Chapter 873: A touching story turned sour

A game of chess was only fun when both the players were witty enough to make a move back and forth.

Lin Yu nodded and said, " Alright, I will make sure that Lai Jinfu will turn into our loyal dog along with his wife and his mother."

In the past, they did not have any foundation but now they were no longer weak. He was learning medical skills from the imperial doctor who was in charge of treating his leg and his wife was a county magistrate.

Their family were now acquainted with Lord Fei and the Emperor. They even knew Headmaster Yuan who taught the Emperor and Fei Qinfan who was the third prince. Let"s see who was in more trouble!

" Thats right! If she wants to target you then she has to go through me," sneered Headmaster Yuan. He looked at Su Wan and then said, " You all do your thing, I will see who will go against the teacher of the Emperor."

He then turned to look at Lin Rui and said, " Little disciple make sure that you aim for the best rank. Only then will you be able to make your family even stronger?"

Though the Lin family had their own defences, that woman was from the Imperial family and had the Su family behind her, it would not be easy to deal with her.

Lin Rui agreed, " Don"t worry, headmaster. I will certainly clinch the first rank this time around."

Lin Rui was no fool. He knew what kind of woman Su Yiqian was, she must have thought that the matter of formula came from his head and Su Wan only presented it to the Emperor. It would be impossible to say that she was not tempted to share the same glory as Su Wan.

It would be impossible for them to stay low now that the matter had been exposed to the country.

" Then I will be waiting," Headmaster Yuan patted Lin Rui on the shoulder and then looked at Su Wan before saying, " Make sure that you show that woman what you are made up of."

" I know," the reason Su Wan sent those two families to the capital was to let Su Yiqian know that she was not a small ant that she could squish at any moment.

She would show that woman how to write the word regret. What was more she would help her husbands get better and better such that Su Yiqian would see with her own eyes what kind of treasures she had abandoned.

There would be a day when she would be shining brightly and that woman would be lowering her head in front of her.

Su Wan then turned to look at Lin Yu and asked, " Is the second branch of the Lai family strong enough to make the entire Lai family move?"

" I don"t know whether they can move Qi Zhen or not but Old Madam Lai does have some strong feelings for Second Grandma Lai," replied Lin Yu with a frown. " I found from the locals that when the two sisters were young, they were married to the men in the Lai family. One was healthy while one was whose life was not long.

Back then it was Second Grandma Lai who chose to marry the short-lived ghost and allowed her sister to marry the healthy man."

" Thus they have some feelings for one another."

" Which means that the first branch respects and trusts the second branch right?" Su Wan sneered. She then turned to look at her husbands who looked a bit stunned after hearing Lin Yu"s words. She then heard Lin Yan say, " I did not think that woman would have such a kind heart."

" Thats because she doesn"t," Su Wan rolled her eyes and then asked Xiao Meow to flick his tail at Lin Yan"s forehead.

" Oww," Lin Yan winced as he looked at Su Wan and asked, " Why did you do this?"

" Because you all are stupid." Su Wan rolled her eyes as she looked at the stupid men. " Do you all think that old woman married that sick man out of her own will? It"s impossible. The reason she married the sick man was because she knew that she would not be able to escape fate anyway."

"I have heard about Old Madam Lai who married the first house and the head of the Lai family. She is the woman who brought the entire family together after her husband died, she even married another husband after the death of her former one and even got him to change his name and made the entire family follow that man.

Do you think a woman who only kept her husband"s surname yet made his entire family her own simple?"

Su Wan shook her head and then continued with a mocking smile, " Old Madam Lai is not only smart she is scheming and dangerous. Second Grandma Lai being her sister how can she not know how dangerous Old Madam Lai is?"

Her lips curled in a sneer as she continued, " That woman knew from the beginning that if she stubbornly insisted on marrying the head of the Lai family, she would die without knowing how she was killed. Thus she sold pity and acted like a true sister. What is more, what can a man do in the household?

The Lai family strictly follows the old norms that the woman works at home and the men work outside and bring money."

" Even if she had her husband"s backing she would not have been able to survive in the Lai family as Second Grandma Lai is stupid! She knows her limits and thus decides to take a step back, as long as Old Madam Lai is standing behind Second Grandma Lai, she will have a footing in the Lai family."

When the entire matter was interpreted like this, the touching story turned into a completely different story.

Su Wan turned to look at her foolish husbands and added, " In a big family like the Lai family, true feelings cannot be cherished for long. Only schemes like these could be retained. Use your empty heads and learn this lesson or else you will end up being eaten by a woman."
