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 directly lay this secret out in the open. In the end, if they found out that there was no such secret, then it was 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, and it could be found 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 added privately. The food that was eaten privately was eaten on the same day. Wang Shiyu collected all the evidence that did not match the current situation. She even took away the things that the old man had hidden privately. Therefore, the old man had no evidence at all. Note that he was afraid that the powerful people in Jinling were stupid and 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 still 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. The spiritual spring appeared after they moved, and it 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, 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 attract other people's attention.
So they came directly to finalize the marriage on the afternoon of the coming-of-age ceremony. The city lord and his wife came with their sincerity and brought two boxes of engagement gifts, which were all items that a girl could use, 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, and is 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 a gauze material, it will not scratch people at all. It is completely different from the Xiangyunsha she knew before. She even has two pieces of Shu brocade, all of which are bright yellow and green colors. It is obviously prepared for young girls.
Because Mo Ruru had made all the necessary preparations, Wang Shiyu's birth date and birth certificate were already ready. The man only needed to take the birth certificate to the temple to have the birth dates compared, and then the date for the wedding could be set.
After the city lord and his wife got Wang Shiyu's engagement letter, they went straight to the temple and found a familiar master to start comparing their birth dates. Fortunately, their birth dates matched very well. Although their personalities were somewhat conflicting, they were both born with gold in their destiny, which made them very suitable for each other.
When the city lord and his wife saw this situation, they decided on a wedding date in the temple. One year and three months later would be the auspicious time, and even the hour had been calculated. Wang Shiyu was even 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 hire someone to embroider it for her just to save trouble. That would ruin her reputation.
Although Yu Xiuming wanted to get married earlier, he could not beat the date set by his parents. Moreover, Wang Shiyu was not old enough. People here only get married at around 18 years old, so the date 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. The jade pendant was carved with a phoenix spreading its wings and about to fly. The material was transparent and beautiful. You could feel the smoothness of the white jade when you picked it up. It was definitely not a cheap item.
It was a token of their engagement. Wang Shiyu held the half jade pendant in her hand and watched the three of them leave. She was in deep thought 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 nothing else.
Wang Shiyu's thoughts had drifted away. She thought of other things, some legends. You know, now is not like the modern times, where people don't value things like dragons and phoenixes. But in the current era of imperial power, people attach great importance to objects like dragons and phoenixes. Except for the royal family, no one else can marry with dragons and phoenixes. And it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. Now women are not allowed to marry with phoenix crowns and bridal robes.
Even if someone used dragon and phoenix pattern ornaments privately, they would be dealt with on the grounds of coveting the royal family. However, 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 the jade pendant. She put it directly into her own space, because no place was as safe as in the space. In order to deal with Mo Ruru, she even found a jade pendant with a magnolia carved on it of white jade of similar color from the space and put it in her bedside table. If Mo Ruru wanted to see it, she could only see this one. 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, and 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, 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 on the surface. 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 overthink it. How could your son be interested in a girl who can't even stand up for herself? 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 girl is extremely smart? She didn't even ask directly when we tested her this time.
Just wait and see, these two children will go even further than the two of us, and may even be able to completely shed our filthy bloodline, allowing my son to live happily for the rest of his life without being dragged into this again."
