Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Old Madam Lai was having a hard time as well, the officials were refusing to talk to her and this matter was getting more and more out of control. It was as if someone was deliberately pushing things in a certain direction. It was frustrating and annoying as she could not control the public opinion.

She glared at Fourth Lai and then snorted coldly, " You think I want to bring that shameless woman to this family? We have no other choice! You were the one who fell into this trap then you can only blame yourself for being stupid. You better stay put for me and marry her without any fuss."

She really wished she could strangle that woman to death but there was nothing that she could do. Old Madam Lai hated Madam Ding but more than that woman, she hated Su Wan. She just knew that Su Wan did something behind the scenes as they found Second Madam Lai unconscious in the courtyard of the temple.

It was impossible for Su Wan to be completely clear of this scheme that took place but they could not do anything as they were the ones who schemed against Su Wan first.

" But how did she find it out!" Eldest Master Lai was sure that they had the county magistrate in their hands. But all of sudden it was them who was in trouble what happened in between?

Second Madam Lai who was sitting in the corner of the room stiffened upon hearing Eldest Master Lai's question. She knew that this man suspected someone was betraying their family and of course, someone was betraying the Lai family!

" What are you thinking so much about?" Second Master Lai rolled his eyes at Eldest Master Lai and then said, " That woman has a prince living in her house, do you think that she needs to worry about such small things? I bet that she has enough shadow guards to do her dirty work."

" But we need to clean her up——"

Before Eldest Master Lai could say anything the sounds of gongs and drums came from outside.

Startled they rushed out of their house and headed to the street from where the sounds were coming from and as soon as they looked at the source of the sound, a bad feeling rose in their hearts as the direction from where the sound of joyous drumming was coming was none other than the one where Su Wan's house was!

A bad premonition rose in Old Madam Lai's heart as she shook her head, " No, there is no way." The capital was a month away from the Big Ocean City, did they not eat or sleep on their way while coming here? How could they arrive so soon?"

However, no matter how much she denied it, the imperial edict had already arrived at the Big Ocean City.

" Everyone in the Lin clan, accept the edict!" The sound of the Imperial soldier echoed in the surroundings as Su Wan knelt down on the ground along with the rest of the family.

The imperial soldier looked at Su Wan and then kindly smiled at her before he announced in a loud voice, " Madam Su, the wife of the Lin family and the county magistrate is rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold for her wonderful service. Along with gold taels, she is given the right to govern the Big Ocean City as the shadow of the Emperor!"

As soon as those words fell everyone in the streets was stunned. The shadow of the Emperor? Doesn't that mean she had the right to govern this city as if she was the Emperor? As long as she did not go too far, Su Wan could deal with anyone as she wanted.

She had the right to even hand over the death penalty!

The people of the Lai family looked at Su Wan in shock, some even wanted to question what right, Su Wan could get such powers but they could not question it. They knew that the concrete and bricks would be used to form the walls of the border which would provide much better protection to the country and cities within it.

It would even help the commoners who did not have a house to live a proper life.

Trepidation filled the hearts of the Lai family as they saw Su Wan accept the decree. And maybe it was a coincidence but she looked at them the second she was done receiving the decree. What …What was going on?

A thin decree actually changed the fates of so many people.

The Lai family was in a frenzy, they thought that Su Wan was only joking but she was actually honest to the bones! She really did offer the formula to the Emperor and even won such big merits.

Old Madam Lai had a bitter taste in her mouth as she looked at Su Wan but the one who had even more of a bitter taste was Qi Zhen because he actually saw Father Lin and his nephews and nieces! They were actually in the Big Ocean City! No wonder! No wonder, Su Wan was this hostile towards him and the Lai family, it was because she knew who he was and what he did to Father Lin!

Qi Zhen was really worried if his wife found out that he was not the gentle and kind man she knew then she would definitely leave him and he would also lose the position of the leader of the Lai family.

After all, he was only allowed to take over the position of the Lai family because everyone thought that he was kind and easy to manipulate, if they found out that he was the kind of guy who killed his brother, what would happen to him?

A rather intense fear gripped his heart. No, he could not allow this to happen! He needs to do something and send this woman away! Much better kill that entire family!
