The Marquis' Wife
Sleep Together

Lu Xiang who was changing clothes was stunned to hear the door opening and stared interested in Adelia's reddened face. The girl he saw now was different to the one he had seen a few days ago before being forcefully married to him. Adelia is now more jovial and confident than she has seen and heard about the girl.

"You don't want to come in?" Lu Xiang deliberately linger in changing clothes because he wants to see the reaction of his new wife.

"I... Me" Adelia's voice choked, seeing Lu Xiang still waiting, she ventured to enter.

"I.. Where am I going to sleep?" Finished asking Adelia cursed herself for her stupid question.

Lu Xiang smiled a faint smile and wanted to tease Adelia "There is only one bed here. You want to sleep on the ground floor?"

"Uhh!" Adelia who realized that she was being teased speechless and immediately went up to the bed and lay facing the wooden wall.

Lu Xiang continued to change his clothes and lie down to make Adelia's body freeze for a moment but she tried to calm down and tried to sleep. The fragrance of the soap left her stunned for a moment before slightly bringing herself closer to Adelia's neck to ensure that the fragrance she smelled.

Lu Xiang's eyebrows shot up, the small bed made the two sleep tight and since he never smelled the smell of soap made his sense of smell more sensitive, moreover, he did not smell the same fragrance when Adelia lay sick.

Although strange, Lu Xiang did not think deeply about the fragrance he smelled and thought that it was Adelia's body odor.

"From now on, you'll live with me"

Without any cue Lu Xiang started his conversation. Adelia's body was tense again, she did not turn around and waited for the continuation of her husband's words with the same position.

Lu Xiang did not mind Adelia's attitude. He took a breath and continued his words. "You know for yourself that my family is very poor and we depend on two paddy fields and hunting for life. Sometimes you may eat less and other things but if you don't complain and live with me then I won't leave you"

Slowly Adelia's body softened, she turned her body and looked at Lu Xiang. "I don't mind our situation right now because I'm used to it".

Lu Xiang thought that Adelia was used to living under the pressure of her family so that poor conditions meant nothing to her but what Adelia meant was that she was used to living a poor and makeshift life when she was still small in the modern world.

"It's good that you think so. But I don't want you to keep helping your family. First because we live second half because your family doesn't care about you so no matter how much you help them, your family will never appreciate it"

Adelia's gaze became one because it remembered the Miao family's treatment to the owner of the body. He nodded. "I know, I'm married now so I'm no longer related to the Miao family" After all, he was not the owner of the body that was directly tied to the Miao family so he had no psychology with the family.

Lu Xiang sighed in relief, it is not that he does not want his wife to be out of touch with his family but he knows that the Miao family will make his family restless because they are very happy to look for problems and benefits regardless of the feelings and fate of others.

"I'm glad you think so. It's night, let's go to sleep" Lu Xiang closed his eyes.

Adelia also closed her eyes, conversing with Lu Xiang made her tense body relax. It was just that he thought about what would happen would definitely still happen.

Both are fast asleep waiting for tomorrow which will be better.

Adelia woke up and found that Lu Xiang was no longer beside her. He wakes up and moves his body to relax his muscles.

"Good morning" Sapa Lu Xiang who was preparing the items and breakfast supplies that he would bring to the city.

"Yes. After selling these wild boars, I'll buy rice and kitchen spices"

Adelia opened her mouth wanting to say something but did not so because of the thought of Lu Cheng and Lu Shan. She wanted to go with Lu Xiang but she knew that her husband had no money for the cost of taking the train that was going to the city.

"Be careful on the road" Adelia escorted Lu Xiang all the way to the courtyard of the house.

Lu Xiang nodded "I'm leaving".

Adelia smiled strangely as this was the first time she had escorted men to work. This strange feeling made him feel uncomfortable but at the same time he also looked forward to the strange feeling again.

"Sister Adel. Where's Xiang's brother?" Lu Cheng walked up to Adelia while rubbing his still sleepy eyes.

"You're awake. Wash your face after this we'll have breakfast. Lu Xiang went to the city wanting to sell the boar he caught yesterday"

"Oh yeah. I forget, later Brother Xiang will bring home the money" Just waking up to make Lu Cheng's mind walk normally made him act friendly in front of Adelia but a second later he realized his childish attitude and cleared his throat like an adult.

"I'll wash my face" Lu Cheng ran into the kitchen.

"Don't forget to wake up Lu Shan" Warn Adelia to make Lu Cheng's way faster.

Adelia shook her head looking amused.

Finished eating him, Lu Cheng and Lu Shan decided to go in search of wild vegetables and edible fruits while looking for firewood twigs.

He felt ashamed if he continued at home while Lu Cheng went out to make a living for him.

"Hey, I guess you're still very sick. It seems to have healed"

The sound of a girl's nose makes Adelia's eyebrows rise, she turns around and sees the girl wearing nice clothes but carrying a wooden bucket containing clothes that have been washed.

Adelia smiled flatly. "Thank you for your attention Miaomiao. You've washed your clothes, are you with your sister-in-law?. I didn't see it"

Miaomiao's grin instantly disappeared. The Miaomiao family is also patriarchal but not as bad as the Adelia family because he and his older brother each have their own duties. But after her sister-in-law became pregnant for several months all the housework fell into her hands making her dislike the weak attitude that her sister-in-law deliberately showed so that Adelia's words hit her right in her heart made her his breathing went up and down holding in anger.

Miaomiao snorted riled then passed by not wanting to argue with the annoying girl anymore. Adelia only smiled with a grin but was stunned to see Lu Cheng and Lu Shan staring at her.

"If you're older, don't look for a wife like Miaomiao. Your house will be noisy"

"Humph! I was a kid. I don't want to think about it, let's go" Lu Cheng pulled Lu Shan's hand and then stepped away from Adelia.
