Xu Rongrong was in a daze. She didn't know why Mu Rong's topic changed so quickly.

They were obviously discussing the sinister plans of the former harem, but why did the topic suddenly change to whether he should return to his room or not?

There was a hint of doubt in her bright eyes, and her long eyelashes were fluttering. When she caught Mu Rong's eyes, he only felt numb in his heart.

The hot summer nights were originally irritating and unbearable, but why at this moment, he felt as if his limbs were being brushed by feathers, making him feel itchy and unbearable.

Seeing the girl's cheeks gradually becoming as pink as March peach blossoms, Mu Rong rolled his throat subconsciously. He originally wanted to tease her, but he never thought that she almost made him lose control with just one look.

He sighed helplessly in his heart, and then said: "If I am not in Xinghui Hall from now on, if Rong Rong has something important, you can go directly to the study to find me."

"Study?" Xu Rongrong was surprised. She knew the importance of the study to Weiyuan Hou Mansion and Mu Rong.

Not to mention here, in any palace of a courtier in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the study room is an important place in the home.

What's more, there is a huge secret hidden in Mu Rong's study: a list of thousands of members of the Mu family army!

This is a guard that has been carefully tempered by two generations of Weiyuan Marquis. Almost everyone can fight one against a hundred. They are scattered among various armies on a daily basis to monitor military forces and prevent unscrupulous people from plotting. If there is an emergency, , and can quickly gather real-time responses!

This is the privilege of the late emperor who appointed the old Weiyuan Marquis, and it is also the emperor's trust: only the successive Weiyuan Marquises know the list of the thousand-strong Mu family army. This matter is also a secret between the emperor and the Weiyuan Marquises. Even the princes cannot No way of knowing.

In the previous life, Mu Rong was framed and in trouble. Mu Yi felt deeply bad so he told her the secrets in the study. That's why she set fire to the study before the imperial army ransacked the house.

The reason why Wu Tianqi used Lin Jiaoyue to control Mu Rong must be because of this list.

After all, the way he ascended the throne in his previous life was not glorious, and the Supreme Emperor is still alive. If the Supreme Emperor changes his mind one day, the Mu family army will be the sharp weapon that cuts off his lifeline! That's why after he ascended the throne, as soon as Mu Rong helped him clear up the border war, he couldn't wait to frame him.

He actually allowed himself to enter and leave such an important study room at will?

Xu Rongrong was a little suspicious: "The study is an important military and political place for the Marquis. How can the Marquis allow me, a woman from the back house who has only been here for less than half a month, to come in and out?"

Mu Rong's eyes were deep and he looked at her for a moment: "The name 'Tao Gong' is almost universally known in the business circles of the capital. Is Rong Rong really only willing to be a housewife?"

Hearing the hint of ridicule in his tone, Xu Rongrong lowered his head: "Everyone in the world knows that 'Tao Gong' is a man, what does it have to do with me."

"If Rongrong is only limited to one or two shops in the capital, others will naturally not be able to tell the difference... But now you are running multiple industries, and even caravans are about to set off. No matter how well you hide it, people will see it sooner or later. Something is wrong, you want to hide in the back house and take charge of the overall situation, but I'm afraid that won't work."

These two short sentences spoke directly into Xu Rongrong's heart.

She came to Wangjiang Pavilion just now because she was troubled by this matter, and she ended up here again without knowing it.

Although Luo Chen helped, it was not enough for her gradually expanding store.

Although Shu Qing and Luo Xiao are experts at one thing, they are not good at management after all.

No matter how capable Luo Chen is, he is still just one person... If she wants to make things bigger, she must find more people.

But now, as the wife of the Hou Mansion, it would be inappropriate for her to want to see Luo Chen and other men in the eyes of the world, let alone go out of the house to find a stranger who can help her?

To others, the person "Tao Gong" may be someone worth taking refuge in, or someone who needs to be guarded against, but to her, his identity cannot be revealed easily. In fact, Luo Chen's identity cannot withstand scrutiny. A year ago, he was still working in a car dealer, and he suddenly became a popular businessman in the capital. As long as interested people are willing to dig out, they will still dig her out.

Whether her identity should be revealed or not revealed really made her a little worried.

Most of the women of the Zhou Dynasty were confined to the back house, and even if they were running the business, it was mostly a store at home, leaving it to one or two shopkeepers. If it turned out as she expected, it could only be described as shocking.

At this time, she didn't want to be so eye-catching.

It was difficult to have both ends. She was deeply trapped in this trouble, but she never thought that Mu Rong would point it out.

She sighed: "I don't know that the vision in the back house is limited, but now the Marquis's plan is to seize the power of the direct descendant. If I am targeted, I am afraid it will affect the overall situation."

Mu Rong's eyes lit up when he heard this: "It turns out that Rong Rong's silence was actually for me."

When he said this, the joy in his tone was clearly evident.

"That's not the case..."

"But what you just said was clearly because you were worried about ruining my plan." Mu Rong took a step closer, "The little girl is used to being harsh."

"What the Marquis has planned is a big deal after all..."

"Rong Rong's matter is also a big deal in my eyes!" Mu Rong interrupted her.

Xu Rongrong was stunned.

She raised her head, only to find that the man opposite her had been so close to her at some point. When their breaths merged together, she smelled the scent of pine orchid on his body.

She subconsciously wanted to retreat, but there was already a window frame behind her, and she had no way to retreat.

"Then what can Master Hou do?" She glanced to the side and asked uncomfortably.

Seeing her eyes dodge, Mu Rong laughed: "The method is very simple, I will hand over all the properties in my hands to your hands, but whether it is building a shop across the bank or forming a caravan, it will not attract attention... After all, what you have in your hands is the property of the Hou Mansion."

Before last year's New Year's Eve, the new year's gift he sent to the Xu Mansion included all the shops and farms in the Hou Mansion, but his little girl later returned it.

Presumably she didn't want to get involved in his property and wanted to separate herself from him! Now... is she still willing to shirk such a temptation?

Xu Rongrong naturally understood what he was thinking, and she subconsciously pinched her fingers.

What should I do... I’m really tempted!

But do you really want to take over his property? Wouldn't her entanglement with the Hou Mansion become deeper and deeper?

"Third brother's territory is close to Fuhai. After border trade is reopened, the caravans there can go directly to Yingzhou..." Mu Rong continued to confuse.

Fuhai Pearl has not yet appeared, so it would be easy for him to expose himself if he used this as an excuse, but the idea of ​​going to sea for business would also be a great temptation for her.

Sure enough, Xu Rongrong's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

Then she added: "But business is not my specialty. If the Marquis's property suffers losses in the future..."

"It doesn't matter, the wealth I have saved is enough to tolerate losses." Mu Rong smiled, his eyes full of doting.

Xu Rongrong: "...I won't really lose that much."

After all, Fuhai Pearl is guaranteed...

"So Rong Rong can come in and out of my study at any time."

"In that case, thank you so much, Lord Marquis."

Seeing that she no longer refused, Mu Rong also breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Xu Rongrong must understand the importance of the study. He opened such an important and secret place to her. He wondered if he could get her heart to open slightly for him...
