„If you are asking about how does eighth prince look like you might as well ask how does she look like.“ exactly in this moment walked inside a young woman in purple clothes with willow-leaf eyebrows[1] and beautiful and brilliant phoenix eyes. While smiling, her tone was very acquainted as if she already knew everything.
„Yi, Yuela. You are truly the ringworm inside my stomach[2].“ Qu Tang´er looked absent-minded. Consequently she sighed.
Su Yuela was Qu Tang´er´s first friend in these two years. She has saved her during one of her failed attempt to escape. It is said that Jin Xin grew up together with „her“ – the original owner of this body´s. Although their relationship was that of master and servant but they were even closer than real sisters.
„I have heard master Qu ordered people to make wedding arrangements.“ Su Yuela asked concernedly.
„First let´s marry. Perhaps there would be an opportunity to leave.“ Qu Tang´er´s eyes darkened. A mockery flashed inside them. She recalled old man Qu´s conversation on a 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 billows[3] in dark just merely relying on a daughter borned from a concubine, it would be truly hard to catch a wonderful assignment of principal wife of eighth prince´s mansion.
Su Yuela was helpless. She went to the chair beside and sat down. She sternly said: „Tang´er, you can´t even escape from Qu manor. Don´t tell me it would be easier to escape from eight prince´s mansion? Let me tell you, let alone run away, your every move, every word would be monitored by someone. Unless eighth prince divorce you, otherwise….“
„Thank you for your remind.“ Qu Tang´er hasn´t been seriously listening to Su Yuela´s series of lecturing. However, the last sentence „divorcing her“ she heard particularly clear.
Moreover……
Cough. Divorcing her? It was, indeed, a pretty good idea.
Su Yueala 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 of being bullied. When the time comes…..“
Qu Tan´er replied: „Let it be, Yuela. Only peaceful and quiet, safe and steady life is counted as life-ah. Furthermore, don´t you think that quarreling and fighting with a group of women all the time with either you die or I live´s attitude kind of life isn´t tiring?“
