The Marquis' Wife
The shameless Liang family

Liang Kun and his two children stood up when they saw Lu Xiang and just sat back down after the couple sat down, showing the highest honor.

"Sorry we came early in the morning Xiefu Lu. I hope you are not disturbed by our arrival".

Lu Xiang only smiled slightly, he took the warm tea and gave it to Adelia as if only the two of them were in the living room.

"Oh yeah, I heard that Liang Wei is friends with you? He never told me so I know now". Liang Kun who was always a businessman had used to put up a thick face when negotiating was not affected by Lu Xiang's silence.

Lu Xiang looked at the grimacing Liang Wei then turned to Liang Kun who was still smiling widely, his lips pulsing speechless. "Of course we're friends, he's my academy friend".

"Hahaha, Liang Wei grew up spoiled by uncle and uncle's wife, so uncle apologized if he was still childish at all times. Liang Wei simply could not express her feelings well". Liang Kun was trying to make the past that Liang Wei did to Lu Xiang was only limited to the nature of children who did not need to be taken away.

"Now apologize to your friend Liang Wei".

Liang Wei stood up and bowed low. "I'm sorry for what I still do to Lu Xiang". He became obedient after getting a slap from his father, despite the hatred bubbling in his chest but Liang Wei kept trying to calm down and think about the future of his family.

Lu Liang again only responded with a smile that did not reach his eyes, while Adelia laughed skeptically making Liang Kun awkward and Liang Wei feeling humiliated but he tried hard not to show on his face.

"Don't mind me, you guys go ahead". Adelia said she was still trying to hold back a silly smile from Liang Kun's words.

The happy expression of the middle-aged man was almost cracked by Adelia laughing "Before, uncle introduce uncle's daughter, she is the most liked girl in his family name is Liang Xinxin, she is 14 years old. Say hello to Xinxin".

"It's good to see you, Brother Xiang, it's good to see you, sister Adelia". Liang Xinxin stood up and slightly bowed respectfully with a trembling crisp, revealing her mesmerizing curves.

The expression of the outspoken seduction made Adelia who was drinking tea choke on a skeptical rank.

"Are you okay, baby?" Lu Xiang immediately helped calm her down by gently rubbing Adelia's back.

"It's okay, I'm just not careful in drinking tea" Adelia smiled brightly but the tip of her eyes looked at Liang Xinxin with a cynical look.

Bitch, you're 10 years younger taking Lu Xiang's attention away from me.

Xinxin who saw that squeezed the handkerchief while maintaining a charming smile on her face.

"So what does the arrival of brother Liang mean early in the morning here? You can't possibly just reminisce about Liang Wei's past right?" Lu Liang became careless in serving thick-faced old men like Liang Kun.

Xinxin put on a sad face as Lu Xiang did not glance at her in the slightest. "Xiangge (brother Xiang)~".

"Please call me Xiefu Lu Miss Liang. I don't want anyone to misunderstand me thinking that I know you" A very different cold gaze when looking at Adelia made Xinxin sculpt.

Xinxin did not understand why Lu Xiang was staring so coldly at her, she included the notoriously beautiful girl in Cheng city and many men who wanted to get engaged to her so she was so confident that she could conquer Lu Xiang's heart and make her father proud of her but the bitter reality made him fixated on not being able to think anything.

"Lu-Lu Xiang, uncle came here because he wanted to apologize for Lu Lian's incident, uncle didn't know that the girl was a servant of your family. Liang Wei helped the girl from the thugs who did no good and instead Lu Lian gave the recipe to Liang Wei". Seeing that his plan was not going well, Liang Kun immediately changed his stratagem.

"Uncle did not expect that Lu Lian was a runaway slave from your family Lu Xiang, if uncle knew then uncle would have returned Lu Lian to you that very night" Liang Kun paused for a moment to see Lu Xiang's still cold reaction.

