Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Chapter 1290 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 12

Although I guessed there was another reason, it didn't matter.

If you need to make sarcastic remarks, you still have to.

Shu Jiao slowly got up, told people to pack their things, and summoned several trusted confidants produced by the system, instructing them to take the goods to the capital and spread the truth along the way.

She and Shu Xi walked slowly behind.

In any case, we need to give the truth some time to spread.

"To the capital?"

Shu Xi, who was studying, looked up and asked with some surprise, "Mother, aren't we going to Jiangnan?"

My mother said last time that she wanted to find her a new father in Jiangnan.

"Let's go, let's go too."

Shu Jiao glanced at her and casually agreed, "Let's go to Jiangnan first, and then head to the capital."

"it is good!"

Shu Xi readily agreed, then hesitated slightly before saying, "But my studies..."

"It doesn't matter,"

Shu Jiao looked at the female tutor she had specially hired for Shu Xi, "Sir, would you mind traveling with us?"

(The term "先生" (xiānsheng) originated from the Book of Songs and the Analects, referring to an elder, teacher, person of high moral character and prestige, or person of a specific profession, and is not used exclusively for men.)

The gentleman's surname is Ming, and his given name is Yanning.

He was well-versed in classics, history, philosophy, and literature, and was skilled in playing the zither, chess, calligraphy,

Perhaps God gave her an overly intelligent mind, but then took something away from her, which is why her physical health was a little weak.

Shu Jiao was able to invite her to tutor Shu Xi because she used the excuse of Shu Xi needing to recuperate.

Unfortunately, such great talent could not find a place to display his abilities in Daxing.

In the future...

"can."

Ming Yanning nodded slightly, her eyes filled with a smile and a hint of inquiry as she looked at Shu Jiao.

She was very curious about Miluo Island.

What kind of place could nurture such a naturally noble woman, so different from the women of Daxing, with such a free and unrestrained style?

"Sir, why are you looking at me like that?"

Shu Jiao casually found a chair and sat down, her posture both languid and exuding an air of nobility.

"Just a little curious."

Ming Yanning responded, and then asked, "Master, how come I've never seen Ah Xi's father?"

"Oh, he's dead."

Shu Jiao said calmly.

The tone was as if he were mentioning an insignificant stranger.

This made Ming Yanning feel a little strange.

"I know I know!"

Shu Xi, who was practicing calligraphy nearby, responded lively, "He wanted to climb the social ladder by sleeping with my mother, hoping to gain status through his son and become her man. My mother threw him into the sea and drowned him!"

"puff!"

Ming Yanning couldn't help but choke twice, and the white jade chess pieces in her hand fell onto the chessboard.

After several seconds of silence, she finally uttered an incredulous "Huh?"

I can understand every single word of this short sentence, so why... why do I not quite understand it?

Did she waste all those years of studying?

No.

She is a highly learned woman, she has to keep her composure!

"I see."

Ming Yanning pretended to return to normal, "Master... is truly wise and decisive."

Seeing her dazed look but her normal expression, Shu Jiao couldn't help but chuckle. "Perhaps you'd like to come with me to Miro Island?"

Don't say it.

Ming Yanning was indeed somewhat tempted.

However, the risks were too great, and the concerns of her loved ones made her waver.

"If there is an opportunity."

Ming Yanning responded politely, then added, "That must be a very good place."

"suitable for you."

Shu Jiao's meaning was unclear.

Of course, she couldn't let Ming Yanning go now.

Right now on that island, dozens of construction teams are working themselves to the bone on a team-building project, repairing houses, building bridges, and paving roads...

Thankfully, everything is produced by the system, so I don't need to eat or sleep.

Otherwise, they would all have died suddenly by now.

Clicking on the territory and seeing the red "under construction" icons, Shu Jiao felt like she was playing a large-scale, real-life infrastructure game.

It just costs more money.

Fortunately, money was the last thing she lacked.

Some time ago, she even went to the beach and turned all the fish and shrimp in the seawater into gold, which she then used to purchase items in her online store, earning her the title of "the richest businesswoman in history."

It's not very useful; it only provides emotional value.

After a few words of casual conversation, someone came over.

That was the martial arts teacher that Shu Jiao found for Shu Xi. She selected a gentle female captain from the fleet named Shu Xin.

Ming Yanning glanced at Shu Xin's robust physique and his face, which looked full of vitality, and a rare hint of envy appeared in her eyes.

So good~

This person looks like they could live to be 100 years old.

"Milo Island has better doctors."

Shu Jiao made it sound like she was just mentioning it casually before leaving.

After having her subordinates prepare everything, she took Shu Xi straight to Jiangnan.

Jiangnan is a wonderful place!

The scenery in Jiangnan is absolutely beautiful!

As Shu Jiao stepped into Jiangnan, she felt a sense of joy and freedom, as if she had returned to her old home.

Someone had already purchased a large house here worth over 90,000 taels of silver, and added manpower and furnishings, just waiting for the owner of the house to move in.

"Let's go out for a walk."

Shu Jiao took Shu Xi and the others out.

As for settling those things...

She has to do it herself?

Did she spend so much money and hire so many people for nothing?

While strolling down the street, Shu Xi suddenly grabbed Shu Jiao and whispered, "Mom, weren't you going to find me a father? I like that one."

She pointed with her finger.

Shu Jiao looked in the direction she was pointing, and at the end of the street stood a man dressed in plain clothes. His face was so elegant, and his demeanor was so refined…

Like a father.

Correct.

He's just like a father.

Of course, not the greasy kind, but the gentle, warm feeling of a married man.

"She truly is my good daughter; her taste is just as good as mine."

Shu Jiao praised.

Upon hearing this, Shu Xi raised her head with a hint of pride, "I am my mother's child, so naturally I resemble her!"

After listening to the entire conversation, Ming Yanning couldn't hold back any longer.

No.

Is this a topic that can be discussed in public?

When he turned his head again and saw Shu Xin's expression of complete indifference, even with a hint of criticism, he couldn't hold back any longer.

Is this right?

"Master, this..."

Ming Yanning opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"Xi'er is still young and needs a father to take care of her."

Shu Jiao said, "I think that person is quite nice. Ah Xin, check him out and get back to me."

"Alright, boss."

Shu Xin agreed without hesitation, "I will find you two more new fathers, Miss, so you can have a choice."

Ming Yanning: ...

This line of reasoning sounds somewhat familiar.

I feel like I've heard a man who lost his wife say something like that before.

She seemed a little dazed, and followed slowly behind, her steps unsteady.

Meanwhile, Shu Jiao was still feasting her eyes on the newcomers; back in Beijing, Zhang Zizhao suddenly noticed that his colleagues were looking at him strangely.

Not only is something wrong...

They were always whispering to each other behind his back, and no one knew what they were saying.

While she was muttering to herself, she would steal a glance at him every now and then.

What the hell happened?!

Zhang Zizhao was puzzled and asked around, but couldn't get any answers.

"Tsk~ You can't judge a book by its cover."

"What did I tell you? I said that if he was still unmarried in his early twenties, there must be something wrong with him. See? I was right."

"Does the Ding family know?"

"That's ruthless. He even killed his parents, and he didn't even go back for their funerals..."

Barabara...

Overnight, Zhang Zizhao's reputation plummeted, becoming utterly disgraced.
