The Marquis' Wife

Wang Jiayou's Decree

After the Qionling party, the Jinshi scholars who did not live in the capital returned to their hometowns to pick up their parents, wives and families, including Wang Jiayou. Emperor Murong gave leave before entering work in the capital's government for a maximum of 1 month as some Jinshi scholars came from distant provinces.

Lu Xiang received a letter from his friend, Wang Jiayou who said that he was going home to pick up his mother and sister to stay in the capital, their family no longer had a father so he did not calm down leaving his mother and younger brother living in Fucheng alone.

Lu Xiang let out a long sigh, receiving a letter from his friend indicating that Wang Jiayou would not be close to him anymore because of the problems that happened at the Qionling party, he understood the choice of his friend. He and Wang Jiayou were not close friends and had only met shortly while in Fucheng so it was only natural that the man did not want to take the risk by staying close to him and making Murong Xianting and Murong Xianxian did not like it, if he was in Wang Jiayou's position then he would also do the same.

Lu Xiang could do nothing, lying would happen if he was not disappointed but everyone chose their own path, he considered that his relationship with Wang Jiayou was just an ordinary friend and could not continue any further, although he understood but the actions of his friend still caused a gap in his heart.

If he could choose then of course he did not want to reject the offer and offend Murong Xianting but choosing the Emperor was better than hoping for Murong Xianting who he knew had questionable character.

"Wang Jiayou sent you a letter?". Seeing her pensive husband see the letter in hand, Adelia asked to make sure.

Lu Xiang nodded slowly.

Adelia hugged her husband trying to comfort him. "Don't be sad Lu Xiang. You'll make better, loyal friends again. Believe it!".

Adelia learns of what happened to her husband at Qionling's party and because of that, Jinshi scholars who wanted to build a relationship with Lu Xiang suddenly withdraw and act as if they did not know her husband. Although he was angry and disappointed because of their attitude but he also understood their decision.

Lu Xiang was silent for a moment, he was not so sad when he lost the friend he wanted to deepen their friendly relationship because Wang Jiayou and himself had only been close when traveling to the capital, the capital, maybe it's a test to hone her to be able to choose a better friend but seeing the worried face of his wife, his eyes shine as fast as lightning so Adelia can not catch the sneaky beam.

Lu Xiang tightened his arms and drowned his head in his wife's chest, knowing that if he kept quiet then Adelia would definitely try harder to comfort him.

Maybe he could look for a chance in narrowness!.

And true, Adelia grew saddened to see the expression of her husband who was disappointed at the loss of a friend he thought could be a good friend. She kissed Lu Xiang's shoulders and cheeks and kissed her lips to try to comfort her husband, who had always asked for rations but refused because he was still upset about the drunkenness a few days ago, she thought maybe her husband would be happy again after venting his emotions in bed.

Adelia did not see the end of Lu Xiang's curved lips rising, however, the two made out without lust just expressing their feelings through the gentle fondling but the longer Lu Xiang got more aggressive and deepened their kiss.

"Hmmph" The sighing sound spewed out from Adelia's lips made Lu Xiang even more happy and proud, his hands crawling down and playing with soft and chewy bumps before coming back down to prepare for his wife.

Since the food was in plain sight but could not eat it, Lu Xiang lost control and played the passionate game with a fast rhythm and ******* three times until the exhausted Adelia pulled the long hair of her husband with her hand that was about to lose strength.

"The heart's claim" That's what Adelia muttered before she was unconscious.

Lu Xiang chose a 2-week holiday before entering the public works ministry office, even though the Jinshi who are in the capital will usually start working for a week after the Qionling party as they want to make a good impression in their workplace and build connections with colleagues faster yet there is no harm in taking half of the leave that has been set.

Lu Xiang decided that because he wanted to be with Adelia at all times before he was preoccupied with work and went to court meetings at the palace. Court meetings were held every day unless the Emperor was obstructed and had important affairs, as the distance from the inner city to the forbidden city was quite far, officials who attend court meetings usually have to leave when dawn has just shown itself and working in the public works ministry will definitely be overtime if there is a lot of work so that time with his wife is not so much.

The decision was supported after he rejected the offer of the third prince so that people would certainly keep their distance so as not to be exposed to the problem, although he entered work faster it would not make a better impression in the eyes of colleagues and their bosses because of the impact of what happened at the Qionling party so for what he struggled and fomenting his leave just to give his prospective colleagues a chance to signal to him?!.

Lu Xiang's daily life became regular, joking and making out with Adelia, looking after and communicating with her son and giving tutors to her two younger siblings.

In between that, he was also looking for information about the child academy that Lu Cheng and Lu Shan would attend because Lu Cheng's science was already close to maturity and could make recommendations to the academy's teachers to be able to take the examination child or elementary examination so that the academy should be sought as soon as possible.

"You want to go to the store, baby? I'm companions".

"I want to come too!!" Lu Shan who just stayed silent and studied at home was bored.

Lu Cheng did not say anything but his establishment showed the same intent.

"alright. What if we shop? We haven't been shopping together for a long time".

"Good/agree!!". The three brothers answered loudly.

The little family left in a horse-drawn carriage. Adelia saw her shop changed after a week of artisans renovations, the first floor of which she divided into three sections, one for several tables arranged in parallel, one long chair lined with cotton shaped like a sofa another row of ordinary chairs. The second section is for workers such as cash register tables, glass cake tables and cabinets and long tables for making drinks while the third section has a small stage where drama shows and theaters are held.

On the second floor, by himself, Adelia still chose the design of her old shop, which is some VIP rooms that are more soundproof because they use thick wood cold even though it is not comparable to the soundproof design in the modern world but it is quite satisfying in this still growing age.

Inside the VIP room was a large table and several soft chairs, the cupboard contains a type of cake engraving stained with oil paint to make it look more real and some of the famous story books and poems and crystal glasses that he has from the modern world are used as accessories the store.

"Honey, this crystal glass should not be shown".

Lu Xiang's words made Adelia stunned.
