In fact, in the final analysis, what she is most worried about is her reputation as a "thief", isn't it?

If the lord and lady knew about it, what would they think of themselves? Presumably, they wouldn't have reached out to her like that, right?

When she first entered the Li Mansion, she was worried about this matter all the time, worried that people in the township would come over and expose the things she had done. But fortunately, the lord and the lady didn't hear any rumors, and slowly, until now, Lan Xin finally slowly let go of her defenses, put down the past, and no longer think about these things every day.

She thought she had ushered in a new life. The silver taels she earned in the Li Mansion were also sent back to the township intact to subsidize the family for her mother and younger brother. The mother's condition has gradually improved a lot because of the silver tael, and seeing that the days are getting better day by day, Lan Xin feels that life is still full of hope.

God finally saw her difficulties, so now her life has seen light again.

But Lan Xin never thought that a small person like herself would one day be targeted by the dignified prefect. When she received the letter, it was like a bolt from the blue, and she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Although the letter did not say what she had done in the township, or even a short sentence, it was enough to make Lan Xin's heart hang.

In addition to writing where and at what hour, there were a few big words written on it: Thief, do you think that what you have done, others really don't know?

Lan Xin originally thought that no one would know about this matter at all, but she didn't expect that when she felt that life was full of hope again, reality gave her a slap in the face, which made her wake up from her dream suddenly.

And Lan Xin couldn't figure out who would do such a thing to herself, not to mention, she was just a little girl who couldn't be found in the crowd, and it was not worth mentioning at all.

But this letter was enough to make Lan Xin scared. The secret she buried deep in her heart has never been discovered by anyone, but now she has been stabbed by people, how can she accept it?

Lan Xin is in this Li Mansion, and she doesn't have any relatives, she doesn't know what to do, in the end, she is not even old enough. At the moment, she could only secretly tell a lie, lying that she was going to visit a distant relative, and then she found an opportunity to sneak out.

Lan Xin has been in Li Mansion for so long, she rarely goes out, and she has always been by Li Qinghuan's side, it is rare to ask for leave, Li Qinghuan naturally will not refuse, and Lan Xin can go to see her relatives, which is also a happy and gratifying thing for Li Qinghuan.

After all, when she first met Lan Xin, Lan Xin was not at all like what she is now, she was very inferior, she was always timid in doing things, and she didn't dare to let go of herself. It wasn't until a period of time slowly passed that Lan Xin got better.

Among them, of course, Li Qinghuan's contribution is also indispensable. Li Qinghuan learned from Murong Qianqian before that she would actually bring Lan Xin to the Li Mansion because that day, when she came back from running errands outside, she found that this thin girl was in the flower bed not far from the Li Mansion, leaning there, her face was pale, she looked like she was sick, and the clothes on her body were also thin, with patched trouser legs and shabby sleeves, all of which showed that the girl was poor.

What's more, at that time, it was almost winter. No one would walk outside dressed like this, because the cold in this city is much colder than in other places.

Murong Qianqian took a closer look and found that the girl had yellow muscles and thin muscles, and there were not many taels of meat on her body, so she was malnourished at first glance. And presumably something has happened to make it like this. There was no one around her, and passers-by glanced at the girl about once in a while, but quickly looked away from their own.

This is not to blame them, human nature is inherently indifferent, and there is nothing wrong with that.

But Murong Qianqian looked at her like this, but she was moved by compassion. Probably because this girl looks really miserable, if she is left alone, maybe she will freeze to death on the street. Maybe it's because this girl looks about the same age as her daughter, or even younger than her daughter. Looking at her, it was like looking at her own daughter, so that Murong Qianqian couldn't ignore it at all.

Therefore, at that time, when Lan Xin was groggy because of hunger and was almost unconscious, she was "picked up" by Murong Qianqian and returned to the Li Mansion.

From then on, she became a maid in the Li Mansion, and later, not long after, she became Li Qinghuan's personal maid. Because she and Li Qinghuan are close in age, and Lan Xin's temperament is originally very cheerful, she is also very compatible with Li Qinghuan. It's just that the tribulations of life have made Lan Xin learn to take on more responsibilities early, after a period of recuperation, as well as the care of Mrs. and the eldest lady for her, Lan Xin is getting better day by day, her body is getting stronger and stronger, and her face has more ruddy luster, not at all like when Murong Qianqian met her in front of the Li Mansion.

