Shen Yizhi snapped his fingers and ended Du Yingying's hypnotic state.
Du Yingying suddenly came to her senses and saw the maid who was stopping her. She blurted out, "Xiaohong, why are you stopping me?"
Madam Du said angrily, "If I don't stop you, will I let you come in?"
His eyes fell on Shen Yizhi: "Who is this?"
Du Yingying looked at Shen Yizhi, wondering why she had brought her here just now? Could it be that -
I heard that there are many talented people in the world. Not only can they fly over eaves and walls, but they also have some tricks that are hard to guard against.
Could this ordinary-looking woman be a strange person? Was she the one who had been tricked by her just now? Du Yingying was thinking wildly in her mind. Just then, she saw Shen Yizhi smiling at her. She suddenly felt that her smile was very mysterious. Her scalp went numb and she hid behind Madam Du.
"Madam Du, I have long heard of your name. My last name is Shen, so you can just call me Miss Shen. I have a design for a dress, but other embroiderers said they couldn't make it. Madam Du is the best embroiderer in the Southern Region, so I'm sure you can do it, so I came all the way here."
Flattery never wears out, no matter how many holes it has.
Sure enough, after she flattered him, Madam Du looked much better.
She sat down on the chair and said calmly, "Show it to me."
Shen Yizi took out the blueprint from his arms.
Madam Du unfolded the drawing, and the moment she saw the entire design, a light flashed in her eyes.
The style of the clothes drawn on it was something she had never seen before, but it was extremely exquisite. If she could make it, it would definitely be beautiful.
Maybe it will become popular throughout Jincheng and even the Southern Region.
In an instant, Madam Du coveted the blueprint in front of her and wanted to possess it.
Du Yingying didn't care at first and glanced at the drawing casually, but her eyes were fixed on it after that glance.
That skirt is so pretty! If she could wear it——
She imagined the scene, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
The greed of the mother and daughter did not escape Shen Yizi's eyes.
She couldn't help but feel a strong sense of doubt in her heart. Is this the number one embroiderer in the Southern Region? Is Gu Xueting's information wrong, or is the person in front of her too good at propaganda?
No, it can’t be said to be publicity stunt. At least this Ms. Du has real talent.
All the embroidery works in the hall were exquisite, especially the landscape, peony, flower and bird painting, which made her very fond of it.
But what she was looking for was a master of embroidery skills and good character, and Madam Du obviously did not meet her requirements.
Madam Du finished reading the drawings and put them on the table. "Miss Shen, I'll take your order. Please go to the front and pay the deposit. Come back in two months to pick up the clothes."
Two months? Shen Yizhi laughed.
She waved her hand and took the blueprint back. "No need. I suddenly don't want to ask you to do it anymore."
This move really shocked the three people present.
Madam Du was calmer. She was reluctant to let the duck fly away and smiled gently: "Miss Shen, why do you suddenly not want to do it anymore?"
Du Yingying shouted impatiently: "You don't have to do it, but you have to leave the drawings behind!"
After all, she grew up in a rich and beautiful environment, and after so many years of being influenced by it, she still has a certain vision. She thinks that the clothes on this blueprint will definitely lead the trend of the new quarter in Jincheng! So this blueprint must be obtained! As for Shen Yizhi, even if she is a man of the world with some means, so what? She is just one person, can she fight against the government?
Thinking of this, Du Yingying's earlier fear of Shen Yizi disappeared, and she returned to her initial superiority.
Madam Du pretended to scold her: "Yingying, don't be rude!"
When she turned to Shen Yizhi, she smiled again: "Miss Shen, I'm not bragging, but in the entire Southern Region, I don't think there is another embroiderer with better embroidery skills than me. If you don't ask me to do it, no one else will be able to do it."
These words carried a threatening tone.
"Did Miss Shen draw this dress herself? If it is made, it will definitely look great on Miss Shen when she wears it."
Madam Du only said that, but after observing her carefully, she found that if you ignore the ordinary face of this woman, she is actually very pleasing to the eye.
She has a slim figure, charming temperament, black hair and fair skin. If she dresses up well, she would be a beauty.
Du Yingying rolled her eyes. Just her? Pretty? My mother really just blindly praised her.
Shen Yizhi stroked the blueprint gently, "What if I insist on not keeping it?"
Madam Du winked at her maid Xiaohong, and Xiaohong ran out, probably to call for help.
"Miss Shen, I advise you to be more sensible. In Jincheng, my words still carry a lot of weight. If I report to the authorities that you stole my blueprints, do you think the authorities will side with you or with me?"
Oh, this Miss Du really makes her look at her in a new light!
Shen Yizhi sneered, and in an instant he came behind her, grabbed her neck with his hands, and said in a sinister tone: "Report to the police? If I kill you, will you still be able to report it?"
Du Yingying was about to scream, but she gave her a cold look and she immediately covered her mouth, holding back the scream that was about to come out.
Madam Du's back was covered in cold sweat. She never expected that Miss Shen was such a ruthless person who would kill someone if they disagreed with her.
"Ms. Shen, I was blind and offended you. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with a woman like me. I don't want the blueprints anymore, and I won't report to the authorities. Please let me go. I have money, and I will give it to you if you are willing to let me go."
Madam Du was so scared that her nose and tears started flowing down her chin and into her neck, which made Shen Yizhi feel disgusted and he pushed her away.
"Okay, go get it. If I'm not satisfied—"
Shen Yizhi's aura sank, "Then your end will not be so beautiful."
At this moment, the officials Xiaohong had invited arrived, and the person in charge was the man who had been secretly having an affair with Madam Du before.
As soon as he arrived, he asked with concern: "Madam Du, what happened?"
Shen Yizhi sat steadily on the chair, playing with an embroidery needle in his hand with a slight smile on his face.
Madam Du looked at the needle and thought of Shen Yizi's speed just now. She had no doubt that it was a sharp weapon that could take her life in the blink of an eye.
"It's nothing, just a misunderstanding. I'm really sorry to trouble you, Sir Liu, to make this trip. This is a small gift from me. Sir Liu, take it and buy some wine for the brothers."
Madam Du handed a purse to Liu Ran.
The little finger tapped suggestively on the palm of his hand.
Liu Ran understood and calmly took the purse, "Okay."
He turned around and left with his men.
