Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 633 Xin Shi what are you doing here?

　　" You are not going to speak are you?" said Su Wan after she was finished listening to what  Xin Shi said, she knew that the woman wouldn't agree to her act of committing arson so easily so she swooped down and snatched Xin Shi'a hand causing the latter to scream out loud. " You think that you are the only person who is smart huh? Everyone else is a fool, right? Your hands still smell of oil and splint. Who do you think that you are trying to fool? You were running to the river so that you can wash your hands were you not? Or else why would you have shot out so crazily when you noticed I have caught you, wanted to destroy the evidence didn't you?" 

　　Xin Shi stiffened but she still shook her head and said, " What are you talking about? Why will I set your fields on fire? I was just taking a walk around the village after cooking dinner but then I saw that your fields are on fire, I knew that you will blame me, that's why I ran away because I didn't want to get in trouble for something that I didn't do."

　　Su Wan exchanged a glance with Lin Yan and then suddenly said, " Let me just slap her straight a little Yan." 

　　" I said no, Wan Wan," Lin Yan dragged Su Wan back as he looked at Xin Shi who was pretending to be the victim despite being the one who ruined their fields. He looked at the two guards and said, " Bring her with us, we will see what the village head says, since she is willing to do it then I want to see how long can she hide it." 

　　" What do you mean by bringing me to the village head, I have done nothing wrong!" snapped Xin Shi as she was pulled to her feet by the two guards who raised their brows when they noticed just how lively Xin Shi was being now. A second ago when they caught her she was acting like they have hurt her really badly but now she was shouting and screaming like she was all right. The two looked at each other and shook their heads—— really the women in the village were just as bad as those scheming concubines in the palace, if anything they were worse daring to commit arson as such. 

　　" We will see whether the village head and the others think so too," said Lin Yan as he coldly glared at Xin Shi whose mouth got zipped under his raging glare. " You don't need to give any further explanation to anyone, we will see what the others have to say about your sudden appearance and then disappearance from the fields." 

　　With that, he motioned the two guards to follow them to the melon fields. 

　　By the time Su Wan and Lin Yan returned to the fields, the fire has been stopped from spreading all over the melon fields but even then almost half of the melon crops were gone because of the raging fire and the remaining half that was saved from getting burned down——it also looked like it wasn't going to survive even if it somehow managed to survive this calamity. 

　　Seeing a field of melon getting destroyed like that, Su Wan felt her heartache. She wanted to fight it out with Xin Shi but decided to stop herself given that the entire village was standing there but even so she wished she could kick that bitch once more!

　　" Wan Wan!" Lin Chen was the first to notice Su Wan and Lin Yan who returned with Xin Shi in tow and rushed to get to them, following his shout everyone else too turned to look at Su Wan and Lin Yan feeling relieved upon seeing that both of them were all right. 

　　" You two where did you go?" scolded  Shen Zizhen as he looked at Lin Yan and Su Wan feeling rather angry. " If there was something that was happening then you should have told us, I would have sent my men to look for it why did you two have to chase after danger like that? What would have happened if one of you got hurt huh?" 

　　" That's right, Wan Wan..what were you thinking coming here alone with this brat, did you even think about what we would have done if something happened?" Shen Junxi was just as worried as Shen Zizhen when he heard that there was a fire in the fields and Su Wan has rushed there without a guard, he was so anxious that he rushed out straight from the bed and now he was felling the chill around his legs since he was only wearing a long shirt and robe as his nightdress. 

　　Madam Zhu and the rest also wanted to come but Shen Junxi and Shen Zizhen stopped them as for Shen Tian. The latter was a bit too sick and frail to keep up with them and was now panting like a dead horse after dousing the fire with water, but his care for Su Wan was not less than anyone else as he got to his feet and somehow managed to walk up to Su Wan as he said, " That's right Wan …Wan, you sho..shouldn't leave the house without a guard, you know?" 

　　" I am sorry," knowing that she has caused everyone to worry,  Su Wan immediately accepted her mistake as she looked at her uncles and family. " I didn't want to make you all worry, in fact, I didn't even think that it was our fields that were on fire, I just thought that something happened and came to check, who would have thought that it was our fields that were set on fire." 

　　"It's all right, as long as you are fine," said Lin Jing as he patted Su Wan's head and that was when his gaze fell on Xin Shi who was struggling to get away from the guards who were holding her down. " Xin Shi? What are you doing here?"
