Chapter 120 Attracting Thieves
When Cen Yan saw this, she knew that she couldn't drive her aunt and uncle away this time.
She pursed her lips and said nothing more.
It was just an attempt.
Even if my eldest aunt and her husband didn't leave, everyone from my youngest aunt to the first and third wives had already become dissatisfied and wary of my eldest aunt's family.
It will be difficult for my aunt to cause any more trouble at home.
At least this time, it wouldn't be like before, where everyone would agree with whatever she said or did.
Of course, except for Cen Shuang.
At this time, Cen Shuang was still looking at her aunt Cen Fang with envy and admiration.
She felt that her aunt's behavior was the correct thing for a married woman to do.
My grandfather used to say that once you marry, you should obey your husband.
Since you are a subordinate to your husband, you should naturally put him first in everything.
So the eldest aunt was right to blindly protect her uncle.
When she meets Wei Zan in the future, she must also work hard to protect Wei Zan like her aunt did today.
As for the others, such as Cen Ying, Gao, and Yu, when they saw that things had come to this, Old Lady Cen still blindly defended Cen Fang. Even though she was unhappy in her heart, she knew it was a futile move.
However, the three of them exchanged glances with each other.
In order to support Zhao Wuyan's studies, Cen Fang went home so frequently, which definitely cost money.
This time, no matter what, they couldn't ask Cen Fang to take a penny from home.
Even though they are not in charge of the household, if they work together, even if Old Lady Cen wants to favor Cen Fang, she won't be able to insist on giving the money to her!
With this plan, everyone will pretend that nothing happened.
Cen Ying started teasing Zhao Jing and Zhao Rang again.
Gao and Yu started talking about other topics as if they had never been enemies in their lives.
Li from the second wife held Cen Yang in her arms and continued to pretend to be an invisible person, with no sense of existence.
The awkward, tit-for-tat atmosphere in the room just now disappeared in an instant.
After a while, they calculated that it was about time, so Li and Cen Yan went to cook.
Cen Yangze also went to help them light the fire.
Just as dinner was ready, the three brothers Cen Dahai came back from the fields. When they saw Cen Fang coming back, they simply greeted her and no one said much. After all, they had worked for half a day and were tired as dogs. They didn't want to say a word and just wanted to eat quickly.
At this point, it was natural for Cen Fang and his family to stay again.
Everyone in the Cen family has become accustomed to this.
Nothing unpleasant happened during dinner.
As if she knew that she was not very popular, Cen Fang did not dare to cause trouble to anyone again. Even though Gao did not follow the rules she had said last time and serve Old Lady Cen meals, she just pretended that she saw nothing.
The family finished the meal in peace and quiet.
At night, after lying down, Cen Yan still entered the space to study art.
But this time, she didn't know how long it had been, but when she was reading a medical book, she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
It was the sound of a very slight door being pushed open.
Thinking that it was Li who came to his room to check whether he had slept well, Cen Yan quickly put the book on the table, came out of the space, lay down in the quilt, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
But soon, she realized something was wrong.
This person is not Li.
First of all, the sound of the footsteps was wrong. It was not the sound of Li's usual walking at all. Instead, he walked very tiptoe, as if he was afraid of being discovered.
Li would occasionally go into her room to see if she had covered herself with the quilt.
But she always walked lightly and naturally, unlike now, as if she was afraid of being discovered...
Just as she was wondering, the footsteps suddenly came to her bedside.
Then, Cen Yan felt a hand suddenly reach under her pillow and grope around twice.
Now, she was even more certain that this was not Li, but a thief!
Is there a thief at home?
Cen Yan couldn't care less and immediately opened his eyes. Based on his intuition, he grabbed the man's hand which had not yet retracted. He was stunned for a moment.
This is a very obvious woman's arm!
The other party seemed stunned when Cen Yan suddenly grabbed his arm.
But then she began to struggle frantically.
"Someone come! There's a thief stealing things!" Cen Yan shouted loudly.
As soon as she shouted, there was immediate movement in every room of the house.
When the thief heard that she dared to shout, he immediately opened Cen Yan's eyes and ran out.
As soon as she ran out of Cen Yan's room, she was caught by Cen Dahai who came out quickly after hearing Cen Yan's cry.
"Who is it!" When Cen Dahai saw the figure, he first shouted, then was stunned.
Because this figure is so familiar.
Even if the room is a little dark, even if the other person seems to have covered his face...
While he was stunned, the thief had already rushed out of the door.
Cen Dahai took two steps and did not continue chasing.
"Dad, did you see who it is?" At this time, Cen Yan had already put on his clothes and walked out of the house.
"I didn't..." Cen Dahai didn't want to say it, but he suddenly remembered the last time his daughter complained that he always kept things in his heart and didn't treat her as a family member. He swallowed the words that were about to come out and said, "I didn't see it clearly, but judging from the figure, it looks a bit like your aunt."
"Aunt? Is it really her?" Cen Yan had doubted a little when he just held her arm. Now, after hearing this, he said with certainty, "Then it can't be wrong. The eldest aunt came back this time just to steal the jade bracelet from last time. Dad, that bracelet is not cheap, but it also has a great origin! We must not let the eldest aunt get it, otherwise, our family may be wiped out!"
When she said this, she suddenly frowned.
It was just a casual remark.
But she suddenly remembered that in her previous life, the Cen family had indeed experienced a disaster that wiped out the entire family.
The whole family was killed by "bandits".
But it was obvious that they could not be bandits, but rather that the Cen family had made some powerful enemy.
Now, it seems that the mystery that has puzzled her for a long time in her previous life has been answered.
Maybe it’s because of this jade bracelet!
If in the previous life, this jade bracelet was also worn on Gao's hand, and was seen by General Cheng's family, leading to some misunderstanding... then it would be easy to kill a mere mountain villager.
"Xiaoyan, what's going on?" At this moment, Cen Dahai became nervous when he heard her talking about the disaster of annihilation of the whole family.
Is the origin of this bracelet really that scary?
At this time, people from all the rooms outside had already opened their doors and were talking noisily.
"Dad, I will explain this to you later. I'll go out and tell them about the situation first." Cen Yan said and walked out of the house.
"What's going on? Who shouted 'thief coming'? Where is the thief?" In the yard, everyone was standing there with their clothes on, looking tired and dissatisfied.
