Chapter 22 Reborn!
Finally, the meal was over, and Li from the second wife got up first to clean up the dishes as usual.
"Second brother, don't rush to clean up, I have something to say." At this time, Old Lady Cen wiped her mouth, and there was no expression on her wrinkled face, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li stopped what she was doing, sat back down, and looked at her mother-in-law nervously.
Cen Yan also had a blank expression on his face, and his fingers even tapped the table lightly and leisurely, controlling the strength so that not a single sound was made.
What kind of thing is worth such a big fuss? Just by looking at this, she knew that the result would definitely not be a "good result."
Cen Dahai had obviously thought of this as well. His thick eyebrows were knitted tightly together, and his expression was full of worry, deep helplessness, and a hint of imperceptible disappointment.
As for the first and third wives, they all stretched their necks and moved their eyes back and forth between Old Lady Cen and Cen Yan, as if they were just bored and had nothing to do, so they just wanted to watch the fun.
Cen Yan had long been accustomed to their behavior.
"I'm sure everyone knows what happened at home a few days ago. It's related to the reputation of the Cen family. I, the old lady, must make a decision today." Old Mrs. Cen finally spoke, and her words carried a bit of Old Man Cen's style, setting the tone first.
That is a major matter concerning the reputation of the Cen family!
That is definitely not a trivial matter!
Anyone who dares not to listen will ruin the reputation of the Cen family!
The Cen family cares most about reputation!
"Grandma, please tell me." Cen Yan's lips curled up quickly, his heart full of teasing.
"You must go to the Forbidden Forest today to prove your innocence. This is what you asked for before!" Old Mrs. Cen glared at her coldly. The killing power seemed to have poked holes all over her granddaughter.
"Well, I have no objection to this. What about Third Aunt? It's impossible that this self-proving of innocence is only directed at myself, right?" Cen Yan continued indifferently.
"Of course! Isn't there a market today? The third family will go to the market to buy fruit! No matter whether you bought it or got it from somewhere else, as long as you can bring the fruit back today, whoever brings it back will be innocent. Whoever can't bring it back... then wait for the family law to punish you!" After saying this, Old Lady Cen slammed the table heavily, with a lot of momentum.
Cen Yan stared at her hands that were trembling slightly due to excessive force, suppressed his laughter, and immediately stood up: "Then grandma, I will leave for the forbidden forest now."
"Go early, come back early." Old Lady Cen said these four words with deep meaning. She looked at her, then at Mrs. Yu, "You should hurry up and pack up too!"
"Yes, mother." Yu also stood up and went back to her room.
No one seemed surprised by this arrangement.
The eldest wife has nothing to do with the matter.
The third wife, Mrs. Yu, has already thought of a countermeasure.
When the time comes, she can just buy some other fruits and bribe Cen Ying.
Finally, it was said that Gao had also seen what the fruit looked like and wanted to ruin her plan... She bribed Cen Ying and had Cen Ying speaking for her, so why was she afraid that Old Lady Cen would not stand on her side?
She packed up and took Cen Ying to the market.
On the other side, in the second room, Cen Dahai remained silent with an ugly expression on his face since he entered his house.
Li was also worried. She held Cen Yan's hand, wanting to tell her not to go, but she also knew that her daughter was determined.
"Mom, don't worry, I will be fine, and I will definitely prove my innocence." In response, Cen Yan patted Li's hand and comforted her.
But she wasn't going to say anything about Cen Dahai.
He should have guessed that this would be the outcome today.
When Cen Dahai heard her words, his expression froze, but in the end he did not do anything. He let Cen Yan carry the backpack, pick up the sickle he usually used for cutting grass, and leave the house.
But Cen Yan could never have imagined...
As soon as she goes out, she will encounter a huge "surprise" waiting for her.
This "surprise" frightened her so much that her soul seemed to leave her body all of a sudden, taking her back to the day before her death, when her son was strangled to death and she herself was beaten to the point of miscarriage, leaving two lives. The feeling of despair as her body gradually grew cold and her vision went completely dark once again deeply entangled her, making her vaguely think that she was reliving this "nightmare of yesterday" again...
And in front of her, the "surprise" himself, Wei Zan, was looking at her affectionately with a gentle smile on his face.
"What are you doing here?" Cen Yan's voice sounded uncontrollably sharp. Her soul gradually returned to her body, and her body warmed up from the cold state.
"I was worried about you, so I came to see you." Wei Zan spoke softly, as if afraid of scaring her, and took a step forward.
"Don't come over!" Cen Yan suddenly took a step back, his eyes widened in fear.
"Xiaoyan, what's wrong with you?" Wei Zan was confused at first when his fiancée looked at him with fear instead of shy as usual. But he soon understood, "I know, it must be because of the recent rumors, right?"
"What rumor?" Cen Yan asked in a cold voice with a pale face, like a frightened bird.
"Because you've been disfigured, many people say that I was attracted to you because of your looks when I got engaged to you. I'm worried that now that your looks are ruined, I'll definitely abandon you and break off the engagement with you... That's what you're worried about, right?" Wei Zan wanted to go up to her and touch her face again, but seeing how scared she was, he chose not to go up to her considerately. Instead, he said in a firm tone, "But don't worry, I won't do that. What I've always been attracted to is you as a person, not your looks. Cen Yan, I will definitely marry you!"
When Cen Yan listened to his words, the fear that was deeply engraved in her mind in her previous life strangely dissipated bit by bit.
Sanity keeps returning.
Finally, her face regained its color and she thought of her wish after her rebirth. One of her wishes was to avenge her two dead children...
The strength she once had as a mother made her straighten her back in an instant!
What are you afraid of?!
In front of her was the scumbag whom she would definitely take revenge on in this life. If she was afraid, how could she avenge her child? !
Once she overcame these fears, what Wei Zan said immediately made her feel nauseous.
It is indeed so.
Isn't it her as a person that he is attracted to?
But in his eyes, she was not a human being at all, but a beast that could serve his old Cen family like a slave!
When he thought of this, Cen Yan's gaze towards Wei Zan suddenly became sharp.
Wei Zan watched the various changes in Cen Yan's facial expression in a short period of time, and suddenly he had a strange feeling that the person in front of him had been reborn in an instant.
