Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 809: The head of the great ocean city comes knocking

The head of the great ocean city comes knocking

Su Yiqian was indeed not in the same situation as the Su family, they were barefooted but she was under the scrutiny of everyone. At most, they would be sent back to the village but so what? They were almost on the verge of starving already, not only did they have to rely on eating the bark of trees but they even dug out sandworms from the mud next to ponds and ate them.  3

They had seen all kinds of days what were they even afraid of? Nothing! But Su Yiqian, can she live the same life as them? She was now used to eating fine delicacies and wearing silk robes, can she stomach the hard bark of the trees?

Once Su Bai brought the topic of Yushi up, Su Yiqian already knew that she had lost. Su Wan had not only taught these people how to stab her in the lungs but also hurt her heart. Su Bai was attacking her main points, one that would hurt a lot! 

She became truly anxious when she saw that Su Bai was here to drag her down with him, though rumours were one thing but if this matter of her exchanging souls with the concubine was brought in front of the Yushi, then Su Yiqian was afraid that she will be truly treated as a demon. 

What if the Emperor or the concubines brought an affluent master? Now that Su Yiqan was aware of the fact that ghosts, spirits and demons existed, she was afraid of meeting her doom. She had gotten this life after exchanging her life for it, there was no way she was going to let this opportunity which was granted to her go just like that! 

This was not a good premonition.

She took a deep breath and then turned to look at Su Bai before asking, ” What do you want?” 

” What can we want? We want to live the same kind of life as you. Since you are so powerful then it’s not a problem for you to share a few alms with us right?” 

” Just bring Su Yu Cheng with you and have him admitted to an academy and if possible try to get your sister engaged to someone from the royal family, you couldn’t possibly enjoy the comforts alone right? You have to help your siblings. As for us, a small monthly expense of a few hundred thousand taels shall suffice.” 

Su Bai was not at all shy with his condition which made Su Yiqian so troubled that she was having a hard time breathing. But even so, she swallowed the fishy taste which was rising up in her throat and then said, ” I can bring Su Yu Cheng to an academy and even the thousand taels can be considered but I am afraid that the engagement which you want is impossible.” 

” Why!” Su Lan glared at Su Yiqian, her eyes were still red from crying as she looked at Su Yiqian with a vicious expression. ” Why can’t I marry into the royal family?” She thought that after causing such a ruckus, Su Yiqian would agree but she was still refusing! 

” Don’t be so greedy, Su Lan! Do you think that marrying into the royal family is such an easy task? No prince will marry you since you have no background. It’s not as if you don’t understand this, even a seventh-ranking official’s shu son would not accept you as his main wife!” Su Yiqian snapped while rubbing her forehead which was throbbing painfully. It was as if she had returned to the time when she was still living in the village surrounded by these idiots! 

She breathed heavily and just as Su Lan was going to say something, she parted her lips and then said, ” But if you leave the matter to me,  I will marry you off to a wealthy merchant, at least that way you will not have to worry about food and clothing.” 

” Really?” Though Su Lan was a bit suspicious, she still thought that marrying a rich merchant was good enough. 

” Of course,” Su Yiqian was lying but since she had been thrown off the loop, she could only placate these bumpkins for the time being and think of a way to deal with them later on. 

” Very well, but don’t even think of stabbing us in the back or else——”

” What are you doing?” Lin Ze who was waiting for the Su family to return strode out, unlike the Su family who worked hard to get their desires fulfilled, Lin Ze did not bother himself with those things. He ate, dressed and slept well before coming out of his room, he looked at Su Bai and the rest before turning to look at Su Yiqian and smiled, ” Oh its a great that you did not leave yet. I was looking for you… your highness as you might know I have a son as well, you know.” 

As Lin Ze spoke he beckoned Lin Che to come close and patted his son on the arm when the latter came to stand beside him. ” My son is my pride, I hope that you will help me a little as well you know?” 

Su Yiqian furrowed her brows as she looked at Lin Ze because she was busy with the Su family she did not pay attention to the three clowns who were following them but now that Lin Ze was speaking to her as if he knew that she was going to fulfil all his unreasonable requests, she did not hold back as she asked, ” Who are you?” 

” Ah, I am Lin Ze, their master,” Lin Ze pointed to Su Bai and the rest of the Su family. ” They are bounded to me by life and death contract, if you listen to them then you certainly have to listen to me as well!” 

Fck!

Looks like Su Wan did not just send her trouble, she sent her a disaster! 

The Lin family whom she wanted to avoid so desperately came looking for her in the capital!
