Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl
Chapter 140 Jealousy
In addition, he also wrote a letter to Zhou Qingyun in Jinling. Although he knew that there was little hope for what he wanted to do, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would do his best to fight for it, even at any cost, as long as he could succeed.
Especially now that he has heard that Zhou Qingyun is the next emperor for sure, he has become even more enthusiastic about maintaining a relationship with Zhou Qingyun. There are so few forces he can rely on right now, so whatever he can grab is the best.
Even after arriving in Jinling, he had power in his hands, which made it much easier for him to find Wang Shiyu. His granddaughter's life and death could only be decided by him, so if she wanted to escape, that would be impossible.
But ever since they bumped into the old man in the seafood market, Wang Shiyu and Mo Ruru have never been to the seafood market again. They have even become more low-key. They will never go out unless there is something important. They will even wear curtains when they go out to prevent others from seeing their faces.
Aunt Niu also knew the old man, Wang Shiyu's father, and the woman, so when she went out to buy groceries, she paid special attention to whether there was anyone following her. Even with such strict defense, the old man spent a lot of effort but still couldn't find where Wang Shiyu and the others lived, especially with Yu Xiuming making trouble. Every time the old man was about to find them, he would confuse their sight and lead people to other places.
Yu Xiuming is different from Wang Shiyu. Wang Shiyu only made friends with those powerful people, while Yu Xiuming can directly mobilize all the defenses in Jizhou City. Naturally, it is very easy for him to deal with an old man who has no power but just a little brains. Even if he wants this person to die, he can do it silently. It's just that this person is Wang Shiyu's biological grandfather, so he can't do that.
After Yu Xiuming and Wang Shiyu became lovers, he naturally knew about the old man's affairs, and even knew more details than Wang Shiyu. He connected everything from the old man's birth to his escape from famine and his settlement on Qiong Island, and even knew why the old man had to settle on Qiong Island.
It was just after lunch, and Wang Shiyu thought the weather was good today, so she moved her embroidery frame directly to the yard. She wanted to bask in the early winter sunshine under the tree, replenish calcium, and at the same time dry off the moisture from her body. After staying in the house for a long time, she always felt damp.
Yu Xiuming simply sat with him under the tree, holding his book, basking in the sun together, and even found a recliner. He felt extremely comfortable.
"Xiao Yu, your grandfather has tracked down the east side of the city these days. I estimate that he will be here in a few days. Do you want to meet him? If not, I will hide your information so that he can't find it. Most of the people here are my people, so it's not a problem if you want to hide a few people."
Just when Wang Shiyu was splitting the silk thread, Yu Xiuming was flipping through a book and suddenly said this. Even though Wang Shiyu knew that if she continued to live in Jizhou City, she would definitely not be able to escape the old man's entanglement, she didn't know why Mo Ru Ru was unwilling to leave here before, but now that she knew, she couldn't say it.
Since her mother was unwilling to leave, she was naturally prepared to deal with the Wang family. She also knew very well how the Wang family was living now, so she naturally didn't want this family to get close to her and suck her blood. If they recognized each other, it was estimated that the entire Wang family would come after her.
Her grandfather has too many ulterior motives. If he knew Yu Xiuming's identity, he would definitely use him, and his methods would not be very bright. I don't know if it's because my grandfather is old, his thoughts have become more and more extreme. He seems to attach great importance to being respected by others, but I don't know why the eyes of others are so important to him.
"See if you can delay it until after my coming-of-age ceremony, when we are engaged, and then let him come to you.
I don't know where he got some information from, and he wants to pair me and Zhou Qingyun together. The last time we met, he asked me about it. I said we were already engaged, and if he knew your identity, he would definitely not mess things up, but he would directly use the power in your hands, which I don't want. But if he didn't know your identity, he would most likely want to ruin the marriage. He has the status of an elder, so it's always a bit convenient for him."
Wang Shiyu continued to split the silk thread in her hand, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her words. Yu Xiuming naturally understood what she meant. After all, his fiancée also had a childhood sweetheart.
