Luo Yanfen's expression changed slightly when Cen Xiao was mentioned.
"He was mine, he was mine!" Luo Yanfen suddenly became agitated and screamed hysterically.
“You two had no relationship when you sent him to the battlefield, and you didn’t wait for him; you found another man.”
Luo Yanfen cried.
I don't know whether to feel regret or resentment.
"You two never had any emotional foundation, you weren't even a real couple, and so many years have passed. I don't believe you love him. You're just unwilling to accept it. You're unwilling to accept missing out on such a powerful and outstanding man. On top of that, you encountered scumbags like Cui Wenzhuo and Zhao Jiajia, who ruined your family. That makes you even more unwilling. Am I right?"
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Yang Cui hit her sore spot, and Luo Yanfen became so agitated that she went crazy, which aggravated her wounds, causing her to grimace in pain.
She shouted, "Yang Cui, you're just a discarded woman! What right do you have to have him? What right do you have?"
"Is it enough that I like her?"
The door creaked open, and Cen Xiao, looking travel-worn and haggard, stood in the doorway.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Yang Cui was full of tenderness.
"You're back!" Yang Cui excitedly stepped forward and hugged him. "Honey, I missed you so much!"
Feeling the warmth in his arms, Cen Xiao felt at ease.
God knows how worried and scared he was along the way.
Seeing the two embracing each other affectionately, Luo Yanfen was consumed by jealousy.
This man should have been hers, he was hers!
"Why are you back so soon? Is Qiu Mingxuan alright?"
"I'll tell you later. But how are you? Are you hurt? Were you scared?"
Yang Cui nodded with a pitiful look on her face: "I was so scared! We were so close, we were so close, we would have been separated forever."
Cen Xiao hugged the person even tighter, completely disregarding the other people around them. He was filled with remorse and kept saying, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault."
"General Cen, I have something to tell you, something very important!" Luo Yanfen felt that Cen Xiao's return meant her chance had come.
"Yang Cui isn't human, she's a demon! A monster! Ah..." In a fit of rage, Cen Xiao kicked her away: "I think you're the demon! You're spouting nonsense!"
Yang Cui was a little nervous, and she became even more certain that Luo Yanfen was a reincarnation!
“This woman has gone mad, Xiao Cui. If we ignore her, no one will believe her anyway.”
“I’m telling the truth, the real Yang Cui is long dead, she doesn’t…” Cen Xiao punched her, and Luo Yanfen instantly fainted.
Cen Xiao's face was stern: "Jealous of my wife, you'll say anything."
Yang Cui's heart was in turmoil.
She was certain that Luo Yanfen had been reborn, because only in this way could she be so sure that she was an imposter.
And Cen Xiao...
Although he repeatedly emphasized that Luo Yanfen was talking nonsense, Yang Cui felt that he had some doubts in his heart.
Her origins are too fantastical, and even though they like each other now, she doesn't dare to be honest with him.
"Go take a hot shower first to relieve your fatigue, and drink a cup of ginger tea to warm yourself up," Yang Cui changed the subject.
Judging from his appearance, Yang Cui was certain that he hadn't rested well. Riding a horse all the way back must have been very cold and tiring.
Yang Cui immediately instructed the servants to prepare hot water, and personally prepared clothes for him.
"Honey, give me a back rub."
Yang Cui felt guilty for hiding her identity from him, so now whenever her husband makes a request, she agrees without hesitation.
When someone's net worth was zero, Yang Cui couldn't help but sigh: "They really have the looks!"
While Yang Cui was still in a daze, Cen Xiao pulled her into the bathtub.
Is this some kind of bathroom play?
It's not dark yet!
"Wife, you are my wife. No matter who you are, you are my wife." Cen Xiao whispered in Yang Cui's ear.
Yang Cui's heart skipped a beat; he had indeed suspected her all along!
"Aren't you afraid I'm a demon in disguise?" Yang Cui asked timidly.
He smiled gently, his eyes filled with tenderness: "If you are a demon, then I am a Taoist priest, here specifically to subdue you."
Upon hearing this, Yang Cui hugged him and kissed him, saying, "I'll tell you my secret later..."
"good."
His simple answer contained his trust and love.
Then, absence makes the heart grow fonder...
(Please use your imagination; I can't write anymore, I'm afraid I'll be invited for a chat.)
Half an hour later, the couple finally came out of the bathroom. If it weren't for the fear of catching a cold, Cen Xiao would never have let his wife off so quickly.
Yang Cui's face burned. Now everyone in the family knew they had done *that* in the bathroom. How embarrassing!
Both of them changed into clean clothes, their hair still dripping wet. They sat by the fire, drying their hair while warming themselves by the fire. Yang Cui talked about what had happened at home and the results of Dao San's investigation.
Cen Xiao frowned upon hearing this.
Yang Cui asked him, "How is Qiu Mingxuan? In your opinion, is she involved in this matter at all?"
"The so-called robbery was just a show they put on. Qiu Mingxuan even deliberately injured herself. I didn't think you would be in danger at first. It was Dao Ba's words that made me think she might be using this as a diversionary tactic, so I rushed back immediately."
"So what do you plan to do now?"
“She hurt you, so naturally I won’t let her get away with it, but we need more evidence. Luo Yanfen’s words alone are not enough to convict her.”
I think Luo Yanfen is likely the mastermind behind this, and Qiu Mingxuan was just assisting her. Otherwise, why would Qiu Mingxuan have approached her? Qiu Mingxuan could have easily sent someone else without worrying about being implicated.
“What you said makes sense, but I don’t have any deep-seated hatred for Luo Yanfen. I really can’t understand her motives as the mastermind. Besides, even if I die, won’t Qiu Mingxuan still be clamoring to marry you? How could she possibly kill everyone?”
Cen Xiao paused for a moment, then said, "I'll investigate this matter. I'll have someone bring a few more guards."
"We've already found four people in the family."
“I saw them, but it’s not enough. Besides, these people have worked with Lin Shikang before, so we need to observe them for a while first.”

At this time in Furong County, the news that Yang Cui was safe and sound had already been delivered to Granny Tang and Qiu Mingxuan.
They never expected Yang Cuizhong to be so lucky. Who was secretly helping her?
How dare you ruin her plans!
"Granny, that woman surnamed Luo will definitely betray us," Qiu Mingxuan said worriedly. "Or should we send someone to confront her..."
"Absolutely not! Doing so would be telling them that we are involved. They have no evidence, but you are a young lady from the Duke's mansion. Without evidence, who would dare to act recklessly?" Granny Tang said. "When this woman took the initiative to come to us to cooperate, I thought she was capable and competent. I didn't expect her to be so useless! Yang Cui will definitely be on guard now, and it will be difficult for her to do anything in the future."
"Then what should we do?"
"Miss, please write a letter to the Duke first, and write it like this..."
