Every year when the Wen family gave gifts to Wen Yingniang, they would bring a batch of pigeons from Minnan to Fucheng. These pigeons were kept in Fucheng, so if there were any news about Wen Yingniang, they could immediately release a pigeon to send her family the information.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This time ,Wen Yingniang got divorced; for such a big event, they immediately released ten pigeons to send back the news.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When Wen Ming got the news, he immediately came to Fucheng without any delay.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When he arrived at Fucheng, he looked for Wen Yingniang but couldn\u2019t find her. He asked around and learned that Wen Yingniang had come here, so he hurriedly prepared a gift and also came.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wen Yingniang didn\u2019t know that her family kept pigeons in Fucheng, so she couldn\u2019t tell what she felt in her heart for a moment. \u201cFather and Mother\u2026they don\u2019t blame me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cMaster and Madam are angry, but they don\u2019t blame Miss.\u201d Wen Ming said, \u201cThey only said that they will definitely not spare that Liao Qinghe, and they wanted to assure the young lady that they will definitely find a better person for her.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wen Yingniang\u2019s eyes became misty and she almost burst into tears but held back in the end.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wen Ming was brought inside and Jiang Zhen chatted with him, only to learn that he was the son of the Wen family steward, and currently worked as a steward for the Wen family.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cHow much do you sell the Wen family\u2019s sea-worthy ships for?\u201d Jiang Zhen directly asked. He helped Wen Yingniang for this reason, so he didn\u2019t hide this point. He also didn\u2019t think that he had anything to hide.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe Wen family has many kinds of ships. Depending on the size of the wood, the price differs. Master Jiang had better go and see for himself. If Master Jiang wants to buy, I can help you make a decision and offer a 10% discount,\u201d Wen Ming said with a smile.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The price of the big ships was not cheap, so a 10% discount was definitely a large sum of money. Wen Ming being able to decide such a matter surprised Jiang Zhen a little.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Of course, this was also good for him, so he just said, \u201cThen thanks a lot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zhao Mingzhu\u2019s first birthday banquet was a complete success.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Because there were many things going on in Fucheng, the next day, Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge went back to Fucheng along with Wen Ming and Wen Yingniang.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It was a day\u2019s journey from Hexi Village to Fucheng, so on that day, Jiang Zhen and Wen Ming had a good chat, letting Jiang Zhen admire Wen Ming a little.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This Wen Ming looked ordinary and even a little weak, but he had been to sea many times. Whether it was east or west, he found new traveling routes for the Wen family and negotiated a long-term porcelain business.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It was precisely because of this that he had such a high status in the Wen family, and currently, he had an even higher position than his father who was steward for the Wen family. Had it not been for this, he wouldn\u2019t be able to promise selling Wen family ships to Jiang Zhen with a 10% discount.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Jiang Zhen was impressed while Wen Ming was a bit shocked by Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen unexpectedly knew some Western and Oriental languages and also knew a lot about their products!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

From where he had learned these things was not very clear, but if he said that he just overheard it, Wen Ming would suspect that he was a demon.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Jiang Zhen was not very clear about the specific situation in the east or west, so he inquired about it to Wen Ming. As for the things he knew, he said he learned it from a person he had done business with at sea.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wen Ming didn\u2019t doubt it and answered Jiang Zhen\u2019s questions patiently.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cBoss Wen, many thanks.\u201d Jiang Zhen sincerely thanked Wen Ming. What he had learned from Wen Ming was very precious to him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cIt\u2019s me who should thank Master Jiang,\u201d Wen Ming said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI don\u2019t seem to have done anything.\u201d Jiang Zhen looked at Wen Ming in confusion.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cMaster Jiang helped my young lady. If it hadn\u2019t been for Master Jiang, I don\u2019t know what would have happened to my young lady,\u201d Wen Ming said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

