"Madam Lai, if you want to vent your anger on us. It's useless we really cannot do anything." The guards remained firm and did not move, they were not going to step aside and let the Lai family cause trouble lest they drove Su Wan and her family away.
Lai Tianqin was very angry and so was Second Madam Lai from the second house of the Lai family. Second Madam Lai was still a bit rational, she knew that she could not cause trouble for the Lai family, if possible she would have dragged the entire family but if she did then it would be the county magistrate against the Lai family which would be troublesome.
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."
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.
