Chapter 114 Did she really think she wouldn't dare to eliminate the root of the problem?
There was a pit in front of the guesthouse, filled with cold, murky water. I didn't know if it was rain from the sky or seawater that had flooded in during a downpour; it was both fishy and salty.
Yu's sister-in-law was forced by Cen Yan to wash her mouth in the puddles. Caught off guard, she inhaled a mouthful through her nose and nearly choked to death.
“Cen Yan, you—” Aunt Yu flailed her arms wildly, like a drowning person.
Seeing Yu's fate, the military wives nearby instinctively took a step forward, then withdrew their steps.
I have no sympathy for Sister-in-law Yu.
That ingrate even called them nosy old hags; they're heartless and deserve to be beaten to death by Cen Yan.
In the end, Aunt Tang couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to pull Cen Yan off of Sister Yu's back.
“Cen Yan, that’s enough. If you really kill someone, you and Commander Qi will be the ones who suffer.”
Cen Yan then "cried," her face indistinguishable between rainwater and tears.
“Aunt Tang, I feel wronged! I was scolded by Sister Yu to her face, and I had no choice but to argue with such a scoundrel. My Jingchuan is upright and honest, and has never abused his power as the regimental commander for personal gain. But how come Sister Yu says bad things about my Jingchuan?”
"It takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them. Ladies, you can all empathize with me, right?"
Cen Yan looked at everyone expectantly.
They were all military wives, and they were afraid that some ignorant fools outside might tarnish the reputation of their husbands. Now that Cen Yan had asked them to put themselves in her shoes, they suddenly hated Sister Yu.
If their husbands were to be slandered like this by Sister Yu, they might not only beat her up, but even kill her.
Yu's sister-in-law's cheeks and mouth were bleeding profusely from Cen Yan's beating.
She got up from the ground, still soaking wet, and saw Cen Yan crying uncontrollably in Aunt Tang's arms. She immediately started crying herself, feeling wronged.
"Are you all blind?! It was Cen Yan! That little bitch attacked me deadly! She pinched my chest! She pinched it until it bled!!"
"Sister-in-law Yu, are you still making false accusations? You say I pinched you fiercely? Then take off your clothes and let everyone see!" Cen Yan rolled up her sleeves and lunged forward, ready to continue fighting Sister-in-law Yu to the death.
Seeing this, Sister Yu dared not cry anymore, and ran away as fast as she could, leaving Cen Yan with a harsh remark.
"Cen Yan, you just wait! One day I'll tear off your hypocritical mask."
Waiting? You, Niu Xiaofen, probably won't have that chance!
Cen Yan coldly watched the direction Yu's sister-in-law left in. She had repeatedly picked fights with her. Did she really think Yu wouldn't dare to eliminate her completely?
However, how could Sister Yu know that Reporter Chen had come to see her? Even Mi Shan had been sent away at the time.
"Cen Yan, are you alright?" After Aunt Yu left, the other women gathered around, all concerned.
"It's okay, my clothes were soaked. When Aunt Yu tried to scratch me, I grabbed her hand."
Cen Yan waved her hand, appearing as obedient as a pitiful rabbit in the eyes of the military wives.
Aunt Tang spat, "That Sister Yu is a real scoundrel. It's a good thing you weren't hurt, otherwise when Commander Qi comes back, he'll definitely make her pay!"
"Aunt Tang, ladies, although I suffered a little grievance, please don't tell Qi Jingchuan about what happened today. I don't want him to worry about such a small thing. But... sigh! Never mind, I won't say anything more."
Cen Yan opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but then stopped, sighing incessantly.
When Aunt Tang and her sisters-in-law saw her look at them and then shake her head helplessly, their hearts jumped into their throats.
"Sister-in-law Cen, just say what you have to say. There are no outsiders here. But what is it?"
Aunt Tang and her sisters-in-law felt that Cen Yan's sigh was directed at them.
