Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

" Thats right," Second Madam Lai nodded. She had to admit that this woman was too sharp even when she did not say much, Su Wan was able to get the gist of the situation of their family. Fourth Lai was indeed a good-for-nothing who only did all sorts of odd jobs for Old Madam Lai.

However, because he was a thug no decent woman was willing to marry him which caused a delay in his marriage again and again.

Old Madam Lai was thinking of trapping Su Wan and killing two birds with one stone. That was to get her hands on the formulas that Su Wan had handed to the Emperor including the snack street as well as marrying Fourth Lai which would make the latter happy and satisfied with such a rich wife.

" Then if Fourth Lai does not get what he wants then he would be dissatisfied with your sister which means the number of her supporters would be one less," explained Su Wan. " And not only one of her supporters will be one less but the others will be dissatisfied as well, if your sister\'s power on the Lai family weakens then you will not have to live in fear every day."

Second Madam Lai was stunned upon hearing this. " Ah? We can do it like this?" She asked.

Su Wan then started to explain the details, " The reason you are scared of your sister is that she holds the Lai family really tightly. Do you know why a sweater can give you warmth? That\'s because its strings are tied too closely and tightly. Similarly, the reason Old Madam Lai can cause fear in your heart is that she controls the Lai family too tightly.

If we pull the string of a closely knit sweater, it will fall apart and will no longer bring you any warmth. Similarly, if your sister loses her supporters she will no longer be an embodiment of fear in your eyes."

" I am asking you to bring that woman to the temple because if you are the one who controls her then she will have to fear you till the end. She might even support you later on. And you don\'t even have to do anything, just bring that woman to the temple and bring her where Forth Lai will be waiting for me."

" The snow festival is a public festival everyone can enter the temple, what does it have to do with you? And make sure that Old Fourth is drunk beyond saving."

" Also make sure that the woman is followed by a few of the commoners such that no one from the Lai family will refuse that woman later on or else that woman will betray you without any problem."

Su Wan leaned forward and then picked up the cup of warm tea and took a sip before saying, " In other words, it\'s the hooligan who took advantage of a married woman causing her husband to divorce her on the spot. If that woman is smart enough she will be able to deal with the situation properly."

" Because she was the one who was divorced, isn\'t it normal for Old Fourth to take responsibility for that woman who got divorced because of him?"

Second Madam Lai frowned and could not help but say, " Why don\'t you follow the plan to the end then? The plan that my sister came up with is for you and that man——" she paused when five pairs of eyes along with a few more were aimed at her. ".. I mean let them do it in front of everyone."

" You are too naive," Su Wan clicked her tongue as she said, " If that woman lost her reputation as well, she would be questioned and then abandoned. Even Old Fourth Lai would have the chance to refuse but in case we make it look like she lost her reputation because of him then we would have a chance to make it look like she was the one who was cornered."

" Only those who are weak will be sympathized by others as for the rest they will not care. We need the public opinion to push that woman in the Lai family."

What was more if that woman lost her reputation from the start then how would they cause more trouble for Old Madam Lai?

" In case the others see that woman hogging Old Fourth then they will call her shameless. They will say that she deliberately tried to climb onto high ground and left her poor husband behind. Even her husband will against her."

" But if she doesn\'t touch that man and she was the one who was pushed into the corner by him then not only will the Lai family have to compensate her husband who will shut his mouth but the others will also sympathize with her."

" Your sister will have no choice but to bring that woman to the Lai family which will dissatisfy Fourth Lai and as he is the one in charge of dealing with all the illegal activities, it will be a severe blow to your sister. You can take the chance to collect some money from that woman while Old Madam Lai and Fourth Lai are busy with their own thing. That way both you and that woman will be fine."

She then curled her lips and then added, " That woman will moreover be a victim she can demand as much money as she wants from Old Madam Lai and as her benefactor, should you not get half of it?"
