Chapter 73 That person originally attacked the Crown Prince's wife the day before yesterday

Xue Yili remained calm, but his eyebrows slightly raised.

He died at the age of 25, at the hands of the heir he personally chose...

How blind will he be in the future?

Ji Jinyou raised his head and looked at the young boy standing in front of him wiping his hands. [His eyesight was not very good.]

System: [It’s really not good. ]

Ji Jinyou: [Does it say who his successor is? ]

System: [That’s not what I said. Once Xue Yili dies, the book ends. The story ends here.]

Ji Jinyou was very confused: "What on earth is this book about? In the end, everyone fights to death. What's the point?"

[Youzi, that's a good question. Let me look through it to see if there are any lofty ideas.] The system flipped back and forth, but found nothing. [Sorry, Youzi, I didn't find it.]

Ji Jinyou didn't really care. He was already in this world, so it didn't matter whether he had any intention or not.

After thinking for a while, she asked in confusion: [Tongzhu, do you know why Xiao Yuzi chose an heir at such a young age?]

System: [I don’t know at this time.]

Ji Jinyou thought about it again and again, and guessed: [It is probably because he has some serious illness and will not live long. ]

After a second thought, he denied his guess: [If he didn't live long, there would be no need for his heir to kill him. This is really strange.]

System: [I don’t know.]

Xue Yili held the little girl's chubby hand full of dimpled flesh and rubbed it slowly, and the same doubts arose in his heart.

I was puzzled and shocked at the same time. Is such careful thinking something a three-year-old kid should have?

However, this was not the first time that he was shocked by the little girl. He had already determined in his heart that she was a talented person, so he did not think much about it.

Looking at the chubby little face, and thinking of the scene he had just seen in the Yu Garden, he couldn't help but smile. The little girl was smart, but she was only a three-year-old child after all.

Ji Jinyou chatted with the system for a long time. When she came back to her senses, she found that Little Proton was still wiping her hands, but his eyes were on her face and he was still smiling.

Her first reaction was that something had stained her face when she rolled on the ground just now, but then she thought that he had already wiped her face, so it shouldn't be like that, so she asked, "Your Highness, what are you laughing at?"

Xue Yili quickly calmed down and said, "Nothing."

Ji Jinyou looked at his hand holding the handkerchief. Xue Yili took the handkerchief as if nothing had happened, threw it into the basin, and walked out holding the basin.

Xue Yili passed the snack plate to Ji Jinyou and said, "Eat it."

Ji Jinyou didn't hesitate to pick up a piece of mung bean cake and nibbled it slowly, swinging her two little feet back and forth on the edge of the chair.

Xue Yili sat next to her and saw a tiny blade of grass stuck to her shoulder. He reached out and took it, holding it between his fingers without throwing it away. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Why haven't you come to learn to read in the past few days?"

There was a subtle grievance in the boy's voice, but Ji Jinyou didn't hear it. He just nodded his head and said, "You saw it just now. I was busy taking care of the children."

When a three-year-old kid said seriously that he wanted to take care of the child, Xue Yili couldn't help laughing out loud, and the slight grievance in his heart disappeared.

Ji Jinyou also found it a little funny: "I'm your aunt, there's nothing I can do about it."

Xue Yili asked again, "Then why were you like that just now?"

As he said this, he gestured in the air with his hands, as if to ask why you were rolling and spinning on the ground.

Thinking that he had seen the scene that would damage her image, Ji Jinyou's face turned awkward, but she didn't explain. She just chuckled and tried to brush it off.

Xue Yili saw that she was unwilling to talk, so he stopped asking. He saw that she finished a snack and took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands and did not take any more. Fearing that she would leave immediately, he asked: "Since you are here, why not learn a few words?"

Thinking about going back to face his crybaby brother and his big nephew who likes to make trouble, Ji Jinyou felt overwhelmed and nodded immediately: "Okay."

Xue Yili couldn't help but smile. He reached out and carried the little girl directly to the couch, then went briskly to prepare writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.

---

The young master and the seventeenth prince washed their faces and hands in Miaoyunxuan, and each ate a bowl of mung bean soup cooked by Concubine Ru herself, plus a plate of grapes.

After the two little boys had eaten and drunk their fill, they couldn't help but look towards the door. They looked for a long time but didn't see Xiaojiu come back.

The young master was a little anxious, "Uncle Seventeen, why hasn't Aunt Nine come back yet? How about we go look for her?"

Concubine Ru was embroidering flowers nearby and couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

It was correct to call him "young master" in terms of seniority, but every time she thought about her own daughter becoming an aunt at such a young age and acting like an elder all day long, she found it very funny.

