Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 574 - The Box

Chapter 574 The Box

Song Ning fell deep into her thoughts. After a moment, she said, “I can’t really think of anything now. The embroidery manual was passed down from my grandmother’s side of the family. It was part of my grandmother’s dowry. Traditionally, it was passed down to female descendants. Each generation would choose an outstanding daughter to inherit the embroidery manual. In the olden days, the person who inherited the embroidery manual had to marry a husband into the family instead of the other way around to ensure that the embroidery manual stayed in the family. In any case, my grandmother had always been open-minded. Hence, when it came to my mother, my grandmother didn’t say anything when my mother married my father. She told my mother that when she was no longer around, if I wasn’t good at embroidery, the embroidery manual should be donated to the country since it’s the quintessence of the nation.”

Song Ning continued to say, “Embroidery is all about talent. Unfortunately, I don’t have that talent. Moreover, my interest lies in traditional Chinese medicine. No one pressured me. My grandmother decided to donate the embroidery manual to the country if we didn’t have any use for it because she didn’t want to pressure me or my mother.”

Mu Chen felt rather speechless. Such a precious thing that people were clamoring to buy ended up with Song Ning who was disinterested in it. After a moment, he said, “Like I said, an overseas buyer wanted to buy it from Ning Zhe at an extremely high price...”

Song Nong nodded. “That’s why he did all those things...”

Mu Chen nodded as well.

Song Ning sneered. “He’s really too shameless! What right does he have to the embroidery manual? It would be fine if my mother had always been the Madam of the Ning family. However, he betrayed my mother and acted so self-righteously until now. He doesn’t even feel remorse. How dare he even think about the embroidery manual? I’m really so angry that I don’t even know what to say about him!”

Mu Chen quickly held her hand and said, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. He’s not worth it. I’m just worried he won’t give up on the embroidery manual. Currently, everyone thinks that the embroidery manual is with you so all of their attention is on you.”

Song Ning said, slightly anxious, “But I really don’t know where the embroidery manual is...” “It’s okay. Take your time to think about it. We have the time to deal with this matter. Don’t be anxious,” Mu Chen said reassuringly. Song Ning gradually calmed down after Mu Chen reassured her. She looked at the camphor box again as she muttered to herself, “Why’s the box empty? Why was it placed with the wedding dress my mother made for me? Why?”

Mu Chen thought the matter was strange as well. He went forward and opened the camphor

box.

The box was similar to the other two. It was just that the other two boxes contained a white wedding dress and a red wedding dress respectively, and this box was empty.

Upon seeing the frown on Song Ning’s face, Mu Chen tried to lighten the mood. He patted the box and said, “Box, I wonder what secret you’re hiding. Don’t make things difficult for my wife. It’ll make her unhappy.”

Song Ning could not help but smile. Ever since they had a child, she felt that Mu Chen’s words and actions were becoming more and more childish. She asked with a smile, “What did the box say?”

Mu Chen did not respond. He studied the box and touched all its sides. Then, it removed the wedding dresses from the other two boxes and began to study them as well.

Song Ning went forward and looked at him curiously.

After a moment, Mu Chen looked up and said, “The sound this box makes when you knock on it is different from the other two boxes...”

As he spoke, he reached out again to touch the four walls of the box.
