Old Madam Ding nodded as she clasped her hands in front of her like she was praying and then said, " I know, County Magistrate Su. My daughter is engaged to that family but I cannot ignore my conscience, I need to relay the truth to you or else I will not be able to sleep! Ah!"
Old Madam Ding put it really nicely, however, the truth was completely different from what she said to Su Wan. The reason she came with this record to Su Wan was because she knew that her and her daughter's life was not safe. The Lai family was a family that knew how to keep grudges for a long time, unless they were delivered a huge blow they would be able to attack them at any time.
This was why, she had to weaken the Lai family and make sure that her daughter and her life would be safe.
This record was like a key to deal with the Lai family and she wanted to use this key before it caught rust on it.
Su Wan also understood that Old Madam Ding was only saying flowery words to her but she still praised her which made Old Madam Ding even more happy. She did not even think twice before she sold off Eldest Master Lai and Third Master Lai, as the two of them were foolish enough to buy this medicine from the city next to theirs, it was quite easy for Old Madam Ding to procure evidence against them.
Su Wan was already aware of why Old Madam Ding and her daughter came to her house, she asked a maid to bring out a paper and pen and she asked Old Madam Ding to write down her testimony, something that Old Madam Ding quite happily. She even wrote down that the target of this scheme was not her daughter but Su Wan!
She further added that the temple and the Lai family colluded with one another because they were worried that Su Wan would ruin them. They were scared of losing their illegal channels of income and thus tried to ruin Su Wan but ended up catching her daughter who was innocent in the entire matter.
Su Wan smiled gently as she took the testimony and then asked Old Madam Ding and her daughter to leave through the back door while making sure that the information about the two of them coming to her house was completely secured and no one would be able to find out that the two women came to look for her.
She wanted to make this city a popular spot for those who liked to read and enjoy thrilling rides. Though it would be difficult for her to achieve it, she was sure that where everyone had a lot of time to spend on what they enjoyed, her plan was going to succeed, no matter what.
Even if the officials and their mistresses did not have the time, their spoiled children would have the time to do so and her target was the youth of this country from the start anyway!
Fei Qinfan was quite upset when he heard that the next edition was not finished yet, seeing his expression wilt like this, Su Wan was amused and then said, " There is no need for you to look like that, I have already asked Ah Yu to draw the next edition according to the storyline that I have given him, he will be finished with it in a few months."
Of course, Fei Qinfan could not wait for a month which was why he went to look for Lin Yu who was sleeping in his room and woke him up.
" Whats the matter?" Lin Yu asked in a daze, just what kind of emergency could make the prince of a country wake him up in the early morning like this?
" Master Yu, I heard that you were the one who drew this manga thing. Then can you tell me how long will it take for you to finish the next edition?" Fei Qinfan asked as he pointed to the book in his hand.
Lin Yu: "..." If you were not a prince I would have hit you!
Lin Yu looked at Fei Qinfan and though he wanted to smack him on the head, he calmly replied with a smile, " I will need a few more weeks to finish it as I haven't even started it yet."
