Suzanna's tear-filled eyes fixated on the shattered red jade, her voice choked with emotion. "Mel, if you're angry, you can scold me or even strike me, but this red jade was hand-carved by father for me... How could you smash it?"

Tears streaming down her face, she sank to her knees, her delicate frame trembling as she reached out to gather the shattered pieces....

The three brothers exchanged concerned glances, moving to support Suzanna. "Suzie, please don't distress yourself," Carson comforted. "Although the pendant is broken, I promise to replace an exquisite raw red jade stone and carve it myself for you..." Despite being known for his singing, Carson possessed exceptional skills in jade carving.

Mrs. Shield's chest heaved with anger as she trembled. "Melody, I never changed your surname out of consideration for the Shield family! You, a misfortune, have been allowed to stay with us, which is already a great kindness. Do you still expect to be treated like Suzie? Do you think you'd deserve such blessings?"

The three Shield brothers stood in stunned silence, unable to respond immediately.

Mrs. Shield held firm beliefs in superstition, viewing Suzanna and Melody as symbols of both fortune and misfortune.

Tension filled the air, signaling that the situation teetered on the edge of spiraling out of control.

A sophisticated and graceful woman in her forties stood before the restored embroidery, adorned in an elegant embroidery dress.

She traced her fingers over the intricate stitching with delicate movements, marveling at its craftsmanship.

"Ms. Melody, the embroidery you repaired not only utilized the usual Embroidery technique. but also integrated golden thread embroidery," she remarked, her voice exuding admiration. "The dignified golden thread, enhanced by its lighter color accents, incorporates five embroidery techniques: nailing, padding, piecing, pasting, and attaching, showcasing a truly captivating mastery."

"The intricate deer motif on the reverse side is lively and inviting, starkly contrasting with the elegant lotus, yet harmonizing flawlessly. The alteration is truly ingenious!" she continued, her tone filled with appreciation for Melody's skill.

"May I inquire who was your master?" she asked calmly and confidently, commanding the attention of everyone present.

Individuals with only a basic understanding of embroidery would struggle to identify such. diverse needle techniques accurately.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Shield approached, intrigued by the conversation.

Her anger towards Melody had peaked, and she only sought to humiliate and deflate her pride.

"Melody, you were tasked with restoring Ms. Campbell's embroidery, yet you employed various haphazard needle techniques to mend it erasing her signature style entirely," Mrs. Shield interjected, her voice dripping with contempt. "This is her masterpiece; without her personal touch, it loses its essence. In truth, you have not restored this embroidery at all, making you unworthy of the reward I promised you."

"You shattered Suzie's 'Phoenix Flight, how do you intend to make amends?" Mrs. Shield demanded sternly, her voice filled with accusation and anger.

Mrs. Shield seethed, seizing upon this opportunity to inflict suffering upon Melody within the Shield family, determined to assert her dominance and punish Melody for her perceived transgressions!

Melody dismissed Mrs. Shield's remarks and turned towards the elegant woman, surprised. that someone had noticed the subtle alterations she intentionally made.

With a confident arch of her eyebrows, she declared, "It's not an error in my rather, Lily's masterpiece was embroidered incorrectly!"

alterations;

The girl's bold and striking features radiated confidence, departing from her composed and refined demeanor while restoring the embroidery.

Her words sparked murmurs and gasps among the crowd.

"How audacious of Melody! Lily is an Embroidery master; how could she have made a mistake? And if it was incorrect, wouldn't it be considered flawed? It wouldn't be appropriate for Suzanna to present it as a birthday gift!" "It is widely acknowledged that Lily is a master of embroidery, and this masterpiece was renowned for her signature style. How could she possibly have made such a mistake?"

Doubts and questions arose.

Remaining composed, Melody explained, "This double-sided embroidery should feature the 'Lotus Dew' design using the usual Embroidery technique and the 'Fortune Deers' design using the golden thread technique." "The usual embroidery is renowned for its delicate and elegant style, employing a color

"In contrast, golden thread is vibrant and colorful, characterized by bold contrasts, often employed in sacrificial and blessing scenes."

"The original deer embroidery featured accents of golden thread, with stitching that clearly indicated the intention to utilize the golden thread technique. Hence, I speculate that this embroidery piece is not Lily's final true masterpiece but a trial piece." "In simpler terms, what you see is... a flawed piece!"

It was widely understood that flawed creations were unacceptable, particularly when intended for a birthday blessing: such imperfections were strictly prohibited.

Melody adeptly highlighted the errors in the embroidery needlework with clarity and logic. Consequently, the attendees' perceptions of Suzanna shifted, becoming more nuanced.
