Chapter 886: Counter attack —-2
Lin Yu, who was listening on the side could not help but say, " Then what about attacking her loved ones? Since she did not touch Su Wan directly and went for our family, we should do the same. We cannot touch her but her family should be easier to deal with."
Fei Qinfan shook his head and then said, "It\'s not like you are the first one who came up with this idea. There are many who came up with this plan, previously many concubines and their family members tried to seek revenge by attacking the Su family but they are smarter."
" The two brothers of Su Yiqian keep a distance from women and her father had long declared that he is not going to take another concubine."
" Moreover even if someone succeeded in sending a woman to their house, the Su family\'s men are not simple. They would deal with a woman gifted to them appropriately such that she will not cause trouble for them, this is one of the reasons why Si Yiqian can act raucously as her father only has her mother as his wife and he treats her really well.
As for the rest of the women in the house, they are without any title they are more like bed slaves and they cannot do anything against the main wife."
He paused and then added, " Su Yiqian\'s mother is not an easy woman either. She is someone who knows how to measure pros and cons, as she knows that she needs to hold the heart of her husband, she would not touch him nor would he make a fuss with him, instead she would settle the women in the backyard."
" I think it\'s better to come up with a plan to affect the reputation of Minister Su and his sons as it would be impossible to send a woman in their arms."
He then looked at Su Wan and carefully said, " But you have to be careful while doing it. As Minister Su and his sons are someone who hold quite a heavy position in the capital even if their reputation is affected I don\'t think that it will cause much chaos for them but you are different."
" You are just a county magistrate and to make things worse you are even a woman. If your reputation is affected even the slightest bit then your future will be ruined."
When he said such things Lin Yu realised that the ones who held high status were different from commoners they were not scared of the things that terrified the commoners.
It however made sense.
Su Wan nodded as she agreed with what Fei Qinfan said, she really could not deal with the Su family and Su Yiqian as she had dealt with others, she needed to get innovative with them.
" You are quite smart," she praised the prince who smiled smugly.
He flipped his fan open and then said, " Well, of course, I am. I have dealt with that woman too much so I understand how that woman\'s mind works."
He was once a famous prince whose reputation was pristine clean but because of that woman his reputation was ruined and his marriage was called off all because the Su family wanted to betroth that woman with whom he was engaged.
How could he leave that woman alone? What was more his mother despite being the legitimate wife had to suffer a lot because of that woman.
He then turned to look at Su Wan and asked, " But I know that you have a good plan in your head."
Su Wan smiled at him, she nodded and then said, " I am going to do as you said, I will follow through with their plan and then head to the temple and wait until they make a move."
She then turned to look at Second Madam Lai and then asked, " Is there a woman with a strong reputation in the city? One who will not care what happens to her reputation?"
Second Madam Lai felt her hair rise on the end when she heard Su Wan\'s question but upon receiving Su Wan\'s glare she said honestly, " There is one. She is the wife of a butcher in the town but she is infamous for sleeping with a bunch of men. The butcher is quite upset with this wife of his but every time he brings up divorce, she makes a fuss saying that she would kill herself in his house. "
" Though she is famous for her debauchery, no one has caught her as she is smart to avoid attention," said Second Madam Lai with a frown on her face. " The butcher cannot divorce her either as she is very clean despite her shady reputation."
"This means that she is staying with her husband because he is much better than the men she has hooked up with, in case she gets a better match she will not think twice before divorcing her husband, is that right?" Su Wan asked with a sweet smile on her lips which caused Second Madam Lai to frown and nod.
" Very well," she then tapped her fingers on the armrest. " Then I will be leaving the matter of convincing that woman in your hands, Second Madam Lai. Make sure that she is willing to join hands with you in entrapping that man chosen by your sister."
Second Madam Lai was stunned when she heard Su Wan\'s plan. She blinked her eyes and then asked, " Why me? This could be done by you as well!"
" Of course, it can be done by me but the thing is that if I do it then it won\'t cause the same impact as you."
