Wang Shiyu paused for a moment and then turned to look at the old man selling fish. She took a quick glance and was sure that he was an old man from the white hair. She could also tell from the voice that he was an old man, but she didn't realize that this was her grandfather whom she hadn't seen for five years.
"Oh, Grandpa, I haven't seen you for many years. You look much older now. You must be worrying too much. You already have grandchildren, so why bother working so hard?"
Hearing Wang Shiyu's words, the old man's somewhat excited face paused for a moment, and a vicious look flashed in his eyes for a moment, but it was caught by Wang Shiyu who had been staring at him. Well, there are so many things to do.
Judging from the old man's expression, he probably has no remorse or anything. He must have been plotting something again and has been doing it for many years but hasn't found me. When he sees me today, he will most likely ask me about the whereabouts of my family, and he might even think of plotting against me until nothing is left of him.
"There's nothing I can do. Life is tough. You know the situation at home. We're short of money. Xiaoyu is looking more and more like your mother. How have you been these years?
Judging from the way you're dressed, you must be living a good life, right?
Why don't you invite grandpa to your house?"
The old man felt that Wang Shiyu’s good life was definitely related to Zhou Qingyun’s secret help. If it weren’t for Zhou Qingyun’s help, could a woman with two children live like this now?
What's more, if his thoughts were even more evil and disgusting, he would suspect that Wang Shiyu's mother sold herself to support the two children. It is not impossible. You know, Zhou Qingyun was saved by himself, but someone else took advantage of him. He was almost angry to death, but he still had to talk to Wang Shiyu with a smile.
"Yes, we are living okay. Ever since my mother left the Wang family, she has picked up her old skills again. Now that we have income every year, we are living a more comfortable life. This is what makes life better for the three of us. We haven't seen Zhou Qingyun since he left, but I heard that he is living well and is deeply favored by the emperor.
By the way, Grandpa probably doesn't know that Zhou Qingyun is getting married to the daughter of the Duke of Anguo. I remember that Duke of Anguo's Marquis, Grandpa should know him. Haven't you all met him? I wonder if Grandpa has been invited to attend his wedding in Jinling.
Thinking of Zhou Qingyun, Wang Shiyu thought for a moment and decided to give the old man a hard time. Even if Zhou Qingyun hadn't invited the old man, he would probably have found a way to come to Jinling City after learning about this. Now the old man has no more cards to play. A desperate man will naturally not miss such a good opportunity. A life-saving favor will naturally make Zhou Qingyun agree to some conditions. If he uses it well, he can even use some other secrets to achieve his own goals.
When the old man heard the news that Zhou Qingyun was going to get married, excitement flashed in his eyes several times. He knew that his chance had come, but the most important thing at the moment was Wang Shiyu. He had to coax her and bring her to Jinling together, so that his bargaining chip would be greater.
"Really? Yun'er is getting married. He's actually engaged to the daughter of the Duke of Anguo. That's great. The Duke of Anguo has real power. The emperor really likes him.
What about you? Xiaoyu, you're about to reach marriage, right? I wonder if you've found a husband yet? If not, would you like me to ask for you? After all, your mother must be having a hard time raising you two alone. It's better for you to come back to the Wang family and stop causing trouble for your mother.
Listening to the old man's concern for her, Wang Shiyu felt extremely disgusted and even wanted to punch him. Returning to the Wang family was the hardest part. He was schemed against by this old guy every day. It was really a waste of his name. To be honest, Wang Shiyu used to like the word "Huan", but now he doesn't like it at all.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. I'm already in talks with my matchmaker and have already made an engagement. Although the family I'm marrying into is an ordinary one, he's honest, hardworking, and literate. Although he won't pass the imperial examinations, his family is still quite well-off. His parents also like me very much. My mother personally chose him for me."
The smile on Wang Shiyu's face seemed to be welded on and didn't change at all. No one even knew whether what she said was true or false. But she knew that she must not tell the old man about Yu Xiuming's identity, otherwise the old man would definitely have evil thoughts and try to get close to the Yu family. She didn't want to clean up any mess for the old man. She wanted to live a quiet life instead of a good life.
