At the beginning, Wen Niang\u2019s parents did not want her to marry Liao Qingge until they learned that in the Liao family, their members could only take concubine if they turned forty and yet still have no children.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the Liao family had no money, they didn\u2019t allow the taking of concubines . . . How many men in this world could do without concubines?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Afterward, father and mother Wen finally agreed to marry their only daughter to Liao Qinghe. But fearing that their daughter would be wronged, they gave her dowry, just at the bottom of her box there was more than two hundred thousand silver.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wen Yingniang then married from Minnan Province to Hexing Province.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She had thought that the days after she got married would be very beautiful, but in fact, it was just the opposite.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liao Qinghe insisted on marrying Wen Yingniang, but father and mother Liao didn\u2019t like Wen Yingniang, a merchant\u2019s daughter. Originally, they wanted Liao Qinghe to marry an official\u2019s daughter.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Liao Qinghe insisted that Wen Yingniang had a large dowry, so they agreed to the marriage.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although they agreed, they didn\u2019t like Wen Yingniang very much, so they naturally found fault with everything about her, and did not let Wen Yingninag have authority within the family.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wen Yingninag put up with it at first, but then father and mother Liao became more aggressive and tried to arrange a concubine for Liao Qinghe; a concubine could only be taken if you were childless for a woman to be considered concubine.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wen Yingninag who couldn\u2019t stand it anymore and finally confronted father and mother Liao. As a result, from that time on, Wen Yingniang\u2019s reputation started to grow worse and worse.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Liao family didn\u2019t have much money, so they relied on her dowry in order to live a good life. But they still took turns accusing and slandering her outside. Wen Yingninag was dissatisfied in her heart and was no longer willing to let father and mother Liao to establish the rules.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this way, father and mother Liao became even more disgusted with her. Liao Qinghe also thought she had done too much and was too unfilial.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wen Yingniang\u2019s heart turned bitter, but she could only lay low for the time being until her relationship with Liao Qinghe improved. But then she actually found that Liao Qinghe frequented a flower house . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wen Yingniang couldn\u2019t help herself and made a scene again. They weren&#8217;t even married for one year at that time!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Liao Qinghe didn\u2019t think he was in the wrong for going to a flower house, and others also didn\u2019t think he did anything wrong; it was only Wen Yingniang that acted unreasonable.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since then, the relationship between Wen Yingniang and Liao Qing was no longer like it used to be. At the same time, Wen Yingniang\u2019s reputation got worse and worse.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At first she wanted to explain, but then she simply let it go and even began to break the jar. Anyway, her reputation was already bad so when Liao Qinghe dared to go to the flower house, she even dared to break in and take Liao Qinghe out!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wen Yingniang and Liao Qing have been married for ten years, and her love for Liao Qinghe has almost been eroded by the constant bickering. Her only regret was that she has never had a child, and this only made her reputation worse.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Married for ten years without a child was just and she did not let Liao Qinghe get close to others . . . She was really a jealous and poisonous woman.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Wen Yingniang\u2019s heart was also bitter, the doctor said that her body was very good, so she didn\u2019t know why she couldn\u2019t get pregnant till now; even the medicines she took every day had no effect . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first time she saw Zhao Jinge, Wen Yingniang also went to see the doctor.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, not waiting for her to cure her body to give birth to a child, Liao Qinghe unexpectedly brought back a woman named Lu Luan this day, saying that she was pregnant with his child and wanted to take her as his concubine.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wen Yinniang was dumbfounded.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After so many years, she was not as angry as before about Liao Qinghe having another woman, but the child . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People from the Liao family only knew how to spend money and didn\u2019t know how to make money. When she married, they not only had not much money, but they also owed a lot of debts to other people. Currently, it could be said that the whole Liao family was supported by her dowry.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If she had a child, even if it was just a daughter, she had the means to give all her money to her daughter as a dowry, but she did not have a child!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing Liao Qinghe say that the child that would be born and would call her mother, Wen Yingniang immediately exploded.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She didn&#8217;t want a child that didn\u2019t come out of her belly! She was even more unwilling to use her dowry to support someone else\u2019s child!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, Wen Yingniang also knew that after ten years of not being able to have a child, they most likely would not be able to have any.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In that case . . . was it possible that her money would be given to the child in Lu Lan\u2019s belly?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She was so furious that she wanted to drive Lu Luan out. But as a result, Liao Qinghe asked the maids to protect Lu Luan and stop her as he ran outside.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These servant girls all got their money from her hands and relied on her support. They used to listen to her every word, but since Liao Qinghe spoke, they all surprisingly stood on Liao Qinghe\u2019s side and protected that Lu Luan that came from nowhere.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That was . . . thinking that she was unable to have children, they wanted to curry favor with their little master and future mistress in advance?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wen Yingniang got angrier and angrier when she thought about it, so she grabbed the horse to catch and whip people with her whip. But she was stopped by Jiang Zhen.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYingniang, get off the horse,: Liao Qinghe also advised. \u201cIf you admit your mistake, I will not pursue what happened today . . . Yingniang, after the baby in her belly is born, you can take over and raise it . . .\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWho would want to raise this woman\u2019s child?\u201d Wen Yingniang asked angrily. This Liao Qinghe wanted her to raise other people\u2019s children but also say she was taking advantage. That was just too ridiculous!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYingniang, this is my child!\u201d Liao Qinghe said, then started to call out subordinates around him. \u201cYou guys help the madam down from the horse and take her back to the house to rest . . .\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The subordinates of the Liao family quickly went towards Wen Yingniang.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The horse was pulled by Jiang Zhen and surrounded by people from the Liao family, so Wen Yingniang had nowhere to run even if she wanted to.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing that the person who once treated her respectfully, saying \u201cMadam\u201d were now not taking her seriously, Wen Yingniang became furious. She leapt off the horse, sneering at Jiang Zhen. \u201cYou are very good . . . This feud, I will definitely ask for it back on another day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it wasn\u2019t for this man, would she have fallen to this point?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wen Yingniang was very angry, but Liao Qinghe was very grateful toward Jiang Zhen. If it weren\u2019t for Jiang Zhen, Wen Yingniang might have already gotten rid of the child in Lu Luan\u2019s belly . . .\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMadam Liao,\u201d Jiang Zhen suddenly said, \u201cI can understand your anger, but I think you should find the right culprit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wen Yingniang was stunned, could there . . . be something else?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was your husband who had someone else outside and had a child with someone else. It had nothing to do with those maids. As for this woman . . . can she even force herself on your husband?\u201d Jiang Zhen said, \u201cThis is your husband&#8217;s fault, you should not hit others.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wen Yingniang was confused again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiang Zhen put the whip in his hand into Wen Yingniang\u2019s hand. \u201cWhy should a woman make things difficult for another woman? If I were you, I would definitely beat up the person who dares to wrong me first!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Edited by: Faro<\/p>\r\n<p>Proofreader: Xiao Hua<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>However when she was fifteen or sixteen years old she fell in love for the first time with Liao Qinghe who came to study in Minnan Prefecture, and he also fell in love with her at first sight.