"Haa~even though uncle does not know but still uncle feels guilty so uncle wants to pay for the cookie recipe information. Uncle doesn't want your close relationship with Liang Wei to be ruined just because of that little slave". Liang Kun overflowed all the blame on Lu Lian who was no longer in this world and made the impression that he was eager to maintain that non-existent relationship.

"How much did Brother Liang pay for the recipe? My wife lost a lot of profit because of the cake shop you opened, she even cried sadly for not being able to pay her servants". Lu Xiang's smile widened, he already knew the intention of his wife who wanted to auction the recipe for tart cake to business people, he would make the Liang family as a new springboard for his wife's idea.

Liang Kun's smiling lips pulsed making his expression become strange. He took out a money bag and placed it before Lu Xiang. "It's 10,000 silver coins, uncle is so guilty of madam Lu that he wants to give all the money he's got".

Adelia's eyes shone, she immediately grabbed the money bag and smiled sweetly. "Thank you so much uncle, with this money I can pay the servants".

Reaction different from what he expected made Liang Kun freeze for a moment, he did not expect that Adelia did not know the word humble and did not care about her husband's reputation as a scholar.

Liang Kun glanced at Xinxin with the tip of his eyes, his son immediately understood and smiled brightly.

"Adelia jiejie, may I visit you once in a while? I was so nodding that I had a lot of brilliant ideas that no other woman had". Seeing that the seduction stratagem had no effect on Lu Xiang, Xinxin changed the target of the probe. People say ala like it because it is ordinary, he can definitely melt the heart of Xiefu if he meets several times with him.

"Can't".

The Liang family was surprised at Adelia's reply.

"Why jiejie, what.. Am I not worthy to be friends with you? I just want to have a little chat because I want to be a great woman like you. B-but if jiejie doesn't want to then me. I..." Xinxin was crying bitterly and unable to continue her words, she secretly glanced at Lu Xiang seeing the male's reaction, but she was unable to continue, he believes men do not like jealous and unkind women like Adelia who is outspoken in expressing her heart.

Adelia started to lazily play words with the little girl. "I'm pregnant and pregnant women often have unstable moods, I don't want to hurt you with my words that are in a bad mood. Babe~ I'm hungry~". Her words not only showed off that she was pregnant with Lu Xiang's child but also showed off her husband's affection which was only for her.

"Let's have breakfast, baby. Brother Liang, I apologize for having to end our meeting. Thank you for paying for my wife's tart recipe, it can compensate for my wife's loss, I hear you're a good businessman and I feel it now". The praise containing the subtle innuendo made Liang Kun grimace.

Lu Xiang led Adelia to go to the dining room regardless of the reaction from Liang Kun and his family.

The subtle expulsion made the Liang family inevitably have to leave, although Liang Kun did not succeed in pushing his daughter to Lu Xiang but at least what mayor Li ordered he had done.

Shortly after the departure of the Liang family, news about Adelia who wants to sell recipes 3 types of cake tarts and cupcakes and recipes for making liquid chocolate 3 days more, he said, spread to all ears of business people who are in Cheng city, both those who live in Cheng city and business people who are traveling business from out of town.

The reaction of all business people is the same, namely responding positively to the news. They had long been interested in the prospect of Adelia's most unique tart business in Murong Kingdom and had long wanted to make the venture their own if only Xu and Juren Zhao Fan's managers didn't being the backing of Lu Xiang's family.

Therefore, when hearing the news, business people are flocking to raise money to be able to buy the recipe. Although they could not sell it in Cheng city, they could sell it in other cities even in the capital because of the backing of influential families there.

The announcement made business people smile broadly but not with the Liang family because they could no longer monopolize the cake business in other cities, they even fear the angry reaction of mayor Li because he can no longer maximize profits if he competes with many other business people.

Previously, Liang Kun had promised to open stores in several small towns that are still included in the district of Qincheng city and will provide 50% of profits for the mayor of Li but now let alone divide the profits, to patch up the money he spent alone maybe he could not afford because he could only operate in a small town in the district of Qincheng city.

The shadow of his gains taken by others made Liang Kun almost faint due to high blood pressure.
