Chapter 76: How dare the little coward Seventeen kill someone?

Previously, the Twelfth Prince came to visit the Thirteenth Prince. After hearing the Thirteenth Prince's complaints, he called out the Fourteenth Prince and the Fifteenth Prince to give them a lecture.

Fourteen never had any ideas, nor did he have a bad temper. Although he was not convinced in his heart, he still listened obediently.

The Fifteenth Prince did not like his brother the Twelfth Prince very much and sneered at his words, but because he was his elder brother and his current situation did not allow him to act recklessly like before, he had no choice but to listen.

It can be seen that Twelve actually attacked Xiaojiu, as if he wanted to hit someone. He quickly jumped in front of Xiaojiu and stretched out his arms to protect her behind him. Fourteen was a beat slower and took a step forward to stand side by side with Fifteen.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Seventeen picked up Xiaojiu and took several steps back, looking at the Twelfth Prince vigilantly.

The young master didn't know what was going on, but seeing the twelfth prince's unfriendly look, he rolled up his sleeves and protected Xiao Jiu. His face turned cold as he questioned, "Uncle Twelve, do you want to beat my uncle and aunt? Believe it or not, I'll tell my grandfather."

Ji Jinyou was startled by the look in the twelfth prince's eyes. Before she could react, she was protected by her three brothers and an eldest nephew.

Seventeen held the little girl for a while, but he couldn't hold her anymore. But he didn't know what his twelfth brother was going to do, so he didn't dare put Little Nine down. His little face was flushed with exhaustion.

Ji Jinyou realized that he was slipping down, so he stretched out his two chubby arms to hook around Seventeen's neck, and looked at the Twelfth Prince with confusion. He was so scared that he forgot to talk to the system for a moment.

The twelfth prince saw the little ones protecting Little Nine like this, and his eyes swept over their faces. He had a guess in his mind and asked, "You...you also..."

Then he widened his eyes in disbelief and clamped his hands around his neck.

Thirteen and Fourteen looked at each other, dragged along the young master, and the three of them, protecting Seventeen who was holding Little Nine, ran quickly to the west side hall. As soon as they entered the door, Fifteen ordered, "Chang Xing, quickly close the door and fasten the bolt."

The sun was scorching, and Chang Xing felt distressed for his little prince who had been scolded under the sun for such a long time. He immediately did as he was told.

The seventeenth prince couldn't hold Little Nine anymore, so he put her on the ground. Then he, along with the fourteenth, fifteenth and young master, lay on the door and looked out through the crack.

The young master didn't understand what was going on, but his face was filled with excitement. He asked quietly, "Uncle Fifteen, what are we doing? Are we playing hide-and-seek?"

Fifteen put his hand over his mouth and said, "Shut up, don't talk."

Ji Jinyou was a little confused about the current situation, but seeing that everyone was lying there watching, she walked over as well, squeezed through a few little boys, and lay on the crack of the door.

Several children suddenly ran to the west wing hall. Jin Xing and others who were left at the gate of the courtyard reacted and saw that the door of the west wing hall was tightly closed.

Looking at the twelfth prince who was scolding people just now, he was holding his throat and coughing.

A few people didn't know what happened, so Jin Xing ran to the door of the west side hall and asked, "Young master, what happened?"

In fact, Ji Jinyou didn't know what was going on. Seeing Jin Xing was worried, he whispered through the door: "Xing Xing, I'm fine. We are playing."

Seeing that the young master was fine, Jin Xing retreated to the gate of the courtyard to wait.

The twelfth prince covered his throat and coughed for a while, and then several people ran back to the house as if avoiding snakes and scorpions. He was so angry that he cursed under his breath, and then found that he could speak again.

He wanted to chase after him and ask, but the door of the west wing hall was closed, and he was too embarrassed to chase after him. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and walked towards the main hall to look for Thirteen.

Inside the west hall, several children crowded together and lay on the door crack. When they saw Twelve leave, Fourteen, Fifteen, and Seventeen all breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Jinyou looked for a while, but couldn't see anything, so he stood up from the door, pushed aside a few people, and walked to the small round stool to sit down: "Brother Fifteen, do you have tea? I'm thirsty."

"Yes." Fifteen turned around and walked over, asking Chang Xing to pour tea. Chang Xing responded and poured a cup of tea for each of the young masters, and brought up some snacks and fruits.

Seeing that the room was a bit stuffy, Chang Xing asked, "Your Highness, do you want to open this door?"

Fifteen waved his hands: "Not yet."

Since Twelve went to Thirteen's place, he would know about Tong Tong immediately. Just now, Xiao Jiu and Tong Tong were halfway through their conversation, so Twelve should have come back.

Although he knew that Twelve would not be able to say anything in front of Xiaojiu, he looked like he was going to catch Xiaojiu, which was too scary.

Chang Xing nodded in agreement and stepped aside to wait.

Fifteen invited everyone to have some snacks and drink tea, but did not say anything.

Ji Jinyou drank a sip of tea and ate a pear. The young master kept asking questions, wanting to know what happened. However, his three uncles all hemmed and hawed, and no one answered his questions.

He turned around and asked his aunt Xiaojiu, but Ji Jinyou didn't know either and shook his head while holding the pear.

In the main hall, after listening to the Thirteenth Prince's story, the Twelfth Prince was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time. After a while, he finally spoke: "So, what that Tongtong said was true?"

"That's right." The Thirteenth Prince said angrily, "Why else do you think my mother and I have ended up in such a situation?"

The twelfth prince suddenly realized: "No wonder you didn't say anything when I came to see you last time and asked you what happened. It turns out you can't say it."

