Shu Yu almost gritted her teeth.
Was this a biscuit? Was this a stone for her to grind her teeth with?
Shu Yu looked at the pancake in her hand in a dilemma, considering whether to eat it.
She felt that she had been used to eating good food these past few days, which made her a little bloated. She actually couldn’t eat a biscuit that everyone else could eat.
Shu Yu lowered her head again and tried to take another bite. Only teeth marks were left on the cake, and she did not bite off a piece.

“If she has the ability, she won’t eat it.”
“How pretentious. Let’s see how long she can endure. If she doesn’t want to eat, then starve.”
“Do you think the officials will care if we go and snatch her biscuit now?”
“The five taels (monetary) of silver have already been spent. How can the officer have the time to care?”
The few of them looked at each other and were a little restless.
However, just as they were about to make their move, Shu Yu suddenly stood up and walked towards the officers who were sitting together, eating and laughing.
The fourth young lady said, “W-what does she want to do?”
Not only them, but even the old madam frowned and looked in her direction. However, she was old and her strength was not as good as a young girl’s. She did not want to speak at all.
Shu Yu walked in front of the officer, then took out a banknote worth ten taels (monetary) and handed it to them.
The officers who were talking suddenly stopped and stared at the silver notes in her hand with wide eyes.
F*ck, she still had money on her. Did that couple give it to her?
The Shu family members looked at her in horror. The smug expression on their faces had yet to fade. At this moment, they were all wearing a comical expression.
Shu Yu pursed her lips and whispered to the officers, “Here are ten taels (monetary) of silver. I’ll give them all to you. Can you continue to take care of me? That biscuit was too hard for me to eat.”
She had swelled up, swelled up, she had swelled up badly.
The officers looked at each other. One of them looked at the banknote in her hand with surprise and touched his chin.

The officer chuckled and took the ten taels (monetary) of silver. “Since you’ve already paid for the meal, we’ll let you eat better. However, we had given the old couple a discount for the five taels (monetary). In addition, you had just been exiled, so the conditions were not that harsh. Therefore, five taels (monetary) of silver could last you five days. These ten taels (monetary) of silver won’t last long.”
Shu Yu secretly sneered. No wonder it was said that these officials could get the most benefits on the road of exile. Look at this skillful move.
Shu Yu nodded. “I understand. As long as you can hold on for a few days.”
The leading officer was quite happy and immediately handed her taels (monetary) rice balls wrapped in pickled vegetables.
Shu Yu took the rice ball and thanked her. Just as she was about to turn around and go back, she heard the official who said that he would take care of her when she left the city gate say, “Miss, you have more than ten taels (monetary) of silver notes on you, right?”
Shu Yu stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him, clenching the rice ball in her hand slightly.
The other officers also turned around.
The officer sized up Shu Yu. “You’re quite bold. Aren’t you afraid that we’ll strip you naked and take away your silver notes, then leave you alone? Do you think that we are the kind of honest workers who will help you do things for money?”
