013 Sisterhood

Shen Qingru gently held onto Shen Muyun's tender hands, smiled and said sincerely: "It's alright little sister, I won't blame you."

One of these days, I will give you the most terrible retribution!]

"Sisters naturally have to take care of each other, they love each other dearly!"

I will slowly watch as you lose everything you have.

"I won't blame you for such a trifling matter."

Shen Muyun, I will slowly let you taste the feeling of eternal hell.

"So, little sister, there's no need to be so polite." Shen Qingru smiled gently, just like a loving sister.

The old mistress was naturally pleased with her sisterly look. Different from Qin's who treated his own children badly, the Old Mistress doted on her grandchildren, whether they were her own children or not. After all, they were all her sons' children.

Compared to acting, Shen Muyun was naturally not inferior. She held the embroidery sac that Shen Qingru gave her and carefully looked at it in her hands. It seemed that she really liked this exquisite embroidery sac. Shen Muyun looked at Shen Qingru with her bright eyes and laughed: "Big sister's cooking is so good, I think you are even better than the embroidery ladies in this house."

To compare the young miss of the Shen family with the embroidery mother, only Shen Muyun herself knew what the meaning of her words were.

On the surface, she looked innocent and the old lady could not blame her, she only knew that Mu Yun did not mean it.

Shen Qingru did not mind Shen Muyun's words, and smiled as she replied: "When I was in Ye City, I would often take some needlework to supplement my family, and over time, I became more proficient in it. My embroidery skills are not that great, but I am slightly more adept than the average person. "Younger sister is a hundred times smarter than me. If you want to learn well, then naturally you're a lot better than me."

The Old Granny's heart tensed up, how could Qing Ru, a child, fall to the point of having to do embroidery to supplement her family's income?

She had clearly instructed the Qin's to give the person who adopted Qing Ru more silver, so that Qing Ru could live a more comfortable life in the countryside. That family had also promised to take good care of Qing Ru, and treat her like a young miss, so they wouldn't let her suffer even a little.

Could it be that Qin's was so greedy that he stole the silver from Qing Ru?

The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became. She couldn't help but curse at Qin's a few hundred times in her heart. A maid was a maid. Even if they flew up to a branch, they wouldn't be able to become a phoenix. They would only be a pheasant that couldn't be served!

Looking at Shen Qingru's thin and small face, the old lady felt her heart ache.

Shen Muyun did not notice the old lady's request. She curled her lips and secretly rolled her eyes, looking down on Shen Qingru's words. She was a noble young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate. All she learned was music, calligraphy, poetry, poetry and such elegant things. Embroidery was a task that only the lady in the palace had the right to do. How could she, the miss of a Qian Jin, need to do it herself?

She looked at the plain and simple clothes that Shen Qingru was wearing, and rolled her eyes: "Elder sister, you just returned to the house, I'm afraid that the house will not have the time to make a new set of clothes for you. We sisters have similar statures. If you choose a few from my place, then regardless of whether it's the materials or the handiwork, they would all be much stronger than yours. Why don't you come with me and have a look? "

Shen Qingru said indifferently: "Thank you sister for your kind intentions, it's just that I'm used to simple attire, so I don't need you to worry."

He was truly a country bumpkin who had never seen the world!

Shen Muyun secretly despised him in her heart, but she still smiled: "Elder sister, in a few days it will be Grandmother's birthday celebration. Those who come to our residence as guests are all noble families and nobles, don't be disrespectful in front of others, you have disgraced our Prime Minister's Palace."

The meaning behind his words was that Shen Qingru's clothes were too shabby.

Shen Qingru was neither humble nor arrogant, "Then little sister, there's no need to trouble yourself."

She wanted to see who would be rude in front of others.

Half an hour later, the sisters bade farewell to the madame. Shen Mingxian and Shen Huajing left together. Shen Huiyu was still young, so she carried him back to Litchi Garden. Shen Qingru and Shen Muyun were the only ones left.

Shen Muyun smiled and bid farewell to Shen Qingru, then took the lead to walk back to the main courtyard. Shen Qingru stood where she was and looked at the birdcage under the walkway for a while, then was supported by Zi Xing to walk slowly back to his courtyard.

When they reached a small path, Aster gave a cry and picked up an object that was partially buried in the mud. Shen Qingru looked carefully and saw that the red embroidery sac with the pattern of the Jade Lake Fairy was precisely the embroidery sac that she had gifted to Shen Muyun.

The embroidery sac had already been torn into two and fell to the ground, covered with the yellowish brown mud, upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a few footprints on it.

"The young lady spent so much effort to embroider it all, how could Second Miss be so careless?"

Shen Qingru sneered: "She was intentionally throwing it at me."

Since that was the case, let the others take a look as well.

Shen Qingru said indifferently: "Purple Aster, throw this broken embroidery sac in front of the old lady's courtyard."