The Thirteenth Prince told the Twelfth Prince everything he knew, and then asked him, "Brother, what will that Tong Tong say about you?"

The twelfth prince hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "They said I was not a good person, and that I would die."

The Thirteenth Prince snorted, not surprised at all: "That's what Tong Tong said about me and my mother at that time, but didn't he say how you died?"

The twelfth prince shook his head. "I was just about to catch Little Nine and interrogate him carefully, but Fifteen and the others jumped out and are now hiding in the west side hall. I can't interrogate them anymore."

"That's impossible to ask." The Thirteenth Prince said, "But that damn girl has been coming to play with the Fifteenth Prince quite often recently. If you come over more often when you have nothing to do, you'll always be able to hear about it."

The twelfth prince, however, was a man of impatient temperament. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He immediately wanted to know how the man died.

After a moment of silence, he stood up and said, "I'll go sit at the entrance of the west side hall now. I don't believe she won't come out."

After Ji Jinyou finished eating a pear and washed his hands, he was about to leave, but Shiwu wouldn't let him.

Ji Jinyou didn't understand: "Fifteenth brother, Youyou didn't provoke Twelfth brother. We must have misunderstood him just now. He didn't mean to hit me."

Fifteen had no way to explain, so he walked to the door and took a look. He was shocked after seeing it, and turned back and whispered, "He's here again."

Several children rushed to the door again and leaned over to look out through the crack.

Ji Jinyou had short legs, so he ran over last. Just as he lay down at the crack of the door, he saw the twelfth prince had already walked up the stairs, walked to the door, and bent down to look into the crack.

A face suddenly grew bigger, and Ji Jinyou was startled. He quickly hid behind the Fifteenth Prince and asked in a low voice: "Fifteenth Brother, what does he want to do?"

So many people could hear Xiao Jiu and Tong Tong talking, but only Twelve was so annoying. Fifteen got angry and slammed the door, asking loudly, "Twelve Brother, what on earth do you want to do?"

The twelfth prince stood up and wanted to say he was going to look for Xiaojiu, but when he thought of what the thirteenth prince had said, he changed his words and said, "What are you guys playing? I'll join you."

Upon hearing this, the children in the room were all shocked. The twelfth prince was already thirteen years old and was twice as tall as them. He wanted to play with them? What a lie.

The three little princes knew that he was trying to trick Xiaojiu out, so they blocked the door and refused to open it no matter what.

The young master didn't know what was going on, but he had been getting along well with his three younger uncles recently. Seeing that none of them wanted to play with the twelfth prince, he squeezed in front of the door and said, "We don't want to play with you."

But the twelfth prince did not want to wait any longer and was determined to find out today, so he sat down next to the beauty in the corridor and stared at the door.

Seeing this, the young master got angry and slammed the door, saying fiercely: "If you don't leave, I will go back and tell my grandfather, and he will beat you."

Fifteen comforted him: "Don't worry about him."

Ji Jinyou also noticed something was wrong. She stood behind the four people, her hands on her hips, and thought about the conversation that was interrupted earlier. [Everyone, is this Twelve sick?]

Upon hearing this, the twelfth prince immediately sat up straight, put his arms on his legs, stretched his neck forward, and moved as close as possible.

Seeing that Xiaojiu and Tongtong started chatting again, the three little princes became quiet. Only the young master was still speaking harsh words to the twelfth prince outside the door. The fifteenth prince thought he was too noisy and covered his mouth with his hand.

System: [It doesn’t say in the synopsis that he is ill.]

Ji Jinyou: [You said he was dead before, so how did he die? ]

The system flipped through the summary: [Not much, just saying that he helped the Second Prince do something shameful, angered the First Prince's faction, and was later killed by the Seventeenth Prince.]

The Seventeenth Prince was shocked. He killed the Twelve? How could this be possible?

Fourteen and Fifteen turned their heads to look at Seventeen, both with disbelief in their eyes. It was impossible for a coward like Seventeen to dare to kill someone.

Ji Jinyou was also stunned, and subconsciously raised her head to look at Seventeen, but everyone was leaning against the door at the moment, so she could only see the chins of her three brothers.

Great, it was the brat Seventeen who killed him. The Twelfth Prince outside the door had a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, and he stood up from the beauty's side and walked towards the door.

But after taking two steps, he remembered that he couldn't say anything in front of that dead girl, and now Fifteen and the others had heard it, so he couldn't do anything brazenly. So he forced himself to hold back and sat back.

When the fifteenth prince saw Xiaojiu looking up at them, he reached out and touched the little girl's head, blocking her sight.

Ji Jinyou couldn't see Seventeen's face, so he had to lean back on the door to look at Twelve. He saw that he had a sour face and was staring at the door.

She felt more and more that Twelve was really sick and decided to stay away from him in the future.

[Everyone, when did Brother Seventeen kill Brother Twelve? ]

System: [It’s the later stages, the seventeenth prince has grown up, and it’s what happens after he becomes a young general.]

Ji Jinyou: [It’s still early. ]

By that time, the story was in the latter stages and the struggle should have reached a fever pitch. Now the story has begun to fall apart, so this should not happen.

Ji Jinyou asked a few more questions, but the system could not tell him more about the twelfth prince, so Ji Jinyou gave up.

Several children were crowded together, all sweating from the heat. Seeing that the Twelfth Prince had been sitting in the corridor without any further action, Ji Jinyou felt bored, so he pushed his brothers away, turned around, walked back to the couch, climbed up, sat down and ate some snacks.

The twelfth prince waited for a while, and seeing no movement inside, he stood up with a gloomy face, glanced at the door with a gloomy look, then turned and left.
