The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

Looking at her little savings account, Ruan Mozhu realized that she had accumulated a considerable fortune. It was enough to open a skincare store. Ruan Mozhu thought to herself that she would be quite wealthy in the future.

She became a rich woman herself, haha.

Ruan Mozhu took Su'er to the market to look at shops. This capital city, under the emperor's nose, is really prosperous. If she had many shops here, she would really make a fortune.

Ruan Mozhu went out onto the street, looking around absentmindedly. Su'er was a little nervous beside her. She was dressed as a man again. What if something happened? The princess was so fearless.

"Your Highness, young master, let's go back. After all, you are a woman. What if something happens if you dress up as a man and flaunt yourself in this market?" Su'er still seemed unaccustomed to it. Ruan Mozhu snapped open her folding fan and elegantly fanned herself, blowing her hair in the wind. She looked dashing and debonair. Even though Su'er was a woman, she was still stunned. But as stunning as she was, she couldn't help but worry.

"Young Master!" Su'er was anxious, fearing that Ruan Mozhu had gone to some brothel again.

"It's alright, don't worry, we're just going to look at the shop." Ruan Mozhu was indeed just going to look at the shop and didn't want to think about the playboy for the time being.

Seeing how nervous Su'er was, Ruan Mozhu couldn't help but chuckle.

She patted her shoulder and smiled, saying, "It's okay."

Su'er knew that she wouldn't change her mind, so she could only follow silently behind. Ruan Mozhu was quite satisfied with Su'er, so she took the lead and went into the pawnshop. This pawnshop not only allowed people to pawn things, but also knew about recent shop transfers, so it was also like a middleman.

"Boss, do you know any good locations for sale recently? Money is no object." Ruan Mozhu was a tycoon, so she didn't care about anything.

The shop owner immediately recognized the two young men as wealthy men, both with refined features and clothes of excellent quality. They were clearly well-off, and the wealthy commanded respect.

Ruan Mozhu is now enjoying the comfort that money and status bring her.

"Yes, of course, sir. Please have a seat. What do you need the shop for? I'll help you think of the most suitable location." The shopkeeper smiled, his face full of wrinkles, looking truly pitiful. Ruan Mozhu turned her head away, closed her fan, and sat down, gesturing for Su'er to sit down as well. Su'er had a cold expression on her face, showing no emotion whatsoever, and seemed quite dissatisfied.

Ruan Mozhu turned to the shopkeeper and said, "We want to open a skincare store. You wouldn't understand even if I explained. Just tell me where the best location is, the price, the area, and the size." The shopkeeper was slightly taken aback by Ruan Mozhu's straightforwardness; this young master was indeed very decisive.

“A shop in the heart of the most bustling Nanbao Street area would cost around 100,000 taels of silver. It would be two rooms on three floors, which is quite a good deal,” the shopkeeper said to Ruan Mozhu after a moment’s thought.

Ruan Mozhu thought it was pretty good. After all, that street was very prosperous, and many noble ladies lived there. There were also many officials' residences there. The so-called Nanbao Street was a very prosperous area in the south.

Moreover, it's in a central location, so it must be really nice.

“Alright, we’ll take the shop you mentioned.” Ruan Mozhu snapped open her folding fan and smiled elegantly.

"Alright, then I'll take you there, young master. I'll have to trouble you to come with me." The shopkeeper bowed deeply in gratitude.

"Thank you." Ruan Mozhu gestured for Su'er to pay the brokerage fee. Su'er reluctantly took out some loose silver from her sleeve and gave it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was still happy to see the silver. Ruan Mozhu went out, and the shopkeeper quickly gave some instructions to his apprentice and then followed her out.

“Young master, South Street is too far. It would probably take half an hour to walk there. I have a carriage, and I will drive it. Please take a seat.” The shopkeeper gestured to a simple carriage by the roadside. It seemed convenient, so they got in. Su’er got in, and the shopkeeper drove.

"Young master, that shop is really nice, lively, and crowded, perfect for doing business. You should think it over carefully and make your move sooner rather than later." The shopkeeper was afraid that Ruan Mozhu might change her mind after seeing the shop, so he kept nagging along the way. Su'er found it annoying, but Ruan Mozhu listened and thought it was alright. In short, the place was really nice.

To run a successful business, store decoration and promotions are essential, and of course, good products are the foundation.

After a bustling journey, the carriage finally arrived at Nanbao Street. With Su'er's help, Ruan Mozhu got off the carriage and felt that this place was definitely a pleasant surprise. It was very lively and prosperous, while the Prince's Mansion was located on a quiet street. However, the mansion was very prosperous, which was good for the peace and quiet and also to prevent it from being a mixed bag of people.

The pawnshop owner led Ruan Mozhu into the shop, and sure enough, the shop was alright, in a good location.

Judging from the current state of this shop, it will need to be completely renovated after purchase, otherwise it won't be presentable. The shop is in a sorry state now, even the table corners are broken, no wonder it needs to be sold.

"Boss Wang, who is this?" A shopkeeper came out to greet him. Seeing Boss Wang, he knew the buyer had arrived, so he asked his name.

The shop owner laughed heartily and continued, "This young master wants to buy your shop and has come to discuss it with you."

The shop owner looked Ruan Mozhu up and down, and Ruan Mozhu nodded and smiled slightly as a sign of politeness.

