Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 709: Flower of love for the one you love.

Fei Qinfan was choked by her words but he did as she said, he wrote a receipt for guarantee and then handed it over to Su Wan. She took it before taking a careful look at it but then she frowned and said,” You missed one point, you need to write that you are going to bring an expert for taking a look at the flower and will buy it at whatever price that I sell with a discount of fifty gold taels.”     

He looked at her in disbelief. ” You really don’t trust me? Do you think I will call for an imperial physician for you if I didn’t have interest in buying that flower?”      

It was as if she was still afraid that he would wrong her in any way, he wasn’t that much of a jerk! He might have a reputation for being a bit of a hooligan but that didn’t mean that he would cheat on a woman like this!     

Su Wan sat down on the stone stool and then asked her maid to bring her two cups of tea and some rice cakes before she rolled her eyes at Fei Qinfan and said, ” This is not a matter of trust, I am simply taking you as guaranteer… you were the one who said that you want to buy the flower but as you know it will take a few months to bloom what if you change your mind till then? What if you come up with the thought that it is not worth it and tell me suddenly that you don’t want it? Then would I not be making a loss? After all, young masters like you are all fickle-minded.”      

Was she forcefully buying and selling things?      

” If you are not sure that you will be buying this no matter what then you can tell me that way, I can ask my god-grandfather to bring me a decent customer or maybe he will be willing to buy it.”      

Fei Qinfan: “….”      

Forget it, he will not quibble with her..since he has decided that he was going to work with her then he might as well go along with her rhythm. The main thing was that he still needed to ride on her coattails when she will work on the southern fief.      

” All right,” though he was speechless he still took the receipt that he has written and then amended it, putting a guarantee that he will be buying it from Su Wan no matter what. Inwardly, however, he was speechless, this was his first time seeing a woman selling something to him so forcefully.      

Seeing him look at her like she was robbing him, Su Wan tilted her head just as her maid returned with two cups of tea. ” Do not fret, I am not joking with you, this flower will really be a hit once it blooms and when that happens you will be the centre of many circles, not only will young masters be sucking up to you, but many young ladies will also try to get close to you. It will be a decent investment if you ask me, who knows ..maybe the flower that is used to confess one’s love to someone might bring you luck and you might find the one for whom you are waiting all along?”     

More importantly, if she was to sell it to a prince then she will surely get a good foothill in the upper circle and be a step closer to that Concubine. The stronger she gets the more flustered that concubine will be because as long as the woman was a concubine and not an empress, Su Wan was certain that she will be able to drag her down from the throne…. After all, did she not drag her dear, arrogant sister and pushed her such that she fell in shame and humiliation?  Surely, she can get a hold of that concubine if she tried harder.      

Fei Qinfan’s eyes lit up, what Su Wan said was indeed right. The thing he was having the most trouble with at the moment was finding a wife because of what the second concubine did, his reputation was in tatters but if he was to get a hold of this rare flower and gift it to a virtuous lady then he will surely be able to marry her right? At least that way she will be able to see his heart.      

And what was more he knew Su Wan and her husbands, from the looks of it, it was clear that they were rather talented, especially Lin Rui. He might have not given the elementary scholar exams yet but it could be seen that he was rather smart or else the headmaster of the Yuan academy would not have taken him as his disciple. The reason headmaster Yuan was willing to bet his reputation by taking in this new disciple was enough to let others know that Lin Rui was really smart.      

If nothing unexpected happens then Lin Rui might be able to become the right or left prime minister in the future with the backing of headmaster Yuan and Lord Fei.      

Befriending such a promising young man wouldn’t be foolish of him.      

” Fine, you don’t have to say anything more…” said Fei Qinfan as he nodded. ” I will write a letter to the imperial palace, I believe that as long as I emphasis that I need an imperial physician, the palace will definitely send one.”      

Su Wan’s lips twitched, really? She was the mastermind behind everything yet her promise and reputation could not be counted on either her husband or the flower that she was raising. Just what kind of world she was living in?      

” Very well, I will be leaving the matter in your hands than young master,” said Su Wan as she pushed the tea that Lin Rui has brought for her from the capital towards Fei Qinfan. ” Don’t forget to drink the tea or it will be a waste.”      

Fei Qinfan could not help but ask, ” Can you not be a bit gentle?”      

” Have you ever seen me acting cruel?” asked Su Wan as she looked at with him a raised of her brow. ” If I really start showing you how ruthless I can be, you will cry tears of regret.”
