Chapter 51: Fake Daughter, Really Sickly (Thirty-Five)
Hearing the noise, Han Yan did not look up.
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.
When the heir whom he had carefully cultivated for more than ten years died, he felt half heartbroken as well.
He really doesn't have the energy to pay attention to other people right now.
The person who came was Han Ding, whom he had never taken seriously. Even if someone came from the palace, he would still be like this! Han Yan ignored Han Ding, and Han Ding didn't feel anything.
He walked straight to the coffin.
The coffin had not been closed yet, and the open mouth revealed a familiar yet unfamiliar corpse.
Familiar, because the figure and clothes look familiar.
The reason why it looks strange is that the face has already become a mess and the facial features cannot be recognized at all.
Yes, the way Han Nai fell off his horse was somewhat unique—his head landed on the ground! His neck was broken instantly, and his face was dragged on the ground for a long time.
The rough road surface had worn away his facial features, leaving a pool of blood all over his face, completely ruining his appearance.
Before the Han family's soldiers brought Han Nai's body back, they had already asked a doctor to wipe and repair it carefully.
But, the effect is not great.
At most, the blood stains were wiped off, but the face still looked rotten.
When Feng and Yu Lian saw Han Nai's body, they were both frightened to death.
Yu Lian even had a miscarriage on the spot.
This is just like a widow who lost her only son and has completely lost hope.
You know, Feng only gave birth to two daughters for Han Nai.
In the northern border, there is a "bastard".
However, Han Nai was a bastard's son, and only if he was alive would he have a chance to obtain the Han family's title and military power.
If he died, there might still be a slight chance for his legitimate son.
But as for being a "bastard", don't even think about it!
It was precisely because of these thoughts that Han Yan felt so desperate.
When Mrs. Wei saw how lively the West Courtyard was, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
She was afraid that she would laugh in the mourning hall and anger the "trapped beast" Han Yan, so she pretended to be sick and hid in her room to laugh secretly.
As for Gu Qingcheng, there was no need to pretend. The smell of medicine in her yard never ceased.
After a whole day of hard work, Han Ding was the only one in the Han family who was able to "keep vigil" for his brother.
"Father, I heard that my eldest brother died in a fall from a horse?"
Han Ding placed one hand on the coffin, his gloomy eyes flashing with madness.
Han Yan remained motionless, not even glancing at him.
However, the hands he placed on his legs were tightening so hard that veins appeared on the back of his hands.
What does Erlang, the rebellious son, mean by saying this? Does he think that if Dalang dies, he will have a chance? You are dreaming!
I'm not dead yet.
Han Nai's death did deal a heavy blow to Han Yan.
But it's not completely hopeless.
He also has several illegitimate children in the northern border.
Their situations were similar to Han Nai's—their biological mothers were daughters of local nobles in the northern border.
It’s just that those illegitimate children are still young and their identities are not public.
But it doesn’t matter.
He had already had plans to "do something big", it was just a matter of time.
As soon as his great plan is accomplished, he will make whoever he wants his successor.
If those illegitimate children don’t work, then have a few more.
He is not old yet, he can still have children.
As for Han Ding, Han Yan had never considered him.
Firstly, Han Ding was a pawn he used to confuse the court.
If he wanted to accomplish his great ambitions, he must have hostages in the capital.
Wei and her two children are the best candidates.
Han Yan had this idea from the very beginning.
Therefore, he did not have any feelings for Queen Han and Han Ding, the brother and sister.
If you don't pay attention and have no feelings, you won't feel sad when you make sacrifices in the future.
Secondly, Han Ding is indeed useless.
As the eldest son of a military family, he is not only incapable of practicing martial arts, but also as soft-hearted as a woman.
He is weak and kind-hearted, and looks like a coward who is easy to bully.
If Han Yan didn't have a use for Han Ding, he wouldn't want to have a son who would embarrass him and bring shame to the Han family.
Thirdly, Han Yan took his anger out on others!
Queen Han's self-assertion disrupted Han Yan's plan.
