
Seeing his sixth brother throw down the feather duster and leave without a word, Fourteenth Brother was afraid that his newly acquired garden would really be given to Yinzhi. He immediately forgot about the pain in his body and chased after him.
"Sixth Brother, please, I'm begging you, I really can't give that garden to Third Brother. We brothers received the reward together, and if only mine is taken back, where will I put my face? Good Sixth Brother, please help me this one last time, okay? If you don't help me, then... then I'll just find a rope and hang myself right here at your door. That's better than losing all my face..."
When the Fourteenth Prince started acting spoiled, he was exactly the same as when he was a child. Since there were only the three of them in the West Chamber, he simply sat down on the ground, grabbed his sixth brother's leg, and started howling. Yinti and Yinzuo, who were standing to the side, felt their temples throbbing.
Isn't this enough to lose all face? He even found a rope to hang himself at the entrance of the West Gate. Yinzhuo felt that if the Fourteenth Prince continued to make a scene like this, he wouldn't need to go find him himself; he could just find a rope, tie him up, and hang him on that tree outside to swing on.
"Fourteen, I'm going to count to three now. If you know what's good for you, you'd better let go of my leg and get up from the ground. Otherwise, you'll see how I deal with you."
