After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!

I know the best plan now. If I want Wen Yichen and I to be on the same boat, I naturally have to dispel his doubts.

He himself is not a very suspicious person, but there is a group of people behind him whom he wants to protect, so this is the result.

I didn't continue talking to him because I knew that even if I told him everything now, he wouldn't reveal anything deeper.

I didn't intend to embarrass him, so I pretended to be unwell and went back to my room.

Xiao Tao was very confused and asked: "Miss, why don't you explain it clearly to the Third Prince? You are not involved in the struggle for imperial power, and you have not fought against anyone. There are only two of you here. You are all in the same boat."

I turned around and knocked on Xiao Tao's head and said, "You are stupid! Now he must know that someone is tipping off others. At present, I am the one who spends the most time with him, so he will naturally suspect me. I don't have any evidence in my hand yet. If I had evidence, I would naturally prove it. Proof without evidence is useless."

After listening to this, Xiao Tao said: "Then for now we can only find some evidence to prove our innocence."

I sighed and said, "That's true. But how can we find the evidence? We are unfamiliar with this place. I really can't think of anyone who can help me prove it!"

I returned to my room, thinking about it all the time. What happened in the past few days was too weird, starting from when I entered Yecheng and met that little girl.

I suddenly thought of something. That little girl. She could soften my heart at first sight, which proved that this was something that only someone who knew me well could do. Maybe I should go find that little girl.

But I really didn’t know the way, and the place was really remote and I was unfamiliar with the place.

Xiao Tao didn't come with me that day. Now when I look at her, I can only sigh.

I thought of Li Wenxian again. As long as I could find him, he would be familiar with the place and would be able to take me there. Maybe he and I could go look for it.

I immediately asked Xiao Tao to find out where Li Wenxian lived. I needed to interview him.

Xiao Tao chatted with the people around her and unexpectedly ran into an old lady. The old lady had lived here for many years and she had a deep impression of Li Wenxian when she mentioned him!

Xiao Tao took the opportunity to ask: "The old lady, do you know where he lives now?"

The old woman shook her head and said, "I don't know much. But that boy used to live nearby. At first, he and the other two were not welcome here. But not long after, the three fatherless children all moved away. Li Wenxian went to the richest man's house. He turned out to be the richest man's son. Now you can find out where the richest man lives by asking where he lives. But why do you want to find him?"

Xiao Tao was not stupid. She knew she could not reveal her identity and said, "My master and he have been friends for many years. But he left a few years ago. Now when I came back, I found that he no longer lives here. So I asked if anyone knew. I didn't expect that someone actually knew. I also didn't expect to meet you!"

The old woman nodded and said with a smile: "Little girl, your accent doesn't sound like you are from here, does it?"

Xiao Tao also smiled and said: "I am definitely not from here. I am from Beijing, so I speak with an accent from somewhere else."

After hearing this, the old woman suddenly realized and said, "From the capital. You must be Wen Yichen's maid."

Xiao Tao was a little shocked. She didn't expect that the old lady knew Wen Yichen. But since she said she was from Beijing, if she said she wasn't, the old lady would be very alert. If she said she was, she might be able to get more useful information.

Xiao Tao said stiffly, "Yes. I left in a hurry, and I didn't know he moved away later. Now that I'm here again, I naturally want to see her again."

The old woman smiled and said, "Your master, Li Wenxian, and Jin Ran are all good friends. I didn't expect that after so many years, they still miss each other. Li Wenxian is also a good kid. He would come back often after he left. If he saw that those around us were not doing well, he would help us."

Xiao Tao didn't say anything else and just listened to the old woman talking to herself. When the old woman got tired of talking, Xiao Tao came over from the house with some fruits.

Xiao Tao ran into the house excitedly and said, "Miss! Miss! I found out!"

I was also very excited when I heard this, and immediately pulled Xiaotao into the house and said, "What did you find out?"

"Miss, I found out where Li Wenxian lives. It's the home of the richest man in Yecheng. It's very easy to find. Moreover, Li Wenxian and Wen Yichen grew up together, and there is also a Jin Ran. But the old lady doesn't know Jin Ran's whereabouts. I found out from the neighbors." Xiao Tao replied.

After I heard this, my eyes sparkled. I just wanted to know where Li Wenxian lived. Jin Ran should also be a key figure, but the most important person right now is not this person, but Li Wenxian.

I immediately ran to the street to ask where Li Wenxian lived. Everyone was happy to tell me where Li Wenxian lived. There were often some refugees begging at the door of Li Wenxian's house.

Knowing that Li Wenxian's family was rich and would often help these people, many refugees would ask where Li Wenxian lived. But I still saw their surprised looks.

People who were usually asked about were those who were dressed in rags, but I was dressed neatly and clearly not a refugee or a poor person.

But those surprised looks disappeared after a while. I dress like a boy when I go out now, and Xiao Tao also dresses like a boy, so naturally, everyone thinks it might be someone else. Also, Li Wenxian's security system is very good, so if I want to harm Li Wenxian, I have no way to stop him.

I followed the route they gave me and arrived at the door of Li Wenxian's house. When I saw the bodyguards at his door, I swallowed my saliva. They were tall and burly, with fierce looks on their faces.

