Fan Jian knew that this time he was really going to fall. Although he was very reluctant, he was unable to struggle at this time.

What kind of family is the Cen family?! It is a family that has contributed to the founding of the country, a hereditary marquis, a century-old noble family! So what if he is from Prince Kun's palace? He is just a small team leader who has been lowered from the eighth rank! Prince Kun

How could he possibly offend the Cen family, which holds military power, for his sake?

Now he only hopes that what Cen Lan hinted can come true, leaving the child in Shaoyao's belly and leaving a legitimate bloodline to his Fan family...

Cen Lan looked at Fan Jian who was kneeling on the ground and said coldly: "What are you admitting? Explain clearly!"

Fan Jian turned his head and glanced at Shaoyao who was crying beside him, and then at her bulging belly. After struggling for a while, he said: "Zhao Wenpei and I grew up together, our childhood sweethearts. We were already engaged, but in the end she got married.

When I arrived at the Cen Mansion, I became the concubine of Marquis Zhongyong. Although I was unwilling to do so, I had no choice but to do so. Then my Fan family fell into decline, so I came to the capital alone. Only under the care of my brother Zhao Wenpei did I get a job in the Prince's Mansion. By chance,

I met Zhao Wenpei next time and heard her talking about the difficulties in Cen Mansion, so I felt pity for her, and later she took the initiative to hint..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Before Fan Jian could finish his words, Mrs. Zhao interrupted him with a roar and said quibly: "Fan Jian! It's great that you and I were childhood sweethearts and grew up together! I married into the Cen Mansion, and in your heart

You have always hated me, and I know that I owe it to you. You don’t have to be so cruel, even if you want to kill me!” After Zhao said this, she rushed to Cen Ao’s legs and hugged her.

She hugged his thigh and cried: "Master Hou, you have to believe me! I really didn't do such shameless things, and I didn't feel sorry for you, Master Hou..."

Cen Ao's face was blue and black, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and there was a dangerous and angry atmosphere brewing in his eyes. He stared at Zhao at his feet without saying a word.

Cen Lan glanced at Zhao, and then ordered Fan Jian: "Keep talking!"

Fan Jian was silent for a moment, and then spoke again: "That day, Miss Cen Liu broke up my appointment with Zhao Wenpei at the back of Mercy Temple. Mrs. Zhao was afraid that she would tell the people of the Cen family about it, so she asked me to find a way.

Miss Cen Liu will be silenced."

Zhao was so angry and frightened that she almost fainted. Seeing that Cen Ao had not spoken a word, she still held on to a glimmer of hope and cried: "I didn't! It's not like this! Mr. Hou, you have to believe me!!"

Mrs. Cen, Cen Hongmian and others all looked very ugly. If looks could kill, Mrs. Zhao would probably be dead by now!

Cen Xiqin looked angry and said coldly: "Aunt Zhao! At this time, you are still making excuses!"

Cen Xiyan didn't speak at this moment. She stood quietly aside. She just needed to be her "victim" quietly, and someone would naturally make the decision for her.

At this time, Cen Lan asked Fan Jian again, "What about back then? Ten years ago, why did you and Mrs. Zhao attack Xi Yan when he was still a child?"

Fan Jian fell silent, not knowing how to answer this question. He was not sure how much Cen Lan knew. He was afraid that if he told the truth, he would be punished even more. He was afraid that he would not even be able to save the child in Shaoyao's belly. Although

, he is not sure now whether he can keep the child.

"Humph!" Cen Lan snorted coldly and said, "You don't want to say it? Then I'll say it for you! Ten years ago, Xi Yan's biological mother, Aunt Gu, also discovered your adultery, didn't she?!

So, you conspired to kill Aunt Gu, right?! You didn’t even want to let go of her only bloodline left in the world, so you found an old man and said that Xiyan ordered Li Li to marry her, so that she could live away from her relatives for as long as

At the age of 18, when she was being sent to Qingyuan Town, you wanted to kill her again, right?!"

Cen Lan's "Is that so?" shocked everyone in the room except Cen Xiyan! Everyone in Cen's family looked dumbfounded and unbelievable! They had never expected that Cen Xiyan would be assassinated today.

There are so many things involved!

And Mrs. Zhao, Fan Jian and Zhou Fang were also completely confused! Their brains were a little blank and there was no response for a while. Ms. Zhao was even so frightened that she forgot to cry.

It wasn't until there was a "click" that everyone came back to their senses. Following the sound, they looked over and saw that it was the corner of the table that was crushed by Cen Ao!

Mrs. Zhao was so frightened that she was trembling, her face turned pale, and her eyes could not hide the look of horror. Looking at the broken table corner, she seemed to have seen her own fate...

Cen Ao stared at Zhao in shock and anger for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhao by the collar, lifted her up, and asked sternly: "Did you kill Ting Lan?!"

"No...no...not me..." Zhao denied instinctively.

Cen Ao actually believed Cen Lan's words in his heart. He glared at Zhao with a look that seemed like he wanted to squeeze her to death! But he still held on to a glimmer of luck, hoping that none of this was true!

