Chapter 993: Relief
After Ming Cui finished speaking, Lan Xin didn't speak for a long time.
Just when Mingcui thought that Lan Xin hadn't understood what she meant, Lan Xin suddenly reached out and touched Mingcui's forehead.
Ming Cui: "...... Lanxin, what are you doing? β
Lan Xin touched Mingcui's forehead, withdrew her hand, touched her forehead lightly, and muttered to herself: "It's nothing, I just want to see if I'm sick, or Mingcui You're sick, why did you start talking nonsense?" "The eldest lady will easily forgive her? Lan Xin didn't believe it was true at all.
As soon as Ming Cui heard Lan Xin's words, she understood what she was thinking, and she couldn't help but have a few more black lines on her forehead.
In her opinion, the person who has the problem must be Lan Xin.
"I think you're just starting to talk nonsense."
Ming Cui glared at Lan Xin angrily, and said angrily: "What's the matter, don't you think I'm coaxing you to be happy?" β
Lan Xin sighed softly, and did not deny it.
"I made a big mistake, how can the eldest lady forgive me easily, Mingcui, you are making fun of me."
What's more, Mingcui is delicate and understands a lot of things, unlike herself, she is always reckless, and she is often clumsy, and staying by the side of the eldest lady is also the kindness of the eldest lady. Let Mingcui serve by her side this time, Mingcui is so considerate and gentle, how could the eldest lady let her leave?
If she were the eldest lady, she would also choose Mingcui!
Ming Cui looked at Lan Xin's appearance, and couldn't help but make an indecent roll of her eyes, she would never do such a thing on weekdays, but this time, even the good-tempered Ming Cui couldn't hold back her inner emotions.
"You stupid girl, say you're stupid, you're really stupid. The eldest lady said such things to you, you dare to love you and didn't understand it at all, how can you not understand the bitter conscience of the eldest lady at all. If the eldest lady knew that you thought like this, she would definitely be angry with you. β
Ming Cui poked Lan Xin's head again with some hatred, this time, but with ten percent of her strength, Lan Xin wrinkled a small face, only to feel that Ming Cui's anger was triggered, and it hurt a lot more than the wound on her forehead.
"Ouch, Sister Mingcui, will the eldest lady really let me go back?"
Lan Xin had a crumpled little face and wanted to mix her head, but under Ming Cui's stressful gaze, she didn't dare to make a move, so she could only ask weakly.
In fact, it's no wonder that Lan Xin thinks like this, if she is any other person, she can't forgive her actions, even she can't forgive herself, how can the eldest lady easily forgive her?
What's more, this so-called punishment is not worth mentioning at all in the face of her mistakes. Lan Xin really couldn't believe that the eldest lady would mean this.
Although hearing Ming Cui say this, Lan Xin's heart was more or less touched, but she didn't dare to hold any hope, because she was afraid that in the end, if she had hopeful thoughts, the result would not be what she thought in her heart. When the time comes, there will be even more suffering.
Lan Xin didn't want to experience such emotions, which was really too cruel for her.
In this case, it is better not to have any hope in the first place, so that there will be no disappointment.
Ming Cui looked at Lan Xin's appearance, her mind was as delicate as her, and she could naturally guess what Lan Xin was thinking. What's more, Lan Xin, this girl, was not originally a person who could hide her thoughts.
Although Ming Cui used to occasionally envy Lan Xin, she was able to serve by Li Qinghuan's side for a long time and be her personal maid. But Mingcui was not jealous of her, nor did she want to replace her. For Mingcui, she can help the eldest lady serve her most beloved flowers, and get the eldest lady's full trust, which is enough for Mingcui.
At least in this matter, she is irreplaceable. As long as this is the case, she is already content.
There is nothing more satisfying and secure than being the only one who can do it, at least, being needed, and that's enough.
"The eldest lady proposed such a punishment, naturally I also hope that you can figure it out and let go of the past, otherwise why bother to let you clean the garden for a month, can't she just kick you out? Lanxin, it is the current you who know and get along with us, not the former you, so the former you is really not that important to us. Because what we have been in contact with has always been you now, and what kind of person you are, we know better than anyone else. In that case, why don't you let go of your past self? Have you ever thought that it's not that the eldest lady doesn't forgive you, but that you have never been able to forgive yourself for having past experiences. β
Mingcui said bitterly, in the face of this Lan Xin who is younger than herself, Ming Cui has always regarded her as a sister, she naturally doesn't want Lan Xin to be in this state all the time, and this is not the Lan Xin she knows and is familiar with on weekdays.
