Chapter 108: Fear of Regret

"Don't worry, now that you've asked, how can I not get the money for you?" Seeing that her eldest daughter was still so sensible at this time, Old Mrs. Cen patted her hands gently and smiled at her soothingly.

Then, she swept her eyes around the room and finally landed on Cen Dahai.

I only heard her say, "Second brother, go take out all the silver in your room and give it to your eldest sister."

"Mom, I don't care about the money now. I have no say over it." Cen Dahai replied coldly.

After seeing this action of the elder sister whom he once admired so much, his fantasy about her was completely shattered.

So at this moment, he answered very firmly, "If you want silver, just tell Xiaoyan. She will be the head of the second house in the future. If she is unwilling to give it, I, as a father, can do nothing. But if anyone wants to rob it, I will definitely not agree!"

"You rebellious son!" When Old Lady Cen heard that Cen Dahai dared to speak to her like that, she opened her mouth to scold her.

"Mother, it's useless to beat and scold my second brother. Besides, he is no longer the little boy you could beat and scold at will." Cen Fang was afraid that she would not be able to get the money from the second wife, so she quickly grabbed Old Lady Cen and persuaded her.

When Old Lady Cen heard her say this, she felt that there was some truth in it.

Especially in recent days, she has seen the things happening one after another at home.

Now it is indeed the second wife who is in charge.

"Cen Yan, go and get all the silver from your second house and give it to your eldest aunt." Old Mrs. Cen spoke to Cen Yan again.

However, although her words were still in the form of an imperative, they clearly lacked confidence.

Because she felt that Cen Yan would definitely not agree.

This girl has been used to being disobedient recently.

"Grandma, it's not impossible to give the money from our second house to my eldest aunt." Cen Yan was rarely so easy to talk to.

"Why don't you take the silver quickly?" When Old Lady Cen saw that she actually agreed, she thought her words were very intimidating, so she raised her voice and stared at her with full momentum.

"Grandma, we must seek fairness in everything. It doesn't make sense that the money that our second branch has worked so hard to save should be spent by my eldest aunt. You should know that our second branch has a hard time too. Xiao Yang is six years old this year and it's time for him to go to school and learn to read. I also need money to break off the engagement... There are so many places to spend the money. It's impossible for me to just hand over the money like this." Cen Yan said.

"Then what do you want?" Old Mrs. Cen frowned and wanted to curse, but she was afraid that the second wife would get angry, so she refused to give the money to her eldest daughter.

"Okay, I'll pay ten taels of silver to buy this jade bracelet. The ten taels of silver will be given to my aunt, and the jade bracelet will be mine." Cen Yan said.

"What? Ten taels?!" Cen Fang exclaimed immediately.

"What? Didn't aunt say that the jade quality of this bracelet is average and it's worth at most ten taels? But I only have ten taels of silver on hand. Even if aunt thinks it's too little, I can't take out more! Or is this bracelet not worth ten taels at all? Did you deliberately fool grandma and try to defraud the silver?" Cen Yan frowned and looked at Cen Fang questioningly.

Upon hearing this, Cen Fang immediately swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

This is worth one hundred taels of silver!

But she absolutely could not say this.

otherwise……

A bracelet worth one hundred taels of silver was said to be worth only a dozen taels by her. That was definitely...

Old Mrs. Cen will definitely forget the mother-daughter relationship they just had and will completely turn against her!

But a bracelet worth one hundred taels of silver was bought back by Cen Yan for ten taels of silver?

Cen Fang's eyes rolled around as she quickly calculated in her mind.

It's not a big deal for this jade bracelet to fall into the hands of the second wife.

Can't she just wait until she comes back next time and find a way to get the bracelet back?

As soon as this idea came out, Cen Fang felt that it would definitely succeed.

Because she felt that Cen Dahai always listened to her, the eldest sister, and this time her attitude was problematic. Cen Dahai might be a little angry, so he deliberately went against her.

But next time, as long as she coaxes him, he will definitely be willing to give her the bracelet again!

"Mom, give the bracelet to her." Thinking of this, Cen Fang nodded to Old Lady Cen.

She came close to Old Lady Cen and whispered, "Mom, I definitely didn't mean to fool you. I deliberately exaggerated the price of the bracelet. I had some selfish motives and wanted you to be angry with Han Ge'er... But this bracelet is only worth four or five taels at most! Ten taels, we still made a profit!"

When Old Mrs. Cen heard this, she glared at Cen Fang.

Cen Fang knew that she cared about her and actually wanted her to be angry with Han Ge'er, so she immediately explained with a bit of grievance, "Mom, I said this because I felt that you only had Han Ge'er in your heart and didn't have me as your daughter, and I felt uncomfortable. I'm just jealous of Han Ge'er!"

After hearing her explanation, Mrs. Cen's face looked a little better.

"You girl! You have been a mischievous girl since you were young, and you have a lot of ideas!" Old Mrs. Cen tapped her eldest daughter on the forehead lovingly, as if she believed her words.

"Then you can take this bracelet. It costs ten taels of silver. Bring it here now." Old Mrs. Cen handed the jade bracelet to Cen Yan and instructed her in a domineering tone.

"Okay, I'll go back to my room to get the silver." Cen Yan took the bracelet and turned away.

Gao and others saw this scene, but no one stopped it.

Because they also heard what Cen Fang and Old Lady Cen had just whispered.

It turned out to be just a bracelet worth four or five taels of silver.

Maybe even less.

Didn’t Cen Fang say that?

She wanted to make Old Mrs. Cen angry with Cen Han.

The higher the value of the bracelet that Cen Han gave to Gao, the more likely it would be that Old Lady Cen would be angry with Cen Han.

So, this bracelet may not even be worth four taels.

The reason Gao thought so was because she had no idea how much the bracelet was worth.

When Cen Han gave her the bracelet last night, she asked how much it cost, and Cen Han just nonchalantly replied, "It didn't cost me anything."

So, at this moment she naturally thought that this bracelet should not be worth much.

At this time, Cen Fang looked at Gao's indifferent expression and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she lowered her voice just now, she deliberately used a volume that Gao could hear because Gao was standing closer to her.

In this way, Gao will definitely not think of taking the bracelet again.

Then the next time she goes back to her parents' home, the bracelet will definitely still be there.

As for Cen Yan, even if she heard it, she had already said it and there was no way to regret it.

Besides, Cen Yan was quite far away from her and there was no way she could hear it.

Cen Yan indeed did not hear Cen Fang's whispers.

However, this did not affect her judgment that this was a valuable bracelet.

"Aunt, this is ten taels of silver." After a while, she came over from the second room and handed the silver to Cen Fang.

"Yeah." Cen Fang nodded, and seeing that it was neither too much nor too little, she said nothing more and quickly put the silver away, as if she was afraid that the other person would go back on his word.
