BXBX NOVEL Chapter 6
Anyway, she had to endure. A little impatience will spoil great plans.
Just, this eighth prince or something. Couldn´t he hurry and nod a bit then say this marriage was broken off? Later she would definetely burn him an incense and wors.h.i.+p a budha for him to express her grat.i.tude for his benevolence for enabling her being off the hook.
„Does official Qu mean Ben w.a.n.g should cancel the marriage?“ Mo Liancheng softly raised his long sleeve that appeared like a flowing cloud, slender like jade fingers of his lightly stroked tea cup on the rosewood teapoy table. His faint smile was soft like a breeze, shallow and indifferent.
„.........“ Yes-ah. Yes.ah. Quickly nod and just agree. The corners of Qu Tang´er´s mouth moved. She supressed impulse to speak the words out.
Qu Jianglin was kneeling on the ground, „Everything will be abided by your highness´ arrangement without daring to have any bit of a complaint.“
„If Ben w.a.n.g remembers correctly, this marriage was bestowed by his imperial majesty.“
„This..........“
„Does official Qu think Ben w.a.n.g can cancel this marriage?“
„..............“ Qu Jianglin´s face revealed fear and trepidation.
„Since this marriage cannot be canceled then official Qu should quickly choose an auspicious day, right?“ That indifferent voice of Mo Liancheng didn´t change the slightest.
„............“ e (exclamation). It is 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 Jianglin immediately complied. His face beamed with joy.
„It´s already late. Ben w.a.n.g should return back. There´s no need for official Qu to send Ben w.a.n.g off.“ Mo Liancheng not too hurriedly nor too slowly got up, with his phoenix eyes lightly sweeping a glance at Qu Tang´er. 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 Liancheng left, fourteenth prince Mo Jingxuan also followed his suit.
„This lowly official escorts eighth highness and fourteenth highness.“ Qu Jianglin stood up and slightly bowed. His lowered head just happened to cover up that triumphant smile, which has formed on his mouth........
Mo Liancheng the two (meaning he and his brother) came out of Qu manor.
The lane was made of bluestones. Due to the fact it was a place where rich people lived, there were only a few pedestrians.
One luxurious carriage of prince´s manor. Inside the carriage.
Mo Jingxuan leaned on window of the carriage. He couldn´t help himself and asked: „Eighth brother, I don´t understand why did you agree to marry her. She and 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 dubious relations.h.i.+p? Yet, the one his eighth brother, whom he usually idolized, was going to marry as consort was actually her.
Mo Liancheng´s lips softly outlined a teasing smile, „What do you think?“
„What I think? I just don´t understand. I don´t see what´s so good about that woman. Beside nodding it´s again 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 att.i.tude. It´s obvious he is plotting something crafty. If eighth brother really married that woman, isn´t eighth brother afraid of having no good days from now on?“
„One can only comply to royal will.“ by a sentence as light as a feather he threw one heavyweight reason.
„Yeah, right! Eighth brother, other people don´t understand you but you think I also wouldn´t know what kind of person you are? Let´s not speak about royal father´s imperial decree. Even if it was empress dowager´s order you also won´t necessary follow it.
„What in the end are you——„
„Have you seen me rejecting someone when they were sending me a woman?“
„Oh, that´s right.“
„It´s a time for a good show to be played.“ Mo Liancheng quietly said, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng an icy coldness.
Outside the carriage, Mo Liancheng´s personal bodyguard Yu Hao was constantly on alert about the surroundings.
