Hilarious Pampered Consort: Lord I Will Wait for Your Divorce

T/N: Muahaha— Here’s a chapter. To be honest, I already had half of this done when I was about to drop this. However, since there doesn’t seem to be any movement/update/mentions from the other translator who wanted to pick this up, I figured I might as well continue on until they’re back lol.

Also I may have watched the drama and got motivated to continue a little more.

32. A Certain Ye’s Probe (2)

Even if she was a fake, there was no way Mo LianCheng would just let her leave.

If news were to be leaked that the newly-wed w.a.n.g Fei from the Eighth w.a.n.g Fu was a fake, how much face would the royalty lose?

Killing her, before announcing to the outside world that Eight w.a.n.g Fei had died due to a major illness... It would stop any ugly news from spreading.

In these old times, a human’s life was worthless, especially the frail life of women. (1)

Hu!

Gently releasing a breath, perseverance eventually crumbling. Having sat too long, Qu Tan-er’s body tilted, yet in moments her posture s.h.i.+fts again. The facade that should be done, remained firm.

The distance towards the Eight Fu shouldn’t be long now.

Mo LianCheng lightly lifted the corners of his lips, handsome face containing little to no expression which would have caused people to feel that his thoughts contained unfathomable depths and would also be unable to guess what was going through his mind. In the next second, within the moment his gaze swept towards Qu Tan-er and his expression changed, he couldn’t stop the twitch of his brows and a hint of consideration appeared in his eyes. (2)

“I heard, that you used to walk closely with Da w.a.n.g Ye.” It was not a suspicion, but a fact.

“Eh? Oh, yeah... ” Maybe? Qu Tan-er’s question remained at her throat, yet did not ask. Jing Xin had already mentioned to her long ago; Two years ago her relations.h.i.+p with Da w.a.n.g Ye, Mo Yi Huan, was very close, close to the point of suspicion and yet.... She was not the original her, so those memories doesn’t exist for her.

Within these two years, she had never met this Da w.a.n.g Ye in person and thus had forgotten about this matter.

“The relations.h.i.+p was not simple.”

“Oh, yes.” It does seem that way.

Mo LianCheng asked straightforwardly, yet Qu Tan-er replied as if it was natural, without a hint of hesitation.

She did not dare hesitate since he had suspected her ident.i.ty earlier, so it her reply contained any bit of hesitance... It would lead people to feel that something was strange. But, replying yes would have a possibility of angering Mo LianCheng. After all, her current t.i.tle was his w.a.n.g Fei, which man would be happy to hear about their own woman walking so closely with another man?

But between suspicion, and angering him.

She decisively chose the latter.

Her head, habitually lowered, did not raise to look him in the eyes.

One questioning, one answering, as if idly chatting.

Only, this kind of stifling atmosphere, was heavy enough to cause difficulties in breathing.

“You would marry so easily for him?” Mo LianCheng’s eyes contained within a moment of coldness, yet it quickly calmed. Closely observed, they remained the same aloofness like before.

“Tan-er does not understand w.a.n.g Ye’s meaning.” Qu Tan-er, startled, raised her eyes to glance back at Mo LianCheng. Instinctively, she realized that her own thinking seemed to be wrong. Qu Tan-er marrying to Mo LianCheng, the Great Mastermind pus.h.i.+ng it forward behind her, appears to be Da w.a.n.g Ye! What! What kind of complicated relations.h.i.+p is this?

As for Mo LianCheng agreeing to marry her, definitely wasn’t as simple as it appears.

Even though an Imperial Edict cannot be defied, but this kind of marriage matters that he did not even attempt to reject, showed that it contained certain unknown secrets.

“His motives.” Mo LianCheng suddenly spoke out.

“Eh?” Qu Tan-er was stunned again, regarding such a simple question, she still could not wrap her head around. She hadn’t even seen this Da w.a.n.g Ye, how would she know his motives?

“Ben w.a.n.g has never done things sloppily, Ben w.a.n.g only needs to know his motives for having you married here, as for the rest, Ben w.a.n.g does not wish to ask about. You, will still be your Eight w.a.n.g Fei.” Mo LianCheng leaned back slightly against the carriage, indifferently watching her. (3)

“Tan-er does not understand w.a.n.g Ye’s meaning.”

“You do understand. Ben w.a.n.g’s patience has its’ limits. Soon we will reach Eight w.a.n.g Fu, it is not wise to waste time.”

(1) 命如纸薄的女人; Literally Paper-thin life / Life like paper, so fragile

(2) This was a pretty troublesome part to translate because chinese writing has so many pauses and commas and whatnot... *Owl crying*

Da w.a.n.g Ye ; 大王爷Literally 大 = Big so instead of ‘Big w.a.n.g Ye’ I decided to leave it as Da w.a.n.g Ye (lol)

(3) 拖泥带水: Literally ‘ Wading through mud while dragging water ‘
