Hilarious Pampered Consort: Lord I Will Wait For Your Divorce chapter 5

„Tang’er greets your eighth Highness, pays respect to your eighth Highness.” Qu Tang’er didn’t worry. Since the one on the right wasn’t him, then it was the one on the left. Alas. There’s left and right side. One of the sides had to be right.

One eighth prince alone was enough. Are they taking it for going to a market? Even fourteenth prince had to tag along for the ride.

Although Qu Tang’er needed only to raise her head to see clearly who was who, she didn’t have even the slightest desire to do so.

Despite one could see the bright moon when one raised head, cough, it was the same as seeing the roof. Indeed, bending head down couldn’t make one think about homeland, but at least it enabled one to see that the pair of shoes one was wearing…… evidently needed to be replaced with new one.

“This child. You are paying respect to me, your father.” Qu Jiang Lin was so angry his whole face turned red. Yet, because of Mo Lian Cheng’s presence, he couldn’t flare up. “His eighth Highness is in the front seat.”

“Oh, I apologize.” On Qu Tang’er’s little face appropriately flashed an awkwardness. Well, she admits that she did it on purpose. But still, aren’t you, old fellow Qu, a little too easy to provoke?

Hence, still with a lowered head facing the front seat, she has not too hurriedly nor too slowly made a curtsy. “Tang’er greets your eighth Highness. So actually your eighth Highness went there. It was truly rude of me.”

Once these words were spoken!

Pfff!! Someone laughed.

On the other side, Qu Jiang Lin was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Anyway, on the outward, he still had to act politely, “Daughter made your fourteenth Highness laughed.“

“Very well.“ Mo Lian Cheng’s handsome face showed a faint smile. Since Qu Tang’er arrived, his sight seemed to follow her every step as if waiting for the expression she would show once she raised her head. His wish was apparently going to die on the vine. A certain woman had obviously no desire to raise her head.

Very well?

What very well?

Qu Tang’er’s eyes turned. She honestly couldn’t understand what did the words very well Mo Lian Cheng spoke mean.

Qu Jiang Lin smooth-facedly spoke some courtesy words.

Unexpectedly, while they were chatting someone mentioned Qu Tang’er’s appearance.

After a while, Qu Jiang Lin said: “Tang’er, lift your head to let his eighth Highness see you.”

“Father, daughter has a headache.” She spoke softly, appearing very delicate.

“How come you have a headache? Even if you have a headache you still have to lift your head.” Qu Jiang Lin’s complexion changed. He shouted with a low voice. His expression already looked a little enraged. Why did this daughter of his drop the chain¹ in the critical moment?

“Father, there are pimples on daughter’s face. They are ugly.” Is it clear and easy to understand? Should she be more detailed?

“Are you deliberately going against me?” Old Qu finally got angry.

“Father——” Qu Tang’er’s timid and aggrieved voice made people unable to refuse her. Her acting skill made the stove fire  turn bright green².

“You…..”

“Father, don’t be mad. You must take care of your body. Daughter is shy. Daughter truly doesn’t dare to lift head. If I looked too ugly and frightened his eighth Highness, what should I do? It would be the wrong of Qu manor.” Get angry, get angry. Better If he got so angry he would vomit blood. It would be even better if he got so mad that the marriage would fail. It was only……

Damn! Which untactful fellow was secretly laughing up his sleeve?

Left side, right side or it’s the front seat……that darned fourteenth prince, Mo Jing Xuan.

“This is benwang’s³ future princess consort?” Mo Lian Cheng’s slender jade like finger was lightly tapping on the tea cup on the table. His narrow phoenix eyes⁴ watched Qu Tang’er with an interest. He would like to see what kind of show were these Qu father and daughter playing.

Qu Jiang Lin thought that things got bad. Trembling with fear, he quickly knelt before Mo Lian Cheng, “It was my negligence in discipline. I beg your Highness’s forgiveness. If your Highness doesn’t like my daughter, then this marriage can be canceled. It’s my daughter who doesn’t match your Highness.”
