The Marquis' Wife
Xiaowen and Li Yueyin reached Fucheng

"Your wife wants Xiaowen to stay at your house? How could Lu Xiang. I don't want to burden you" Li Jin immediately shook his head in disapproval.

"What do you mean burden me?, you don't think of me as a friend?".

"Of course I consider you a friend. But living in your house is too much, my wife is not only one or two days of stay. I don't want to bother you guys".

"We are not at all disturbed. We have an empty house that you can live in with your wife, after all Adelia also needs a conversation partner, she has no close friends who can be talked to without awkward".

The relationship with Qiao Xue stretched a bit after Liang Chenyue made trouble so his wife had plenty of time alone when he and his sister went to the academy.

Li Jin still hesitated. It would be helpful if his wife could stay in Lu Xiang's house, besides Xiaowen's safety and comfort also needed a friend so as not to feel afraid of living in a big city like Fucheng.

"You know that I will be leaving for Shu village with Prefect Zhong in a few days, Adelia must be lonely at home. I would be very grateful if Xiaowen could stay home and accompany Adelia. Don't turn it down, your wife is also awkward after arriving in Fucheng and has no interlocutors because you'll focus on the exam".

Lu Xiang is right. Li Jin sighed dispelling the uncomfortable feeling in his heart of having weighed on his friend and finally agreeing.

"alright. Thank you very much Lu Xiang".

"You don't have to thank me. That's what friends are for, isn't it?".

Li Jin laughed happily.

Two days later, Lu Xiang lent the horse carriage that Adelia was wearing to Li Jin to pick up his wife.

Since he could not pick up directly from Cheng's town, Li Jin deliberately gave money to his wife to buy female slaves in order to help and accompany her while in Fucheng.

But when he met his wife at the dock, Li Jin did not expect that his younger sister would be taking part.

"Why are you here Yueyin?".

"Sister! Don't you like seeing me? I even have to be willing to get seasick to be able to meet you" Li Yueyin sighed her lips and complained of being spoiled.

Li Jin smiled resignedly, he pinched his sister's dear nose. "Say you're curious about the city of Fucheng".

Li Yueyin stuck out her tongue with a cute expression.

"Are you seasick my wife?, are we staying here first and leaving for Fucheng tomorrow?".

"Sister. Why stay here again, just throw money away. We better go straight to Fucheng" Li Yueyin who answered the question.

Xiaowen lowered her gaze covering her discomfort. At first the mother-in-law agreed to buy a female slave to accompany her to the city of Fucheng but upon learning that Adelia asked her to stay at her house the mother-in-law changed her mind after Li Yueyin asked to come along.

During the run of the De Xiang shop business, brother-in-law and Li Yueyin always made it difficult and tried to control the store from him, it was fortunate that there was a manager Shi who co-managed the store because otherwise the portion of the percentages for him would definitely be taken as well by the two.

Li Jin noticed his wife's slightly paled face and went back to coaxing, he had more money because there was no need to rent a house so it didn't matter if he stayed one night.

But Xiaowen insisted that he was okay to make Li Jin resigned and finally decided to immediately leave again.

Li Yueyin cheered happily at the large and comfortable horse carriage that Li Jin was carrying, especially when Lu Xiao was being respectful towards his older brother. He thought that it was his brother's horse carriage.

"Sister. When did you buy this horse carriage?" Li Yueyin looked at the luxurious decorations in the carriage and grew even more astonished. In the car there is a cupboard storing books and food under the seats on the left and right, the soft seat makes him press the sofa several times.

"It's not mine but mine. You will stay at my friend's house while in Fucheng. So I hope you keep the attitude so as not to disturb their families".

Li Yueyin felt disappointed, she was weeping her lips riled up. "I know

I knew".

Li Jin let out a long breath. Being the only daughter in the house made her parents spoil Li Yueyin so that the girl grew up to be a jolly and spoiled yet slightly arrogant girl in her village. He hoped that his sister would know the consequences if he still behaved the same as when he was in the village.

Li Jin finally spoke to his wife, asking her what was going on in Li village and Cheng city until they arrived at the main gate of the large city of Fucheng.

Both Xiaowen and Li Yueyin who had never gone to the big city looked like villagers entering the city, they were amazed by the more luxurious artistic Fucheng city than Cheng city.

Strict supervision made the impression of the two grow in depth. The two of them were even a little afraid of meeting the gate guard officers.

Li Jin immediately paid the entrance fee of the city without giving Lu Xiao a chance. He does not want to have a lot of debt to his friends because it will make their relationship change.

The atmosphere in the inner part of Fucheng city was different from the outside made Xiaowen and Li Yueyin grow in awe until the horse carriage stopped in front of the Lu family residence.

"Welcome young master Li. Come with me young master Li, mistress Li and miss Li" Lu Fang greeted the Li family's arrival respectfully and then led them to the west house near the side gate.

"We've prepared dinner and warm water for young master and mistress Li as well as Ms Li. If you need anything, just call me or another waiter".

"Everything is enough. We don't lack anything, please tell Lu Xiang that I can do all this myself. My family has bothered Lu Xiang and brother-in-law enough".

"You don't need to worry young master Li. The great lord said that you are part of this family as well. So just think of this house as your own, if nothing else then I'll excuse you first".

Li Jin nodded, he was moved by Lu Xiang who had helped him and his family a lot. In his heart he promised to repay this debt someday.

Xiaowen and Li Yueyin who had never been served by someone before became awkward and unfamiliar yet deep in heart both felt greatly appreciated and felt moved. Especially for Li Yueyin herself, she did not expect that her brother's friend was very rich.

The three clean up and prepare for dinner. Li Yueyin looked around the house and was satisfied, although the house was not as large as her parents' house but the elegant and classy decorations and furniture were very different from her simple home.

Li Yueyin threw her fresh body onto the bed and sighed in satisfaction. Although a little disappointed because he did not see his brother's friend but he was very satisfied to be here.
