Embroidered golden branches

Chapter 37 The Uninvited Guest

Sang Sang was sick for half a month, almost all the time lying on the bed, her whole body was sore and weak, and she would occasionally have fever.

During this period, the redwoods and green branches have been taking care of it.

The yard was already deserted, and the autumn wind was bleak, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground, curling them up, and then falling to the ground again.

Sangsang lay bored on the window, looking outside, not knowing what he was looking at, and his thoughts seemed to fly away.

dong dong dong-

There were footsteps outside the door, and not long after, Lu Zhi ran to her side panting.

"Miss! It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the house is very lively now. There are lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere. I also saw many beautiful lanterns."

Yesterday, when Sangsang was sleeping lightly, she heard the crackling of firecrackers outside. She thought it must be some kind of festival, but unexpectedly, it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Seeing how excited Lvzhi was, Sangsang said with a smile: "Then you go out and buy some lanterns, so that we can also enjoy the joy of the festival."

"But..." Luzhi was worried about Sangsang's health.

"I'm ready. Go quickly and give this sketch to the landlady." Sangsang took out the sketch that he had already prepared from the couch and handed it to her.

Luzhi took the drawing and went out happily. He came back not long after, but he was still crying.

Sangsang asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"

Luzhi shook his head and said nothing.

Only then did Sangsang notice that there were actually red palm prints on Lu Zhi's face.

Was this beaten?

"What happened? Who hit you?" Sang Sang stood up from the couch and carefully looked at the injuries on Lu Zhi's face.

The person who did it was very hard. At this moment, her fair face was already red and swollen, but the prints of her palms became increasingly clear.

"I was reckless and accidentally bumped into that lady..."

Luzhi took the initiative to admit his mistake, his eyes were red, but he quickly lowered his head, fearing that Sangsang would see his grievance.

As soon as she was about to go out, she saw Wei Lingyin from a distance. She wanted to take a detour, but she didn't expect Wei Lingyin, but she ran straight into him.

She was knocked to the ground, but Wei Lingyin beat her up, saying that she did it on purpose. Although Luzhi felt wronged, she was just a servant in the end, she could only be manipulated by others.

Sangsang sighed softly, hating himself for being incompetent. Although he wanted to take revenge, that woman had a sharp tongue and was quite favored by Wei Cheng.

If she acted rashly, she would inevitably be criticized by others, and she might even be taught a lesson by Wei Cheng.

Thinking of this, she looked at the green branches distressedly and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Luzhi shook his head desperately, "It doesn't hurt. I'll be careful next time I go out."

Seeing how sensible she was, Sangsang felt even more sad.

Since Luzhi and Sequoia followed her, it seemed like they had never had a good day. In addition to being frightened and frightened every day, they ate chaffy vegetables. Which maid in this yard had a better life than the two of them?
She had thought of a way out and planned to leave such a place of right and wrong after making enough money, but where were the green branches and the redwoods?

Sangsang couldn't help but worry about the situation of the two of them.

Thinking of this, Sang Sang asked Lu Zhi to call Hong Shi.

She walked over and closed the door, and asked in a low voice: "Are you two willing to stay here?"

The two of them looked at each other, wondering why Sangsang asked this?
Sangsang said seriously: "I want to leave and want to hear your opinions."

"Where are you going, Miss? Both of us are going with you!" The two of them said this almost in unison.

Sangsang looked at them movedly and lowered his voice: "What we have to do now is to prepare for the attack. During this period, we are likely to suffer all kinds of grievances. I can't help you, will you still be willing to follow me? If not I wish..." Before Sangsang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by two people.

"We are willing to follow Miss!" They both said in unison.

Sangsang was very moved, took their hands and comforted them in a low voice.

"The three of us depend on each other. If you two have been wronged in any way, come back and tell me. Before leaving, I will secretly avenge you."

If you can't be tough on the surface, you can only do it secretly.

After comforting the two of them, Luzhi hurried out of the door with the drawing. Sequoia was guarding the door. Maybe he was too tired recently and had been dozing off.

Sangsang couldn't bear to see her like this, so he asked her to go to sleep.

After finally convincing Hong Shi to go to bed, an uninvited guest came to the yard.

A woman and several maids quickly entered the courtyard, making quite a noise.

Sang Sang glanced outside through the window. After seeing a few people, she had no intention of asking more questions, but the woman saw Sang Sang and waved to her.

"Miss Cousin, come here."

Hearing the voice of the command, Sangsang felt disgusted in his heart, but his face remained calm. He just lay quietly on the window and did not take any action.

"Miss Cousin, I'm calling you!" Mrs. Li thought her voice was too soft and Sangsang didn't hear her, so she raised her voice again.

Sangsang looked dull, as if he didn't hear her, and ignored her.

"Miss Cousin! Miss Cousin, I'm calling you!" Mrs. Li lost her patience and walked towards Sangsang. She stood outside the window and shouted loudly inside.

Sangsang hooked her ears with her little finger and looked at her with an impatient frown.

"I'm not deaf yet, what are you doing?"

"Then I just called Miss Cousin over, why did you act like you didn't hear me? Did you do it on purpose?"

Mrs. Li looked angry.

Sangsang's frown deepened and he looked at her incomprehensively.

"What did you call me?"

"Miss Cousin?" A trace of doubt flashed across Mrs. Li's face. She heard that Sang Sang was sick. Could it be that Sang Sang has been so sick these days?

"You called me cousin, but you asked me to come to you. Those who didn't know thought you were my cousin."

Her voice was calm and the expression on her face was calm, but Mrs. Li had nothing to say.

Mrs. Li's face was ugly, she curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and a flash of disdain flashed in her eyes.

"On weekdays, I see Miss Cousin being well-behaved and sensible, but I didn't expect that she would be so eccentric in my own yard? Those who don't know better would think that Miss Cousin's usual behavior is all just an act."

Mrs. Li is also sharp-tongued and unforgiving in her words.

Sangsang sneered: "What does my behavior have to do with a servant like you? Are you trying to teach me a lesson?"

"I am a servant, but I am also a servant to the old lady. I cannot be manipulated by others. Cousin, don't pretend to be your lady in front of me! I am not afraid."

It was obvious that Mrs. Li looked down upon her with contempt.

She said she was the one in front of the old lady, so what did she plan to do in his yard?
"The old lady lets you go!"
