An Xuan knew that An Lan was unhappy at the An Family, but he had never imagined that her situation was even worse than that of a servant. In the countryside, even though life was tough, An Xuan was very much loved by his foster mother. Before she fell ill, she hardly let him do any housework. By comparison, An Xuan even felt that being sent to the countryside was a blessing.
"Sis... I never realized how hard your life was. I even misunderstood you for currying favor with others through seduction and using power to oppress people. An Yuxian always misled me. She talked about you, making herself out to be a victim just like before. I was so stupid. I almost accepted the thief as my father. Sis, I was wrong. I know I was a jerk before, and I don't expect you to forgive me. I am here to sincerely apologize to you, and to acknowledge how hard you've worked over these many years."
An Xuan stood up and deeply bowed to An Lan.
