617 Chang Shi and Xiwan are their names

“Forgive me, Lin Jiao. I thought if I would tell Bai Jue that you were in love with Prince Mingquan, he would not come to trouble you. I did not know he would try to do such a disgusting act with you,” Ye Xin said with tears in her eyes. The last night when her brother informed her that Bai Jue was arrested, she was shocked and even guilty because she was the reason behind it.

“Ye Xin, I know you told him all this so that he would stop troubling me. Do not blame yourself neither do you have to apologize to me,” Lin Jiao stated and opened her arms. Ye Xin hugged her tightly.

After they withdrew, Ye Xin asked Lin Jiao if Prince Mingquan would punish her too.

“No. Why would he punish you? I did not even tell His Highness what Bai Jue told me,” Lin Jiao asserted.

“Why?” Ye Xin asked.

“Because I did not seem it relevant,” Lin Jiao replied. “His Highness might have thought that I fell in love with him because we accidentally shared a kiss,” she said.

“But you love the Fourth Prince. There is nothing to hide from him. Yesterday, the Fourth Prince saved you. He is the most suitable man for you,” Ye Xin opined.

“Ye Xin, I do not know. Maybe these feelings are not that strong. For the first time, a man outside my family did such things for me. I think that is the reason my heart reacted that way. I am not ready to marry him because I know I do not love the Fourth Prince,” Lin Jiao asserted and laid on the bed.

Ye Xin did not say anything after hearing all those things.

“I asked Prince Mingquan about those two men, who were with him on that day. Don’t you want to know?” Lin Jiao asked her with a smile. “Do not be upset anymore because of Bai Jue. He will spend a good time in prison,” she said and placed her hand over Ye Xin’s hand.

“Chang Shi and Xiwan are their names,” Lin Jiao stated.

“How will I know who is the man on whom I got a crush?” Ye Xin asked.

“Prince Mingquan did not remember who was on his right that day,” Lin Jiao replied. “Why don’t we both spy and find out the man whom you like?” She suggested to Ye Xin.

“I do not want to disturb you. Your wound is still not healed,” Ye Xin said in a low voice.

“Aish! I am absolutely fine. And since we both started to think about disturbing each other?” Lin Jiao sat up on the bed and moved her skirt up. “See. Even the wound is healed. In the morning, the physician has come to check on me. He told me not to run. I can walk around,” she stated.

“But the royal physician has recommended a three-day bed rest. We will go the day after tomorrow,” Ye Xin suggested to Lin Jiao. 𝑓𝔯e𝚎𝒘𝗲𝚋𝒏oѵ𝒆𝒍. c𝗼m

“The Fourth Prince made a fool of me. My injury is very minute. He did not want me to move out of the house and came up with such a plan. He is the first one, who succeeded in holding me inside this house,” Lin Jiao muttered and snickered. “I should teach His Highness a lesson for messing with me,” she proclaimed.

Ye Xin smiled to see that side of Lin Jiao. “The Fourth Prince cares for you. That is why he came up with such a lie. He knows how to control his overly enthusiastic future wife,” Ye Xin asserted.

“Ayee. I am not his future wife,” Lin Jiao said and got down from the bed. She wore the shoes quickly and then walked out of the room with Ye Xin. No servant stopped her from going out.

“Lin Jiao, how will we find out where Chang Shi and Xiwan live? Also, will it not be weird if we check on them?” Ye Xin was a little scared.

“You are right,” Lin Jiao stopped after descending the stairs outside her residence. She placed her hands on her waist and wondered if she should go to the governor’s office to ask Mingquan about it. She shared the same idea with Ye Xin, who shook her head.

“We should not disturb the Fourth Prince. He has hundreds of work to look into,” Ye Xin advised Lin Jiao.

“We cannot search for them in the entire capital. What if we encounter your crush very late and by that time, he falls in love with someone else?” Lin Jiao arched her eyebrow.

Ye Xin hummed. “That cannot happen,” she murmured.

“That is why we should find out who was the one with whom you fell in love at the first sight,” Lin Jiao stated and they both started walking.

“But disturbing the Fourth Prince is not a good idea,” Ye Xin stated.

“Don’t worry. He will not say anything to me,” Lin Jiao said and scooped her arm around Ye Xin’s. They both went stopped at a local carriage. Lin Jiao asked the man to drive them to the governor’s office.

After twenty minutes of the ride, they were outside the government office and saw officials walking around the corridor.

Lin Jiao and Ye Xin reached the governor’s office when an officer stopped them.

“What are the two young ladies doing here?” The official asked them.

“We are here to see the Fourth Prince,” Lin Jiao replied.

The official squinted his eyes in suspicion and checked them out from top to bottom.

“Lin Jiao is betrothed to the Fourth Prince,” Ye Xin pronounced. Lin Jiao glanced at her as she had not expected her to say this. She grasped the wrist of Lin Jiao which had hand woven bracelet around it.

“The Fourth Prince has given this to Lin Jiao. This jade has the royal family’s symbol as well,” Ye Xin asserted.

Lin Jiao nodded at the official, who stepped up to check. He apologized after confirming it and let those two enter the governor’s office. Both of them thanked the official and left his sight. The official walked ahead to inform Mingquan about it.
