Hilarious Pampered Consort: Lord I Will Wait For Your Divorce chapter 8

As soon as Qu Tang’er mentioned Mo Lian Cheng, a fire started to burn inside her heart. Since coming from Earth of the modern time to Dong Yue of the ancient time, it was her first time seeing a man of such fine quality.

Men. Didn’t they all possess a little elegance? Even if they didn’t possess elegance, when they see a beauty like her, they should have showed a little warmth, right?

Yet, that man could act like a bystander, watching the whole situation with cold eyes. He was aware that she was going to fall, in spite of that he still could resist and not catch her. How black must be his heart to be able to do that? It was hard to imagine.

Jing Xin has just returned from outside. She wasn’t so familiar with the situation. Puzzled, she asked her, “Did miss ran away again?”

„It would be a pity not to run away. One couldn’t forever stay here, right? I definitely don’t want to die old here.”

“But you said today the eighth prince……”

“Since he was going to come, first madam wouldn’t be guarding me so tight. It would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity.”

“In that case, did miss see eighth prince?”

“Hmm. I saw.” Qu Tang’er nodded and replied with a little frustration.

“Then, how does eighth prince look like?” Jing Xin stared at Qu Tang’er, not very believing what she said.

“What does he look like? Hmm. Let me think. He has one pair of eyes, one nose and one mouth. He has a human’s appearance but dog’s manner. How else should he be like?” Qu Tang’er boringly blurted out nonsenses. She hasn’t raised her head to look. In the future they were bound to regularly see each other anyway, so there was no hurry.

“Miss, you……”

“If you are asking about how does eighth prince look like, you might as well ask how does she look like.“ Exactly at that moment walked inside a young woman in purple clothes with willow-leaf eyebrows¹ and beautiful and brilliant phoenix eyes. Her laughing tone suggested she already knew everything.

“Yue La. You are truly the ringworm inside my stomach².“ Qu Tang’er looked absent-minded. She sighed shortly afterward.

Su Yue La was Qu Tang’er’s first friend in these two years. She has saved her during one of her failed attempts to escape. It was said that Jin Xin grew up together with”her” – the original owner of this body. Although their relationship was that of master and servant, they were closer than real sisters.

“I have heard master Qu ordered people to make wedding arrangements.” Su Yue La said with a concern.

“First, let’s marry. Perhaps, there will be an opportunity to leave.” Qu Tang’er’s eyes darkened. A mockery flashed inside them. She recalled old man Qu’s conversation on that particular night. Undeniably, he wanted her to act like a piece of pawn. But having said that, if it wasn’t for her natural looks that was on level of femme fatale and having a certain powerful figure pushing the wave and adding to the billows³ in dark, just merely relying on a daughter borned from a concubine, it would be truly hard to catch a wonderful position of principal wife of the eighth prince.

Su Yue La was helpless. She went to the chair beside her and sat down. She said sternly: “Tang’er, you can’t even escape from Qu manor. Don’t tell me it will be easier to escape from eight prince’s mansion? Let me tell you, let alone run away, your every move and every word will be monitored. Unless eighth prince divorces you, otherwise….”

“Thank you for your remind.” Qu Tang’er hasn’t been seriously listening to Su Yue La’s lecturing. However, she heard the last sentence “divorcing her” particularly clear.

Moreover……

Cough. Divorcing her? It was, indeed, a pretty good idea.

Su Yue La sighed: “You…..why do you insist on leaving? There are so many women who want to obtain the position of eighth princess consort. Living in this world, no matter where you go, as long as you have sufficient identity and status, you won’t have to be afraid of people looking down on you or even bullying you. When the time comes…..”

Qu Tan’er replied: “Let it be, Yue La. Only peaceful and quiet, safe and steady life is counted as life. Furthermore, don’t you think that quarreling and fighting with a group of women all the times, with either you die or I live’s life attitude is tiring?”
