Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 402 - Don’t Tell Her

Chapter 402 - Don’t Tell Her

Lin Yan said nothing throughout the ride. Luo Xin's blatant disregard for him also bothered Shen Junxi. Though he wasn't a member of any official family, he and his brothers were friends with a good number of officials. This was downright slapping his face! He still felt terrified whenever he thought about what would have happened if he didn't find Lin Yan in time. What would he tell his niece? Su Wan would have never forgiven him if Lin Yan had been taken away tonight. He was both angry and anxious, and he looked deep in thought.
That Luo Xin! Her Fu family was just a declining family! Her son didn't have half of his father's wits! He was muddleheaded and ignorant when it came to making important decisions. Without his father's support, he was just lurking in the murky water of the officialdom with no power! How dare she look down on him! Just because he didn't have an official title? He was Shen Junxi! Him! Shen Junxi looked down on those shady officials who purchased their status! He wasn't willing to buy an official's title, or else he too would have already become a duke or something of a town or village. He was an honorable man!
How dare she look down at him!
"Eldest uncle," Lin Yan's soft voice jolted him out of his contemplation. He looked around his surroundings and realized that they had reached home. Shen Junxi hopped down from the cart and cleared his throat, wanting to berate Lin Yan again for his stupidity. If he didn't, he might go crazy with worry about the aftermath of the incident.
But before he could say anything, Lin Yan interrupted him with a solemn voice. "Eldest Uncle, can you not tell the family what happened? How I was almost kidnapped?"
"Why? We are so late! Your cheek is so red it's almost dripping blood. With one glance, anyone can tell that something happened to you! Why do you want to lie about the situation? What explanation are you planning to give? It's your foolishness! They should thoroughly scold you for it! If I were Wan Wan, I would have broken your legs just in case you decided to make trouble!" Shen Junxi was like a firecracker who finally got his release. His booming voice resonated throughout the clearing. "Stupid boy! Idiot boy! If something had happened to you today, I would have never been able to face Wan Wan! You too would have lost more than -" He paused, breathed in deeply, and shook his head like a bull. "No. I have to tell your family and let them teach you a good lesson, especially Wan Wan. My dear niece went through so much, and you - you just threw all her kindness in a pit! Pei!"
He strode forward briskly, but Lin Yan stopped him, clenching on Shen Junxi's sleeve. Lin Yan resolutely and firmly spoke up. "I understand you are worried about me but don't worry Eldest Uncle-in-law. I am not stupid. I will discuss this matter, and one day I will pay back Fang Zimo and Luo Xin for everything they have done to me. Don't tell Wan Wan, I'm not asking you to keep it from my brothers. She will worry, and I don't want her to worry anymore about me."
Shen Junxi felt his heart soften. He had to admit that he was also worried about telling Su Wan about this incident. Not because he was afraid of startling Su Wan, but because he knew that Su Wan would rush out to deal with Luo Xin. That girl's courage knew no bounds. Honestly, he feared that Su Wan might harm herself in her anger and quest for revenge. "Fine, but you better think of a solution with your brothers. I will try to do what I can. Just so you know, with Lord Fei and I behind you, you shouldn't need to worry about anything." The more Shen Junxi spoke, the more his voice became colder. "I can deal with the aftermath of this incident. As for what you want to do with her, you are free to do anything you like." He raised his hand and patted Lin Yan's head with a gentle expression. "Go ahead and do whatever you want. I will stand right behind you to back you up. As long as you are clean and swift, I can deal with everything, but don't worry about leaving a mess behind. That Fu brat, I'm enough to settle him down, but if I can't do that, then your second uncle will surely get a hold of that brat!"
Shen Junxi wanted to spend more time with Su Wan, but now it looks like he has to ask for a favor from that sly fox for the sake of this brat. And that second brother of his wasn't easy to deal with either. Once he realizes he hid Su Wan from him, he will come after him at once. Thinking about it, the last time he tricked his second brother, he was ten, and that brat was seven. After dealing with everything, the brat came to bite his ass if he wasn't wrong. Literally, for two days, he couldn't sit on a chair.
Just remembering it made his butt throb. It looks like he would lose a piece or two of his butt this time as well.
Shen Junxi sighed. Whatever, for his niece, he was willing to lose a mouthful of meat! Having finished comforting Lin Yan, Shen Junxi pointed over his shoulder. "Let's go. It's already so late. I'm afraid your brothers and Wan Wan must be worrying about us."
Shen Junxi wasn't wrong. They only walked for a short while, and a pale yellow light seemed to flutter over towards them. The more they walked closer to it, the pale yellow light progressed towards them. The person carrying the lantern cheered after catching a glimpse of them and rushed in their direction. "Oh, thank the Lord, you are alright, second brother! Wan Wan and we brothers were so worried about you! You hurry home. I will bring Elder brother and Ah Yu back.. They too went out to find you."𝗳𝚛𝐞𝘦wℯ𝚋𝓷o𝚟el. 𝐜𝘰𝒎
