Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

Chapter 133: An Inescapable Marriage

In order to avoid being beaten, she had to stay in the house obediently. Even her mother did not allow her to read or learn to read, because reading too much would make her disobedient, just like her brother, who would grow wings and fly away.

Because her last name was Zhou, her mother hated her, but when she was normal, her mother loved her very much, so this left a huge shadow in the little girl's heart. Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder how great it would be if her mother was really crazy. Then she would be free and no longer have to be bound in such a small courtyard or a small room. She would even be beaten when Zhang Qianqian was in a bad mood.

However, seeing her brother being able to come and go freely, and even directly threatening her mother, left a great shock in her little heart, and a seed of desire to completely get rid of this place was planted in her. She even clearly remembered every word her brother said, as well as the content of the words. Although she doesn't understand it very well now, one day she will slowly grow up like a towering tree.

After Zhou Qingyun collected his thoughts, he looked at the empty hall. No one dared to come over. For a moment, he was surrounded by a lonely atmosphere, but he soon came to his senses. He couldn't always immerse himself in the past. Even his mother would not occupy too much of his time. But when he thought of the child snuggling under the bed, he finally felt a little soft-hearted, because he remembered the time when he escaped.

"An Qi, send someone to watch over the little princess. If the concubine still beats her, bring the child into the palace and let her be my weak spot and raise her in the palace."

Because the Emperor has always wanted to find a weak spot, this child can be used as a shield. Life in the palace is a hundred times better than life in Prince Rui's mansion. But the little child will have to leave his parents from now on.

The emperor had already arranged a marriage for him, with the eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo. He had seen this person before, and she looked like a gentle and docile woman. The Duke of Anguo was a veteran who had fought in the battlefields and held considerable military power. He had no way of resisting this arranged marriage, and even had to happily accept it and get married.

The Duke of Anguo is more favored by the emperor than the Song family. Ever since the emperor came up with the idea of ​​passing Wei to Zhou Qingyun as the new emperor, he has been cultivating his people. Naturally, he would directly intervene in his marriage. Even his concubines are estimated to have a high family background and will be his helpers after they marry into the family.

Looking at the emperor's edict granting marriage, he silently recalled the daily life he spent with Wang Shiyu in the small courtyard in Jizhou City. Finally, with a sarcastic smile on his face, he slowly closed the edict. He simply couldn't make such a promise. It was even equivalent to him giving up the girl on his own initiative.

Early the next morning, a eunuch took the imperial edict to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion to announce it. At the same time, the news of Zhou Qingyun's engagement to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion's legitimate daughter spread to everyone.

The emperor is even now examining the candidates for Zhou Qingyun's concubine, because there is no woman around Zhou Qingyun now, not even a palace maid for trial marriage. Therefore, many powerful families are very satisfied with Zhou Qingyun, who is clean and self-disciplined. At the same time, there are already several candidates for Zhou Qingyun's concubine.

Wang Shiyu, who was far away in Jizhou City, also knew about this. She was even a little confused. According to Zhou Qingyun's personality, it would be impossible for him to accept such a marriage. Did something happen in Jinling? Or did Zhou Qingyun give up his insistence and just decide to go with the flow?

Although Wang Shiyu was a little worried, she did not write to Zhou Qingyun. After all, Zhou Qingyun was now an independent individual and no longer the Zhou Qingyun who was still living under their roof. He was even engaged and would get married at the end of this year. She should not continue to have any contact with Zhou Qingyun, lest his wife misunderstand, which would be bad.

The methods used by the noble ladies of Jinling are not something that someone like Wang Shiyu, who has no backing, can offend. They can crush her to death with just a finger.

So Wang Shiyu naturally wouldn't say anything more, and she didn't even take the matter to heart. What does what the superiors have to think about have to do with an ordinary civilian like her?
