Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Chapter 1303 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 25

Shu Jiao let him have his way.

There are piles of those dead things in the warehouse. Even if Qi Ye used them to death every day, he still wouldn't be able to use them all up.

A beauty, huh?

Especially for well-behaved and sensible beauties, they often receive good treatment from her.

Before long, the grain seeds and blueprints that Shu Jiao had promised were delivered to the Regent's Palace.

Qi Xun, carrying the things, didn't think of his son who was enjoying a life of luxury at Shu Jiao's residence at all. He immediately summoned his confidants and started building boats and planting grain, keeping himself extremely busy.

The confidants were also quite curious about where these things came from.

Qi Xun: ...

Ask, ask, ask what?

Once you get the goods, isn't that enough?

The confidants: ? ? ?

However, this matter couldn't actually be kept secret.

Upon learning that Qi Xun had "married" Qi Ye to Shu Jiao in exchange for so many good things, the court officials' expressions changed—

Um~

The Regent!

We didn't mean anything by it. Look at your face, your bloodline, you're bound to inherit a lot of genes, right?

You can have another child with the princess now, try having another one with Shu Jiao's daughter Shu Xi, it's not too late!

If you are willing, your old minister will wholeheartedly support you, Regent!

Qi Xun: ...

roll!

He almost cursed out loud.

But there was nothing she could do; Shu Jiao had really given her too much.

His concubines in the backyard were already considering giving their sons to Shu Jiao. Luckily, the princess stopped them; otherwise, he didn't even want to imagine how humiliated he would have been!

I stayed in Beijing for about three months.

The infrastructure project on Miro Island has been completed.

Shu Jiao led Shu Xi back to the island, and Ming Yanning naturally followed. Qi Ye thought for a moment and also wanted to go out to sea with her.

Shu Jiao did not refuse.

Having another witness will allow me to make a name for myself when I bring him back to Beijing.

Meanwhile, the fleet that Shu Jiao purchased in the mall is sailing freely on the sea, traveling between countries, transporting batches of exquisite, expensive, rare and all kinds of goods.

The name of "Milo Island - Shu's Caravan" became increasingly well-known.

We walked towards the coast.

Shu Jiao led her people on a large ship towards Miluo Island.

During the day, the azure sea gently laps against the rocky bottom of the boat, seagulls circle overhead, and schools of fish can be seen leaping out of the water.

As night fell, a faint mist drifted away, and the whole world was shrouded in an impenetrable blackness, with a dangerous atmosphere floating everywhere.

And as the first rays of dawn crossed the horizon, the sky was bathed in a dazzling gold...

Neither Shu Xi nor Qi Ye, nor even Ming Yanning, had ever seen such splendor.

But Shu Xi is a good actress.

She always remembered her background, putting on an air of nonchalance, but in reality, she was quite curious.

She stood on the deck, gazing intently at the first rays of dawn.

"Does it look good?"

Shu Jiao, without her noticing, walked up behind her and asked softly.

Shu Xi nodded. "It looks good."

"Like it?"

"like."

"If you like it, it's yours."

Shu Jiao leaned lazily against the railing and said casually, "With just a little time, our fleet will be able to sail freely on this sea. This sea will eventually belong to you."

"It will eventually belong to me..."

Shu Xi read it softly, her eyes flashing with a startling light.

Yes.

It will eventually belong to me.

I see, I like, I conquer.

wrong.

It was my mother who conquered it.

And I will conquer it sooner or later!

Thinking about it, Shu Xi's lips curled up slightly.

At this moment, she was completely different from the timid girl who received traditional education and rarely left the Zhang family home.

She is brimming with ambition.

Shu Jiao was very satisfied with this.

The sea is beautiful, but as time goes by, the initial liking and excitement fade away, leaving only loneliness and weariness.

"Jiaojiao~"

Qi Ye practically clung to Shu Jiao, muttering, "I want to eat green vegetables, I don't want to eat bean sprouts anymore!!!"

No one told him how hard it is to drift at sea!

"Alright, we're almost there,"

Seeing that he looked a little pale, Shu Jiao felt a bit sorry for him, so she gently comforted him, "Once we get to the island, my private treasury will be open and you can choose whatever you want."

Qi Ye: !

Suddenly, my backache disappeared, my leg pain stopped, and even my mind became much sharper.

"I want to pick three items."

Qi Ye held up three fingers and shook them.

"Row."

Shu Jiao nodded indulgently.

Qi Ye immediately chuckled, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard several loud "booms" outside.

The group hurried up to the deck to take a look.

As they rounded the coast, not far away, two fleets were engaged in combat.

The sound of artillery fire filled the sky.

On one side, the "Shu" flag fluttering in the wind on the ship silently proclaimed its identity—

Shu Jiao is a beautiful person.

Behind the Shu fleet followed a large number of small merchant ships.

Opposite them, the pirates, who valued money over life, were climbing the iron chains hanging from the edge of the merchant ship, attempting to engage in close combat with their sharp blades.

Fierce and savage.

It was also howling, trying to disrupt the merchant ship's fighting spirit.

This approach might be useful for other merchant fleets.

However, the people on Shu Jiao's merchant ship were all top-notch fighters from the mall. Their combat awareness, teamwork, and attack power were unmatched by the pirates.

Pirates aren't stupid either.

They were designed for speed, and seeing that they couldn't break through after a prolonged siege, they naturally wouldn't risk their lives.

"This is a tough problem, let's retreat!"

As soon as their leader gave the order, the pirates didn't even bother with the corpses of their comrades and scrambled away.

The battle is over.

On the once calm sea, piles of pirate limbs and remains floated.

"sharp."

Having watched the whole thing, Shu Xi showed no discomfort whatsoever, and instead looked quite proud. "Mother, are all our family's ships this powerful?"

"nature."

Shu Jiao's eyes were smiling.

"That mother is the most powerful."

Shu Xi didn't know how Shu Jiao had managed it, nor did she want to know.

All she knew was that her mother had brought her out of the village and they soon had everything, so her mother was the most amazing.

Shu Jiao raised her hand and rubbed her head, "You can do it too in the future."

Amidst laughter and conversation, the two fleets met.

"Master, young master."

"May the master be well! May the young master be well."

"well done."

Upon meeting, Shu Jiao offered a word of praise, then her gaze fell upon the group of people following behind, "Who are these?"

"Here's the thing, boss. When we came from the Nanming Strait (fictional), we happened to run into these fleets. They had encountered pirates, and we just happened to be passing by and gave them a hand,"

The captain explained, "We just happened to be going the same way, so we decided to travel together."

After listening, Shu Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly.

"They promised to give us 40% of the profits from the seafood."

The captain lowered his voice and explained.

Shu Jiao nodded slightly, "Alright, you guys continue along the route, I'll go back to the island."

Then she asked Qi Ye, "If you can't hold on, do you want to go back to Daxing with them?"
