Chapter 517: Mysterious Young Lady No. 510 (Part 5) - Additional Update

Hearing that voice filled with complex tones.

Ye Shaohua couldn’t help but raise her eyes, and unsurprisingly saw Ye Qingqing and Meng Yanqiu.

"Are you also here to show your embroidery to Governor Liu?" When Meng Yanqiu saw the woman following Ye Shaohua holding a piece of cloth, he guessed Ye Shaohua’s purpose and couldn’t help but flash a sneer on his face.

He was well aware of Ye Shaohua’s talents.

In her past life, she had hardly any talent at all. If it weren’t for Ye Qingqing’s help, she couldn’t even embroider a butterfly.

Now, she even dared to show her own embroidery to Governor Liu.

Ye Shaohua glanced at him, playing with an embroidery needle in one hand without uttering a word.

Ye Qingqing, who was queuing by her side and holding her precious embroidered work, turned her head upon hearing Meng Yanqiu’s words, evidently surprised to see Ye Shaohua here.

Those who came here were famous embroiderers from Jiangling, and she didn’t understand why Ye Shaohua would come back to this place.

However, as she looked at Ye Shaohua’s stunningly beautiful face, a shadow of dark color flashed through her eyes.

Ye Shaohua felt Ye Qingqing’s somewhat chill gaze and squinted her eyes towards her.

Even after leaving the Ye Residence, her expression was much more aloof and dignified than Ye Qingqing’s. The slanting glance was almost unbearable to look at. The servant beside them caught a glimpse and immediately blushed and lowered his head with a racing heart.

Meng Yanqiu, remembering what Ye Shaohua had done to Ye Qingqing in the last life, immediately stood in front of Ye Qingqing.

He watched Ye Shaohua warily, "What do you want to do?"

After speaking, he then whispered to Ye Qingqing, "You go with the maids to find Lady Liu. I’ll handle this side."

His voice when talking to Ye Qingqing was much gentler than when speaking to Ye Shaohua, without the earlier disgust.

Ye Shaohua could hear it, and so could Ye Qingqing. She lowered her head, curling her lips into a smile, "Mm, but... don’t bully sister. I’ll be right back."

Just at this time, a guard from Governor Liu’s household made his way out of the crowd. Seeing Ye Qingqing, he couldn’t help but smile, "Excuse me, are you Lady Qingqing? Our madam was just saying how you hadn’t arrived yet."

This guard was quite indifferent to the other embroiderers, but towards Ye Qingqing, he was much more respectful.

Obviously, Ye Qingqing held a high position in Madam Liu’s heart.

Which also represented her status among Jiangling’s embroiderers.

The embroiderers queuing nearby looked at Ye Qingqing with eyes full of faint jealousy and envy.

Ye Qingqing greatly enjoyed such gazes.

Under everyone’s eyes, she walked towards Lady Liu, who was sitting in the courtyard examining the embroidery.

Ye Shaohua also couldn’t help looking towards Ye Qingqing quietly.

Noticing Ye Shaohua’s gaze, Meng Yanqiu’s vigilance reached its peak, "Ye Shaohua, what are you plotting? Qingqing’s getting noticed by Lady Liu is her own good fortune, and also due to her superb embroidery skills. If anyone’s to be blamed, it’s that your mother didn’t give birth to you as clever as her! I warn you, it’s best not to have any schemes. Whoever Lady Liu appreciates for their embroidery skill is due to their own ability. Your expulsion from the Ye Family is completely because your skills were inferior; don’t blame others for being excellent! Otherwise, don’t blame me..."

Zu Xiao’s mouth twitched.

Ye Shaohua narrowed her eyes when she heard Meng Yanqiu’s words.

Tsk, does he think she was chased out of the Ye Family due to resentment towards Ye Qingqing, and that she had come here unwilling to accept it? Or perhaps he believed she harbored intentions of harming Ye Qingqing? What made Meng Yanqiu think so?

Ye Shaohua scoffed inwardly. If only they had been so righteous when they framed the original host in their previous life.

But she was not the original host, not that foolish, nor that easy to bully. She paid no heed to Meng Yanqiu’s so-called warning.

She merely turned to look at Meng Yanqiu slowly, smiled, and said, "Indeed, if one’s skills are lacking, one should not blame others for being excellent. Whoever Lady Liu takes a liking to for their embroidery is due to their own merit. I warn you, if you play any tricks, heh..."

