Jun Mochen suddenly looked surprised the second he saw the embroidery of The Orchid Pavilion. He examined every detail and said, “This miss should have a solid foundation in calligraphy. Otherwise, she couldn’t complete a product that was so much similar to the original art. Although it only scratches the surface, neither does it convey the essence of the original work nor its thoughts, this needlework was good enough. Well done.”

“Thanks to Young Master Jun. Your calligraphy is worldly famous. If you could instruct me somehow. I would be so gratified.” Ye Wanxue smiled and bowed politely. Her smile was gentle, but she was smug when she turned to Ye Wanrou. She thought, “Even I’m always behind you in embroidery, I could still highlight my performance.”

Old Lady Ye introduced happily, “Young Master Jun. This is Ye Wanxue, the Second Miss in our Ye Family, and she has looked up to your name in calligraphy for a long time.”

Jun Mochen smiled slightly, which was so graceful.

Ye Wanfu stared at Ye Wanxue with envy and anger as she was lagged behind in embroidery, and she even asked someone to embroider for her instead. However, she dared not to be too outstanding since Ye Wanxue might tell the truth, and Ye Wanxue would never give up the chance of attacking her.

All in all, Ye Wanfu’s ‘Lotus Picture’ became nothing to the former two, but she was still happy because the next one was Ye Muxi.

She thought, “I have you to be the last one, and I think mine is good enough though. So stupid. I wheedled you to embroider a crap product easily. If Old Lady saw your work, how could you wrap it up?”

Ye Muxi had to receive punishments since she disgraced Family Ye in front of outsiders. Ye Wanfu became smug when thinking of these.

"Next." Old Lady pointed at Ye Muxi, but she was certainly lack of excitement now.

Ye Muxi bowed slightly and took out her work. Two handmaidens unfolded it, and a scenery of summer lotus pond showed.

It was lively and fine. This work was equal to a top-class product, but then Jun Mochen frowned and said, "Turn it over and have a look."

The two handmaidens turned it over, which showed exactly the same scenery of summer lotus as what they just saw on the front.

“Double-sided embroidery?” Jun Mochen was shocked a little bit, “Isn’t this a secret skill only known among embroidering staffs in the Palace? How could anyone in your Ye Family know?”

Old Lady Ye was astounding. Double-sided embroidery required more proficient techniques than micro-embroidery, and how could Ye Muxi know this?

The first idea that jumped into the Old Lady’s mind was----she found someone else to embroider it for her only to be in the limelight. She was now very dissatisfied with Ye Muxi, but she dared not to expose her lie in front of outsiders.

That would be such a shame.

“Yes, Young Master Jun. My mother was trained by an embroidering staff from the Palace, and my mother taught me.” Ye Muxi replied confidently.

Jun Mochen said a "huh" and then he continued, "That's the reason. I never expected Family Ye has cultivated so many talents. Old Lady, you are such a great mentor.”

"Young Master Jun, you are overpraising me." Old Lady Ye was in a slight huff, but she wore a smile that seemed to say she really enjoyed this praise. No matter what, she couldn't lose her face in front of Jun Mochen.

Ye Wanrou and Ye Wanxue were gazing at this double-sided lotus picture in shock, and they were all clear to know that Ye Muxi was not capable of embroidering such thing, so it had to be her mother assisting her. They were thinking about how to expose this truth. Then they heard Ye Wanfu saying angrily.

“Grandma! Ye Muxi was cheating! She couldn’t do the double-sided embroidery, so this has to be her mother’s work.”

Old Lady Ye’s look was rigid now. She didn’t mean to unveil this truth in front of her guests. But now it was over. She then had to vent her complaint and anger to Ye Muxi, blaming her ambition to stand in the limelight on what she was not capable of at all, which really disgraced Family Ye in front of outsiders.

“Ye Muxi, how dare you cheat? What about the principles of being honest?” Old Lady Ye was furious on site.
