Chapter 128: Can't bear to see the old Cen family live in peace
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with this marriage."
Li analyzed seriously, "Our Cen family is not a wealthy family. Although Young Master Cui is the son of a wealthy family, he is now in poverty. He has lived in the village for seven or eight years, and his family has no intention of taking him away. It seems that he can't go back.
"Besides, why would a wealthy family want a sickly and blind heir?
"If you put it that way, then they can actually be considered a 'well-matched couple', but unfortunately, your aunt doesn't like Young Master Cui.
"Since she discovered that your aunt and Mr. Cui were too close and intimate, and that their relationship was far from being an ordinary neighbor, she told your grandfather and grandmother about their affairs. Your grandmother, like your eldest aunt, was strongly opposed. Your grandmother's thoughts at the time were actually very simple, that is, she couldn't let her daughter live with a 'blind man' for the rest of her life, but your grandfather's attitude at the time was very unclear.
"He didn't object, and even vaguely encouraged your aunt and Mr. Cui to get closer. It wouldn't hurt."
Having said this, Li couldn't help but pause slightly.
Because she still can't figure out why Old Man Cen had that attitude at that time.
At this time, she had just been married for a short time and did not know the personalities of the people in the Cen family. She just felt that Mrs. Cen was devoted to Cen Yingcai, but Old Man Cen did not seem to really care about his daughter.
After all, even if it were her, she would never be willing to let her own daughter find a blind man and entrust her life to him.
"Grandpa, is it because of the family background of that young Master Cui?" Cen Yan seemed to be thinking of the same question as Li, and she couldn't help but say.
"Well... you're right, that's right." Li seemed to be enlightened by her words, "No wonder things turned out like that later!"
"So what happened later?" Cen Yan asked.
"Later, with your grandfather's vague permission, your aunt had already regarded Young Master Cui as the man she would entrust her life to. Three years later, something unexpected happened. A few outsiders from the village came to our house and said something secret to your grandfather. I don't know what they said, but as soon as these people left, your grandfather's attitude changed drastically and he asked your aunt to break up with Young Master Cui immediately."
Li recalled the situation at that time, "Your sister-in-law has long been deeply in love with him, so she naturally disagrees.
"It just so happened that your eldest aunt came back and persuaded your youngest aunt with kind words, saying that marrying a blind man would not bring her any future, and that the Cui family behind this young Master Cui had no intention of recognizing him as their own. Once the two old servants around him died, he would be left alone, and would not be happy at all if he married into the family."
"From this point of view, what the eldest aunt said is not wrong. Marrying a man is not just marrying him as a person, but also marrying the family behind him. As the relative of the younger aunt, the eldest aunt is also considering the younger aunt when she persuades her like this, but the younger aunt must not agree, right?" Cen Yan said.
"Yes." Li nodded, "But your younger aunt probably also took these into consideration and thought your elder aunt was doing this for her own good, so she told your elder aunt about her secret pregnancy.
"Your eldest aunt comforted your youngest aunt in person and told her to keep the secret, but she turned around and told your grandfather about it. Naturally, your grandfather couldn't stand that his daughter would do such a shameful thing, so he got angry at your youngest aunt and told her that he would never let her be with Young Master Cui.
“What happened afterwards actually happened very suddenly and secretly.
"I don't know the details, but I only know that your eldest aunt coaxed your youngest aunt into drinking a bowl of abortion pills, and the child was gone. Two old servants of Master Cui next door died overnight, and Master Cui disappeared. He was later found dead in the mountains, his body torn beyond recognition by wild beasts.
"The officials came to investigate and said that Master Cui poisoned two old servants and killed them. He fled for fear of being punished, but he met a wild beast in the mountains and died. It was a case of evil deeds being punished.
"When the news reached home, your aunt fainted on the spot."
That's all there is to it.
The person that Cen Ying liked when he was young ended up in a miserable state, had a ruined reputation, and did not have a good end.
She didn't save her child, nor did she see her loved one for the last time, and was even stabbed in the back by her most trusted family member.
So, this is a tragic thing.
"Grandpa is not unable to tolerate his granddaughter getting pregnant secretly with someone else, but because the other party cannot give him the fame and fortune he expects. If the Cui family behind young Master Cui is willing to take young Master Cui back, then I'm afraid grandpa will have a completely different attitude towards the same thing." Cen Yan said sarcastically.
She even thought that Cen Ying should be aware of this.
It seemed that after knowing this incident, Cen Ying's actions in the next three years could be traced.
Her personality changed drastically, and she deliberately allowed her conduct to become increasingly corrupt in order to ruin her reputation. As a result, she succeeded in getting married to someone who no one dared to propose to her until she was eighteen.
After all, according to Old Man Cen's status as an old scholar, his family is considered well-off in this mountain...
If Cen Ying was a little less extreme, she would definitely be able to get married.
"Could it be that my aunt still can't forget that young Master Cui?" Cen Yan couldn't help but guess.
"It's hard to say. Although the government said so at the beginning, everyone in the village who has had contact with Master Cui thinks that he would never do such a thing, because he is such a good person! Besides, poisoning? You let a 'blind man' poison people? This is a joke!"
Li shook her head with a sigh, "Anyway, your eldest aunt's actions really broke your youngest aunt's heart. No matter who it is, the one who is most likely to hurt her is always her most defenseless and most trusted relative. Your eldest aunt caused your youngest aunt to lose her child, which is equivalent to killing her own nephew. But even so, she doesn't think she did anything wrong, and she doesn't feel any guilt at all. On the contrary, last night, three years later, she had the nerve to use this heart-wrenching matter to threaten your youngest aunt...
Therefore, Cen Fang is really a worthless person!
Li silently added this abusive remark.
After all, we can no longer say such inappropriate things in front of children.
After listening to this, Cen Yan fell into silence again.
This incident changed her opinion of Cen Ying drastically.
It seemed that since the last time, she suddenly discovered that Cen Ying's position was a bit strange. It seemed that he was not favoring the first or third house, but he just couldn't bear to see the old Cen family live in peace.
From this point of view, perhaps she hated the old Cen family and Cen Fang because of Young Master Cui.
However, it is also true that Cen Ying has been oppressing their second branch for many years.
Even if he changed his opinion of her and felt sympathy for her, it would not change the hostile relationship between them.
At least, that was the case before Cen Ying revealed his cards.
