Gu Dai's eyes lit up as she began to ask, "Master Zhen Chan, are you willing to..."
Before she could finish, Zhen Chan interjected with a firm, "Yes."
"I came here to tell you that I believe you're not a fraud. I'm willing to go to the Capital to develop the Suzhou embroidery industry. Also, I owe you an apology for having turned you away at my door," Zhen Chan confessed.
Gu Dai shook her head softly, "It's alright. It was the fault of those who deceived you in the past. Without them, you wouldn't have been so guarded."
Gu Dai, looking at Zhen Chan, asked, "Is there anywhere where you feel unwell? Let me take a look."
Even though they weren't in a hospital, Zhen Chan knew of Gu Dai's medical skills and her role in saving many, which softened her gaze towards her.
"I'm perfectly fine," Zhen Chan reassured. "In fact, I should thank you. If you hadn't climbed over the wall to find me and protected me, I wouldn't have survived the earthquake."
