Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 496 I won’t touch you for now

"Lord Fei, that\'s …its not like that, this girl is foolish and doesn\'t know anything better do just keeps on inviting trouble. Please forgive us, I will definitely get this girl to apologise to your granddaughter." Lord Wang was scared out of his wits, he wanted to haggle a little with Lord Fei regarding his punishment, it was fine as long as he and his family were punished but his son who was participating in the selection of the ministers of the law and order department was left alone.

" You fool! Do you think that this lord is furious just because of my granddaughter?" Lord Fei\'s voice was fierce, with his tall and intimidating figure he incited fear in the Wang family\'s members\' hearts like no one had before. Picking up Shen Junxi \'s teacup next to him, Lord Fei threw it at him, Lord Wang didn\'t dare to dodge and was hit by the teacup that still had steaming hot tea inside " I am asking you is this what you have taught your daughter? That she can bully the commoners just because she hails from a family of officials?\'"

Lord Wang kowtowed, he was embarrassed and furious but there was absolutely nothing he could do except plead for his sins. " I failed to teach my daughter the right and wrongs please forgive me, my lord. I am willing to suffer the punishment on her behalf."

Lord Fei was so angry that he started to smile. He sneered, " Don\'t worry, I won\'t touch your son. But that\'s only because my granddaughter was at fault too, however, I will keep an eye on your family for the time being. I will not be giving you any punishment, Lord Wang nor will I make things difficult for your son if that\'s what you are worried about but, just this once. If you ever make the same mistake twice then I will not care about a thing that you have to say. Even a petition about how I am misusing my powers won\'t help you. So, keep your family in check."

Under the watchful eyes of Lord Fei, the members of the Wang family obediently nodded. Seeing them act like this Lord Fei snorted, the Wang family was the classic example of those who bully the weak but fear the strong, he didn\'t want to waste any more time and came straight to the topic for which he came here, " Lord Wang, your daughter filed a complaint against my granddaughter and that\'s quite alright, after all, she indeed suffered but she misused her powers and the Wang family name to bully a commoner out of her vindictive impetus, have her write an apology letter and recite it in front of my granddaughter\'s shop - since both of them were at fault, then the responsibility lies with both of them."

" Yes, yes … I will certainly abide by the lord\'s order."

Lord Fei didn\'t bother with him anymore and walked out of the parlour with Shen Junxi and the others. Once they were out of the Wang estate, Shen Junxi burst out cursing, "Lord Fei why did you stop me? His daughter bullied my niece like that and you just had her write a reflection letter? Why? This isn\'t enough, they should have apologized to my Wan Wan. That girl is so insidious at such a young age, she dared to use her family name and harmed Wan Wan by sending her to yamen for such a small thing. Wouldn\'t let her off like that create problems in the future?"

Lord Fei sighed, this was why he didn\'t want to let Shen Junxi or anyone else follow him, from their disgruntled expression it seemed that no one was satisfied with his way of dealing with Wang Ruoqing, " I know that you are upset, Junxi but don\'t forget that we are at faults too. If I punished that girl a bit too harshly then things would have backfired and people would have started cursing and hating Wan Wan. Rumours about Wan Wan misusing her backing would have spread around do you want that to happen?"

Though Shen Junxi understood what Lord Fei was saying, he was still upset. He pursed his lips and wheeled around to look at Lin Rui and said forcefully, " You brat, remember to become a high ranking official. If not Wan Wan would be bullied like this, again and again, you got it?"

Lin Rui nodded, with what happened today his determination to pass the exam and become a high ranking official strengthened even more. He will definitely become the top scholar in the next upcoming exam so that no one will ever look down on Su Wan ever again.

—————

After this short hold up, the sky had already darkened. All of them climbed the carriage and drove straight to the yamen, Lord Fei wanted to deal with the Wang family before getting Su Wan out just in case they tried to create any sort of trouble with Su Wan\'s release with this the Wang family will be quiet for a while and they will be able to handle the proceedings as quickly as possible. When they reached the Yamen office, Lin Yu and Lin Chen were already waiting for them.

Lin Chen was quarrelling with the guard to let him go inside but the guard was even more headstrong he didn\'t even listen to what Lin Chen had to say and banged the gates of the prison close. Lin Chen who was refused entry was so furious that he kicked the gate with his foot but no reaction came from inside, furious he wanted to start cursing the guard but before he could do that Lin Jing and the others hopped out of the carriage and came over to his and Lin Yu\'s side.

" Yu, Chen? What are you two doing here? Shouldn\'t you be dealing with the workers of your shop?" Lin Yan had told Lin Yu to flush out the culprit, so what were the two doing here?

Lin Yu sighed and rubbed his face, " I wanted to deal with them but I couldn\'t… the workers keep denying their involvement and what\'s more they have an alibi, so it\'s difficult to find that rat. " thinking back at how the workers kept sticking to their story and acted all innocent, Lin Yu was full of murderous intent. How dare they? They had the guts to betray their master but don\'t have the guts to confess just wait! Once he finds out who it was, he will definitely make them rue the day when they decided to betray them!
