Nianzu brought the zither from his music room and tied it around his back. "Let's go, Miss Huan," Nianzu stated, passing a tiny smile to her when Lei Wanxi came in front of them. He saw Zhu Lin was standing close to his Fourth Brother, so he brought his fan forward, pushed Zhu Lin away from it.
Nianzu amusingly looked at the Sixth Prince. "What are you doing?" Nianzu queried him.
"I am coming with you, Brother Nianzu," Lei Wanxi affirmed and put his arm around him and dragged him forward. Zhu Lin chuckled upon seeing the childish behavior of the Sixth Prince. She went behind them and came to the left of Nianzu. Lei Wanxi glared at her and dragged Nianzu a little right. Nianzu was confused thinking why Lei Wanxi acted that way.
Soon they reached the Fu Imperial Gates when Zhu Lin said, "I think we shall go from the Horse Cart."
"Why? Can't you walk?" Lei Wanxi scoffed. "You were calling me weak, but cannot even walk. This is so saddening," Lei Wanxi proclaimed.
"These questions are coming from the one, who is weakest among all the people I have ever encountered," Zhu Lin remarked, which infuriated Lei Wanxi. He pushed Nianzu aside and came to her front.
"Look, don't make me hate women!" Lei Wanxi pointed his finger at her. Nianzu confusedly looked at the two. Never once, he saw Lei Wanxi this enraged. But, what could be the reason?
Zhu Lin laughed slightly and scowled at Lei Wanxi. "I did not know the Royal Prince would be this ill-mannered. Are you jealous of a woman? You could not save yourself and were crying like a kid, threatening in the name of the Crown Prince because you lack strength and brain both," Zhu Lin loudly said, grabbing the attention of the soldiers.
"How dare you say that? You were the one who endangered my life. Just because I did not fight it does not mean I have no strength. Everyone knows how smart I am! But, wait! Why am I even explaining to a woman who loves to show off!" Lei Wanxi retorted back.
Nianzu came towards them and told them to stop as their verbal fight kept intensifying. However, both were not ready to step back. The limit was broken when Lei Wanxi pushed Zhu Lin, who lost her balance and fell to the ground, shocking everyone there.
"Wanxi," Nianzu called his name, who grabbed his arm and said, "Let's go, Brother. She will not come with us." He made Nianzu turn towards the gate.
Zhu Lin huffed and stood up from the ground. She pulled Lei Wanxi's arm, who widened his eyes because the next second he was pinned to the huge wall. Nianzu held his head, seeing the two fightings like kids.
"You are such a pathetic man!" Zhu Lin sternly said. Lei Wanxi had held her both arms, trying to push her away, but it was in vain. Nianzu dashed to them and told them to stop. Xiao Zhan who had just appeared there, seeing the Sixth Prince fighting with Zhu Lin ran towards them.
"You are not less pathetic than me. Instead of apologizing to me, you are portraying me wrong. I will not let you marry in this Han Family. I never knew that a woman can turn into a headache until I met you," Lei Wanxi gritted his teeth. Xiao Zhan approached them and pulled Zhu Lin away while Nianzu grabbed Lei Wanxi's arms, not letting him go towards Zhu Lin.
"You both calm down!" Nianzu shouted when their verbal arguments stopped.
"What kind of behavior are you two shows? How can you two act like kids at this age?" Nianzu began scolding them.
"Brother, she is the one who started all this. Scold her, not me," Lei Wanxi urged. His chest was falling up and down because of the anger that had built inside him.
"The mannerless person is you! So, you should be scolded. Initially, I thought to apologize to you, but now, I never will," Zhu Lin affirmed.
"See, Brother! How is she talking to me? Even after putting my life in danger, she is not guilty," Lei Wanxi replied.
"Will you two stop? I will lock you two in a room till dusk if you two do not stop," Nianzu threatened.
Lei Wanxi and Zhu Lin glared at each other before averting their gazes from each other. Xiao Zhan had left his grip on Zhu Lin's shoulder and apologized to her before stepping back.
"Stay here, you two! You two are not accompanying me," Nianzu said with a stern expression.
"Prince, I am accompanying you because I indeed have work in the Police Bureau," Zhu Lin stated. Lei Wanxi snickered. "She thinks only she does the work in the entire capital," he murmured. 'If she goes with Brother Nianzu, I will definitely follow her. What if she harms my brother just as she did to me?' thought Lei Wanxi while narrowly gazing at Zhu Lin.
"General Xiao, bring the carriage. I will leave for the market in the carriage. Make sure these two will not come out of this gate," Nianzu commanded Xiao Zhan, who bowed, accepting the order.
"But-"
"Miss Huan, you will not go out. Since you are not a resident of Luoyang, you cannot go to the Police Bureau. I would talk to you later regarding yesterday's incident that happened with Brother Wanxi. Since you two were fighting so, punishment will be there. Prince Wanxi will give a tour to Princess Huan Zhu Lin of the Palace. If I found you two were fighting again, then be ready for another punishment," Nianzu pronounced, cutting her words in the middle. Lei Wanxi was happy because now Zhu Lin would not go near the Fourth Prince. However, he was also irked because he had to be with Zhu Lin.
The chauffeur came on a carriage and stopped it near the Fourth Prince. Xiao Zhan walked ahead and opened the door for the Prince, who got inside and left for the market.
Zhu Lin and Lei Wanxi stepped towards each other. "Please do not start a fight," Xiao Zhan requested them and the two halted.
Lei Wanxi wore a smile on his lips. "I will not fight with her. As per the punishment, I will show her the grandeur Imperial Palace," he affirmed while grinning.
