Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 665 - I Wish I Could Neglect

Huo Jin arrived at the residence in the early evening when he encountered Yin Na's personal attendant. "Huo Jin, did you see Miss Yin Na?" She asked him anxiously.

"No. I just returned. She might be with General Wang," Huo Jin answered.

"General Wang is not in the house. The gatekeeper said that Miss Yin Na went out. She was looking for you," she informed him.

"I will look for her. Don't worry," Huo Jin assured her. "May I know when she goes out?" He asked her. She replied to him and then, Huo Jin walked out of the house. He asked the gatekeeper about Yin Na, who told her about the direction which she took earlier. He asked the guard to bring a horse for him, who soon brought the horse.

Huo Jin hopped on the horse and followed the same path on which Yin Na had left.

"Why did she go out alone?" He murmured and pulled the reins. The horse started to run at its highest speed.

"Drop that sword, Zhou Xuweng!" A voice roared in the air. The next second a pebble hit his hand and he immediately lowered his hand which was carrying the sword. He looked ahead and found Lei Wanxi in front of him.

Lei Wanxi had a slingshot in his hand. "Leave your filthy grip from her," Lei Wanxi said with a stern expression. The two men, who were with Zhou Xuweng also stopped seeing the Sixth Prince.

Zhou Xuweng let go of Yin Na's hair and stepped back. "It is not what you are thinking, Your Highness," Zhou Xuweng stated. Lei Wanxi walked to them, putting the slingshot inside the sash, and stood in front of Yin Na.

Lei Wanxi threw away the hat that Zhou Xuweng was wearing and gripped the fistful of his hair. He screamed in pain and apologized to Lei Wanxi.

"Shut your mouth. How dare you molest a woman openly?" Lei Wanxi shouted at him. The two men took the chance and ran away from there.

Lei Wanxi pushed him onto the ground and then said, "You are coming with me to the Palace." He turned to Yin Na and found how terrified she was. He looked at her hair and extended his hand out. Yin Na stepped back and shook her head.

"Everything is fine," Lei Wanxi told her softly. He took a step towards her and caressed her hair. He stroked them and then took out the handkerchief from inside his sleeve. He wiped the tears from Yin Na's face and put his hand down.

Huo Jin, who was on the horse saw the two men coming out of the path which led to abandoned houses. He stopped the horse and it neighed. He found that those two were the same men that he saw with Zhou Xuweng. He found it odd that the two were terrified as if they saw something which they should not have.

He went to them on his horse and blocked their way. "Why are you coming from that way?" Huo Jin asked them. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Noᴠel Fɪre.net

The two men recognized him and tried to run away when Huo Jin threatened them. The few noblemen, who were returning to their respective homes, saw them. The two men did not want to grab unwanted attention, so quickly told Huo Jin about Zhou Xuweng.

They got on their respective knees. "Forgive us, Master. We did not want to do that. We did not do anything to the sister of General Wang. We did what we were ordered to. Please forgive us." They both pleaded for forgiveness.

Huo Jin was confused when he heard them. But their talks made him realize that something was done to Yin Na.

"Where is Yin Na?" He asked them.

"She is ahead on this route," one of them replied. Huo Jin swiftly turned on that route on his horse.

Huo Jin soon saw Yin Na and Prince Lei Wanxi. He stopped the horse and got down from it. "Yin Na!" He called her name and ran to her. His eyes fell on Zhou Xuweng, who was on his knees and had lowered his head.

"Huo Jin, it's great that you come here. You shall take Sister Yin Na home," Lei Wanxi replied.

Huo Jin saw the dilapidated state of Yin Na. Her hair was a complete mess and the marks of tears were visible on her cheeks. He quickly took off his overcoat and put it around Yin Na, who was trembling in fear.

Huo Jin glared at Zhou Xuweng. He wanted to kill him right away, but at this moment, Yin Na was not in the right state. So, he thought of taking her back to the residence first.

"Huo Jin, I will see you tomorrow," Lei Wanxi asserted and turned towards Zhou Xuweng. "Follow me," he told him.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I will never do this," Zhou Xuweng promised him and bowed before him. Lei Wanxi hit his head using the fan in his hand.

"Zhou Xuweng, I wish I could neglect what you did to Sister Yin Na. Brother Sheng is waiting for me in the Palace. Don't make him wait for too long. He will punish you more, so it's better to silently follow me," Lei Wanxi advised him.

Zhou Xuweng looked at Yin Na. "Please forgive me. Tell the Prince that was nothing," He requested to Yin Na when Huo Jin stood in front of her.

"Do not speak anything with her," Huo Jin sternly told him.

"Huo Jin, it is getting late. You shall leave with Sister Yin Na. I will handle this Fourth Ranked officer," Lei Wanxi opined. Huo Jin nodded and thanked him for the help. Huo Jin put his hands around Yin Na and took her towards the horse.

He helped her get on the horse and then hopped on it. He placed his hand securely around her waist and with the other held the reins on the horse. The horse started to move and they left for the Wang Residence.

Lei Wanxi smiled as he saw them leaving.. He then left with Zhou Xuweng for the Palace.
