Therefore, Wang Shiyu did not take this matter to heart at all. She even hoped that after the old man and his men went to Jinling, when they wanted to use Zhou Qingyun's people to deal with the Regent and his wife, it would be best to make this secret public. In the end, if they found out that there was no such secret, then it would be estimated that the Wang family would be killed without a complete body, or even crushed to death by the Regent's Mansion.

However, there is one thing that is not so good about this matter. The main reason is that she had used this space when she was fleeing from famine, so she could find out if she wanted to. However, what was found was only the food that the old man bought from the county town. There was no food that Wang Shiyu had added privately. The food that was eaten privately was eaten that day. Wang Shiyu collected all the evidence that did not match the current situation. Even the things that the old man had hidden privately were taken away by her. Therefore, the old man did not have any evidence in his hands. Please note that he was afraid that the powerful and stupid people in Jinling would directly crush her as a variable.

So Wang Shiyu also has some troubles, but they are not big. For the superiors, as long as they have any suspicions, they will keep monitoring. This is relatively light for Wang Shiyu's troubles, because Wang Shiyu's space can only store items, and she cannot take out any heaven-defying treasures, nor any treasures that can prolong her life. Even if there is an old man, they don't know, unless the old man is making up stories. Lingquan appeared after they moved, and did not appear before, so Wang Shiyu could not be exposed at all.

But if they want to turn something that doesn't exist into something that exists, unless Wang Shiyu herself is willing to expose it, they will never find out what's wrong.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, City Lord Yu and his wife came directly in the afternoon with the engagement items. In fact, the engagement should have been scheduled in the morning, but in order to save trouble and not to attract other people's attention.

The city lord and his wife came directly to finalize the marriage on the afternoon of their coming-of-age day. They came with great sincerity and brought two boxes of engagement gifts, which were all items that a girl could use, including various hairpins, rings, bracelets, and half a box of luxurious fabrics, including Wang Shiyu's favorite Xiangyunsha.

This kind of sand material is soft and transparent, most suitable for making summer clothes. Moreover, it can be used as underwear without scratching delicate skin and can fit very closely. Although it is gauze, it will not scratch people. It is completely different from the Xiangyun gauze she knew before. There are even two pieces of Shu brocade, all of which are bright yellow and green colors. It is obviously prepared for young girls.

Because Mo Ruru's preparations were quite complete, Wang Shiyu's birth date and birth card were already ready. The man only needed to take the birth card to the temple to have the birth dates matched and then the date for the wedding could be set.

After the city lord and his wife received Wang Shiyu's engagement letter, they rushed to the temple and found a familiar master to match their horoscopes. Fortunately, their birth dates matched very well. Although their personalities were somewhat conflicting, they were both born with gold in their fates, which made them very suitable.

When the city lord and his wife saw this, they decided on a date for their wedding in the temple. One year and three months later would be the auspicious time, and even the hour had been calculated. Wang Shiyu was already preparing the wedding dress she would wear for the wedding. A woman's wedding dress had to be embroidered by herself, and Wang Shiyu couldn't just hire someone to embroider it for her to save trouble, as that would ruin her reputation.

Although Yu Xiuming wanted to get married earlier, he could not beat the time set by his parents. Moreover, Wang Shiyu was not old enough. People here get married at around 18 years old, so the time set by Wang Shiyu was already early.

At the same time, Yu's parents gave Wang Shiyu a jade pendant, which looked like half of a whole piece. This jade pendant was carved with a phoenix spreading its wings as if about to fly. The material was transparent and beautiful, and you could feel the smoothness of the white jade when you picked it up. This was definitely not a cheap item.

It was regarded as a token of their engagement. Wang Shiyu held the half jade pendant in her hand, watched the three of them leave, and pondered for a long time. Even Mo Ruru looked at her curiously several times, but did not ask. She just looked at the jade pendant in Wang Shiyu's hand curiously. She could only see ten pieces of white jade, but not the rest.

Wang Shiyu's thoughts had drifted far away. She thought of other things, some legends. You know, it's not like the modern times, where people didn't pay much attention to things like dragons and phoenixes. But in the current era of imperial power, people pay great attention to objects like dragons and phoenixes. Except for the royal family, no one else can marry with a dragon or a phoenix. And it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. Now women are not allowed to wear phoenix crowns and bridal robes when they get married.

Even if someone used dragon and phoenix pattern ornaments privately, they would be dealt with on the grounds of coveting the royal family, but the Yu family actually gave her a phoenix-shaped carved jade pendant. It seems that the Yu family has many secrets, and they have even begun to reveal them to her. Maybe Yu Xiuming's illness is not just because the emperor is wary of the Yu family, but rather wants to make the couple have no children or grandchildren.

She played with the jade pendant in her hand for a while and did not let Mo Ruru and the others see the pattern on it. She put it directly into her own space, because no place was as safe as in her space. In order to deal with Mo Ruru, she even found a jade pendant made of similar white jade with a magnolia flower carved on it and put it in her bedside table. If Mo Ruru wanted to see it, she could only see this piece. Although it was not as transparent and warm as the one given by the Yu family, it was also bought by Wang Shiyu from the Zhang family on purpose, so the quality was not bad.

City Lord Yu, who had returned to the City Lord's Mansion, was talking to his wife at this time, with a look of surprise and strangeness on his face.

"Why did you give the jade pendant to Zichuan's fiancée? She doesn't know Zichuan's true situation. Will it cause any big trouble if you give it to her now?"

The city lord's wife had a calm expression, not even a change of expression, because she trusted her son's judgment too much, and she could also see that the girl was not as calm and self-possessed as she appeared to be. She must have her own secrets. In fact, the closer her son was to her, the more comfortable he looked, as if nothing would happen as long as he stayed by Wang Shiyu's side.

"Don't think too much. How can your son like a girl who can't stand up? Is Wang Shiyu just an ordinary embroiderer? Even after she took the jade pendant today, she didn't say a second word. Can't you tell that the child is very smart? She didn't even ask directly when we tested her this time.

Just wait and see, these two kids will go further than the two of us, and they may even get rid of our dirty bloodline, so that my son can live happily for the rest of his life without being dragged into it again."