This guy is not someone you want to mess with. On second thought, this is the home of the richest man after all. There is no telling how many gold, silver and jade items there are. If you don't hire a good bodyguard, I'm afraid a lot of the stuff inside will be stolen by others.

I stepped forward timidly and said, "Um, is Mr. Li from your family at home?"

The bodyguards heard that I didn't have a local accent and said angrily: "You are not a local? What do you want from our young master?"

I hesitated for a while and said, "I am a friend of your Mr. Li. I came here to talk to him about something. How about you go in and tell him?"

The bodyguards carefully looked at my figure and thought that I should not be a big threat. However, they still did not dare to take it lightly. After all, the salary level of this job was good. If I was fired by the Li family, other people might not be able to offer such a high salary!

The bodyguards softened their tone and said, "Our Master is not here. We need you to come next time!"

I thought the bodyguards thought we were not good people and were unwilling to let us in.

I said with a sneer on my face: "Everyone, I really have something urgent to ask. Please go in and help pass the message on for me!"

The bodyguards were speechless for a while, and didn't want to continue to pay attention to me. So they immediately said: "The young master is really not here. If he is, we will naturally help to pass the message. If you are really his friend, we don't pass the message, and the young master finds out in the future. Then our job will be ruined. We don't want to give up our job!"

I was completely depressed after hearing this. I have wasted too long in Yecheng. I don't want to delay any longer. I just want to find out the truth as soon as possible and go to the battlefield!

I turned around with a droopy face, and saw a carriage parked in front of the Li Mansion. Li Wenxian walked out.

Li Wenxian and I looked at each other. Li Wenxian immediately frowned and said, "Why are you here? Wen Yichen asked you to come!"

I was not sent by Wen Yichen, but under the current circumstances, I could only bite the bullet and agree. I nodded guiltily and said, "Yes, he asked me to come. Can we come into the mansion to discuss in detail?"

Li Wenxian looked around and thought it might not be a good idea to talk outside, so he immediately asked me to follow him into the Li Mansion.

Then we followed him to the study. Li Wenxian stopped pretending when we got to the study. He asked me to sit down in the study and said, "Just tell me what you want to talk to me about. If Wen Yichen wanted to talk to me about something urgent, he would come here in person instead of asking you to come!"

I lowered my head in embarrassment and said in a voice that only a mosquito could hear: "I'm really sorry. This is the only excuse I can use to get you to see me. That's why I used it."

Li Wenxian never liked to say polite words. He nodded and told me to speak directly.

I said sheepishly: "I want you to take me to find the little girl who first met you that day."

Li Wenxian widened his eyes in disbelief and said, "Why did you look for her? If it weren't for your overflowing kindness, you would have almost harmed my brother Wen. Why do you still want to look for her now?"

I said with some lack of confidence: "That day you said that someone from the Rong tribe took advantage of her. I want to know who took advantage of her. I am just too curious! Now Wen Yichen doesn't believe me. I think if the little girl is willing to say it wasn't me, he should believe it!"

Li Wenxian smiled speechlessly and said: "Do you think I haven't thought of this method? I asked a long time ago, but the little girl didn't know either. Now I also want to know who is behind this!"

I shook my head and said, "I want to go and see. Take me there! I always feel that the little girl is not an actress. Maybe she will tell me the truth."

Li Wenxian also knew that the girl was not pretending, and he also wanted to know who was behind it, so he sighed and took me to a remote courtyard in the mansion.

The clothes of the people in this courtyard are different from those of other people. The clothes of other servants are considered to be more gorgeous. In contrast, the people in this courtyard are dressed simply. And there are a group of people here.

When they saw Li Wenxian coming, they enthusiastically pulled Li Wenxian aside and showed him the fruits and vegetables they had recently planted.

Li Wenxian really went to look at them one by one, and was able to remember the names of those people one by one, and he also praised them seriously!

Then he led me to a little girl. After not seeing her for a few days, I could hardly recognize her. The little girl's face had been washed clean, and the clothes she wore were no longer tattered, but were what she should wear at her age.

Her mother was working on the field nearby. The girl lowered her head when she saw me. She felt that she had deceived me, so she felt a little embarrassed.

Li Wenxian squatted down and said to the little girl: "I have something to tell you. Do you want to meet him alone?"

The girl kept hiding next to her mother. I also squatted down and said to the girl: "Don't worry. I won't hurt you. I just want to ask you some questions."

The girl's mother patted her on the shoulder and said, "Go! I believe she won't hurt you! If you have anything to say, just tell her! If you don't trust her, don't you trust your mother?"

The girl hesitated for a while, then followed me out of the courtyard and came to Li Wenxian's study.

I pulled the girl and said, "Do you still remember me?"

The girl nodded and said, "I remember. It was you who saved me on the street that day. But your rescue that day was intentional on my part."

I nodded and said, "I know. I don't mean to blame you. I came here today just to ask you something."

The girl nodded and said, "Are you asking me who told me to do this? If I say I don't know, would you believe me? My mother was too ill at the time. I had no choice! I remember two kinds of people came to see me. And I didn't know what they looked like. At the time, I wasn't sure if you would look at me and save me. But someone behind me kept telling me to go and trick you into my house. They would give me some money!"
