Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Chapter 1295 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 17

"It seems that my arrangements for today are to your liking."

Seeing the smile in her eyes, Qi Xun thought to himself:

really.

He said, "There's no way Shu Jiao wouldn't be interested in the dance hall."

The fragrance of a beautiful woman wafted over, and with a flick of her sleeve, she nestled into my arms, her eyes brimming with a shy smile. This haven of tenderness was so captivating; anyone who came near would want to take a second look!

"The Regent's judgment is certainly good."

Shu Jiao looked at Qi Xun.

To be honest, this guy is quite handsome, and he has a good demeanor after being in power for many years, but he's a bit old.

Hey ~

If only I had encountered this when I was young.

You were born before I was born~

"Come on, you're just lusting after her body."

003 could hardly bear to listen to Shu Jiao's lamentations.

She spoke as if she were so deeply in love, but in the end, it was all for the sake of clearing someone's name.

"Shut up, you."

Shu Jiao said unhappily.

I finally managed to indulge in a bit of melancholy, but the moment this guy uttered a sound, all my emotions vanished.

003 then fell silent.

After a few rounds of drinks, Qi Xun began to tentatively inquire about the situation on Miro Island.

"Milo Island?"

Shu Jiao, holding a wine glass, leaned back on the soft couch, seemingly lost in thought. "Milo Island... it's on the other side of the sea. Regent, have you ever seen the boundless ocean?"

"I've seen it."

Qi Xun nodded slightly.

He had certainly seen him; in his youth, he had even served in the military at sea and made outstanding military achievements.

"The other side of the sea?"

Qi Xun frowned slightly. "Is it very far? The farthest I know is probably Yu'an Kingdom."

Their fleet sailed several times and roughly figured out the countries and islands along the coast, but he had never heard of Miluo Island.

"Further than Yu'an."

Shu Jiao dipped her chopsticks in wine and casually drew a few lines on the table. "This is Yu'an, and this is Miluo Island. Starting from Miluo Island, we can reach a new country by going around this strait."

“We used to do business here. Later, we heard about Daxing by chance, so we took a detour to come here.”

Qi Xun: ? ? ?

Is there a strait over there?

Is there another country over there?

Qi Xun listened attentively, his mind racing, and responded, "I see. May I ask, what countries are on Miro Island? Of course, if you can't answer, then pretend I didn't ask."

"nation?"

Shu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly and chuckled softly, "Milo Island is my home."

Qi Xun: Huh?!

What the hell?

Qi Xun looked at Shu Jiao in shock, "Milo Island...your home?"

If that's the case, then Shu Jiao is practically the emperor of Miluo Island, isn't she?

What?

You, an emperor, come to Daxing, and you don't even give me a letter of authorization?

If something happens to you in Daxing, what will you do if your fleet attacks? If a fight breaks out on the beach out of nowhere, they won't even know why.

You, an emperor, are you really this casual?!

Qi Xun had endless complaints in his mind, and looked at Shu Jiao with a hesitant expression.

"I'm just a relatively wealthy businessman."

Seeing through Qi Xun's thoughts, Shu Jiao chuckled, "Although we have some weapons, they are only for protecting caravans; although we occupy an island, it is my family's ancestral property."

"The people on the island have worked for my family for generations, and they are all quite loyal..."

This is even more terrifying, isn't it?!

The island is filled with loyal household servants who would risk their lives for the cause.

Let's assume there's a population of one million on the island.

A million people, when faced with war, become a million fearless and willing suicide soldiers. Who would dare to mess with that!

She's so rich...

For a moment, the Regent looked at Shu Jiao with much more caution. "Have you brought enough guards? If not, I will send a squad of guards to you."

This woman absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble in Daxing!

"Don't worry, it's enough."

"If you don't have enough, just say so, and I can arrange it for you."

"it is good."

After saying a few more words, Qi Xun was still not at ease. "If anyone provokes you, just send someone to tell me, and I will take care of it for you."

Shu Jiao was amused by his caution and nodded slightly, "Okay, I will definitely tell you."

After downing two more glasses of wine, Qi Xun began to steer the conversation toward Shu Jiao's large ship and the cannons firing on it.

Shu Jiao understood immediately.

So, Qi Xun wasn't after her money at all; he was after her weapons.

This guy definitely has a better eye than the young emperor.

but……

It's impossible to give it to them.

Shu Jiao gave a subtle refusal, and Qi Xun understood, naturally changing the subject.

He never intended to succeed in one go.

Weapons are something no one sells casually. Even if they were, they'd only give out substandard products.

He did it himself, so how could he not know what Shu Jiao was thinking?

We didn't talk about anything serious after that.

Enjoy the food and drinks, and appreciate the wonderful music and dance performances at the cabaret.

Graceful young women, holding red ribbons, tumbled down from the second floor;

On the bow of the swaying flower boat, a tender green lotus flower leisurely plays the pipa.

The young men, dressed in light and thin clothes and with graceful figures, pounded their swords and let out a few soft breaths... and faintly, one could hear the soft clinking of gold, silver and copper coins.

elegant.

That's so elegant!

Shu Jiao thought Qi Xun really knew how to pick a place; he was definitely a seasoned veteran player.

Qi Xun: !!

damned.

This is a fabricated and slanderous attack!

If it weren't for inviting Shu Jiao, with his beautiful wives and concubines at home and countless official documents and memorials, he wouldn't have time to wander around in a place like this.

After the game, everyone went home.

Qi Xun tossed and turned in bed, unable to put his mind at ease. Finally, he sat up abruptly and summoned the Capital Garrison that very night, ordering them to protect Shu Jiao.

Regent's Wife: ? ? ?

She didn't overthink it; she knew her husband's temper.

The fact that such a commotion could be caused can only mean that Shu Jiao's status is extremely important.

"My lord, shall I invite her to stroll around the capital?"

"The Regent's wife asked."

Qi Xun immediately became alert. "No. Don't ask her out."

He didn't want his beloved princess to spend a few days with Shu Jiao, only to come home and demand a divorce so she could go out and keep a gigolo.

The Regent's wife felt that Qi Xun's eyes were full of defensiveness, which made her very strange.

Who are we guarding against?

To prevent her from harming Shu Jiao?

I wanted to help you out, but not only did you not appreciate it, you're also wary of her?

Thinking about it this way, the Regent's wife was also angry, so she turned over and went to sleep.

The Regent's lips twitched.

He hasn't even met Shu Jiao yet, and he's already treating her like this. What will happen if they do meet?

Meanwhile, Shu Jiao returned home and watched 003's daily performances.

It faces the speaker and plays various recorded sound effects.

"You unfilial son..."

"My son... I died so tragically... My son, come down and join me..."

Shu Jiao was exasperated. "Haven't you had enough fun yet?"

"Enough is enough."

003 nodded with a grin, "And it's not that I haven't had enough fun, it's that Zhang Zizhao, that beast, is really a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong. After so many days, he's finally going to make his move."

Out of fear of the Ding family, even though he suspected that his parents had died at their hands, he hesitated to seek revenge.

What a waste!
