The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

Ruan Mozhu arranged to meet Bu Yu. When she saw Bu Yu, he was still the same handsome young man. Ruan Mozhu looked at his attire and realized that he was indeed very wealthy.

"Lend me one million taels of silver, and I'll pay 10% interest after one year." Ruan Mozhu's immediate request to borrow money made Bu Yu's eyelids twitch.

"Okay, Xiaozhu, I'll give you whatever you want."

Bu Yu's easygoing nature made Ruan Mozhu's eyelids twitch. Was he up to no good?

"Bu Yu, just tell me what you want." Ruan Mozhu wasn't used to beating around the bush.

Ruan Mozhu knew he must have requirements. Businessmen believe in not being taken advantage of. After all, with such a large sum of money being spent, one should at least feel secure and at ease.

Bu Yu smiled and lowered her eyes. "Xiao Zhu is smart. That's right. I have a request, which is to divorce Prince Qi and be with me openly and honestly." Divorce in ancient times meant that when a woman divorced a man, the property was usually not divided equally. Whoever had the money kept it. If the woman had no money, she would leave with nothing.

Ruan Mozhu found it laughable. Why should she be asked to divorce Wei Jingnan? Ruan Mozhu could only laugh and say, "A divorce is impossible. I will not divorce Prince Qi just because you are rich. Relatively speaking, Prince Qi is the best match for me. He has power and money. It's just that I don't want to trouble him. Bu Yu, don't push your luck. If you help me today, I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future." Ruan Mozhu really felt that Bu Yu had gone too far.

Besides, Wei Jingnan is so powerful, while he is just a prince.

In terms of power, appearance, and money, they might be about the same, but Ruan Mozhu felt there was no need for a divorce.

Bu Yu smiled, her eyes bright, and said, "Alright, you're a straightforward person, Xiao Zhu, I support you. But don't forget the 10% interest and the condition you owe me." Bu Yu said this to prevent Ruan Mo Zhu from overthinking and feeling pressured, and also to let her know that she didn't get something for nothing.

Ruan Mozhu smiled. This Bu Yu was indeed a shrewd businesswoman, but that was exactly what she wanted. She needed this kind of partner for a win-win situation.

Ruan Mozhu and Bu Yu walked together on the street. Ruan Mozhu remembered that day and the aphrodisiac incident, but she said embarrassedly, "I was also tricked that day, so don't take it to heart." Ruan Mozhu felt it was necessary to explain.

Ruan Mozhu was dressed in a white robe, and her hair ornaments were beautiful but had an exotic flair. Bu Yu's profile was perfect. Ruan Mozhu could only think that this refined man, who could turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist, could only be a friend, and that a future with him was impossible.

The streets were bustling with people and carriages, and no one paid attention to Ruan Mozhu and Bu Yu. This made the two of them feel particularly at ease. Ruan Mozhu thought carefully that if she were to develop Zhuqing Pavilion, she would first have to obtain rewards by accepting missions and killing people, and secondly, she would have to develop industries so that her industries could spread all over the world.

Ruan Mozhu pondered, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

Bu Yu suddenly stopped because a fast horse was rushing towards them. Ruan Mozhu was shocked, but it was too late to dodge. Bu Yu pushed her and sent her flying. Bu Yu was hit hard and kicked far away, lying quietly on the ground.

Ruan Mozhu's eyes widened in shock. "Bu Yu! Bu Yu!" Ruan Mozhu rushed over. Bu Yu's forehead was bleeding profusely, and she was completely at a loss. Bu Yu had actually been so kind to her; Bu Yu had saved her.

For some reason, Ruan Mozhu remained strong, strong enough to die for Wei Jingnan, yet she didn't die for him. "I've loved others, but no one has ever loved me. Bu Yu, you absolutely cannot be hurt. If anything happens to you, I, Ruan Mozhu, will owe you so much."

Ruan Mozhu held his head, tears streaming down her face. "What are you all looking at? Hurry up and find a doctor! All of you, go find a doctor!" Ruan Mozhu was extremely nervous, feeling that people were treacherous and that only the person she was holding in her arms was the warmest comfort.

“It’s impossible that he was hit straight away without dodging. Given Bu Yu’s skills, that’s absolutely impossible.” Wei Jingnan was very puzzled in the study. It turned out that Bu Yu’s injury was caused by him. If Ruan Mozhu found out, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause.

The guard bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, Bu Yu is seriously injured, and the Princess is taking good care of her." The guard's voice was steady, but he knew that the prince must be furious. Although the prince had injured his rival, he had brought the Princess closer to Bu Yu. If the Princess found out, the prince would lose her heart.

Wei Jingnan suddenly sat down and laughed loudly, "Buyu, as expected, you are a cunning businessman. In terms of strategy, I am still no match for you. You used a scheme to get Ruan Mozhu closer to you. You thought you could take advantage of this? Don't even think about acting. I'll play along." Wei Jingnan's words were like a sharp sword, making everyone who saw him retreat in fear.

The guards understood, but they remained silent with their heads down.

Bu Yu was at his own home when Ruan Mozhu brought him back. Bu Yu's home was luxurious yet elegant. His servants and personal doctor were all excellent. This made Ruan Mozhu feel that although Bu Yu was rich and his home was nice, he lacked human warmth.

