After the two of them finished speaking, they stopped talking. Instead, they picked up the teacup on the table and drank slowly. The tea in it was clear. They slowly skimmed off the foam and City Lord Yu took a sip.
"I hope it's as you wish, and I also hope our Zichuan can really escape from all this."
After putting away the jade pendant, Wang Shiyu did not ask Yu Xiuming about this matter. She even pretended not to see it and had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. Yu Xiuming originally thought that Wang Shiyu would ask him and even thought of an excuse. In the end, she did not come. Naturally, he understood the significance of Wang Shiyu's actions. However, he found a red rope for the dragon-shaped jade pendant and hung it directly around his neck, placing it close to his heart. He never took it off even when taking a bath.
The two of them got along as usual, with no other changes. Wang Shiyu still had the embroidery she was working on in her hand. After finishing the embroidery she was working on, she did not continue with other work. Instead, she took her mother and brother to the boat that Yu Xiuming had specially vacated for her, saying that she wanted to go to the sea to see the scenery.
This matter had been agreed upon long ago. They had been here for so many years without moving. Now it would be good to go for a trip on the sea. It would help them relax and also allow Wang Shiyu to think carefully about what to do in the future.
She originally thought that the Yu family was just an ordinary military family and had no other connections, but now everything is completely different from what she imagined, so her previous plan of completely avoiding the world and using some means to establish connections with the royal family may not work. After all, Wang Shiyu herself knows that she will not allow others to sleep beside her bed.
But the marriage has been decided and there is no room for regret. Besides, Wang Shiyu herself does not want to regret it. Facing such a handsome Yu Xiuming, who would be willing to refuse? Lust is everyone's instinct.
Therefore, I must adjust my mindset and clear out all my previous ideas. Everything has to start from scratch. The plans that have already started cannot be withdrawn, so I can only change the order.
Over the years, she has gradually found out about the situation of these people in the Zhou Dynasty. The previous emperor was even more hateful than this one, because the previous emperor was simply a replica of a certain emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He was a playboy and no one knew how many of his children he had left outside.
Even in the remote countryside, one or two of his children could be found. Therefore, no one knew how many brothers the current emperor had. However, those in the imperial city were dealt with by the current emperor, while those who were stranded outside were kept silent. Every time the emperor spent the night with a woman, he would leave a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants of extremely fine quality, saying that if she had children, she could use the jade pendants as a token of trust and go to Jinling City to find him.
Every time she would be coaxed into being extremely happy, and then she would voluntarily climb onto his bed, only to end up sleeping with him for nothing. How could a child born in the countryside possibly compete with the women in the harem?
After getting the half jade pendant, Wang Shiyu roughly knew their identities. However, the former emperor was indeed capable. Among the children he left behind, except for the one who is currently on the throne, his methods are too cruel, while the other children are shining in various fields. Even in Jiangnan, there are many people carrying jade pendants. Originally, Wang Shiyu had not thought about it, because she felt that no matter how romantic the former emperor was, he would not give up his kidney.
But now it seems that there must be no wind in the empty acupuncture points. It’s just that this incident happened too long ago, and if we want to check it, we can’t do it without manpower.
Wang Shiyu is also extremely short of manpower now, otherwise all she gets are some gossips circulating in the underworld. In fact, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to train her own manpower here. You know, the former Qiongdao was a base for training manpower. The people here basically have their own rules of life. She has no time to find young children to raise and train slowly. The main reason is that she has too many people around her now and has no time to train them. Children with some qualifications have been secretly taken away by some organizations. Haven’t you seen that the children on the street now are missing arms and legs? How can they be normal?
Wang Shiyu could only bear with the shortage of manpower. After all, trying to do something under the supervision of others was no different from hanging oneself. Death would be silent anyway.
The family packed their bags quickly because they would be spending at least two or three months on the ship and they had to bring a lot of things with them.
In her spare time, Mo Ru Ru brought a few silk handkerchiefs with her, thinking that if she was bored on the boat, she could embroider them to kill time. She also found a piece of festive silk cloth, intending to make a dress for her daughter's wedding.
Wang Shiyu did not take these things because she knew that embroidering in a shaking place like on a boat would cause serious damage to her eyes. Wang Shiyu was young and naturally did not want to be blind. She just took some red silk and brocade, and planned to cut out the clothes roughly first, and then think about what kind of patterns to embroider on them to be more in line with the festive atmosphere of the wedding banquet. If she could embroider dragons and phoenixes, she would not have to worry so much, but now she could only embroider something else.
The boat they were going to take out to sea this time was a very large wooden boat. Standing under the boat, Wang Shiyu could feel how small she was. Compared with the boat, the boat could kill her in an instant, and she couldn't even make a splash.
