The Marquis' Wife
Move-in preparation

After Adelia received a letter from her husband, she made the final preparations she had prepared beforehand.

Adelia knew that Lu Xiang would definitely become a champion because she knew so much information from the modern day that after her husband left for the capital, she had already started to make preparations.

"I'll close the store early next month. Do you want to come with me to the capital?".

Adelia sat and looked at her employees, they did such a good job that she did not want to let go and still wanted to hire them.

The men and women stared at each other and shook their heads. "Our family is in Fucheng mistress, we can't leave them".

"Well, I'll give you a triple salary bonus as a sense of gratitude for the good work you guys do".

Their faces turned to delight. "Thank you madam, you're the best boss we've ever seen".

"Thank you madam".

"We're so happy to work for you, madam".

They said their hearts were very grateful to work in De Xiang's shop, not only is the salary greater than other pastry shops but also the rewards done by Adelia make them feel so appreciated, they get benefits, bonuses and overtime pay, he said, unlike other bosses who only give a small salary and bonus.

Thanks to working at the De Xiang store, their lives and their families have improved and even some of them get engaged because of the income they get.

The employees were disappointed that De Xiang's shop would be closed but learned that Adelia and her family would move to the capital, although unwillingly, there was nothing they could do.

"Thank you for your hard work over the years, you also have a hand in making De Xiang's store famous". Adelia also knew that her employees were disappointed that she could no longer work in her shop but she could not hand over the store to others for fear that the recipe would be revealed and known by her many people.

Adelia could not give this store to Xiaowen as she did in Cheng city, she decided to no longer make new recipes while in the capital and wanted to be low key, he said, he had to be careful in the city of Shenyang because there was where the Emperor took shelter, the one who could kill others for no reason whatsoever.

"You exaggerated in praising us madam. We did nothing because the cakes and drinks sold here were more than enough to make De Xiang's shop famous".

"Yes, we are very lucky to work here".

Adelia smiled happily at hearing that as it signified that she managed to manage De Xiang's shop well together with Xie's manager.

Adelia also told the academy where Lu Cheng and Lu Shan studied that they would stop there because they would move to the capital.

Lu Cheng and Lu Shan were saddened to part with their friend, Lu Shan even cried hugging Jun Shi.

"I will miss you Jun Shi dearly, you should send me letters often yes, I will do the same".

"Your family moved to the capital, what about De Xiang's shop?!" Jun Shi's focus was on the sweet and delicious shop he could no longer enjoy.

Lu Shan's cry came to a sudden stop because he didn't expect his friend to miss tarts and parfait more than him!!.

"Of course Brother Adel will close De Xiang's shop!!" Lu Shan became emotional due to his friend's reaction.

"Yeah!! So I can no longer enjoy that soft and sweet tart and parfait cake?!! Why are you doing this to me?!!".

Lu Shan saw Jun Shi crying sadly as well, although the reason for their crying was different, both of them hugged and cried loudly.

"Are you going to miss me Lu Cheng? You're gonna miss me, right? I'll miss you too, huhuhu. We will be separated forever, I will never forget you your friend, you are the only one who does not get tired of hearing my babbling, huhuhu Lu Cheng, I have started to miss you".

Lu Cheng massaged his aching forehead hearing the loud cries of his three sisters and friends. Their cries stopped when the teacher entered the classroom and was confused to see the cries of the three students and became speechless when they found out the reason behind the cries.

Adelia sent five bottles of rosella wine to thank him after learning that Prefect Zhong would send 15 yamen officers of high martial arts to protect him on his way to the capital.

In addition, Adelia also began spreading news about the sale of shops and houses that she occupied on the condition that they would move in the middle of next month.

"So you're moving in next month Adelia? We've just been reunited but have separated again" Xiaowen is reluctant to part with Adelia because she's her only good friend.

"We can exchange letters, what about your pregnancy? You're gonna give birth in a month, aren't you?".

Xiaowen stroked her big belly then smiled happily. "Yes, I wish I would give birth to a boy like Baobao, it would definitely be so adorable".

"I hope so too". With a son, a mother has a backing in her husband's family.

"Aren't you thinking of opening a tart cake shop in Fucheng Xiaowen?".

"uh? Do you want me to run De Xiang's shop? No, I can't manage Adelia, De Xiang's shop in Fucheng is bigger and more complicated than in Cheng's city".

Adelia smiled amusedly. "No, that's not what I meant. My point is that after I close the De Xiang store, in the inner city there won't be anyone selling tarts, it would be best if you take this opportunity before anyone else".

Xiaowen was stunned then her face flushed a little embarrassed from being overconfident and thought that her friend would hand De Xiang's shop over for her to manage, he thought like that because Adelia had done that before so he immediately thought in that direction.

"Hows it? Are you interested? If you're interested I'll help you find a strategic store but the rent isn't too expensive".

Xiaowen was silent for a moment and then replied. "I'll discuss it with my husband first, you know for yourself that now I can't travel anywhere".

Adelia nodded in agreement, her countenance turned puzzled when she saw the sad, riled and reluctant expression of her friend.

"You why Xiaowen? Are you having any trouble?".

Xiaowen let out a long sigh as if wanting to throw away all the unpleasant feelings in her heart. "Mother-in-law is coming to Fucheng".

Adelia came to understand, life without a mother-in-law who is always looking for problems is very pleasant and will be difficult to return to the original situation.

"Your mother-in-law came to take care of you giving birth later, didn't she?".

"Yes" Li Jin was very worried about her condition when giving birth later because he did not have parents who had experience, even though they had bought two slaves but his own family was more comfortable than others, that's what her husband thought.

"But the problem is that Li Yueyin and her husband also want to come to Fucheng".

!!

Li Yueyin is married?! Adelia heard nothing from her friend about the girl who always focused on her husband.
