Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 863: What do you want?

Her eyes were full of determination and from what Yan Zhao could see, Su Wan was not joking. She was really intending to harm him if he did not step aside and let her leave!

When Yan Zhao saw that he really could not stop the fight that was going to take place, he sighed and then said, " Miss Su, I know that you are angry but you need to know that you are here alone and the Lai family has more than two hundred people. You are not their opponent, if you go there then you are just forcing your family to a dead end."

"As long as are willing to submit for now, then you can get justice."

" I understand that your heart is hurting but there are sometimes when you need to lower your head."

Su Wan narrowed her eyes as she looked at Yan Zhao and then said in a low voice, " My heart and body belong to my husbands, if something happens to even one of them then I will never forgive myself. As long as I am alive, I will be willing to stand up for them and even if I die for them, then I will willingly submit my life."

Yan Zhao looked at Su Wan's aura, he sucked in a breath under the pressure and did not know what to say. She was clearly a woman but her aura was awe-inspiring and the air around her was filled with vivid courage and determination, it made him dumbfounded.

Su Wan walked past him, whip in her hand.

The Lin family also rushed over with Shen Junxi and Old Madam Shen.

" Wan Wan, what happened to Ah Jing? He is an honest man, how could he be arrested?" Mother Lin asked with a worried expression. She knew her son better than anyone. She knew that Lin Jing would never do anything that would be against the law and thus could not help but be really concerned.

Su Wan's eyes swept over the family and then said calmly, " Mother, don't worry. I will go and bring back Jing Ge, you should go back to the house and don't follow me. This battle might be filled with terror and Death."

She then walked towards the carriage that Lin Rui brought with him but before she could step inside it, Lin Yan stopped her and said, " Don't go, we will be the ones to take care of this matter. You are our wife, it's our responsibility to protect you. It's too dangerous for you to leave."

Su Wan calmly looked at him and then said in a calm voice, " The one who was slapped in the face was me. The reason that man dared to imprison Jing Ge is because he wanted to beat my face, I turned Lan Baihu into a eunuch and he caught Jing Ge to show his might.

He is trying to tell me that I should stay under the palm of the Lai family and not go against them at the same time trying to coerce me into handing over the formulas that I came up with."

" Since he wants to threaten me, then why will you go? The one whose face was slapped will be the one who will return the slap."

Su Wan could clearly see that the reason the Lai family made a move on Lin Jing was because they were terrified after her move. They did not want to lose the power and authority that they had enjoyed under the protection of the other magistrates, now that she was here they were worried that she would take back their authority and thus they dared to make such a rash move to make her submit.

They could not touch her as she was an official but her husbands were not and thus they could be touched by them under random excuses.

If she did not go to save Lin Jing, she would be sending out the message that she, Su Wan can't even protect her husband much less the residents of this city. If that happens then her authority as the county magistrate would become that of a paper and no one would listen to anything that she would say in the future.

" Wan Wan…" Lin Yu wanted to say something but he was interrupted by Su Wan.

" Yu'er, this is not only the matter of Jing Ge, it is related to the life and death of our family. If I don't retaliate today, then they will think that my head is something that they can stomp on at any moment."

After throwing these words, Su Wan climbed up the stairs of the carriage after forcefully breaking off the grip on her wrist that Lin Yan had on her hand and then asked the carriage driver to drive away.

Lord Yan saw that Su Wan could not be stopped and pursed his lips. He turned to look at his aide before saying, " Go and tell the Lai family to release the people or else the matter will escalate beyond their reach ."

Su Wan arrived at the Yamen office when the guard saw a big carriage charging at the gates of the Yamen, he hurriedly stopped the carriage.

" Where are you going?"

Su Wan stuck her head out of the carriage window and then looked at the guard before saying, " I am the county magistrate and the wife of the man you brought when he was working at the wasteland. Open the door for me,"

The guard was stunned and then a tangled look flashed in his eyes. Clearly, the county magistrate was doing a good job for the sake of the commoners but as commoners, they could not protect her at all.

But what can they do? Even if Lai Jinfu did not have any authority in the Yamen office, he was the son-in-law of the local tyrants the Lai family and he could play around as much as he wanted, with the Lai family behind him, Lai Jinfu acted notoriously.

How could they stop him?

" Lai Jinfu has the backing of the Lai family, please go back county magistrate and deal with this matter in private," the guard said.

" If you want to see this city prosper and your family live a decent life, you better get away," Su Wan sneered. " Nothing is more important than my husbands to me, if something happens to him, do you dare to believe that I will ruin this city?"

The guard was stunned for a moment and then turned to look away before exchanging a glance with the other guard who nodded.

" We are just small guards after being threatened by the county magistrate what can we do ?" The guards opened the gates and stepped away.

Lai Jinfu was in a good mood, he was really happy. The news that Lai Baihu had been turned into a eunuch was something that everyone in the family knew, his wife was really upset given that Lai Baihu was her cousin.

Back then he had promised that he would avenge her cousin ——

His thoughts suddenly came to a stop as he heard the sound of hooves, he turned his head sharply only to see six and seven carriages galloping towards him. The first carriage belonged to a woman in red as she looked at him with stern eyes and willow-like brows that were arched, her hand was clutching a whip and on her shoulders sat a tiny cat that hissed at him.

In an instant, the carriages came to a halt as Su Wan came down. She looked at Lai Jinfu and asked, "Are you the one who caught my husband on wrong charges?"

" Wrong charges? The county magistrate must be joking," Lai Baihu did not take Su Wan seriously at all. She was a woman who was shared by five men, how could she by any good?

He looked at the woman in front of him contemptuously and said, " I simply stopped him from doing illegal work, the county magistrate did not ask for the Lai family's permission when she started the production of concrete and bricks, how could this be done? Our family has been looking after this city for so long and now the county magistrate thinks that she could do anything that she wants?"

He knew that the things that he said were a lard of nonsense but so what? He was a member of Yamen and Lin Jing was just a small commoner, so what if he was thrown into the dungeons?

" You are doing commercial work while being an official, how can this be allowed?" Though official family members were allowed to have a business, the Emperor was far and the one in the rule was the Lai family in the Big Ocean city.

Su Wan looked at Lai Jinfu and asked, " What do you want?"

Hearing that Su Wan was lowering her stance, he smiled sinisterly and stated, "Two thousand taels of gold and a night with you, Magistrate Su. You sleep with five men adding one more is not a big deal right?"
