In her previous life, she was tricked into marriage, abused, and tragically died, taking two lives with her.
After rebirth, Cen Yan's first priority was to break off the engagement! The s...
Chapter 121: The smugness on his face could not be suppressed
"I was the one who shouted. A thief just broke into my room and reached under my pillow to take something!" Cen Yan stepped forward and said, "It was a woman. She was a little fat, but not very fat. Did anyone see any suspicious figure slipping out of the front door when they came out?"
After she said this, Cen Dahe walked to the gate and took a look.
"The door was securely locked from the inside and has never been opened by anyone," he said.
"That's strange. Who would sneak into my room and steal things? Our second house is penniless and we don't have anything valuable!" Cen Yan said puzzledly.
"Who said there is nothing? Don't you have a jade bracelet?" Gao was a little more sober now. Thinking of the bracelet that was taken away from her by Cen Fangqiang and later fell into Cen Yan's hands... she couldn't help but speak in a bad tone.
"That bracelet? Yes, if my aunt hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about it! But the problem is, it seems that only our family knows that I got the bracelet? Could it be that someone went out and spread it? Did someone tell about the ugly things of our Cen family?" Cen Yan heard the dissatisfaction in Gao's words and immediately said this to her deliberately.
"Uh..." Gao was immediately caught off guard.
This scandal started from her and was fermented by her son.
Whether it was that she secretly took another sum of money from Wei Zan without the knowledge of the Cen family, or that her son used fake goods to deceive the family, if either of them were made public, they and their son would be ridiculed by others, and Old Man Cen and Old Lady Cen would hate them.
"I dare not talk about such things! I believe that no one in the family will go out and talk nonsense! If I find out who is gossiping outside, I will definitely tell my parents! My parents will not forgive them!" Gao said immediately in a loud voice.
"Haha, anyway, it wasn't our second branch that said that. We wouldn't go around telling everyone that we had a jade bracelet 'worth seventy taels' in the house. Wouldn't that be intentional to attract thieves?" Cen Yan said with a smile.
"Our third room hasn't told anyone!" Yu said quickly upon hearing this.
"I'm so sleepy! In my opinion, since this person is not an outsider, then there must be a thief in the house!" Cen Ying was so sleepy that he could not open his eyes and said irritably.
"The thief? It's not our eldest wife!"
"It's not our third room either!"
"Then it's definitely not our second room!"
Gao, Yu and Cen Yan spoke in turn.
Cen Ying finally seemed to be more sober now.
She scanned the figures in the third room one by one, and finally rolled her eyes: "Could it be..."
She didn't say the next words.
But everyone understood what she meant instantly.
The only people who knew that the second house had the bracelet and that it was in Cen Yan's hand were, besides the people from the old Cen family, Cen Fang's family who stayed here last night.
"Let's search it!" Cen Yan suddenly suggested. She looked at Cen Ying and said, "Aunt, when you came out of the house just now, did you see anyone enter the main house?"
"I didn't see it, I can be sure of that. I was the first one to get up in the family." Cen Ying shook her head. Among the rooms in the house, the only one adjacent to the main house was the big house, followed by her small house, which was also next to the main house. And because it was adjacent to the second room's room, she was the first one to hear the noise made by Cen Yan from the second room.
She shuddered and got up quickly.
After getting up, there was no one in the main room, not to mention that there was no sound from the door.
The door was a bit old and made a loud creaking sound when it opened and closed.
"I can also be sure that no one has entered or left the main room since I got up," she added.
"Then the person either doesn't live in the main house, or he hasn't returned yet. As long as we search the kitchen, toilet, cowshed, and the west room where sundries are stored, we will definitely be able to find this person!" Cen Yan said.
"Okay! Let's search now!" Gao was the first to respond.
Whenever she thought that the thief who broke into the second house and stole things was most likely Cen Fang, she became so excited that she was not sleepy at all and was full of energy.
She has planned it.
If she was the one who pulled Cen Fang out, she would definitely take advantage of the darkness and beat Cen Fang up severely to vent her frustration and the many harsh injustices she had suffered because of her!
"Brother Dajiang, you stay here and keep an eye on her. If anyone tries to sneak out and hide in the house while we are looking for someone, catch her immediately!" Gao instructed Cen Dajiang again.
"Okay, I understand." Cen Dajiang nodded.
Although he hadn't said anything, he was now clearer in his mind.
It is most likely the eldest sister.
He has always been in awe of his eldest sister.
In front of his elder sister, he never dared to breathe or say a word "no", but that didn't mean he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction in his heart.
Now that he had the chance to find out what wrong his elder sister had done, he certainly couldn't let it go.
If she is really caught, I wonder how she will have the nerve to act like a big sister in front of him in the future!
At this time, Gao, Yu and Cen Ying all began to look for someone in the yard.
"Hurry! Take another look in the kitchen!" Cen Yan stood there and directed them loudly.
No one realized there was anything wrong.
After all, at a time like this, everyone wants to seize the opportunity to take a good look at Cen Fang making a fool of herself.
After a while, they searched every room in the house, even the chicken coop, pigpen and cowshed, but there was no sign of Cen Fang.
"The outhouse! You haven't checked the outhouse yet!" Cen Yan shouted loudly towards the outhouse again.
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go to the toilet and check!" Gao, Yu and Cen Ying hurried over to the toilet again.
At this moment, a figure suddenly walked out of the toilet automatically.
The three of them suddenly stopped.
I only heard that person say in a puzzled and scolding tone: "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and running out here to make a fuss? Aren't you afraid of waking up your parents and letting them have a bad sleep?"
Gao, Yu and Cen Ying were all extremely excited!
It’s indeed Cen Fang!
"Sister, we want to ask you, why are you hiding in the toilet so late at night instead of sleeping?" Cen Yingxian asked.
"What do you mean by hiding in the toilet? I suddenly had diarrhea, so I came out to use the toilet!" Cen Fang frowned, her tone full of impatience. As she spoke, she was about to go to the main house.
"Wait!" Gao stepped forward and stopped her.
"Gao? What do you want to do? Get out of the way! I've had diarrhea for a long time and now I'm tired and sleepy. I just want to go back to sleep!" When Cen Fang saw that she dared to stop her, she immediately scolded her loudly.
"Sister, why are you in such a hurry?" Gao said slowly, with a smug smile on her lips that she could hardly suppress.
