Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

Chapter 395

395 Find one for me

Lóng Wei sat down to eat with Xiaoming and Tianjie. Xiaoming found that Lóng Wei looked upset and slightly angry. He even scolded the servant for no reason. When the food was served and everyone left the tent house, except those three, Xiaoming asked Lóng Wei why he had carried a plumpy face.

“Lóng Wei is angry because of Mo Jinhai. He said bad things about Li Hua,” Tianjie said and picked up the chopstick to eat. He started to eat while Xiaoming asked Lóng Wei to tell him what happened.

“Allow me to kill Mo Jinhai,” Lóng Wei said.

Tianjie chuckled to hear him. “Only the Crown Prince can make Lóng Wei understand why he should not kill Mo Jinhai,” he asserted.

“Brother Tianjie, tell me what happened?” Xiaoming asked him as Lóng Wei did not utter a single word. All he could see was a grim expression on his face which indeed showed that he would murder Mo Jinhai if he appear before him.

“Should I tell the Crown Prince?” Tianjie asked Lóng Wei.

“If you had not stopped me, I would not be this restless,” Lóng Wei rudely told Tianjie. He put the chopsticks down while Xiaoming reprimanded Lóng Wei for answering this way with Tianjie.

Tianjie asked Xiaoming to let it go. He then narrated to the Crown Prince what happened in the restaurant.

“I will summon Mo Jinhai here tomorrow. You cannot kill anyone when your identity was hidden from the people around you,” Xiaoming told Lóng Wei. He shifted his gaze at Tianjie and thanked him for handling Lóng Wei well.

.....

“I am not a kid,” Lóng Wei said with annoyance.

“You are!” Xiaoming and Tianjie said at the same time. “I understand that any man would be angry if someone says wrong about his wife, but we are supposed to think a hundred times before attacking the person, especially when we are on a mission. Brother Lóng Wei knows well that the informant of those enemies is hidden somewhere in the market and surrounding area. So, we have to be extremely careful. You are the Governor, so act like one,” Xiaoming made him understand.

Lóng Wei silently listened to him, but he let most of his words out of his other ear.

“Will the Crown Prince let me do whatever I want to do with Mo Jinhai?” Lóng Wei asked him.

“Unfortunately, I cannot do that. As the Crown Prince, I will intercede between you both. I do not want Brother Lóng Wei to get his hands dirty with a blood of a man, who does not even deserve that,” Xiaoming stated.

“The Crown Prince is clever. He does not want me to kill Mo Jinhai because the Governor of Qijiang will complain to our father. However, I want a punishment for him, which will be remembered by all his seven upcoming generations,” Lóng Wei stated with a stern tone.

“Sure,” Xiaoming said. “Let’s begin eating before the food gets cold.” Both of them nodded at the Crown Prince and they silently ate their meals. They remain seated at their respective places for further discussion when Xiaoming told them that he visited the borders and checked the situation there.

“Did the Crown Prince get any useful information?” Tianjie asked.

“Nothing,” Xiaoming replied. “What about you two?” he asked.

“I also found nothing suspicious,” Tianjie replied.

“I have spread a rumor among the people,” Lóng Wei informed them.

“A rumor?” Xiaoming arched his eyebrow.

“Yes. I will tell the two Prince tomorrow if I succeeded in getting the information or failed in it,” Lóng Wei stated.

“I hope whatever Brother Lóng Wei has planned, it works,” Xiaoming said with trust in him.

“I hope so,” Lóng Wei stated and wondered if the targeted person would act on his rumor or not.

Li Hua asked the maidservant in her service to sleep early. She obeyed Li Hua and left for her room in the manor. Li Hua went out of the chamber to get the fresh air when she heard the footsteps. She tilted her head and saw Feng Lao behind her.

“You should sleep,” Li Hua said and turned to walk ahead.

“How can I sleep when you are awake?” Feng Lao said and followed her.

“I got the message from the Queen,” Li Hua told Feng Lao. “I will discuss it with General Hei and Senior Brother Xiwan tomorrow,” she stated.

“So, you are ready to take the risk,” Feng Lao said and they reached the pond which was situated in the manor. Li Hua halted in her steps while Feng Lao stopped to the left of her, but half a meter distance behind her.

“Feng Lao, it is important,” Li Hua stated.

“What if anything happens?” Feng Lao asked with a concerned look. “I have no one left except you and Xu Zifan,” he asserted. “Do not take my words wrongly,” he added.

“I did not,” Li Hua replied. “Feng Lao, I want to tell you something which my father hid from me all his life. He also hid this fact from everyone around him. Only my mother was aware of it,” she stated.

“What was it?” Feng Lao asked.

Li Hua turned to face him. “I was never made for you. Monk Yuze has come to Xinshui after my birth and he told my father that I would marry Prince Lóng Wei. I know you might not believe it, but the personal diary of my father also says it. We both were never made for each other. Feng Lao, I know you still hold feelings for me. I feel terrible about this,” Li Hua asserted.

“Li Hua, I am happy to watch you from afar,” Feng Lao stated.

“You should not be,” Li Hua stated. “You have to move on. You fool everyone around you, but your acts show everything.”

“I truly wish to be near you,” Feng Lao said. “However, I also know that you can never be mine. I am well aware of this,” he admitted the truth finally that his feelings for her were still present.

“I want you to look for a good woman for yourself,” Li Hua said.

“Find one for me,” Feng Lao said with a smile. “Do you think that a woman can end these feelings?” he asked.

“Yes,” Li Hua turned her back to him and looked at the pond. The lanterns hanging around the lake illuminated the surface of the water.

“I found from the maidservant there is a match-making agency in the capital. I will go there tomorrow to find suitable matches for my brother and you,” Li Hua informed him.

“Xu Zifan will not like it,” Feng Lao told her, “neither will I.”

“I will never talk to both of you if you refuse to see women,” Li Hua warned him and again turned to look at him. “I have told you earlier too, I want you both to settle in your lives. The Past hurts, but it is in our hands to make the future beautiful. I want the same for both of you,” she said and smiled at him.

Feng Lao did not stop her anymore. He wanted to do what Li Hua felt was good for him.
