The Marquis' Wife
Quarrels due to anxiety

After the visit of Miao Sheng and Li Yaoyao, Adelia and Lu Xiang's lives returned to how they had been. Lu Xiang returned to the academy and worked in the math division office while Adelia focused on preparing for the birth and occasionally instructed Lu Mei and Lu Yan in making wine or fruit jam.

During the harvest of this fruit, he took the time to multiply the making of wine and was not afraid mostly because it can be stored in the lotus space, he thought that he could not freely make wine during his birth and when he moved to the capital.

The days he passed by were quick and pleasant although the occasional Li Yaoyao showed her existence but the presence of the girl did not matter to him because the girl was so good at avoiding topics that he disliked after the tea offering happened the other day but the topic of the opening of the store in Qincheng was still discussed by Li Yaoyao because she still wanted a free recipe and of course Adelia always refused with reasons that could not be easy disproved.

Time went by quickly and did not feel Adelia's pregnancy period entering the final month and it made Lu Xiang to panic a little and prepare for the time of birth far away days even invited a reliable child shaman to stay in their home so there is no need to bother calling a child shaman when his wife gives birth suddenly.

Adelia walked funny and limped like a child who had just learned to walk because of her increasingly heavy and enlarged stomach, the sight made Lu Xiang and his two younger siblings become alarmed and become overprotective.

Lu Xiang even accompanied his wife to the bathroom and insisted bathing Adelia made the woman upset, resigned and moved by her husband's care and affection.

That overprotective even made Lu Xiang panic when he saw Adelia doing pregnancy yoga, especially when using a large balloon and sitting on it.

"You can fall down using this thing, I'll grab it".

The seizure made Adelia's patience at the top and she scolded her husband who was too overpotective and there was a one-sided quarrel. Adelia who was also frantically welcoming the birth of her child snapped and scolded Lu Xiang in a loud voice making Lu Cheng and the two maids shocked at never seeing Adelia so furious like this.

"I just want your safety, baby".

"But this is for my safety as well Lu Xiang. You do not know that yoga can launch the birth process! Ancient people like you know modern knowledge like that!!".

Adelia realizes that she has gone too far in arguing and chooses to be quiet. The two fell silent and drifted to each other's thoughts.

"I'm sorry if I'm an old-fashioned guy who doesn't have advanced knowledge like you. I'm just a husband who worries about my wife, sorry if that bothers you".

Lu Xiang left Adelia who was only fixated, some days the relationship between the two seemed to be away and felt foreign. They slept together but felt like there was a thick wall separating the two.

The situation made Lu Cheng and Lu Shan become panicked and agitated, they tried to make their two brothers' relationship back to its original state but there was no support from Lu Xiang and Adelia to make their plan fail.

Until finally, Adelia became unable to stand it and cried loudly to let out all her feelings of fear and worry.

"Lu Xiang, I'm afraid of giving birth. What if I die in childbirth?". The limitations of medical science and equipment make Adelia can not do a caesarean in this world, she became increasingly panicked when she heard the news that the birth process takes a lot of time up to days, he said, imagining the painful process made Adelia very frightened.

Lu Xiang hugged Adelia and realized that his wife harbored the same fear as him, he regretted ignoring his wife and was insensitive to what Adelia held in his heart.

"Nothing will happen, baby. You will give birth quickly and smoothly, the healer has said that our baby is not so big that I will complicate the process of giving birth, moreover, you also always take good care of your body and always drink lotus well water. It's something that other pregnant women don't have so you'll give birth faster and safer than they do".

Lu Xiang tried to comfort and calm his wife and repeated the words that everything was fine.

"Believe in yourself, baby. You are a strong woman and will give birth smoothly. We have also done the preparation carefully so that nothing will happen".

Adelia felt a little calm after hearing the long explanation from her husband. The anxiety and anxiety that has been running through the heart lately has slightly disappeared.

Yes, he has a lotus space and has drunk a lot of lotus well water, nothing will happen to him. If she continues to be anxious and afraid then maybe this fear is what makes her wretched during the process of giving birth.

The two hugged each other and tried to give each other energy and strength. They are just an inexperienced couple and do not have adults they can discuss, it is natural that anxiety and heartbreak hit the heart to make both of them afraid and do not know any solutions.

"Everything's gonna be okay, baby". Lu Xiang repeatedly said the word to calm Adelia as well as himself.

After taking out their respective hearts, Adelia and Lu Xiang made up, their relationship returned to normal and was even closer and deeper than before.

Lu Xiang and Adelia felt guilty, their quarrel also made Lu Shan and Lu Cheng uneasy and uneasy.

"We've improved Lu Shan. Sorry to worry you" Adelia stroked her sister-in-law's hair gently.

"Sorry Lu Cheng". Lu Xiang also apologized, the situation at home these two days must have been tense and awkward due to his cold war with Adelia.

Lu Cheng sighed in relief and shook his head. "I'm glad you guys made up, brother. Don't worry brother, everything's gonna be fine".

Lu Cheng is not very clear about what makes his brother quarrel but he believes that his two brothers will be able to get through with the problems they are facing.

"Thank you Lu Cheng" Adelia was so grateful to have a sister-in-law who was mature and like Lu Cheng and adorable like Lu Shan.

Later that night the two talked about many things like what Lu Xiang had been doing for the past few days and also guessed the gender of their child at birth and would look like who he was.

Lu Xiang and Adelia slept clasping each other's hands, wanting to feel like they were hugging tightly but the large belly that was almost time made the two unable to comfortably do so.

At midnight, Adelia woke up feeling her lower half was wet, she was surprised to see her wet thighs and her stomach started to feel pain.

"Lu Xiang!! I...I want to give birth!!".

Adelia screamed in surprise and shook her husband's body violently. The lightly sleeping Lu Xiang immediately got up and ran reporting to the maid to immediately call the child shaman.

"Don't panic, baby. All will be well, now take a slow breath and throw it away".

Lu Xiang then carefully carried his wife and went to the empty northern house and laid down his wife with great care.

Not long before the shaman came and immediately told the waiter to prepare water and all other preparations.

Lu Xiang walked back and forth restlessly, praying inwardly as he calmed himself.

"Sister Xiang. Is Adel okay?" The commotion made Lu Cheng wake up and know that Adelia was about to give birth.

"All will be well". Lu Xiang did not know what to answer and repeated those five words unconsciously.

His mind focused on Adelia who was enduring the pain. He was so shocked to hear the heart-wrenching hysterical cries of his wife.

Lu Xiang's hand trembled until he had to clench his hand to calm down.

Shouting for the sake of shouting seemed to whip Lu Xiang's heart so hard that he could not breathe. Time passes by very slowly and heavily.

Not how long the last scream sound so strong then the cry of the baby echoed until it sounded out.

"Great master, madam gave birth safely!!" Lu Mei cried haru, she was also very afraid if anything happened to Adelia.

Lu Xiang immediately went inside to see for himself if his wife was okay, he did not care about the tradition of forbidding men not to be close to women who were giving birth because the smell and sight of blood would make the man unlucky.

Lu Xiang's eyes were wide-eyed at the tragic sight before him!! His legs seemed to lose focus made him almost fall to his knees.
