Chapter 24: Chapter 24 A Night of Dew... Affection

The moment those words were uttered, An Baoying’s face turned a shade paler.

Her voice trembled, "Did... did I do something wrong to displease you?"

If she tried on the wedding dress without a man accompanying her, wouldn’t she be laughed at by all the socialites all over Jincheng? They would surely mock her, saying that she was only able to secure this marriage by relying on Young Master Huo’s fleeting favor, and that she was not truly valued by the Huo Family at all.

But the man mercilessly declared, "I’m not available, nor am I interested. Either you try it on yourself, or don’t try at all. Don’t even think about marrying into the Huo Family in the future."

Huo Shaoyan tossed this statement, then turned and left. An Baoying was so angry that she trembled all over, nearly biting her lips to the point of bleeding.

At that moment, her mother, Bai Meilan, called in, "Baoying, where are you and Young Master Huo? Mom is already at the bridal shop..."

Hearing her mother’s voice, An Baoying’s nose tingled with bitterness. Forcing down her grievances, she said, "Mom, let’s talk when we meet."

Bai Meilan sensed something was off in her tone and immediately frowned, guessing, "Is it Boss Wu’s deal that didn’t go through? Did An Ge interfere and ruin your relationship with Young Master Huo? That brat really needs to be taught a lesson."

The driver in the car was Huo Shaoyan’s man, so An Baoying couldn’t openly accuse An Ge, and could only lower her voice, saying, "Mom, we’ll talk when we meet."

...

On the other end.

After Huo Shaoyan cut off the call, An Ge planned to head to the internet cafe to settle her monthly wages with her boss, then go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. However, just as she stepped out, Uncle Wang, the gardener, found her.

Uncle Wang, holding a severely damaged marriage robe, had a bruised face. Upon seeing her, he wept bitterly, "An Ge, I heard from the maids over at the West Garden that your needlework is especially good, and you can do double-sided embroidery. My wife made a marriage robe for our daughter by hand before she passed. Seeing the good weather today, I took it out to sun, but then it was torn by the mastiff let loose by the Second Master. Not only did the Second Master refuse to compensate, but he also beat me. You must help me see if it can be salvaged. If not, how can I face my wife?"

During the month An Ge worked as a maid at the Huo Family, Uncle Wang treated her very well.

An Ge, while taking the marriage robe from Uncle Wang, reassured him, "Don’t worry, let me take a look."

Uncle Wang wiped his reddened eyes and nodded, "Girl, next month is my daughter’s wedding day. If you can help me mend it, it would be a huge help."

As An Ge carefully examined the damaged marriage robe, Uncle Wang lamented, "The Second Master previously forced my daughter to become his concubine, which she resisted with her life. That’s why he deliberately let the mastiff rip apart her marriage robe. Fortunately, the Second Madam is a reasonable woman. Upon hearing about this, she compensated me and even offered to repair it herself. But after seeing the extent of the damage, she gave up, saying it couldn’t be repaired. The Second Madam is the owner of the Xiu Fang Pavilion and the most trusted embroidery woman in the Jingcheng elite circles. If she can’t fix it, who else could have this skill? Alas, I’m just making a last-ditch effort by bringing it to you..."

While Uncle Wang spoke, An Ge had already thoroughly inspected the damaged marriage robe. She said, "Uncle Wang, I can mend it. I took a look, and this marriage robe uses Suzhou embroidery with a three-level double-sided technique, which originated from the Song Dynasty. It’s difficult, but it can be salvaged. I’ll write down the colorful threads and fabrics I need, you procure them for me, and give me half a day to fix it."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Wang was overjoyed, "Girl, you... you can really fix it? Even the Second Madam from Xiu Fang Pavilion couldn’t handle it. You mustn’t boast."

An Ge smiled slightly and said, "It will only enhance its original beauty, don’t worry."

Seeing An Ge’s confident demeanor, Uncle Wang thought since it was already so damaged, they might as well attempt the repair.

Half an hour later, Uncle Wang returned with the repair tools An Ge requested.

After lunch, An Ge secluded herself in her room and began to focus on the repair.

By evening, as the dusk set in, she had completed the repair.

Little did she know, her goodwill in helping out this time almost led Huo Shaoyan to tear her apart.
