Chapter 129 Old Man Cen is an accomplice
Now that everything was talked out, Cen Yan had a certain understanding of this past event.
But she soon discovered that something seemed wrong with her father's expression.
"Dad, what's wrong?" she couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay." Cen Dahai answered subconsciously and then sighed.
"Dad, have you forgotten what I said last time?" Seeing him like this, Cen Yan couldn't help but lower his voice slightly, sounding a little serious.
"Last time?" Cen Dahai was a little confused by her reaction. When he looked up, he saw that her face was also very unhappy. After thinking about it carefully, he understood what she was talking about.
——No matter what happens in the future, tell your family in time.
"Alas." He sighed again, and said in a heavy tone, "It's my fault for your aunt."
"How could it be your fault? You were not the one who informed her, nor did you force her to drink the abortion drug. And you certainly didn't frame Young Master Cui." Cen Yan thought that his self-blame was totally unnecessary.
"No." Cen Dahai shook his head solemnly, "In fact, your aunt asked me for help back then. She seemed to realize that something was wrong and asked me to take her and Young Master Cui away and help them elope... But, but how could I feel comfortable handing my own sister over to a 'blind man'? I refused her and told her to tell her family if she had any problems. My parents would not ignore her."
At the end of his speech, Cen Dahai's voice became lower.
There is no need to say more about the subsequent changes.
His self-blame was not without reason.
Cen Yan had just been trying to persuade him, but now he suddenly couldn't say anything to persuade him.
My father’s biggest mistake was that he actually believed in the character of Old Man Cen and Old Lady Cen, and believed that the people in the Cen family really had family affection.
"Dad, this matter may not be as simple as you said." But Cen Yan still had to tell the truth, "Young Master Cui lost his life just like that. Even those who knew him in the village knew that he would never do such a thing as poisoning an old servant. Moreover, as mother just said, how could a blind man like him poison others? How could a blind man like him escape to the mountains alone?
“The Cui family must be behind this.
“Only those in the Cui family who want Young Master Cui to die would do this. They have motives and reasons.
"As for grandpa, he initially encouraged my aunt to get close to Young Master Cui, but then his attitude suddenly changed. I'm afraid he already knew that the Cui family would take action.
“So, grandpa might even be an accomplice in this matter.
"It's hard to say whether you are being unfair to my aunt, because you did this only for her lifelong happiness, but you are also wrong in some ways."
Cen Yan spoke one sentence at a time, her expression solemn, "You thought you were doing good for her, but it wasn't based on what she really wanted. You don't know enough about what kind of person my aunt is, and you don't understand the relationship between her and Young Master Cui, but you self-righteously blocked her only possible way out.
“But everyone can make such mistakes.
"So, you may have done something wrong, but you don't have to blame yourself too much for it. Over the past few years, at least you have a clear conscience towards my aunt in other matters. That's enough. As for what will happen in the future, it can't just depend on yourself, but also on what my aunt wants to do."
Now that she knew the whole truth, looking back, Cen Yan felt that Cen Ying had been deliberately mistreating the second wife and treating her father like a vampire over the years. It was very likely that she was taking revenge on her father for not helping her elope.
After all, at that time, Cen Ying took the initiative to find her father, which meant that her father was the person she trusted the most at that time.
But her father's behavior disappointed her.
Then, the tragedy broke out.
But Cen Yan always felt that the biggest mistake and the main guilt did not lie with his father, so why did Cen Ying vent all his resentment on his father?
Is it because the second wife is the easiest to deal with?
"I understand. Don't worry, I can get over it." After hearing what his daughter said, Cen Dahai felt somewhat enlightened, although he did not let go of the past immediately.
"That's good. After all, this matter has passed. Whether my aunt wants revenge or not, it has nothing to do with our second branch. After all, we may have to separate soon." Cen Yan said.
"But it seems that your grandparents have no intention of dividing the family business now." Li said worriedly.
"That's just not the case now." Cen Yan smiled and said nothing.
A series of recent events have caused the current Cen family to be very different from the past.
First of all, the second branch will no longer allow them to be bullied. Even if Old Lady Cen wants to control the second branch again, she has to think carefully.
Secondly, there are rifts between the first and third wives of the Cen family, as well as the younger and older aunts, and Old Mrs. Cen and Old Mr. Cen. They are no longer united as one like in the past, and they are no longer specifically working together to deal with the second wife.
Now, the first and third wives disliked each other because of the half lost pickled chicken and a series of events that happened afterwards. The favoritism shown by Old Lady Cen and Old Man Cen, as well as Cen Shuang being grounded for a month, have led to the conflict between the two wives to a point where it cannot be reconciled. The third wife is absolutely disappointed with Old Lady Cen and Old Man Cen.
Secondly, Cen Fang returned to her parents' home twice, and the situation changed drastically.
Every time she came back, she could get whatever she wanted. The first and third wives must have been displeased with her for a long time, but because of Old Man Cen and Old Lady Cen, they dared not express any dissatisfaction.
But these two times, after Cen Fang completely offended Gao and the first wife, she also angered old man Cen and was driven out of the old Cen family overnight. These things can clearly show that the relationship between Cen Fang and the old Cen family will be like this in the future, like a hanging silk thread that can be easily broken by the wind.
Furthermore, it was my aunt's past that meant that she was destined to never be truly loyal to the Cen family.
Although Cen Yan was not clear about her real plan, he could at least see that the old Cen family was now showing signs of being torn apart.
The last thing Cen Yan wanted to do was to let Old Man Cen and Old Lady Cen see everything clearly.
At that time, it will be the best time to split up!
…
…
After Cen Fang left, the Cen family seemed relieved for a few days.
This time she left in such a miserable way that the first wife breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone, including those in the third wife, felt that if Cen Fang had any self-awareness, she would not come back in the short term, so it would be best if she did not come back except during the Chinese New Year.
Just thinking about it this way makes life seem a lot easier.
However, Cen Yan really missed the two times that Cen Fang came back, so he made a lot of noise twice.
I wonder how much more commotion Old Man Cen and Old Lady Cen can endure?
