Exiled to Lingnan, the Crown Prince's wife raises children, cultivates the land, and leads the

"Give her a bolt of cloth."

For the sake of the beautiful double-sided embroidered purse, Song Mingzhu didn't bother arguing with Cheng Qiqi's petty schemes. She said, "Would you be interested in continuing to embroider double-sided fans?"

Spring is here, can summer be far behind?

If you have a fan with double-sided embroidery, it will be very eye-catching to hold it in your hand.

"Great! Miss Song is so generous and lavish; she certainly won't let our little embroiderer suffer any losses, will she?"

Cheng Qiqi smiled, her eyes crinkling. Money delivered to her doorstep—why not take it?

"Fan paintings are also 1,000 coins each, and I want five."

Song Mingzhu spoke up, saying she wanted to collect several of her favorite flowers.

"What about the delivery time? Is there a prize?"

Cheng Qiqi asked.

"We're not betting, so what kind of prize do we want?"

Looking at Cheng Qiqi's smile, Song Mingzhu inexplicably felt like she had been taken advantage of. She changed the subject and said, "Just give it to me before the start of summer. If you succeed, I will reward you with another bolt of three-loom cloth."

"make a deal."

Cheng Qiqi immediately said, "Moon Lady, could you please help me draw up another contract?"

"By the way, Miss Song, have you chosen the pattern yet? You won't deliberately make things difficult for us by choosing an impossible pattern, will you?"

Cheng Qiqi added, "Although Song Mingzhu seems to really like double-sided embroidery, who knows if she might deliberately make things difficult for me?"

After all, a rich young lady like Song Mingzhu has plenty of ways to make things difficult for someone if she wants to.

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Song Mingzhu couldn't help but want to whip someone. She said irritably, "As long as you can maintain this level, that's fine. You... what's so difficult about you that I need to make things difficult for you?"

"Seven Seven, Miss Song seems to be well-educated and reasonable, perfectly complementing the hibiscus flower that doesn't compete for spring's glory or summer's warmth. Why would she deliberately make things difficult for you?"

Liu Suyi stepped forward and said, "Miss Song can send over the pattern you like, and I will definitely embroider the fan beautifully for you."

"Oh, you embroidered this?"

Only then did Song Mingzhu notice Liu Suyi standing to the side. She was dressed in ordinary cotton clothes, with only a wooden hairpin in her hair. Her plain face seemed somewhat out of place with what Song Mingzhu had just said.

"Who are you?"

Song Mingzhu looked her over. This family of people were all good-looking and didn't look like the country girls she had ever seen.

"I'm just a commoner who enjoys embroidery. Spring is here, Miss Song, would you like some new clothes made? Besides embroidery, I can also make new clothes. Miss Song has beautiful features, and if you were to wear a light pink dress, you would be even more radiant."

When Liu Suyi talks about tailoring, she is incredibly knowledgeable. Not to mention Song Mingzhu, even Cheng Qiqi, who was listening from the side, was completely bewildered.

As Cheng Qiqi left the embroidery building, she saw that Liu Suyi had earned enough money for another set of clothes through her own efforts, and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, saying, "Mother, you're really amazing!"

Just now, when Liu Suyi was holding Song Mingzhu, Cheng Qiqi suddenly felt that her mother-in-law was also flexible and adaptable!

The former mistress of the Marquis's mansion, let alone Song Mingzhu, probably wouldn't even get to see her.

But after Liu Suyi's identity changed, could she still coax Song Mingzhu?

"Qiqi, you've paved the way for us, and your mother can't hold you back."

Liu Suyi gently patted her hand: "It must be hard for you to take on embroidery work for us, right?"

The attitude of Miss Song just now clearly showed this.

"Mom, it's just a few unpleasant words. As long as we can make money, let her say a few words. It won't hurt us much."

Cheng Qiqi didn't care about any of that. She said, "Mother, this time there are five fans, plus the screen and clothes. Can you manage to embroider them all?"

The embroidered screens given by Meng Jingyao, Li Shi, and Lin Huilan were quite good, so we accepted four more.

They were one thing, but Liu Suyi also had to embroider fans and make new clothes...

"The fans will be delivered before the start of summer, so there's still plenty of time. Making new clothes will be even easier."

From a young age, Liu Suyi enjoyed doing these things whenever she had free time. She said, "Come on, Mom earned some money today, let's buy meat and make braised pork!"

"Thank you, Mother."

Cheng Qiqi didn't ask any more questions. Liu Suyi also wanted to make money, so naturally she wouldn't stop her!

Liu Suyi was exceptionally generous and bought two jin of meat, as well as offal, which no one else liked.

Qiqi loves to eat this.

Moreover, aside from thinking that this thing isn't very good, braised pork offal still tastes quite good.

Back home, Meng Jingyao, Li Shi, and Lin Huilan couldn't wait to come over. As soon as Liu Suyi returned, they came to greet her.

"Ugh."

Liu Suyi sighed.

Meng Jingyao and the other two felt a chill run down their spines. Lin Huilan said, "Could there be a problem with the embroidered screen? That's impossible. It's so beautifully embroidered, you can't even see the loose threads. Unless they're deliberately making things difficult for us!"

Lin Huilan was very confident in her skills.

"Second sister-in-law, is it because the embroidery tower... is making things difficult for you?" Although Li had never been there, she could guess.

Even though Cheng Qiqi has become one of the owners in the sugar shop, and everyone sees her as enthusiastic and passionate, behind her back, they will say that Cheng Qiqi is a widow!

And they were, in fact, exiled prisoners.

"Now I realize that even when Qiqi goes to the embroidery shop to get work, she has to be mindful of how others treat her."

Liu Suyi recounted the story of Miss Song Mingzhu, a mix of truth and fiction, and said, "Fortunately, the managers of the embroidery shop are all quite good, otherwise, we probably wouldn't have been able to do it this time."

"Qiqi, how about we give them a little more money?"

Meng Jingyao said embarrassedly, "Before, they were petty and thought, 'It's just a job,' right?"

Now, she feels that going to the embroidery shop to get jobs is not easy either, as she has to be mindful of others' attitudes and so on.

"No need, it's fine as it is."

Cheng Qiqi didn't say much, but quietly changed the subject: "Mom, you can divide up the work we took on this time."

With her mother-in-law backing her up, she naturally wouldn't undermine her.

Seeing that she had the upper hand, Liu Suyi immediately began distributing the items: eight screens, two for each person.

She must have made all five fans. As for the clothes, she said, "Miss Song needs spring clothes. I was thinking, could we make one together?"

"If the clothes are made well, we might be able to collaborate with the Embroidery Pavilion."

Liu Suyi brought this up specifically today with this intention in mind, to let Xiulou see their importance!

Perhaps, with long-term cooperation in the future, they won't have to worry about not earning money while doing embroidery at home.

Cheng Qiqi stood aside and listened. As expected of the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, her mother-in-law was thinking long-term. She was only thinking about taking some work from the embroidery workshop, but her mother-in-law was already thinking about cooperating with the embroidery workshop.

The inner quarters have confined the mother-in-law, but now, her embroidery career might even reach new heights!