When Lan Xin heard Ming Cui's words, her whole person was shocked.
She had never thought about this problem, Ming Cui's words reminded Lan Xin of what Mrs. had said to her before, it seemed that Mrs. had always known about her past, but she had never mentioned it in front of her, let alone had any opinions on her, she did not drive her out of the Li Mansion, and even let her serve closely by the side of the eldest lady.
Doesn't all this show that Madame has always trusted her?
Lan Xin always thought that this was just because his wife was kind-hearted, and if he were someone else, he would never let a thief stay by his daughter's side. But she never thought that all of this was actually earned by her own efforts, and it didn't have much to do with other people.
Although he thinks like this, he is a little suspicious of boasting about himself, but Lan Xin has been in the Li Mansion for so long, and he has always thought that he is conscientious and diligent in doing his own thing, although he occasionally makes mistakes, but the lady and the eldest lady will never dislike themselves, let alone drive themselves away.
Perhaps, as Ming Cui said, all of this is just that he has been drilling the horns of the bull all along. The secret that he had been trying to hide was discovered, and even the lady already knew all this, and perhaps, the eldest lady actually knew about it.
After all, Madame did not have the need to hide from the eldest lady.
Ming Cui looked at Lan Xin's stunned expression, sighed softly, and continued to speak: "Lan Xin, you are like this, in fact, you don't trust the performance of the eldest lady at all, you have been worried about how the eldest lady will punish you, have you ever thought that the eldest lady may never have thought of doing this?" It's just because your heart is not confident in this matter, and maybe your past experience also makes you feel inferior, but this is not a reason for you to doubt the eldest lady. What kind of person is the eldest lady, and you have been by her side for so long, do you have no idea in your heart? β
Ming Cui asked a few questions one after another, like a sharp sword, piercing into Lan Xin's heart, she suddenly raised her head, and subconsciously said, "How can I not trust the eldest ladyββ"
As soon as the words came out, Lan Xin's throat choked, and she couldn't speak anymore.
Yes, what Sister Mingcui said is not wrong, what she did was on the surface to repent and blame herself, hoping to be punished. But in fact, how could she have trusted the eldest lady? She didn't believe that the eldest lady would not punish her at all. In the deepest part of her heart, what is the difference between the eldest lady and those who bully her?
Lan Xin always thought that after that incident, it would be difficult for her to trust others anymore, until she met Mrs. and Eldest Lady.
But what he is doing now is not the same as before.
The eldest lady is clearly different from those who bully herself.
She didn't even say a word to herself, but why was she just hard to believe?
Lan Xin really realized at this moment how much she cared about what had happened in her heart, and how inferior and powerless she was in her heart.
Mingcui was right, she had always been the one who didn't let herself go, so she didn't dare to trust anyone, even if she knew that the other party was well-intentioned.
Lan Xin looked at Ming Cui blankly, tears falling out of her eyes, wetting the placket in front of her.
"Sister Mingcui - you, you're right, it's me who is too narrow-minded, even the eldest lady can't believe it, it's all my fault......"
Lan Xin said as she shed tears, her tone choked, as if she had been greatly wronged, her little shoulders twitched, and she looked fragile.
Mingcui looked at Lan Xin with pity, she didn't say anything, just took two steps forward, approached Lan Xin, gently stretched out her hand, and took Lan Xin, who was crying into tears, into her arms.
Lan Xin's chin rested on Ming Cui's shoulder, tears kept falling, wetting Ming Cui's clothes, but Ming Cui didn't care about it, she just gently hugged Lan Xin, stroked Lan Xin's shoulder one by one, and comforted her silently.
Ming Cui's actions made Lan Xin's tears fall more cheerfully.
At this time, all the grievances, sorrows and remorse in her heart were all released.
"Wow-"
Lan Xin couldn't hold back anymore and cried out loud.
Mingcui patted Lan Xin's back and said in a low voice: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all over, it's okay to cry......"
No one passed where they stood, so Lan Xin's cry was not heard.
I don't know how long it took, Lan Xin's voice was hoarse, and then it slowly stopped. She leaned on Ming Cui's shoulder, her body twitched, and Ming Cui thought that she was going to turn her back on her breath several times.
Mingcui didn't let go, and quietly listened to Lan Xin's soft sobbing.
After a long time, Lan Xincai said in a hoarse voice: "Sister Mingcui, thank you." β
The corners of Mingcui's mouth finally showed a smile.
"You're welcome."
