Chapter 253: The Rumor
"Yes, these bandits are so cruel that they even spared no children and pregnant women! By the way, do you know if this family had any enemies in the past?" Upon hearing this, the captain also sighed, and suddenly remembered that Cen Yan was also a member of the old Cen family, so he couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know that."
Cen Yan shook his head. "It is very likely that my grandfather offended someone, because I remember my eldest aunt once said it seemed so, but she didn't say anything specific. In addition, my grandfather was not very close to our second branch, so I don't know what it was. Sir, if you want to investigate, you can go and ask my eldest aunt.
Cen Yan listened to the captain's seemingly casual question and realized with great alert that the other party suspected him.
Because the vendetta was nothing more than a previous feud.
And their second branch was separated before because of discord.
Then the second branch of their family would have a motive to kill the old Cen family.
Then Cen Yan simply diverted the fire and burned it on Cen Fang first.
"Is that so? Then where is your aunt now?" The captain of the police looked thoughtful when he heard this and continued to ask.
"She got married a long time ago." Cen Yan told the captain of the police the address where Cen Fang lived after she got married.
After she finished speaking, she looked at the head of the village again and said, "Grandpa Head, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. My mother and brother are waiting for me at home."
"Then you should go back quickly. Your mother is still in confinement after giving birth, and your brother is still young... This family needs someone to stay with them!" The head of the village also noticed that the captain seemed to be suspicious of Cen Yan, so he said hurriedly.
"Yeah." Cen Yan nodded, turned and left.
When the captain heard what the head of the police said, he naturally had to investigate further.
"…Her father was a real man. When the war broke out in the northern border, other people wanted to pay money but her father insisted on going to the battlefield even though his family could afford it. He said he wanted to serve the country. Her mother had just become pregnant at the time! He left and hasn't come back yet, leaving them an orphan and a widow. Now that this has happened to Old Cen's family, what I fear most is that they will be affected as well!" The head of the village sighed repeatedly.
"So that's how it is." After hearing what he said, the captain nodded with a look of understanding and immediately dispelled his suspicions about Cen Yan's family.
After all, the family is made up of women and children. Without a man to support them, it is impossible for them to do such a thing.
In addition, after listening to the words of the village head, he felt some respect for Cen Yan's father.
He no longer paid attention to Cen Yan's family, but turned to the village head and asked about Cen Fang.
…
…
Cen Yan returned home and told Li about the situation outside, and also mentioned Cen Shuang.
"She, why has she become like this now?" Li was slightly shocked when she heard this. Although Cen Shuang was ridiculous and mean in the past, she was not like this now.
"How can you behave like a human being if you stay in a place like the Wei family?" Cen Yan shook his head and didn't want to talk about Cen Shuang anymore. After all, it was all her own fault. She clearly had ways out time and time again, but she blocked them all by herself!
Who can be blamed for this? !
The mother and daughter started talking about other things and no longer paid attention to Cen Shuang.
The day just passed like this.
In the evening, someone knocked on the gate of the house. Aunt Liu went to open the door and soon said with a happy smile: "Boss, come and see who is back!"
"Who is it?" At this time, Cen Yan was holding her brother and making him laugh. Upon hearing this, she turned around and was immediately surprised, "Aunt!"
"Xiaoyan, sister-in-law, I'm back." Cen Ying was carrying a bag.
Not long after she left Lao Cen's house last year, she was introduced by Ji Yunzhan to work in an embroidery workshop and has been away from the village for a long time.
During this period, whether Cen Dahai entered the military camp or Li gave birth, she never came back. She only asked Ji Yunzhan to bring back a letter every month.
But why he came back at this time is self-evident.
Cen Yan hurriedly and carefully placed the child in her arms next to the bed.
Cen Yingze put down his bag, walked over, held Cen Yan's hand, and started talking to Li.
Not long after, Ji Yunzhan parked the carriage and came in from outside.
"Brother Ji." When Cen Yan saw him come in, she smiled at him.
"How is it? Have you been scared these two days?" Ji Yunzhan sat down on a chair next to the coffee table, poured himself a glass of water, drank it quickly, and then asked with concern.
"There's nothing to be afraid of." Cen Yan shook his head. "Did you come back after receiving the news?"
"Yes, as the saying goes, bad news spreads far and wide. This murder case of an entire family is now spreading like wildfire in the county..." Ji Yunzhan recounted the situation outside.
"I heard the news, so I found Yun Zhan and came back impatiently. I finally feel relieved." At this time, Cen Ying suddenly said.
She originally had a hint of sneer on her lips.
However, after saying this, tears suddenly flowed out.
Seeing this, Cen Yan sighed and took a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"I'm fine." Cen Ying took the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and then said, "For so many years, what I have always hoped for in my heart is to get revenge, to avenge my own child. Now I have finally gotten my revenge."
"Aunt, don't feel too sad..." Cen Yan didn't know how to comfort her.
Speaking of revenge, they are my biological parents after all, how could I really be that cruel?
She thought about it and told him what the captain of the police had questioned her about today.
Upon hearing this, Cen Ying said with certainty: "Cen Fang must know what bad things Old Man Cen did in the past! And I have always suspected that this matter is related to your father!"
"Is it related to my father?" Cen Yan's eyes flickered when he heard this.
She had guessed before.
But that was guessed from the jade bracelet that Cen Han gave to Gao, and the bag of jewelry that Yu Banxian got from Old Man Cen later...
That’s right!
Yu Banxian!
Could it be that the massacre of the Old Cen family happened earlier in this life because of the variable Yu Banxian?
After all, Yu Banxian didn’t get that package in his previous life!
Thinking about it this way, it seems that this question has an answer.
But what Cen Yan didn't understand was that based on the jade bracelet, he had inferred that those were General Cheng's things and were related to the General's Mansion...
This should have nothing to do with her father, right?
"It should be related to your father's true origin, but I don't know what it is specifically. However, no matter what the secret is, I think it will be solved one day. The government will definitely find Cen Fang now. If she wants to avenge the old Cen family, she will definitely tell everything..." Cen Ying said.
