Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 510 - No Reason To Lie To You

The carriage stopped in front of the Wang Residence. Wang Hao stepped out of the carriage. He gave his hand to Yin Na and put her down the carriage. Lei Wanxi also stepped out of the carriage, and the three went inside the Residence.

"Yin Na, go with them. After you get ready, I will meet you," Wang Hao said and looked at the two maidservants whom he had called. They both took Yin Na away while Wang Hao and Lei Wanxi went to General Hall.

Lei Wanxi sat on the chaise while Wang Hao sat on the other one. "How does Prince Wanxi find out?" General Wang asked.

"I happened to find out. Doesn't General Wang know that I have eyes in every direction?" Lei Wanxi praised himself. General Wang smiled and asked him if he would like to take tea.

"Thank you for asking, General Wang, but I drank the tea earlier in the morning," Lei Wanxi affirmed. "General Wang should not have refused the help of Brother Sheng. He is a little sad that General Wang did not tell him everything," He informed Wang Hao.

"I did not want to worry the Crown Prince. He already has so many problems to deal with," Wang Hao stated.

"Well, General Wang is right. Brother Sheng has to keep his eyes on everything. But it does not mean that he would not have listened to General Wang's problem. Your sister Yin Na was adamant not to leave the Courtesan House. When I found out that General Wang visited the Courtesan's House, I found out everything. Then I told Brother Sheng to ask to sign an order with our father. Miss Yin thought people would look upon you with different eyes," Lei Wanxi explained to Wang Hao, who nodded his head.

"It is my mistake to not visit her after that day," Wang Hao was guilty.

"Can General Wang tell me how he found Miss Yin?" Lei Wanxi queried.

Wang Hao nodded his head. "Four years ago, we did the military campaign to the East where I happened to encounter Yin Na. She was taken away by the enemies as a slave. We rescued many women at that time. Prince Wanxi knows that my sister died at a very young age, so when Yin Na called me Brother, my heart melted, and I decided to make her my sister.

However, Yin Na said that she wants to live with her older brother. I found her older brother and sent them to Luoyang. I did not know that I have made the biggest mistake of my life. Also, I got so busy with military campaigns that I never came to see her. I have been searching for her since the day I returned to Luoyang. Then, I saw her in the Courtesan's House, and it hurt me," Wang Hao narrated to Lei Wanxi and lowered his eyes.

"Her older brother sold her off for money. He is married and is living in the capital. Thanks to the assistance that you provided him, he is a merchant," Lei Wanxi informed Wang Hao, who was shocked to hear that.

"But I could not find him," Wang Hao muttered.

"He has changed his identity," Lei Wanxi replied. "General Wang shall punish him. Even the death penalty will be less for him," Lei Wanxi stated and took out the identity card from his pocket. "I stole it from his shop," Lei Wanxi said with a grin and handed it to Wang Hao, who took it and read the name carved on it.

"Shi Kun."

"I gave the money so he could take care of Yin Na," Wang Hao tightened his grip around the identity card.

"She has served twenty men in this one year. Mostly are petty officials," Lei Wanxi gave some information to Wang Hao. "It is the men's fault to have such uncontrollable desires. Young women have to suffer because of this mostly from low classes," Lei Wanxi stated and sighed. Follow current s on (F)ire

"Is the Crown Prince free? I would like to take His Highness's advice on this matter," Wang Hao stated.

"Today, Brother Sheng is not free. Last night was a passionate one for him, so he is relaxing with his beloved wife," Lei Wanxi replied, keeping a smile on his lips.

Wang Hao smiled back upon hearing the words of Lei Wanxi. "Prince Wanxi loves to tease the Crown Prince," Wang Hao said.

"That's my birthright, General Wang. I am waiting for your marriage too. You are older than us, yet you have not married. Does your father not nag you?" Lei Wanxi asked.

"Father is not in Luoyang for four months. The day I returned, he left the capital after meeting me. Father has gone to the East to give prayers to the famous Buddhist Temple. When he returns, he will find someone for me," Wang Hao asserted.

Lei Wanxi hummed and gave his best wishes to Wang Hao.

"Xiao told me that Prince Wanxi and Princess Zhu Lin are together. So, when are you going to marry?" General Wang suddenly asked.

Lei Wanxi widened his eyes. "Together? We are not together. I mean… I am still confused. I have asked for time from her. How did General Xiao find out? Why is he spreading such rumors about me?" Lei Wanxi complained.

Wang Hao laughed for some time before speaking. "Prince Wanxi, Xiao was not spreading rumors about you. He only told me," Wang Hao clarified to Lei Wanxi.

"Hmm. I shall leave, General Wang. The Palace also needs me. Some strange things are going on in the Palace which I need to find out," Lei Wanxi stated and bowed.

"Let me see you off till the--"

Lei Wanxi stopped him from doing so. "Stay with your younger sister. I will go in the carriage," he said and left the hall.

As Lei Wanxi came out of the Residence, he saw Zhu Lin in front of the carriage. "What are you doing here?" Lei Wanxi asked and descended the stairs.

"I am here to tell General Wang that I was the one who helped you," Zhu Lin replied and crossed her arms.

"Haha!" "You did only a tiny thing for me," Lei Wanxi stated. "General Wang is a busy person. Do not disturb him," Lei Wanxi told her and grabbed her arm. He forced her inside the carriage and then told the chauffeur to start it.

A royal guard had closed the door of the carriage. Lei Wanxi sat beside Zhu Lin, who was glaring at him. "Where were you last night? I did not see you at the wedding," Lei Wanxi asked Zhu Lin.

"I was resting," Zhu Lin replied.

Lei Wanxi narrowly gazed at her. "It's odd to see you taking a rest. Are you lying?" He straightforwardly asked.

"Why would I lie to the Prince?" Zhu Lin questioned back.

"Because you consider me a fool," Lei Wanxi replied.

"I was indeed resting. You can ask the servant outside my chamber," Zhu Lin answered.

"Hmm. Good. Don't lie to me. I might stop my feelings towards you if you tried lying to me," Lei Wanxi said and tilted his head to peer at her. Zhu Lin did the same and they both gazed into each other's eyes.

"There is no reason to lie to you," Zhu Lin pronounced.
