Jiahui did not speak anymore. She, along with the others, knew about Zhuang Nings past sufferings.

Mu Chen frowned as he slowly said, This Zhuang Jis 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 couldnt have described it in such detail, right?

!!

Song Ning shook her head. Grandma couldnt have told her about it. If that was the case, Grandma wouldve told us about it. Grandma has already agreed to donate it to the country so she wouldnt have let Grandma Cheng use it as bait. Its not her way of doing things. However, like you said, this fake embroidery manual is too real. You almost cant tell the difference.

The other nodded, agreeing with Song Ning.

Zhuang Ning frowned. I feel that Grandma Cheng knows everything. Its like shes been watching everyone from G.o.ds point of view since the beginning. Everyone and everything on each side seem to be within her calculations. I dont 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 theres 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, its really exquisite. Ye Cheng didnt 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 grandmothers seal is on it.

Everyone gathered around to take a look.

Mu Chen sighed. Cheng Ches grandmother is really too meticulous. If we werent aware, we wouldnt be able to tell its 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! Hasnt it already been handed to the country? Moreover, if its 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 wouldnt think its fake either. He would casually flip through it and put it down since he wouldnt be able to understand it. He would let the professional look at it later. Its such a precious thing so he wouldnt take it away from me either and would leave it with me for safekeeping. Its a show of trust and respect for me. Right, Mu Chen?

Mu Chen nodded. Of course.

Zhuang Nings expression changed. She understood Song Nings meaning.

Song Ning said with a sigh, With my limited knowledge, I cant understand the embroidery manual. Even if I gave it to Sister An Ran, itd still be useless. Its a pity my skills are too low, and I dont understand embroidery. Although I know the basics of embroidery, itd 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. Its truly a pity that theres no successor for Zhuang Jis embroidery technique. My mother didnt have the time to accept a disciple.

Song Ning sighed again as her fingers brushed the page of the embroidery manual. Its 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 Im 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, wouldnt everyone be able to open an embroidery shop? What advantage would Zhuang Ji have at that time? Later on, I a.s.sumed 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.