Having said that, she took a step back.

The mocking smile with its chilling undertone completely disappeared from her lips.

If Meng Yanqiu hadn’t felt the goosebumps on his hand, he would have certainly thought it was just an illusion; but...

Touching the goosebumps on his hand and looking at Ye Shaohua, his heart sounded the alarm, and even his pupils widened in shock.

Wait a second... Was the person who just spoke Ye Shaohua? What did she mean by that?

Could it be that she has been reborn as well?

Meng Yanqiu found it hard to discern for a moment, and he couldn’t help but look at Ye Shaohua. Her face was devoid of any expression. No, if she had been reborn, she wouldn’t have been driven out of the Ye Family, given her embroidery skills before her rebirth. Though not as good as Ye Qingqing’s, they weren’t so lacking that she would be expelled from the Ye Residence.

She definitely wasn’t reborn.

So...

Everything just now must have been an illusion, Meng Yanqiu thought as he gradually composed himself. He didn’t believe that the woman from his past life, who only knew how to feign pity but was actually incredibly foolish, would have the ability to threaten him.

It must have been an illusion.

As he pondered, Meng Yanqiu slowly returned to his thoughts.

Since he had been reminded, he no longer paid attention to Ye Shaohua, instead turning his gaze to Ye Qingqing.

Zu Xiao didn’t know about Ye Shaohua’s past, he only knew she was a Ye. Hearing Meng Yanqiu’s words, he couldn’t help but speak in a low voice, "Lady, shall we deal with him?"

Ye Shaohua: "...Zu Xiao, violence isn’t good."

"He was disrespectful to the Lady," Zu Xiao said, looking down.

Ye Shaohua: "...How hard it must be for him to be so foolish, why would you still want to hurt him?"

Zu Xiao was taken aback: "Right."

As they spoke, over on the other side, Ye Qingqing had already displayed her embroidery to everyone.

Today, many people had come to the courtyard of Governor Liu’s residence.

They had seen many pieces of embroidery before, but upon seeing Ye Qingqing’s work, these people couldn’t help but express their endless admiration.

"There had been rumors that Lady Ye’s embroidery skills were ranked among the top three in Jiangling, and I thought it was an exaggeration, but seeing is believing. Your skills are truly unparalleled. Look at this ’Butterflies Through Flowers’ fabric, you can tell at a glance that at least thirty kinds of stitches have been used, fine and close, and what’s rare is that each butterfly has its own look, unlike those on other butterfly embroidered fabrics, which are nearly identical. Not only in embroidery, but Lady Ye must also be very accomplished in rouge painting. I am thoroughly impressed," said a very famous embroiderer from Jiangling.

She was much older than Ye Qingqing.

Now the mother of two children, seeing Ye Qingqing’s embroidered fabric and then looking at Ye Qingqing’s age, it was natural for her to concede.

Especially since Ye Qingqing’s embroidery was indeed exquisite.

As everyone looked, they felt as if the butterflies might fly out of the flowers at any moment.

Such embroidery skills were rare even in the Imperial City, let alone Jiangling.

After the embroiderer finished speaking, others were equally entranced by the fabric, feeling it did not belong on mere cloth but seemed more akin to a painting.

Meng Yanqiu looked at the embroidered fabric, and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips.

He knew that Ye Qingqing was bound to succeed.

Governor Liu’s wife was not from Jiangling; she was born to a prominent family in the Imperial City and had seen many embroiderers there, especially since she had received a batch of imperial fabrics as a gift from the palace.

She naturally knew that this level of skill was not to be taken lightly even in the palace.

The Empress Dowager was fond of such exquisite items, and if it succeeded, rewards were inevitable.

With this thought, her gaze towards Ye Qingqing became even more amiable, "Then, we shall choose Lady Qingqing’s fabric for this occasion. I presume nobody objects?"

The embroiderers wouldn’t dare object; they all immediately shook their heads.

Ye Shaohua sighed softly, looking at her hands.

After living through so many worlds, she had only ever handled two types of needles, one was a golden needle for healing, the other a silver needle for killing.

Yet she had never imagined that one day she would have to pick up an embroidery needle.

And now, on top of it all, she still had to compete with these people for the top spot in embroidery.

She was still determined to fulfill the original host’s wishes. As she thought about this, she lazily spoke up, "Wait, Madam Liu, why don’t you take a look at my embroidery first before coming to a conclusion?"
