Chapter 889: Eunuch Xi
Su Wan then took another sip of her tea before turning to look at Fei Qinfan and added, " It would be better if the eunuch is none other than one who follows your father, his majesty, The emperor."
When the Lin brothers heard the plan of their wife, they were initially stunned but then their lips curled in a smile simultaneously. Su Wan was really wicked but she was wickedly cute as well! Making use of a eunuch? This could indeed terribly affect the Su family!
If the plan they came up with really succeeded then the eunuchs in the imperial palace would be disgusted by the Old Master of the Su family, as eunuchs were the closest aide of the Emperors and Empresses, they played a rather heavy hand in the rise and fall of a minister.
What was more they had heard from Fei Qinfan that the eunuch who followed the Emperor was devilishly wicked, if he was the one who played a role in this matter then it could be said that the Su family would not have a good time in the capital.
Minister Su was the face of the Su family, if he lost his face along with his dignity then he would not be able to recover for a long time. More importantly, Eunuch Xi could totally ruin Old Master Su as his connections and powers were highest among the rest of the eunuchs in the palace!
" I think this will work!" Fei Qinfan smacked his hand on the palm of his other hand and then exclaimed, " With the Su family in turmoil, they will have no time to care about that concubine Su. She will have no other choice but to stay quiet for a few months."
This was exactly what Su Wan wanted but what she wanted more than just ruining the reputation of the Old Master Su was to trigger the disgust of Su Yiqian towards her own father thus creating a pit for her.
Though she had never met Su Yiqian, Su Wan understood her psychology more or less. She was certain that Su Yiqian hated everything that was out of the norm which meant that she hated that Su Wan had married the Lin brothers using her body and was living as a shared wife.
With such a mentality, Su Yiqian would not be able to hold her disgust against her father which would then in turn create a rift between her and the Su family. Su Wan wanted to see if Su Yiqian would be able to continue troubling her like before.
And once the rift occurred then Old Master Su would also be dissatisfied with his daughter.
Relationships no matter what kind were fragile. Even if they were stronger and purer than gold, the smallest rift was enough to snap these relationships in half.
Thus, with this small move of hers, Su Wan was sure that she would be able to make a lot of ripples in the capital.
More importantly, she needed to hit back at that woman as soon as possible. In case that woman actually ended up getting back on her feet then she was sure that the woman would ruin things for her.
That Su Yiqian along with the Su family of the capital was trying to kill her husbands and children, there was no way she was going to let this matter slide just like this, her husbands and children were her bottom line after all.
Therefore she did not think that she was doing anything bad, in fact, she had a feeling that she was letting the Su family off rather easily!
" This way we might even create resistance for the Su family," said Lin Rui, though he knew that this would not ruin the Su family completely, at least they would be able to create obstacles for the Su family. Stay connected to the story on m-vl-em-py-r
He had heard from his master that the eldest son was about to be conferred the t.i.tle of General by the Emperor and because the Su family was the family of a Marquis, there was nothing that the Emperor could do to stop the conferring of t.i.tle. However, if this matter exploded then the Emperor could definitely make use of the matter and then deal with the Su family appropriately.
She then turned to look at Second Madam Lai and asked her to take her leave, she did not want the woman to hear even the finer points of the plan lest she bit her back.
Only when she left did Su Wan turn to look at Fei Qinfan and ask, " Will Eunuch Xi be willing to help us?" She did not want to ruin the life of an innocent man for no reason. Eunuch Xi might be an incomplete man with no reputation in the eyes of others but Su Wan treated him no different than the rest.
Fei Qinfan curled a side of his lips and then said, " Of course he will be willing. You have no idea that Old Master Su is the cause of Eunuch Xi"s current predicament. A few years ago he was the most promising young master of the Xi family and he was about to become the minister in place of Old Master Su but that man crossed him causing him to become a eunuch and ruining his future."
" In the past, Eunuch Xi did not have a way to deal with Old Master Su as the latter cleared after himself nicely but if I tell him about your plan then he will definitely agree."
" Wouldn"t that make Old Master Su hate eunuch Xi?" Headmaster Yuan could not help but question.
Though Old Master Su had gotten old, his skills were still there, he was the man who cleared the path for himself such that only he could become the minister and no one else. How could he be willing to stay put with his strong-willed personality?
Even Su Wan turned to look at Fei Qinfan and said, " I only mentioned him generally if there is such a history between the two then we might as well leave it alone for the time being."
