Oh.
She was just about to doze off when someone offered her a pillow.
After climbing in through the window, the person searched through all the jewelry in the black box on the dressing table, but couldn't find what she was looking for.
Undeterred, the man moved stealthily to Su Wanwan's bedside. He reached out and waved his hand across Su Wanwan's face, whispering, "Sixth Miss, Sixth Miss?"
Su Wanwan closed her eyes and did not respond.
The man felt relieved, bent down, and reached out to touch Su Wanwan's pillow.
Su Wanwan curled her lips into a smile, quickly grabbed the person's hand with one hand, and at the same time rolled onto the bed, pressing the other person face down on the bed.
The person who arrived was completely dumbfounded.
Wasn't she already asleep? Why did she suddenly wake up and I had to push her face down on the bed?
No, we can't let the Sixth Miss recognize who she is!
Otherwise, their young lady would definitely not let her off the hook.
Thinking of this, she struggled to get up, trying to find a chance to escape.
Su Wanwan used both her hands and feet to firmly hold the other person down, and said coldly, "Don't move! If you move again, I'll stab your face to pieces with scissors!"
After saying that, she held the scissors in her right hand and pressed them against the person's face.
A cold, metallic touch instantly struck his face, startling him so much that he froze in place.
Su Wanwan suddenly stretched out her leg and kicked over the small table next to the bed.
The loud crash was particularly noticeable in the quiet night, disturbing the tranquility of the night.
Hearing the commotion, Zisu and Zimu, who lived next door, rushed out of their room. Without knocking, they lit candles, pushed open the door, and came in.
"Miss, Miss, are you alright?"
The two walked into the inner room and were startled to see Su Wanwan pressing down on someone.
"What, what's going on?" Zisu asked nervously.
"Miss, let me help you!" Zi Mu was quite fierce, and he rushed over in one step to help Su Wanwan hold the person on the bed down.
"Huh, this person's clothes look like our manor's uniform," Zi Mu noticed the newcomer's clothes and paused for a moment.
"Oh, it really is!" Zisu noticed it too, and slowly approached with the candle in her hand.
The captured man was still making a dying struggle, burying his face in the blanket.
Zisu held a candle in one hand and used the other hand to dig the other person's face out from under the covers.
When the candlelight shone on each other's faces, the two maids were stunned.
"Taoxiang, it's you?"
"Yes, Taoxiang, what are you doing in our young lady's room so late at night instead of sleeping?"
When Tao Xiang was recognized, her face stiffened, and she began to stammer, "I, I..."
I talked for a long time, but I still couldn't come up with a clear answer.
Su Wanwan's face was as cold as ice as she sneered, "Hmph, what else could she be doing in my room in the middle of the night? Of course, she's here to steal things!"
"I...I didn't!"
"Nothing? You think you can just say it's nothing and then it's gone?" Su Wanwan snapped coldly. "Zisu, go check what's missing."
Zisu lit all the candles in the room before walking towards the dressing table.
The dressing table was in a mess, and the brass lock on the black wooden box that was used to store jewelry had been forcibly pried open.
Zisu opened the box and peered inside. She quickly scanned the inside of the wooden box, and her expression changed drastically.
“Miss, the Phoenix Sunrise Gold Hairpin is missing, along with the Golden Hairpin with Inlaid Kingfisher Feathers…” Zisu rattled off the names of more than ten pieces of jewelry in one breath.
