Embroidered golden branches

Chapter 30 Doubt

In the store, Wei Cheng called the landlady and asked him about the meeting between the landlady and Sangsang today.

"Sang Sang is such a pearl!" She praised Sang Sang when she saw Wei Cheng.

"Since he dyed cloth in the shop, I have had a lot more customers. It's all because of her!"

When talking about Sangsang, the landlady smiled from ear to ear, her eyes were as crescent-shaped, and she seemed to really like Sangsang.

As she spoke, she handed the account book she brought over to Wei Cheng as if to show off.

Of course, only part of the bill.

"I'm not boasting, all my old and new customers say yes."

Wei Cheng glanced at her lightly and said, "I didn't expect that she has such ability."

Seeing this, the wife of the boss remembered Sangsang's instructions again. After praising her, she still sighed, "It's a pity that she doesn't do it now, otherwise, she will definitely have a great career."

Wei Cheng glanced at her with a complicated expression, but said nothing and went out directly.

Luzhi watched from outside until he was sure that Wei Cheng had left, then he went back in a panic to tell Sang Sang.

They only talked for a while before Wei Cheng left without any angry look on his face. It seemed that the landlady had not leaked anything.

Thinking of this, Sangsang breathed a sigh of relief.

She drew a few more line drawings on the paper and handed the manuscript to Sequoia.

"You have to hand this drawing to the landlady with your own hands. Don't let it pass through other people's hands." Sangsang told her as always.

Sequoia nodded vigorously, "My cousin, please take care of yourself."

With that said, she got up and walked outside.

When he walked to the door, he happened to meet Wei Cheng coming.

"Son!"

She yelled, and Sangsang came out after hearing the voice, and met those gloomy bottomless eyes.

"Cousin..." Sangsang called softly.

"How come I didn't know your dyeing skills were so superb?"

He walked forward step by step, with a sense of oppression covering his body, until he stood in front of Sangsang and locked his eyes on her.

Sangsang stood there unable to move as if he was imprisoned.

Sure enough, Wei Cheng came to investigate.

"I never thought that so many people would like it." Sangsang lowered his head and answered in a low voice.

The next second, the bony hand pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"How much else do you have that I don't know?"

The corners of his evil lips twitched slightly, and he was obviously smiling, but the smile did not hit her eyes. She only felt that the deep pool-like eyes were very scary, causing a shiver down her back.

Sangsang's clear eyes were full of panic, but she pretended to be calm and said, "I have nothing else to hide from you."

Her stubborn eyes were without a trace of impurity as she spoke word by word.

Meeting those eyes, Wei Cheng's eyes became even more sinister, his face darkened, and he let go of his hand forcefully.

Sangsang's face turned to one side, a stubborn profile, neither humble nor arrogant.

"I advise you not to have any evil intentions."

His voice was extremely cold, like a judge in the underworld, filling her eardrums and making her feel uncomfortable all over.

Sangsang said softly: "I don't know what my cousin is talking about."

"That's the best."

As soon as she finished speaking, the gentleman's hair looked at the expression on her face.

Sangsang's expression remained unchanged and she stood there quietly, as calm as if she didn't care about the world.

After a long time, those cold eyes looked away.Not long after, the sound of leaving footsteps was heard.

The footsteps walked away little by little, and Sangsang breathed a sigh of relief.

Sequoia on the side immediately rushed forward to help her. Sangsang felt weak and had no strength at all, so Sequoia helped him sit on the bench in front of the hall.

"Miss Cousin, are you okay?" Sequoia was very worried, with a look of concern on her face.

Sangsang shook his head, and a wry smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She didn't know when such days would end. Every time she faced Wei Cheng, she felt timid. She would try her best to leave this place and escape from Wei Cheng's shackles!
The sun sets over the west mountain, the mist is thick, and the blue sky is smudged by burning clouds. After a while, I see the setting sun like blood, reflecting the earth red.

The imprint made Sangsang's pale and bloodless face have a hint of blush.

She raised her eyes dully, staring at the horizon without blinking. She didn't know what she was looking at. Maybe it was freedom, or maybe it was something else?
"Miss Cousin! Miss Cousin!" Sequoia was worried about Sangsang's physical condition, so he called several times.

Hearing the sound, Sangsang came back to his senses and turned around to look blankly.

"I'm fine, you go."

What we have to do now is very simple, that is, make money quickly.

If you don't have money, you won't be able to move forward.

And this matter must be carried out secretly. Once Wei Cheng discovers it, the consequences will be disastrous.

Her face was heavy, and Sequoia comforted her softly: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

After speaking, he got up and left.

Sangsang slowly stood up and sat on the threshold.

Maybe he was too tired, leaning against the door frame, and soon fell asleep.

She seemed to have had a dream, a long dream.

In the dream, someone was holding her and whispering something. She wanted to hear it clearly, but she couldn't.

When he woke up, he was faced with a pair of worried eyes.

It's a redwood.

Sangsang sat up, holding her aching head, and looked around, only to realize that she had been sleeping on the bed for some time.

"Sequoia, you helped me in?"

Sequoia shook his head.

"When I came back, you were on the bed. I guess it was the young master who came."

Sangsang was shocked, and there was no trace of blood on his pale face.

She actually fell asleep!I really have no sense of crisis at all, and I don’t know if I talked nonsense in my sleep.

If Wei Cheng listens to it...

Thinking of this, he quickly called Luzhi and asked if he talked in his sleep while sleeping.

Green Branch shook her head.

"You were asleep all the time and didn't say anything. The young master sat for a while and then left without doing anything."

After hearing what she said, Sangsang breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn’t say much.

"By the way, how's the drawing going?" Sangsang's most important thing now is the drawing.

If the sales from the landlady's side are fast, she can send a few more pairs there. They are mutually beneficial. As long as she saves more money, she can leave here as soon as possible.

"The boss lady said that the drawings you drew are all in the most fashionable styles at the moment. She asked you to prepare a few more for her. Some dignitaries have started to make reservations. Maybe you can make a lot of money!"

Upon hearing this, Sangsang's face lit up with joy, she got off the bed and said happily: "Really? That's really great!"

As long as you can be favored by dignitaries, you will definitely make money quickly!
"Sequoia, get some paper and pen quickly! I want to draw a few more pictures!"
