When Qu Tang’er heard it, she was delighted. She didn’t expect that the marriage could actually go up in smoke just by one sentence of hers that was not to his liking.
They should have said it earlier. If they have said it earlier, she wouldn’t have to suffer from depression.
Anyway, she had to endure. A little impatience will spoil great plans.
This eighth prince or something. Couldn’t he hurry up, give a nod and then say this marriage was broken off? Later, she will definitely burn him an incense and worship a buddha for him to express her gratitude for his benevolence as he enabled her to get off the hook.
“Does official Qu mean benwang should cancel the marriage?” Mo Lian Cheng softly raised his long sleeve that appeared like a flowing cloud, slender jade-like fingers of his lightly stroked teacup on the rosewood teapoy table. His tiny smile was soft like a breeze, yet shallow and indifferent.
“………“ Yes. Yes. Quickly nod and just agree. The corners of Qu Tang’er’s mouth moved. She suppressed the impulse to speak the words out.
Qu Jiang Lin was kneeling on the ground, “Everything will be abided by your Highness’ arrangement. This subject dares not to have any complaint.”
“If benwang remembers correctly, this marriage was bestowed by His imperial majesty.”
“This……….”
“Does official Qu think benwang can cancel this marriage?”
“…………..” Qu Jiang Lin’s face revealed fear and trepidation.
“Since this marriage cannot be canceled, official Qu should quickly choose an auspicious day, right?” That indifferent voice of Mo Lian Cheng didn’t change the slightest bit.
“…………“ Err. It was not possible, right?
Qu Tang’er was startled. Auspicious day……… just a mere imperial edict married her off like this?
“Yes. Yes. Yes. This lowly official understood.” Qu Jiang Lin immediately complied. His face beamed with joy.
“It’s already late. benwang should return back. There’s no need for official Qu to send benwang off.” Mo Lian Cheng leisurely got up. He swept a light glance at Qu Tang’er with his phoenix eyes. The corners of his mouth slightly twitched. He wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn’t.
Taking light steps, he unhurriedly went toward the entrance.
After Mo Lian Cheng left, the fourteenth prince Mo Jing Xuan also followed his suit.
“This lowly official escorts eighth Highness and fourteenth Highness.” Qu Jiang Lin stood up and slightly bowed. His lowered head just happened to cover up that triumphant smile which has formed on his mouth……..
Mo Lian Cheng and Mo Jing Xuan came out of Qu manor.
The lane was made of bluestones. Due to the fact that it was a place where rich people lived, there were only few pedestrians.
Inside a luxurious carriage of the prince’s manor.
Mo Jing Xuan leaned against carriage window. He couldn’t help himself and asked: “Eighth brother, I don’t understand why did you agree to marry her. She and the first imperial brother…..” The tone of his voice carried a trace of disgust and displeasure. Who didn’t know that the fourth miss of Qu manor and the first prince had a dubious relationship? Yet, the one his eighth brother whom he idolized was going to marry as consort was actually her.
Mo Lian Cheng’s lips softly outlined a teasing smile, “What do you think?”
“What do I think? I just don’t understand. I don’t see what’s so good about that woman. Beside nodding there’s only nodding. You have just seen her. From start to finish, she hasn’t lifted her head even once. Maybe she has a pockmarked face, afraid to let people see her. Then, look at official Qu’s attitude. It’s obvious he is plotting something crafty. If eighth brother really marries that woman, isn’t eighth brother afraid of having no good days from now on?”
“One can only comply to the imperial will.” He threw one heavyweight reason with a sentence as light as a feather.
“Yeah, right! Eighth brother, other people don’t understand you. However, do you think that I also don’t know what kind of person you are? Let’s not speak about imperial father’s decree. Even if it was empress dowager’s order, you also won’t necessary follow it.”
„What are you actually——”
“Have you seen me rejecting a woman people send me?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
“It’s a time for a good show to be played.” Mo Lian Cheng quietly said, his eyes flashing an icy coldness.
Outside the carriage, Mo Lian Cheng’s personal bodyguard Yu Hao was constantly on alert.
