The Marquis' Wife
Li Yueyin's reunion and feelings

The next day, Adelia and Lu Xiang welcomed Xiaowen's arrival by inviting her to have breakfast together.

"Xiaowen!".

"Adellias".

The two hugged each other tightly, longing for each other. "Now you'll have a baby, congratulations".

"You'll follow too".

The two laughed cheerfully together then Li Jin introduced his younger sister to Adelia and Lu Xiang.

Li Yueyin was stunned to see the good looks of her brother's friend, her lofty height, field chest and charismatic elegant temperament made her instantly fall in love at first sight.

Li Yueyin's eyes did not blink looking at Lu Xiang who was only focusing on Adelia's smile until Li Jin mentioned her name.

"This is my only sister, her name is Li Yueyin, I did not expect that she was coming to Fucheng with Xiaowen. Sorry for not telling you before".

"You don't need to apologize to Li Jin. One or two people won't affect anything, and my wife will have an extra friend to talk to".

Li Jin smiled with relief.

"Li Yueyin, this is brother Lu Xiang's friend and his wife Adelia".

"Hello brother Xiang. Hello brother Adel, how are you?".

Xiaowen pulled the tip of her sister-in-law's clothes and whispered. "You must call them Mr. Lu and Mrs Lu".

The look on Li Yueyin's face changed

making facial expressions as if bullied by Xiaowen. "Sorry brother-in-law. I don't know, please don't be angry".

Both Adelia and Lu Xiang raised their eyebrows seeing Li Yueyin's attitude, it seemed like the relationship between the two was worse than they had imagined. Adelia knew that Xiaowen was not much appreciated by the Li family for not having children and she told her husband about it.

"It's okay. Also meet Lu Xiang's two sisters, Lu Cheng and Lu Shan, let's greet Ms Li" Adelia said. He could make sure that he would not get along with this little girl.

"Hello miss Li" Lu Cheng who had already seen Li Yueyin's movements greeted flatly but respectfully with a slight bow of his head.

"Hello miss Li" Sapa Lu Shan followed her brother.

"H-hi. Nice to meet you guys, sorry if you didn't buy souvenirs for you guys". The different response by Adelia made Li Yueyin feel a little awkward.

"It's okay Miss Li".

The slightly awkward atmosphere made Li Jin realize something strange but Lu Xiang immediately fixed the situation by taking Li Jin and his family for breakfast.

During breakfast, the two families talked about Xiaowen and Li Yueyin's trip. Although Adelia talked a lot with Xiaowen but she also asked Li Yueyin something about the girl not feeling ignored, no matter how the girl was a guest in this house.

Both Adelia and Xiaowen noticed Li Yueyin's humiliating mannerisms which often glanced towards Lu Xiang, the married man, the worse was his older brother's friend who wanted to help his family.

It made Xiaowen panic and look anxiously at Adelia, afraid that her friend was also aware of it. Although she grew up in a simple and naive-minded family, she was also a married woman and knew what the views of women who were attracted to the opposite sex were.

Xiaowen finally decided to talk a lot to Li Yueyin to distract the girl and then immediately say goodbye to Adelia after finishing breakfast and pulled Li Yueyin's hand.

"Yueyin, tell me are you interested in Master Lu? Your brother's own friend?! And worse, they've been kind enough to help our family!!".

Li Yueyin who was irritated at being pulled by Xiowen was stunned. He did not expect that his sister-in-law was aware of his feelings.

"Yueyin's answer?!!".

Xiaowen was stunned and stared in disbelief. "Do you know that Adelia is my best friend?! He's the one who helped our family's economy?! Do you know the consequences of your actions Yueyin!!". she did not want her career to be ruined just because her sister-in-law was not at all close to her.

"Why indeed? Brother Xiang doesn't have a concubine yet! I want to be Xiang's concubine".

"Yueyin!!!" Xiaowen shouted hysterically but she heard the sound of people's footsteps and immediately lowered her voice.

"You'll regret doing that. Master Lu had absolutely no desire to have a concubine. You think a village woman like you would interest her?! Not even a noble girl would make him change his mind!!". After living in Cheng city, he knew a little about the information about the Lu family before, the news about the man rejecting many applications that came to him still made some people remember him.

Li Yueyin's face flushed in embarrassment, she felt humiliated by her brother's words and wanted to shout out emotions but her brother walked into the house making her have to temper her anger.

"I'm going to go to the academy with Lu Xiang. You and Yueyin stay and be nice here, don't do anything that would bother Adelia's sister-in-law. You understood?".

"Yes my husband/sister".

"Sister. I'll drive you".

"No need, Li Jin just went to the academy instead of to a faraway place you don't need to drive him" Xiaowen immediately forbade.

Li Yueyin stomped her feet so emotionally. "I haven't seen Brother Jin in a long time. What's wrong with me driving my own brother".

Li Jin smiled wryly. He finally let his sister drive him outside the house even though Xiaowen tried hard to prohibit.

The three went to the main gate to see Adelia and Lu Xiang escorting Lu Cheng and Lu Shan onto the carriage.

"Sister Adel, I don't like Miss Li". Lu Cheng whispered, unconcerned under his brother's supervision.

Adelia smiled amusedly mixed with wryness. "You take it easy, he's 1000 years younger to compete with me. Adelia".

"What do you whisper?" Seeing his wife and sister who were looking strangely at him made Lu Xiang curious.

"No/secret" The two replied in unison then a funny laugh made Lu Xiang even more curious. He wanted to hug his wife but the arrival of Li Jin and his family made him undo his intentions.

Lu Cheng and Lu Shan left for the academy while waving at Adelia and Lu Xiang.

"Let's go" Lu Xiang stroked her hair and pinched Adelia's gnarled nose before parting.

Adelia glanced at Li Yueyin who was still looking at the carriage that had gone a long way and moved her gaze to Xiaowen who had an uncomfortable look on her face.

"Xiaowen, do you have time?".

"of course. Soon I will pick up a financial book, I will explain about the development of De Xiang's shop business". Xiaowen did not care about Li Yueyin and stepped away but the girl held her back.

"Sister-in-law. Can I join? I'll be home alone if you go".

"No Yueyin. I'll discuss business with Adelia".

"Sit's just a minute brother-in-law. Although you always ignored me but now I'm away from home and feeling lonely. I'm.." Li Yueyin clenched her teeth in annoyance then glanced with a hopeful look at Adelia to be given permission but of course Adelia did not follow her game path.

"Later in the afternoon we can go to De Xiang's shop next to him there's a pretty garden, you'll love it". Adelia nodded at Xiaowen and stepped away.

"Miss, it looks like there's a rabbit who wants to make a hole in this house". Said Lu Mei who had just stood quietly beside Adelia. That naive act can even be realized by anyone with little experience.

Adelia smiled in anguish. "He's just a hamster".

Lu Mei laughed funnyly, a hamster that was similar to a mouse. How low the value his master gave to Li Yueyin who was still snot.
