This kind of person has weak willpower to begin with, and once their defenses are overcome, it will no longer be a problem for them to reveal any secret.
He Sheng looked at Cen Er, who was trembling on the ground but holding the cash box tightly, with contempt. His face showed nothing, but the contempt in his eyes almost overflowed from his eyes.
Yuqing was also somewhat suspicious. The man in front of him agreed to betray others so easily and would give up everything for money. Wouldn't it be a no-brainer that he would betray Wei An in the future
As long as people can afford the price, I'm afraid such people will do anything.
Wei An didn't have this worry, as she knew this kind of people very well. Because of this understanding, she didn't have any pressure in using them. As for something like equal exchange, she naturally had to make the best use of it.
She smiled, her clear eyes gleaming with irresistible starlight, and she squatted down and looked at Cen Er with some temptation: "If that's the case, then it's settled."
She glanced at He Sheng again: "But I have to say something ugly first. I heard that you like gambling very much, so you should understand the principle of never regretting your move. From now on, you may have to go to jail and face many noble people..."
Cen Er was a little nervous and dazed. He seemed to understand something, but was more confused. He hugged the cash box tightly in his arms and said nothing.
Wei An smiled again: "But no matter what, you have to grit your teeth and tell them what you told me today. I hope you tell the truth, because only the truth can't be found flawed, and it can still stand up to scrutiny again and again..."
She nodded towards Wenxiu, and Wenxiu quickly hooked the cash box with her foot, closed it with a click, held it in her hands, and looked down at Cen Er.
Cen Er became nervous and instinctively jumped into the air to catch it.
Wenxiu kicked her back to her original position and she couldn't help but curse angrily.
Wei An didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry, it's yours, so it's yours. It's just that you hold the cash box in your hands, and it seems that you can't listen to me properly, so I can only take it away temporarily so that you can listen and talk properly."
She swung her sleeves and sat on the rose chair, her snow-white yet not pale face gradually becoming solemn: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's get started now, I have something to ask you."
In his previous life, Wei An only vaguely knew that Qin Sheng and Qiu Chuying fell out because of his beloved sister.
But Wei An could only guess what the secret was. What Peng Caichen told her in the previous life was also ambiguous and not in detail.
Having said that, even if it was detailed, given Wei An's personality, he would definitely ask for more details before he would give up.
Relying on the very little information and a surname that she remembered clearly, Wei An asked He Sheng to find Cen Er as a breakthrough point. After investing so much manpower and resources, Cen Er had better be worthy of the compensation she paid.
Cen Er covered his shoulder and nodded anxiously.
Wei An still smiled and looked at his round nails, and asked him softly: "Qiu Chuying, who is she to you?"
Cen Er's knees made a crisp sound. He rubbed them vigorously, smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm his brother-in-law."
Wei An raised his eyelids in surprise.
Yuqing was also very confused and burst out laughing: "His brother-in-law is the young master of the Shangshu Mansion! Now he is in the Ministry of Rites and has a promising future!"
Cen Er sneered, and immediately put away his previous cautious curled posture, sitting cross-legged and leaning lazily on the ground, snorting: "He is indeed a powerful and wealthy brother-in-law, but he must be genuine."
He had an attitude that he would not say anything unless the price was raised. Yuqing could not help but frowned: "If you have something to say, just say it now. Don't be so secretive. If you really don't want to live anymore, we have many ways to make you say it!"
Cen Er believed this. He had never seen much of the world, but on the way to this place, he had suffered a lot from the tricks used by the bodyguards.
Naturally, those who can order these people around are not ordinary people.
He curled his lips and said in a bored voice, "Well, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. In name, the young master of a rich family you mentioned is the brother-in-law of that guy named Qiu, but in fact, his brother-in-law is me."
He pointed at himself with his finger, his nose turned up to the sky: "When he was not rich, he was just a poor scholar, and he was engaged to my sister at an early age. But when he became rich, he married a rich man."
He must have been very angry, so he really let go and started to curse: "He is the Chen Shimei of the modern world, a bad man, who married a high-ranking official and the daughter of a minister. His parents shamelessly took back the betrothal gift given to my family and changed their faces."
"My sister refused and tried to commit suicide. My parents also refused and almost died in front of his house. But it was no use. He had already risen to prominence. In the end, we had no choice but to accept our fate."
He talked for a long time, mostly swearing, so Wei An coughed.
Cen Erxin closed his mouth unwillingly and continued, "It's a pity that doing too many bad things will bring retribution. His fairy-like wife is good in every way, but she has a bad relationship with his family and can't give birth. There has been no news for several years."
He smiled, gloating over his misfortune: "Later, he went to work as an official in another province, and he didn't come home for two or three years. His wife couldn't have children anymore, and she quarreled with his protective mother every day..."
He frowned and sighed, "Anyway, later on, he probably got fed up and started dating my sister again."
"My sister is also a bitch. She stuck to him even though he didn't want her. Because of this, my parents were so angry that they got sick and died." Cen Er patted his legs. "My sister and I have never had a good relationship since we were young. She thought I was not ambitious. Later, when the marriage was cancelled, she thought I was cheating and made him cancel the engagement. She blamed me even more. As a result, she later married into the Qiu family and didn't want to talk to me."
Cen Er became angry again as he spoke: "I owed gambling debts, and she would rather watch me die than save me. One time, I was really pushed to the limit and had nowhere else to go. I stayed at her house and refused to leave, and that's when I happened to hear what happened."
This was probably the secret he knew. Wei An smiled and motioned him to continue.
Cen Er spat, and then continued: "Everywhere was busy and chaotic, as if something big had happened. Later, a maid came in and said that the Madam was not well, and asked if we should write a letter to the Master, asking him to come back or something..."
