Give it to me!

However, when it came to the embroidery competition, Qingyu remembered it.

The Queen Mother's birthday was coming soon. In order to make her happy, the Empress decided to build a Buddha Hall in the Fahua Temple in the Capital to pray for the Queen Mother. Unlike ordinary Buddha Halls, which made Buddha statues with golden bodies, the Buddha Halls were decorated with embroidery with a new golden silk thread from the Beiqi Country.

And who could have such an honor? Of course, they had to choose a girl with excellent embroidery skills from the noble ladies in the Capital to pray for blessings for the Queen Mother.

In her previous life, Song Yuanzhu had heard that the champion of the competition could embroider the statuette for the Queen Mother's birthday and show up in front of the Empress, begging Qingyu to embroider an embroidery for Yuanzhu to participate in the competition. Song Yuanzhu said with a good reason, "My sister's reputation has been ruined. I have to win glory for the Song family. Otherwise, how can our father have the face to stay in the court?"

At that time, Song Qingyu was sad because of the destruction of her innocence. Hearing Song Qingyu's words, she felt even sadder and sadder, but she had to brace herself to plan for Song Yuanzhu. One could imagine the sadness in Qingyu's heart!

In this life, Qingyu had escaped unscathed from Princess An's Manor, and now she had broken off the engagement with Earl Zhongyong's Manor. Her situation was very different from that of her previous life.

Moreover, she had been thinking about how to make the embroidery shop famous, but now the opportunity came. Just as the saying 'one had a pillow as soon as one wanted to doze off'.

If she was able to get the champion, then would she be afraid of the embroidery shop being nameless? Therefore, she was determined to get the honor of the Queen Mother's Guanyin's statuette!

"Sister, I heard that you broke off the engagement with Earl Zhongyong's Manor, didn't you?" A voice interrupted her thoughts. Qingyu looked over and found that it was her kind and gentle sister, who was grounded?

"Elder Sister has never had a good reputation in the capital. Father had finally found a marriage for you from Earl Zhongyong's Manor. I heard that Zhou Chengling is a young and promising man. Elder Sister, what are you going to do without such a good marriage? Are you really going to marry a merchant and spend the rest of your life as a commoner?" Song Yuanzhu frowned, looking as if she felt pity for her elder sister’s suffer.

In Song Qingyu's previous life, Song Yuanzhu had liked to act like this the most. She had always whispered in Qingyu's ear how good the marriage with Earl Zhongyong's Manor was and how bad Song Qingyu had been. Over time, Qingyu also felt that she could not lose this marriage anyway, so she lost her self-esteem in front of the Zhou family and was looked down upon more and more.

Now that she had broken off the engagement with Earl Zhongyong's Manor, how could Song Yuanzhu let go of this good opportunity to suppress her.

"Since you care so much about my marriage, why didn't you come out to intercede for me when Earl Zhongyong made trouble at the door just now?" Qingyu pretended to be disappointed and aggrieved, as if she was particularly sad about the dissolution of the engagement.

As expected, Song Yuanzhu was at a loss for words. She was dying to see Song Qingyu unable to get married, which would be a great blow to Song Qingyu's reputation which would force Song Qingyu leave the Capital. In that case, the Song family would completely lose this legitimate daughter, making her, Song Yuanzhu, the only legitimate daughter of the Song family legally.

At this time, when she heard Qingyu questioning her with such grievances, she stammered after thinking for a long time, "My... my father ordered me to be grounded and I can't go out..."

Song Qingyu changed her face and said with a cold face, "Since you know that you are grounded, why did you run out now? Go back quickly. If father finds out that you are discharged from the yard without permission, I'm afraid you will be grounded for more than a month!"

Song Yuanzhu was caught off guard by Song Qingyu's sudden change of expression. It took her a long time to realize that Song Qingyu was playing a trick on her! Not only was Song Qingyu not sad about breaking off the engagement, but she was also happy to see it happen. But how was it possible? Under Yuanzhu's persuasion, Song Qingyu had fallen in love with Zhou Chengling. How could she be willing to break off the engagement with him?

Song Yuanzhu could not figure it out.

"Second Miss is not sensible, you maids are not sensible, either ? Father ordered her to be grounded. Now that she has gone out without permission, how can you maids be responsible for this?" Song Yuanzhu hated it the most when people called her Second Miss. This title reminded her that she was not the legitimate eldest daughter, and her mother was not the original wife!

In the past, Qingyu had always taken her self-esteem into consideration and called her sister or Miss. However, upon hearing Qingyu address her so abruptly today, Song Yuanzhu felt resentful very much.

But she was good at putting on makeup. "What's wrong with you? You're in a bad mood after breaking off the engagement. You shouldn't have vented your anger on me. After all, you're not likeable usually."

Her eyes turned red in an instant. She stared at Song Qingyu with great grievance.

After listening for a while, Zhang Qingtao still didn't understand the hidden meaning behind the sisters' words. She only felt that there was something wrong with what Song Yuanzhu said, so Qingtao said, "Second Miss, Qingyu is not angry. Earl Zhongyong's Manor is not a good match. Qingyu should be happy to break off the engagement. Your words are not quite appropriate."

Upon hearing Qingtao's straightforward words, Ge Zhang and Song Qingyu looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"You... You all bully me. I'll tell my father!" After that, Song Yuanzhu looked at Song Qingyu proudly, waiting for her sister to come and beg her like before.

Yuanzhu knew the weakness of Song Qingyu best. Although Song Qingyu looked calm, she actually longed for her father's care. In the past, when Song Qingyu threatened Yuanzhu, as long as Yuanzhu complained to their father, she would compromise and beg for mercy.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Song Qingyu only looked at her with a faint smile, as if she was watching Song Yuanzhu put on a show. Song Yuanzhu was completely annoyed. "Okay, you forced me to do this. Just wait and see!" After that, Song Yuanzhu lifted her skirt and ran away.

This scene confused Zhang Qingtao. "Miss Song, why did she say that we bullied her?"

Qingyu rubbed Qingtao's round head and said, "Yuanzhu has been suffering from tuberculosis since she was a child. She will get sick if something goes wrong. Don't provoke her in the future!"

"... It's so scary. I'm scared to death. She looks like a good girl. How could she have such a terrible disease?"
