Chapter 695 Breaking His Head (Part Two)


    Seeing his wound, Harper touched her nose, feeling guilty for what she had done. She ordered,


    "Forsythia, bring me my medicine kit."


    "Yes, Your Highness." Rufus was a frequent visitor to Matthew''s mansion, and Forsythia also knew him


    well. Ever since Harper had been staying in the Sleek Pce, they had always been on alert. When


    Rufus tried to break in secretly at midnight, they thought it was some random rounder outside, and that


    was the reason why they had waited behind the door to strike him down. They didn''t expect it would be


    Rufus.


    Harper quickly applied some medicine to Rufus'' head to stop his bleeding and then bandaged the


    wound on his head. She said apologetically, "I''m sorry. I didn''t expect you here. I thought it was some


    rounder trying to pick up loose women, so I tried to…"


    Rufus rubbed his head angrily. It was an unforeseen disaster for him. Even though he understood


    Harper''s situation, he couldn''t help but snort at her. "But you should have asked who I am before you


    struck," he said.

    "If it was an enemy outside and if I were to ask, then I would end up exposing myself to danger, right?"


    Harper said, pouring a cup of tea and handing it to Rufus. "Here, have a cup of tea and it will calm you


    down. Don''t worry, your wound isn''t serious, and it will recover soon."


    Rufus drank up the tea in one gulp. He shouldn''t have explored the Sleep Pce this way. He realized


    that Howard must have guessed about this hidden threat as well as the possibility that Harper would be


    on high alert. That would be the reason he dared note first, but encouraged him to do that. Rufus


    wondered if Matthew''s head had ever been smashed when he courted Harper and broke into her room


    at night in the first ce.


    "Have you broken Prince Matthew''s head previously while he was trying to enter the Chu n mansion


    at night?" Rufus asked as he couldn''t suppress his curiosity.


    Waving her hand and shaking her head, Harper said, "That''s impossible. Matthew has excellent martial


    arts skills and quick reflexes. Even though I triedunching a sneak attack, I was no match for his


    talent."


    Rufus'' face darkened when he heard her. Did she mean that he got struck only because he was weak


    in martial arts and was slow to react?


    "Now that you made all the way to the Sleek Pce at night, there must be something urgent. Is it


    because of your younger sister?" Harper believed Rufus must havee for Cynthia. This was


    because Cynthia had juste during the daytime and he had appeared at night of the same day.


    "I came for you!" Rufus said, giving Harper something secretly. "I hope that you wouldn''t be bullying my


    younger sister too much."


    Harper took over the thing Rufus gave her nonchntly. "Why would I bully your younger sister? She''s


    not just your sister, but Matthew''s cousin as well. She has always been a part of my family. I will treat


    her well for your sake, even if not for Matthew''s sake."


    "Come on! I know you''re dark-minded!" Rufus didn''t believe Harper''s words at all. He knew her too


    well. If any woman were to cast her greedy eyes on Matthew, she would not sit idly. It was not her way


    of doing things.


    "Why wouldn''t you trust me? When your younger sister came to see me, I immediately arranged for her


    stay in the main hall for the night. I have really treated her very well!"


    Rufus'' face twisted in shock. "Does my younger sister stay in the main hall of the Sleek Pce?"


    "Yes. The Sleek Pce has only one main hall and one side hall. If I stay in the main hall, she will have


    to stay in the side hall which would have been unkind from my side. So I let her stay in the main hall.


    Haven''t you seen her in the main hall?" Harper asked in surprise.


    "No, there isn''t anyone in the main hall."


    Harper pondered carefully for a while and then said, "Now that there is no one in the main hall, I think


    she must be sleeping in the drawing room, where there is a soft bed. I feel sorry for her. The bed in the


    main hall is big and soft, but she seems to dislike it somehow. Instead, she prefers the small and


    narrow soft bed in the drawing room."


    Rufus thought to himself, ''How shameless you are! You yourself don''t dare to sleep in the main hall, but


    you incited my sister to do that. If my sister were to sleep in the main hall, while you were actually


    sleeping in the side hall, what all consequences would she be facing then?''


    "How long do you intend to stay in the Sleek Pce?" Rufus asked, shifting the topic of conversation.


    That was because he was afraid that if they continued their conversation about his sister and Harper


    said something that really irritated him, he might take her by the throat when he could not endure his


    anger.


    Harper answered, slightly sadly, "Mister Rufus, there is no point in asking me that. You should ask


    Francis when he is nning to let me out of the Imperial Pce."


    "I think he would never let you out of the Imperial Pce," Rufus mumbled. "You always attract the


    attention of too many men. I don''t know why Matthew married a woman like you. Just because of that,


    he always has to guard against the flies around you. He is always fed up with Zack. Now herees


    Prince Francis."


    Harper grounded her teeth and gave Rufus a tight stab on the wound on his head without any


    hesitation. The pain made him grimace. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" heined.


    Harper yawned. "I mean it''s time for you to leave. Goodnight."


    "I almost forgot that I have something else to say," Rufus said, grasping Harper''s sleeve. "There are too


    many guards outside the Sleek Pce. Howard is also outside. He is trying to get in."


    Harper was taken aback. Then she quickly realized that Howard might be worried about her


    displeasure as he had lost Felix, which resulted in Felix''s early death. "Tell him to meet with the master


    of another house and not to take action arbitrarily."


    "Just that?"


    "Should I ask you to pass a long speech to him?" Harper asked back. "Will any woman like such a


    dtory man like you?"


    "That''s pure nder, Harper Chu!"


    "Get out! You are troubling me now!" Harper eximed, pushing Rufus out of the room. Then she


    closed the door, went to bed and told Forsythia to go to sleep too. She didn''t care about Rufus, or what


    would happen to him. If he fell into Francis'' hands, she thought she couldn''t be med for that, and


    that would be purely due to his misfortune.
