Chapter 704: Who was he ?
For her it was not difficult to make a hybrid flower, she was thrown into the countryside by her father when she was young and she learned many things from farming and butchering to grafting flowers and cooking new dishes every day.
It was her grandmother who wanted her to learn a bit of everything, according to her even if one was to be deprived of the right to education, as long as they were skilled they will be able to survive. Her grandma never wanted her to become a rich woman, all she wanted was to make sure that Su Wan will be able to survive no matter in what situation, she was in.
Back then, she wasn't able to go to school or a good university, her grandma tried really hard but in the village, there were no good schools and she couldn't send her to school to get a proper education. Her father could care less about her and as for her mother, it was better not to even think about that woman. In the end Su Wan spent a good deal of her time in the countryside where she learned a h.e.l.l lot of things, it was just her good luck that it was the time when the agriculture industry was in full bloom and many villagers were trying their hands on hybrid vegetables and flowers.
Her grandmother raised her when her father who gave life to her didn't want her to so much as survive, that was why Su Wan has learned everything that her grandmother wanted to, if she wanted to thank anyone for the comfortable life that she was living right now, she would have to thank her grandma.??eℯ???????Ɩ. co?
Number one who was listening to Su Wan's chatter rolled his eyes, he didn't believe a thing she was saying. True, the woman knew how to take care of that stinky fish but that was something one could learn after many hits and trials, who knows this woman might have gotten a chance to get her hands on the cap fish that she called squid before.
But making a flower that n.o.ble and unique was something that not many can achieve.
Even Fei Qinfan thought that Su Wan was saying something that was too far-fetched but she didn't care about what Fei Qinfan or his bodyguard thought about her, the two of them were here as her guests and she didn't need to please them.
She looked at the two of them and calmly said, " Whether I can or cannot bloom this flower, won't you two know once it blooms? I can a.s.sure you that other than me, no one will be able to produce a flower like this and if I fail then no one can even get as close as to where I am now."
Fei Qinfan thought about it and nodded his head, what Su Wan said indeed made sense. " I see, if you say that you can make this flower bloom then I will, of course, believe you, after all, there is no way the wife of a scholar would lie to a member of the imperial family."
Su Wan of course heard the hint of warning in Fei Qinfan's tone and laughed at his futile attempt at making her bow down to him, she nodded her head and said, " You are right, I am Lin Rui's wife, the scholar who would be appearing for the Tongshen exams soon, there is no way I will lie and ruin his reputation for a small flower."
Fei Qinfan was surprised, seeing that she wasn't deterred he understood that Su Wan was most probably speaking the truth and not pulling his legs.
On the other hand, Su Wan also carefully scrutinised the man sitting in front of her, even though he said that he was the nephew of Lord Fei, she was more and less suspicious of his ident.i.ty. And now that she heard him use that imperious and ' you have to abide by my rules,' tone she was even sure that this man was hiding something from them. There was no way for just a nephew of an official to be this imperious and arrogant.
From his tone, it was obvious that he was used to ordering people around without fear.
She has never been to the capital, which was why she was clueless about the man sitting beside her, when he told her that he was the maternal nephew of Lord Fei, she had no other choice but to believe him.
Su Wan decided to test the waters out, she needed someone to back her up against the Concubine who was targeting her for absolutely no reason.
From what Lord Fei said he has already asked his nephew, the Emperor to look for the culprit but even after careful consideration and investigation, none of the consorts and concubines of the lower level was found guilty which could means only one thing, out of the seven imperial consorts who had the biggest family backing were behind the case of her a.s.sa.s.sination.
The families belonged to many big clans and the members of these families held a lot of important positions in the imperial palace, offending even a single imperial consort for a commoner woman was something even the Emperor couldn't do after all these families were like big tigers that could pounce on the Emperor at any time.
That was why the Emperor had asked Su Wan to prove her importance to the empire only then he will be able to go against one of those seven families with a justified reason. Su Wan was sure that she will be able to take matters into her hands sooner or later but reforming a fief was not an easy job, it will take months maybe years.
Until then she will have to rely on someone else to protect her, someone who can go against the concubine with a firm foothold. If it was before she wouldn't have even thought about it but now that she was with a child, she has to think about her child first before anything else, if Fei Qinfan was indeed someone who can go against that imperial consort, then she will have to make use of him as much as she could!
