Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 874: Am I still alive?

Chapter 874: Am I still alive?

" For example, the third princess who was sent to the capital of Dun. On the surface, she was sent as a reward to the King of the Dun country but three months later she killed her husband and watched the capital of Dun attacked by her father's army. For the sake of her better life, she was willing to kill her husband, do you understand what I am saying?"

" The King of Dun was treacherous but the Emperor was not, he noted down the sacrifice of the third princess and gave her a protected fief now the princess does not have to worry about anything," Su Wan reiterated the incident of the third princess and the king of Dun to remind her husband what happened ten years ago when the Dun country was trying to kill their countrymen.

She sighed and added, " The third princess had to suffer a few days but after she gained the trust of the king but once she did, she did not think twice to stab him for the sake of her comfortable life.

The same could be said for Second Grandma Lai, a few years of discomfort led to a comfortable life, instead of saying that she is emotional and caring towards her elder sister, it is best to say that she is smart and scheming to know her limits."

Everyone in the living hall looked at Su Wan silently. The Lin brothers had never seen such a thing and were rather shocked on the other hand Shen Junxi and Old Madam Shen were rather calm as they had seen schemes like this before, wasn't the daughter of Old Madam Shen's brother the same?

On the other hand, the guards who were patrolling inside the Lin's house were the ones who were shocked. So the reason, Second Grandma Lai was able to ascend to the top was that she was scheming against her sister who was stronger and much wiser than her.

Was this the famous retreat to advance move?

How to say this… but the second Grandma Lai was really sneaky!

"What's more, do you think that Second Grandma Lai would have stayed quiet after being married off to the second branch of the Lai family ?" Su Wan asked as she looked at her five husbands who stared right back at her with slight confusion.

Only Lin Yu who had seen the dark tricks of women in the backyard cottoned onto what she was trying to say. He pursed his lips and then said, " Are you saying that Second Grandma Lai had an affair with the master of the first branch?"

" Don't you think so?" Su Wan t.i.ttered, she leaned on the couch lazily and then kicked her feet. " That woman's daughter does not look like her father instead she looks like her uncle though many cannot see it. I can, because I have paid extra attention to the Lai family, the first branch master had a pair of almond eyes while the second branch master had fox like eyes.

Lai Tianqin has almond eyes when her mother and father do not have one whats more, her eyes resemble the first master a lot."

" Because the Old Madam Lai trusts her sister, she does not doubt her at all but we have no reason to not doubt Second Grandma Lai."

What's more, Su Wan was someone who had lived among mistresses all her life. She was well aware of how the minds of the mistresses worked, though Second Grandma Lai had the backing of her sister, she couldn't sit still with her sh*tty behaviour, more importantly, Second Grandma Lai was arrogant and she did not trust anyone.

With her att.i.tude how could she be willing to not create a back up plan for herself?

Thus she gave birth to the daughter of the first branch's daughter, it was just that she never expected that her sister would take control of the Lai family and thus she decided to swallow the truth inside her belly and to never say a single word of it.

But with Su Wan's gaze it would be impossible for her to not see through Second Grandma Lai.

The guards: '…' Was this something that we could listen to without paying?

Su Wan turned to look at Lin Yu and then said, " You know what to do now right?"

Once the matter was known to Lin Yu the latter nodded his head and stated, " I know."

Though that Second Grandma Lai was someone who liked to act as a demon. Even demons had their weakness!

With Su Wan smas.h.i.+ng the filter that was covering up Second Grandma Lai's entire existence rumours started to spread all over the city but none of those rumours consisted of the information which was related to Second Grandma Lai and the first branch's master, this was something that Lin Yu was going to keep for himself.

On the other hand, when the Lai family heard that someone from the county magistrate's house had almost killed Second Madam Lai, they rushed to Su Wan's house and created a ruckus all day long.

But no matter how much ruckus they caused Su Wan did not take them seriously, she rolled her eyes and then looked at them with a contemptuous look in her eyes. She knew that these branches were only making a ruckus out of her house was because they wanted to suck up to the second and the first branch.

She used the same trick as before and sent them away.

While at the Lai house, Old Madam Lai was sitting beside the bed of her sister. Her face full of sadness, seeing this the eldest daughter and Qi Zhen's wife, Lai Qianning could not help but say, " Mother there is no need to worry, aunt's injury is only a surface wound. The doctor has already treated her and she will be fine in just a few months."

Old Madam Lai's face was full of heartache as she listened to her daughter and then said with a regretful voice, " Your aunt has always been a kind woman who sympathies with the poor and the weak. She was the one who asked me to marry the first master as she could not see me marrying your second uncle whose life was short.

Even though her own life was at stake, her heart was aching for me and she chose to make such a ruthless decision."

" A gentle and kind woman like her encounters such a disaster, it makes me sad."

" I cannot believe that someone in our territory can make such a loud noise," said the second daughter of the Lai family, Lai Xinya. She looked at her aunt with heartache and then said harshly, " Even though our Lai family does not own this city, it's an unacceptable fact that the land belongs to our family. How can someone treat our second aunt like this?"

Lai Qianning frowned and then said, " What are you saying? The land was never ours, to begin with, Xinya, if you say such things then it will only make our family look bad,"

" But still we cannot leave the matter like this, right? We needed to at least take revenge."

" How are you supposed to take revenge?" Lai Qianning hated her sister for being too stupid. She glared at her little sister and then said, " What do you think that woman is? Is she someone you can treat lightly? She is said to be the Emperor's person because she came up with the formula of concrete and bricks, you think you can just take revenge on her because you want to ?"

Lai Qianning shook her head and then added subtly, " In fact, this matter was started by brother-in-law Jinfu. He was the one who stupidly went ahead and captured the husband of the county magistrate because he was greedy for the formula. In case the imperial decree arrives then all of us will be in big trouble!"

" How can this be trouble ?"

" How can it be not troublesome? If that woman is recognized as the person of the Emperor then it will mean that Brother Jinfu caused trouble with the Emperor! Do you think that it will be solved just like that?"

" Enough! Your aunt is in trouble like this, she is lying sick and pale on the bed how can you two sisters fight like this?" Old Madam Lai scolded her daughters without looking up from the sorry figure of Second Madam Lai on the bed.

The two of them were sisters but it would not be wrong to say that Second Madam Lai was like her right arm, all these years Second Madam Lai had accompanied her and served her with care, even her own daughter was not as careful as her old sister. So how could Old Madam Lai not worry?

A faint voice sounded in the room, " Sister…you…am I not dreaming? You are really here, does that mean I am still alive?"