According to what he learned, if it hadn\u2019t been for Jiang Zhen, Wen Yingniang probably wouldn\u2019t have left the Liao family, and if she hadn\u2019t left\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Wen family\u2019s father and mother were really concerned about Wen Yingniang. At first, they were unwilling to see their daughter get divorced. But if Wen Yingniang did not leave the Liao family, they wouldn\u2019t have known about Liao Qinghe taking a concubine and having a child. By the time they would have known of it, there would be nothing they could do.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Then how could Wen Yingniang live in the future?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cYou like Wen Yingniang?<\/span>\u201d<\/span> Jiang Zhen suddenly asked. Wen Ming seemed a little overly concerned about Wen Yingniang and was probably interested in her.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cMaster Jiang, be careful <\/span>of what you say!\u201d Wen Ming was surprised and immediately said that he was only a servant of the Wen family and wouldn\u2019t even dare to think about Wen Yingniang. If those words were heard by others, they would be harmful to Wen Yingniang\u2019s reputation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAre you married yet?\u201d Jiang Zhen asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI am at the sea all the time, so I haven\u2019t gotten married yet.\u201d Wen Ming answered. According to his status, he could have married one of the Wen family maids early, <\/span>but he spent more time at sea every year than on land. When he did make it to land, he did not always end up in Minnan, so he never got married.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Even so, there were many who wanted to marry him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWhen you meet someone you like, be bold and chase them so you won\u2019t regret it later,<\/span>\u201d <\/span>Jiang Zhen said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cMaster Jiang, you are thinking too much,\u201d Wen Ming said with a smile.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It wasn\u2019t long before Jiang Zhen and his group came to Fucheng. As soon as they arrived, they heard the news.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Liao Qinghe had already gotten betrothed to the daughter of a scholar and was about to get married.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Less than ten days after divorcing his wife, Liao Qinghe was getting married again?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When Wen Yingniang decided to divorce, she had already intended to make a clean break with Liao Qinghe and did not feel it was a pity. However, since learning that Liao Qinghe was going to get married, she felt a little uncomfortable.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She and Liao Qinghe had been husband and wife for ten years; even if their feelings for each other had worn off with time, she still cared about him. And yet, only a few days after their divorce, Liao Qinghe was getting married to someone else.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wen Yingniang was glad that she had chosen to leave, but she still felt some loss.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, she felt so for only for a short period of time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cScholar Liao should have divorced Lady Wen and married someone else a long time ago. It would be better than being married to a lioness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cDo you think that Lady Wen is feeling very regretful now?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cShe definitely regrets it. She is such an old woman and can\u2019t even give birth, so even if she was given to others as a concubine, no one would want her.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

. . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

On the docks, someone was talking about Liao Qinghe and Wen Yingniang.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wen Yingniang, who had a short rest in the tea house near the dock, heard all kinds of gossip from those people, so her face was as black as the bottom of the pot.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

What did she have to regret? She didn\u2019t have to support that Liao family anymore; she was happy!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The sourness and resentment at the beginning turned into anger almost instantly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wen Yingniang was even angrier when someone recognized her. \u201cIsn\u2019t this Madam Liao? No, no, you\u2019ve been divorced. You can\u2019t be called Madam Liao anymore.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cMadam Liao?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWen?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

People looked at Wen Yingniang, some in sympathy while others with irony.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wen Yingniang only felt that she was filled with anger, so she just sneered. \u201cI really didn\u2019t expect that there would be a woman so stupid as to marry Liao Qinghe. To become a mother before she even got married and then to use her own dowry to fill that hole that is the Liao family after she got married\u2026. Tsk, I even feel a bit sorry for her.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAs for Liao Qinghe, he is just something I left behind and no longer want. Whoever likes him can pick him up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wen Yingniang turned around and left and immediately gave an order to one of her servants. \u201cYou go and find out what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

What\u2019s going on? Wasn\u2019t it already clear?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Liao Qinghe wrote a lot of poems, so there were still many people who appreciated and loved him. After he divorced his wife, naturally, some people were willing to marry him, and even more people were willing to marry their daughters and granddaughters to him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As for why he was in such a hurry to marry . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Without Wen Ying, the Liao family was in a mess and had no money, so they naturally wanted to find a woman to marry in and take over the Liao family\u2019s mess.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It was said that Liao Qinghe, at first, wanted to marry Lu Luan, but Father and Mother Liao did not agree.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Lu Luan was not a daughter from a good family. Although she was perfect for Liao Qinghe,\u00a0 Father and Mother Liao did not like her. In the situation before, they protected the baby in her belly rather than her.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Liao Qinghe\u2019s divorce made Wen Yingniang\u2019s reputation even worse, but at the same time, the Liao family\u2019s reputation also got a lot worse.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Because of this, the Liao family couldn\u2019t wait to have some happy event like a marriage to make people forget the past. Liao Qinghe even wrote a poem for his new wife who had yet to pass the door that praised her to the heavens.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

For a while, everyone was talking about the Liao family, and everyone was sympathizing with Wen Yingniang.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wen Yingniang, who was handling the things taken away from the Liao family, once again felt the sympathetic gaze of the people around her and suddenly looked at Wen Ming. \u201cYou said before that my parents can find me a better one?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cMiss?\u201d Wen Ming was startled.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThere is no need to find a better one. Who knows if in the end I will step into another mud pit?\u201d Wen Yingniang scoffed. \u201cBut\u2026can you help me find a handsome man? I want a man who will marry in!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n