Cen Lan saw Cen Ao's expression in his eyes, then glanced at Zhao who couldn't help but shake his head, raised the corners of his lips, smiled sarcastically, and said: "Come here! Bring this person up!"

It was not long before Cen Lan's confidants pushed in another person. He was an old man in his sixties or seventies, wearing a Taoist robe. If it were not that the Taoist robe he was wearing was too tattered, his hair and beard were too messy, and his expression was too panicked,

In terms of appearance alone, he really has a bit of a fairy spirit.

Most of the people in the room widened their eyes when they saw this old Taoist, obviously they recognized this Taoist priest!

"Taoist Master Shangqing!" Cen Hongmian blurted out, then frowned and stared at the Taoist.

Ten years ago, Cen Hongmian was already a young boy in his teens. Naturally, he remembered what happened at that time. It was this Taoist priest from Shangqing who came to the Cen family and talked about Cen Xiyan’s fate.

As a result, his sixth sister was sent away from the Cen family, far away from her relatives, almost died, and suffered so much for so many years!

The old Taoist entered the house, knelt on the ground with a bang, and kept kowtowing to the Cen family present, begging for mercy: "Master Hou, have mercy on me! Third Master, have mercy on me! Old ladies, madams, young masters, and ladies, please have mercy on me!"

!Back then, I was obsessed and coveted that little money, so I said those nonsense and harmed the sixth lady in the house. I know I was wrong, so please have mercy..."

Seeing the Taoist Priest Shangqing come in, Fan Jian and Mrs. Zhao's faces were ashen! Big drops of sweat rolled down Fan Jian's forehead. He didn't expect Cen Lan to dig up the events of that year so deeply! He originally hugged him

With a trace of luck, he wanted to blame the whole thing on the Zhao family. For the sake of Prince Kun's palace, the Cen family might be able to give him a chance of survival, but now, he felt that he was bound to die, and even

The child may not be able to be saved!

Cen Lan asked Master Shangqing in a cold voice, "Who ordered you to frame my Miss Cen Mansion back then? Do you recognize that person now?!"

Taoist Shangqing heard Cen Lan's words and subconsciously raised his head. When he came into contact with Cen Lan's cold gaze, he shrank his neck in fright. Then he quickly looked to both sides and saw Fan Jian at a glance. He quickly stretched out his hand and

Pointing at Fan Jian, he said: "It's him! It was he who found the villain, gave him a sum of money, and let him come to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion and said so!"

Cen Lan looked at Fan Jian, slapped the table, and said sternly: "Fan Jian! Do you have anything to say?!"

Fan Jian even trembled, subconsciously shirking the responsibility and saying: "It's...it's Zhao Wenpei. She asked me to find this person to frame the Sixth Miss of the Cen Mansion!"

"No! It's not me!! It's you! It's you who want to harm me!!!" Zhao's eyes were bloodshot, and she shook her head desperately and shouted.

Cen Ao let go of Zhao's collar and kicked her all the way! Zhao felt that her intestines were almost being kicked out by Cen Ao!

Zhao endured the severe pain and crawled to Cen Ao's feet little by little, crying: "Master Hou, Wenpei has been following you and serving you for so many years, what kind of person is Wenpei?

Isn’t it clear? Master Hou, you must believe me..."

When Cen Ao heard what Zhao said, he couldn't help but think of Zhao's considerate service to him over the years, as well as his hard work and complaint when taking care of the back house. A trace of doubt and wavering flashed in his eyes.

A young woman, even though everything pointed to this woman, he still didn't want to believe that she was such a vicious woman.

Seeing the wavering look on Cen Ao's face, Cen Lan couldn't help but feel disappointed. Then she looked at Zhao, who was crying bitterly, and sneered: "Looking for Wen Pei, you really can't shed tears until you see the coffin!" After that, look.

Xiang Shaoyao, who was crying silently next to Fan Jian, said: "Shaoyao, tell me! What was the reason why you were not sent out of the government back then?!"

Hearing the words, Shaoyao trembled and leaned against Fan Jian. However, under the pressure of Cen Lan's strong aura, she still spoke and said: "Back then... Aunt Zhao bribed the kitchen

Mother Sun, every meal she gives to Aunt Gu has passed through the hands of Mrs. Wei, so... the food has been poisoned with chronic poison for a long time, so Aunt Gu has been sick all the time, and later she 'died'... slave

...This slave was sent out of the house by Aunt Zhao because she had unclean hands and feet because of this incident. Not only that, Aunt Zhao also wanted the slave's life. It was Brother Fan who felt sorry for me and moved him.

It was out of compassion that he saved me and took me in. But in these years, the slave girl has hardly dared to leave the house, for fear that Aunt Zhao would know that I was still alive in the world... Wuwu..." At the end of the sentence, Shaoyao has already

I burst into tears.

"No! It's not like this!" Mrs. Zhao hugged Cen Ao's thigh and cried: "I found out that girl Shaoyao stole jewelry and sent her away. She has always held a grudge in her heart, so she did such harm.

Me! Lord Marquis, you must trust me!"
