Chapter 498 Did they bully you
The officer had to cajole Su Wan for a long time before the latter was willing to come out of the prison cell, once she stepped out Su Wan arched her back and twisted her body around to get rid of the stiffness. The small confinement room wasn’t made to accommodate two people thus, she and her cellmate had to adjust a bit here and there, now that she was out of the small room, Su Wan moved around a little to move her stiff muscles, then she turned around and waved her hand at the cellmate who entertained her for the past few hours, ” thank you for taking care of me, I will see you soon. Till then, take care.”When the officer heard her words his first reaction was;￣ロ￣）then he immediately prayed to God that this big Buddha never steps inside the yamen ever again, because if she did who knows how many days of his life would be taken away. Worried that Su Wan would change her mind and go back inside to finish off the game that she was playing, the officer hurriedly closed the door of the prison cell and forced a smile as he motioned for Su w\Wan to follow him, ” Come with me, Miss Su. I will take you to your family.”
Su Wan naturally didn’t refuse though she wanted to teach this officer a good lesson for sucking up to the strong while bullying the weak, she had no plans of staying the night in the cramped cell room thus, she too imitated the smile of the officer and mimicked his actions, ” after you.”
The main lobby of the yamen wasn’t far away from the prison, Su Wan only had to walk for ten minutes before she arrived at the main lobby where her husbands, uncles and her god grandfather were waiting for her, she walked over to them but before she could get closer to them, Lin Chen who was already on his tenterhooks rushed towards her. His heart has been uneasy and impatient, only Lin Chen knew just how he sat still in that stupid chair with his tumultuous emotions. ” Are you okay? Did someone bully you in here?”
After saying this he immediately glared at the officer who led Su Wan to the main lobby, Lin Chen hadn’t forgotten that it was this officer who handcuffed Su Wan and brought her here. At first, he thought that this officer was honest looking and was only doing his job but that was until he found out about the law that provided security to the shopkeepers as well. Good, very good he will never forget this officer and his face, he better not make a grave mistake or else he will gobble him and his job as a Yamen officer!
The officer who was glared by Lin Chen (ーー;), if he knew that this matter will get so troublesome, he wouldn’t have minded caring about dabbling his hands in it! He didn’t even dare to look at the Su girl in the wrong way much less bully her yet the court already convicted him as a criminal! This was simply too much!
Su Wan noticed the glare that Lin Chen was shooting the officer behind her and smiled placatingly. ” I am alright you don’t have to worry about me at all, no one dared to bully and they all were very nice.” Su Wan was already beautiful and when she smiled, she looked even more refreshing and adorable.
One by one the heart of every person who was sitting in the lobby was shot by an arrow, as they immediately gushed ‘ how cute’. Even the officer who brought her here with him in the afternoon was shedding tears of joy as he placed his hands over his mouth to stop the cry that was building in his throat, however, in his heart he was already singing praises of Su Wan, ‘ the lady is so beautiful and cute, even her conduct is good, look at her, she spoke up for him!’
Lin Chen saw Su Wan smile and though he didn’t want to let this matter go just like that he still showed a relieved smile. ” Is that so, then that’s great.” Then he placed his hands on Su Wan’s shoulder and massaged them for a few seconds, he wanted to take Su Wan in his arms and hug her warm body against his but he knew that he couldn’t do that, sometimes he got really scared. Su Wan was just too bold, even if he looked away for a second, she will get miles away from him. ” If someone bullied you here because of me then I would have never forgiven myself.”
” Ahaha,” that’s why I said that no one bullied me you brat, do I look like such a goddess to let go of the officer who made things difficult for us? Thought Su Wan inwardly but she didn’t say her thoughts out loud and simply kept smiling as Lin Chen took her to where the rest of her husbands were, one by one they took a good look at Su Wan and only when they saw that she was fine, did they heaved a sigh of relief. Just like Lin Chen they wanted to embrace Su Wan but they resisted, no matter how bold they were they can never break the stereotypes of the society they were living in, thus, they turned their attention to the head of the Yamen.
Who was bare feet and looked like he came running from his house without properly wearing shoes, noticed Su Wan and immediately felt gleeful, humph this was the right way to treat such corrupt officials if she didn’t have a powerful uncle and god grandfather behind her, she was certain that she would have to spend the night in the Yamen and these officers wouldn’t have been the least bit courteous to her. How despicable.
Lord Fei too glanced at Su Wan, he wanted to coddle his baby granddaughter but he knew that he couldn’t shed his cold and iron ruler personality in front of others, so he unhappily cleared his throat and with a crossed glare looked at the head of the yamen office, ” so can I take my granddaughter back home or there is any other formality that I need to take care of as well?”
