Chapter 911: A good show
What right did her elder sister have to stomach all the profit of those shops that belonged to her husband? If she wanted to get her hands on those profits then she should have married that sick b.a.s.t.a.r.d and let her become the matriarch of the Lai family.
Her life was ruined and she had to live like a widow for more than half of her life.
It was only right that she got what belonged to her!
With Su Wan filling her head with all sorts of explanations and threats while fooling her, Second Madam Lai was more or less convinced, since her sister did not care about her second branch then she did not need to care about her sister and the Lai family either! Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds were surviving on the money earned by the shops of her husband and they dared to treat her and her daughter like servants!
They deserved getting stabbed in the back!
Thus she prepared to fight with the Lai family and Old Madam Lai.
Lai Jinfu looked at his mother-in-law who was getting ready to rebel and shook his head, that woman was really scary. She actually fooled his mother-in-law and egged her into making a move against the Lai family. She was really too eloquent.
If he had known then he would have thought twice before attacking her!
That woman surnamed Su, she could ruin anyone as long as she set her mind!
Even he felt like going against the Lai family and ruining them to bits after listening to what his mother-in-law said to him. It felt as if he had been ruined by the Lai family even when the shops had nothing to do with him!
But the truth was that even though the shops were doing good they were doing so under the management of Old Madam Lai and they had nothing to do with it, if they took those shops under their hands who knows how they would get ruined.
However, after listening to his mother-in-law, he wanted to get even with the Lai family.
It was even more so the case for Lai Tianqin who looked at her mother and asked, " But why should we hand a total of thousand taels to that woman, shouldn"t we be keeping the biggest share?"
" What do you know?" Second Madam Lai scolded her daughter with just the right amount of anger. She looked at Lai Tianqin and then said, " That woman is being merciful by asking only a thousand taels, do you even know how much aphrodisiac your eldest aunt fed her?"
" How much?" Lai Tianqin questioned with a bewildered expression on her face.
" A dose enough to get a woman to do it with a bull or horse. Have you forgotten what she did to the concubine with whom the eldest master was obsessed with?" There was the reason why Second Madam Lai hid her affair with the eldest master for so long. It was because of the punishment that Old Madam Lai handed to the concubines of the Eldest master, every time they made a mistake.
She would feed generous amounts of aphrodisiacs to those concubines and the horses and bulls in the stable of the Lai family. She would then strip those concubines and then lock them inside the stable with those drugged animals. ReadNovelFull.com|v-l"e -ReadNovelFull.com
Not a single concubine died a respectful death. Their cries and pleas were still reverberating in Second Madam Lai"s ears as she knew how ruthless her sister was when it came to the late Eldest Master.
Because of such an incident, Second Madam Lai decided that it was better to keep her affair a secret.
When Lai Tianqin heard her mother"s response, she sucked in a breath.
" You understand now?" Second Madam Lai said to her daughter with a solemn expression, " Don"t try to go against that woman, we are not a match. I and your husband learned it the hard way, so you better stay put for me."
" I understand mother," Lai Tianqin nodded. She was also left in awe by Su Wan, that woman could actually escape through the hands of her eldest aunt. Someone who could go head-on with her eldest aunt and survive, she did not think that she could deal with such a woman.
Then, Second Madam Lai told her daughter what they needed to do next.
Lai Tianqin nodded and then sent a maid out of the Lai family to bring a set of commoners clothes, that she wore and went to the small inn where Madam Ding was staying.
She explained the same plan to Madam Ding whose face was filled with disbelief. Though she was greedy for the two thousand taels, Lai Tianqin scared her into submission with one sentence, " If we can bring you inside the Lai family then we can kick you out as well, do you think that you are the only one whom we can use?
Don"t forget that your life is in danger and will be in one if we don"t help you, understand?"
Madam Ding nodded upon hearing Lai Tianqin"s words, she did not want to die which was why she decided to stay happy with the five hundred taels first, what a joke. She was a woman who did not even have five taels in her hands before how could she complain when she was getting five hundred taels?
On the other hand, while Second Madam Lai and Madam Ding were hopping around, Su Wan was sitting in her room on a warm kang. Next to her was Lin Yan who was wrapping their kids up in a warm blanket, he kissed his sons one by one before putting them into the middle of the bed.
" Tomorrow, you are going to be really busy," he remarked with a smirk. After all, the Lai family would be in trouble.
He would have loved to watch the show but he had to make rounds at the snack street tomorrow.
Su Wan curled her lips and snorted before saying, " I will have to secretly sneak out as well, cannot miss such a good show."
