Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 799: Laying the cards on the table

Chapter 799: Laying the cards on the tableImperial concubine Su's hand which was holding the cup of tea jolted and the cup fell to the ground. At first, she thought that she had misheard the hidden guard which was why she parted her rosy lips and asked, " What did you say? Say it again!"


From Imperial concubine Su's reaction the hidden guard had already deduced that there was indeed something fishy about her relationship with Su Bai, he gritted his teeth while cursing his luck.
How come he was the one who got entangled in this mess?
Though the hidden guard was cursing his luck, he still dutifully replied, " A man named Su Bai is here to see you, your highness. He...He said that if you don't come and see him, he will definitely make things difficult for you."
"It's impossible!" Imperial concubine Su who was sitting on the couch immediately stood up and viciously glared at the hidden guard while breathing heavily as she said, " Tell me that you are lying! Say it!"
There was no way Su Bai, that old bastard would come looking for her here, there was no way he will be able to find out about her identity. It's simply impossible, something like exchanging souls was quite beyond one's imagination and no one will believe something like this. 𝗇𝑜𝒱𝔢𝗅𝐮𝑠𝚋.𝒞𝒐𝓂
He must be scaring her, that's right. That old bastard must be scaring her.
Though Imperial concubine Su had such thoughts, she still couldn't stop her thumping heartbeat, she had a feeling that the hidden guard was not making things up and Su Bai was indeed in the capital.
But how? Imperial Concubine Su questioned in her head but soon an answer formed in her head and her entire expression couldn't help but twist.
" Su Wan!" Imperial Concubine Su gritted her teeth as she spat Su Wan's name, she had a feeling that this matter had something to do with that Su Wan who had taken over her body.
That shameless b*tch! Not only did she take over her body and slept around with five men, she even dared to send trouble to her doorstep!
Though Imperial Concubine Su was furious, she slowly calmed down as she thought about how Su Bai will not be able to make things troublesome for her, even if he knew that she was his daughter so what? Her face was no longer the same and she shared no blood ties with Su Bai anymore, she can always deal with him.
Imperial Concubine Su tightened her grip on the handkerchief and almost shredded it into bits before parting her lips as she said, " Take me where they are."
She then walked out of the palace's courtyard which belonged to her and headed towards the carriage. As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, her face which was filled with gloomy shadows swiftly changed and a smile etched on her lips.
The hidden guard who was following Su Wan shuddered when he saw her change in expression, the woman in front of him was like a poisonous snake. From pretending to be harmless to stabbing someone in the back, she was capable of everything.
Outside the gates of the capital, Su Bai and his family along with the Lin family had finished their performance. After their last tear drop fell, even the guards who were standing outside the capital's gates could not help but feel sorry for them.
Just as Su Bai raised his hand and wiped his eyes, she noticed Imperial Concubine Su's concubine coming towards them while brushing past the commoners in the narrow street.
As soon as his eyes fell on the carriage, he could not help but sneer. Though Su Bai was from a small village, he knew that the carriage which was heading their way was enough for villagers like them to live a comfortable life for months!
Yet this selfish girl never thought of even thinking of helping them!
Su Bai's mind was sharper than anyone in the family which was why he sat down on the ground and sobbed heavily, " I did not wish to come here, after all, we were the ones who turned Minister Su away but what else can we do? Our farms, our house everything …we have lost everything if we did not come here then we might even lose our lives."
Seeing Su Bai cry, Old Madam Su's mind churned, she too sat down on the ground and started to cry, " The heavens are killing us, I am an old woman with my feet dangling in the grave. I don't care what happens to me but if something was to happen to my son and grandchildren what will I do? I swear I have no other intentions to come here other than asking for help, just a few taels…help us with just a few taels and we will return."
Imperial Concubine Su who was sitting in the carriage: "….."
She wanted to go back and never see these people. Her heart could not be any more shocked, though she was mentally prepared she still thought that there might be a chance to make things turn around. But these blood-sucking leeches they were really here!
What's more, they had a relationship with her father, how was that possible?!
Imperial Concubine Su's head was throbbing but she still turned to look at her maid and said, " Go and call the man who is crying in the front."
She wanted to see what kind of ploys Su Bai had come up with!

The maid nodded and then turned around to climb out of the carriage as she headed towards Su Bai who was sitting on the ground, when her eyes fell on his dishevelled appearance as if he was a beggar, she couldn't help but be disdainful towards him but because of the order which was given to her by her mistress, she did not dare to show it on her face.
" My missy has called you to talk, please come with me," the maid spoke to Su Bai who stopped crying and nodded but because he was pretending to be a filial son and an honest person, he first helped his mother and then turned to the maid as he said, " Take me to your mistress."
