Jiahui did not speak anymore. She, along with the others, knew about Zhuang Ning’s past sufferings.
Mu Chen frowned as he slowly said, “This Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual is almost as good as the real one. Grandma Cheng is really meticulous. However, how does she know what the real embroidery manual is like? Did Grandma tell her about it? However, Grandma couldn’t have described it in such detail, right?”
!!
Song Ning shook her head. “Grandma couldn’t have told her about it. If that was the case, Grandma would’ve told us about it. Grandma has already agreed to donate it to the country so she wouldn’t have let Grandma Cheng use it as bait. It’s not her way of doing things. However, like you said, this fake embroidery manual is too real. You almost can’t tell the difference.”
The other nodded, agreeing with Song Ning.
Zhuang Ning frowned. “I feel that Grandma Cheng knows everything. It’s like she’s been watching everyone from God’s point of view since the beginning. Everyone and everything on each side seem to be within her calculations. I don’t think Grandma Jiang told her about this as well.”
“Grandma Cheng Yi initially wanted me to tell Ye Cheng about the powerful secrets of the embroidery manual, but there’s no need since all of us know how long Ye Cheng has dreamed of possessing the manual.”
Everyone instinctively looked at the manual on the table.
“Since the original has been given to the country, this is undoubtedly fake. However, it’s really exquisite. Ye Cheng didn’t doubt it at all,” Zhuang Ning said.
Song Ning picked it up and flipped through it. She pointed at a small red seal and said with a hint of surprise, “This fake is really too real. Even my grandmother’s seal is on it.”
Everyone gathered around to take a look.
Mu Chen sighed. “Cheng Che’s grandmother is really too meticulous. If we weren’t aware, we wouldn’t be able to tell it’s a fake as well.”
Song Ning looked at the content of the embroidery manual carefully. Her expression grew more and more solemn before she raised her head to look at everyone and said, “Is it possible that this embroidery manual is real?”
Zhuang Ning was taken aback. “Impossible! Hasn’t it already been handed to the country? Moreover, if it’s real, why would Grandma Cheng hand it over to me so easily? How could she be sure that Ye Cheng would not take it for himself?”
Song Ning sighed lightly. “If I gave this embroidery manual to Mu Chen, he wouldn’t think it’s fake either. He would casually flip through it and put it down since he wouldn’t be able to understand it. He would let the professional look at it later. It’s such a precious thing so he wouldn’t take it away from me either and would leave it with me for safekeeping. It’s a show of trust and respect for me. Right, Mu Chen?”
Mu Chen nodded. “Of course.”
Zhuang Ning’s expression changed. She understood Song Ning’s meaning.
Song Ning said with a sigh, “With my limited knowledge, I can’t understand the embroidery manual. Even if I gave it to Sister An Ran, it’d still be useless. It’s a pity my skills are too low, and I don’t understand embroidery. Although I know the basics of embroidery, it’d still be difficult for me to embroider according to the manual. I have never understood the value of the real embroidery manual. My skills are truly too low. It’s truly a pity that there’s no successor for Zhuang Ji’s embroidery technique. My mother didn’t have the time to accept a disciple.”
Song Ning sighed again as her fingers brushed the page of the embroidery manual. “It’s all my fault for not learning from my mother. My mother and my grandmother must feel regretful as well…”
Zhuang Ning carefully picked up the fake embroidery manual and said, “But… I’m able to understand the manual. I even tried to embroider according to the manual. I wondered why everyone was making a fuss over such a simple thing. I thought perhaps it was a gimmick. Otherwise, wouldn’t everyone be able to open an embroidery shop? What advantage would Zhuang Ji have at that time? Later on, I assumed that Zhuang Ji was famous only due to its unique designs, not its embroidery technique. I even thought that I should find the time to discuss this with you.”
Upon hearing these words, Song Ning was stunned.
