Hilarious Pampered Consort: Lord I Will Wait For Your Divorce chapter 20

Following day, morning.

The birds on the trees were all crowing at the eighth prince’s manor.

Shuang Yuan. People inside have already gotten up.

“It cannot be?!”

Early in the morning, a cry could be heard from the chamber.

As soon as Su Yue La walked to the door and learnt that only the two of them will return to Qu manor, she immediately cried out.

“Yue La, can you not have such an intense reaction? It’s me who is returning to natal home, not you.” Qu Tang’er and Jing Xin were, on the contrary, calm. They have already prepared all the things they had to prepare for the return.

“Tang’er, how come his Highness is busy?” Su Yue La pulled at Qu Tang’er, insisting to make heads or tails of the matter. The whole world knew that Mo Lian Cheng was the idlest one among the princes. Ignoring state affairs, spending every day trivially by composing and writing poems. It was impossible to be unable to return to the natal home because of being busy.

“Uh-huh. When we come back, we will tell you details, alright?” Alas. A misstep. Life was a a misstep. Qu Tang’er was truly tangled about the matter of returning to Qu manor. She honestly wasn’t in mood to describe her yesterday’s meeting with Mo Lian Cheng.

“No. Say it now. I can’t wait till you return.”

“It’s not like I won’t come back. You are saying it as if I won’t get out once entering the Qu manor.”

“It’s hard to say. The first madam will surely make things difficult for you.” Su Yue La said with a serious face.

“Rest assured. I won’t die easily. Isn’t it just a return to the natal home? Wait for me. I will tell you and Xiao Wei later about interesting things that has happened during my trip, so you can have fun.” Qu Tang’er lightly patted Su Yue La’s shoulder as if to provide her a comfort. Heaven! She even had to comfort others now. Are they kidding her?

Suddenly, Su Yue La spoke: “Tang’er, be careful.”

“Don’t worry. After I go back, I will see what I can do. Uh-huh. Thinking about it carefully, it’s not just me and Jing Xin going.” Qu Tang’er said flatly.

“Huh? Who else?” Yue La was puzzled. Could it be that his Highness was truly busy, so he send someone else instead?

Unexpectedly, Qu Tang’er’s next sentence was enough to make her spat blood from anger.

“Hehe. There are also those porters. The number of people is not small. There are as much as four porters and also guards. Since there are these many people, even if I wanted to use this opportunity to flee, it would be impossible.” After saying this, Qu Tang’er sneered at herself. These people, including those four porters are all from the prince’s manor. Housekeeper Zhou arranged them. He said that their purpose was to protect her, too. To her, it sounded more like that they were there to monitor her.

“Are you still like this, in mood to make fun of me?”

“Yeah. Otherwise, what more do you want?”

„Oh….and Jing Xin plus four porters. Is this your so called many people?” Su Yue La regretted iron didn’t become steel¹!

“Yes. There are four people, eight eyes, eight hands, is it still not many? I am even bothered that there are so many people. The best would be to walk there.” The whole one day would be wasted on the road. This was her ideal solution.

“Tang’er!” Su Yue La was about to flip out.

“Well, it’s almost time. Let’s have a good chat after I come back….. Jing Xin, did you take along my cloak?” Qu Tang’er softly smiled. After Jing Xin said that she took it, she pulled at Jing Xin and without carrying about what more Su Yue La wanted to say, she rushed directly to the gate.

The person inside the chamber didn’t even have a time to react, their figures have already disappeared.

The gate of the prince’s manor.

The sedan chair outside was already waiting for them.

Qu Tang’er and Jing Xin came outside. She unhurriedly got inside the sedan chair and instructed: “Let’s go. There’s no need to go too fast. Benwangfei wants to look at scenery on the street.” Going from the eighth prince’s manor to Qu manor, although the road was not long, their speed was also not fast.
