The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

If she were to open a branch, the income would be 100% higher, but problems such as investment, manpower, location selection, and promotion would follow one after another. Moreover, she couldn't rely on Wei Jingnan's influence now, and Ruan Mozhu was unwilling to rely on Wei Jingnan's influence. However, these problems were indeed not something she could figure out or solve in a short time.

"This is..." After finishing what she was doing, Su'er immediately returned to Ruan Mozhu's side. Seeing Ruan Mozhu deep in thought, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. However, the moment Su'er spoke, she regretted it.

If interrupting Ruan Mozhu's train of thought didn't cause any serious consequences, that would be fine. But if accidentally interrupting her train of thought, especially when she was pondering a very important question, and she was so startled by the interruption that she forgot everything, then it would be disastrous. You see, Su'er now admires the princess in front of her immensely and is extremely curious about her, wishing she could take a hammer and crack open Ruan Mozhu's head to see what's inside.

Su'er's reaction is actually quite normal. After all, Ruan Mozhu traveled from the modern era and was accustomed to modern culture, while Su'er was accustomed to the culture and customs of this dynasty. In comparison, Ruan Mozhu's ideas appear quite original and different.

"Ah," Ruan Mozhu seemed to have just woken up, glancing up at Su'er before her eyes slowly cleared, making Su'er nervous. Could the Princess's innovative ideas really be interrupted by my unintentional remark?

Ruan Mozhu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Su'er, and seeing the tension in Su'er's eyes, she couldn't help but ask, "Su'er, what's wrong? Why do you look so nervous? Did something happen?" As she spoke, Ruan Mozhu looked around, but did not find anything suspicious or any suspicious figures.

Su'er raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Ruan Mozhu, and couldn't help but become more nervous. However, under Ruan Mozhu's gaze full of surprise and doubt, Su'er finally spoke slowly, stammering, "I... I just saw that you seemed to be thinking about something, but I didn't see it beforehand, and then I spoke without paying attention or being on guard, interrupting your train of thought. I was afraid that you would be angry or something after interrupting your train of thought."

"Oh my!" Ruan Mozhu immediately understood. So Su'er was afraid she'd be angry if she interrupted her train of thought. Ruan Mozhu smiled in relief and quickly explained, "It's nothing, it's nothing, just a small thing, it'll pass easily. I wasn't thinking about anything important just now, just something I'd been agonizing over. Besides, you don't need to be so nervous, I'm not going to eat you, am I?"

Su'er was clearly amused, and chuckled. Looking at Ruan Mozhu, she grinned and replied, "I understand."

"Hmm, go help the people down there; they seem to be short-handed. Also, see if we need to hire more people; if so, just recruit a few. I'll think about that other issue again," Ruan Mozhu said, though she was very puzzled. "Do I really look that much like a bad person?"

"Yes," Su'er replied. Although she was curious about the problem Ruan Mozhu had been pondering and wanted to help her solve it, after a fierce internal struggle, she made her final decision after hearing Ruan Mozhu's instructions. Su'er ultimately decided to follow Ruan Mozhu's arrangements, but she assumed that Ruan Mozhu's recruitment plan meant recruiting people under Prince Wei Jingnan.

Suddenly, Ruan Mozhu seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up, and her whole body seemed to begin to bloom with colorful light. For a moment, Ruan Mozhu had the feeling that she was a god.

"Su'er!" Ruan Mozhu cried out. Su'er, who was helping out, immediately rushed over, looked at Ruan Mozhu, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Mozhu looked at Su'er with pride and said, "Send an invitation to the owners of each restaurant as quickly as possible."

Su'er was puzzled by the invitation. Looking at Ruan Mozhu, she asked, "What's wrong? Why are you sending out invitations? Is there some important event at our restaurant?"

Ruan Mozhu narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Su'er in front of her with a mixture of mystery and excitement. Ruan Mozhu's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement, successfully piquing Su'er's curiosity. Ruan Mozhu said, "Su'er, let me tell you, not only our restaurant has a major event, but all the restaurants in Chang'an will be having major events."

"Ah!" Su'er was stunned, staring at Ruan Mozhu in front of her. Su'er had subconsciously thought that Ruan Mozhu had gone mad, but all the previous events proved that, before Su'er thought Ruan Mozhu was crazy, Ruan Mozhu's actions always surprised them and achieved surprisingly good results.

