Chapter 885: Counter attack
" F…Father Emperor?" Second Madam Lai trembled upon hearing Fei Qinfan mention these two words. Was ..Was Su Wan close to the imperial family? Was this a prince?
" You are not telling anything to the Lai family," Su Wan told Second Madam Lai who trembled even more. What had she done? She actually tried to go against someone who was connected to the Imperial family. With this prince standing next to her, Su Wan could ruin their entire family!
Su Wan then said to Fei Qinfan, " Of course, they do not have the courage, why do you think they are choosing someone from a branch that is not directly related to the main family? What\'s more, they have someone from the capital backing them thus they are not scared." She then turned to look at Second Madam Lai and asked, " The person has a great background right?"
" I don\'t know whether they have a great background or not but my sister was quite happy and that shadow guard is being treated really well as well, if I did not know any better I would have thought that he is one of our ancestors," remarked Second Madam Lai. She then added, " But I heard from Master Qin that the master of that shadow guard is indeed someone from the capital."
" But they did not tell us who it was."
Su Wan rolled her eyes and then said, " You don\'t need to think too much about it. It\'s none other than an imperial concubine who thinks that she can rule the world."
" It seems like she found out that you were the one behind the scenes that took place in the capital," said Fei Qinfan meaningfully. After all, he was more than aware of what happened in the Capital even if he was not living in the capital at the moment. The fact alone that Su Wan caused Imperial concubine Su\'s brother to be held back from taking an exam was enough to make Su Yiqian hate Su Wan.
Su Wan was not scared as she shrugged carelessly and then said, " I wasn\'t hiding it from the beginning, even if she wants to teach me a lesson she needs to ask me if I am willing to learn it or not ."
Since that woman knew that she could not sue her, she wanted to see her getting ruined and kill the Lin brothers who were like a dark stain in her eyes. Of course, Su Wan was not going to let that woman do what she wanted, since she knew what the Lai family was planning she was going to deal with her properly.
Second Madam Lai listened to their conversation and felt like the Lai family had gotten entangled in a mess. Imperial concubine? Prince? Emperor? This was not something that they could deal with, what were they supposed to do now?
Su Wan turned her focus to Second Madam Lai who was sitting next to her with her head lowered. She then said, " I would recommend you to keep this matter to yourself. You might not know this but I caused enough chaos for the imperial concubine in the capital despite sitting here.
Now her reputation is in shambles and even if she wants to climb back up, she will have to wait and see if I am willing or not."
When Second Madam Lai heard Su Wan\'s words, she was stunned. She looked at the woman in front of her carefully and she could see that Su Wan was not lying, she was indeed speaking the truth!
This woman was really sinister!
They made the mistake of making her their enemy. Now Second Madam Lai was afraid that Su Wan was going to ruin their Lai family as well, so should she stay loyal to her?
How could Su Wan not know what was going on in the head of Second Madam Lai? She arched a brow and then said, " Don\'t even think about retreating now. If you dared to betray me then you need to know that compared to your sister, I am much worse."
Second Madam Lai shuddered after hearing Su Wan\'s sentence she should have known that this woman was not going to let her go so easily. Fortunately she did not do anything bad to this woman or else she would not have had a good ending.
Not only was this woman ruthless and smart, but she also had the old Emperor backing her.
Fei Qinfan turned to look at Su Wan and asked curiously, " What do you think? How are you going to return the favour?"
" What do you think I should do in such a case?" Su Wan did not answer instead he questioned Fei Qinfan. Since he was a member of the Imperial family, he should know better than anyone else how to deal with Su Yiqian.
Fei Qinfan thought for a moment as he turned to look at Second Madam Lai who shook her head and said, " I dare not say anything. I am an old woman and I am too old to go through such excitement."
Only then did he nod and say, " I would love to take revenge. Since that woman wants to trap you then you should go along with her trap and pretend that you have fallen into the pit that she had dug for you but counterattack at the right moment."
" Of course, I would have loved to ruin that woman\'s reputation but that cannot happen as she is the imperial concubine."
