Chapter 185 Even the toughest fry aren't as tough as me



Gua66 immediately started talking excitedly.

Lord Chen's parents had a daughter when they were young.

Lord Chen's grandparents favored sons over daughters, so they abandoned their daughter and raised her instead as another family's son.

Shi Yu felt something was off when she heard this.

Why would they abandon their first child? Are they in such a hurry?

Gua66, [That's because Lord Chen's mother's pregnancy wasn't going well, and the doctor said she might have difficulty giving birth later.]

Shi Yu: [Oh, I see.]

What about Lord Chen's parents' daughter?

[Hehehe...] Gua66 laughed.

Right next to Lord Chen was that concubine.

【Hahaha…】This time, Shi Yu couldn’t help but laugh too.

How could things in this world be so coincidental?

Hahaha……

Shi Yu, [Gua66, seeing all the terrible things happening in their family makes me feel much more at ease.]

Let's go out and wish them a Happy New Year.

Shi Yu's little body walked happily towards Lord Chen in the living room.

At this moment, Lord Chen saw that Shi Yu's expression had completely changed.

With the arrival of this little tyrant, the peace that his family had maintained for so long was suddenly thrown into chaos.

When Madam Chen and his concubine saw Shi Yu, they also had indescribable expressions on their faces.

"Happy New Year, and may your family be blessed with happiness." The little child imitated the adults and wished Lord Chen a Happy New Year.

Lord Chen was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

"Madam, Madam, quickly give Princess Shengping a red envelope, a large one."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Madam Chen quickly realized what she meant and went back to put 10,000 taels of silver notes into a purse for Shi Yu.

"Young Princess, please don't go around talking about my family's affairs," Madam Chen pleaded.

"We will handle this properly and will not let you down."

ah?

Shi Yu looked up at them with a puzzled expression, then blinked in confusion.

What are you saying?

How could she not know?

Never mind.

As long as there are red envelopes, that's fine.

Shi Yu happily took the red envelope and left. When she opened it outside, she found that there was actually 10,000 taels of silver inside.

At the same time, Lord Chen quickly sent someone out to inform them of Princess Shengping's visit to pay New Year's greetings.

Shi Yu then visited two more companies, and both went quite smoothly.

Afterwards, she went to the residence of her old acquaintance, the Minister of Works.

The Minister of Works is afraid of his wife; he hasn't even earned back the money he lost in the last embezzlement.

Upon hearing that Shi Yu had come to offer New Year's greetings, he immediately waved his hand and told his servants.

"Not seen, not seen, not seen."

“If it weren’t for her, my wife would have ignored me for so long last time.”

"I haven't even earned back the money I lost yet, and she still wants to make money off me."

"No way, no way, tell her to go back right now."

"Who should go back?" Shi Yu, riding a large dog and accompanied by her bodyguard Shi Yan, suddenly appeared in front of the Minister of Works.

"You have no money, you're lying."

"Your wife lost 3,000 taels of silver playing cards the other day."

“A few days ago, your wife went to the casino and lost 12,000 yuan.”

"Oh, now she's almost gambled away the imperial gift that the emperor bestowed upon you!"

"What?" The Minister of Works was alarmed upon hearing this.

"That spendthrift woman, how could she gamble away everything!"

“That was a gift from the emperor. If it gets discovered, I could lose my head.”

The Minister of Works was extremely anxious and immediately sent his servants to find his wife.

As a result, the servants searched everywhere but could not find any trace of his wife.

"My lord, I can't find Madam!" a servant rushed in to report.

At this moment, Shi Yu chuckled.

"If you can't find it, you can come to me."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Works immediately looked to Shi Yu for help.

Shi Yu said, "I've already wished you a Happy New Year, but you haven't given me a red envelope yet."

"Come, come, someone, give Princess Shengping a big red envelope!" The Minister of Works reacted and immediately said.

Shi Yu received a 1,000-tael red envelope from the Minister of Works before smiling and speaking.

"Your wife is hiding in a corner of the backyard playing cards with someone."

"You'd better hurry up, she's almost lost her belt right now."

After saying this with a grin, Shi Yu rode her big dog to the next house.

Some people were unwilling to give Shi Yu a red envelope, or thought they could just give the little guy a tael or two of silver.

Without exception, Shi Yu got to know them all.

If anyone refuses to give money when she visits them for the New Year, Shi Yu will definitely cry at each one she visits.

Soon, she arrived at the home of her old acquaintance, the Minister of Revenue.

The Minister of Revenue was famously wealthy.

The latrines were all made of gold.

Although no one has said it explicitly, everyone knows about it.

Behind his back, everyone called the Minister of Revenue "Lord Jin of the Outhouse."

As soon as Shi Yu arrived, before he even entered the house, the gate of the Minister of Revenue's residence was immediately closed.

The capital city isn't too big, but it's not too small either. If you exchange information, you can quickly find out everything.

Knowing that Shi Yu was going out to rob people today, many adults had already gone into hiding.

Of course, some people sincerely prepared banknotes in advance.

When facing knowledgeable and sensible people, Shi Yu always generously offers her blessings and says a few kind words.

But Shi Yu was troubled when faced with people who didn't need her blessing.

Sending New Year's greetings is also physically demanding.

Can't they be more understanding of how hard she works?
