Chapter 203: Scheme

Cloud Embroidery Workshop was different from other shops. The layout inside was similar to a mansion. There were also pavilions and rockeries, expensive flowers and trees as decorations. It was very imposing.

At this moment, 20 to 30 girls had gathered in the corridor on the right side of the rockery. They were in groups of twos and threes, chatting and laughing. The atmosphere was very happy.

Luo Yinhuan had yet to arrive, so everyone was waiting here.

Chu Qingyue formed a small group with the girl in purple and the girl in pink who came in with her and shared their embroidery.

The girl in pink looked at Chu Qingyue’s embroidery and praised, “Qingyue, your hibiscus flower embroidery is really good. Not only does it look impressive, but it’s also lifelike. It’s as if it can attract butterflies.”

Chu Qingyue was a little embarrassed by the praise. “My fifth sister is better than me. After hearing her suggestion, I was able to embroider so well.” The girl in pink asked in confusion, “Then why isn’t your fifth sister here?” Chu Qingyue thought of her almost omnipotent fifth sister and couldn’t help but smile. “She doesn’t like to walk this career path.”

The girl in purple joked, “If she doesn’t come, we’ll have one less competitor.”

Chu Qingyue thought to herself that if Fifth Sister came, no one would be able to outperform her today. Perhaps Fifth Sister would even overshadow Luo Yinhuan and become the teacher.

At the thought of this, she only smiled and did not say anything.

The girl in pink said with great anticipation, “Today, I must pass the test and become Embroiderer Luo’s disciple.”

The girl in purple also said, “Me too. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.”

The girl in pink said to Chu Qingyue, “Qingyue, your embroidery is so lifelike and beautiful. You will definitely be selected.”

Chu Qingyue smiled and said humbly, “I hope so.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a middle-aged woman carrying a white cat walked over. “Embroiderer Luo will be here soon. Everyone, wait patiently.” “Auntie, your cat is so cute.” A girl in peach color walked over and reached out to touch the cat. As she touched the cat, she stuffed a silver ingot into the middle-aged woman’s hand.

Coincidentally, Chu Qingyue saw it.

Her eyes widened slightly. Clearly, she didn’t expect that someone would try to get in through the back door. Before she could come back to her senses, a few more girls went forward and stuffed silver into the middle-aged woman’s hands.

What shocked her the most was that the girl in pink and the girl in purple who were talking to her also went over to do the same thing.

The middle-aged woman was obviously very satisfied. At first, her expression was very flat, but now, she was grinning from ear to ear. “Just wait. I’ll definitely put in a good word for you in front of Embroiderer Luo.”

“Thank you, Auntie.” The girls who had stuffed silver into their hands thanked her in unison. All of them beamed with joy, thinking that they would definitely be selected.

The girl in pink and the girl in purple looked at each other, then walked to Chu Qingyue’s side…

The girl in pink pointed to the roof and said, “Sister, look, there’s a magpie there.”

Chu Qingyue looked up, but she did not see any magpies. Instead, she felt a pull on the embroidery in her hand.

By the time she reacted, the embroidery had already fallen to the ground.

“Aiya, Sister, your embroidery fell off…” The girl in purple hurriedly picked it up and stuffed it back into Chu Qingyue’s hands. “Sister, you have to take it well.” Chu Qingyue put away the embroidery carefully. “Thank you.”

A person wearing a white veiled hat walked over. She was wearing a veiled hat, so her appearance could not be seen. However, from her figure and clothes, one could tell that she was a young lady.

“Everyone, put your embroidery work on the tray. I’ll take a look first.” The woman’s voice was like the spring breeze in March, sounding extremely pleasant.

The servant girl behind her then walked towards the girls with a tray. The girls placed their embroidery work on the tray one after another. When the servant girl arrived in front of Chu Qingyue, Chu Qingyue hurriedly placed the embroidery work on it.

There was a name written on each embroidery work, so there was no need to worry about it getting mixed up.

After putting away the embroidery works, the servant girl carried the tray and followed the woman in the veiled hat into the house in front, leaving the rest to wait in anxiety.

Soon, the servant girl who had just collected the embroidery works was holding a white embroidery fabric in her hand and walking straight towards the girls.

The gazes of the young girls followed the servant girl, and their hearts pounded. On one hand, they were worried that they would fail, and on the other hand, they could not help but be happy, thinking that they might have been selected.

Soon, they knew what was going on.

The servant girl walked up to Chu Qingyue and placed the embroidery fabric in her hand. Her expression was calm. “You can leave.”

Chu Qingyue’s heart instantly fell to the rock bottom. Her eyes turned red and she almost cried. “W-why?”

“Take a look at your embroidery work.” After the servant girl said that, she turned around and left.

Chu Qingyue immediately unfolded the embroidery work. “W-What’s going on?”

She had painstakingly embroidered her work, but now, the embroidery work was torn and in a mess.

“It shouldn’t be like this, it shouldn’t be like this…”

Chu Qingyue could not believe it. When did her embroidery work become like this?

Seeing this, the girl in purple and the girl in pink standing beside her both revealed looks of disdain, but they didn’t let Chu Qingyue see it.

Chu Qingyue’s embroidery work was much better than theirs. With her embroidery work as a comparison, it was very likely that their works would fail. Therefore, they were tempted to swap it. Humans were selfish.

The servant girl came out of the house again. She stood at the door and said in a business-like manner, “Those whose names I read can stay. The others can leave.”

“Gao Xue, Du Fang, Xia He, Xuan Juan, Qin Feng, the five of you, come over.”

The girls were overjoyed when they heard their names being mentioned. They hurriedly walked towards the servant girl.

The girl in pink and the girl in purple had both been selected.

The girls whose names weren’t mentioned were extremely disappointed. They sat there, looking at the five selected enviously. Chu Qingyue was even more dejected, her eyes dazed.

No matter how difficult it was to accept the truth, the girls who had not been selected had to leave.

Under the servant girl’s gaze, they walked out one by one, glancing back from time to time. They were filled with unwillingness.

The more they thought about it, the sadder they became.

Chu Qingyue followed the crowd out. Her mind was in a mess. She still could not understand why her embroidery work had suddenly become like that.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks. Other than placing her embroidery work on the tray, it had never left her hand. Could it be that it was done by the servant girl?

That’s not right. I have no grudges with the servant girl. Why is she making things difficult for me?

Thinking about it, she realized something was wrong!

A moment later, her eyes narrowed. She remembered that the girl in purple had touched her embroidery work. Yes, she must have done it when she helped her pick up the embroidery work.

No, I can’t take this lying down.. 1 have to go back and expose her!
