Embroidered golden branches

Chapter 18 Preparing to Escape
The old lady's smile didn't reach her eyes. Although she didn't know what it was, Sangsang walked over obediently. Seeing the slightly satisfied smile on the corner of the old lady's mouth, Sangsang knew that he had established a foothold with the old lady.

It's just that it's always hard to guess the people in the deep house, so she will have to pay more attention in the future.

I saw that the old lady's wrinkled hands slowly placed on her forehead, showing a bit of gentleness like an elder, with a kind look on her face, and her tone was much softer, "After coming to the Wei Mansion, you blame me for getting old, and everything can't be done" Only when you take care of everything will you know that your life is not easy."

Sang Sang followed her and pursed her lips slightly. Tears instantly filled her dark pupils, looking pitiful.

When the old lady saw this, the wrinkles on her face deepened, and she hurriedly called the maid next to her. The maid held a delicate box made of sandalwood and brought it to Sangsang. When she opened it, it was full of jewelry.

Sangsang's eyes flashed slightly, and there were waves in her heart. Her face remained calm, and she pushed the box pretending to be calm, "Old madam, this is too expensive."

The pieces of jewelry seemed to be waving to her, shining brightly.

The old lady was overjoyed when she saw how well-behaved she was. She was even happier when she gave it to her. She stuffed the box into her arms and said generously: "There will be a lot of things like this in the future! Here is just a little bit." Please accept your small kindness, I also asked the accountant to give you a monthly increase, so don't refuse."

For a moment, Sang Sang's heart felt as sweet as honey. She bent her eyes and thanked her generously, earning a wave of anger.

After getting the things, the old lady said she was going to sleep. Sangsang didn't want to stay any longer, so she said goodbye and went to her yard.

Looking at the jewels all along the way, I couldn't hide the smile on my face.

This time I can get jewelry and a lot of silver!The escape plan is just around the corner!

But he never thought that all of this would fall into Wei Cheng's eyes. He was standing behind a tree not far away, dressed in green clothes. The sunlight filtered through the leaves and cast mottled shadows on his body. The breeze blew gently, and his black hair became random. Fly.

One person is like a painting.

He smiled with peach blossom eyes, lips and teeth slightly parted, "It turns out this girl likes these things."

He secretly made up his mind, but he didn't know that on the second day, Sangsang had disguised himself, leaving some hairpins that he could wear on weekdays, and took the rest to the pawn shop and exchanged them for a large sum of silver.

The days passed slowly and leisurely like this.

It happened that Sangsang's cloth was finished that day. She packed all the fabrics and sent them to the boss's wife. She specifically asked that this might be the last batch of cloth. The boss's wife tried several times to persuade her, but she was no match for Sangsang, so she had to give it to her. Spread the word.

When people who had previously purchased cloth heard about it, they came to buy it one after another. Within a short time, the cloth in the store had been sold out.

The landlady felt sorry for her, but she was kind-hearted. She actually gave Sangsang a lot of money, and specifically asked her to contact her if he wanted to make another plan in the future.

Along the way, Sangsang's wallet was heavy.

She can find a chance to leave.

In the future, you won’t have to be slandered by others, let alone bullied!

When she thought of this, Sangsang's feet jumped for joy, and she walked much more briskly. However, she seemed to have thought of something and said suddenly: "By the way, I almost forgot one thing."

She also wanted to give half of the silver to Wei Cheng, as well as a set of clothes. Fortunately, she had left a piece of the best quality fabric and had it made into ready-made clothes. Everything was ready.

However, it has been a long time since she studied with Wei Cheng. She heard that he has been busy with many affairs recently and rarely sees him in the house on weekdays.

If you want to hand things over to him, you still need to wait for the opportunity.After waiting like this for several days, the winter snow came again, covering the houses and the ground with white snow. There was less sunshine and the weather became colder.

This morning, several girls who were cleaning the snow gathered together and whispered, as if they were plotting something, "The house was recently robbed. A lot of my lady's things were stolen, and my most precious necklace was also missing. ."

"It's really vicious, so am I! My bracelet is also missing."

"This thief is really brave. He dared to come to the Wei Mansion to steal." Someone said.

"Isn't that right? And since the young lady told the old lady last time, she thought it was the new cousin who did it. Unexpectedly, the cousin proved her innocence. Mr. Wei has been investigating for several days, but there is no result."

These words fell into Sangsang's ears in detail, bringing back memories of the past. It turned out that there was really a thief in this house.

Wei Lingyin must have used this to criticize her!

However, she was leaving soon, and whatever happened in this house had nothing to do with her.

That night, she finally found out that Wei Cheng was in the house. She hurriedly prepared her things, her feet were as fast as the wind, and her figure passed through the falling snowflakes and went straight to Wei Cheng's study.

When she came to the study, she saw that the study was brightly lit, with candlelight flickering faintly. She stepped forward, and for some reason, she felt a little nervous.

That subtle emotion flashed past. Sangsang hid it and finally knocked on the door.

Sure enough, there was a sound from inside the door.

It must be said that Wei Cheng's voice was pleasant to the ear, a little ethereal and a little soft, like a clear spring in the mountains or like the patter of rain on a night, "Come in."

As her voice sounded, inexplicably, her heart began to beat.

She was indeed on guard against Wei Cheng before, but why was she so nervous now?

When Sang Sang entered the room, a wave of warmth rushed towards her face, instantly dispelling the coldness all over her body. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Wei Cheng, dressed in brocade clothes, lying on the couch, holding a book in his hand, and reading carefully. .

"What's the matter?" he asked aloud.

Upon hearing this, Sang Sang quickly presented the things he had prepared with both hands, with a respectful look on his face. He was really very well-behaved, "This was an agreement made before. Since you have not exposed my secret, I will naturally abide by it." promise."

Wei Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and took the thing in her hand. The heavy purse made him a little surprised. His eyes flashed and he paused for a moment.

She actually earned so much. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Sangsang for a moment. Only for a moment did he realize that he had really underestimated the person in front of him.

Then, he took the clothes and looked at them carefully for a while. For some reason, he gradually felt a bit of joy in his heart. It was not that he had never received clothes before, but this clothes particularly suited his liking.

The fabric felt comfortable and soft, with just the right size and shape. In an instant, his eyes lit up again and again.

His face actually showed a bit of the joy of a child receiving a gift.
