Madam Du's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

He replied quietly, "Don't worry, I won't run away."

When Shen Yizhi saw her like that, he actually felt a strange sense of secret joy in his heart.

Does she really have the potential to be a villain?

After a while, Madam Du came out holding a small box. When she opened it, it was full of banknotes, gold and silver, and jewelry.

Shen Yizi took a rough look and thought that it was at least several hundred thousand taels.

Madam Du has made a lot of money as an embroiderer over the years.

"Miss Shen, everything is here." Madam Du pushed the box towards her with a painful look.

The two hands resting on the box were soft, white and tender, without even a callus.

Cocoon——

Shen Yizhi's eyes suddenly fixed. As an embroiderer, how could she have such a pair of pampered hands? In her previous life, she was a doctor, and her hands were left with marks that were difficult to erase because she often performed surgeries and experiments.

A person's career can often be seen through his hands.

Although she often collects herbs to treat illnesses and performs surgeries, her practice has kept her body nourished by spiritual energy, so her hands are as white as jade and without any calluses.

Madam Du is just an ordinary person. She has been an embroiderer for so many years. Even if she takes good care of herself, it is impossible for her hands to be free of marks, right? Shen Yizhi asked Madam Du to stretch out her palm and spread it out so that she could see it more clearly.

There really isn't a callus.

The owner of the Embroidery Pavilion, the most famous embroiderer in the southern region, actually has a pair of hands that are so white and tender like a girl. Is it a natural gift, or... is there another secret? "Mrs. Du's hands are so well maintained that you can't tell they are the hands of an embroiderer at all."

Just as Shen Yizhi said this, Madam Du suddenly retracted her hand, a flash of panic flashed across her face, and she forced a smile: "Yes, is that so? Miss Shen's hands are really beautiful, straight and slender, soft and white, like water onions."

Shen Yizi smiled faintly. This reaction was a bit abnormal.

This Madam Du has something to hide.

She was not a curious person, but now that she had encountered it, if she didn't find out the truth, she might always be worried about it.

He held a truth pill between his fingers and handed it to Madam Du: "Eat it."

“What is this?”

"nice one."

After coming out of the Tattoo Pavilion, Shen Yizi looked at the sun in the sky, and the coldness in his heart was dispelled a little.

She never expected that she would dig out such a shocking truth from Madam Du's mouth.

This Madam Du was actually just a fake! The real Madam Du was someone else!

The Du family can be said to be a family of embroidery. However, by the time it was passed down to Du's father's generation, the Du family had already declined.

The Du family has two daughters, Du Tang is the youngest, and she has an older sister, Du Li. It was under Du Li's leadership that the Du family regained its former glory, no, it should be said that it became even more glorious.

Later, Du Li found a live-in son-in-law, and Du Tang married into a wealthy family. However, within two years, Du Tang became a widow. She did not give birth to a child after her marriage, so she returned to her parents' home and planned to marry again.

At this time, both Du's father and mother had passed away, and the Du family was managed by Du Li. She was busy with the business of Wenxiu Pavilion and was busy improving her embroidery skills, so she neglected the affairs of the family.

While she was working so hard, her widowed sister, Du Li, had an affair with her husband and became pregnant.

After all, the truth cannot be hidden. Du Li discovered this. No, it should be said that Du Tang let her find out on purpose.

She was a strong-willed and tenacious woman who could not tolerate any injustice. She wanted to divorce her husband immediately and send Du Tang to live in another village to avoid being upset by him.

But at this time, she found out that she was pregnant and couldn't help but hesitate.

However, Du Tang conspired with his brother-in-law to put Du Li under house arrest and announced to the public that she was seriously ill.

After Du Li gave birth to the child, Du Tang snatched the child away and kept Du Li locked up, claiming that she died of illness and had not survived. He even gave her a fake funeral! Afterwards, Du Tang threatened Du Li with the child, forcing her to embroider, and then took the embroidery for himself, saying it was his own work.

What's even more shameless is that she abandoned Du Li's child and used her own child, Du Yingying, to impersonate Du Li, and let Du Yingying act in front of Du Li.

Perhaps it was a kinship inheritance, Du Yingying was young but also a ruthless character. She helped Du Tang put on a show in front of Du Li and tricked Du Li into letting Du Tang control her for her safety.

However, the mother and daughter laughed at Du Li's stupidity behind her back and exploited her even more cruelly.

Because of Du Li, Du Tang, who usually seldom held an embroidery needle, had such a reputation today. How did she treat Du Li? She locked her up in a dark room underground. She was still worried that she would have a chance to escape and expose herself, so she tied her feet with iron chains and made her eat, drink, defecate and urinate in that dark room, eliminating any chance of her escaping.

However, despite this, Du Li still created many amazing embroidery works.

Knowing all this, Shen Yizhi almost crushed Du Tang's throat.

To be able to do such a cruel thing to one's own sister, one is not worthy of being called a human being!

Du family.

In the dark room in the basement of the courtyard where Du Tang lived.

Du Li leaned against the wall, embroidering in the light coming in through a narrow window.

It was very dim in the darkroom, but she had gotten used to it over the years. However, her eyes had been overwhelmed by embroidering day and night for many years, and she often felt as if there was a layer of something in front of her eyes and she could not see clearly.

She looked out the window for a while, and when she had calmed down, she continued to bury her head in her needlework.

Yingying said that this Guanyin embroidery must be completed by the fifth day of next month.

That day was the old lady's birthday. If she could win the old lady's favor with this Guanyin embroidery, there would be a great chance that she would marry into the He family.

The He family is one of the most wealthy families in Jincheng. I wonder how many young ladies of marriageable age want to marry into the family and become the noble young lady.

Du Li knew about the He family. More than ten years ago, the He family was one of the most prominent families in Jincheng, and the head of the He family had great business skills. Presumably, over the past ten years, the He family had reached a new level.

Moreover, she had met the eldest lady of the He family several times. She was an open-minded and cheerful person. If she had a mother-in-law like her, her life as a daughter-in-law would be much easier in the future.

If Yingying could marry into such a family, she would enjoy endless blessings in the future.

Thinking of this, Du Li's hand movements became more and more dazzling.
