Chapter 894: Start of the show (2)

----------------

On the other hand, Su Wan finished sending the books to Eunuch Xi after she asked Lin Yu to copy them in his writing. Once she was done, she dressed up for Snow festival and stepped out of the house along with Lin Jing who was determined to follow his wife in case something went wrong.

The Snow festival was hosted at the temple which was situated at the top of a small mountain. While the commoners climbed up the stairs, the officials used their carriages to arrive at the temple. Su Wan was not used to walking so many stairs and she wanted to preserve her energy for the show later on which was why she too chose to ride a carriage.

The only difference was that she allowed a few commoners who had limp legs or twisted waist to ride her carriage which earned her some brownie points from others. Even some children were allowed to sit in the front as they were too young to climb the stairs.

Once their carriage arrived at the temple, Su Wan stepped out of the carriage along with Lin Jing. Lin Yan also wanted to follow them but Su Wan stopped him by saying that he should take care of the children for the rest they needed to stay back as it would raise the risks of getting caught.

Especially Lin Chen who was growling and glaring ever since Su Wan mentioned that she was going to head over to the temple. If he came how would she enjoy the show? It was better to leave them at home.

" You should pay more attention to your surroundings," when Lin Jing saw that Su Wan was humming and smiling, he asked her to be cautious. He knew that his wife had it under control but he was a nervous wreck, the Lai family's trap might be known to them but who knows what that family might be planning? And they could not rely on Second Madam Lai alone.

" Don't worry, I am so careful. Do you think I will still fall?" Su Wan chuckled. This kind of scheme was something that her step-sister tried to pull many times on her, she wanted to ruin her reputation and marry her brother-in-law with respect, too bad Su Wan never fell into her trap and even ruined her reputation all over the city.

Seeing that Su Wan was aware of what she was doing, Lin Jing did not say anything more and then turned his attention to the monk who greeted them. After he greeted them, he brought them inside the temple and then poured holy water for them to drink.

Su Wan picked up the cup that the monk offered and then brought it to her lips. However, as soon as she took a sip, she discovered that there was something wrong with the water as her body suddenly warmed up and then cooled down.

It seemed that the Lai family was really sneaky. They actually planned such a tricky move for her. Good thing that Lin Yu offered her an antidote to cancel the aphrodisiac or else she would be in trouble.

The Lai family was really good. They knew that as long as Su Wan was drugged by a monk, she would not be able to cause any trouble. How could a person who had let go of all kinds of attachments harm her? If she was to blame the temple then she would only earn the ire of those who respected the authority of this temple.

She raised her head and looked at the monk who was glancing at her again and again before she took a sip of the water only then did the monk look away and heave a sigh of relief.

Once they were done drinking the holy water, the monk took them to the hall where Su Wan offered her offerings and then settled down on a small table where a few of the n.o.bles were sitting. Stay connected through m-v l|e-NovelFire

As she sat down, Second Madam Lai walked over to her table and sat down. This was a plan that was arranged by Old Madam Lai since Su Wan had caused trouble for Second Madam Lai the last time, she was already in the limelight, and if she was to refuse Second Madam Lai who was her elder and someone who was injured by her, then she would be even more likely to be questioned by others.

" Can.. Can I sit here?" Second Madam Lai was asked to act scared but the reason she stuttered was not because she was acting but because she was genuinely scared. She really did not have even the slightest bit of idea that she would be pushed out by her sister like this.

If Su Wan got drugged then wouldn't she blame her? Was this avenging her or was it harming her!?

Su Wan arched a brow and smiled at Second Madam Lai before nodding, " This seat does not belong to anyone, how dare I refuse Second Madam Lai?"

Second Madam Lai forced a smile and then sat down on the chair next to Su Wan.

She was really upset with her sister but for the sake of her own safety, she acted according to the plan. She turned to look at the server who was supposed to hand clear soup to the ones who came to pray and then said, " What are you doing? Can you not see that the county magistrate is here? Come and serve some warm soup to her."

She did this for two reasons as told by her sister, first to let the server know what kind of soup he needed to serve Su Wan and secondly to let everyone else know that the county magistrate was here such that Su Wan's reputation would be in ruins once she was schemed against successfully.

The server who was ordered jumped and then rushed to serve the soup to Su Wan who took it and then blew over the clear watery soup before taking a sip. She turned to look at Second Madam Lai and then said, "It is really good."

Second Madam Lai: "…" Please let me go my heart cannot withstand this anymore
