Chapter 112 The Second House Cannot Be Stigmatized
Cen Yan only thought about it for a moment and understood what he was referring to.
The origin of the bracelet is unclear.
If it really came from the hands of some noble person and later fell into Cen Han's hands, what if it was Cen Han who stole it?
As long as this matter is exposed, Cen Han's reputation will be tarnished and his path to imperial examinations will be blocked.
Once the news spreads in the village, not only will old man Cen, who is very proud, be embarrassed, but he will also vent his anger on Cen Han because his expectations for many years have not been fulfilled, and then on the first wife.
This naturally suppressed the first wife.
"Not appropriate." But after a brief thought, Cen Yan shook his head.
"Are you worried that the Cen family will still favor the eldest branch? And will blame you instead? But in this case, in order to protect the eldest branch, they will definitely kick you out of the house..." Ji Yunzhan felt that he could take advantage of the situation and use this bracelet to show that the second branch had achieved its goal of splitting up the family.
"Of course I understand what you mean, but I'm making frequent moves now, which seems to be suppressing the first wife, but in fact I just want to make the old Cen family restless. Moreover, if the first wife is really defeated, it will not do me any good. Although Cen Han is hateful, his future has nothing to do with me. I can also tell you frankly that based on his ability and character, he will never achieve anything great in the future."
Cen Yan explained to him, "If we beat the eldest wife to death with one blow, the eldest wife will behave herself, and the old Cen family will not be able to cause trouble. If they can't cause trouble, it will be difficult to divide this family.
"Moreover, I don't want any possible stigma to be placed on my hands or on the Second House's side."
She didn't make this statement particularly clear.
Because he was concerned about Ji Yunzhan. After all, he had good intentions when he proposed this idea.
She didn't want to embarrass him, as if he had really come up with a bad idea.
Ji Yunzhan could naturally immediately understand her sense of purpose.
He is not a stupid man. He can figure out the interests involved with just a little thought.
“I understand.” At this time, Ji Yunzhan said apologetically, “I didn’t think it through. If I really use this trick, the people from the first house will definitely fight with your second house. In the process, your second house’s reputation will also be damaged, because even if the bracelet was really obtained by Cen Han through improper means, it is now in the hands of your second house after all…”
Once the dispute starts, if the first wife insists that the bracelet was stolen by the second wife, even if the second wife proves her innocence, there will still be unstoppable rumors spreading from people's mouths.
These people don't care about the truth.
They only care about whether the excitement is fun or not.
By then, the reputation of the second house will inevitably be damaged.
The reason why Cen Yan wanted to split the family was obviously not because the second branch had a bad reputation and was driven out by the old Cen family, but because the old Cen family was afraid of the second branch and dared not let it stay in the old Cen family any longer, so they sent it away like "sending away a god".
After thinking all this through, Ji Yunzhan suddenly felt even more respect for Cen Yan.
If the history books he had read in the past showed many heroes who would do anything to achieve their goals, then Cen Yan's approach was very restrained.
Because she wanted to split the family, not only for herself, but also for her family.
"Cen Yan, you are really good to your family." Ji Yunzhan felt some warmth inexplicably in his heart.
If I could become a family with her, it would definitely be a very happy thing.
When Cen Yan heard this, he burst out laughing.
Her behavior made Ji Yunzhan a little confused.
Did he say something wrong?
"Ji Yunzhan, am I not good to you?" Cen Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and said this deliberately, as if her kindness had been betrayed, but her smart eyes were filled with cunning.
"Okay, of course." Ji Yunzhan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this.
"Then why do you say such things with an envious tone? It seems that you really want to become a family with me?" Cen Yan said with a smile.
However, as soon as she said this, they were both stunned again.
This...
What does it mean to want to be a family?
They are a man and a woman, so they can only become a family if they get married, right?
Cen Yan soon felt ashamed and embarrassed for what she had said without thinking.
"Ji, Ji Yunzhan! I, I didn't mean that!" She explained quickly, but seemed a little incoherent.
"You don't mean anything? Don't you want to be a family with me?" Ji Yunzhan was obviously very embarrassed, but he couldn't help teasing her deliberately.
"I, that's not what I meant!" Cen Yan had to quickly explain again.
"So you want to be a family with me?" Ji Yunzhan continued to tease her, laughing so hard that his chest was shaking.
"Oh! I can't explain it to you clearly! I'll go see if the medicine you boiled is ready!" Cen Yan found it increasingly difficult to explain, so he simply stomped his feet, turned around and ran into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the medicine jars on the stove were boiling hot.
Cen Yan's little face was also burning hot.
There was some emotion in her eyes, and her mind was in a state of confusion and delusion for a while. Then she shook her head, pressed her hands tightly against her cheeks to cool down her temperature, and then focused all her attention on the medicine jar.
After she left, Ji Yunzhan laughed alone for a while, playing with the jade bracelet in his hand. Suddenly, he inadvertently discovered a line of small words engraved inside the bracelet.
But the handwriting was too small for him to recognize with his naked eyes.
Ji Yunzhan recalled that his friend who worked in the jade business had a mirror that could magnify very small objects.
As long as we use that mirror, wouldn't we be able to find out what the line of small words above says?
Perhaps once we know this, the question of who the original owner of the bracelet is will be solved.
After Cen Yan brought the boiled and cooled medicine to Ji Yunzhan, Ji Yunzhan told him about his discovery after he drank it.
"I will go to the county town tomorrow..."
"Not tomorrow."
However, before Ji Yunzhan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Cen Yan, "Your injuries haven't healed yet. What if the wounds open again after such a long journey? It will take at least five days before you can leave."
Her tone was firm.
The serious look with a slightly furrowed brows made him look like he was treating his own family, caring yet strict.
For some reason, Ji Yunzhan suddenly felt that they were like a family.
Getting along so easily with each other and always thinking about each other, aren't they just like a family?
"Okay, you said in five days, so I will go to the county town in five days. By then I will know how your last batch of naiguo sells in the restaurant!" Ji Yunzhan compromised immediately, with a kind of pampering and indulgence in his words that he was not aware of.
