The snow festival was a small festival which showed the departure of winter and the arrival of the spring. In this snow festival, every household cooked a small dish to offer to the only temple in the town before sitting down and enjoying the evening together.
Though the commoners were only allowed to offer their dishes, the ones who were in higher positions could climb up the stairs and then stay at the temple for a night.
Su Wan was not surprised by her words, she knew that the imperial concubine in the capital would want to deal with her first given how impatient she was with her existence.
She frowned lightly and then asked, " They want to find a man to ruin my reputation is that it?"

Second Madam Lai was impressed with how quick Su Wan was in getting hold of the crux of the matter. She nodded her head and then said, " You are right.
The man from the capital wants you to be gone and my sister knows that we cannot touch you for the time being which is why they came up with a plan to ruin your reputation such that you will lose your husbands as well as your position and then stay put."
" I heard that they found a very violent man from the branch family of the Lai Family, that man is good for nothing and he took a liking to your witty ideas and thus agreed to cooperate. He thinks that as long as he marries you then he wouldn't have to worry about earning money."
" And with your husbands gone, they will take over the businesses that you have spread in the countryside and force you into opening another set of those workshops in the county." She paused and added, " I guessed the last part on my own though as I know my sister well."
Though her sister was ruthless she would not sacrifice a family member for no reason. The reason she chose to push her own grandnephew outside was because she wanted to take over the workshops. As for Su Yiqian, she only wanted to push Su Wan into a pit from which she would never be able to come out of, thus this plan was perfect in her eyes.
Without her freedom, Su Wan would be like a puppet in the hands of the Lai family and would no longer threaten her.
Thus the Lai family was now only waiting for Su Wan to fall into their traps such that they would be able to deal with her.
" Those bastards really think too lightly of us huh," Lin Chen sneered. Did they think that killing them would be this easy? They must be joking with him!
Lin Rui's expression did not change but a sense of strong hostility rose in his heart, even Lin Jing and Lin Yan had their fists clenched on their sides. Though they did not expect anything less than this, they still felt enraged.
It was a good thing that women did not marry in their house or else they wouldn't have a single good day with a woman like that by their sides. One who was cowardly, petty and vicious, no family would be able to rise higher with such a woman by their side.
Lin Yu narrowed his gaze upon hearing the words coming out of Second Madam Lai's mouth. Very well, he was going to remember this... they dared to touch his wife, he would definitely make them learn a lesson that they would think twice before even thinking about touching her!
Fei Qinfan was also startled. He did know that Su Yiqian was not a good woman but he did not expect that she would be this ruthless, did she really have to scheme against Su Wan like this? She was even willing to kill two innocent children! -
