Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 694 - The Loyal Friend



Huo Jin walked on the carpet with his shoes on and stopped Xu Wenhai by standing in front of him.

"You should not get on this clean carpet with your shoes on," Xu Wenhai reminded him of his previous words and pushed him. Huo Jin snickered but then he stopped himself.

'Why am I even arguing with him?' Huo Jin thought and let him do whatever he wanted to. He got busy with other work while Xu Wenhai checked the main hall thoroughly. He was amused to find that Huo Jin did not follow him.

He came out and found Huo Jin was smiling with the servants. "Is he a slacker? If he would be living at my house, I would not have let it slide easily," Xu Wenhai muttered.

"But he is good to the servants," a voice fell into his ear.

"I heard he was the loyal servant of Tan Gengxin," Xu Wenhai stated.

"He is now the loyal friend of my dear Fifth Brother, Brother Sheng."

Xu Wenhai tilted his head and was startled to see Lei Wanxi. "Sixth Prince," he mumbled and immediately bowed before him. Lei Wanxi smiled and opened the fan in front of him with a flapping sound. He started to move it gently near the left side of his face.

"Minister Xu, I did not know that you were jealous of such a good person," Lei Wanxi said while gazing towards Huo Jin.

"Why would I get jealous of a man who does not have a worth?" Xu Wenhai chuckled and lifted his head. Xu Wenhai arched his brow as those words seemed wrong to him.

"Indeed, Huo Jin's worth is slightly higher than all of us. He saved all of us from the evil scheming of Tan Gengxin. Despite being a servant, he learned many things on his own which most of us learned after spending such a huge amount of money. He is the same Huo Jin, who without caring for his life, protected the current Emperor of the Han," Lei Wanxi praised the works of Huo Jin.

Xu Wenhai realized that he did wrong by raising the finger on Huo Jin's past. However, he could not either deny the fact that Huo Jin was a traitor once. In his eyes, he was a culprit but because of the Emperor's kind favors, he escaped even death.

"May I ask what the Sixth Prince is doing here?" Xu Wenhai asked humbly.

"I have come to meet General Wang and Huo Jin. But I found that General Wang had left for the Palace. But I wonder what is the work of Minister Xu here," Lei Wanxi said with a curious expression.

"I am soon marrying the younger sister of General Wang," Xu Wenhai said with a bright smile.

Lei Wanxi immediately closed the fan in his hand. "Really?"

"Yes, Prince Wanxi," Xu Wenhai confirmed.

Lei Wanxi looked in the direction of Huo Jin. 'Did I get late? How could he not follow the advice of Brother Nianzu?' Lei Wanxi thought.

Huo Jin patted the shoulder of the servant as he understood the work. He turned back and was shocked to see Lei Wanxi in the Residence. He had never visited this place before. Huo Jin came towards him and bowed before him.

"Prince Wanxi, it is pleasant to see you here," Huo Jin said. "Prince Wanxi never came to the residence. Does he want something?" He asked him.

A servant brought the chair for Lei Wanxi. "Please have a seat," Huo Jin said. "I will inform my father about your presence."

He turned to leave when Lei Wanxi stopped him. "Do not disturb the Former General. Also, I am scared of him," he stated.

Huo Jin and Xu Wenhai were confused to hear that.

"He was such a strict teacher. I used to run away from his classes. Luckily, he mostly was in wars, so I skipped his punishments," Lei Wanxi recalled the days when he was forced to learn self-defense and warfare. He trembled in fear as chills ran down his spine.

Huo Jin smiled and asked him if he would take water, but Lei Wanxi refused. Xu Wenhai found out that the Princes liked Huo Jin and it bothered him because, in his eyes, there was nothing good in him.

"I want to meet Sister Yin Na. Bring her here," Lei Wanxi requested Huo Jin.

Huo Jin was slightly hesitant to even go near Yin Na. But he did not let it get shown on his face. "Please follow me to the Guest chamber," Huo Jin humbly told Lei Wanxi, who shook his head.

"This place is more lively. Bring Sister Yin Na here. Till she arrives, I will converse with Minister Xu," Lei Wanxi stated and glanced at Xu Wenhai, who passed a tiny smile to the Prince.

Huo Jin left to bring Yin Na.

"Does Minister Xu know how to move a fan?" Lei Wanxi asked him.

"Yes."

Lei Wanxi quickly forwarded his fan towards him and said, "Please move it for me." Xu Wenhai took the fan from the Sixth Prince and started to move it near his face.

"Minister Xu, why do you want to marry Sister Yin Na?" He asked and clasped his fingers.

"I like her. Father had told me about her and even about her past. Then, we had a conversation and I felt that she's the one for me, Your Highness," Xu Wenhai replied.

"Don't mind me, Minister Xu, but is it because she's the sister of the General of the Han Empire?" He was skeptical of Xu Wenhai since he agreed too early.

"If I say to His Highness that I fell for Yin Na when my mother and father described her traits, then will he believe me?" Xu Wenhai's question bewildered Lei Wanxi.

"That's so wonderful," he said.

"His Highness knows me, and yet he's judging me. It hurt me a little," Xu Wenhai said straightforwardly.

"That's because Minister Xu did not stop the increased sales of women in the Brothel Houses.. Brother Sheng has given him the task, but I wonder what is stopping him from working expeditiously," Lei Wanxi remarked and took the fan from him.
