Chapter 653 Imperial family
" Damn it!" Feng Zihang who was watching the drama while hiding in the tallest tree of the village next to the Lin house punched the tree trunk and cursed. " that stupid old man, I worked so hard and spent so much money on making him overdose on alcohol and he actually made such trouble for me! Why couldn't he have died peacefully and just left the matter to rest like that? If not for his mess, I would have definitely proven that Su Wan was a witch. Now, I have to think about something else! Curse that old man!"
Lin Yu whose senses were sharper than others turned to the tall tree that was thirty steps distance from their house and narrowed his eyes as he walked inside the house with his brothers.
As soon as they walked in Su Wan who was dragged inside a room by her grandmother rushed out in a hurry, her eyes darting to scars, bleeding wounds and swollen lumps on the foreheads of her husbands and her eyes turned sore. " We will leave this village, we will leave as soon as we can, I don't want to stay here anymore!" She choked out as she rushed to Lin Jing and hugged him, he was the one who has hurt the maximum since he protected her from the stone that came flying, it should have been her but he saved her and caused his head to bleed like this. " I want to leave."
Lin Jing patted her on the back as he helped her inside the main hall that was the closest to the entrance and then sat down on one of the stone stools as he asked, " Shuyan, go an bring some medicinal wine."
The injury on the back of his head looked like it was serious but in truth, it was just a little bit messy because of all the blood that was gushing out of it, nothing more, as long as he cleaned the wound and applied medicinal paste everything will be fine.
Qi Shuyan nodded as he and his siblings rushed to get the medicinal wine and herbs to make a paste, they were not used to doing such things but seeing that everyone was busy they agreed to do it.
" I will go with them," said Shen Tian as he stood up from his chair, the Shen brothers have left him in charge of the other group of black shadow guards in case someone sneaked inside while stopping Su Wan from running out as well, so he was just as uninjured as the rest of the family who stayed inside.
The kids and Shen Tian left to get the medicine while Madam Zhu who has been nursing a lot of anger snapped at her husband, " Why didn't you let me go out? I will have messed those women for good!"
" Honey, calm down…ouch, easy there," Shen Junxi winced as Madam Zhu accidentally applied a little more pressure on his swollen eye. Because his eyes were hit by a lot of punches and fists, Shen Junxi looked like he had two tea saucers instead of eyes and Madam Zhu had to calm down the swelling with a heated brick. " Can't you see how hurt I am? If I have let you go then I would have felt like my heart was set on fire if you were to get hurt, at least for now it doesn't hurt that bad."
Madam Zhu snorted. " Such a sweet talker."
Shen Zizhen who was left alone to sit on the stone stool looked at his wife and asked, " Why don't you care for me like that?"
Madam Huo blinked her eyes at him mystically and said, " Why don't you care about me then? If I came with you, I would have gotten hurt. You know I hate pain the most."
" You are really something…"
"All right, All right, that's enough," said Old madam Shen as she waved her hand and looked at her children impatiently. " This is not the time to be acting as such, I sent someone to have a look around the village after what happened yesterday night and they returned with quite shocking news."
At once the entire space turned silent as they looked at Old madam Shen who has dropped this bomb on them out of a sudden.
" What kind of shocking news mother," asked Shen Tian who returned with the medicinal paste and warm water, he handed one bowl to Su Wan while holding another one. " Wan Wan, just clean their wounds, I am a doctor and I will treat your husbands in a jiffy."
Su Wan nodded as she picked the cloth from the water bowl and wrung the water out before she started cleaning the wounds of her husbands when they tried to stop them, she glared at them until they let her do what she wanted.
" The shadow guard I sent to make a round came back with the news that he saw the personal guard of the Imperial family," said Old madam Shen as she clenched her hands on the armrests of her chair. "It's not good news if we are being targeted by the imperial family."
" What?"
" Imperial.. why will the imperial family target our Wan Wan?"
" Exactly, Wan Wan has never been to the capital, why will someone from the imperial family attack her?"
Even Su Wan and the Lin brothers were shocked by what Old madam Shen said, targeted by the Imperial family but why?
" Don't forget that our Wan Wan was adopted by Old master Fei," said Old madam Shen with a slightly annoyed expression. " There are many imperial concubines who wanted to push their niece and nephews for that spot, with Su Wan snatching that spot, it's a given that she will be targeted by them." She banged her fists on the armrest and snorted, " This is really stupid, I mean it's not even my Wan Wan's fault that their niece and nephews lack charm, so why is it that they are blaming her? But of course, greed is a very frustrating thing, definitely, they will try to take Wan Wan out of their way!"
