Chapter 53
Mu Yunyao did not answer her question . “Today, I came to let Lady try on the outfit . Why don’t you put it on?”
The servant at the side could not resist interrupting Mu Yunyao . “We have already seen what the outfit looks like, will putting it on make any difference? If Lady wears a dress that looks similar to other commoner girls’ outfits at the banquet, it would be very embarrassing!”
Lady Jin did not look very happy either . “I really like the design of this clothing . You may follow Yin Hong to get your reward . Next time, if there is a chance, I will still look for you . ”
Mu Yunyao still had a faint smile on her face . “If Lady puts on the dress, you will know that I am not boasting shamelessly . ”
“How can a little girl such as you be so rude? Lady already said that you may leave . Follow me, you will definitely still get your reward . ” The servant, who Lady Jin called her as Yin Hong, scolded Mu Yunyao loudly .
Mu Yunyao did not move . She still had a very confident look .
“Since it’s like that, I might as well just try it on . ” Lady Jin suddenly spoke . She motioned to Yin Hong to pick up the clothing and turned around to go into a room .
Yin Hong said with an indignant tone of voice, “Lady, you are too nice to that little girl . The provincial governor’s wife’s banquet is such an important event!”
“This outfit was not easily made . All I’m going to do is try it on, it’s not like I will lose anything . Why do you have so much to say?” Lady Jin had an odd expression on her face .
“Your servant has said too much . ”
At first, Lady Jin did not take the dress too seriously . But, when the dress was on her, she felt shocked and happy . Even Yin Hong was speechless .
This outfit was incredibly fitting on her . The collar, the shoulders, the sleeves, the waist, the skirt……everything was perfect . Lady Jin felt immense regret . If she had know how perfect this dress was, no matter what, she would not have let Lady Chen look at this outfit .
As she thought, she started to walk out of the room . But after she took just two steps, she heard Yin Hong’s cry, “La……Lady! Look, quick look! Your dress!”
Lady Jin looked down . On her skirt, there seemed to be a faint gold colour, but it disappeared quickly . “What was that?”
“It was golden butterflies! When Lady moved, it looked as if there were golden butterflies flying out from Lady’s dress!”
Lady Jin quickly walked again . As she walked, she looked down . “What genius craftsmanship!” She finally understood why Mu Yunyao said that they would never be able to copy the essence of this outfit . If she doesn’t walk, no one would be able to see the butterflies . Who would be able to copy it then?
Lady Jin carefully took off the dress and changed back into her own outfit . She commanded Yin Hong to keep the dress safe . “I will wear this dress to the banquet five days later . ”
When Mu Yunyao saw Lady Jin enter the room with a satisfied smile, she knew that she had already found out about the essence of the outfit .
“You naughty girl, you must have figured out Lady Chen’s aim and purposely let her look at the dress, am I right?” Lady Jin had a very warm tone this time . As she spoke, she motioned to the servants to bring out the tea .
“Usually, there are only those same few styles of clothing . I thought that using those styles as the base may eventually lead to creating clothes similar to others’ . So I decided to be creative and did my research . Eventually, I ended up with this . If Lady really likes it, you can just reward me even more silver . ”
(T/Nonsense: At the end of the day, our MC only cares about money and Su Qing . )
“Yes, yes, I will definitely give you more silver?” Lady Jin laughed . She warmly invited Mu Yunyao to stay for a meal, but Mu Yunyao knew that she could not overstep her boundaries and thus quickly rejected .
Even when Mu Yunyao left, Lady Jin was still all smiles .
Yin Hong could bear it no more, “Lady, it’s just a single piece of clothing, yet you rewarded her five hundred silver . Isn’t it too much?”
“Yin Hong, could it be that because you have been my servant for too long, you start to have so many opinions?”
“Your servant wouldn’t dare!” Yin Hong dropped onto her knees, her expression was filled with horror . “Your servant was afraid that since Lady really liked that girl, you would make her your servant and replace me . ”
“You don’t have to worry, no matter how talented that girl may be, she will never be able to replace you . ” Mu Yunyao has such a strong personality, how could she ever want to bow down and serve others?