This put him in a very passive and embarrassing situation.
Originally, Han Yan still had the opportunity to hesitate whether to rebel.
But thanks to Queen Han, Han Yan lost his hereditary title of Marquis of Zhenbei. He did not want to be a ridiculed Duke of Cheng'en, so he had to rebel.
Unfortunately, Queen Han had already entered the palace, so even if Han Yan wanted to strangle her to death, he had no idea where to start.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Han Ding was Queen Han's half-brother, so Han Yan naturally took his anger out on her.
...For many reasons, Han Yan disliked Han Ding more than he liked him.
He didn't want Han Ding to inherit the Han family army at all!
"Tsk! You're so useless. You can even fall off a horse while riding. How can you be a Han family man at all?"
Han Yan ignored Han Ding, and Han Ding didn't care either. He muttered to himself.
Han Yan suddenly raised his head and glared at Han Ding fiercely with his scarlet eyes.
This bastard, does he know what "the dead are the greatest" means? Dalang is dead, and as his biological brother, Han Ding doesn't say he is sad and in pain, but he is still beside the coffin, making sarcastic remarks to Dalang's corpse? He, he——
etc!
Han Yan suddenly found that Han Ding in front of him looked very unfamiliar to him.
Hasn't Han Ding always been friendly to his siblings and respectful to his elder brother?
For the sake of his elder brother, he was willing to take the blame for Han Nai at the cost of his reputation, and was foolishly used by Han Nai.
wrong!
Han Yan's brain was particularly bright at this moment.
He suddenly remembered that when Dalang was tied up that day, he shouted loudly that he was innocent.
It’s just that Han Ding’s image of being weak and kind is too deeply rooted in people’s minds. Even Han Yan, his biological father who doesn’t like his second son and favors his eldest son, believes in Han Ding more.
Seeing that no one believed him, Han Nai stopped explaining.
Could it be that Dalang didn't lie? Was it all this little bastard's fault? He might be really weak, but he might not be honest.
How could a truly kind and good brother mock his brother's corpse? !
OK!
What a good Han Ding, he actually deceived him and his whole family! Han Ding even harmed Dalang.
Why did Han Nai fall off his horse? Wasn't it because he was injured when the horse was startled and had difficulty moving? If Han Nai was not injured, with his horsemanship, even if the horse was startled, the most serious injury would be a fall.
He wouldn't die at all, let alone die so tragically.
Han Ding seemed not to notice Han Yan's "sudden enlightenment" expression. He continued, "Father, does what I said sound familiar to you?"
Han Yan continued to look indifferent.
What sounds familiar? He is not even familiar with Han Ding's son! "You really don't remember it! But I remember it! That was when I was three years old, and my grandfather was still alive."
Han Ding looked reminiscing as he slowly said, "My grandfather gave me a puppy. I like it very much and take care of it myself every day."
It’s that little dog, with big, round eyes, always looking at me with a focused look.
It was as if he was its only one, its whole world.
"Han Nai was jealous of me, and couldn't stand the fact that I was favored by my grandfather, so he deliberately went to tell you that I was obsessed with cats and dogs and pets, and that I didn't have the courage and spirit of a Han family man."
When he said this, a scarlet color appeared in Han Ding's eyes.
However, his voice was very gentle, "You, my good father, actually think that what my elder brother said makes sense."
"In order to strengthen my courage and make me less soft-hearted, please let me kill the puppy with my own hands."
Han Ding is not afraid of killing, but he doesn't like being forced.
I don't want to kill my favorite pet.
In the eyes of the credulous Han Yan, his refusal showed weakness, cowardice, and lack of manliness!
Han Yan had originally just said it casually, but seeing that Han Ding was so disappointing, he became serious and insisted on forcing Han Ding to take action.
Han Nai had seen enough of the excitement, so he stood up hypocritically, speaking in a tone that was quite loving of an elder brother, "Father, my brother is still young, let me help him!"
In front of the three-year-old Han Ding, Han Nai seemed excited and chopped the puppy several times, killing it alive.
