Chapter 260 Why do you ask so many questions?
When Cen Yan used spiritual spring water to clean the arrow wound scar on Shisan Madam's shoulder, Shisan Madam stared at the scarred skin on her face without blinking.
Feeling her gaze, Cen Yan moved his eyes over and smiled at her.
Lady Thirteen would then look away somewhat embarrassedly, but would soon look away again.
When she was about to apply the ointment, Lady Thirteen couldn't help herself and asked, "How did you get that scar on your face?"
"My grandma accidentally scratched herself once." Cen Yan replied.
"Accidentally? Even if it was accidental, it couldn't have happened in a place like that on the face, right? What's going on?" Lady Thirteen didn't believe that the matter was that simple. She had a feeling that there must be some gossip involved.
Upon hearing this, Cen Yan looked at her.
Seeing her eyes full of curiosity, he felt a little helpless: "You are just a kid, why are you asking so many questions? It's just that I didn't get along with her and had some disputes. Besides, she is gone now, so there is no point in talking about these things."
"You are not a child yet! From what I see, you are only one year older than me at most!" When Lady Thirteen heard her being scolded in the tone of an elder, her eyes widened in surprise, thinking that she was really too old.
Cen Yan choked suddenly.
She forgot for a moment that she was only sixteen years old.
"Hey, please tell me about you and your grandmother." Lady Thirteen kept asking her questions, shaking her non-stop and coming close to her in a flattering manner, looking at her pitifully.
Cen Yan didn't know why, but she was easily soft-hearted towards her.
At this moment, he really couldn't stand her pestering any more, so he told her everything that happened between him and the old Cen family in the past.
Lady Thirteen was extremely angry as she listened to the whole thing.
It was not until he heard Cen Yan's secret plan step by step to take his parents and younger brother away from the old Cen family that he applauded.
When he heard Cen Yan say that her father had joined the army to serve the country, he rolled his eyes and pulled her aside and whispered, "Do you want your father to come back soon?"
"To be honest, I don't even know if my father is still alive." Cen Yan sighed. This was the first time she showed such worry to others. When she was at home, she couldn't say this to Li, for fear that she would have wild thoughts. But she couldn't help it in front of Madam Thirteen.
"Isn't this easy? I'll ask my brother to go to the military and check for you and you'll know! People like your father who serve in the army are registered in the military, and they will be counted after every war. If your family has not received any obituary from the military so far, it means that your father is still alive and well. You don't have to worry. If you don't want your father to continue fighting and want him to come back earlier, my brother can help you do that." Lady Thirteen said nonchalantly.
As she said this, Cen Yan was secretly shocked.
I'm afraid that the Gu family has some connection with the military, otherwise how could she be so nonchalant about it?
Thinking of the arrow wound on Lady Thirteen's shoulder, one becomes even more certain of this.
"If there is a way, as long as we can make sure my father is still alive and well, this will be enough. As for asking him to come back earlier, even if I have this intention, it is not in line with my father's expectations. I can't make this decision for him. Serving his country on the battlefield is his ideal, and I support him." Cen Yan said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll ask my brother to inquire in the army, and you can rest assured. By the way, where do you live? If I get a reply from my brother, I can also ask someone to give you a message." Lady Thirteen asked.
"I live in Liushu Hutong." Cen Yan gave his home address.
Lady Thirteen nodded and took it seriously to heart.
As the two of them talked, time passed quickly.
An hour passed quickly.
Cen Yan began to clean the ointment on Lady Thirteen's shoulders.
At this time, the Thirteenth Lady suddenly thought of something and reminded her, "That Ninth Lady, she is the daughter of the Zhou family. Her uncle is an official in the capital. They are considered a very prestigious family in Xiangyao County. However, there are many officials in the capital. Her uncle's official position has no real power and is not taken seriously in the capital. It is only in a small place like Xiangyao County that she is still quite powerful. Therefore, most of the girls from the noble families here follow her lead. Today, I offended her because of my reckless words. I am afraid that she will make things difficult for you in the future. But it doesn't matter. If she dares to embarrass you, come to me and I will stand up for you!"
When she said these words, her face was full of apology.
Cen Yan, however, became thoughtful after listening to this.
This Thirteenth Lady is definitely not as naive and ignorant as she appears!
But she still liked Thirteenth Lady's personality, and she also needed her help with Cen Dahai's matter, so she didn't have to care about these things, even though Thirteenth Lady had suddenly targeted her in that shop before, perhaps with some purpose.
"Don't worry, even if she really comes to cause trouble, I have nothing to be afraid of. Xiangyao County is not a place where her Zhou family can do whatever they want." Cen Yan didn't take it too seriously.
"Well, you are absolutely right. A small Zhou family is nothing at all." After hearing this, Lady Thirteen thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, the scar is completely gone." At this time, Cen Yan wiped her delicate skin with the spiritual spring water again and said with a smile.
"Really?!" Lady Thirteen exclaimed in surprise. She hurried to the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror again and again. After confirming that the ugly scar on her shoulder was finally gone, she happily hugged Cen Yan, "You are so good! How can I be so lucky to meet you!"
Lucky?
This is indeed a blessing for Lady Thirteen, but everything that happened today can be considered a trouble for Cen Yan.
"Let's go, let's go! Let's go out and tell those people that they are all looking down on us!" After putting on her clothes, Lady Thirteen couldn't wait to pull Cen Yan out of the bedroom.
Outside, Lady Nine and the other young ladies were waiting there.
The Gu family's servants brought tea and snacks early in the morning.
Thirteenth Lady's third sister-in-law, Zhao, even came over to chat with them. In a few words, she got everything that happened today out of the young ladies.
However, she did not make any statement on this.
At this moment, seeing Lady Thirteen happily pulling a young lady who was simply dressed but extremely outstanding in appearance out in an intimate manner, he had some ideas in his mind.
"Yin Yin, you finally came out? You look so happy, could it be that the scar on your arm has been removed?" Zhao said with a smile, but she had already guessed the result.
"Of course! This Sister Cen is so amazing!" Lady Thirteen's maiden name is Gu Yinyin, and she said with a proud look on her face.