"Your Highness, His Majesty's health has been severely damaged. He will likely need a month of proper recuperation before he can get out of bed," the doctor said. His eyes were calm, and his voice was even, as if he was not worried at all about His Majesty's injury.

Ruan Mozhu casually asked, "Why aren't you worried about your master being so badly injured?" If it were a servant in her own Wangfu family, they would probably be crying and screaming if she or Wei Jingnan were injured.

The doctor smiled calmly and said, "Master used to be frequently injured. Some injuries took half a year to recover from, while others were serious bone and tendon injuries, much more severe than this. Yet, Master always pulled through. We all believe in Master."

His words saddened Ruan Mozhu. This Bu Yu, who looked so refined and beautiful, how could he be injured so often?

Sure enough, Ruan Mozhu slowly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing clearly defined muscles, but with several marks on it that looked like they had been there for a long time. Ruan Mozhu then silently helped him put the shirt back on.

"No wonder you were so confident in blocking it for me. You think you're very strong and used to getting hurt." Ruan Mozhu lowered her eyes and looked at his refined yet handsome face.

Ruan Mozhu took the herbal medicine bowl from the doctor and applied it to his forehead.

"This is Centella asiatica, which has a restorative effect. With such a beautiful appearance, Master, it cannot be damaged," the doctor explained from the side.

Ruan Mozhu quietly helped him apply the medicine. Soon, the medicine was ready, and the decoction came. It smelled particularly bitter. Ruan Mozhu fed the medicine to Bu Yu.

Bu Yu's lips were tightly closed, and he couldn't swallow the medicine at all. Ruan Mozhu had someone forcibly pry open his mouth and carefully fed him the medicine.

"Bu Yu, you must wake up. What will I do if you don't wake up? I still need to borrow money from you." Ruan Mozhu had some selfish motives, but most of her hope was that he could get better. Ruan Mozhu actually thought that Bu Yu was a really good person.

Wei Jingnan was in his study and was quite annoyed because Ruan Mozhu hadn't returned yet. If he hadn't felt guilty, he would have dragged Ruan Mozhu back long ago. After all, he was the one who injured Bu Yu, and Wei Jingnan felt a little guilty.

Ruan Mozhu still hadn't returned. That woman was truly annoying; she still hadn't come back. It was already dusk. After Wei Jingnan had taken a nap, Ruan Mozhu still hadn't returned. The weather was getting cooler, and Wei Jingnan felt lonely and sad. "Ruan Mozhu, come back to me! I was wrong. I shouldn't have hurt Bu Yu. My target was Bu Yu, but I never thought he would go along with it and become a good person. You were deceived by him, you foolish woman!"

Ruan Mozhu was still taking care of Bu Yu. She felt guilty and worried because Bu Yu hadn't woken up yet, but she still had to go back. After all, it would be bad for her reputation if she didn't go back to him at night, and it was inappropriate in the first place.

Ruan Mozhu was about to leave when Bu Yu grabbed her wrist. His lips, which had regained some color, murmured, "Xiaozhu, don't go. Brother Yu is here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

His voice was extremely pleasant, which inexplicably stirred a sense of pity in Ruan Mozhu. This jade was exceptionally good, but unfortunately, they were destined to be apart; she was already married and could no longer be with him.

Unfortunately, Bu Yu, a wealthy and handsome businessman, was so infatuated with her. Well, it was a feeling that started in childhood, how could he forget it so quickly? Ruan Mozhu believed that one day, Bu Yu would become her friend, without any feelings between them. At this moment, Ruan Mozhu hoped that it was Bu Yu who lost his memory, not Wei Jingnan. Oh well, it doesn't matter who loses their memory, I'll just lose mine.

Ruan Mozhu felt like she was getting confused. These things were too complicated. She really wished she could have amnesia and take a trip on a whim.

Ruan Mozhu believed that all of this would pass. In the near future, all these feelings would fade away, disappear. Youth fades quickly, beauty withers, passion fades, and then there would be nothing left, truly nothing left.

Ruan Mozhu is both easily indifferent to fame and fortune, and yet she is not easily indifferent to them. She is easily indifferent to love, but she cannot be indifferent to fame and fortune. These things will entangle her throughout her life.

She thought that her future would revolve around fame and fortune, and she would stay away from all love and romance.

Ruan Mozhu was filled with endless emotions. It turned out that she had really taken it all in stride. So-called love was nothing more than a belief to enrich life in her youth.

These are nothing at all.

Why does Ruan Mozhu work so hard? It's so that she can make a name for herself in the future.

Ruan Mozhu returned to the Prince's mansion, only to find the lights still on, presumably waiting for her. Feeling exhausted from the day's events, she quickly snuggled into bed to sleep, only to be pulled into a warm embrace by a pair of large hands. Ruan Mozhu was surprised for a second but gladly accepted.

Who else could it be but Wei Jingnan?

"Why are you so late? You've kept me waiting for so long." Wei Jingnan's tone was somewhat coquettish, but Ruan Mozhu was speechless. This Wei Jingnan really was unpredictable, always changing his mind like a child.

Ruan Mozhu was quite happy. Fortunately, Wei Jingnan had lost his memory and was easy to fool. Before, when he was so intelligent, he would have questioned her a lot and his expression would not have been very good.
