Chapter 138 Who can threaten whom?

"Rebellion! Rebellion!"

Seeing that the third wife refused to help and the first wife was threatened and dared not step forward, Old Lady Cen was so angry that she raised her hand and pointed at them, cursing, "None of you are useful. What's the point of me raising you? What's the point! You are a bunch of ungrateful wolves!"

"Grandma, no one wants to be unfilial to you, it's just that you like to make trouble too much!"

Cen Yan had her father to protect her, so she had nothing to fear. She looked at Old Lady Cen with a sarcastic look, coldly looking at her helpless and pitiful appearance, "If you hadn't insisted on making such a scene before dawn today, the series of events that followed would never have happened."

"In the past, when I asked you to get up so early to work, none of you dared to disobey me! What do you mean by I'm looking for trouble? It's obviously you guys from the second branch who have become bolder!" But Old Mrs. Cen didn't think it was her fault.

"Grandma said that was in the past. We should face the reality!" Cen Yan said with a slight curl of his lips.

"Why? I won't accept it!" Old Mrs. Cen stared at Cen Yan. She couldn't understand why the second wife, who was always bullied by everyone in the past, had changed like this now?

"No matter how unwilling you are, just slowly accept the reality. I, Cen Yan, am making this clear today. If anyone still wants to bully the Second House like before, it will be absolutely impossible!"

After Cen Yan finished speaking, she grabbed Li's hand and said to Cen Dahai, "Dad, Mom, I think we don't need to eat breakfast. It hasn't been cooked yet, so let's just skip it! Let's go back to the house!"

After she said this, Cen Dahai and Li naturally nodded and wanted to go back with her.

Her words made Old Man Cen, Old Lady Cen, and the people from the first and third rooms tremble all over.

Everyone had different expressions.

"Wait a minute." Old Man Cen said.

"Grandpa, is there anything else?" Cen Yan's family stopped, turned around, looked at Old Man Cen, and waited for him to speak.

"Second brother, is this how you educate your wife and children? Do you really want to let a little girl make all the decisions for your second branch? Also, what does it mean to bully your second branch? As the elders, don't your mother and I have the qualifications to order your second branch to do things?" Old Man Cen asked in a serious tone.

His words made Cen Dahai difficult to answer for a moment.

Just as Cen Yan was about to speak, he was interrupted by Old Man Cen with a wave of his hand.

"I think your second branch has indeed become too powerful. The person who is most capable of making trouble in this family is none other than you, Cen Yan." Old Man Cen said this to speak up for Old Lady Cen.

After all, she is my wife of many years.

Even if Old Lady Cen did something wrong, there was no reason for her to let the younger generation repeatedly slap her in the face and lose face.

When Old Lady Cen heard him say this, her eyes immediately moved.

Somewhat unbelievable, yet somewhat happy.

"Cen Yan, I want to ask you right now, what exactly do you want to do by making trouble again and again? Do you really want to rebel and turn the world upside down? Do you believe it or not, if you dare to do anything out of line again, as your grandfather, I have plenty of ways to punish you?!" When Old Man Cen said this, his tone had become extremely cold.

He is threatening Cen Yan.

Indeed, as he said, as Cen Yan's grandfather and the head of the old Cen family, he has plenty of ways to discipline a disobedient granddaughter.

To put it bluntly, women in these mountains are no different from animals.

Even if he sold her and took the case to the government, he, as the grandfather, would be in the right.

Because everyone has filial piety above their head.

As long as he said that Cen Yan was unfilial and had done something shameful that went against filial piety, it would be human nature to kill her, and no one could say that he was wrong.

Cen Yan heard the threatening meaning in this.

A sarcastic sneer immediately appeared on the corner of her mouth.

In the past, this was what she was afraid of.

But now, a person who has died tragically once and has experienced the purgatory of life, what is there to be afraid of?

"Grandpa, you don't dare to do this." When Cen Yan said this, his back was very straight and his face was fearless.

"Oh, why shouldn't I dare?" Old Man Cen asked softly. His face was grim, and his pair of old eyes, like ancient wells, were so deep that people couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"Because you have something to hide." Cen Yan was very sure, "How dare a person with something to hide go to see the official?"

"What did you say?!" Old Man Cen's eyes suddenly widened, and then narrowed dangerously.

"I said, grandpa has a guilty conscience and dares not meet the government officials, but if grandpa doesn't make things difficult for me, then I will pretend to know nothing. Even if grandpa wants to do something behind my back, it will be useless because I have a backup plan. As long as anything happens to me, the ugly things grandpa did will be immediately reported to the government... By then, the entire Cen family will be wiped out!" Cen Yan said in a loud voice.

Old man Cen's heart suddenly exploded!

If he had a knife in his hand now, he suspected that he would have stabbed the knife into Cen Yan's heart without hesitation!

But he still had some sense and was thankful that he didn't have a knife in his hand.

Old Man Cen didn't dare to say another word.

Because the expressions of the others had become extremely shocked.

"...Dad, what did Cen Yan say? What does this mean?" Cen Dajiang's voice was trembling slightly. After all, it was a disaster that would wipe out his entire family. He dared not even think about such a disaster!

"Nothing, uncle, don't think too much. I was just bargaining with grandpa. Otherwise, grandpa would punish our second branch, and I have to find a way to avoid punishment." Cen Yan shook his head, denying everything he had just said, "Grandpa, am I right?"

"Yes... nothing. I have lived an honest and upright life. When have I ever done anything that is against the law? This girl Cen Yan is really too shameless." Old man Cen said, trying to force out a stiff sneer that was uglier than crying.

"Then grandpa, please don't punish our second branch. We can't stand being intimidated. Who knows what nonsense I will say next time?" Cen Yan smiled gently at Old Man Cen.

"The fault this time is not your second branch, and I have nothing to punish you for. The reason I said that just now was just to give you a warning. Always leave a way out for others and don't be too drastic in everything!" Old Man Cen put his hands behind his back, clenched his fists, and said with hidden meaning in his words.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I know this logic. After all, we are a family. Even if we die, we will die together!" Cen Yan smiled sweetly.

After saying this, she took Li's hand and left the main room in the shocked gazes of Li, Cen Dahai and others.

Behind him, someone suddenly whispered after an unknown amount of time had passed: "It's really no good that Cen Yan continues to stay in Old Cen's house!"
