"Let me ask you, did you embroider this for your grandmother?" Master Shen looked solemnly at Xiu Ying.

Xiu Ying stood up straight from Madam Feng's embrace and nodded slightly.

Master Shen then laughed, "You were the one who embroidered it?"

Xiu Ying continued to nod her head. Suddenly, a bang sounded out in the room. Master Shen slammed his palm on the table, causing the tea table on the table to jump a few times.

Old Master Shen could not suppress his anger and looked at his eldest daughter sharply: "You still dare to admit that you were the one who embroidered it? At such a young age, you don't even blink and just kneel down in panic! "

"Master …" Madam Feng could not help but speak. Xiu Ying, on the other hand, was a step faster than her. "I didn't make a mistake. Why do I have to kneel?"

Hearing this, Old Lady Shen and Old Master Shen's faces darkened. Xiu Ying did not want to hear any more slanderous words, so she spoke quickly and anxiously, "Is it really my fault for being good at embroidery?!" Just because others can't beat me, I'm in the wrong?! If this is my fault, then why should I kneel? "

"— You still dare to talk back!" Elder Shen was so angry that his face turned red as he scolded, "Kneel!"

Shen Junxiao watched as Master Shen held the teacup in his hands unconsciously. His hands were clenched into fists, as he kept his guard up.

Shen Lian lowered her head, the corners of her lips curled up, and she quickly pressed them down.

Madam Feng was about to argue with elder Shen. She no longer held any hope for this man who kept on blaming and blaming her daughter without clearly investigating the matter, but now her hand was being held by her daughter. She heard her daughter's clear voice, "Father, do you think that I am putting my hand on her forehead? Someone get me a needle and thread! "

The little girl raised her chin, her voice becoming stern: "Whatever I say, it's an excuse in your eyes. Since that's the case, then please take a look at how your daughter is' impersonating '."

A little girl who had only just reached the adult's chest stood straight and unyielding. Her snow-white cheeks were slightly red from excitement. There was no grievance in her large almond eyes, and her gaze was extremely firm. In fact, she felt wronged, but she didn't want to show it.

Because she knew that no matter what she did, it was just a farce in the eyes of someone who was prejudiced against her. In the eyes of someone who was waiting to see her make a fool of herself, she would be content with what she felt!

She did not want others to pity her, and she would not make her enemies laugh!

When Second Branch Aunt saw this, she looked at one another and sighed. Although she didn't believe that Xiu Ying could sew that well, she still felt extremely sorry for her niece. No matter what, to be used by one's seniors as a form of struggle, just thinking about it sent chills down one's spine.

Perhaps it was because Xiu Ying was too domineering, but the room actually quieted down. Madam Feng looked at Old Lady Shen, who had been silent all this time. She gave her a faint smile, but her eyes were filled with endless chilliness.

Old Madam Shen's heart skipped a beat when she saw this.

She admitted that she was using a child to pick up her daughter-in-law, but she also did so because the Feng family had been too domineering recently. Even if the Feng family had wronged her previously, they shouldn't have let her down.

She felt that she had been extremely good to the Feng family all these years.

Old Madam Shen pursed her lips, but still looked away guiltily. She also didn't believe that an eight-year-old child could be that skilled at cooking.

Master Shen was silent. It wasn't that he didn't have any thoughts in his heart. He wanted to punish this insatiable eldest daughter, but he only hoped that she would soften her tone and say that she was wrong. Then, he would take the opportunity to forgive her. This way, Madam Feng's heart would feel better, and it would be best if she could accept his kindness.

Ever since the matter with Aunt Cui, he still wanted to dissolve his long frozen relationship with Madam Feng.

But his eldest daughter was far more stubborn than he had thought.

Great Master Shen didn't know whether he should take out the needle and thread. How could an eight year old kid sew out such a needlepoint?

"Didn't you hear my orders? Get the needle and thread. "

In the silence, a slightly hoarse male voice could be heard. Everyone could not help but look over. Shen Jun smiled coldly and knocked on the table. In the silence, a few soft knocks made the servants' hearts tremble.

In the end, Mama Qi moved, turning around and heading into the inner room.

After a while, the small basket filled with needle and thread was handed over to Xiu Ying. Xiu Ying didn't look at any of them. She placed the items on the ground and squatted down to start embroidering. Shen Junxiao then called for people to send her the Wooden Pellets.

Lady Feng, who was standing in the hall, turned her head to look at her handsome brother-in-law. A trace of warmth finally flowed out from her ice-cold heart.

In the entire family, he was probably the only one who would believe in his daughter.

Seeing how Xiu Ying directly sewed out the cloth, everyone couldn't help but hold their breaths. The little girl was very calm. She didn't want to stand out too much and make people feel like she was being too smart, but sometimes, it was not something she could dodge just because she wanted to.

She stitched a needle and slowly embroidered a piece of maple leaf out, then the side of the lock.

For a full three quarters of an hour, she did not even raise her head. When she put the needle away, her hand had become stiff. Madam Feng crouched down and cut the thread for her daughter, letting the little girl take it to Master Shen for a look.

When Xiu Ying had embroidered half a leaf of the maple leaf, Master Shen's expression had already changed.

It was true that he was a man that didn't understand embroidery, but he was skilled in painting. He could tell the problem just by looking at his figure. Now, after seeing the embroidery work in his hands, aside from being shocked, he was also in a state of panic.

With just a glance, he could tell that the mark had come from his eldest daughter's hand.

This... This was too surprising and surprising.

Master Shen lifted his eyes to look at his eldest daughter, who was nowhere to be seen. The little girl stood there very quietly with a very calm expression. She was also looking at him, and there was disappointment in her beautiful eyes … Old Master Shen's hands trembled. Was he disappointed in me?

It was as if he had seen it in the eyes of the Feng family as well …

"Now that the matter has been made clear, we will return to the courtyard." Madam Feng went to hold Xiu Ying's hand, pulling her along as she smiled and bowed towards Shen Jun.

Shen Jun smiled as he stood up. Madam Feng smiled at Old Lady Shen who was looking at the items in her son's hands, "Old granny, the people in this mansion are getting more and more unruly. I shall pass down the order.

Not a consultation, just a notice.

Madam Feng's cold gaze turned to Shen Lian, who was still in shock. Shen Lian's entire body was shivering as she nervously moved closer to her grandmother.

Madam Feng only glanced at them once before leaving with Xiu Ying. Shen Jun smiled as he watched them leave. His heart was filled with pity for the two of them. Perhaps, it would be better to get things done earlier.

Even now, his home was riddled with holes. There was no need for him to struggle any longer.

The mother and daughter pair left while Master Shen sat in his seat in a daze. The couple from the second branch were also taken aback. The result was something they had never expected. Then, the two recalled how they didn't help Old Lady Shen just now, and felt a sense of guilt towards the mother and daughter pair.

When Xiu Ying walked out of the Kang Ning courtyard, she suddenly stopped Madam Feng. Madam Feng lowered her head to look at her. She thought that she was feeling wronged and wanted to comfort her. Unexpectedly, the little girl raised her head and said with an incomparably serious expression, "Mother, please send a letter to my ancestor's home. Please let him and you stay together …"
