Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Chapter 1299 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 21

"Oh dear, look at this,"

Shu Jiao slowly put down her teacup. "How pitiful. He finally became a high-ranking official, and before he could enjoy his life of wealth and luxury, he was gone."

"Ah~"

"It is clear that people should not do those immoral and unscrupulous things."

003: ...

If I didn't know how the Ding family died, I would have thought she was some kind of compassionate saint just by listening to what the host sister said.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the people leave, the tea grows cold.

With Mr. and Mrs. Ding passing away one after the other, the once-large Ding family teetered on the brink of disintegration.

Soon.

When the Ding family descendants returned to their hometown to observe mourning and left the imperial court, their positions naturally vacated to others.

I want to come back...

Difficult.

Qi Xun was still watching.

Can he help the Ding family, who used to oppose him, rise again?

At the same time, without Ding You, the pillar of the court, everyone naturally sought revenge for their grudges.

In the past, the Ding family, relying on Ding You's power, offended many people. Now, ha~

The time has come to beat a dog when it's down!

The remaining members of the Ding family are unlikely to have a good life.

"how to think?"

Looking at Shu Xi, who seemed to be deep in thought, Shu Jiao asked with a light laugh.

"Mom, you're amazing."

Shu Xi praised, "The Ding family deserved to die. If it weren't for them, how could that person have done such a thing? They were just accomplices!"

"Haha~ Yes."

Embarrassing and committing adultery.

Shu Jiao's eyes flickered slightly, and she gently rubbed Shu Xi's head. "Xi'er, the past is the past now."

"From now on, your life will only be bright and glorious."

Shu Xi: ...

Ok?

Has it passed until today?

Shu Xi lowered her eyes to look at the corpses on the street and nodded solemnly, "I understand, Mother."

She got it.

As long as the entire family is wiped out, even the greatest hatred will be forgotten.

That's right.

That's how generous they are, mother and daughter!

"As long as you know."

Shu Jiao nodded in satisfaction.

From now on, this child should not dwell on the past; just let them grow towards the light.

Shu Xi is still young.

But Shu Jiao never felt the need to hide anything from her.

Murder, scheming, business strategies, the art of conversation over drinks... Don't think children don't understand anything; they learn things the fastest.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, then held hands and went out the door into the Treasure Pavilion.

"No, Mother,"

Shu Xi glanced at it and said, "It's not even as good as the string of pearls you gave me yesterday."

what? !

Their store sells high-quality, top-notch items. Who dares to make such outrageous claims?

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper angrily turned his head to look—

One glance,

With just one glance, his gaze was fixed on Shu Xi's wrist, on that scarlet amber bracelet that was "as red as blood and as shiny as glass".

damned!

He knew immediately that the girl was right!

"Oh my, our little VIP!"

The shopkeeper's smile instantly spread across his face. "The goods on the first floor are probably nothing special to you. Please, madam, go upstairs. We just received a new Nanyang pearl bracelet on the second floor—such a big pearl!"

As he spoke, the shopkeeper gestured, "It's extremely rare. I guarantee there's absolutely no second one like it in the entire capital."

It wasn't even in the palace!

Shu Jiao glanced at the size he was gesturing and became genuinely interested.

In this day and age, there are still maritime merchants who can get their hands on such large sea pearls?

That is indeed rare.

As a result, when Shuxi was led upstairs to take a look, the store's prized possession—the Nanyang pearl bracelet—looked more and more familiar to her.

Good guy!

Isn't this just something from her house?

Shu Jiao's lips twitched slightly.

Shu Xi had never seen it before, and found it quite rare, so she took a second look.

"It's alright,"

Shu Jiao silently changed her pearl bracelet, then casually took it off and tossed it to Shu Xi, saying, "Take this one if you like it. We have plenty of pearls of this quality on our island."

Shu Xi: ...

I glanced at the pearl bracelets that were being protected in the store, then looked down at the pearl bracelet on my own wrist that was clearly a size too big.

At this moment, Shu Xi finally had a clearer understanding of how wealthy her family was.

Shopkeeper: ? ? ?

My heart is bleeding!

Such a fine, large, and perfectly round flawless pearl bracelet, and you just casually tossed it to a child to play with?

Oh my god!

She clearly couldn't fit into that size!

You just gave it to her like that?

Did you really give it to her?

Where did this noble lady come from?!

So, what I'm saying is, do you need a son? A son in his forties, who can eat, run, and talk?!

After looking around and not finding anything she liked, Shu Jiao took Shu Xi's hand and left.

Next, Shu Xi was busy studying and buying shops everywhere to expand her business empire.

And the tragic state of the Ding family...

Unsurprisingly, many people suspected Qi Xun.

Who benefits him the most from the trouble that happens to the Ding family?

Looking at the admiring expression on his trusted aide's face, meeting the young emperor's resentful gaze, and the silent, subtle glances from the neutral civil and military officials, Qi Xun: ...

It's a grievance!

I am wronged!

If I did it, I'd admit it, I'd admit it with a bang.

The key point is that I really didn't do it.

Can't you guys use your brains for once?

Does the Ding family's situation necessarily have to be man-made?

Could it be that their family has done so many bad things that they are being punished by heaven?

Qi Xun was also full of complaints, but he couldn't say them out loud.

Because with this kind of thing, explaining is just covering up, and not explaining is admitting it. The best way is to quickly find something bigger to divert everyone's attention.

The Regent's wife looked at him suspiciously, "Your Highness, about the Ding family..."

"I didn't do it!"

Qi Xun clenched his back teeth.

Although he was very grateful for the help of this unknown kind person, which caused the young emperor to lose an arm and also eliminated his biggest threat, he really didn't like being blamed!

"Of course I believe you. But there are rumors going around, so we have to find a way."

The Regent's wife said calmly.

It doesn't really affect the regent's reputation; ever since he became regent, his reputation has been pretty much what it is for the rest of his life.

But we can't let it affect her reputation!

For a time, the Regent's Palace was very worried about this matter.

Let's not even mention the little emperor.

I hate it so much.

Without Ding You, all the officials who had previously pledged allegiance to him became disobedient. He had no voice in the court and was once again a puppet.

How could he accept this?

He frequently asked people to contact Shu Jiao, hoping to get a large sum of money from her to buy her loyalty.

Shu Jiao couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

She's too busy to play house with a good-for-nothing.

"Master Shu, we meet again. That gentleman's shop is in a prime location, but he's in a real hurry for money, so he's putting it up for sale."

After saying that, the broker lowered his voice and said, "That gentleman, surnamed Qi, don't try to drive the price down too much."

Shu Jiao is too generous.

The money he earned these past few days from finding shops for Shu Jiao to do business was enough to ensure he could live comfortably for the rest of his life.

He would naturally treat Shu Jiao well.

Shu Jiao nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

She pushed open the door and her eyes lit up.
