Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

As soon as the housekeeper confessed to Old Madam Su crying to go back to the village, the crowd started to buzz with energy. They all looked at Su Yiqian and started to gossip. freewebnσvel.cøm

" This is really outrageous. Not only is the imperial concubine ungrateful, but she even harmed the commoners who helped her. Isn't this her trying to ruin the two families?"

"In the past, I used to think that imperial concubine Su was gentle and a woman of many talents. I never thought that she would be poisonous like this, how could she harm the commoners like this? If it was proven that they were the ones who stole these things then they would have been executed! These were the gifts handed to her by the Emperor! Stealing them is similar to killing yourself!"

" Thats right. Ever since they started living in the manor, the imperial concubine did not even come to take a look at how her benefactors were living back then I thought that she was busy but now I know that she was just trying to save her skin!"

" The second master Su is not any good either. He actually allowed his sister to bully the commoners like this? He is supposed to be studying as a scholar, since when did scholars start to turn their noses in contempt towards the commoners?"

However, the nobles did not have any idea about what kind of person Su Yiqian was and only relied on rumours. They did know that Second Master Su, Su Jinxiao was a scholar who was studying in the academy of the capital.

He was talented in poetry and calligraphy. And he even clinched the top ranking in the elementary scholar exams. With the connections of his father and mother, he was guaranteed to get a good job at the Ministry of Finance and Taxes.

Shining brighter than anyone else he was going to be the winner of the life.

Because of this many families had been keeping an eye on him.

But now that this matter had escalated to the point where Su Jinxiao was involved as well, many people did not have any good feelings towards him.

The Su and the Lin families heard about the in and out of the matter and were furious. Especially Old Madam Su, she was the one who knew how much Su Yu Cheng wanted to become a third-ranking official but could not because he did not have the money and the means to do so, Su Yiqian had the power to do it but she refused!

She did not help her biological brother but was willing to watch that bastard who had no relation with her to climb higher and higher/

Su Jinxiao was the top-ranked elementary scholar. Wasn't it because he had the Su family and Su Yiqian behind him? If her grandson had such a fortune then he too would be top-ranked in the elementary scholar exams.

Such a good thing belonged to her grandson!

The more she thought about it the more angry she got, she looked at Su Yiqian and then slapped her thighs before squatting down.

" I don't want to live anymore! If you are angry and upset at this old woman for looking for you then you can get angry at me but please let my son and grandchildren off!" As she spoke she knelt on the ground and banged her forehead harshly.

Su Wan had taught her that if she wanted to get more benefits, then she needed to evoke the sympathy of the people around her. Only by being ruthless to herself could she crush Su Yiqian.

The more powerful Su Yiqian was the more Old Madam Su needed to show how she was getting bullied.

" Imperial concubine Su! It was all this old woman's fault, I should have never come looking for you! I beg you, please let my children and grandchildren go. I promise that even if you kill me here for dirtying your eyes, my son and grandchildren would not dare to say a word to you!"

Su Bai was impressed by his mother's actions. He looked at Old Madam Su who was kneeling on the ground with a swollen forehead and immediately knelt beside her as he stopped Old Madam Su and then cried, " Mother, why are you apologizing? It's our fault that we are not filial enough.

I was the one who could not earn enough and had to sell away our lands for your disease if I had…." He broke away with tears in his eyes and then said softly, " L...Let's go back Mother, the capital is not for us."

Once Su Bai made a move, the rest of the family made a move as well. Even though Lin Ze was an idiot, he knew when to follow suit, he immediately knelt on the ground with his mother and also begged to be forgiven.

Su Yiqian was so angry that she almost fainted.

These damned troublemakers. They were clearly spouting nonsense! They were the ones who tormented her and even sold her away but Su Yiqian could not say a thing as she knew that she was not the old Su Wan.

She could not say those things!

What was more this woman was her benefactor in name. With the real Madam Su dead and the tally of her father in this woman's hand, Su Yiqian could not touch her!

With them kneeling in front of her, Su Yiqian knew that there was no way for the situation to be turned around. And if she were to drag the matter any more her second brother would be involved in the matter as well.

Her second brother had a limitless future in front of him, if something happened to him then even if her parents doted on her, they would be furious with her. Thus Su Yiqian sucked in a breath and confessed, "It's my fault. This imperial concubine was narrow-minded, the gifts handed to me by his majesty are something that I care about a lot."

" I was worried that benefactors were not used to staying in the capital and they had clearly not seen such delicate antiques and millions of taels before I feared that they would lose sight of themselves and ended up making a rash decision. I would apologize for it."

" My second brother is currently at an expedition thus he had no idea what happened in his manor."

For the sake of Su Jinxiao, she could only throw her reputation away!
