The Marquis' Wife
Rejection of application

The way that Lu Xiang did to reject the proposal of both the Jun family and the Feng family was to use his mother's name.

Lu Xiang said that his mother sent something before he died, by making Adelia his only wife because after all the things that the woman had done.

Lu Xiang was not only able to resist in a subtle way but also announced the kindness Adelia had done to her family so that she could succeed to date.

The rejection spread to people in the city of Fucheng, most of them praised Lu Xiang who was devoted to his mother so that he sacrificed his happiness to carry out his mother's will and praise Adelia who became the ideal wife that can be relied upon by the husband.

Lu Xiang did not care about the praise and focused on the unfavorable rumors regarding Adelia, thankfully no one was insinuating or insinuating Adelia from the rejection and she was relieved.

"That's the way you kept Lu Xiang a secret?" Adelia heard the rumor from Lu Mei chuckled happily, the reason it would be a powerful tool to reject the proposal that came later on.

Although the status of women is low in the eyes of men but mothers still have a special place to be respected, it may be a remedy for women under male oppression.

"Great master is so genius at thinking that way madam, after this you will not bother thinking of a way to reject the proposal". Lu Mei then recounted the reaction of many people who were mostly positive with passion, she really liked that in this house there was only the only woman she served.

"Mrs, Mrs Li came to visit". Lu Yan came to report.

"Oh yeah, let's get in. Lu Mei prepare snacks and tea". Adelia was so pleased by the arrival of her friend, yesterday the awkward situation because Li Yueyin made her unable to talk to the woman for long.

"Good mistress".

Xiaowen walked into the living room and smiled happily at Adelia. "Adelia I have good news".

Adelia's eyebrows shot up full of curiosity. "What good news?".

Xiaowen was so happy that she clasped her friend's hand. "Li Jin my husband! Got a job offer from Prefect!! From the Prefect directly!!".

"REally?!" Adelia was shocked and delighted to hear the good news.

"Yes, it's all thanks to you. Hahaha" Xiaowen even hugged Adelia enthusiastically.

"Hm?" Adelia thought of something and her eyes flashed.

"Li Jin said that he no longer continued the Hui-shih exam because he was unable to pass the exam and wanted to focus on working in Qincheng city. Today Prefect Zhong said that Lu Xiang accidentally told him about it and he was interested in appointing Li Jin in the administration section".

Adelia nodded and smiled happily.

"Lu Xiang hasn't told me yet. I'm glad your husband got the job. Congratulations Xiaowen!".

Xiaowen nodded hysterically. As the durian collapses upon hearing the happy news, he does not expect that he will not return to Cheng's city and begin a grueling drama with his mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

"Thank you Adelia. You helped me so much!!".

"Don't thank Xiaowen. Among friends there is no word of thanks, after all I am sure that the ability of your husband is the point of weighing".

Xiaowen was moved to hear the humble amusement of her friend, her smile slightly disappearing when recalling yesterday's incident at the restaurant.

"I'm sorry for what Li Yueyin did yesterday. I don't know what else to do with that girl".

Adelia recalled what Lu Xiang said and smiled gently. "It's not your fault, you don't have to apologize. After all Li Yueyin would not bother Lu Xiang again after yesterday's incident".

Xiaowen nodded in agreement but he was not happy. "You're right. Even so he really did not know what his mistake was and even changed other targets".

Xiaowen turned the eyeballs off guard and took a deep breath. "Now she wants to be the wife of young master Wang".

Adelia closed her amused smiling lips but in the end she laughed as well. "You're serious?".

Xiaowen laughed silly. "Yes, I feel good about young master Wang".

Adelia imagined Lu Xiang's friend who was annoyed by Li Yueyin and returned laughing amusedly.

"When are you coming home?".

"Two days left. Li Jin had to take care of the school stop at the Academy after which we just returned home".

Adelia nodded then remembered something. "Is Li Jin going to do a monument construction ceremony in your village?".

Juren scholars created from the village are so rare that the elders and village heads will build monuments to show off to other villages that there is Juren in their village.

It not only made a good impression on the mayor and other villages but raised the status of their villages to become villages that produced Juren scholars.

Adelia recalled that from the novel she had read earlier then asked Lu Mei. This tradition was established in the Murong Kingdom.

Xiaowen was stunned and nodded when she remembered that. "You're right, I forgot about that tradition, it looks like Li village will build a monument. Is your husband going to do the same?".

"I'm not so sure. Our circumstances are more complex than yours but if there's a chance Lu Xiang might do it".

Xiaowen simply nodded and did not ask any deeper, it was a matter that he should not interfere with.

The two then talked about the rumors circulating about the proposal that came to Lu Xiang and Xiaowen's temptation about it.

Elsewhere, Lu Xiang was getting survivors from his co-worker. From today he resumed work and even got a promotion to become an arithmetic teacher because of the existing title of Juren Xiao Xieyuan he achieved.

Although Pan Youfeng was envious, Lu Xiang's ability to be far above him made him have to accept that fate.

"Congratulations on your graduation and the degree you got. Now that we both have the same title, do you want to prepare for the Hui-shih exam together with me?" Wang Jiayou was pleased that the person who predicted that the title would turn out as expected.

"With senior pleasure". Because they have the same title, Juren scholars, he no longer calls them titles.

Wang Jiayou patted Lu Xiang's shoulder happily. "Just call me Jiayou, our age is not far away".

"Good Jiayou. Please guide you".

"I have prepared well for the day of the Hui-shih exam and have put together theories and notes that must be considered. Do you want to copy it?".

Lu Xiang's eyes slightly enlarged. "really? If you don't mind then I'll be very grateful to you Jiayou".

"Hahaha, I'm happy to have a colleague who will be leaving together for the capital". The two became increasingly familiar after the meeting.

Two days later, the day that Prefect Zhong and Lu Xiang's family were waiting for arrived.

In the morning, those who heard the news that the Emperor had sent messengers from the capital with heavenly mandates gathered beside the road to greet the delegation.

Lu Xiang and Adelia as well as her two younger siblings had also prepared to wait for the good news!.
