She didn't want her to know because she was afraid she would cause trouble.

However, how could this possibly escape the notice of Shi Yu, who possesses the ultimate gossip-eating tool?

"Yuyu, Yuyu, I know why your mother and sister don't want to take you out anymore," Gua66 said excitedly.

Shi Yu, [Why, why? Tell me quickly!]

Gua66 deliberately cleared his throat, mimicking a human's manner.

[Cough cough cough.]

Your mother received an invitation from her close friend, Lady Liu, the wife of Minister Wang, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

[She was invited to attend the 60th birthday banquet of Lord Wang's mother today.]

[Many officials and their families from the capital were at the banquet; your mother wanted to take your sister out to broaden her horizons.]

"I can go to the birthday banquet too!" Shi Yu immediately exclaimed excitedly.

I could draw a circle and curse her, you old hag.

[He really is that literal old codger, hehehe...]

But they won't take me now.

[Waaaaah... I'm not Mommy's precious little darling anymore, waaaah, I'm so sad...]

As Shi Yu spoke, two large tears actually welled up in her eyes.

Just as she shed a tear, a sudden downpour began outside the courtyard, startling He Qiuniang and Shi Chengya.

He Qiuniang asked, "Why did it suddenly turn from sunny to rainy?"

Shi Chengya said, "This isn't a time of heavy rain in the summer."

[Wow, the tears really did make it rain!] Shi Yu exclaimed in her sweet, childlike voice.

The last time she cried was countless millions of years ago.

She almost forgot that the emotional fluctuations of this powerful abyss dragon, who possessed profound merit, could sometimes trigger extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth.
