Embroidered golden branches

Chapter 48: Thief

A shadow reflected above her head. Sangsang slowly raised his eyes and saw the two of them, a smile froze on his face.

Why are the two of them here?
When Wei Lingyin saw that it was Sang Sang who was there, he angrily tried to rush forward.

"Ling Yin!" Wei Cheng called her from the side and looked at her with a cold frown.

Wei Lingyin stood there unwillingly, folded her hands in front of her chest, and snorted coldly.

"We're just passing by, let's go first."

Wei Cheng said, winking at Wei Lingyin, and the two left together.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Sangsang was filled with worry.

Wei Lingyin is the best at sabotaging things. Now that she knows that she has come to the dyeing workshop, she might do something else.

Thinking of this, Sangsang decided to stay in the dyeing room tonight.

"What? Miss Cousin, if you are really worried, Luzhi and I will keep watch!" Sequoia said worriedly.

Sangsang's body was already weak, and she had worked hard all afternoon today, and her face looked a lot paler. If Sangsang stayed up all night, she might really collapse from exhaustion.

Sangsang shook his head: "I'm fine, but I'm really worried. Even if I go back, I can't fall asleep at all. Isn't there a place to rest here? I'll rest here tonight!"

Seeing that Sang Sang had made up his mind, the two of them had no choice but to take Sang Sang to a resting place nearby.

This is the place where workers in the dyeing room usually rest. It is messy and even has a smell.

Both Sequoia and Lvzhi were very disgusted, but they knew that once Sangsang decided something, it would not change, and they had no choice but to follow him obediently.

into the night.

When Sangsang saw Sequoia and Lvzhi sleeping lightly, she came to the yard worriedly.

The yard was quiet except for the rustling of the leaves in the wind.

Suddenly, a strange sound came, like the sound of tiptoeing.

Is someone coming?
Sang Sang's heart was raised in her throat. Although she guessed that Wei Lingyin would come to cause harm tonight, after actually hearing the sound, Sang Sang couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He held a wooden stick in his hand and looked toward the door without blinking.

But there was no movement over there, and the door was not broken open.

On the contrary, there was some movement on the wall nearby. If you listen carefully, you can hear some tiny footsteps.

Sure enough someone!

Sangsang waited with bated breath, took out the stick in her hand, and slowly leaned toward the wall.

She saw a dark figure from a distance, sneaking towards the dyeing room.

Without saying a word, Sangsang rushed forward, picked up the wooden stick in his hand, and smashed it at the black figure.

"Ah...ah..."

A painful wail sounded in his ears. This voice was all too familiar. Sang Sang recognized it as Wei Lingyin's.

She was finally caught!
Thinking of Wei Lingyin drugging her and destroying her flowers before, Sang Sang became angry and the strength in her hands gradually increased.

"you……"

Wei Lingyin was beaten so hard that she squatted on the ground with her head in her arms, unable to utter a complete sentence.

When Sangsang was tired from fighting, Wei Lingyin found an opportunity to escape over the wall.

Watching him stumble away, Sangsang patted the non-existent soil on his hands with satisfaction, feeling like a great revenge had been avenged.

When Sequoia and Lvzhi heard the noise coming from outside, they immediately woke up and rushed out.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the door, they saw Sangsang holding a wooden stick in his hand, standing under the moonlight with a faint smile on his face.The two of them looked at each other, a little confused.

"Miss Cousin, why are you awake? What are you doing here? Why are you still holding a wooden stick in your hand?"

The two of them really didn't understand, so they asked questions one after another.

Sangsang smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "It seemed like someone wanted to steal the cloth we dyed just now. I found out and beat him up!"

After speaking, he raised his chin proudly.

Hearing what Sangsang said, the two of them were shocked.

They were very worried about Sangsang. They looked her up and down, and after confirming that there were no external injuries on Sangsang's body, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where is that person?" The two looked around, only to find that the yard was quiet, and there was no one else except the three of them.

Sang Sang chuckled and said, "She is probably applying the golden medicine at the moment. After all, I am very heavy-handed. If it doesn't last ten days and a half, she probably won't be able to get out of bed."

Seeing Sang Sang's happy expression, the two of them did not continue to ask. After all, Sang Sang had been depressed recently and finally smiled, and they were also happy for Sang Sang.

Sangsang thought for a while and decided to make a big deal out of it. After all, she had hit Wei Lingyin. If Wei Lingyin bit back, things would be terrible.

Thinking of this, Sangsang told the two of them his countermeasures.

The two of them went to do it happily.

Not long after, I heard Sequoia and Lvzhi shouting.

"There are thieves, there are thieves!"

The clear voices of the two of them seemed particularly loud in the silent night.

Soon many people got up and caught the thief with them.

But as they searched and retrieved, there was still a sign of the thief?
The two of them told the servants about the matter in an acrimonious manner. The servants spread the news and the matter gradually became evil.

A whole night passed, and none of the servants slept. They all looked tired and their eyes were blue and purple.

The old lady couldn't help but frown when she saw everyone under her hands yawning.

"Why are you so sleepy?"

Hearing the old lady's question, Xiao Qiao, who was yawning, immediately replied: "Old lady, I heard that there was a thief in the dyeing room yesterday! It almost hurt my cousin. Fortunately, my cousin was smart and caught the thief. Beat him away!"

As he said this, a flash of admiration flashed in Xiao Qiao's eyes.

"Thief? What about the thief?" The old woman frowned even deeper.

"I didn't know that all the servants patrolled all night and still couldn't find the whereabouts of the thief!" Xiao Qiao also frowned in confusion.

The old lady pondered silently. She always felt that this matter was a bit strange, but she couldn't say what was strange about it.

Just as I was wondering, I heard someone report that it was Sangsang who came to say hello.

This matter is strange.

Sangsang never came here on weekdays, so why did she come suddenly today?

"Let her in." The old woman said lightly.

Not long after, I saw several maids bringing Sangsang, and Sangsang was followed by Sequoia and Green Branches, both of them holding a gift box in their hands.

Seeing the gift box, a flash of doubt flashed in the old lady's eyes.

"Sangsang, are you feeling well?" The old lady said some pleasantries first.

"Thank you, madam, for your concern. It's getting better now!"
