Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Lu Huo turned to look at an official who spoke and then asked, " What do you mean by that it's a lie?"

The official hesitated and then said, " I am not saying that the document is fake but for the Emperor to stand behind a woman, I think it's a bit too unbelieving, don't you think? His majesty is the ruler of the country, how can he pay attention to a simple country woman?"

" I think so too," Zhou Cheng who supported the Lai family huffed angrily. He was quite upset at being called incompetent by that woman. A woman who did not even know the ways of the world was calling him incompetent! How dare she. " Just because she thought of an innovative idea, does not mean that her idea can be implemented properly. We have come up with a bunch of ideas and what happened?

The people did not even pay attention to our actions. They are only willing to work hard and earn daily wages to fill their bellies, an idea like this is nothing but reckless. What kind of meal we have not eaten before? And those who do not have enough money to fill their bellies do you think they will use their money to buy snacks?"

The room was silent and the atmosphere was different from before. Of course, everyone thought the same thing, what kind of meals have they not even before? And most importantly, was it even possible for those smelly things to become delicious?

Pei Huai looked at the officials and smiled in a good-natured manner, " Why are you all worrying about it so much?" He asked with a raise of his brows. " Whether she is lying or not, it will be clear in a few months. Can you not hold on to your horses till then? Anyway she is not going anywhere for five years, it's better if you all learn to keep your patience.

Unless you want to be dealt with in the same manner as Lai Baihu."

When the officials thought about how Su Wan dealt with Lai Baihu so ruthlessly, they all shuddered. That woman was not simple, for her to hand down such a harsh punishment, one could only imagine what kind of things she might have gone.

On the other hand, Su Wan walked out of the county magistrate's office after dealing with a few documents. She asked Yan Zhao to show her at least two thousand acres of land but at the current moment, the city did not even have a hundred mu of free land much less two thousand, even the wasteland did not have much space.

The entire city only had a few acres of land and they were barren to the point that they did not even have a single plant growing on them. Even after searching for a long time, Su Wan could not find any decent piece of land and in the end, chose a few acres of wasteland while asking Master Yan to hand her the property right of the mountain that was not under anyone's governance.

Turning the barren wasteland into fertile land was a complete hassle but it was the only thing that could be done at the moment. She could not possibly force the Lai family to hand over the land that they bought at low prices because even if they bought the land at low prices, the documents stated that they paid the full amount.

Even if everyone knew that they had skipped a lot of steps, there was nothing that could be done with the lack of evidence.

Time passed by quickly. While Su Wan was busy settling down in the Big Ocean city, the Lin and Su family also seemed to have encountered some difficulties in the capital, which was why they immediately sent a letter to Su Wan after three months of having fun.

When Su Wan returned home, she found her husbands surrounding a piece of paper with a similar funny look on their faces.

Upon seeing Su Wan return, Lin Yan handed her a cup of tea. " What's the matter? What are you reading?"

Lin Chen turned to look at Su Wan with a smirk on his face and then said, " The one from the Su and Lin family sent a letter."

This piqued Su Wan's curiosity. She had been too busy working on re-stabilising the city and thus completely forgot about the people from the Lin and Su family.

She took the letter from Lin Rui and started reading the thick letter that was written in at least fifteen pages by Lin Che.

After Su Wan finished reading the letter, her lips twitched and she said, " I really underestimated that slag father of mine, he is really good at dealing with other people."

Lin Che described his trip to the capital along with the members of the two families including how Old Madam Su and Su Bai dealt with Su Yiqian.

" The Lin family is not easy to handle either," Lin Yu was amused after reading the letter. " Just a bit of benefit could make them attack that woman relentlessly."

" You mean to say that they are like cockroaches?" Lin Rui stated causing Lin Yu to chuckle.

Su Wan could see that Su Bai had done a good job of making Su Yiqian run around like a top.

" They are asking for your help," Lin Jing summarised the entire letter to Su Wan upon seeing that she was having trouble reading the letter as she was too tired after work. " Apparently, that woman did not hand them enough money."

Su Bai could suppress Su Yiqian into giving in to his requests under the pretext that he knew her secret but he hardly met with Su Yiqian who lived in the palace.

Though Su Yiqian gave them a large manor to live in, she did not hand them enough money and she did not even arrange the matter of Lin Che and Su Yu Cheng going to the academy, which was why Su Bai had to write this letter to Su Wan as he could not come up with an idea of getting more money from her.

He knew that Su Yiqian was staying in the palace because she wanted to avoid him!

This truly upset him.
