Chapter 883: A dirty scheme
When Su Wan woke up she heard the voice of Second Grandma Lai coming from the living room. " I am telling you that I am not here to find trouble with you, it's your brothers who asked me to come and warn your family when a crisis starts."
Hearing her voice, Su Wan picked herself up from the bed and headed out after kicking her three husbands to get up and then follow her. With her outer robe draped on her shoulders, she stepped inside the living room with shaky legs and said, " She is right. I did order her to bring me information."
She told this to Lin Yan and Lin Jing who did not have any idea about the small scheme that she, Lin Yu and Lin Chen came up with, only then did the two men stop glaring at Second Grandma Lai who was shivering from head to foot.
" Ca...Can I sit down? My legs are trembling," she told Su Wan who stared down at her with a calm look on her face and nodded. She was not ruthless enough to actually force an old woman to continue to stand when she was scared sh*tless.
Second Grandma Lai heaved a sigh of relief as she sat down on the couch. She then looked at Su Wan and said, " I came here to tell what is going on, are you going to listen to it alone or should I start speaking already? I am in a hurry, if I leave for a long time then I am worried that my sister will find out what I am doing."
The workers who were working close to the living hall left upon Second Grandma Lai's words. Though Headmaster Yuan was also sitting in the hall with the third prince, Fei Qinfan, Su Wan did not ask them to leave as she did not have anything to avoid.
That imperial concubine was so disgusting that she was not even letting go of her when she was doing nothing to harm her. Yes, she was possessing her body but that did not mean that Su Yiqian had the right to kill her, if she was in the wrong to possess Su Yiqian's former body then so was she for possessing the body of the imperial concubine and living a life of comfort without any trouble.
Why was it that it was all right for Su Yiqian to possess and live in the body of the imperial concubine but she was a sinner?
Since that woman wanted to disgust her then she would make sure that everyone was aware of how disgusting Su Yiqian was!
When Second Grandma Lai saw the third prince and headmaster Yuan, she paused. She did not know whether these people were really great officials or not but the clothes they were wearing were indeed a bit too expensive, with her sharp eyes she could see that these people were of great importance.
Su Wan on the other hand waved her hand and then asked a maid to bring warm water for Second Grandma Lai to drink. After the cup of water was placed in front of Second Grandma Lai, Su Wan asked her, " What crisis were you talking about ?"
Second Grandma Lai turned her head and looked at Fei Qinfan and Headmaster Yuan as if silently asking whether or not she was allowed to speak.
Su Wan waved her hand and then said, " You don't need to worry about them just pretend that they do not exist."
Fei Qinfan was speechless when he heard her say this, he was such a big person, with a golden crown on his head, how easy was it to ignore his presence?
Though he wanted to flare up he wanted to hear what Second Grandma Lai came to say as well which was why he did not move and stayed put. He wanted to see what was going on, as this city did not have much excitement how could Fei Qifan ignore such a wonderful change of pace?
Second Grandma Lai looked at the man who was dressed in nothing but gold and fine clothes, one look and she could see that this man was a noble young master but this county magistrate was telling her to pretend that he did not exist. She was truly bold, no wonder she whipped her son-in-law until he was crying for his ancestors.
She did not know where to begin but somehow managed to brace herself as she said, " Three days ago, someone from the capital came to the Lai family."
" They asked me to sue you and your family for attacking the commoners while the imperial decree was not here but I simply refused them outright."
Second Grandma Lai looked at Su Wan and then said obsequiously, " I told them that you were the person of the Emperor, even if I sue you as long as the imperial decree arrives you will be out of the Yamen and then I will be the one to suffer."
"Besides it was my son-in-law who was out of the line first. Suing you would only cause him to lose his life."
Su Wan did not believe a thing that was coming out of her mouth. She knew that if not for the fact that they had her secret in their hands, she would have definitely sued her in a heartbeat.
She looked at Second Grandma Lai with a faint smile and then said, " You are smart. But I don't think that they are going to sit still so easily, after all, they came from the capital all the way to the Big Ocean City to cause trouble for me."
Second Grandma Lai felt a bit uncomfortable under Su Wan's gaze as she knew that the ones who were scheming against Su Wan were none other than her family. What's more, she was the cause!
She lowered her head and then nodded. " Thats right. That man from the capital asked my sister to invite you to the snow festival in a few days. I heard that they have set up a trap for you there."
