An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 66

"We were so frightened and thought we were gonna die. But suddenly a man in red jumped down from the roof, took their swords, and killed them all. We saw so much blood that we screamed. That's when the commoners came. We asked for their help in notifying the authorities." Qian Yin's face was full of fear. She trembled slightly as if the killing was so bloody that even thinking about it brought back the horror she had felt in that moment.

The Governor nodded and turned to face Wang Jinhuan, "Mr. Wang, can you tell me why you happened to be on that roof?"

Wang Jinhuan glanced at the Governor and sighed. "It's well-known in the Imperial City that I like good-looking girls. Today when I was wandering in the street, I saw Princess Hui Guo. I did not know who she was. I just thought she was the most beautiful girl that I had ever seen. So I followed her. I had thought about approaching her to ask her name and address. When she walked into that back alley and bumped into those killers, " he paused to shake his head. "I couldn't allow such things to happen under my watch. So I killed them. By the way, they were awful at Kung Fu..."

The Governor's mouth twitched slightly. He said to Hua Jing, "Now that I've gathered basic information, I'll go to the crime scene and take a closer look."

Hua Jing nodded, "Escort the Governor out."

After the Governor left, Hua Jing stood up as well. "I'll send someone for the details. You two stay here and look after her. If Princess Hui Guo wakes up, send someone to notify me."

Qian Yin and Qin Yi nodded. Hua Jing gazed at Yun Shang for a long time before turning around and walking out.

"Well, Your Highness, now you can wake up. Let's talk about it. How are you going to pay me for all this? My reputation will only get worse after today. I won't be able to get rid of this philandering image anymore." Wang Jinhuan sat on a chair. He crossed his legs and waited for the Princess to reply. His beautiful eyes reflected his dissatisfaction with the situation in which he found himself.

Yun Shang opened her eyes and turned her head to the person on the chair and frowned, "Qian Yin, this is my room. How can you let such a random man into my chamber? Ask him to leave."

Qian Yin sniggered. She walked up to Wang Jinhuan and bowed. "This random man?" Then she stood and pointed to the door. "Oh right, Mr. Wang. Her Highness needs to rest. You are not welcome here. Your presence will harm Her Highness's reputation."

Wang Jinhuan stared at Yun Shang with widened eyes. After everything he had done, he was being called a random man and asked to leave. He was furious. "How could you? I just helped you make up a lie, and now you turn against me? I'll shout in the street that Princess Hui Guo is a Kung Fu master and that she killed someone and denied it."

Yun Shang smiled gently. "I heard that you are good friends with my Uncle. I think I'll tell him that you're a stalker and that you stalked me all the way home. I wonder what my Uncle will think of you."

Wang Jinhuan was speechless. After he regained his composure, he muttered, "Cruel."

Then he glared at Yun Shang for a long time before standing.
