Chapter 147: Yu Wuyou, You Really Made Me Look Hard!
A maid carefully dried his hair.
Qin Wanwan sat in her daddy’s arms writing a letter.
She wrote two letters.
One was for Brother Yuanli to deliver tomorrow by Snowflake.
Another one was for Daddy.
Hmm… Her handwriting hadn’t improved much.
After Shang Wuyang’s hair was dry, he held Little Fatty and went to sleep.
He slept so soundly that he only woke up when the sun was high in the sky the next day.
He left after finishing his lunch.
With news of Yu Wuyou, they had to catch him!
After Qin Wanwan had Snowflake deliver the letter to the Imperial Palace, she took a group of animals to the next door.
But… Father Rong had also gone out to work.
Qin Wanwan realized belatedly, “Oh right, Daddy is an official and has to go to work.”
It’s just that Father Rong’s schedule seemed very flexible before, and she had overlooked this.
Keke: “Is Little Chubby Cub bored?”
Qin Wanwan propped her chin with both hands and nodded.
“Yes, Daddy isn’t here, and Brother Yuanli and the others haven’t come out, so Wanwan is bored alone.”
“Roar!”
Big Goldy rubbed against Qin Wanwan, “Why are you bored? Aren’t we here to keep you company?”
Wanwan perked up: “Let’s go play with Little Red.”
Little Red must miss her.
Their carriage rumbled away, and from a certain alley behind them, two people emerged.
“We’re here to catch her? Is it that bird?”
“She speaks so fluently, it must be her. But the employer didn’t mention that the child has large fierce beasts with her. Isn’t this suicide?”
“Let’s tell the employer about this first. We need more money, or we won’t do it.”
At this moment, Qin Wanwan, sitting in the carriage, shivered slightly.
She rubbed the fluffy little fox, mumbling, “I feel something bad!”
Keke: “What bad thing? I’ll peck him to death!”
The palm-sized parrot spoke menacingly.
Qin Wanwan: “I don’t know.”
Little Qilin quickly forgot the chilly feeling from a moment ago and was already contemplating what food to get from the manor.
Upon arriving at the manor, Little Red happily came out to greet them.
The steward smiled and said to Qin Wanwan, “Miss, you’ve arrived at just the right time. A hunter father and son from Zhuangjiagou brought some things, saying they were gifts of gratitude for you. I was thinking of bringing them to you.”
Qin Wanwan was curious: “What is it? Let me see what they brought.”
They were all things from the mountains, like wild chestnuts and pine nuts. They weren’t precious, but they were thoughtful.
Qin Wanwan asked him, “Daddy sent them bows, right?”
“Yes, yes, Master instructed me to deliver them myself.”
That’s good.
Looking at the pine nuts, Qin Wanwan felt a craving.
“Keke, I want to eat pine nut candy.”
Keke waved its little wings: “Arrange it!”
So everyone got busy.
The pine nuts were stir-fried until they opened.
Raw pine nuts do not open; shelling them is particularly troublesome.
Before stir-frying, the pine nuts need to be soaked in warm water.
However, a large portion of the stir-fried pine nuts still didn’t open, so they had to be cracked one by one with stones.
One had to control the force, or they could be crushed into tiny pieces.
Qin Wanwan sat on a small stool, gently smashing pine nuts with a small stone in her hand.
The pine nut kernels others extracted were placed in containers, but the ones she extracted went into her own mouth.
Qin Wanwan hummed, stating that she was a super-super good child for not taking from others’ bowls!
Although the process of extracting pine nuts was a bit troublesome, Qin Wanwan loved the fragrant pine nut candy made at the end.
In her excitement, she rewarded them with small gold melon seeds.
Daddy Shang gave them to her, and she had quite a few in her small purse.
The small gold melon seeds were not only beautiful but also solid.
Qin Wanwan ate her pine nut candy with a crunch, looking at the desolate mountain forest outside, and felt a bit of longing for the golden monkeys.
But she didn’t want to climb mountains anymore; it was too tiring.
However, Qin Wanwan never expected that while she didn’t go to find the golden monkeys, they would come to her.
A group of beautiful golden monkeys descended the mountain and headed towards the manor.
The entire manor was alarmed.
“Why have so many monkeys come down the mountain?!”
Then they watched in shock as the monkeys ran towards Qin Wanwan.
The steward broke out in a cold sweat, hoping that the young lady would be alright!
Fortunately, the monkeys had no intention of hurting anyone; instead, they seemed familiar with their precious young lady.
When the fluffy little golden monkeys squeaked and hugged Qin Wanwan, she herself was a bit taken aback.
“How did you find your way here?”
Her soft voice held a hint of surprise.
“Squeak, squeak…”
The golden monkeys pointed to Snowflake in the sky and gestured animatedly.
“Oh, so you followed Snowflake.”
The steward stood at the doorway, and the large monkeys at the door eyed him warily.
Steward: ………
Do you still consider yourselves the owners here?!
“Miss Wanwan, are you alright?”
Qin Wanwan waved her hand at him, her eyes curved into a smile, looking very happy.
“I’m fine, Uncle Steward. Look, they are very well-behaved.”
Little Qilin showed him a little monkey she was holding.
The little monkey cooperated with a squeak.
Seeing this, the steward was no longer worried.
After all, Miss was accompanied by quite a few animals; both the Great Lion and the enormous Eagle were more dangerous than these monkeys.
Qin Wanwan held the little golden monkey’s paw; the little fellow stood almost as tall as her.
“Come, I’ll show you around my daddy’s manor and introduce you to my companions.”
The large bird that followed you is called Snowflake, it’s a Sea-Eastern Green, and it’s incredibly powerful at hunting.
“This is Eagle Boss, isn’t it huge!”
Eagle Boss looked down at the monkeys, folding its wings and standing in place, looking handsome and proud.
It was clearly a bird of prey.
The monkeys were a little scared because this super large bird looked like it might eat them.
“Chirp!”
Eagle Boss spread its wings, and a group of monkeys were instantly terrified and scattered.
They dispersed so quickly, some jumping onto the rafters, some hanging on the display shelves or stools inside the house, and some hugging the pillars.
They all vigilantly stared at Eagle Boss.
Qin Wanwan scratched her head: “Eagle Boss doesn’t eat you, it’s full of food at home.”
Eagle Boss’s eyes darted around; it had only stretched its wings.
Let’s go, let’s go outside and have a look.
As it started to move, its handsomeness vanished, replaced by the silly appearance of a large ground chicken.
While Qin Wanwan was having fun at the manor, on the other side, Shang Wuyang truly lived up to his reputation as a man with a vast intelligence network.
Yu Wuyou, still disguised as a beggar, was apprehended.
On the outskirts of a temple in Shangjing, Yu Wuyou, surrounded by people, was diligently maintaining his beggar disguise.
“Sirs, I’m just a beggar, why are you arresting me? I don’t have a single copper coin on me for you to rob.”
“Clap, clap, clap…”
A perfunctory round of applause sounded, and Shang Wuyang, dressed expensively, walked over.
He was like a lazy big cat, seemingly nonchalant yet exuding an oppressive aura.
“Yu Wuyou, you’ve made me look for you for quite a long time.”
