Upon first seeing Lady Shen, she was satisfied. Now, hearing Lady Shen speak like this, she held her in even higher regard.
Thus, she held onto Lady Shen and said, "Sister Shen, what are you saying? You know I'm a businesswoman at heart, and what businessperson doesn't know how to make a profit? I wouldn't share dividends unless you truly deserve it! Your embroidery skills, Sister Shen, are rare indeed. I've seen the finest in the Capital City, and many embroideresses from high households are not as skilled as you."
Lady Shen, hearing this, displayed a hint of melancholy on her face: "You might not know this, Sister Wang, but this is a skill passed down in my family. My mother was the last inheritor of the Gu Family Needle Technique from Jiangnan. Many of the embroidered designs on the Dragon Phoenix Robes offered to the Imperial Palace came from the Gu family."