Ruan Mozhu's eyes were now filled with excitement as she looked at Su'er in front of her. At this moment, the excitement in Ruan Mozhu's heart was no longer limited to her eyes and heart, but had begun to spread to Ruan Mozhu's face.

Looking at Su'er in front of her, Ruan Mozhu said excitedly, "As for the content of the invitation, just say that we have a business opportunity here and hope that everyone can cooperate and make profits together. Whether the restaurant will give us the face or not is none of our business."

Who would dare refuse? Even if some people didn't know that Ruan Mozhu was backed by Wei Jingnan, the former Vice Minister of Personnel, Hua Song, was a genuine high-ranking official. How could a small, ordinary restaurant possibly compete with Ruan Mozhu? As for the larger restaurants, their information network was relatively efficient; most knew Ruan Mozhu's identity and the people behind her, so naturally, no one would refuse.

"Yes," Su'er nodded and left to write invitations for the restaurant owners.

Unexpectedly, after Su'er sent out the invitation to number 4, within about half an hour, almost everyone from the larger restaurants or larger establishments in the city had arrived.

This made Ruan Mozhu extremely happy.

"Young lady, what do you want with all of us here? Are you going to kidnap us and wipe us out for the benefit of your Modern Restaurant?" Before Ruan Mozhu could even speak, someone below had already started shouting.

Ruan Mozhu's eyes turned cold. She had dared to court death when Ruan Mozhu was in the best mood, not only extinguishing her passion but also fueling her anger.

Without needing any prompting from Ruan Mozhu, Su'er had already made her move. Without holding back, Su'er lightly gathered her energy, performed several backflips, and was already in front of the troublemaker. Looking at him, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

"Isn't that the manager of Xiangmanlou? What's he doing here?" People nearby whispered among themselves. They had all heard about Xiangmanlou's slanderous behavior towards Modern Restaurant that morning. They hadn't expected the manager to come, but he actually had the audacity to show up and, even more brazenly, cause trouble again. Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

Su'er chopped at the man with a chop, but unexpectedly, the man suddenly shuddered and, under everyone's astonished gaze, his body went limp and he fell to the side.

Su'er immediately realized something, withdrew her hand, and slowly squatted down. After carefully examining the person's body, she looked at Ruan Mozhu and said in a deep voice, "He is dead."

“He did this premeditatedly.” Before anyone else could speak, Ruan Mozhu stepped forward and slowly spoke. She turned her gaze to Su'er, then swept it over everyone present, and said calmly, “Su'er, go and dispose of the body. Don't let the roadside dogs eat his corpse; it's such a waste for a dog to die.”

Everyone present was startled; what immense resentment this was!

"Reporting!" A bodyguard appeared in the study, clasped his hands in a fist salute, quickly knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Hmm," Wei Jingnan raised an eyebrow slightly, without looking up, his words already tinged with anger. His deep, magnetic voice spoke in a chilling tone, his regal aura seemingly emanating from his very bones: "Didn't I tell you not to come see me unless it's something extremely important? If others discover this and it exposes your secret guards, can you bear the responsibility?"

The guard trembled and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the news concerns the Princess."

"Hmm." What trouble has the princess gotten into this time? Thinking of Ruan Mozhu, even Wei Jingnan, who has never been afraid of anyone, is somewhat afraid of her. There's no way around it. As for the traditional virtues of obedience and submission, Ruan Mozhu doesn't possess any of them. As for the proper reserve a woman should have, Wei Jingnan seriously doubts whether Ruan Mozhu has swallowed it all.

"Nian," Wei Jingnan said in a deep voice. This single word clearly illustrated Ruan Mozhu's position in his heart. In fact, the guards had already understood Ruan Mozhu's importance to him when he first placed them by her side. However, while Wei Jingnan had somewhat sensed the change in himself, Ruan Mozhu, the heroine of the story, was clearly still completely unaware of it.

The guard stiffened abruptly, lowered his head, and dared not look at Wei Jingnan, a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Hmm," Wei Jingnan slightly raised his eyes, looking at the guards in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with you all lately? You're all acting like little girls. Just say what you want to say. What's the use of beating around the bush?"

What's the use of blaming us? When we report to you, what we fear most is your anger. It was alright before, but ever since the Princess entered the palace, your mood swings have become increasingly severe and you're more prone to emotional fluctuations than before. If the report is good, that's fine, but if it's bad...