In addition to seeing the care in the eyes of the lady and the eldest lady, Lan Xin also saw that the people up and down the Li Mansion were very good to her. Whether it is for the sake of the face of the lady and the eldest lady, or because Lan Xin herself is very likable, in short, Lan Xin has always been smooth sailing in the Li Mansion, and basically has not suffered any hardships.

Lan Xin's heart was very grateful to Murong Qianqian, and she was also very grateful to Li Qinghuan. If there is no wife, I am afraid there will be no future her. It is no exaggeration to say that Madame was like her savior, saving her life. Otherwise, he may have frozen to death on the street, where in the world would there be a person like Lan Xin?

Because of this, Lan Xin cherished her time in the Li Mansion very much, and she also secretly vowed to treat the eldest lady well, so that she could better repay her wife for saving her life. What happened to her past, let it be buried in time.

With such kind people as Mrs. and Eldest Lady, Lan Xin didn't want them to know about her dark and bad past. Although all this is indeed what she has to do, what she does is what she does. In addition, the people in the neighborhood spurned her, and she didn't want these things to be known by Murong Qianqian.

In their eyes, as long as they are always the innocent, cheerful and lively Lan Xin, let the other things drift away with the wind.

But Lan Xin didn't expect that one day, all these things would see the light of day again.

At that moment, she finally understood that some things happened and happened, and no matter how much she tried to hide them, it was useless. When this secret was revealed bloodily, Lan Xin realized that in fact, in his bones, he was still the same Lan Xin, who had never changed, some had low self-esteem, some fear, and was not brave enough, because he had been unable to face his former self.

She is still the same cowardly Lan Xin, and there is no change.

But when she said it, Lan Xin felt that the darkest part of herself had been seen by them, and the past she wanted to hide the most had already been known to her wife, what else was there to be afraid of, and what could not be faced?

It takes courage to say these things, but what requires courage even more is to face who you used to be.

Maybe people will always have a past that they don't want to face, but Lan Xin found that when she really faced it, she was actually braver than she imagined.

Lan Xin didn't do anything, his heart was horizontal, his eyes were closed, and he simply said everything he had done before. Now that the storm is coming, let's make it more violent.

The hall was very quiet except for Lan Xin's intermittent voice.

Murong Qianqian and they didn't open their mouths to interrupt the girl in front of them, they had also experienced a lot of ups and downs, and they hadn't seen anything, but when they heard Lan Xin say this, Li Wenyuan still had a trace of surprise in his heart.

He didn't expect that this cheerful and lively little girl actually had so many things hidden in her heart and suffered so much in the past.

From her point of view, you can probably understand why she did this.

Lan Xin is actually very ashamed of Li Qinghuan, since the decision, she has been very entangled, but in the end fear still prevailed, she didn't want to see the eldest lady and Mrs. look at herself with disappointment or disgust, after all, she was indeed a thief.

And the prefect repeatedly assured himself that the kidnapping of the eldest lady was just a show, and would not really hurt the eldest lady, so Lan Xin decided to agree to him.

Otherwise, if the prefect did anything to hurt the eldest lady, Lan Xin felt that she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

Therefore, when she saw Li Qinghuan injured and picked up in Xie Yu's arms, Lan Xin's emotions were real, how scared she was at that moment, how much she hated herself.

Seeing Li Qinghuan's pale face and lifeless lying in Xie Yu's arms, Lan Xin only felt that at that moment, she couldn't wait to give herself two slaps. The eldest lady is so good to her, but she repays the eldest lady like this, she is simply not human!

These emotions have been tormenting Lan Xin, she has actually felt uncomfortable at all in the past few days, but she doesn't dare to show it on her face, so she can only run to the eldest lady's room every day to see her appearance, hoping that she will get better soon.

Fortunately, God has eyes, and the eldest lady was only slightly injured and was not in serious trouble, which made Lan Xin breathe a sigh of relief.

Now, all her past has been shaken out, and Lan Xin has no regrets, the only thing she regrets is that she agreed to the prefect and made a move to hurt the eldest lady.

"Lan Xin, do you know what's wrong?"

Murong Qianqian looked at Lan Xin and suddenly asked.
