“Did you study embroidery?” Song Ning asked, shocked.
Zhuang Ning nodded. “I studied it for two years with my mother. She embroidered to support the family and wanted me to learn the skill. Later, when she saw that I was doing well academically, she stopped asking me to learn embroidery.”
!!
Song Ning held Zhuang Ning’s hand that was stroking the embroidery manual before she said, “No, it’s not possible for you to understand the embroidery manual just because you know how to embroider. Even if I show this manual to the people in Zhuang Ji, they won’t be able to understand the technique and needlework in the manual. Needlework is something unique to an embroiderer; everyone has a unique way of expression. Even experts might not be able to see through it. Zhuang Ning, I think your mother might have been a successor of Zhuang Ji’s embroidery technique.”
Zhuang Ning’s expression turned gloomy as she said, “It’s a pity that she passed away. I left home when I was young and didn’t spend much time with my family. I only remember that my parents didn’t have a good relationship. My mother had always been depressed. She thought that once my finances improved, she would be able to retire once I brought her away. It’s a pity I didn’t live up to her expectations. Not only did I fail to make her happy, but I also made her suffer along with me.”
Zhuang Ning reached up to wipe her tears away before she said again, “Song Ning, none of this is important. The most important thing now is to figure out if this embroidery manual is real. If it’s real, how did it end up in Grandma Cheng’s hands? Moreover, she gave it to me just like that. Isn’t this a very precious thing?”
Zhuang Ning was puzzled.
Song Ning did not have the answers to all the questions as well. She had never been able to understand the embroidery manual and had always been puzzled why Ning Zhe and the Fu family coveted it so badly.
At this moment, Cheng Che said, “We won’t be able to guess the answer. Why don’t we just ask my grandmother directly?”
Cheng Che did not wait and called Cheng Yi immediately to ask for an explanation.
Cheng Yu was not surprised. Shockingly, she said, “This embroidery manual is real.”
Song Ning was shocked. “Grandma Cheng, how did it come into your possession? My mother left me a Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual as well. The content in yours is slightly different, but it has my grandmother’s seal. If you don’t mind, I’d like to ask if you know my grandparents, my mother, and Zhuang Ning’s mother. There are many things we don’t know so I hope to be able to obtain the answers from you.”
Cheng Yi stayed silent for a moment before she said with a chuckle, “Little girl, these things aren’t important anymore. All of them are no longer in the world. Many things in the past weren’t all a coincidence. However, all that matters now is that you’re alive and well.”
“Zhuang Ning and you indeed have a connection in the past, but with or without the past connection, you’re still as close as sisters anyway. The matters of the previous generation and their deaths, whatever hatred or love they had, are all a thing of the past, and the past is where they belong. As for your generation, you should all just live well and be happy. That’s all that matters. Do you understand? As for Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual, there’s an upper and lower volume. There’s no need for you to think about these useless things.”
Then, Cheng Yi changed the topic and said, “Now, the two brats from the Yin family are seriously ill. Qin Shuang and the others are extremely anxious. Yin De will definitely speak to Cheng Che again. Cheng Che, you’re not so kind that you’ll agree to save their lives, right?”
Cheng Che remained silent.
Cheng Yi sighed. “Let me tell you the truth. Even if you really donate your kidney and bone marrow to them, you still won’t be able to save them. Their illnesses aren’t natural; they’re man-made. This is their retribution. Don’t be so foolish as to risk your life to save them. This matter has nothing to do with you. If you want to watch the show, then stand aside and watch the show. Otherwise, you should return to M City and live your life as usual. After this matter is over, I’ll naturally return Zhuang Ning to all of you. When the time comes, I’ll slowly explain everything to you.”
