Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers-Chapter 691: Chance to fight back

Dedicating todays chapter to moondark.

Su Wan was sure that she was not understanding a thing that Lin Rui was saying, so what if the headmaster praised her cooking skills? It still did not explain why she was suddenly sent these many boxes of seafood. And even if there was a bet between the Emperor and the headmaster of the academy what can she do about it?

Lin Rui saw that she was confused and explained patiently, " You might not know this but no sooner the headmaster arrived at the capital, the letters from Lord Fei also arrived, I believe that the Emperor must have been in awe upon seeing that not only his teacher but his uncle was actually coming to the rescue of a young lady from the countryside." 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

Su Wan's face vividly lit up, though she did not want to make a fuss with the imperial family, it looked like the train has already left its station. What to do, what kind of tragedy was this?

" And after that, the Emperor must have thought something, as for what went through his head no one knows about it but he suddenly gave out the orders for these things to be brought to the town, I think that he is trying to test you out or maybe give you an opportunity to fight back."

" Fight back?" Su Wan slowly echoed Lin Rui's words as she thought about what he said and finally came to a realisation. " He wants me to make these things famous such that the territory that has been selling them would be able to make a complete turnover!"

" Smart," Lin Rui ruffled her hair and praised her for her wits. " The Emperor might be the ruler of the country but he has to think over a lot of things as well, even though Lord Fei and headmaster Yuan have stood up for you, he can't just make things difficult for a concubine who has a wealthy and influential background and that too for a commoner woman, I would have liked to make it so that your status wouldn't have become a hindrance for you but it would take me two years at most to reach to the point where no one would be willing to find trouble with you … however we don't have the time to wait for two years until the imperial family holds another exam for an official position, that is why the headmaster and the Emperor came up with this plan."

He had thought about it carefully and only now he was able to understand why the headmaster agreed to bring these things with him. After Lin Rui came to a realisation, he was left dumbstruck to think that he was still this weak.

" The headmaster and the Emperor have come up with a compromise if you can help that territory then you will be making a great achievement for the financial stability of the country and that way if someone from the imperial family is making things difficult for you then given your achievements, the Emperor will be able to punish them properly."

Su Wan finally understood why these boxes were bestowed on her, at first she just wanted to stay in the town and live a normal life but after seeing things through she was able to understand that no matter how much she wanted to leave a normal life she would not be able to if someone was to target her. Then it would be better for her to fight back with everything that she has got!

" So, can you do it?" Lin Rui asked after a short while as he looked at Su Wan with a hesitant expression, he wasn't worried that he and his brothers would not be able to protect her. They will definitely keep her safe but it will be better for Su Wan to gain a title as well, her being a commoner lady was making things too easy for the ones who were eyeing her.

Just like right now, if she had a title would the Su family be able to threaten her like that?

Of course not! They would have thought it a lot of times before doing something as foolish as trying to make things difficult for Su Wan.

" I can," Su Wan of course understood the severity of the situation, this was a rare opportunity given by the Emperor for her to fight against her bully. She knew that the Emperor was only showing face to the headmaster and he didn't believe that she would be able to do it, if not then he wouldn't have sent those slimy wild eels and squids to her. These things were really hard to make if someone did not know how to make them, surely the Emperor thought that she as a small village woman wouldn't have any idea about these things, as for lobsters, spineless cuttlefish, mackerel and clams, these things were even harder to cook.

If she was really a commoner woman then she would be scratching her scalp but who was she? She was Su Wan! The woman who built a restaurant in the modern world from the scratch, what kind of delicacy has she not eaten before? Not only did she eat the dishes from her own country she even went to many countries to taste their dishes as well.

Dealing with these things was as easy as eating pie for her!

" Really, are you sure Wan Wan?" Lin Rui did want Su Wan to gain a title but he didn't want her to push herself too much. "If you can't do it then there is no need to push yourself, you can always take care of yourself——"

"All right, what are you scared of?" Su Wan was burning with fighting spirit, it has been a long time since someone looked down on her. Not only will she take this bet on but also… " I will make that God uncle of mine grovel at his feet!"

To think that the Emperor dared to look down on her and tried to make things difficult for her by sending her these things if she didn't make him pay then wouldn't her title as the shrew of the night market will go down the drain? Anyone who looked down at her had to be slapped in the face!
