Chapter 24 — That Day of Reconciliation, the God of War Former Husband Resolved Not to Let Go

After receiving that high-priced order, my spirit immediately lifted. All big and small matters in the Tu Ward were left to Xuan Dao and his close disciples to handle, while I poured all my energy into that giant embroidered Guan Yin screen. Choosing materials, sketching, mixing colors, splitting silk... Every step we do ourselves, trying to achieve perfection. The most difficult part when embroidering the Guan Yin statue is the face. Kind-hearted kindness, dignified compassion - all are in the microscopic changes of each needle and thread. I locked myself in my room, pondered over the drawing day and night, wasted countless embroidery threads, and finally caught that divine destiny. Time passes day by day. We almost forget day and night, forget fatigue. Every day, Xuan Dao changes the dish to stew with nutrients for me. Watching me lose weight one round after another makes me cry, but it doesn't help anything. On the Huo palace side, sometimes Ly mama would ask someone to bring a few messages. It was said that Mrs. Huo's body was much better and was able to get out of bed and walk. Saying that the general... is still the same as before, quiet and quiet, but at least eats and drinks on time. After listening, I just said "um" and then continued to bow my head next to the embroidery frame. What happened to Hoac Quyet is no longer in our world. Finally, on the day before the delivery deadline, the Guan Yin screen that had consumed all my heart and soul had its last stitch of embroidery completed. When I put the slender embroidery needle back on the thread board, my whole body immediately went limp and slid to the ground, my back was wet with cold sweat. Xuan Dao and his disciples hurriedly rushed in. When they saw the Guan Yin painting on that embroidery frame - lifelike, with a solemn appearance - everyone was stunned! "Oh my god! Miss! This... this is truly like coming to life!" Xuan Dao covered her mouth, so excited that her speech was confused. "Master! Beautiful... so beautiful! I... I don't even dare to breathe..." The few disciples looked even more stunned. I smiled tiredly. But my heart was filled with a huge sense of accomplishment and relief as if a burden had been lifted. Done! Eight thousand taels... finally have support! The next day, the person sent by the benefactor arrived at the door on time to pick up the goods and pay all the remaining silver. When the thick, heavy stack of checks fell into my hands, my heart that had been hanging in the air for more than two months finally completely returned to its original position. After seeing people off, I immediately took the check, called Xuan Dao, and ran straight to the Biao family's casino. When the Biao family saw that I appeared on time and brought eight thousand taels of silver checks - both capital and interest were not missing a penny - besides being surprised, I was also very happy. Without saying a word, he immediately returned the debt paper and the land deed of the Tu Ward's house that he had mortgaged before, and pretended to be polite and said a few things like "Miss So is really talented" and "will visit often in the future" to save face. I was too lazy to pretend to be polite to him, so after taking my things back I turned around and left. Stepping out of the large door filled with tobacco smoke and the mixed smell of alcohol of the casino, standing under the bright sunlight, I took a deep breath of free air. The huge mountain weighing heavily in my heart has finally been completely lifted! "Miss! We finally... finally don't need to live in fear anymore!" Xuan Dao hugged the wooden box containing star fruit and burst into tears with joy. “That's right… finally free.” I raised my head to look at the deep blue sky, revealing my first truly relieved, peaceful smile in a very long time. After settling the debt, getting back the land contract of the Tu Phuong, my life seemed to return to its original trajectory once again. The reputation of Cam Tam Tu Phuong, thanks to that heavenly Guan Yin screen, has finally completely resounded in the royal family of the upper capital! Orders flew in like snowfall, including many formal items that specifically requested me to embroider them myself. I was so busy that my feet couldn't touch the ground, but I was willing to volunteer. Calf

There was gradually no more news from the Huo palace side. The last time Mama Ly asked someone to bring a message to her, she said that Mrs. Huo's body had completely improved, and Huo Quyet... seemed to gradually regain some vitality, no longer being absent-minded all day, and occasionally even going out to the yard to walk around a few times.
