The Marquis' Wife
Grandma Miao Lan

Adelia turned her head and was stunned to see the grizzled woman, her mind immediately appeared a name that was very familiar to the owner of the body she occupied.

His grandmother!!

The biological grandmother who always hit the owner of the body if he does not do the housework well. As the light in Adelia's eyes dimmed, she wanted a family but the one thing she hated most was the patriarchal family, there have been many sad and sad events that he has seen or heard from patriarchal families.

"Grandmother" Sapa Adelia lowered her face trying to hide her hatred.

Lu Xiang who had noticed the look on his wife's face caught the look of resentment. His eyebrows slightly raised.

Grandma Miao Lan stepped arrogantly and tried to take the biggest meat but Adelia's hand moved quickly to hold it.

"Don't grandma. We will sell this meat to repair the roof of the house that wants to collapse. Winter is coming, we'll die if we don't fix the roof"

"Allah! You have many reasons. I'm just taking a little why are you acting like I'm taking all this meat, do you want to defy your own grandmother?!" The shrill voice made people speechless but no one wanted to help Adelia, they just watched with pity, pleasure or cynicism.

"I beg you, Grandma, don't take it. How can we live if we don't fix the roof. What I did not give and do with my grandmother, all my grandmother's errands did, cleaning the house, washing clothes even in the middle of winter, I even work like a man to the rice fields. But this is not mine" The more he hated the old woman before him the more tears flowed down Adelia's cheeks but if he looked carefully, a flat and cold gaze emanated from the girl's eyes.

The citizens who heard that increasingly felt pity and looked strangely at Miao Lan's grandmother and the two sisters-in-law who were also present there. That gaze made Miao Lan's grandmother feel uneasy and even more furious.

"You are Lu Xiang's wife, Lu Xiang's treasure is also yours and you are also part of the Miao family, what's wrong with sharing it with us. To get married, you want to break off your relationship with the Miao family? You little girl of dissent!!" Grandma Miao pushed Adelia and picked up the biggest meat quickly.

"Who allowed you to take that meat?" A cold and low voice made Grandma Miao Lan's movements stop. He stared flat but his tightly clenched jaws and blood-filled body made him a devil out of hell. Very creepy.

"Do you want to steal my meat?" Asked Lu Xiang back.

There was a sound of gasping from the citizens. The era of the kingdom is different from modern times that have gender equality. In royal times especially in the Murong dynasty, the status of women is lower than men, do not rule out the possibility if the punishment for women is heavier than men. So all the female citizens stared in horror at Lu Xiang, because if the government had tried then the lightest punishment would be to be hit with a large wood 10 times.

Grandma Lan was also frightened but she tried hard and remained haughty. "What do you mean steal? Is it wrong for me to take meat from my own grandson?"

Lu Xiang smiled sinisterly. "Since I bought your granddaughter for 1 silver coin, she's not your family. Did the Miao family not have integrity just open their mouths without being accounted for? Was Miao Sheng like that in the academy as well?"

Miao Xu has two sons, Miao Heng who works in the city and Miao Sheng who is studying at the same Academy as Lu Xiang.

Miao Li has one child, Miao An, who also studied at the Academy but is of lower quality than Miao Sheng. The reputation of a scholar in the Academy is very influential on the status of students there, although someone is very smart if his reputation is bad then no teacher would recommend the very student to be able to take the state examination at the city level that the government held. Because Lu Xiang's words were so intense in the hearts of both Miao's grandmother and Adelia's sister-in-law, their expressions changed instantly.

"What is this storm?" The village chief who had just arrived after finishing business immediately asked after hearing the commotion between Lu Xiang and Miao's grandmother.

"This is the village chief. Lu Xiang did not give me meat, whereas Adelia was also part of our Miao family. What's wrong with sharing a little meat? She even wanted to imprison me without mercy" Grandma Miao immediately took the opportunity and explained in terms of her favor.

Village chief Miao frowned, staring disapprovingly at Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang laughed in annoyance. "Granny Miao. You're very good at turning facts around. I gave a quarter of the meat to the villagers from my own catch me and you got it too. But you're kind of loved to ask for a heart, to open your mouth and take the biggest meat".

Adelia tried hard to hold the throbbing on her lips. Just this time he saw a person who was not ashamed at all, he further lowered his face because he could barely control his facial expression.

"The number of our family is very large. What's wrong with us asking for more, do you want to break the brotherly relationship between me and my own granddaughter" Miao's grandmother replied.

Lu Xiang grew even more careless and impatient in the face of the thick-faced Miao grandmother. "really? I remember you saying that you and Adelia had nothing to do after she married me and the village chief's uncle was also present that day because it had not been a week"

Lu Xiang's cold gaze made the village chief Miao uncomfortable but he preferred to defend Miao's grandmother because the scholar Miao Sheng would take the city-level state examination soon. If he graduated then he would be called a baccalaureate or Sheng yuan. The young scholar received a land tax-free gift and an honorary degree, Sheng yuan, which was highly respected in the village.

"Lu Xiang, not that uncle would interfere in your affairs but that Miao's grandmother was no one else, she was Adelia's grandmother. There was no hatred overnight in the family, although Miao's grandmother said so but she also had a blood relationship with Adelia so it's okay if she takes more".

Lu Xiang's gaze was cold as if he wanted to pounce on anyone before him.

"So uncle, if in the future if someone in the village has food or more money, then they have to share it with others because of brother relations?"

Lu Xiang's question made the enthusiastic villagers watching shocked and changed their expressions, without doing anything they were also dragged into the debate. But what Lu Xiang said was true as well. Instantly the interested gazes watching them turned wary.
