"Anything else?" Mo Liancheng ignored Mo Jingxuan and directly fixed his gaze on Qu Tan'er.
"How can I get you to allow me to leave the mansion? You must understand, today I must leave the mansion. There are only three choices in front of you: let me leave, give me a divorce letter, or..." Qu Tan'er's exquisite and beautiful face was solemn and decisive, without a hint of hesitation. She had an air of determination, ready to face whatever consequences.
If you can't succeed, then let it be a heroic end.
At the mention of the last three words, Mo Liancheng's usually indifferent eyes trembled slightly. After a while, his long eyelashes trembled lightly, and he slowly spoke, "If you want to leave, it depends on what you can do to make this prince agree."
"What do you mean by 'what I can do'?"
"What do you think?" Mo Liancheng raised an eyebrow in response.
"Let's be straightforward. Let's make a bet. I wonder if the prince dares to gamble?" Qu Tan'er suddenly smiled confidently. Seeing that Mo Liancheng didn't refuse, she continued, "Although the Eighth Prince's Mansion isn't large, it's not small either. You should know all the directions here with your eyes closed. I've just arrived, so I may or may not be familiar with this place..."
"Eighth Sister-in-law, what are you trying to say?" Mo Jingxuan curiously interrupted.
"Listen to me finish," Qu Tan'er turned to give him an eye roll, then turned back to stare at Mo Liancheng, saying, "Let's make a bet. If you can find me within a specified time, I won't bother you about leaving the mansion. However, if you can't find me, then please, kindly let me leave the mansion freely."
"Oh? Like that?" Mo Liancheng smiled faintly at her. He neither agreed nor rejected.
"What's wrong, is the prince afraid to gamble with me?" Qu Tan'er raised her chin, a challenging look on her face.
"This prince is afraid that you can't afford to lose."
"It's the prince who can't afford to gamble."
"Oh, since we're gambling, let's make it more interesting. If you lose, this prince will ask for something from you."
"What do you want?"
"The soul-suppressing pearl."
"Sure, fine." Qu Tan'er agreed without hesitation. However, after saying it, she felt something was amiss. She turned slightly, approached Mirror Heart, and asked in a low voice, "What is the soul-suppressing pearl?"
She had never heard of it or seen it before.
"Mistress, that's the treasured possession of the Qu Mansion, highly cherished by the Master." Jing Xin replied in a whisper.
Qu Tan'er nodded as if understanding.
However, as the young lady of the Qu Mansion, she didn't even know what the soul-suppressing pearl in her own home looked like. Who would believe it if she said she had it out loud?
"Mistress, what if you lose? We can't hand over the soul-suppressing pearl. We won't be able to find it, let alone steal it."
"Stop! Don't worry. I won't lose..." Qu Tan'er waved her hand, confident and composed, with a plan in mind.
"But..."
"You're too talkative."
"..." Jing Xin kept quiet and said no more.
At this moment, Mo Liancheng raised an eyebrow, looking at them with a smile that wasn't a smile, and said, "Well, have you reached a conclusion in your discussion?"
Qu Tan'er nodded, determined to make the bet.
"Fourteenth, are you free? If you have nothing to do, accompany your Eighth Sister-in-law to play a bit?" Mo Liancheng shifted his gaze, sweeping over to Mo Jingxuan, who had been watching the scene for a while.
"Me?" Mo Jingxuan was stunned, momentarily unable to react.
"What's the matter, any objections?"
"I dare not." Mo Jingxuan's handsome face fell, admitting his misfortune.
