After Yinzhen finished beating her, he realized what he had done. A trace of confusion flashed across his face, and then he looked at Concubine De, who was terrified.
"Mother, you..."
Didn't you faint?
De Fei's expression instantly turned into anger.
"Apologize to your fourth brother!"
"I won't! He's mad at me, shouldn't he be beaten?"
Yinzhi retorted with a frown, tilting his head back and glaring at Yinzhen, as if he wanted to throw another punch.
Seeing this, Yinzhen sneered in his heart.
Fourteen is his biological brother, but every time he sees him, he feels like he is seeing an enemy. He has tried to ease the relationship between them, but Fourteen has always ignored his goodwill.
He now understood that some people's hearts could not be warmed, and he no longer wanted to ease up.
While observing Yinzhen's expression, Concubine De scolded Fourteenth Prince harshly.
"He's your brother. No matter what happened, it's not a reason for you to hit him. Hurry, apologize to your fourth brother!"
"No need."
Yinzhen let out a light breath. He was too lazy to watch this clumsy trick anymore.
"The affairs of the Wuya family are not something I can interfere with. You should seek help from someone else. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Yinzhen straightened up, not even bothering to glance at Fourteenth, and was about to walk out.
When he heard the words "Wu Ya family", a trace of confusion flashed in Fourteen's eyes.
He had heard about what happened at his maternal grandparents' house early in the morning, but when he came to see his mother yesterday to ask about the situation, his mother clearly said that everything had been resolved.
What does the fourth brother mean by this?
Before Fourteen had time to think about it, he heard a loud shout—
"stop!"
De Fei stood up angrily.
"You crawled out of my belly. Now the Wuya family is in trouble, and you turn a blind eye. Aren't you afraid that people will call you cold-blooded?"
"If you're angry with Fourteen for fighting you, I'll apologize to you on his behalf!"
Yinzhen turned around suddenly and stared straight at Defei's angry face.
"Didn't you orchestrate my cold-bloodedness?!"
The anger on Concubine De's face froze.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Fourteenth was instantly furious, and rushed forward to throw punches regardless of anything. This time Yinzhen did not tolerate him anymore, and restrained him with a grab, looking at Defei with a face full of sarcasm.
"Isn't it you who caused the relationship between Fourteen and me to become so bad? You've never treated me as your own son. You only gave me a look when you asked for something. You think I should be grateful and allow you to do whatever you want. After all, you gave birth to me..."
The strength of Fourteen's struggle gradually dissipated.
Defei stared at Yinzhen blankly, feeling a little at a loss at the moment.
"Take this incident for example. You knew very well that the Uya family's crimes would not be easily covered up. If the Emperor showed no mercy, it's not impossible that the family would be confiscated and the entire clan exterminated. You went to the Qing Palace to plead for mercy but it didn't work, so you set your sights on me. You subconsciously ignored the fact that Fourteenth was more favored by the Emperor than I was. After all..."
"He's a treasure you hold in your hand, afraid of dropping it, and in your mouth, afraid of melting it. But I'm just a tool to you."
After Yinzhen finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Fourteen was so confused that he couldn't help but look at Concubine De's face.
Seeing her extremely unhappy face, even her eyes were full of resentment,
"What precious tool? You crawled out of my belly. I gave you a life. Now I just want you to help the Wuya family. If you don't want to help, then forget it. But you say such words to hurt my heart. You are indeed an unfilial person!"
"laugh."
When Yinzhen heard this, he suddenly laughed.
"Did I beg you to spare my life?"
When these words were spoken, everyone's eyes widened, including Fourteenth Prince who was restrained by Yinzhen.
Yinzhen let go of Fourteen with a dull mood.
"Some things are too hard to hear, De'er Niang."
He spoke the last part of the address word by word, and after hearing it, Concubine De's face was so ugly that it could not be described.
The four words "ferocious and terrifying" perfectly describe her current expression. When Fourteen saw it, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
