" Is the Lai family so bold? Do they dare to harm an official like this? Aren't they looking down on Father Emperor too much?" Fei Qinfan remarked with an angry expression on his face. Though his father was sitting in the capital it did not mean that he was a fool who could be played like an idiot like this, his father was really protective of those who were loyal to the country!

The Lai family was just a local big shot and compared to him who was a prince, they were nothing to him and his father.
" F...Father Emperor?" Second Madam Lai trembled upon hearing Fei Qinfan mention these two words. Was ..Was Su Wan close to the imperial family? Was this a prince?
" You are not telling anything to the Lai family," Su Wan told Second Madam Lai who trembled even more. What had she done? She actually tried to go against someone who was connected to the Imperial family. With this prince standing next to her, Su Wan could ruin their entire family!
Su Wan then said to Fei Qinfan, " Of course, they do not have the courage, why do you think they are choosing someone from a branch that is not directly related to the main family? What's more, they have someone from the capital backing them thus they are not scared." She then turned to look at Second Madam Lai and asked, " The person has a great background right?"
" I don't know whether they have a great background or not but my sister was quite happy and that shadow guard is being treated really well as well, if I did not know any better I would have thought that he is one of our ancestors," remarked Second Madam Lai. She then added, " But I heard from Master Qin that the master of that shadow guard is indeed someone from the capital."
" But they did not tell us who it was."
Su Wan rolled her eyes and then said, " You don't need to think too much about it. It's none other than an imperial concubine who thinks that she can rule the world."
How could Su Wan not know what was going on in the head of Second Madam Lai? She arched a brow and then said, " Don't even think about retreating now. If you dared to betray me then you need to know that compared to your sister, I am much worse."
Second Madam Lai shuddered after hearing Su Wan's sentence she should have known that this woman was not going to let her go so easily. Fortunately she did not do anything bad to this woman or else she would not have had a good ending.
Not only was this woman ruthless and smart, but she also had the old Emperor backing her.
Fei Qinfan turned to look at Su Wan and asked curiously, " What do you think? How are you going to return the favour?"
" What do you think I should do in such a case?" Su Wan did not answer instead he questioned Fei Qinfan. Since he was a member of the Imperial family, he should know better than anyone else how to deal with Su Yiqian.
Fei Qinfan thought for a moment as he turned to look at Second Madam Lai who shook her head and said, " I dare not say anything. I am an old woman and I am too old to go through such excitement."
Only then did he nod and say, " I would love to take revenge. Since that woman wants to trap you then you should go along with her trap and pretend that you have fallen into the pit that she had dug for you but counterattack at the right moment."
" Of course, I would have loved to ruin that woman's reputation but that cannot happen as she is the imperial concubine."
