The Marquis' Wife

Persuading Lu Cheng to learn

"From now on you work for this family. You have to obey what we tell you and stay loyal, the thing I don't like the most is betrayal and you know the consequences if you do that right?" Lu Xiang sat down to enjoy the tea and said slowly but very intimidatingly.

"We know and understand Mr. Lu" All the families knelt before Lu Xiang and Adelia.

"I'll give you a new name. Starting old, your names are Lu Cai, Lu Fang, Lu Lian and Lu Feng, you can stand up".

"Lu Tao's".

"I'm sir". A man of 40 years advanced when called upon, he was the gatekeeper and the house.

"Your job is to tell them what their job is and what the rules are in this house".

"Good sir".

Lu Xiang looked at Adelia who was silent, even though her face looked fine but he knew that the girl was not used to the dark life of this world.

"Come on Adelia". Lu Xiang extended his hand.

Adelia turned her head and looked puzzled but kept on complying. She was shocked when her hand was pulled and fell on her husband's lap, her slightly pale face blushing back.

"You...".

"It's Adelia's habit. I know you're a strong girl, you just need time".

Lu Xiang's words were like a cool breeze extinguishing the restless flames that were in her heart, Adelia smiled and hugged her husband without a word. The two hugged for a long time until Lu Xiang let go of the hug.

"I forgot to say that today I will go to Qincheng City".

"For what?"

Lu Xiang smiled. "Yesterday I got a letter from Sui's manager that the hawtorn pill was up and they intended to buy the recipe".

Adelia's eyes were shining brightly. "really?!".

Lu Xiang turned to a relieved smile then nodded. "They will definitely buy it at a high price".

"Hehe, if the recipe is sold at a high price then we will get a lot of money. Why should I use this money? Hm, new clothes? Lu Shan and Lu Cheng needed winter clothes and furry jackets".

"You also need new clothes, winter and spring clothes to take the exam and ah! Lu Xiang what do you think if Lu Cheng also went to school?". Adelia asked enthusiastically.

By the age of five, they had completed three years of study before taking a child or elementary exam.

Lu Xiang nodded in agreement. "But have you discussed it with Lu Cheng?".

Adelia's enthusiastic smile disappeared. "Did Lu Cheng not want to study?"

"I don't know, I've never asked him about studying and he didn't say anything about it either". Because both of them are both quiet and closed so rarely he and his sister talk about something especially about things that will spend money like studying.

"Then I have to ask Lu Cheng". Adelia wanted to stand up but a pair of burly hands hugged her waist back.

"Hei~ why are you leaving so quickly? What is this so-called sweet consumables as discarded?".

Adelia laughed funnyly at Lu Xiang's annoyed look on the face. "You're like little Lu Xiang, are you jealous of Lu Cheng".

"No, I'm just relieved that you're no longer awkward with me, you know? The matter last night" Whispered Lu Xiang in his wife's ear.

Adelia was stunned and her face flushed again from remembering the incident last night especially as she became soaked by her own dirty thoughts.

"I don't know what you're saying".

"Hm~. You really don't know? Do I have to re-describe what happened? Where should I get.."

"Lu Xiang!" Adelia snapped annoyed but unconvincing due to her blushing face.

"What'sthat?".

Lu Xiang showed his cheeks while smiling sexyly.

The face turned red, Adelia took a deep breath and then peeked at her husband's cheek quickly and then let go when Lu Xiang was off guard.

"I guess my husband asked to be kissed at aunty but it turned out to be on the cheek, what a pity~". Adelia stuck out her tongue and ran and laughed.

"Based on a bad girl, watch out tonight. I'll make you cry" Lu Xiang held and stroked his cheek as if he still felt the warm lips of the girl he loved and laughed happily.

"Lu Cheng's. Do you want to study like your brother?" After lunch, Adelia held Lu Cheng's hand and asked softly yet enthusiastically.

"No".

Adelia's smile collapsed instantly. "Why? Don't you want to be like your brother being a student?".

Lu Cheng was silent for a moment, the hand that Adelia was not holding squeezed her pants and then shook her head again making Adelia even more confused.

"Why don't you want to learn? Can you explain it to me?" Adelia tried to say softly so that Lu Cheng would not feel depressed.

Lu Cheng raised his face. "I want to help Brother Adel to sell cookies, I shouldn't use your money anyway".

Adelia was stunned and moved. "What you're saying, my money is your money too. We are family".

Lu Cheng shook his head. "I want to learn when I have my own money".

Adelia had to explain how she wanted her sister to learn. "But you must have knowledge if you want to earn your own income. For example, like counting, when you help me at the cake shop, the basic thing you have to have is the ability to count because the task of serving there is already a waiter who does it".

Lu Cheng was stunned and realized how important learning was. Adelia smiled at her sister's reaction. "So you have to go to school and study to get science".

"But I don't like school and meeting a lot of people". The large number of peers who insulted and mocked him made Lu Cheng an introverted and introverted personality.

Adelia frowned but could not find the right solution she looked at her husband who had noticed.

"I'll pay the teacher to come home. You and Lu Shan can study at home".

Adelia's eyes are shining. "Yes. We can hire students to teach you how to read and write".

Lu Cheng nodded in relief while Lu Shan who was cool with a light meal was stunned because he was exposed to the sap even though he was silent, he did not want to learn at all but did not dare to express his opinion when he saw Lu Xiang's gaze and looked down lethargic, even snacks no longer felt good in his eyes.

Finished discussing, Lu Xiang immediately called Lu Cai to go to the city of Qincheng, the sooner he left the sooner he went home, he did not want to spend the night in the city of Qincheng.

"Be careful on the road".

Lu Xiang nodded then pulled Adelia's hand and kissed her forehead. "I'm leaving".

Adelia nodded and waved her hand with a blushing face.

"Sister, why is your face flushed? Are you hot?" Asked Lu Shan with a plain face.

"Little children should not know". Lu Cheng pulled out his sister's hand to enter the house.

You're also a child, the inner Adelia speechless.

"Mrs! Madame. Something happened at the cake shop, something happened at the madam's cake shop. There are complaints that our cake has cockroaches in it!!".

Lu Niang ran in a hurry and shouted in panic.

Adelia's smile disappeared and stared coldly, the first thing she thought of was the Miao family!.