Seventeen was also anxious, but he listened to Xiaojiu and shook his head: "But Xiaojiu said that we should wait for her to come back."

In the past, in the princess's mansion, the young master would do whatever he wanted to do immediately without asking for other people's opinions. But when he thought of the chubby Aunt Xiaojiu rolling around on the ground, sweat broke out on his forehead and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Haitang had just returned and had already secretly told Rufei what happened in Yu Garden. After hearing this, Rufei almost laughed to death and thought that Youyou was really smart. She also guessed that she might stay there for a while before coming back.

Seeing the two little boys twisting and turning in their chairs in a state of restlessness, he smiled and said to them, "Xiaojiu will probably have to learn a few words from the little prince before he can come back. Why don't you play something else first?"

Seventeen knew that Youyou and Xiao Zhengzi had learned to read, but the young master didn't know that. When he heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately had an idea in his mind.

He jumped down from the chair and walked to Concubine Ru: "Madam Concubine Ru, Yu'er can also read. Can you let Yu'er teach Aunt Xiaojiu?"

This really stumped Concubine Ru. She smiled gently and said, "Youyou made the decision yourself. You need to discuss this with your aunt."

The young master nodded: "Okay then, I'll go talk to my aunt myself later."

Concubine Ru looked at Seventeen encouragingly, "Seventeen, why don't you take the young master to play something else first?"

Over the past few days, with the encouragement and care of Ru Fei and You You, Seventeen was no longer as timid as he was at the beginning. He nodded and walked up to the young master and said, "Let's go jump on the grid, okay? Xiao Jiu drew it."

When he heard that it was drawn by Xiaojiu's aunt, the young master immediately became interested: "What grid is it jumping?"

Seventeen took the young master and walked forward: "You will know when you go and see it."

Seeing the two little boys who had been jealous of each other for many days walking out hand in hand, Concubine Ru smiled with relief, secretly sighing that Youyou's trick was quite useful.

Ji Jinyou exchanged a dozen words with Xue Yili and then prepared to go back.

"I'll take you there." Seeing that she had already moved to the edge of the couch, Xue Yili took a step forward, picked up her two little shoes, and squatted on the ground to put them on her.

Ji Jinyou wanted to say no, but he moved very quickly and put her clothes on in no time. Then he didn't ask her anything and just picked her up and walked out.

Ji Jinyou thought he was just going to send her to the gate, so she didn't say anything and let him hold her in his arms. But when they got to the gate, he didn't stop and kept walking forward.

She kicked her chubby legs twice and said, "Your Highness, just send me here." Jin Xing followed, so there was really no need to send her off again.

Jin Xing, who had been following beside him, stepped forward upon hearing this, stretched out her hand and said, "Young prince, give it to me."

"It's okay." Xue Yili avoided her hand, walked quickly to the front, looked down at the little girl, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I'll take you back."

Ji Jinyou knew how heavy he was, and really didn't understand why Little Proton didn't feel tired at all. But seeing that he was persisting and holding him steadily, he didn't say anything else.

Xue Yili carried the little girl all the way back to Miaoyunxuan. He put her down at the gate and touched the little tuft of hair on her head. "Little princess, will you come tomorrow?"

Before Ji Jinyou could answer, the little master and Seventeen, who were playing hopscotch in the yard, stopped jumping and ran over when they saw Xiaojiu coming back.

Seventeen smiled shyly, but her big, twinkling eyes revealed her genuine happiness: "Xiaojiu, you're back."

Seeing Shiqi happy, Ji Jinyou was also happy and reached out to hold his hand: "Brother."

The young master was so happy that he jumped up and down, saying coquettishly, "Aunt Xiaojiu, Yu'er misses you. Do you miss Yu'er?"

Ji Jinyou stretched out her other little hand, stood on tiptoe, and touched the little prince's head: "Good boy, auntie misses you too."

Seeing this scene, the usually calm Xue Yili's eyes twitched uncontrollably and he burst into laughter.

Ji Jinyou turned around to look at him, and he quickly put away his smile, bowed, and said, "See you tomorrow, little princess." Then he turned and left.

Ji Jinyou was puzzled. She didn't say that she would definitely go to see him tomorrow. But before she could think about it, she was led into the courtyard by Seventeen and the Young Master on both sides.

As soon as they entered the room, the young master couldn't wait to tell her that he wanted to teach her how to read, but Ji Jinyou shook her head and refused.

In the past few days, she has heard from her seventh and eighth sisters that her third sister will come back after finishing her business in the fiefdom and will not leave for a short time.

That means she has to take care of the young prince and her nephew all the time.

On the way back just now, she had made up her mind that when she was tired of taking care of the child in the future, she would use the excuse of going to Xue Yili's place to learn to read and hide away for a while.

