Chapter 438 She has a bad temper.
At that time, public opinion was undeniable, and when everyone around him thought so, Thirteen was powerless to change it.
In fact, Thirteen also had times when his will was weak. After so many years of brotherhood, he probably only understood Fourth Brother one tenth or one twelveth of the way he understood him.
Sometimes he was not sure. If Fourth Brother looked like this in front of him, how would he look like in front of others?
However, Thirteen felt that Fourth Brother wouldn't be that kind of person. He insisted on following in this life and would definitely guard Little Fourteen closely. He wanted to see what happened back then.
Thirteen had actually been feeling unsure about what had happened recently, especially the fact that his eldest brother had gone to the fourth brother to practice martial arts.
In his previous life, he had never heard of it.
The eldest brother and the fourth brother have never gotten along, and it is unheard of for them to practice martial arts together.
He was also worried about a conflict between his fourth and eldest brothers. The sight of the two of them standing together made Thirteenth Master's heart tremble. His eldest brother's absurd behavior was so numerous that he couldn't even count them with a single slap.
Forming cliques and engaging in personal gain were all considered normal, but apart from that, he also raped women, injured people on horseback, whipped ministers, and contradicted the emperor in public.
There was even a time when Thirteen felt that his elder brother was no longer his elder brother.
Speaking of which, these things happened after my sister-in-law passed away.
When my eldest sister-in-law was alive, my eldest brother never did anything ridiculous. Although he and my eldest sister-in-law gave birth to four daughters in a row, their relationship has always been very good.
However, the Prince's Mansion has never had an heir, and both of them are a little anxious.
After much anticipation, the fifth child finally arrived, a boy. The eldest brother immediately declared that he would be the heir to the Prince of Zhi's mansion.
On the night when the Prince of Zhi's mansion was decorated with lights and colors to welcome the heir, the mistress of the mansion suffered a hemorrhage.
After my eldest sister-in-law passed away, my eldest brother did not attend court for three months. After that, he became like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.
He no longer refused beauties and took them all into his mansion, no matter who gave them to him.
He also began to disregard the rules, frequenting brothels and even gambling without restraint.
People said that the eldest brother was too strict with his sister-in-law, and that he became more unruly after she died.
Until the eve of his second brother's abdication from the throne of crown prince, the eldest brother made outrageous remarks and submitted a memorial to the emperor asking him to execute his second brother.
Finally, that time he offended the emperor, who was so angry that he locked up my brother.
After this, my brother never came out again.
He once went to see his eldest brother, who was poor and drinking, laughing wildly.
However, late that night, tears began to flow as he laughed.
He said, "Thirteen, why doesn't Qiao'er come and scold me?
She has a bad temper. She doesn't like me being arrogant, gambling, or having other women.
I've been trying for so many years, why doesn't she come...
Thirteen, tell me, is she angry with me..."
The Prince of Zhi tore his hair like a madman: "Yes, he must be angry. Angry that I didn't take good care of her, angry that I forced her to have five children and ignored her health, angry that I couldn't even keep my title."
"I should have known not to have a child. Why should I have a child? It doesn't matter if there is no heir. It doesn't matter..."
Thirteen, looking at the crying child and his older brother, suddenly realized that his brother had never gotten over his sister-in-law's death. Perhaps... he would never get over it.
Thinking of how his eldest brother and fourth brother had just sat together and had a good meal, Thirteen couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
"Brother Thirteen, I'm talking to you. What are you thinking about?" Fourteen stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the Thirteenth Master.
Thirteen came back to his senses: "Ah? What did you say?"
Fourteen said, "Little Sister-in-law Four asked what you wanted to send back?"
Thirteen smiled and said, "Does Sister-in-law Si have any candies? Mother loves sweets the most."
Wen Jiu only smiled and nodded: "Of course there are some. I will pack some for Master Thirteen later."
Thirteenth Master couldn't help but think of his mother. In his previous life, his mother was in poor health and passed away early, so much so that he couldn't even remember his mother's face.
Now that he has been reborn, apart from his fourth brother's affairs, he wants to spend time with his mother whenever he has free time.
After the matter with Fourth Brother is over, he will find Hongguo. Then, he will take Hongguo with him to be with his mother all day to show filial piety.
"Little Fourth Sister, I want some candy too. I don't know what Sixth Sister's favorite is, but if it's candy, she should like it too, right?"
As Fourteen spoke, he took out the cards specially made for warming wine and said, "Let's play for a while. It's been a while since I played cards."
Thirteen nodded. Just being with Little Fourteen was enough. Playing cards was even better; this one was quite interesting.
When going out, Wenjiu brought a poker with him specifically so he could use it when he was bored. Now both masters have learned how to play it.
A few of them were playing cards and chatting at the same time.
"By the way, the Emperor's birthday is coming up in a few days. Thirteenth Brother, have you decided what gift to give him?"
The Thirteenth Master shook his head. "I haven't thought about it yet. The Emperor said that extravagance is not allowed this time. It depends on the thought. That means I can't buy anything expensive. I really don't know what to give."
After being reborn, Thirteen still didn't know what to give to his royal father.
If I remember correctly, there were very few gifts that made the emperor happy.
Fourteenth grabbed a handful of hair, threw another card out, and said, "Before, I could just buy something that looked decent, but now, the Emperor doesn't want expensive gifts. Now I really don't know what to give him."
As he spoke, the Fourteenth Master shifted his gaze to Wen Jiu and simply asked, "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, what does Fourth Brother want to send? Did he mention it?"
After hearing this, the Thirteenth Master looked over curiously.
Speaking of it, the fourth brother is the worst at preparing gifts. Most of the gifts he gives to the emperor are calligraphy and paintings, which are nothing special.
It was only later that the Thirteenth Master found out that the Emperor actually didn't like receiving calligraphy and paintings.
After hearing what the two of them said, Wen Jiu suddenly realized: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that the Wanshou Festival is coming. The Fourth Master didn't mention it."
"Little Fourth Sister-in-law, if I asked you to prepare a birthday gift, what would you prepare?"
Wenjiu: "Lian Dui, do you want it?"
Wenjiu played a hand of cards and looked at the other two excitedly.
The Thirteenth and Fourteenth Masters shook their heads for a moment. Wenjiu threw out the last card in his hand and clapped his hands: "Haha, I win."
"Oh no, I lost again." Fourteen sighed and said, "You haven't told me what you want to give me yet?"
Wen Jiu shuffled the cards and said, "If it were me, I would give you a cake, a birthday cake."
"Birthday cake, what is that?" Fourteen couldn't help but ask.
