The Marquis' Wife
Waiting for test results

Today was the day of the announcement of Sheng-shih's test results, the examinees and others were waiting at the teahouse or restaurant close to the Prefect's office so as to make the atmosphere bustling like a festival.

Lu Xiang also invited Adelia to go to Fuyuan's restaurant near the Prefect's office and asked her friend to take her to accompany Adelia, being at home constantly will certainly make Adelia tired and bored so that occasionally going out and eating at restaurants will make his wife's mood better.

Li Jin also invited Xiaowen to go together and leave Li Yueyin at the inn, he did not want the incident the other day to happen again.

"Fuck!"

"Xiaowen, let's sit down" Adelia was so happy to see her best friend again, since the matter of Li Yueyin Xiaowen who felt guilty did not meet him again and only sent letters even though the distance where they lived was not so far away.

Li Jin and Lu Xiang joined the other friends who were on the first floor to wait for Lu Cai to see their exam numbers.

"How are you?"

"I'm doing fine. You how? I heard what happened about Liang Chenyue, are you okay?"

"Yes, I was lucky to avoid it" Adelia then told her chronologically about what Liang Chenyue had done to her.

The story made Xiaowen shocked and shut her mouth, Liang Chenyue was so cruel that she wanted to poison Adelia that she and her womb died.

"How could anyone do such a thing" Xiaowen muttered unexpectedly.

Adelia just shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know what that woman was thinking either. What will you do when you get home? You know that Li Yueyun will report this to your mother-in-law".

Little does Adelia know about the character of Li Jin's sister so that she worries Xiaowen.

"I've talked about it with Li Jin, he said he would explain about Li Yueyin's treatment of the mother-in-law so that the mother-in-law would not be angry with me" Although Xiaowen smiled but he did not believe himself to be scolded by the very patriarchal mother-in-law.

Adelia clasped her friend's hand. "You have to be patient in dealing with all this, maybe something happens and make this situation better".

"Yes. I hope so too. But something good did happen to Adelia".

"Oh Really?!"

Xiaowen approached and whispered. "I'm pregnant too".

Adelia's eyes grew. "Happy Xiaowen!! How many weeks has it been?"

"Almost four weeks, I didn't expect that because a few days ago I was sick and the healer said that I was pregnant too".

"Wow, I'm so happy to hear the news. That is indeed something very good, once again happy Xiaowen, may your child be born healthy and adorable"

Xiaowen laughed funnyly. Since staying at the inn, he was always bullied by Li Yueyin who was upset because his goal was not achieved but still he did not stay silent and fight but the situation made him uncomfortable and the mood became bad every day.

She wanted to go to Adelia's place to pour out what she thought and calm herself down from Li Yueyin but she did not want her husband's sister to use that excuse to return to take the opportunity to meet Lu Xiang, he knew that his sister was increasingly obsessed with being Xiefu Lu's wife.

Especially when something bad happens to Adelia, Li Yueyin hopes that her friend will die to give her a chance. It made Xiaowen afraid and frustrated to finally fall ill, but did not expect that she was pregnant. Maybe that's the news that treats all the worries of his heart.

"Hehe~ with this I have a little status in front of the mother-in-law".

Adelia gave a small smile, she felt sorry for Xiaowen and the other women who had to use the fetus to get a place in her husband's family and at the same time felt lucky that Lu Xiang's family did not have a mother-in-law, although it sounds cruel, but that's what Adelia thought. He could not imagine having to live like his friend who continued to be in the shadow of his mother-in-law.

Adelia and Xiaowen talked about a lot of things about anything that interested them. They didn't realize something was happening on the first floor.

"This wine is not as good as your wine Lu Xiang. When I get home later, please give me two bottles of wine huh? I'll buy it for my mom and dad. She must have liked it".

"You don't have to buy it".

Chen Xirang nodded in disapproval. "I have to buy it because it's a gift for my parents".

"What are you going to do next Chen Xirang? Do you want to go to school again?". Ask Wang Tianjin. Sheng-shih's next exam will be held three years later so as to have sufficient preparation to take the next exam.

Chen Xirang was silent for a moment then shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know yet, I haven't discussed this with my parents. But it looks like I'm getting married first".

All his friends were choked by the drink because it was so shocked.

"W-are you getting married?!" Song Yuan asked in disbelief.

Chen Xirang smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "My mother sent me a letter that my father received a proposal from the Ling family in Qincheng city, their second daughter so maybe soon I will get married, goodbye my true single friend".

"No!!! How could you betray and marry first Chen Xirang!!"

Lu Xiang and Li Jin laughed seeing Song Yuan's disappointed and annoyed faces.

"Whether to marry, my intuition tells me that I will fail this test".

Although the second session exam he successfully passed and was safe, but he was at the bottom so he was not sure that he would pass this exam.

"Don't despair so. Perhaps you will graduate, believe in yourself" Zhang Yunlei tried to console but had no effect on Song Yuan.

"Hahaha, we are indeed true friends if you fail comrade" Chen Xirang patted his friend proudly on the shoulder made Song Yuan even more desperate.

"What if we go to the ban house..."

Chen Xirang's words were interrupted when he saw a neatly dressed and beautiful girl appear in his eyes.

Not only Chen Xirang but also Song Yuan and Wang Tianjin who were sitting on one bench, the three looked towards the girl then looked at Li Jin and Lu Xiang.

"Li Jin's...".

Li Jin felt strange by his friend's gaze and looked back, his gaze becoming flat looking at his sister who was smiling at him.

"Sister, I'm bored at the inn so I came here..." Li Yueyin glanced at Lu Xiang who turned her head then refocused on her drink.

"Li Yueyin's..." Li Jin woke up and wanted to pull his sister's hand back to the inn but Lu Xiang's words made him stop.

"Here's a lot of people, give your sister a table of her own. After the announcement you can talk to him".

Li Jin circulated his gaze and looked at the few scholars who were staring in astonishment at him and Li Yueyin. He took a deep breath and ordered a bench for his sister because there was no more empty table.

He knew that he could not take his sister to the second floor where his wife was because he did not want to make Adelia uncomfortable.

"An announcement is out! The announcement is out!!".

Some information seekers shouted to tell, the scholars who took the exam became enthusiastic and anticipation of the news that would be brought by the waiter or information seeker.
