Chapter 870: Bring her to me and get hundred taels
So she could only shout, " Su Wan! You b*tch! You come out, if you don\'t come out then I will kill your entire family."
" Oh, it seems that the Lai family is this powerful," a cool voice came from above them. " They can even threaten the county magistrate despite having no official title, how wonderful."
Madam Lai raised her head and looked at the woman in vibrant pink. She was standing on the terrace of the third floor of the county magistrate\'s house. Her hair was tied in a bun with a golden hairpin that had tassels on it and was looking down at her with arrogance and pride in her eyes. She was beautiful like an enchantress but had the vigour and courage of a general.
Her temperament was so outstanding that even Old Madam Lai felt her heart thump.
The people of the second branch pointed at Su Wan and then shouted, " This is the one! She is the one Grandma!"
When Old Madam Lai heard the words of her juniors, she snapped out of her daze and looked at Su Wan. This time the admiration was replaced with anger and hatred as she shouted fiercely, " You are Su Wan? Come down!"
Su Wan arched a brow as she leaned on the railing of her newly rebuilt house and proactively said, " If you have the guts come up."
Blood and anger rushed into Old Madam Lai\'s head as her vision darkened. This was the first time a junior had treated her like this! Old Madam Lai felt like her lungs were going to explode as she gritted her teeth and then shouted, " The price of taking someone\'s life is by handling one\'s own. Since you dared to make a move then you should have prepared yourself to die!"
Su Wan put on a look of surprise as she looked at Old Madam Lai and then exclaimed with her fingers spread in front of her, " Aiya! Lai Jinfu died? Oh my god, I am so sorry. I did not think that the man who acted like a tiger in front of me while asking me to sleep with him was as weak as a chicken.
I thought I had left enough breaths in his body for him to survive who would have thought that he was so weak that he could not survive?"
She then lowered her hand and the apologetic expression shifted to a cold one as she stated, " If he had the guts to say such vulgar words to the Magistrate, he should have at least prepared himself properly."
The reason Su Wan said these words out loud was because she wanted to make sure that the Lai family would not be able to push the pot of blame on her head. She was not ashamed to say the words that Lai Jinfu said to her, after all, it was not her who was going to be embarrassed.
" You… you b*tch! It\'s you who must have seduced my husband!" Lai Tianqin who fell for her husband\'s face refused to accept that someone like Lai Jinfu would fall for Su Wan but then her gaze fell on Lin Rui and her momentum slowed.
The man next to Su Wan was one better than the others, but the words had already been spoken and there was nothing that Lai Tianqin could say now.
"Do I need to seduce a man who is even worse looking than the guards of my house?" Su Wan arched a brow as she looked at Lai Tianqin. " I only whipped him four times and if he died with just that much then I guess that he was not a man to begin with."
Old Madam Lai had never seen a woman like Su Wan. She did not care about her reputation and she did not even have the slightest bit of regret on her face even after being accused of killing someone much less an ounce of nervousness.
She was so angry that she was trembling while looking at Su Wan she sneered, " You… Do you know who I am?"
Su Wan arched a brow and then replied, " Of course I do. You are the head of the second branch of the Lai family. I never thought that I would see a family with only a few low-ranking officials rushing to threaten the county magistrate. Should I congratulate you and your son-in-law for ruining the reputation of the Lai family and Master Pei? I have to hand it to you that you really opened my eyes."
One by one Su Wan stripped Old Madam Lai of her clothes causing the latter to flush in embarrassment. She never thought that there would be a woman who would willingly go against the Lai family, did she not know who they were and what could they do?
She glared at Su Wan and turned to the commoners before saying, " If you bring that woman in front of me, I will hand you a hundred silver taels. She might be the county magistrate but she cannot kill someone! She does not have the right to do so which means that she deliberately went against the rules."
Just a hundred taels? Su Wan could not help but frown. Was her reputation and status worth a hundred taels? What an embarrassment.
She looked at the commoners and then took out ten gold taels before saying, " Whoever rounds these people up and sends them back to the Lai family, will get a gold tael."
Upon whom they were looking down on? She might not be a local tyrant but she had enough money to be one.
