Embroidered golden branches

Chapter 4 She stole it

Sang Sang vaguely remembered that Wei Cheng's life experience was unusual, but she couldn't remember much more. She could only suppress her doubts and sit in her seat honestly.Fortunately, after Mr. Jiang left, the atmosphere became lively again. After all, the old lady was old and not as energetic as the juniors. She yawned a few times after a while.

Wei Lingyin didn't notice, and pulled Wei Cheng's sleeve to act coquettishly: "Brother, have you brought back the candied haws I asked you to bring back from outside today?"

Although his sleeves were pulled, Wei Cheng did not move. His voice was very gentle, as if he was a good brother who really cared about his sister: "Of course you will not forget what you specifically told me."

Then he signaled the boy waiting outside the door to come in with a paper bag. He opened it and saw exactly three candied haws. Wei Lingyin snorted and said with a bit of coquettishness: "Why did you bring so much back? Mother said candies I have a toothache after eating too much. If she finds out, she will definitely accuse me again."

It was as if these three candied haws were all his own.

"I only brought one for you," Wei Cheng seemed to have guessed her thoughts and smiled gently, "The other two are for Ling Yi and Ling Zhi."

Wei Lingyin's face immediately fell when she heard that she wanted to share it with the other two people, but she couldn't show it in front of the old lady. It seemed that she was stingy, so she could only watch the candied haws being divided between the two.Wei Lingzhi took the candied haws, waved it at her proudly, and mouthed: I have some too.

Wei Lingyin looked at her arrogance and wanted to rush up and tear her face apart, throw the candied haws on the ground and step on her twice.

The boy was holding a paper bag with only one candied haws left, and happened to walk up to Sang Sang. Sang Sang also knew that this situation of four and one missing was very embarrassing. Besides, she was not very interested in the candied haws. Heart, pretend you didn't notice this.

When Wei Lingyi saw that the remaining candied haws had to be given to Sangsang, she was furious. She rushed forward and grabbed the paper bag, lowering her voice: "This is mine!"

Sangsang couldn't help but laugh. She didn't really want this candied haws. Besides, it was just a candied haws. She could eat as much as she wanted before she put on the book. Although she couldn't buy it now, the boy was He was in a dilemma, seeing that his things had been taken away, leaving only one cousin with empty hands, she looked at Wei Cheng as if asking for help.

"What a coincidence. I didn't know my cousin would come today and I bought less things. Why don't I go out tomorrow and buy some to make amends to my cousin."

Wei Chengzuo has one cousin after another, acting like a big brother who cares about his sister.

No one expected that Miss Cousin would come back today, let alone that Master Wei had bought a candied haws.

"I'm tired today too, so please retreat first."

Naturally, no one dared to disobey the old lady's words. Several girls stood up and left the table. Their respective servants stepped forward and went out one after another.

Only a single figure.

Sang Sang walked out, but she was in trouble. Mrs. Jiang left the party early, perhaps forgetting to arrange a place for her.

Where should she go now?
A chuckle came to my ears, followed by a soft voice, "Cousin, come with me."

Wei Cheng, who was following closely behind him, sounded as gentle as jade. If it hadn't been for the previous scene, he might have made people feel more favorable to him.

This cousin called her close, but Sangsang trembled in panic.

Before he could answer, he had already raised his foot to lead the way. Apparently he could no longer refuse. He climbed down the steps and walked along the stone road for dozens of miles. He was silent all the way, with only the chirping of insects in his ears.

Sang Sang looked at Wei Cheng from behind. He had a handsome figure, a straight back, and was full of righteousness. There was no trace of paranoia or cruelty at all.

It's unbelievable!

Sangsang sighed secretly in his heart, and finally slowed down his steps, unconsciously wanting to stay away from him. The next second, Wei Cheng broke the silence, "What? My cousin is afraid of me?"

Without answering, he turned back, looking down from a high position, his slightly narrowed eyes reflected her figure, and there was a coldness all over him.

Terrified, Sangsang pretended to be calm and was about to explain, but unexpectedly, he asked again, "Have you seen everything today?"

There was a half-hearted smile on his lips.

This...how should I answer this?Is he testing this?Did you see him trample the bird to death?
Sangsang calmed down and smiled, "Don't worry about it, cousin. In fact, I don't like candied haws."

She lowered her head slightly.

Wei Cheng stared at it for a few seconds with uncertain eyes, then pointed to the side room behind the stone arch door and said: "Get some rest early."

After Sangsang entered the side room, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She relaxed and collected her thoughts.

Now that she has entered the Wei family, she must be careful. She cannot offend anyone in the family, and she cannot offend Wei Cheng!
If she finds an opportunity to escape in the future, the Wei family will already have doubts about her identity. If she suddenly disappears, it probably won't cause any trouble.

Thinking like this, she felt a little at ease and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The wind picked up slightly, the treetops rippled, and the clouds rolled in and out. As the night fell, a dark shadow appeared between the windows. Its sharp eyes stared at the person on the bed. After a moment, it flew away with the wind.

