The Marquis' Wife
Information of honorary degree

"Sa-honey..".

Adelia smiled and extended her hand. "Let's go home, baby".

Lu Xiang confirmed that Adelia's expression did not show any suspicion or sadness at meeting women without her knowledge and was relieved.

He did not want his wife to misunderstand and become a rock that hampered their household but it seems he was too parno.

"Good darling. Let's go home".

The two went down to the first floor and met with Li Jin and Xiaowen. Lu Xiang nodded his head to his friend and said the room where Li Yueyin was.

They boarded the carriage and stayed on the way until Lu Xiang could not bear it and hugged Adelia.

"Darling, are you angry?".

Adelia was silent for a moment and then nodded. "I'm angry but not at you. I'm mad at that damn girl who still dares to go after the man that belongs to me".

Lu Xiang was stunned, only this time he heard a possessive statement from Adelia, his heart pounding and feeling excited because the expression showed that their love was just as great to each other.

"Good work in rejecting Li Yueyin" Adelia was overjoyed to hear the cruel words from her husband, despite sounding psychopathic, he does not need a man who is generous to anyone's girl just because he does not want to hurt them.

It's all just nonsense and the reason he thinks so that men can feel the ego as if all is in his grasp.

"Hehe, are you happy about my rejection? What if you pay him back with a gift?".

Adelia laughed funnyly at the perverted look of her husband, she poked her hand against Lu Xiang's neck and kissed the thick lips.

A wet voice with a cluttered tongue could be heard in the carriage making anyone flinch when they heard it until Adelia relented and released a kiss.

Kissing with a big belly is so exhausting. Adelia's face turned red looking at Lu Xiang's passionate face as well as feeling the sharp object that was her lower abdomen.

"How do you know I met Li Jin's sister, dear?". Lu Xiang tried to distract him from the lust that started to creep into his body, they were where they shouldn't be.

"Lu Cai told me that".

"Ah~. Alright. I'm glad he reported it to you, I thought that the meeting was not important at all to tell but I was wrong. The slightest thing can cause problems if we underestimate it".

Lu Xiang realized that if this meeting was rumored by others to Adelia with the intention of provocation even though it was now not a problem but in the future it might be the key to destruction.

Lu Cai who heard from outside breathed a sigh of relief, he was actually afraid when he reported it but seeing his master's special and special treatment to the madam made him bet and lucky he won.

Li Jin and Xiaowen went up to the second floor and entered the meeting room between her friend and sister under the guidance of the restaurant waiter.

The two of them looked at Li Yueyin who was still curled up hugging her body which was no longer shaking.

Seeing someone enter, Li Yueyin gasped and became scared back, her eyes were greatly relieved to see her own brother.

"Sister Jin. Huhuhu, I'm so scared brother. Lu Xiang is terrible".

"Sister Jin, Lu Xiang wants to sell me if I become his concubine. I won't want to be that guy's concubine anymore sister". Li Yueyin clasped tightly onto her brother's sleeve, the flowing tears making the girl's face a little messy.

During his stay at Adelia's home in Cheng, he had heard and even seen a man selling their daughter or concubine because of financial conditions or other problems, at that time the response was only cynical to women who begged not to be sold. But now when it was likely that it would happen to her, she was as terrified as the woman was. 

Li Jin and Xiaowen were stunned then relieved, apparently Lu Xiang tried to resuscitate Li Yueyin that concubines were not as easy as one thought.

"You won't be Yueyin's concubine, I won't let that happen. With my status you will be the honorable wife of the student or the man of the scholarly family" Li Jin comforted his sister.

"really?"

"Yes, of course. Your brother is now Juren so I'll find you the husband of Fu's student, you'll be honored there for the title I have".

Li Yueyin was silent for a moment then fell happy and wiped her tears away. "What if I become Tianjin's sister's wife?".

Li Jin and Xiaowen were shocked. Their younger brother was apparently not deterred and kept looking for trouble!!.

Wang Tianjin who was on his way back to the academy felt shivering and had a bad premonition that he himself did not know.

"I'm going home Yueyin".

"Why not answer my question, brother?".

Li Jin felt a headache in the face of his sister. "Why are you after your brother's friends. They all already have fiancees despite not being married Yueyin, stop looking for trouble and now we go home!!". 

He wrongly thought that his sister was aware of all the mistakes he had made, Li Yueyin was completely unaware of the subject and was only afraid because of Lu Xiang's threat!. He regretted not telling his mother not to take the girl to the city of Fucheng.

Xiaowen looked one eye at the naive girl before him, Li Yueyin was truly a selfish stupid girl who thought nothing of the repercussions on her brother due to his actions. He regretted not insisting on forbidding his mother-in-law to bring Li Yueyin to the city of Fucheng.

Both Li Jin and Xiaowen no longer persuaded Li Yueyin and returned to the inn, both of whom thought about returning to Cheng city as quickly as possible and no longer wanted the girl to be here.

Adelia held a small party at home and gave the servants a bonus as a celebration of Lu Xiang becoming Xiao Xieyuan, that of course made the servants very happy and repeatedly congratulated and thanked him, the atmosphere in the Lu residence was full of warmth and harmony.

"Darling, I got word from the Prefect that the Emperor would send someone to preach the good news and give me an honorable title!". 

Lu Xiang was very surprised to hear the news, even though he had expected it but still it became such amazing news!. An honorable title from the Emperor directly, his career when passing the hui-shih exam later went smoothly if he received direct attention from the Emperor.

Adelia closed her mouth in disbelief. "really?!! The Emperor actually bestowed that honorific title on you Lu Xiang?!!".

Lu Xiang laughed happily at his wife's reaction, he hugged Adelia happily. "Yes darling. The emperor will bestow honorary titles on me!! Our family will become even more respected, no one else dares to look for trouble with you because of the support of the Emperor". 

Gaining the support of the sky-owner of the Murong kingdom was something everyone dreamed of but only a handful got it.

"Good darling. You finally got that honorary title!! I'm so proud of you" Adelia hugged her husband so enthusiastically but her smile slowly disappeared when she thought of something.

"Getting the Emperor's attention also meant being the focus of the princes right? What if you get into the mud of the throne and become a scapegoat?".

Lu Xiang was stunned, he did not expect that his wife could think of such a possibility!.
