Chapter 84: Cruel Prince 33

Naturally, entering the Second Prince’s residence was not an easy matter.

However, Tang Qingzhu possessed a personal token belonging to the Second Prince himself.

After seeing it, how could the guards possibly dare stop her?

Thus, Tang Qingzhu smoothly entered the Second Prince’s residence.

Still, she did not dare make her presence public.

She wasn’t stupid.

The Second Prince had clearly arranged for her to go to the Fifth Prince’s residence instead. If he discovered she had come here instead, he would definitely throw her out immediately while it was still dark.

Therefore, Tang Qingzhu quietly hid inside the firewood room of the Second Prince’s residence for the entire night.

...

Meanwhile, Feng Qitong had already received news that Tang Qingzhu entered the Second Prince’s residence.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Then Feng Qitong lowered his voice and instructed the hidden guard beside him:

“I understand.”

“But by tomorrow morning, I want everyone in the capital to know Tang Qingzhu spent the night at the Second Prince’s residence.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

After the hidden guard left, Feng Qitong lowered his head and gently kissed Tang Wan’s lips.

Yet inwardly, he sneered coldly.

Even if Tang Qingzhu had truly gone to the Fifth Prince’s residence tonight, he would still have knocked her unconscious and personally delivered her to the Second Prince’s residence instead.

Did the Second Prince truly think Feng Qitong knew nothing?

If Feng Qitong were truly just some mindless lunatic, then even with the Emperor protecting him, he would never have remained Crown Prince until now.

Unfortunately—

the Second Prince failed to understand this completely.

In his eyes, Feng Qitong was merely a violent madman relying solely on imperial favor.

...

The next morning—

the Second Prince had only just awakened when he heard a clear female voice outside his room.

“Second Prince, you must save Qingzhu!”

The moment he recognized Tang Qingzhu’s voice, the Second Prince’s body stiffened instantly.

Then he strode toward the door with an ugly expression.

After opening it and seeing Tang Qingzhu’s miserable appearance from freezing all night, the Second Prince’s heart sank completely.

“Tang Qingzhu,” he said coldly, “why are you in my residence?”

“Didn’t I tell you to go—”

The Second Prince abruptly stopped himself before finishing the sentence.

Tang Qingzhu immediately lowered her head guiltily before speaking pitifully:

“Second Prince... I was too frightened.”

“And it was already dark last night...”

“Besides, I only had the jade token you gave me. I didn’t have anything from the Fifth Prince.”

“So... I could only come to your residence.”

“I’m sorry... did I cause trouble for you?”

Hearing this, the Second Prince nearly wanted to strangle her on the spot.

Cause trouble?

This was far beyond “trouble.”

But now was not the time to explode in anger.

Taking a deep breath, the Second Prince forced himself to calm down.

“Did anyone see you when you came?”

Tang Qingzhu quickly shook her head.

“That’s good,” the Second Prince said immediately.

“I’ll send you away right now.”

This disaster absolutely had to disappear before the matter spread further.

...

Tang Qingzhu froze after hearing his words.

Then she desperately shook her head.

“No!”

“Second Prince, I don’t want to leave!”

“Please let me stay!”

“Even if I can only become your concubine, I’m willing!”

“Shut up!” the Second Prince snapped sharply.

Did this woman even realize what she was saying?

If those words spread outside, the flawless reputation he had painstakingly built over the years would be completely ruined.

Unfortunately—

before he could send Tang Qingzhu away, the steward hurried over anxiously.

“Second Prince! Something terrible has happened!”

“There are already rumors outside saying the Tang family’s concubine-born daughter secretly came to your residence to offer herself!”

“They’re saying the two of you have been involved privately for a long time!”

“What?!”

The Second Prince’s expression turned completely icy.

Then his cold gaze shot directly toward Tang Qingzhu.

It was all because of this brainless woman!

Seeing the murderous look in his eyes, Tang Qingzhu subconsciously shrank backward in fear.

Yet inwardly—

she was secretly delighted.

Now that the rumors had already spread throughout the capital, the Second Prince could no longer simply throw her away.

Chapter 1: Got Dumped on the Day of the Wedding

 Translator's Note Before we begin—I'll just take a moment of your time! 🌸 I know this is a bit of a wall of text to encounter before the actual novel, so I'll keep it simple: please take a moment to read this first so you know what to expect from this translation. After this chapter, you can happily skip these notes unless there's something new I need to mention. I promise I won't make you read this before every chapter. 😂 I'm sharing this translation simply because I translated this novel for myself, enjoyed it, and thought that perhaps other readers with similar tastes might enjoy it too. I'm a huge fan of quick-transmigration (快穿) novels, especially the kind where the protagonist is already extremely capable—or becomes overpowered very quickly—and gets to go through different worlds, counterattack, face-slap, and generally make life difficult for people who deserve it. I usually don't gravitate toward QT novels that focus heavily on favorabi...

Chapter 2: Does It Matter If I Am Gay?

When the male makeup artist heard Tang Wan’s words, he was immediately stunned. The others around him looked at him with envy, wishing Tang Wan would casually point at them instead. That was five billion! After a while, the male makeup artist finally reacted. His face flushed red as he asked, “Is it okay if I’m gay?” “It doesn’t matter if you’re gay or anything else. As long as you hold a wedding with me, the five billion will be yours!” Tang Wan said. “I agree!” he replied excitedly, nodding desperately. Tang Wan snapped her fingers when she heard this. “Okay! You guys, hurry up and change his clothes and fix his styling!” Hah! Did they really think she absolutely had to marry Sun Wu? Three-legged toads were hard to find, but there were plenty of two-legged men in the world! ... Hearing Tang Wan’s words, the others immediately got busy, pressing the temporary groom into a chair while applying makeup and changing him into a suit. Half an hour later, Tang Wan wor...

Chapter 4: Diablo 1

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately understood that this was a name given by the host, and the system had to accept it! Seeing this, she couldn’t help looking at Little Cutie dangerously. “Little Cutie, did you do that on purpose just now?” If she had agreed to call it the Daddy System, wouldn’t she have to call a little kid “Dad” forever? Hearing Tang Wan’s words, Little Cutie felt guilty for a second, but still said confidently: “I was originally called the Daddy System! I didn’t lie to you!” “I think it’s actually called the 88 System, right?” Tang Wan exposed him with a single glance. Upon hearing this, Little Cutie immediately stiffened his neck and said: “Yes! Doesn’t 88 sound like ‘Dad’?” Tang Wan was speechless. Did systems also play word games now? At that moment, Little Cutie was afraid Tang Wan would continue dwelling on the name issue, so he immediately urged: “Since the binding is complete, let’s head to the mission world now!” “Now entering the no...
