Five days later, Dongting brought a big boy from Zigui City.

The boy was wearing coarse cloth and most of his face was burned. It was not difficult to see from the other exposed skin on his body that it had been burned. This was a child who had suffered a great disaster.

In the guest room, Yan Kaiyu asked Dong Ting, "Why are you the only one with him? Where are Mu Yu and Ye Kai?"

"Your Majesty, something happened in Zigui City. Three days ago, City Lord Ye was out and was ambushed by a group of people. His men couldn't resist and he was injured." Dong Ting continued, "City Lord Ye was afraid of any accidents, so he asked Young Master Ye and Mu Yu to stay behind and one of my subordinates brought him here."

Yan Kaiyu said solemnly: "To injure Ye Shenming, it must be Ma Yi himself. It seems that he is determined to get the last volume of the Reversal Method this time. Let's hurry up and deal with things here, and then rush over immediately."

Dong Ting pointed at the boy standing next to him and said, "Your Majesty, he is the only survivor of the Cen family that night. At your request, the old Taoist priest and City Lord Ye took great pains to find him."

Although Yan Kaiyu was used to seeing life and death, there was still sympathy in his eyes. He nodded: "If he hasn't eaten yet, take him to eat something, and then go find Cen Yi. I will go and wake the princess up."

When the boy heard the word "Cen Yi", his body moved subconsciously and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

In the room, Shangguan Zimeng was sleepy. She was clearly awake, yet she looked like she was asleep. For some reason, she couldn't sleep well these past few days, and she really didn't want to get up.

"Little lazy pig, get up and don't sleep any more."

Shangguan Zimeng knocked his hand off her face and said in a baby voice, "Hey, let me sleep a little longer, it's nothing."

Yan Kaiyu kissed him gently and said, "Of course I have something to say. Why would I call you if there was nothing to say? You have a bad temper and I am afraid of being beaten."

"If you have anything to say, just tell me now. You are such a slow-moving old man."

"I just want to talk to you more." Yan Kaiyu has become very docile recently. Since his wife asked him to speak, he could only obey: "The person who can prove your innocence, Dongting brought him here."

"What!" As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Zimeng jumped up, without even putting on her shoes, and ran outside to look left and right: "Where is the person? Where is the person!?"

She really attaches great importance to the word innocence, which is related to a person's dignity and quality. She hates being misunderstood, which feels really bad.

Previously, she had always thought that the body her soul had passed into was the number one female assassin in the martial arts world, and that she had taken many lives. Although they were not her doing, she still felt very guilty.

The situation is different now. She learned that the owner of this body was a good person who had accumulated good karma for three lifetimes and did not massacre an entire family. This made her feel very happy and relieved.

In the yard, the boy saw Shangguan Zimeng and his eyes lit up. He had seen her before.

At this time, Yan Kaiyu chased out with shoes in hand and put them on her in front of everyone, and kept nagging: "Look at you, you were like this last time in the palace, so impetuous, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

"It's okay, I'm in good health."

She said this proudly, but she was actually very happy in her heart.

Yan Kaiyu put her shoes on, stood up and looked at her, showing a meaningful smile, and said softly: "That's right, she is indeed in good health."

Shangguan Zimeng, as a girl who understood immediately, blushed immediately. Afraid that others in the yard would think too much, she deliberately found an excuse: "It's a bit cold."

Yan Kaiyu touched her face and said, "Xiao Tuan's face is quite hot."

She rolled her eyes at him: "I'm cold, okay?"

"It's warm in my arms."

"go away."

The couple's flirting was seen by everyone else, and they could only eat this wave of dog food in silence.

Cen Yi had just returned from outside, so she naturally saw this scene. She tried to remain calm, but it was not difficult to see envy and resentment in her eyes.

"sister."

The boy saw Cen Yi and started to speak. Although he was so young, his voice became hoarse due to permanent trauma from the fire.

Despite this, Cen Yi still felt that the person in front of her gave her a sense of familiarity and intimacy, but she couldn't remember who he was for a moment, so she asked, "Who are you?"

"Sister, I'm Cen Wen."

Cen Wen, whose original surname was Zhang, lost his father when he was young trying to save Cen family patriarch Cen Yonghe (Cen Yi's father). Cen Wen was adopted as his son by Cen Yonghe and changed his surname to Cen. He was the only survivor of the massacre.

"You are Cen Wen?!" Cen Yi was shocked. She couldn't believe that the person in front of her was Cen Wen, who was only 16 years old. "How did you become like this?"

She looked at her younger brother with eyes full of pain. They had been playing and making trouble together since they were young and had a deep relationship. Although they were not biological children, they were better than biological children.

Cen Wen said with a tearful tone, not only did he want to cry, he also blamed himself a little: "Sister, it was the fire, I couldn't save my brother, and I don't have the ability to take revenge."

The younger brother he was referring to was Cen Yi’s biological younger brother, who was only five years old.

Cen Wen told Cen Yi the truth about that night.

After Shangguan Zimeng fainted in the lobby, Gao Xin killed the head of the family with his own hands. His mother and they witnessed it all in the dark, and she took them to the backyard and hid them in a secret compartment.
