Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 40
Advertisement
The beautiful spring had passed and coming to bid it goodbye was the cold winds of early autumn. Su Wan shivered as the wind rustled past her with cold dew settling down her hair and clothes , it was still early in the morning yet they were walking in the middle of the street in nothing but summer clothes .
The previous Su Wan was really poor despite being the only daughter of a mistress of a big household , thus , the clothes that she packed was also thin and washed out . Every time wind blew past her , Su Wan would involuntarily shivered and clutched on Lin Yu 's arm even tighter for warmth .
Lin Yu who saw Su Wan tremble because of the cold let her lean on to him , even though his heart trembled with a sudden itch . He knew that Su Wan was feeling cold thus , he let her get closer to his body so that she could share his warmth but even this proximity was enough to make his face blush bright red !
Su Wan who was busy looking around in fascination didn't notice the oddity in Lin Yu infact everytime she felt cold , she would rub her hand on Lin Yu 's arm who in turn would blush even more furiously . To Su Wan this action wasn't that bad after kissing Lin Chen in broad light her courage that was restrained because of getting transmigrated in an ancient era suddenly grew even bold and she stopped restraining herself completely .
Not to mention it was really cold ! What was more important paying attention to moral conduct or saving yourself from getting a cold ? Ofcourse it was the latter ! Su Wan didn't want to get a runny nose thus she continued hugging Lin Yu .
Just like Lin Yu the others too have seen that Su Wan was feeling cold , so Lin Rui hurriedly flanked Su Wan while Lin Jing started walking in front of her so that his tall body might be able to block the cold winds . Even Lin Yan who was always on odd with her started walking closely behind her like her personal heater .

Su Wan who was now packed like a precious egg felt warmth bubble in her heart and she finally let go of her remaining anger. Aye , who told her to be so soft hearted? ( lol yes you are really soft hearted , you are so soft hearted that you skinned Grandma Lin )
Together with the Lin brothers who were flanking around her like bodyguards , Su Wan arrived at the embroidery shop that belonged to the original owner's mother.
The shop wasn't small at all .It comprised of two floors , the bottom floor sold the rough and coarse cloth as well as the finished products that the commoners could easily purchased while the second floor most probably sold the high end luxurious products that only those with money could afford .
Despite such an impressive display the shop was deserted with zero customers around . Su Wan frowned and then she looked left then right , the shop was located at the busiest street , the peddlers were shouting , the shops near her shop was filled with hustle and bustle only her shop was desolate and empty .
Su Wan shifted her foot and just as she was going to enter the shop and impatient voice most probably belonging to the manager stopped her " I have already told you that our shop has no extra clothes for winter ! What do you mean by - oh , hello , how can I help you ?"
The woman whom Su Wan assumed as the manager quickly changed her impatient expression and politely greeted her . The woman looked over forty but she had somehow managed herself well , she was really beautiful in a mature kinda way and she was dressed appropriately not lavishly like the rich ladies but well enough to let people know that she was important .
Su Wan arched an eyebrow than she took out the title deed from her cloth bag and showed it to the woman " I'm Su Wan my late mother was the owner of this shop , she was the eldest lady of the old Shen family"

The middle age woman took the title deed with trembling hands and warmly gushed once she examined the title deed and realized it wasn't fake " My lady - oh , my lady you are finally here ! " the middle aged woman dabbed her eyes with her handkerchief as she invited Su Wan and the others inside the shop .
Su Wan and the others entered the shop while the woman guided them inside . She took them to a room which wasn't small but it wasn't big either , except some stools , table and some clothes with unfinished embroidery on them was inside the room .
" Please sit down, miss " said the woman then she turned to look at her assistant and asked her to bring some tea and cakes . Since , Su Wan was indeed thirsty after walking so much she didn't stand on ceremony either.
" Yes madam Cheng " complied the assistant and walked out of the room .
" Its so great , so great that you are here " with voice that trembled under her excitement Madam Cheng shook Su Wan's hand " Miss , if you were two months late , I don't know whether you would have been able to see this shop here "
Su Wan naturally understood what Madam Cheng was getting at , to make someone feel so despaired . Only Su family was capable of doing this !
" madam Cheng , did the Su family cause you trouble ?" asked Su Wan she was so disgusted with the Su family for making a poor woman this despaired that she wished she could change her name !
" Trouble ? If the Su family only brought trouble then it wouldn't be much of a problem . I'm an old widow , what troubles have I not seen ? " said Madam Cheng with a mocking sneer " however , the Su family is not just a trouble making family ! That family is the harbinger of bad luck !"

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
