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 had heard that Zhou Qingyun was the next emperor for sure, he became even more eager to maintain a relationship with Zhou Qingyun. There was so little leverage he could get right now, so he had to grab whatever he could get.
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 there again. They have even become more low-key. They will never go out unless there is something important. They will even wear a curtain when they go out to prevent others from seeing their faces.
Aunt Niu also knew the old man, Wang Shiyu's father, and that woman, so when she went out to buy groceries, she paid special attention to whether there was anyone following her. Even with such strict security, 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 just made friends with the 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 only 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 engaged, he naturally learned about the old man's life, even more so than Wang Shiyu. He connected everything from the old man's birth to his escape from famine and his settlement on Qiong Island. He even knew why the old man had to settle there.
It was just after lunch. 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, supplement calcium, and at the same time dry out the moisture on her body. After staying in the house for a long time, she always felt damp.
Yu Xiuming simply took his book and sat with him under the tree, basking in the sun together, and even found a lounge chair. He felt extremely comfortable.
"Xiao Yu, your grandfather has tracked down someone in the east of the city these days. I estimate he'll be here in a few days. Do you want to see him? If not, I'll just hide your information so he can't find you. Most of the people here are mine, so it's no problem if you want to hide a few people."
Just when Wang Shiyu was splitting the silk thread, Yu Xiuming was flipping through the 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 was also well aware of the life the Wang family was living now, and naturally did not 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 little thoughts. If he knew Yu Xiuming's identity, he would definitely take advantage of him, and his methods would probably not be very bright. I don't know if it's because my grandfather is old, but his thoughts have become more and more extreme. He seems to attach great importance to being respected by others. I don't know why the eyes of others are so important to him.
"See if you can postpone it until after my coming-of-age ceremony, when we're engaged, and then let him come to you.
He got some information from somewhere and wants to pair Zhou Qingyun and me up. The last time we met, he asked me about it. I told him we were already engaged, and if he knew your identity, he definitely wouldn't mess things up, but he would use your power, which I don't want. But if he didn't know your identity, he would most likely try to ruin the marriage. He has some advantages as an elder, so he has some advantages.
Wang Shiyu continued to chop 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 unusual, so it is normal for her grandfather to want 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 had directly used 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 pushover.
"Alright then, let's wait until after your coming-of-age ceremony and when we're engaged, and then let him come. I'll have someone find him something to do so he doesn't have to spend his days idle. It wouldn't be good to just wander around Jizhou City and cause trouble for no reason, so it's better for him to 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 so long, and from the movements of his hands, she knew that he was already angry at this time.
