Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Chapter 1285 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 7

"Crackling~"

The raging fire burned fiercely, completely incinerating the house and the gloom that filled it.

The muscle-softening powder only makes people feel weak, not numb.

The air was thick with the smell of burning meat, and I could feel the scorching fire searing my flesh; the pain was deep, penetrating to my very bones and soul.

The billowing smoke blocked his throat and nose, causing him to suffocate several times.

But ironically, they couldn't even struggle.

Even the agonizing cries of pain are a luxury.

They could only watch helplessly as they were slowly consumed by the flames.

Life vanished in the flames.

In the end, only charred bones remained, becoming fodder for others' gossip.

Shu Jiao is gone.

Not even bothering to see what would happen to them, he took Zhang Shu straight to Sanzhong Village that very night.

Zhang Shu looked down at the road and followed carefully and quietly, not stopping even when she was tired.

"mother?"

Sensing that Shu Jiao had stopped walking, Zhang Shu looked up with some confusion.

Before us was a pitch-black cave.

"I'm going to burn down the Shu family's ancestral graves now,"

Shu Jiao didn't intend to hide it from her. "Your maternal grandfather and the others knew that your father wanted to kill us, but they pretended not to know and tried to kill my mother and me."

"Do you want to come with me to set a fire, or rest here and wait for me to come pick you up when I'm done?"

"Grandpa..."

Zhang Shu pursed her lips, incredulously asking, "They knew too?"

Wuwuwu——

She and her mother were truly pitiful, an orphan and a widow!

"I will follow you."

Zhang Shu spoke in a deep voice, tightly gripping Shu Jiao's clothes.

Actually, she was also a little afraid that her mother would abandon her.

So, whatever her mother was going to do, she was willing to follow. Whether it was murder or arson, she had already done it all, so what difference would a little more make?

Even if she were to die, she wanted to die with her mother.

"So nice."

Shu Jiao casually pinched her cheek. "Let's go, let's avenge our mother and me."

"go!"

Zhang Shu said aggressively.

The two, one big and one small, climbed down the hillside, then took a small path around Sanzhong Village, and went straight to the Shu family ancestral graves that the original owner had repeatedly worshipped.

Speaking of those ancient people who had even a little bit of status...

Ancestral graves are often placed close together.

Tell me...

How convenient!

Looking up and around, all they could hear were the calls of cuckoos in the forest and the rustling of the wind through the treetops. There was no one else around.

This time, Shu Jiao isn't worried about implicating others.

In this village, almost everyone is related by blood or kinship.

Shu's father and mother were despicable; according to the ancient principle that misfortune could extend to three generations, burning them all would not be an exaggeration.

Shu Jiao's movements were very skillful.

She was so skilled that Zhang Shu was speechless, and then hurriedly went up to help her carry her things.

Then, Shu Jiao handed Zhang Shu a torch.

The mother and daughter let go, and flames shot into the sky along with the spilled oil, burning a fiery dragon on the mountain with the wind.

Zhang Shu stared intently at the firelight, her gaze focused, as if some consciousness was slowly awakening.

"Walk."

Shu Jiao led her away quickly down the path against the wind.

"Shu'er, from now on, you will take your mother's surname. In this world, it will only be the two of us, mother and daughter, relying on each other for survival."

Shu Jiao said in a low voice.

"it is good."

Zhang Shu nodded in agreement, "Mother, what should I be called from now on?"

"Your name is... Shu Xi."

Xi means bright and radiant.

With her as her mother, Shuxi's future is sure to be bright and promising.

Shu Jiao's eyes curved slightly. "Having suddenly ascended the Azure Cloud, all the joyous events are complete. Do you like it?"

Zhang Shu remembered the character and nodded happily, "Shuxi, Mother, from now on I will be called Shuxi."

The mother and daughter happily descended the mountain.

As for the ancestral graves on the mountain...

Hopefully, the older generation of the Shu family will be able to withstand this shock when they wake up tomorrow. If not, they can go down to apologize to their ancestors on the way.

Ancient times also had their advantages.

These days, without banks or online supervision, Shu Jiao can freely take out and use her gold and jewelry.

Shu Jiao: "San'er, get us a household registration."

To avoid having to bribe someone, which could easily lead to a leak.

"Two points."

"You deduct it."

It's just two integrals, isn't it?

Having made a fortune in the last century, Shu Jiao is now very willing to spend it.

Although she was always willing to part with it.

"Okay~!"

003 is a good system; it gets things done once points are collected.

Soon, two household registration certificates were in Shu Jiao's hands, and they were flawless.

Holding his household registration and the travel permit provided by 003, he entered the city as a businessman.

"Xi'er, let's change our clothes first."

Shu Jiao said.

Shu Xi nodded slightly, then whispered, "Mother, do we have enough money on hand?"

"There are plenty of them."

Shu Jiao, without batting an eye, began to lie, "Most of my dowry was untouched, and the money Zhang Zizhao often sent home is still in my hands. It's enough for my daughter and me to live on for a lifetime."

Hearing this, Shu Xi finally felt relieved. "Then, Mother, let's find another place to stay."

There are too many acquaintances here.

If they are recognized, it will be troublesome.

Shu Jiao: "Of course, we still have to go to Beijing. Zhang Zizhao is still there."

Shu Xi understood that her mother still needed to go to the capital to cause trouble for Zhang Zizhao.

As she spoke, Shu Jiao stuffed her treasured items into her hands, head, and body.

I also put some on myself as well.

Then the two went into the cloth shop.

The shopkeeper noticed their clothes but didn't pay much attention at first, letting the waiter serve them.

but!

The sun shines outside.

The shopkeeper caught a glimpse of the gold filigree bracelet inlaid with red coral on Shu Jiao's wrist, and the gold filigree hairpin inlaid with gemstones and jade ruyi that was half-hidden in her hair, as well as the top-grade Hetian jade bracelet on Shu Xi's wrist when she raised her hand to touch the cloth...

Big customer!

A big client!

The innkeeper immediately pulled the waiter aside, "Oh my, what a distinguished guest! Xiao Dong, quick, serve tea to the madam and young lady. This way, madam."

Although the two were dressed casually, who knows if they were a mother and daughter who had decided to sneak out and hide their identities?

You should know that gold filigree bracelets and ruyi hairpins are not something that ordinary people can afford.

This mother and daughter must be of extraordinary status.

"Madam, look at our shop's newly arrived top-quality Wu silk. This piece of blue silk is so elegant and graceful; and this one, banana cloth from Lingnan, is the only one of its kind in the entire county!"

The shopkeeper said with great confidence, "If our cloth shop didn't also have business in Lingnan, we would never have this kind of cloth."

"And this Wu silk, its ice patterns shimmer and peek out as it moves, it's truly captivating..."

Top-quality Hangzhou silk, plain gauze...

The shopkeeper is quite discerning, selecting only expensive and comfortable fabrics.

Shu Jiao is the same.

Without even asking the price, he glanced at it and said, "This plain gauze is a bit lacking in quality; it's not thin and sheer enough, and it's also a bit heavy. But the floral and auspicious patterned brocade and the four-fold auspicious patterned gauze are quite well made."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up. "You're an expert!"

A quick glance reveals that these are all commonly used items.

He read that right.

This mother and daughter must be extremely wealthy and powerful!

He absolutely has to push all these high-end products out today!
