Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1339: Untying and Funeral
The Second Prince's Mansion.

Upon hearing that the marriage was finalized, Chu Chengyao paced and pondered for a long time before he figured out why the prince suddenly wanted to marry the third brother's aunt's sister, and why his father agreed.

I'm afraid the prince also knew about the Han family's private seizure of military equipment, so he took a tactic of retreating to advance. On the surface, it seemed that he wanted to repair the brotherly relationship with the third brother.

In fact, she had figured out the emperor's intention and realized that his father did not want to touch the Han family at this time, so she pretended to be ignorant of the matter and submitted a petition to ask for the marriage.

The reason why the emperor agreed so readily was that on the surface it seemed that he valued the Han family, but in fact, he probably had the intention of dividing the third brother and the Han family.

If this is true, then the emperor's concern and vigilance towards the Han family because of the military equipment must be deep in his bones. Otherwise, he would not have issued an order to grant the marriage so quickly, nor would he have thought of a way to keep Han Qi to contain Han Yaohui.

It seems that once Yeliang is pacified, there will be no need for him to take action, and the Han family will end up being abandoned after the cunning rabbit dies.

This time, the Crown Prince not only gave his father a perfect excuse to keep him, but also earned a reputation for being magnanimous. When the Han family is dealt with in the future, the Crown Prince will kill his relatives for the sake of justice and put the hat of treason on the Third Brother's head...

Not only did he get rid of the third brother without getting his hands dirty, he also complied with his father's wishes in every way. It was really a good plan.

The prince couldn't have come up with such a clever idea, it must have been planned by Qin Zongliang...

Just as he thought of this, Zhong Yi hurried inside to report:
"Your Highness, something happened at the Hong'an Marquis's residence."

After the wife of Marquis Hong'an was buried, Marquis Hong'an naturally could not keep Zhu Dianhua tied up anymore, so he personally untied his son. After trying to persuade him for a long time, he did not get any response.

At this point, Uncle Hong'an could only comfort himself: It's enough as long as he doesn't make a fuss.

Seeing his son in mourning, who had lost weight in just two days and looked gloomy and numb, Earl Hong An felt bad. For half a day, Zhu Dianhua followed the funeral ceremony without saying a word. After his mother was properly buried, Zhu Dianhua kowtowed repeatedly in front of the tombstone, his forehead bruised.

Uncle Hongan felt distressed when he saw this and went forward to help his son up, but he was pushed away by his son.

Zhu Dianhua climbed up from the grave and glared at his biological father fiercely. There was a gloomy madness in his eyes, like gunpowder beside a fire, which made Earl Hong'an tremble with fear.

Without waiting for Earl Hong'an to speak again, Zhu Dianhua turned around and walked away with staggering steps, walking faster and faster in the direction of the city.

Earl Hong'an covered his panicked chest and quickly ordered his servants to chase after Zhu Dianhua and bring him back to the mansion.

Zhu Dianhua was the master and had a bad reputation, so when the servants caught up with him they just tried to stop him and did not dare to use force.

In a rage, Zhu Dianhua snatched the sword from the waist of a guard and chopped down two people with the sword. No one dared to step forward to stop him. They could only send one person back to report to Earl Hong'an, and the rest followed Zhu Dianhua from a distance.

This time, he followed them all the way to the Dali Temple. Seeing Zhu Dianhua beating the drum to report crimes, he knew that something was wrong. He was no longer afraid and rushed forward to grab it.

Zhu Dianhua had never practiced martial arts, and he swung his sword randomly relying on brute force. Naturally, he was defeated when the guards did not dare to use force. But now that he started fighting seriously, he snatched the sword away in a few moves.

The guard said "I'm sorry", covered Zhu Dianhua's mouth while he was shouting, and was about to take him away, but the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple heard the noise and came to stop him.

The guard knew what was going on in the mansion, and also understood that his own prince's visit would definitely harm Earl Hong'an, so he immediately revealed his identity and wanted to forcibly take Zhu Dianhua away.
