Hilarious Pampered Consort: Lord I Will Wait for Your Divorce Chapter 24

Chapter 24
At the moment, big madam´s clothes were stained by water drops.
Especially her aged face. Originally, she had a not too thin powder on her face. After getting in contact with water, it has somehow melted and got smudged.
Qu Tang´er lowered her head, resisting the laughter.
Cannot laugh. Absolutely cannot!
„Sir, take a look. This is your darling daughter! Just look at how she is treating me, her Daniang. It´s upside-down! Upside-down!“ Big madam has truly got angry.
„Tang´er, what are you doing? Hurry up and apologize to your Daniang.“ Qu Jianglin´s face turned cold. Qu Jianglin didn´t dare to say more about big madam´s accusation of Qu Tang´er. Yet, he also didn´t dare to take any action to punish Qu Tang´er for the time being only because of the eighth prince´s face.
„Yes. Tang´er begs Daniang not to blame Tang´er. It´s all Tang´er´s momentary carelessness.“ Qu Tang´er docilely apologized.
„Come, close the door.“ Big madam was furious. She turned around and took a sit. She fiercely looked toward the housekeeper and instructed.
Once the words were out, a gasp could be heard everywhere.
Why closing the door? It was to carry out jia fa.
“Elder sister, there´s no need to be angry like this. It´s better to calm down. To emphasize, Tang´er is currently the eighth princess consort. Her body is now precious.” Seeing that big madam wanted to close the door, the second madam seemed a little like she couldn´t bear to see that. Yet, who could see her real motive? the second madam could be regarded as someone who had a say in this manor. After all, she could give a birth! She gave a birth to a n.o.ble consort.
Big madam usually also had to show the second madam some respect.
“Yes, big sister. The second sister is right. Tang´er isn´t what she used to be now. She isn´t the one you can manage anymore. If she got injured or something b.u.mped into her and it spread out, it will become a major thing. “ Third madam also sticked in. She swept a glance at motionless Qu Tang´er, who was standing nearby. Only, her words were full of concern, yet not even a little warmth could be found inside her eyes.
And these undoubtedly ignited fire.
Containing a small portion of mockery, reminding big madam, Qu Tang´er couldn´t be managed by her anymore.
And this kind of change was, for big madam, who made a habit out of bullying Qu Tang´e, somewhat hard to accept. It was las if the thing, that should have been stepped on as she pleased, all of sudden got the upper hand. No human being can tolerate such feeling. Let alone, big madam´s daughter was also a personage. She married the first prince and became his princess consort.
As a result, big madam looked down upon Qu Tang´er.
“Big madam, I…….” Ninth madam timidly just wanted to say a few words.
“Shup up! There´s no place for you to say a word.”
Ninth madam just opened her mouth, big madam immediately swept a cold eyes at her and a scolding followed afterwards.
Instantly, no more sound came from ninth madam.
Yet, Qu Jianglin with a scowl on his face said, “Fu´ren[1] although Tang´er is in the at fault, but she is eighth princess consort after all. If words spreaded to eighth prince´s ears, I´m afraid Qu manor won´t be able to take such a responsibility.”
„Do you believe that eighth prince will seek justice on her behalf? Don´t be dreaming! Guarding an empty chamber on the wedding night, visiting the bridal home alone. Even if she died, I reckon eighth prince would even be thankful to us. Besides, like mother like daughter. It was said, that she had a frivolous manner on the first day of wedding. She doesn´t know how to restrain herself, making eighth prince dislike her.“
Each of the big madam´s word carried spite, yet, it made people unable to refute.
The corners of Qu Tang´er´s mouth twitched.
Madam certainly hit the nail on the head.
In this society, where men had superiority, if woman didn´t rely on a man, she was simply unable to live. Futhermore, women who were married, yet couldn´t gain their husbands´favor had life cheap like those of ants´[2]. Just look at her mother, ninth madam. She was the living example. So what about marrying a high official? In this household you normally didn´t even dare to breathe heavily, let alone when you start mentioning the status
Depressing! Boring.
[1] a respectful way to address the wife
[2] meaning anyone can trample on their life, like how ants have their life trampled easily
