On the other hand, Su Wan was not aware that the n that she had told Chi Jia was already set in motion. She was working in the county magistrate''s office when Pei Huai came with Second Madam Lai. Thetter was a bit nervous about stepping into Su Wan''s office but under Pei Huai''s coaxing, she calmed down and greeted Su Wan with a stiff smile.


    When Su Wan saw Second Madam Lai, she raised a brow. She had thought that the woman in the capital would settle down after suffering a setback but it seemed like she had gotten back on her feet very soon.


    She asked her aide to bring some tea and snacks for Second Madam Lai before turning to ask her, " Whats the matter? Is something wrong again?"


    Other than the fact that Second Madam Lai would find her toin about her sister, she usually did not look for her. So she was quite surprised to see that Second Madam Lai came to look for her so soon.


    And that too when she was working.


    There must be something wrong that brought her here to her office.


    She did not chase Pei Huai away and asked him to sit down as she knew that Second Madam Lai''s sudden appearance had made him curious.


    Second Madam Lai knew that Su Wan would not send Pei Huai away as she had even allowed the prince to hear her rotten n. She was the kind of woman who did not fear anything. Thus, Second Madam Lai was now ustomed to her acting like this.


    It was just that, Second Madam Lai nced at Pei Huai whose brows were furrowed and shivered before saying, Your next chapter is on м??


    " Someone from the capital came to look for my older sister again, I sent the shadow guard that you have arranged to listen to their conversation." Second Madam Lai began speaking as she turned to look at Pei Huai whose face was solemn before turning to look at Su Wan. " They said that they are willing to give the Lai family a total of ten thousand taels to stir trouble for you."


    If Second Madam Lai had not known that her sister was actually keeping the money that her husband''s shop made, she would have surely tried to take part in this scheme as she needed to make some money as well.


    She would have in fact been happy even if her sister handed five hundred taels to her but now she knew that her sister was keeping her money, Second Madam Lai was not willing to stand by her side.


    After all, standing next to Su Wan was much more profitable! Anyway even if she did not help Su Wan, all the money would be taken away by her sister!


    She then said to Su Wan, " They want the Lai family to find a few hooligans to ruin your reputation. At the same time, they had arranged a woman called Hanyi for your husbands. The woman at the capital is really bad, she wants your husbands to fall for that woman along with some other women and then leave you to die."


    " That woman asked my sister to look for a way where your reputation would be ruined and you would be pushed by your husbands to death!"


    Su Wan was rather calm after listening to Second Madam Lai''s words, she blinked her eyes and then asked, " And the one who took the task to arrange these hooligans? Who is it?"


    Second Madam Lai knew that Su Wan was going to ask this question, she pursed her lips and then took a look at Pei Huai before answering, "It''s Madam Pei, the fourth daughter of my sister.


    She says that you are a shamelesswoman who seduced her husband into giving in to your whims and thus decided to take the task in her hands, apparently, she had done the same to many women who were helped by Master Pei in the past."


    Though Second Madam Lai knew that this might create a rift between the husband and wife, she did not care. After all, that woman was really arrogant, she always acted like she was a step up to her daughter as she married an official while her daughter married a good for nothing.


    However, now that she had a chance to cause trouble in that woman''s paradise, Second Madam Lai was very much willing.


    Sure enough, when Pei Huai heard that it was his wife who had taken up the task of ruining Su Wan''s reputation his face turned dark and his entire body started to give out cold air. Though he respected Su Wan, it was simply admiration it was not to the point where it could be called love or having an affair, and yet that woman was causing trouble for Su Wan just on the basis of her doubts?


    Just how many women did she ruin that she was so confident that no one would find out anything?


    Su Wan turned to look at Pei Huai and then remarked, " Master Pei were you aware of this matter?"


    " I am afraid I am not," Pei Huai replied. He was speaking the truth he really was not aware of this matter, in fact, he did not even know that his wife did something like this behind his back!


    Su Wan smiled at him and then said, " A man who cannot even control his backyard is a man who has failed in controlling his personal life, Master Pei, I am afraid that if you do not teach your wife a lesson. Sooner orter even if you are a loyal subject, she will cause enough trouble for you that I will have to kick you out of the county magistrate''s officebecause of that woman."


    " How can she target me? Does she not even care about the fact that this matter once disclosed can cost you, your title and position? A selfish woman like this is not worth my time, Lord Pei ."