But the young master was not willing to give up so easily, and he kept chasing Ji Jinyou to make her agree. Ji Jinyou was so annoyed by him that she had no choice but to test him to see what he could do.

At the beginning of this year, the Third Princess's residence hired a teacher to teach the young master, but he loved to play and didn't pay much attention in class.

During the past six months, the princess and Marquis Chengyang had been troubled by their gambling debts and had no time to care about their youngest son's studies. The teacher saw that the young prince was naughty and unwilling to learn, and the princess and her husband did not care. After two months of study, he did not learn anything, so he simply resigned from the job and left the princess's mansion.

Therefore, the young master did not learn anything, or rather, he forgot most of what he learned.

But he thought, Aunt Xiaojiu couldn't even walk well, and she certainly couldn't recognize a few words. What he knew was enough for her to learn, so he patted his chest and agreed confidently: "Okay, take the test if you want."

Ji Jinyou didn't want Rufei and Jin Xing to see it, so she took the two little boys to the yard, found the small wooden stick she usually used for scribbling, and started writing on the ground.

The young master recognized what was written at the beginning, but later he could not answer. His little face turned red and he felt very embarrassed. Finally, he stomped his feet, cried and ran away.

The palace maid hurriedly chased after him: "Young Master, please slow down."

Seventeen held the little girl's hand, pointed at the pile of words on the ground, and whispered, "Xiaojiu, test me."

Seventeen is now six and a half years old. He started to learn at the age of five and has already attended classes in Chaohui Palace for a year and a half. Of course he knows these characters and there is no need for him to take a test.

But when Ji Jinyou saw his big eyes flashing with anticipation, she deliberately warned him, "If you can't do it, you're not allowed to cry."

Seventeen nodded excitedly: "I will definitely not cry."

Ji Jinyou used a small wooden stick to point to the words that the young master had not answered just now. Seventeen answered them all without missing a single one, and then looked at the little girl eagerly, waiting for praise.

Seeing the little smugness on his face that he couldn't hide, Ji Jinyou threw away the stick in his hand, clapped his hands, and said in surprise: "Wow, Brother Seventeen, you are so awesome!"

Seventeen's face turned red, and she smiled with her lips pursed in embarrassment, "Not bad."

Ji Jinyou stretched out her two little hands towards him: "Then reward brother and hug Youyou for a while."

Shiqi always wanted to hug her, but he was not strong enough and dropped her to the ground twice. Ji Jinyou refused to let him hug her anymore.

Seventeen's eyes lit up, and he walked forward to pick up the little girl, and walked a few steps until Ji Jinyou felt that she was slipping again and shouted to stop, then he put the girl down, feeling extremely happy.

Seeing him smiling silly, Ji Jinyou was also very happy and held his hand and shook it.

Ru Fei came out and said, "It's too hot outside, let's go back and play."

Ji Jinyou hurriedly used her little feet to stamp down the words drawn on the ground, "Okay."

Concubine Ru stepped forward, holding Xiaojiu with one hand and Shiqi with the other: "Why did the young master run away crying just now?"

Ji Jinyou spread out her hands and said, "He can't read, so he cried in panic."

Concubine Ru shook her head in amusement, thinking that the young master had a really bad temper.

The third princess hadn't come back yet, so the young prince was living with the queen. He ran back to Fengyi Palace in a rage and threw himself on the queen as soon as he entered the room: "Grandma, Yu'er needs to study."

The queen was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. She held her little grandson in her arms and said with a smile, "Our Yu'er wants to study. All right, all right. I will go find your grandfather later and ask him to hire a teacher for you."

The young master clenched his fists and said loudly: "Yuer wants the most powerful master."

The queen didn't know what had inspired her little grandson, but seeing his high-spirited look, she was both happy and amused: "Okay, I'll find the most amazing teacher for our Yu'er."

Thinking of the shame he had just suffered in front of Aunt Xiaojiu, the young master pursed his lips, feeling extremely aggrieved, and buried his head in the empress's arms: "Grandmother, when will my mother come back? Yu'er misses her."

The queen counted the days and said, "It will only be a few days."

This was the first time that the third princess had been separated from her son for such a long time. She was eager to return home, so she rode at top speed all the way, sleeping in the open air and eventually arriving back in the capital two days earlier than the empress had expected.

As soon as the third princess entered the gate of Fengyi Palace, she saw her son lying at the table, writing big characters very seriously. She was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.

After the mother and son hugged each other affectionately, the young master ran back to continue writing on his own accord. He also pushed the third princess to ask her to go talk to the queen, saying that he couldn't concentrate on writing with her there. The third princess didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pinched her son's face and got up to find the queen.

