Su Wan was not only warning him but also giving him a heads-up. Madam Pei was not a good woman even if she wanted to look at the brighter side it was impossible to do so. She was not someone who would jump to conclusions but from what she had heard Madam Pei did not sound like a good wife.
If anything she sounded possessive and controlling, it was as if she wanted her husband to look and listen to her alone.

Though Su Wan had nothing against that woman, she was quite upset with the way that woman was acting. She actually agreed to ruin her reputation just because Pei Huai and her were working together? A woman like her would bring her a lot of trouble.
She glanced at Pei Huai whose expression was full of embarrassment and humiliation before saying, " If this is how your wife is going to be then I assure you that you will not be holding your position for a long time. I can always deal with you, Lord Pei."
She now had the power to make the final decisions in the county magistrate's office. As long as Su Wan did not go too far, she could easily kick a few officials out of the office, this was the reason why most of the officials including the ones who went against her were now polite and cordial in front of her without showing any signs of unhappiness in front of her.
When Pei Huai heard Su Wan's warning he trembled but he did not blame her. After all, it was his wife who was in the wrong. She actually came up with such a shocking and terrifying plan to ruin Su Wan's reputation. If there was anyone else in place of Su Wan, she would have already kicked him out of the office rather than warning him.
She made my daughter marry that good for nothing."
There was a reason why her daughter, Lai Yiqian was married to a useless scholar and that was because of Lai Pan. That woman was doubtful that her daughter was trying to seduce her husband which was why, Lai Pan introduced her daughter to that useless man.
Back then Lai Jinfu said all sorts of nonsense and even promised her daughter that he would surely become a scholar and then climb up to the position of an official, the result nothing!
Pei Huai felt like all his clothes had been stripped and he was standing in the middle of a street naked. His face was flushed red in shame as he looked at the ground. He knew that his wife was a bit crazy but he did not think that she was doing something so terrible behind his back. Su Wan was right just how many women were ruined because of that woman and just because she was jealous?
He breathed out and then turned to look at Su Wan before saying, " What do you think county magistrate Su? What should I do about my wife?"
Su Wan turned to look at him and asked, "Isn't she your wife? Why are you asking me about how to control her?"
Pei Huai smiled embarrassingly and then replied, "It's not that I do not want to punish her but she and I have been married for a long time. I worry that I will go soft-hearted."
When Su Wan heard his words, she thought about it and then said to him, " Just catch her in the act and then make her admit what she was doing, either she does that or she bangs the gong at the Yamen and announces what she was ordered to do. If she does not then you can tell her that you are going to divorce her. As long as she offends her family you will have a lot better control over her."
