Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Chapter 1293 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 15

The way is:

She flipped over the mandarin duck pillow, her fair hand gently brushing it aside, back and forth.

Looking in the mirror, I blushed; my eyes were captivating, and my thoughts were filled with longing… I could only recall the whispered words in my ear, which were utterly enchanting.

The next day.

Rong Jing lifted the thin blanket, his face flushing slightly. He looked down and saw the book that had been left on the bed yesterday, which made him even more uncomfortable.

Shu Jiao last night...

She was doing something so embarrassing, yet she was reading aloud to him in such a serious manner!

How will he ever be able to look at this book the same way again?!

He got out of bed, clutching his clothes, and could only silently tuck the serious scientific research book he had annotated into the deepest part of the bookcase for the time being.

"Little Daddy?"

Seeing Rong Jing coming from behind, Shu Xi looked at him curiously.

"Ah."

Rong Jing seemed more at ease around her.

After last night, he felt his identity was confirmed, and he felt more like a loving father to Shu Xi, the daughter he had gained for nothing.

Rong Jing: "You're up studying so early?"

"Little Daddy,"

Shu Xi lightly picked up her pen, "It's 9 AM."

"what?"

Rong Jing looked up at the sun, paused for two seconds, feeling a little embarrassed, and then quickly changed the subject, "What are you studying? I've been studying for a few years, maybe I can help you."

"Okay."

Shu Xi readily agreed.

Rong Jing sat down beside her, keeping a distance, to look at her homework and offer some guidance.

Shu Xi was quite happy.

She finally has a little daddy who can keep her company!

He would tutor her, make her happy, play with her, take care of her clothes, and check on her comfort...

what?

You mean mother?

My mother is destined for great things; how can I spend all my time playing around with her?

Shu Jiao was also very satisfied.

Rong Jing is indeed very funny. Sometimes when he teases someone too much, he will inexplicably get angry and start acting recklessly. Once that anger passes, he will turn into a shy young man again.

The key is that they're young!

In previous years, there was nowhere to have fun, so all my energy could only be devoted to Shu Jiao.

of course.

Shu Jiao wasn't an honest person either.

After eating too many desserts, don't you need something sour or spicy to spice things up sometimes?

and so……

Ming Yanning glanced at Shu Jiao's newly acquired property deed, then silently looked at her again—

So why did she insist on going with her mistress when the master provided her with a house?

She's just a teacher!

"Hey, isn't this something you're familiar with? Can you give me some pointers?"

Shu Jiao didn't make her work for nothing, and stuffed a land deed into her hand, saying, "Take this and play with it, it's overtime pay."

Overtime pay?

Although Ming Yanning had never heard of this word before, she understood its general meaning based on its name.

After squeezing the land deed, Ming Yanning thought that Mr. Shu was quite interesting.

I bought another house.

Shu Jiao immediately brought the blue-eyed, blond-haired foreign merchant into her mansion.

Why would a businessman become her mistress?

What do merchants seek?

I want to make money!

Following her, Shu Jiao, would earn him far more than he could by working hard to resell goods between the two places on his own!

She has a sweet tongue.

It's just that I was a little greedy sometimes, but it's not a big problem. I can afford to support a few more Shu Jiaos anyway.

After playing for a while, Shu Jiao noticed that the winds blowing in the capital had reached their peak, so she grabbed Shu Xi and headed towards the capital.

Before she even arrived in the capital, almost everyone who needed to know she was coming already knew.

For example, a regent, or a young emperor.

after all……

Merchants who could spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy houses wherever they went couldn't even imagine how wealthy her family must be!

Even the Regent was envious.

Good guy.

Their food, clothing, and lodging were all better than what he, the nominal second-in-command of the Great Xing Dynasty, was actually the top leader.

I've heard that she has so many helmeted hornbill ...

My ancestors!

One crane's crest is worth two pounds of ivory!

Not only is it incredibly valuable, but more importantly, it's extremely rare! Really rare. Even he doesn't have much in stock, let alone the kind of thing he'd generously give to his concubines in the backyard!

How can someone be this rich?

The Regent couldn't help but think that if he had bumped into Shu Jiao when he was young, he might have wanted to strip her naked and become her male concubine.

Not anymore.

I'm getting older now.

Hey~

He was determined to discuss the matter of ships and cannons with others once Shu Jiao arrived in the capital.

On the other side, the young emperor was also pondering how to get such a wealthy businessman, who seemed to have billions in savings, to invest in him and become his money bag.

In short, Shu Jiao's movements were being secretly watched by many people.

But Shu Jiao didn't care at all.

He spent money along the way, buying houses here and shops there, and giving away gold leaves to those who tipped him.

This allowed quite a few people to make a fortune.

It took her a full month to reach the capital.

Before he could do anything in the capital, he threw a lightning-attracting talisman at Zhang Zizhao's head late at night.

"Boom!"

Under the moonlight, a bolt of purple-blue lightning flashed.

Everyone:? ? ?

wrong.

How come there's thunder on such a clear night?

"Wow!"

After several loud crashes, Zhang Zizhao's main courtyard collapsed.

It's collapsed beyond repair.

Zhang Zizhao was struck squarely, but he didn't die or even faint. He just convulsed and fell to the ground, where he was hit by a roof beam. It's estimated that he broke a rib.

"Hehe~"

003 chuckled, "Zhang Zizhao's reputation will probably sound even better tomorrow."

"Didn't he swear an oath? Shouldn't we grant his wish?"

Shu Jiao's eyes curved slightly, "I'll send him to his death in a couple of days."

Again.

If you're going to be a kept man, you should be prepared to accept it.

Living off the original owner's family while wanting to climb higher branches, always wanting more than what's in the pot – that's called greed, and greed without any bottom line.

Upon returning home, the steward delivered several invitations, one of which was signed—

Qi Xun.

The Regent's Palace.

Qi Xun, the regent of Daxing, was thirty-six years old and served as regent for eleven years, possessing a wealth of experience.

His nephew, Qi Lingran, the current emperor of Daxing, is seventeen years old. Three years ago, he barely gained a few unstable words of influence by taking the opportunity to marry the empress.

no doubt.

Qi Xun would never relinquish power, and Qi Lingran wanted to seize it.

These two still have a lot to fight about.

The other letter came from the Ding family.

Ding You.

Yes, it was made by Zhang Zizhao's father-in-law.

The remaining invitations and visiting cards were scattered and not from any particularly important figures.

Shu Jiao: ...

The intentions of these two are all too obvious.

I can't wait even a day longer!

Shu Jiao thought for two seconds and replied to Qi Xun with an invitation, saying that she would arrive on time.

The meeting place was a rather famous cabaret in Beijing.

After all, given Qi Xun's status, it wouldn't be proper for him to personally visit Shu Jiao's residence; and inviting Shu Jiao to his residence wouldn't demonstrate enough respect for the wealthy man.

Looking at Shu Jiao's flirtatious manner, she doesn't seem like a decent person.

Qi Xun simply arranged to meet at the dance hall. If business couldn't be discussed, he could at least use the beauties to enhance their relationship.

Who knows, maybe next time, or the time after that, we'll be able to talk about arms deals?

—I'm stuck on Chapter Two, haven't been able to write it for ages. Here's one chapter for you guys to see. I'll try again after I've eaten.
