To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 297 Escape

  Wang Shaoqing's mansion was full of joy, but a storm suddenly came to An Guogong's mansion.

   "Beast, tell me clearly, where is your second sister?" An Guogong held a whip and beat Zhu Erlang one by one.

  Zhu Erlang knelt on the ground, the filial piety clothes on his body were torn, and he shouted while hiding: "My son doesn't know!"

   July 49th will soon be over. Once the mother finishes the funeral, it will be time for the father to deal with the second sister. At that time, it will be difficult to help the second sister escape.

  Second Sister is right, if you want to escape the Duke’s Mansion, it’s best to take advantage of the hustle and bustle in the mansion.

"I don't know?" An Guogong stared at his second son with a livid face, "The old lady Zhang who guards your second sister has already explained that you have been there secretly three times these days. The shadow of your second sister is gone. It wasn't you who helped her escape, but who was it?"

   "How does my son know, maybe the second sister is relying on herself—"

  An Guogong kicked over: "Nie Zi, you are still dead! Are you the same as your second sister, and you must ruin the Duke's mansion to be satisfied?"

Zhu Erlang was kicked so hard that he swayed, but this time he didn't intend to avoid it, but stared straight at An Guogong and asked, "Father, what did the second sister do to be locked up? How did she ruin the Duke's family?" ?”

   There is a sentence that he refrained from shouting out: Isn’t it the father who killed the mother?

  An Guogong's expression twisted for a while, and his clenched fists creaked.

  Different from the eldest son who can already share the burden of troubles, in his heart the second son has always been a child who is not motivated and sensible, and never intends to tell the truth to the second son.

  With the recklessness of the second son, knowing too much will only cause trouble.

   Never expected that this wicked son would let his sister go while the Duke's mansion was in a hurry to attend the funeral.

   "You complained about your sister, so you secretly let her go?"

  Zhu Erlang froze for a moment, still stubborn: "I don't, I don't know anything!"

   "Okay, okay." An Guogong pointed at Zhu Erlang, furious, "I will kill you, a **** who doesn't know anything, today."

  The whip fell, and the skin was ripped apart.

   This time it was really cruel.

   The piercing pain hit, Zhu Erlang blurted out: "Father killed me, anyway, mother was also killed by you—"

   "Second brother!" Anguo Gong's son who came to persuade the fight yelled, and grabbed Zhu Erlang's wrist, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhu Erlang shook off An Guogong's son and sneered: "Am I wrong? The second sister was imprisoned only after seeing her father kill her mother. After her mother's funeral, maybe the second sister will follow in her mother's footsteps." —”

   "Evil!" An Guogong was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke.

  An Guogong's son looked at An Guogong: "Father, let's tell the truth to the second brother."

  Second brother had such a misunderstanding, if I don't make it clear, I'm afraid there will be disasters waiting.

  An Guogong remained silent with a sullen face.

  An Guogong's son knew that this was agreed, and said coldly: "Second brother, get up, I will tell you clearly."

  Zhu Erlang got up and wiped the corner of his mouth vigorously: "Say it!"

  When Anguo Gongshizi finished speaking, Zhu Erlang was dumbfounded, and murmured: "Second sister instigated people to kill? Brother, are you really talking about second sister?"

The prince of An Guogong shook his head: "If it wasn't like this, why did father get so angry? The second sister is also my younger sister, and I love her no less than you. It is because she made a big mistake this time that my father forbids her to see others. After my mother's funeral, I will detain her at home to worship the Buddha..."

  Zhu Erlang shrank his eyes: "Didn't father want to silence the second sister?"

  An Guogong's son had blue veins on his forehead, and his face turned black: "Second brother, what are you thinking? Father will not kill the second sister even if he is angry again. He was so angry that he taught the second sister that day."

  Zhu Erlang opened his mouth and stopped talking.

   "Second brother, you already know the truth, now should you tell us where the second sister is?"

  Zhu Erlang looked confused.

   "Second brother, you still haven't said it yet, do you really want to wait for the second sister to cause even bigger troubles?"

  Zhu Erlang was finally persuaded, and said: "Second sister was placed in a private house by me—"

   "House?"

  Zhu Erlang lowered his head slightly: "I rented it secretly a few days ago, and bought a little girl to serve my second sister..."

  After arranging these things, he dared to help the second younger sister escape from the Duke's mansion. Otherwise, how would the second younger sister, a noble girl who was born in rich clothes and rich food and a lot of slaves, survive outside.

  Mr. An wanted to scold again, but after hearing Zhu Erlang's arrangement, he didn't curse.

  Although this villain is impulsive and reckless, his friendship with his sister is worthy of recognition.

  Of course, I am still angry, and I will discipline this **** strictly after the wicked girl is found.

  As for Zhu Hanshuang, An Guogong had no intention of disciplining him. He just waited for him to be found and then sent him back to the family nunnery in his hometown, and he was not allowed to see outsiders from then on.

   "Dalang, together with Erlang, bring your second sister back immediately."

  The prince of An Guogong agreed, and asked Zhu Erlang to lead the way to the private house.

   "Second sister is here?" Looking at the concealed courtyard gate, Prince An was inexplicably uneasy.

  Zhu Erlang didn't think much, seeing that the courtyard door was unlocked, he pushed the door open and entered.

  The yard is not big, there is only a bare pomegranate tree standing alone in the corner, and a few clothes and curtains are hung on the long clothesline.

  Zhu Erlang walked into the house with big strides, but was held down by the prince of An Guo Gong's shoulder.

  Zhu Erlang turned his head and looked at the prince of An Guogong in doubt.

  The prince of An Guogong's face turned blue, and he walked towards the clothesline step by step.

   "Brother?" Zhu Erlang became more and more puzzled.

  The prince of An Guogong walked over quickly, and lifted the curtain on the clothesline.

  The curtain is still a little wet, obviously it has only been washed today.

  And this is not the reason why Prince An Guo came here.

   Just on the other side of the curtain, there is a young girl.

  The girl lay curled up on the ground, with a painful expression frozen on her face, apparently dead for some time.

   What the Crown Prince of An Guo saw was the girl's hand stretched out from the other side of the hanging curtain.

   "She, she is the maid I bought! Second sister—" Zhu Erlang's face changed suddenly, and he rushed into the room.

  The house is empty, and there is no shadow of Zhu Hanshuang.

  Zhu Erlang ran out: "Brother, the second sister is gone, did something happen to her?"

  An Guogong's son pointed to the ground not far from the corpse, and said in a deep voice, "Second brother, let's see what that is."

   That is a pair of **** scissors.

  A gust of cold wind blew, and the few leaves that had tried their best to stay on the branches of the pomegranate tree reluctantly fell, and were swept by the wind and ran on the ground.

  An Guogong's son felt cold all over, and murmured: "Second sister didn't have an accident, but killed the maid you bought for her and escaped."

  Zhu Erlang opened his eyes wide and his lips were trembling. It took him a long time to ask, "Why did Second Sister do this?"

  The prince of An Guogong glanced at Zhu Erlang, but said nothing.

   Probably expected that the second brother would let go and bring him.

  He really underestimated this sister.

Good morning.
