Chapter 575 Embroidery Manual

Mu Chen’s hands suddenly stilled before he looked at Song Ning.

“What’s wrong?” Song Ning asked.

Instead of replying, he held her hand and placed it on the spot that he had just touched.

Song Ning was stunned.

The inner lining of the three boxes was silvery white silk. This was not strange since the silk was used to protect the clothing.

However, the inner wall of the empty box felt different, and it sounded different when they knocked on it.

Song Ning reached out and tore off a corner of the silk lining. She slowly pulled the silk off, revealing a hidden compartment on the inner wall of the box.

The two of them looked at each other.

The workmanship of the box was really exquisite. No one would be able to guess there was a hidden compartment. Even Song Ning would not have guessed it.

There was even a fingerprint lock on the hidden compartment.

Song Ning’s hand trembled slightly as she placed her ring finger on the small display screen. At the same time, she explained, “We used to have a fingerprint lock in our house. I once asked my mother why she used her ring finger to unlock the lock. After all, it’s more convenient to use one’s index finger. At that time, my mother said she liked the ring finger because she said the ring finger is connected to one’s heart. It seems like my mother had been prepared since a long time ago.”

At this time, a beep rang in the air as the hidden compartment unlocked itself.

The duo sighed in relief upon seeing this. As expected, the embroidery manual was with Song Ning all along. Song Ning was very careful as she brought the embroidery manual out of the hidden compartment and placed it on her knees. She stroked it gently as she said, “This is the Zhuang family’s heirloom. Those people who covet it are really delusional. I won’t allow them to get their hands on it for their selfish interests. I won’t let them profit from it…”

Mu Chen nodded and patted her shoulder. “Fortunately, it’s with you. You can rest assured now.”

Song Ning nodded. After a moment, she called out, “Mu Chen…”

“Hm?” Mu Chen was putting the box back together. After all, it was something left behind by Song Ning’s mother. Not only was the embroidery manual important, but the box was important as well.

“I’m afraid those people won’t stop until they get their hands on the embroidery manual…”

Mu Chen stopped moving and looked at Song Ning. “You want to lure them out and deal with them in one fell swoop?”

Song Ning hesitated for a moment before she nodded. “I want to put an end to this matter. Draw out all the hidden dangers and deal with them. If we don’t remove these hidden dangers, I’m afraid there’ll be a disaster sooner or later. Apart from Zhuang Ji, there are many small ethnic companies that make aliving from embroidery. They’ll be affected as well if we don’t do something…”

Mu Chen hugged Song Ning and gently said, “Alright, I’ll help you think of something.”

Song Ning looked up at Mu Chen and said, “Thank you. I thank you on behalf of my mother and grandmother.”

Mu Chen kissed her forehead. “Silly, why are you being so polite with me?” Then, he looked at the embroidery manual in her hands before he said, “Go and speak to Grandma.”

Song Ning nodded. “Alright. We’ll need Grandma to help us with this matter as well. Moreover, if I’m going to donate it to the country later, I’ll also need Grandma’s help.” Mu Chen smiled as he stroked her head. “Grandma really didn’t love you in vain.”

Jiang Jin stroked the embroidery manual before she looked at Song Ning and sighed. “Song Ning, I really admire you, and I’m really proud of you. This honor belongs to Zhuang Ji. Even if you donate this to the country, you have to think of Zhuang Ji as well. We have to properly develop Zhuang Ji. Only then it’ll be worthy of the skills passed down from the Zhuang family.”

Song Ning said as she lowered her head, “It’s a pity I’m not talented in embroidery or managing a business…”

Jiang Jin said in feigned anger, “Is there a need for you to worry about this? You’re married to Mu Chen so he’s obligated to help you with this. Otherwise, what’s the point of keeping him around? We have to make use of his abilities.”

Song Ning laughed. “Grandma, how can you say that?”

Jiang Jin did not say anything nor did Mu Chen care about her words. It was fine as long as everyone was happy.