Moreover, the identity of this childhood sweetheart is quite complicated, so it is normal for her grandfather to plot against her, especially since he already knows that Zhou Qingyun has some feelings for Wang Shiyu, and has even made them public. However, Wang Shiyu had clearly told him before that she wanted a stable life and did not want to be someone else's concubine. She would rather be the wife of a poor man than a concubine of a rich man.
If the old man directly took this point to negotiate with Zhou Qingyun, Zhong Qingyu would most likely agree to this matter. As long as Wang Shiyu's marriage was annulled, Zhou Qingyun would not be a good person.
"Well, let's wait until after your coming-of-age ceremony and we get engaged, and then let him come. I'll have someone find him something to do so he doesn't have to do nothing all day. It would be bad to wander around Jizhou City and cause trouble for no reason, so he should just go home."
Yu Xiuming was a little angry inside, but the faint smile on his face remained, as usual, and it was even impossible to tell what he was thinking. However, Wang Shiyu had been in contact with him for such a long time, and from the movements of his hands, she knew that he was already angry at this time.
"You don't have to be like this. Zhou Qingyun and I are two parallel lines that never intersect. I have no intention of becoming someone's concubine. He has already been engaged to a legitimate daughter of the Duke of Anguo. She is of noble birth and has a very high family background. Her grandfather holds real power. Who am I? I am just an embroiderer in Jizhou City. How can I compete with Mingyue?"
Hearing Wang Shiyu's words, Yu Xiuming suddenly felt unhappy again, as if it was what Wang Shiyu said, that because of his humble background, he felt that he was not worthy of Zhou Qingyun, so he backed off and refused to have anything to do with Zhou Qingyun, so he didn't have that idea.
But Yu Xiuming understood what Wang Shiyu meant, because he did not like to be involved in these power struggles, and even wanted to stay away from those powers. People in the royal family were very careful in every word they said, and people with few tricks could not survive at all. People like Wang Shiyu who were not talkative, even if they had some tricks, would not be willing to take the initiative to calculate against someone, and would be killed within a month.
"You are you. You don't have to compete with others, nor compare yourself with others. You will always be the moon in my heart, a moon that belongs only to me. It is enough to illuminate me. Why should I care about others?"
Hearing Yu Xiuming's slightly greasy words, Wang Shiyu stopped splitting the silk thread and looked up at him with a smile.
"Don't say such things. It gives me goose bumps. You should make things difficult for my grandfather. Tell him not to come to Jizhou City recently. I told him about Zhou Qingyun's marriage last time. I think my grandfather will take this opportunity to go directly to Jinling. It shouldn't take too long. Let's wait for a while before talking about it."
"it is good."
Then the two of them continued to do their own things. Mo Ru Ru also took out her embroidery frame and embroidered under the tree with Wang Shiyu. The weather now was really comfortable, not too cold or too hot, and it was not a damp day.
To be honest, Mo Ru Ru was really satisfied. Her son-in-law was humble and gentle, and he behaved flawlessly. She could even see that in this man's eyes, there was only her daughter. Every time she saw her daughter and future son-in-law getting along, she seemed to see decades later. The daily life of these two people was warm and harmonious, and they rarely quarreled, because both of them were rational. As long as one of them did not cheat, they would probably live like this in their lives. Although it was not a passionate love, it was a long-lasting love, which was not love. Thinking of her own..., she sighed in her heart.
"Zichuan, Xiaoyu's coming-of-age ceremony will be in two months. Have you thought about how to hold it?"
While embroidering, Mo Ru Ru suddenly remembered this matter. In two months, her daughter would have her coming-of-age ceremony, and this event would definitely be a big deal. However, she had no one to invite and had no idea who to invite.
After the coming-of-age ceremony, her daughter will be of age and a grown-up girl, and it is time for her to get engaged and married. However, as a mother, she does not have much money, but she has saved up a little bit of dowry over the years, which will definitely be more than what she would have gotten if she had married off in the Wang family. However, if she were to marry the young master of Jizhou City, this amount of dowry was indeed not enough.
But her daughter was also very capable. She got a lot of rare things, as well as various recipes, and even some things that she didn't understand, but she knew they were good things.
These were things she had never seen before, and they were directly added to the dowry, making her as a mother feel a little ashamed.
