Chapter 146.2 - Rumors In The City
When Wen Ying Niang cried with joy, Wen Ming who just learned of her pregnancy froze.
He paused and turned his stiff neck to look at the servant girl: “So, Yingniang she is fine?”
“Answering my lord, madam is fine but since she is pregnant she should rest well.”
“It’s good that she is okay. . .” Wen Ming took a deep breath and was not as anxious as before: “You go back and take care of madam!”
Just as Wen Ming spoke, Jiang Zhen come over: “What happened?”
“It’s a happy event . . .. . . Master Jiang, can you let me into this garden?” Wen Ming could not hold down his excitement anymore.
“Let someone inform people inside and then you can go in.” Jiang Zhen said as he sent someone into the garden to notify others.
In fact, even if I ran into a woman it wouldn’t matter so he made such a rule because he was afraid that someone would be disrespectful to their women after they went in.
Someone immediately went in to announce it, but at this time, Wen Ming suddenly looked at Jiang Zhen: Master Jiang, a few days ago, you built a dock by the sea, didn’t you? Can you let me join you?”
When Jiang Zhen was rejected before, it was not because Wen Ming did not want to leave the Wen family but because he didn’t think it was necessary.
The wealth he has now was enough for him to spend for the rest of his life so why would he bother going to sea and risking his life to make some money? He also didn’t have kids.
It was very hard to be the sea merchant, and life at sea wasn’t good. It would also take few months to come back if you went out so naturally, he didn’t want to do business with Jiang Zhen at that time.
Due to this mentality he thought he might as well spend more time with Wen Yingniang.
But now, Wen Yingniang was pregnant.
The one in Wen Yingniang’s belly was his own child so now he had to always think of this child too.
“Of course you can.” Jiang Zhen agreed without hesitation, not surprised at all that Wen Ming would choose to do so.
He used to think that parents didn’t need to leave too much for their children because it would only spoil them. But when he had a child he didn’t think like this anymore.
Especially since Zhao Mingzhu was a daughter, which makes him worry even more.
Jiang Zhen and Wen Ming briefly exchanged a few word when they were told that they could enter the garden. But as a result just as they took a few steps in, someone else came rushing out.
This time, the one who ran out was the ger child Ruo’er, who was always beside Zhao Jinge.
“Ruo’er, what’s wrong?” Jiang Zhen frowned a little worried.
“Master! Madam he’s pregnant!” Ruo’er immediately stated in surprise when he saw Jiang Zhen.
Jiang Zhen also became stunned.
While Jiang Zhen and Wen Ming were more happy than surprised, some people were not.
They only felt angry.
Madam Zhang and the others that had just taunted Wen Ying Niang, also heard that Wen Yingniang’s face looked unwell because she was pregnant.
This Wen Yingniang was nearly 30 years old so her body not being able to stand the discomfort was quite normal but. . . How could Wen Yingniang be pregnant?
These people, just like Wen Ying Niang before almost immediately thought of that Liao Qinghe.
Since Wen Yingniang could have a child but has been childless before it was most likely because Liao Qinghe has a problem . . . As for the woman in the Liao family who was pregnant with a child, they couldn’t be sure whose baby it really was.
It was no wonder that even though Liao Qinghe had many women in the past he hasn’t had any children, it turn out he was the one with a problem. . .
The people who were on Madam Zhang’s side before were now all looking sympathetically at her.
At this moment madam Zhang hated her husband who haphazardly betrothed her daughter, but she hated even more Liao family and of course she also hated Wen Yingniang.
While she was greeting her teeth, Madam Zhang suddenly saw Wen Yingniang coming out of the house.
People around her looked in high spirits and even a bit happy. Even Wen Yingniang although still tired, felt much better.
She was surrounded by the maid as she went outside and saw madam Zhang.
“Madam Zhang keeps telling others that they can’t lay eggs but she doesn’t know that it’s your daughter’s turn to do it!” Wen Yingniang smiled.
Madam Zhang’s face darkened but not far away Wen Ming laughed light – his young lady, was so cute.
Jiang Zhen didn’t laugh as he took a few steps forward and came to Zhao Jinge: “Jinge, how do you feel? Is there anything wrong with you?”
“No, I’m fine.” Zhao Jinge immediately said he was fine, he felt quite well and not uncomfortable at all.
When Jiang Zhen heard Zhao Jinge say so he sighed with relief, but was still unwilling to stay here any longer: “We will go back first.” Who knows if someone might bump into Zhao Jinge here? He heard before that there were people targeting Wen Yingniang?
Wen Ming also said: “Let’s go back first.” While saying that, Wen Ming also asked his maids to surround Wen Yingniang so no one could hurt her.
They soon left, and madam Zhang who watched them leave, walked out without saying a word.
A woman carrying a baby for less than three months would not normally publicize it, but news of Wen Yingniang’s pregnancy soon spread.
At the same time, the direction of the wind in the Fucheng also completely changed.
That Wen Yingniang was actually able to give birth, that means that the one with the problem was. . .
For a while, when the people of Fucheng mentioned the Liao family their tone changed. When they mentioned Liao Qinghe, they would also shake their heads, exchanging knowing looks and sighs.
Even those who originally disliked Wen Yingniang, now sympathized with her. Of course, they also sympathized with Liao Qinghe.
“That Wen Yingniang is really unlucky because she married the wrong person she suffered so much.”
“If the Liao family hadn’t divorced Wen Yingniang, others wouldn’t have known about it. I really didn’t expect it. . .
“Yes, this Liao Qinghe’s luck, is really bad.”
“Hey, then with whose child that woman that Liao Qinghe brought back is?”
. . ..
On that day, Father Liao personally went to pawn calligraphy and paintings.
He always got very little money when he asked his subordinates to pawn the calligraphy and paintings and the painting he wanted to pawn this time was one he particularly liked, so he took it with him and went to the pawn store in person.
However, the pawn store could not give him the price he wanted.
Father Liao did not want to pawn it, but he was in a hurry to get the money, so he finally had no choice but to pawn it.
After he pawned the painting, he was walking back when he ran into a good friend of his so he greeted him.
Then, Father Liao noticed that his friend’s expression was for some reason strange.
“Why do you make this expression?” Father Liao couldn’t help but ask.
“You . . .” The man wanted to say something but then stopped. Then gritting his teeth he finally said: “Wen Yingniang is pregnant, did you know about that?”
Father Liao’s eyes suddenly opened wide.
