Hearing that her daughter went out to look for an embroiderer, Madam Kou was really relieved. And when she heard that the embroiderer she invited was from the collapsed Lin Family Embroidery Shop, she was so angry that they almost jumped. "Why do you look for her? Did you find a goner? If Lin Dan's embroidering skills were better than Meng Si's, would the Lin Embroidery Shop collapse? Where does she live? Tell me now. I'll get 5 taels of silver back. Let's go to Meng Clan Embroidery Shop and find a better embroiderer than her!"

"Auntie, it's none of your business." Xu Qian seemed to be gentle, but in fact, she had a good idea. She said firmly, "I just want Lin Dan to embroider clothes for me. Don't worry. Even if you have hired another embroiderer to make clothes for me, I won't wear them. Don't waste money."

Although the two of them lived in the Admiral's Manor, they didn't have much savings because they were not favored. A set of clothes worth ten or twenty taels of silver was ordinary for others of the family but extravagant for them.

Xu Qian knew that in order to marry her own daughter into the royal family, Madam would definitely try her best to suppress the other daughters of concubines. When all the clothes were made, the seventh daughter's must be the most beautiful, and the rest would only be a foil.

Xu Qian didn't want to be a foil, so she wouldn't want the clothes made by Mother.

However, Madam Kou didn't understand her concern. She said anxiously, "Who is Lin Dan? I've never heard of her before. Can you wear the clothes she made? Although we can't invite Meng Si, we can invite her embroiderer. You should know that all the high-level embroiderers from the Meng Clan Embroidery Shop are from the palace, and their workmanship is absolutely not bad! Tell me the address of the Lin family as soon as possible. I'll get the deposit back!"

Xu Qian picked up a book and read it slowly, ignoring her angry mother.

Madam Kou glared at her and gasped for a while before she lifted the curtain and went out.

Without raising her head, Xu Qian said, "If you go to inquire about the address of the Lin family secretly and return my order without permission, I won't attend the Mid Autumn Dinner Party. The embroiderer you are looking for is definitely not as good as Lin Dan. I believe in her." She believed in her own insight more than she believed in Lin Dan.

After pausing for a moment, Madam Kou slammed the door and left angrily.

Soon Madam Xu heard the quarrel between the mother and daughter. She said with a faint smile, "Ling'er, look, even your well-behaved Sixth Sister has some ideas!"

"She is playing tricks on me. What am I afraid of? Who was the embroiderer she was looking for? Compared with Meng Si, who do you think you are?" Xu Ling, the di daughter of the Xu family, curled her lips in disdain.

A maid replied in a hurry, "My lady, that embroiderer is Lin Dafu's daughter. She has never learned embroidery before. She is a green hand. That day, she embroidered a blouse with ginkgo leaves for Du Ruyan, which made her quite popular. But Miss Meng has said that those ginkgo leaves are all embroidered with the simplest needle method. It's not surprising that the disciples of her Embroidery Shop can make them easily."

Madam Xu's eyelids closed slightly and said lazily, "Du Ruyan is so beautiful that she looks good no matter what she wears. It's not the embroiderer's contribution. Since she is not good at embroidering, let her be an embroiderer for Sixth Girl. It's none of our business."

Xu Ling grinned and said, "I'd like to see what kind of clothes she will make for Sixth Sister. Last time, she embroidered leaves, but this time, she embroiders flowers? That's interesting!"
