Another ‘very good’ sentence. What did he mean? Is he staying or not? Ai, it’s all this red headcover’s fault. If it wasn’t for it, she could have already lifted her head to see Mo Lian Cheng’s current expression. Qu Tang’er was trying to figure out ways out. She directly ignored that the first trick didn’t work and that the cross-cupped wine trap also failed. In that case, she could only use her last resort. This last trick was quite vicious. She must success!
Unexpectedly, a surprise occurred. Mo Lian Cheng lightly asked her: “If bengwang walks out from this door, won’t you regret it?”
“Hubby, take care. I wo’t see you off.”
Mo Lian Cheng left with a flick of sleeve1.
Before leaving, he swept a glance at the corner behind the bed.
After a while.
“Sweetheart, are you still here?” Qu Tang’er asked tentatively.
There was silence inside the room. Nobody answered the question.
“No need to call. Your sweetheart already left.” Su Yue La entered the bridal chamber and closed the door. The servant girls outside were all sent off by her.
“You are quite adaptable.” Hearing this, Qu Tang’er raised her hand to pull away the headcover on her head. Immediately, she was full of smiles. Subsequently, she rapidly removed phoenix hairdressing and all the other accessories. This stuff was too heavy. It pressed her head till she was dizzy. If it wasn’t for her strong endurance, she would have already gotten rid of them.
She stood up and sat beside the red-painted sandalwood table and swept a glance at two cups of wine on the table. She shook her head and muttered: “I really pity this wine of mine. Not only did it waste my money, it also wasted the drug I have especially prepared for him. What a pity.”
After finishing her speech, she came with two cups of wine toward bonsai and emptied them.
Qu Tang’er then said: “Jing Xin, you can come out.”
“Mi….master.” Jing Xin held a long knife. With murderous like expression on the face, she came out from the corner behind the bed.
“Jin……” Qu Tang’er originally wanted to say something. However, when she saw Jing Xin’s state, her eyebrows merely wrinkled: “Cough. Jing Xin, that knife must be very heavy, right? You can put it down.”
“Tang’er, you weren’t going to murder the eight prince, right?” Su Yue La incredulously looked at the knife in Jing Xin’s hands. Then, she looked at Qu Tang’er’s smiling expression. She felt her scalp tingling.
“Wrong. When you murder someone you have to repay it with a life. I truly don’t want to repay a life with another life. It would be such a disadvantage.” Qu Tang’er’s slim hand pointed at the direction of the bed’s top. “Do you see? All I wanted was only for that thing on the top to fall down.” In order to avoid wedding night, she racked her brain and thought about several tricks.
This last trick was pouring a water!
Even the most ferocious lust would cool down after being poured by this cold water.
Qu Tang’er still possessed a little bit of self-awareness.
She knew her tricks, although couldn’t be put onto the table2, were still better than having none.
“Tang……” Yue La had no words.
“Don’t worry. There will be no one dying. Besides, I had no opportunity to put it into the use.” Qu Tang’er shrugged her shoulders, unconcerned.
“Won’t you regret doing this?” Yue La truly didn’t understand the way her brain was working. Didn’t married woman ought to use every possible means to obtain favor of their husband?
“I won’t.”
“What’s bad about having authority, power and status?”
“It’s bad.”
“Why?”
“There’s no why. I simply don’t like it.” To Qu Tang’er, Su Yue La’s doubts were never doubts. And she, till now, always had only one purpose – freedom. The freedom she yearned for……..cough. The main point was to find a way to return to the modern times. She knew that if she was able to come here, there was definitely a way to return back.