Just for a moment, he closed and opened his eyes, and it was already dawn. As soon as Sangsang got up from the bed, there was already a sound from outside.

"I think she stole it!"

"As soon as she arrived, my things disappeared. How could it be such a coincidence?"

What happened?
Sangsang, who had just arrived in a new environment, did not dare to neglect, stood up hurriedly, went to the door and looked out. There was a big battle outside, led by the Jiang family, and flanked by Wei Lingzhi and others.

It's really strange. Sangsang frowned. Logically speaking, she should be the junior to go to Jiang's place to say hello. Why is it that Jiang brought people to her place now?Jiang didn't like to be in trouble, so he wouldn't come to trouble her so early in the morning.

Mrs. Jiang nodded, and the nanny next to her stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times, "Ms. Cousin, if I have something to ask, please open the door."

Sang Sang opened the door and greeted her elders as she did yesterday. When she raised her eyes, she saw that Wei Lingzhi, who didn't like her at all, had red eyes, slightly swollen, and full of murderous intent.

Others were just watching a show.

The one who attracted the most attention was Wei Cheng, who was obviously smiling. His eyes were clearly not on Sangsang, but he was smiling with a leer, which made people's hair stand on end.

"Sang Sang, did you go to Lingzhi's side room last night?"

Jiang asked calmly, looking like this without any guilt.

"No." Sangsang replied calmly.

Wei Lingzhi, who was usually doted on, could no longer control his temper. He stepped forward with anger, as if he recognized Sangsang, "No need to defend! You must have stolen my pearl, and that was Brother Cheng." It was given to me, but if you didn’t get the candied haws on you yesterday, you must have had evil thoughts in your heart!”

Such a big hat was quickly placed on Sangsang's head.

As an outsider, something was stolen just one day after arriving. Who can't think too much about it?

Although Mrs. Jiang doesn't like to make things difficult for others, she still maintains the authority of the mistress of the family. She has a calm face, but she is never on Sang Sang's side, let alone Wei Cheng who seems to be kind...

She had thought that the road to the Wei Mansion would be difficult, but she never imagined that a crisis would arise so quickly.

Her eyes darkened slightly.

He moved a few steps and said in a deep voice: "Sang Sang is very grateful to be able to come to the Wei Mansion. I dare not do anything inappropriate. If there is any suspicion, I am willing to search myself to prove my innocence."

Now that she has been assigned the status of a cousin, if a body search is really carried out, it will only make people laugh if word gets out. She will be searched when she comes to the Wei Mansion. Wouldn't it appear that the people in the Wei Mansion are narrow-minded.

"Okay!" Wei Lingzhi didn't expect it to be so powerful and hurriedly asked someone to come forward.

Jiang's face was not very pretty, and she frowned, "Girl in the boudoir, how can you search your body at will?"

"I have an idea." Wei Cheng walked up from the side, the smile on his face became brighter, the sun was shining brightly as he looked at it.

As soon as he spoke, Jiang's face suddenly stiffened for a moment, but she did not speak to stop him and allowed Wei Cheng to continue speaking.

"I have kept a bird all year round, and I like these kind of pearls the most. How about letting the bird look for them?"

Isn't this... nonsense?

Sang Sang carefully observed Wei Cheng's expression. It was hard for her to believe that he could even raise birds. Sang Sang seriously doubted whether she had an extra memory.

While he was stunned, Wei Cheng stepped forward, leaned down, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, cousin. If you stole it, you stole it. If you didn't steal it, you didn't steal it."

"My cousin will definitely make the decision for you."

The word "make the decision" was spoken so hard that it made people's scalp numb and Sang Sang secretly broke into a cold sweat. She knew best that the guy in front of her was kind on the surface, but behind his back...

She smiled An Ran and pretended to be calm, "Then my cousin must make the decision for me."

Although Sang Sang is not stunning, she has a beautiful face, slightly narrowed eyes, a light smile, and a calm and calm attitude that makes people look at her.

Wei Cheng was startled for a moment. He took out a bird for a moment, raised his hand, and the bird flapped its wings. It fell to the ground for a moment, then flew into the house for a moment, and then left without stopping. After a while, it picked it up from nowhere. The pearl fell on Wei Cheng's shoulder just now.

This time, Sang Sang's charges were cleared at once.

His eyes flashed slightly and he looked back at Sangsang, clearly suspicious.

Sang Sang was also a little puzzled. Wei Cheng clearly wanted to convict her, but this bird was so miraculous that it actually carried the pearl back alive.

Jiang's face became a little kinder, and she stepped forward to take Sang Sang's hand and comforted her softly, "I have wronged you this time."

Sangsang just shook his head.

Wei Lingzhi muttered from the side, "If it were really you, you would be more beautiful."

Jiang rolled his eyes, and she quickly shut up. The farce was over, and Sangsang returned to the room. As soon as he sat down, he pulled out a bright pearl from underneath.

Her eyes were fixed on the pearl.