The shop owner, unable to contain his excitement, asked, "Young master, are you truly serious about buying this shop? This land has been passed down from our ancestors. Will you manage this shop well?"

His eyes were full of sincerity.

Ruan Mozhu smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I will treat the shop as my own family, and I will never let it fall into ruin." Ruan Mozhu quoted a line from TV to show her sincerity.

The shop owner was very satisfied. "Let me introduce it to you."

"I won't need it, everyone. I'll take my leave now." The pawnshop owner left.

The shop owner smiled slightly and introduced the shop to Ruan Mozhu and Su'er.

"This shop used to be a restaurant, but it's closed down now because it's too expensive, so we decided to sell it. This is the main hall, this is the back courtyard, and this is the kitchen." After introducing the area below, the shop owner led Ruan Mozhu and Su'er to the second floor, explaining as they walked.

"This is the second floor, these are the guest rooms, this is the first-class room, this is the second-class room, this is the standard guest room. Upstairs, please follow me. This is the storage room, for storing miscellaneous items." After introducing everything, Ruan Mozhu thought it was pretty good and decided to buy it.

"Shopkeeper, name your price." The shopkeeper looked quite old; it was time for him to enjoy his retirement.

"Young master, you're a straightforward person. One hundred thousand taels." The shopkeeper said.

"I agree to this price." Ruan Mozhu had enough money with her today. She had pawned her valuable jewelry some time ago and had accumulated a small fortune.

The shopkeeper was delighted and quickly gestured for him to proceed, saying, "Young master, this way please, let's make the deal now."

After they sat down, Su'er paid the money, and Ruan Mozhu accepted the land deed. The cooperation was pleasant.

After leaving this place, the first thing Ruan Mozhu did upon returning home was to draw up plans, designing the renovation, and thinking about things like the pearl production area, and finding a reliable manufacturer, so she was quite deep in thought.

"Su'er, are there any large seas or lakes near the capital that produce pearls in large quantities? I want to make money with these pearls."

Ruan Mozhu thought that pearls would be very popular in skincare products.

“No, pearls are produced in lakes far away. The reason why these pearls are so expensive is because they are produced in distant places. If you buy them from places where they are produced in large quantities, the price will be several times lower.” Su’er knew quite a lot.

Su'er's analysis from the side made sense, and Ruan Mozhu thought, "This is even better, there are no competing forces."

"Su'er, you spend money to find someone to go to the pearl-producing areas and set up a pearl purchasing center. Select large and round pearls and buy them in bulk. This will make it easier for the people there to sell their pearls. Then, the pearls can be sent to us. We'll spend money to buy them all." Ruan Mozhu thought that this would be a big investment, and it definitely couldn't be wasted.

"Your Highness, I believe in you. You'll definitely make a lot of money. I'll go right now." Ruan Mozhu smiled with satisfaction.

After Su'er left, Ruan Mozhu continued with her work.

"What? Su'er, what else did the Princess Consort instruct?" Wei Jingnan asked Su'er. Su'er was thinking about whether to tell the Prince about the Princess Consort's desire to expand her power. No, she couldn't. The Princess Consort trusted her so much; she couldn't betray her.

“No, the princess just wants to make money with pearls,” Su’er replied.

"This Ruan Mozhu, with so many tricks up her sleeve, did she marry a princess or a merchant?" Wei Jingnan was speechless. His beloved concubine was simply obsessed with money, all she thought about all day long was money, money, money.

"You may leave now. Do your best to help the Princess. If you are truly unable to help, then come and find me. Do not let the Princess know." Wei Jingnan's cold expression returned.

"Yes." Su'er retreated in fear. The feeling of deceiving the prince was truly oppressive. She would never do it again.

During dinner, Ruan Mozhu was quite quiet, preoccupied with her thoughts on her skincare shop. What name should she choose? Perhaps she should call it "Cosmetics Shop".

How concise and easy to understand! I'm so clever.

"My beloved concubine, what are you laughing at?" Wei Jingnan looked at Ruan Mozhu and suddenly shook his head and laughed, as if he had just thought of something. Wei Jingnan had been a bit busy these past few days and hadn't spent much time with Ruan Mozhu, but Ruan Mozhu was still so happy, which made Wei Jingnan a little unhappy.

I feel like I'm dispensable, like I'm being ignored.

"It's nothing, Your Highness. I've been very busy lately, so please don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Haha." Wei Jingnan laughed. He couldn't believe Ruan Mozhu told him not to bother her. She was his princess consort, and he, the prince, couldn't even bother her.

"I heard you're planning to open a shop soon. Can you tell me your way to make money?" Wei Jingnan asked with great interest. What strange idea did this little girl have this time? She was just so interesting.

What he didn't know was that Ruan Mozhu wasn't even from this world. Wouldn't he be shocked? According to Ruan Mozhu's logic, Wei Jingnan was almost a thousand years older than her.

Just thinking about it makes me laugh out loud. A difference of over a thousand years—if Wei Jingnan knew, would he feel like he had a split personality and be shocked?

"Anyway, don't worry about it. You're happy to have a rich wife, aren't you? Who am I? I'm Ruan Mozhu, and I'll be the richest woman in the capital in the future, your prized wife, haha." Ruan Mozhu became more and more smug, and suddenly choked on her food, her face turning red and her neck thick. She kept asking for water. Wei Jingnan was speechless. This woman deserved it.

Get carried away.
