Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 491 I will be out before morning.

Su Wan calmly watched the Wang family miss put on a show and simply sat silently in her cell room, she didn\'t even open her mouth to defend herself because she knew that right now whatever she says will be used against her. Thus, she didn\'t even bother to say a word to this woman.

The yamen officers were having a hard time too, it was true that Su Wan was indeed a commoner and her family didn\'t have any official title but they have heard of the popularity of her shops and knew just how much she earned in just a month. Even with all of their payments combined they would have a hard time raising enough money that will amount to the earnings of one shop and there was also the fact that the man who worked in the restaurant was acquainted with Lord Fei, they have heard rumours that instead of choosing the famous restaurant of the Dong Tong town, the prestigious Lord Fei chose this commoner\'s husband shop and now the two families were really close with each other.

They were afraid to offend the Wang Family but they were even more afraid to offend Lord Fei who was The Emperor\'s imperial uncle whom the emperor respected a lot. Offending him would be the same as offending the emperor! And they were just common officials who worked hard in their duty and sometimes commit small crimes like taking bribes and whatnot.. compared to the emperor they were just small fries. By offending the prestigious Lord Fei they didn\'t want to make themselves subject to the scrutiny of the Emperor!

When they went to catch the criminal as per Lady Wang\'s complaints they just wanted to scold the latter a little bit like before and let go but who would have known that the esteemed Lady Wang who was famous for her beauty and grace was nothing but an arrogant young lady who was too spoiled to know how the world worked.

" Lady Wang" the honest looking Yamen officer felt a headache coming as he repeated the same thing all over again that he has been telling her for the past few hours. " I know and agree that you have suffered a lot but I am afraid there is not much we can do, the products that you purchased were indeed faulty and yes, you received quite a trouble from them but-" inhaling a deep breath and remembering the name of the lord to give him the patience that he clearly didn\'t have in his body, the officer continued " this is not a serious crime, at best we can only keep this young lady at the prison cell for a night and that\'s all, the punishment that you are asking for is too severe for some itchy rashes."

" You mean to say that I am being dramatic!" cried lady Wang, in her anger, she didn\'t notice that the people surrounding her gave her a \' yes you are\' expression as she was too focused on the yamen officer who was still pleasantly smiling at her despite the pulse that was throbbing in his temple.

He raised a hand and with a polite smile declined the accusations that were being hurled at him. " I didn\'t say that but you are asking us to perform physical punishment on a lady whose only fault was to sell a damaged product, and what\'s more there is no evidence that she was the one who was at fault, we cannot administer such a heavy punishment without concrete evidence that she alone was the one at fault."

Lady Wang was stunned, she has never been treated like this before. Clearly, she was the one who was suffering, wasn\'t she? And it was because of this Su woman who didn\'t make a decent product yet opened such a big shop in the town, so why wasn\'t justice being given to her as she deserved? She glared at the officer and then turned to look at Su Wan who was calmly sitting in the prison cell." This isn\'t the end just you wait."

After that, she stomped out of the yamen leaving a trail of fury behind her.

Once she was gone, the Yamen officer turned to Su Wan and smiled apologetically before untying her binds. " Sorry, about this. Don\'t worry, we are all good people, we won\'t hurt you, you just need to patiently wait till tomorrow morning and then you can go home."

Su Wan nursed her wrists, though they didn\'t bind her tight enough for her to get hurt but her wrist still got sore after being tied for so long. She blew out a calming breath to calm herself from cursing at the yamen officer fully understanding why he was treating her well. She smiled and then gave the yamen officer a non-threatening smile as she said " Don\'t worry about it, I will be out before the morning."

The officer was stunned, he looked at her in surprise and double blinked his eyes before muttering " Eh? But the yamen closes at five after that no one can do anything."

Su Wan didn\'t answer him and just kept smiling politely, her smile held a mysterious touch to it that made the officer shiver. Why does it feel like he was going to be in trouble tonight?
