Then he forced a smile, but this smile was filled with coldness and sarcasm, as if he was mocking the old man's overestimation of his own abilities and the Zhang family's short-sightedness. They really didn't take the emperor seriously.
Did he really think she had done nothing in Jizhou City for over a year? She was very clear about some things, so the old man's calculations would not work.
Even though the Zhang family now possessed 20,000 men, they were merely refugees urgently assembled. Even after a year of training, they were still just scattered soldiers, not capable of great accomplishments.
If Wang Shiyu was really pissed off, she would have dealt with these people directly. Now the old man dared to show off his power in front of her by relying on the Zhang family. He was really taking advantage of the power of others.
The old man stared at Wang Shiyu with a gloomy expression. He didn't expect that she could actually say such outrageous words. But at such a young age, who was she clinging to?
Knowing so much about the affairs of Qiong Island was definitely not something that Wang Shiyu, at such a young age, could know, so she must have been clinging to someone, and he wanted to see if he could take advantage of her, after all, his granddaughter also had Wang family blood.
"Xiao Yu, you should be more careful with your words. They are your father and your aunt. The child in your aunt's belly will be your brother in the future. How can you say that?
Moreover, we have always governed the country with filial piety. Are you sure you want to bear the label of being unfilial?
Don't think you can become arrogant just because you know someone powerful. Don't forget that your last name is Wang, and you're a descendant of the Wang family. Prosperity and adversity are shared, and you should know that."
Wang Shiyu just looked up at him coldly without saying anything, then picked up Ruirui from the cradle and walked directly towards Zhou Qingyun's room. She was just short of saying that her ten-year-old granddaughter had started climbing into other people's beds and even used filial piety to suppress herself. Wang Shiyu didn't care about the former, but not the latter. It must not be spread out. After all, her mother and brother were still alive, and she couldn't let others point fingers at her.
Honestly, I've really spoiled them. It seems I need to take some action to let them know how far I've come. Didn't I say I've hooked up with a big shot? So, let this legendary 'big shot' meet the Wang family and see how far they can endure.
After entering the room, he put Ruirui on Zhou Qingyun's bed and wrapped a quilt around him to prevent him from rolling around and directly rolling to the ground.
Looking at the little hands grabbing in the air, Ruirui didn't know what they were grabbing, so he took a small bell and hung it on the top of Zhou Qingyun's bed. He touched the bell gently, and it made a crisp sound, which directly attracted Ruirui's attention, and the child's gaze shifted back and forth with the swing of the bell.
"Ruirui, be good. I have something to do. Can you play by yourself for a while?"
He walked to the table, took out Zhou Qingyun's pen and ink, and began to write a letter. As for what he wrote, Zhou Qingyun did not go to see, but walked to the bed and watched Ruirui playing by himself. Although Zhou Qingyun seemed to be teasing Ruirui, his soul had actually drifted away for a while.
The old man came to find him this time and gave him the letter from his great-grandfather, but he didn't want to do so. After all, this matter was not so easy to do. He was just a grandson of the Huang family, not the eldest son, and it was really unnecessary to use him as a scapegoat. After all, he knew a little about the Zhang family's affairs, and he had never hidden what Wang Shiyu had done from him.
So Zhou Qingyun knew the situation of the Zhang family's soldiers. They didn't even have sharp weapons. Even if they wanted to fight to support the war, they didn't have the conditions. They were fighting with swords and guns, and you were fighting back with wooden sticks. Isn't that a joke?
Therefore, Zhou Qingyun directly burned the Zhang family's letters, even in order to prevent the Zhang family from knowing that he planned to leave in a while and return directly to Jinling. Although the situation in Jinling is complicated now, it is better for you to die directly. Therefore, Zhou Qingyun has already written a letter and plans to ask Wang Shiyu to help send it directly back to Jinling and ask King Rui to send someone to pick him up.
When Wang Shiyu went out again, the old man was no longer in the yard. He must have left.
So Wang Shiyu took the letter and went out. No one knew what she went out for, but after a while she came back with a smile on her face.
The next morning, several men from the Wang family on Qiong Island got up early and went to the sea to fish together. Not long after they went into the sea, for some reason, the small wooden boat they were riding on started to leak. The three of them were so scared that they rowed quickly to the shore. When they reached the shore.
Only then did they discover that the bottom of the boat had been tampered with. Someone had pried a piece of wood from the bottom of their wooden boat loose, but it was not completely loosened. Instead, when they were sailing the boat out to sea, the gravity of the sea water kept squeezing the small gap in the wood, making it bigger and bigger. This was why they found that the boat was taking in water as soon as they reached the sea. Fortunately, they discovered it early. If they had gone any further, they probably would not have been able to return to the shore.
Wang Yixian and Wang Yizhuo looked at the small wooden boat, wondering who they had offended. How could someone do such a thing? You know, this is a direct threat to life and death. However, the action was very measured and would not harm their lives, but it made them terrified.
The main reason is that they don’t interact with other people on this island. They don’t even say a few words to those who fish with them. Their catch is not enough for others to take such a risk to frame them, so who is it?
But the old man inexplicably remembered meeting Wang Shiyu yesterday. What she said yesterday made the old man very suspicious, but he had no evidence and could not bring her back directly, so he was still suspicious and did not tell his son about it.
After all, Wang Shiyu has now completely escaped from his grasp, and he has no way to hold this child in his hands again.
