Chapter 871: How could there be so much trouble?
When the crowd heard Su Wan's offer, forget about the commoners even the juniors of the Lai family were tempted. They all turned to look at Old Madam Lai in unison causing the old lady to flinch in fright.
Second Grandma Lai was so terrified that she did not know what to do, she was frightened and angry as if she was being targeted by a pack of wolves. She took a step away from the crowd and her juniors who were supposed to protect her.
" I am the head of the second branch of the Lai family who dares to harm me? Money is a good thing I will agree but don't forget that you might not be able to spend the money."
Su Wan on the other hand looked at Second Grandma Lai and Lai Tianqin before saying, " You better not offend me, Second Grandma Lai. I am someone who was sent to this city by the Emperor and no one would dare to touch me including the Emperor himself."
" You are lying," Second Grandma Lai gritted her teeth as she spat harshly.
" I am not," Su Wan pointed to her house that was rebuilt with concrete and bricks. " I have made great contributions by handing the formula of the concrete and bricks to the Emperor while your son-in-law tried to snatch it from me."
One simple sentence was enough to scare the people who were staring at her with evil intentions.
" If you dare to kill me or make trouble for me, I can always write down a letter to the Emperor and have him deal with your family. You can scare the county magistrates with your connections, Second Grandma Lai but let's see whether or not you will be able to scare the Emperor."
Second Grandma Lai was scared but she did not think that Su Wan was speaking the truth. She was just a yellow-haired girl who came from the countryside, how was it possible for her to know anything?
She shouted angrily at the crowd, " You all don't listen to her nonsense. She is just a woman what can she do? What's more, she is a shared wife, do you want to follow a shameless woman who spreads her legs for five men every day?"
After speaking, Second Grandma Lai turned to look at Su Wan and then said while raging, " I bet she tried to spread her legs for Jinfu as well but ended up failing which was why she harmed him.. that's right! That must be the case!"
Su Wan's expression sank while Lin Yu silently noted down Second Grandma Lai and Lai Tianqin's name in his heart. Once the decree was here, he was not going to leave these two women either.
With her hand raised in the air, Su Wan looked at Second Grandma Lai and then said, " Your mouth is so dirty, did you eat shit in the morning? It's fine, just wash it with blood and you will be fine."
Under the eye of everyone, Su Wan released the arrow from her crossbow and then watched it fly across the other end of the street.
With a swoosh, it hit Second Grandma Lai on the shoulder dyeing half of her face as well as her upper body.
" ARHGH!!" Second Grandma Lai did not expect something like this to happen, she looked at her shoulder that was bleeding and fainted on the spot as she had never seen something so scary before but the pain was too much and she ended up waking up. Only to scream in pain again.
Lai Tianqin and the other juniors of the Second branch were startled they immediately pulled Second Grandma Lai up and then brought her to the carriage before running away.
Su Wan watched them leave and heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Second Grandma Lai and Lai Tianqin would stay and badger her even more.
It was a good thing that she asked Lin Jing to make this cross-brow for her or else she would have no way to deal with it. Ever since she took the position of the county magistrate, Su Wan knew that she would be targeted thus she decided to make small weapons like smoke bombs and cross brows along with a few small bracelets that could hide a knife within them.
Though they were small weapons, at times of need they can come in handy.
Since she was a woman with a weak body, she needed to make up for it in one way or another.
" Wan Wan," Lin Chen looked at the weapon and then turned to look at her with an eager glint in his eyes. " Can I try it? I never thought that we could use it like this."
" Take out the arrows first and exchange them with small wooden pieces," Su Wan did not want Lin Chen to stab someone when he was practising.
" Sure, I will." Lin Chen was quite happy when he got his hands on the cross brow.
Lin Chen changed the arrows and then walked towards the courtyard with Lin Yu in tow. The two of them seemed quite interested in the cross brow.
Only on m v|le|mp|yr
Su Wan watched them leave but she did not stop them as she knew that no one would be able to create this cross brow in this world unless she was helping them.
Su Wan walked inside the house with Lin Rui and Lin Jing following behind her.
" I am afraid that this matter will not end like this," Lin Rui spoke as he knew that Su Wan had only pushed the Lai family even more by attacking Second Grandma Lai. " Is this okay we have not received a letter from the capital either."
" Why are you worrying?" Su Wan smiled. She looked at Lin Rui and then stated calmly, " So what if those troublemakers did not send a letter to me? There is someone else who will send it."
