Yingzi stopped there, not continuing any further.
Weilan was startled, her brows furrowed. Yingzi seemed to be hinting at something else, "What else?"
Yingzi hesitated for a moment, as if debating whether to reveal more.
"What's there for a grown man to mumble about, just say it outright," Weilan said sternly.
Yingzi looked at her and saw that, despite her frail body, her eyes were astonishingly bright and sharp.
Yingzi panicked inside and explained, "The matter with the photo was indeed a deception we created.
Zhuang Yuezhou has always wanted you to marry Young Master Zhuang, to become a couple who supports each other through thick and thin, and to carry on the legacy of Jiangnan's number one embroidery.
