The Marquis' Wife
Grandma Miao Lan's arrival

Adelia returned to the store after successfully buying the store where she sold cakes and breathed a sigh of relief. At first he thought that he had to pay more than the store from the base price of 120 silver coins because it already had a reputation but he did not expect that the owner instead lowered the selling price to 100 coins silver, maybe because of Zhao Fan's name.

Adelia wanted to create a special side house for the servants. The increasing Lu Cai family made it difficult for them to sleep because they only had three rooms, one room in the back house and two waiter rooms in the cake shop, he did not want to lose because he built a house without owning the land and the building.

Adelia decides to recruit a manager because she is overwhelmed by having to be in the store and deliver lunch for her husband even though Lu Xiang says that the waiter who delivered the lunch was for her did not want to shorten the time of togetherness with Lu Xiang because of the intensity of her husband's learning.

Adelia is also thinking of learning to understand the difficult reading in this world because she wants to be able to read books about the kingdom of Murong and its politics.

Moreover, Lu Niang was surprised by his writing using simple language, namely the Chinese payment that Adelia wrote on the invoice bond and sales data compared to ancient Chinese that had not gone through the simplification process.

Adelia could also take her time to play with Lu Shan and Lu Cheng so she decided to manage the cake shop from behind the scenes.

"alright. Now explain your name and your work experience before deciding to apply here".

Adelia built a small tent beside the shop for the interview manager, she could not bring them home because there was no Lu Xiang.

The job applicants are only five people because of the little time about the announcement of the hiring of the cake shop manager. They go forward one by one explaining about themselves and their experiences until Adelia decides to choose a man in his 40s who has experience as a deputy restaurant manager.

"Congratulations to Uncle Shi and from today on you can work here" Adelia shook her hand with a smile and explained what Shi Shanxi should do.

Although confused about having to work that day, Shi Shanxi immediately arranged her feelings and heard everything Adelia said.

"It's an invoice bon to write proof of cake purchase and it's a customer data book. Uncle must write anyone who buys cakes and then give silver vouchers if they have bought 10 pieces of cake or immediately buy whole cakes".

Shi Shanxi nodded but became confused by the writing she did not understand.

"Uhhhh! Uncle does not need to put this into the report, uncle can make a report starting from uncle working in sales and financial report data". Adelia was embarrassed to write Chinese so that no one could read her writing.

"Uncle can give me a report every week and provide a new book to write the type of cake that is sold every two weeks".

Shi Shanxi nodded in understanding. "I will try hard so as not to be a burden to the mistress and manage the cake shop well. I was so amazed at the idea that the lady showed me from this beautiful and delicious cake, even the reputation of this cake reached the city of Qincheng".

Adelia smiles happily and proudly at herself who can make the reputation of the store she manages up to interlocal.

Adelia returned home to prepare lunch for her husband with a carefree feeling, he was now completely relieved that he was no longer busy with the cake shop but his sense of relief and pleasure was damaged by the report of his servant, Lu Fang.

"Madam, three women came and confessed that they were from the mistress' family, the Miao family. They made a fuss by asking for two whole tarts without paying".

Adelia's heart was heavy, neither cats nor dogs, and people she did not want always appeared before her. His eyes stared coldly and coldly, were it not for Lu Xiang, it felt like he was slapping them one by one so that he would no longer dare to meet him.

Adelia followed Lu Fang to the cake shop then closed her eyes after hearing the commotion from outside the store, she inhaled a deep breath of bright smiling, deep breathing, confronting a shameless person should be in a subtle yet deadly way.

You're the ones who asked me to ruin your own self-esteem.

Adelia ran over smiling. "Grandmother! You've come, how are you? You guys haven't visited me since I married Lu Xiang". He tried to reach Grandma Miao Lan's hand in a very slow motion so that it could be pushed aside easily.

And right, Miao Lan's grandmother still underestimated Adelia and thought that the girl was still with the owner of the body who was afraid to pull away her grandson's hand with a disgusted expression.

Ever since hearing that Adelia was managing a pastry shop for a long time she had wanted to come and ask the girl for money but Miao Sheng banned her because the shop owner was good friends with Xu's manager so Fuyuan's restaurant manager was supporting and protecting Adelia.

But when she found out that Adelia was the owner of the cake shop, she was furious and envious of the wealth that the girl had, she said, he had long heard of the reputation of the De Xiang store which was famous for its noble cakes due to its high price and was eager to have such a shop.

When it comes to Adelia's owner, the first thing Miao Lan's grandmother thinks of is draining and exploiting Adelia's wealth for her family. She thought it natural for her granddaughter to give her the money she had because she was the head of the Miao family other than her husband.

Miao Lan's grandmother invites Lien Hua and Li Mei to come to De Xiang's shop even though her son-in-law forbids her because there is no permission from Miao Sheng but is blind to the money he will have, he did not heed Li Mei's ban and even scolded the son-in-law who was not as thoughtful as him.

"Don't hold my hand!. I came here because I wanted to ask for two whole tarts for Miao Sheng and Miao An and money". Grandma Miao Lan was just an ordinary farmer's wife who had been in power for a long time in the Miao family, he did not know the name of any strategy and said what was in his heart especially to the grandson who always feared him and he underestimated.

Adelia accidentally falls and tries to cry. "Why does my grandmother still hate me? What's my fault, Grandma, just because I'm a woman?, but I was the one who helped a lot at home and in the fields before I got married anyway...".

"You okay, Adelia?". Li Mei immediately cut Adelia's speech when seeing the stunned people and looking suspiciously at Miao Lan's grandmother, her hands clenched tightly regretting nothing more harshly in forbidding Miao Lan's grandmother.

This old lady would destroy her son's reputation if he just let it go!!.
