The next day, Xu Ling rushed into Meng Clan Embroidery Shop with a group of servants. Seeing her angry face, the shopkeeper knew that she was coming to make trouble, so he hurried to stop her, but was kicked away.

"Meng Si, Meng Si, come out!" She rushed into the VIP room on the second floor and shouted.

"Miss Xu, what can I do for you?" Meng Si and Li Jiarong walked out of the screen together, followed by Li Xiudian and Meng Zhong. The four of them frowned and looked unhappy, but they didn't dare to lose their temper because of Xu Ling's identity. Her father had been guarding the city for many years, killing countless bandits. The pamphlet recording his military achievements was piled up as high as a man, which could be said to be the real local emperor of the city. Li Ran is Imperial Concubine Min's brother. So what? He had to yield to Admiral Xu when he came to the province.

"What's the matter with me? Look at the tattered embroidery by yourself!" Xu Ling threw the valuable peony dress on the ground, and said angrily, "I made a fool of myself yesterday with your dress. Are you the best embroider in the city? Do you think you are qualified?!"

"Is there anything wrong with this dress?" Meng Si picked up the dress, looking worried.

Liu Xiudian looked at her sympathetically and reproached, "Miss Xu, let's have a talk. Everyone can see how skillful Meng Si is. If there is something wrong with this dress, you can point it out and we can improve it. Don't hurt the harmony."

"This dress is fine. What's wrong with it?" Li Jiarong grabbed the dress and looked at it again and again. She pointed at Xu Ling's nose and scolded, "Xu Ling, are you here to make trouble on purpose? Sisi is my good friend. You can bully her! I, Li Jiarong, am not afraid of you!"

Xu Ling grabbed Li Jiarong's finger and pulled it down hard. She said in a ferocious tone, "What are you going to do? Hit me? If you are not afraid of me, will I be afraid of you? Meng Si's skill was even inferior to that of the newly learned embroiderer. The dress she made was luxurious and vulgar. How could she call herself the best embroider in the province? I think the title of the best embroiderer must be given by you!"

"Who she can't compare with? Make it clear!" Li Jiarong withdrew her finger and grimaced in pain.

"She is not as good at embroidery as Lin Dan. Last time when she was in the Faxing Temple, she had the nerve to say that Lin Dan's embroidery skill was only good, and even the disciple of Meng Clan Embroidery Shop was not as good as that of her. Can a disciple of Meng Clan Embroidery Shop make the dress Xu Qian wore?" Xu Ling gnashed her teeth in anger.

"Do you mean that Miss Xu was beaten by a dress made of wisteria flowers which is more beautiful than my sister's?" Seeming to understand Xu Ling's intention, Meng Zhong said politely.

"Yes, you made me a fool at the family feast. I won't let you go!" Xu Ling snatched the peony dress and stepped hard on it. Then she knocked down several embroidered frames standing next to her. She behaved overbearingly.

Meng Si's face turned pale with fear. She took a step back. Li Xiudian quickly protected her and glared at Xu Ling. Meng Zhong pulled Li Jiarong behind him and continued, "May I know the style of Lin Dan's dress? How can you compare it with my sister's carefully made dress? You know, to make this dress, my sister used hundreds of pearls, gems, and emeralds, and also used the Cantonese embroidery technique. She also added a lot of newly developed embroidery lines. No matter in workmanship or material, they are absolutely first-class."

As he spoke, he picked up the dress, patted it gently, and spread it on the embroidery rack.

The customers who were attracted by the noise all craned their necks to see what was going on. This dress was so elegant and brilliant. If she could wear it and walk around, she would wake up with a smile in her dream, but Xu Ling was not satisfied. Then what kind of dress did she want to wear? Fairy's feather robe?