The mother and daughter went into the inner room, and the third princess told them in detail about her trip back to Linjiang County. When she mentioned that Marquis Chengyang had cut off his finger and joined the army, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

The queen sighed and held her daughter in her arms: "Alright, alright."

The mother and daughter were sentimental for a while. The third princess wiped her tears, pointed outside and asked in a low voice: "Mother, what happened to Yu'er? You know, this little bastard is always playful and greedy. Why did he suddenly change his nature?"

The queen couldn't help laughing: "It's all because of Xiaojiu..."

The Queen told the Third Princess about the recent events of the children. The Third Princess laughed so hard that she fell on the couch, holding her stomach, and tears flew out. "It's really hard for Xiaojiu."

The Queen glared at her and said, "That's right. Yu'er, this little devil, has scared her Seventh and Eighth Aunts. In the past, they took care of Little Nine all day long, but now, when they see Yu'er coming, they quickly stay away from her."

The third princess smiled and shook her head, looking helpless: "Yu'er is indeed a difficult child. I will thank his aunt Xiaojiu in the future."

The Queen said meaningfully: "You should really thank Xiaojiu, but not for these little things."

The third princess knew what the queen was talking about. She stopped smiling and nodded solemnly: "I know, but I have no way to repay your life-saving grace."

The Queen patted her hands and said, "But you don't have to worry. The fourth prince was so reckless a while ago that he gave too many things at once, and Concubine Ru became suspicious. There is still a long way to go, so take your time."

The third princess agreed. But she still brought two baskets of special products from Linjiang County and personally delivered them to Miaoyunxuan, saying that she was thanking Xiaojiu for taking care of the young master. She also took Xiaojiu to talk to him affectionately for a long time before leaving.

Ji Jinyou was very happy when the third princess came back, thinking that the young master could go and stay with his mother, and she finally didn't have to take care of the child all day.

But she guessed wrong. The young master did not come to see her early in the morning. However, he was not sticking to his mother, but was concentrating on learning to read.

The third princess originally thought that her son would most likely be like his father who was neither good at literature nor martial arts. Now that she saw that the little boy was ambitious, she thought that God had a good heart and had blessed Xiaojiu.

With so many feelings in her heart, the third princess struck while the iron was hot and used Xiaojiu as an excuse to fool the little prince, assigning him study tasks every day.

The young master thought of the humiliation he had suffered that day, so he was very strong and only went to see Aunt Xiaojiu after completing his tasks every day.

The young master no longer clung to Xiaojiu all day long, and Princess Seventh and Eighth were happy. She went to pick up Xiaojiu early every morning as before.

Of course, they also brought along the little tail Seventeen, but Seventeen was so well-behaved and quiet that Princesses Seven and Eight, apart from feeling sorry for him, actually began to really like this little brother.

On this day, the four people came out of Miaoyunxuan, stayed in Mingzhu Palace for a while, and then went to Furong Palace to see the small animals. Just after playing for a while, someone from Fengyi Palace came to say that the eldest prince and his wife had entered the palace, and asked them to go to Fengyi Palace to talk. So the four people went to Fengyi Palace again.

After everyone greeted each other, they sat down. The young master stopped writing and walked forward to hold Ji Jinyou's hand, saying affectionately: "Aunt Xiaojiu, Yu'er will teach you after learning calligraphy for a few more days."

"Okay." Ji Jinyou nodded, but his eyes fell on the slightly bulging belly of the eldest prince's wife, and he asked in his heart: [Everyone, I don't know if the man who wanted to harm my eldest sister-in-law has been caught. ]

[It's been so long, he should have been caught.] The system flipped through the pages: [I saw that according to the original plot, that person originally attacked the eldest prince's wife the day before yesterday, but you see the eldest prince's wife is fine.]

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room fell silent, except, of course, the young master who heard nothing.

He was still shaking Xiaojiu's hand and chattering non-stop: "Aunt Xiaojiu, Yu'er will teach you to read first. When Yu'er learns to ride a horse, Yu'er will teach you to ride a horse. And archery, Yu'er still needs to learn archery..."

"Okay." Ji Jinyou answered perfunctorily, and then asked: [The day before yesterday, that person took action, why didn't you tell me about it. 】

System: [Youzi, this is not my fault. You ignored me the day before yesterday. ]

That's right. If she doesn't look for the system, the system won't pop up and talk. Ji Jinyou thought about it carefully and sighed in her heart: [It's your fault, I was busy taking care of the kids those days and forgot to ask you.]

Then he asked: [Did you say who it was? ]

The eldest prince and his wife both leaned forward slightly and listened with their ears tilted.

System: [She is the eldest prince's wife's wet nurse. ]
