The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

I have no way to repay the Princess for saving my life, so I can only repay her slowly by doing some work.

Seeing Xin'er say this, Ruan Mozhu said, "Alright, then you can be my personal maid tomorrow, so you won't be too tired." Xin'er thanked the princess for saying this. Ruan Mozhu finished decocting the medicine and prepared to take it to Wei Jingnan. Xin'er said she wanted to go with her, so she went to the prince's palace with the princess. When Xin'er saw the prince, she half-squatted and addressed him respectfully.

"This servant greets Your Highness." Wei Jingnan lay on the bed, looking quite well and happy. He was surprised, finding the girl unfamiliar; he'd never seen her before in the entire manor. Seeing Wei Jingnan's puzzled expression, Ruan Mozhu smiled and said, "Jingnan, do you remember? I mentioned her to you last time." Wei Jingnan scratched his head, thinking for a moment. Could this be Xin'er, whom Mozhu had mentioned before? Wei Jingnan smiled at Xin'er and said...

"Get up," Wei Jingnan asked Xin'er. "Are you Xin'er, the girl that Mozhu saved with silver that day?" Xin'er quickly replied when she heard the prince asking her a question.

"Yes, Your Highness, my father sold everything in the house because of his gambling addiction, but it still wasn't enough to cover his gambling expenses. So my father planned to sell Xin'er to Manchunlou. But Xin'er didn't blame my father, after all, he had his reasons."

When Wei Jingnan heard Xin'er say that, he felt that Xin'er was very sensible, so he asked again, "How old is Xin'er?"

"Eighteen years old," Wei Jingnan said with a smile. "Xin'er, you must take good care of the Princess Consort and ensure that nothing goes wrong, understand?"

Ruan Mozhu overheard Wei Jingnan's conversation with Xin'er and realized that the man in front of her loved her more than she had imagined. After getting to know Xin'er, Wei Jingnan found her to be quite naive, so he decided to have Xin'er and Mozhu have dinner with him. Wei Jingnan instructed the butler to prepare dinner, and the three of them dined together.

Xin'er had only been at the Prince's Mansion for a short time and hadn't wandered around much, but now that she was with the Prince and Princess, she saw the various scenes around the mansion. It was brightly lit, and there was a back garden in the courtyard. The back garden had the most lotus flowers, but none of them had bloomed by evening. However, it was still quite beautiful from a distance. The water in the back garden was huge, and the scenery was also quite beautiful.

Looking at every tree and blade of grass in the Prince's Mansion, Xin'er felt that the mansion was indeed very large. Wei Jingnan and Ruan Mozhu walked ahead, chatting and laughing, followed by Xin'er, and then a group of maids. Before they knew it, they had arrived at the dining hall. Ruan Mozhu quickly smiled at Xin'er and said, "Xin'er, let's go in together."

Seeing Ruan Mozhu's affectionate way of loving Xin'er, Wei Jingnan became jealous and snorted inwardly.

Ruan Mozhu noticed that Wei Jingnan was jealous, so she couldn't help but laugh. Her face lit up with a smile as she entered the living room.

The steward said to Wei Jingnan, "Your Highness, your dinner is ready. Please enjoy your meal." Wei Jingnan hummed in agreement and said, "You may all leave now. We have other matters to discuss." Everyone heard Wei Jingnan's order, so the servants all respectfully withdrew. Ruan Mozhu gestured for Xin'er to sit down, and Xin'er said with a smile.

"Your Highness, there's no need, this isn't appropriate," Ruan Mozhu said, seeing Xin'er being so polite to her. "Who was it that just now promised to repay me? Why are they being disobedient now?" Wei Jingnan, sitting to the side, laughed and said.

"Since Mozhu invites you to sit, then sit down." Xin'er sat down when the prince and princess told her to. Xin'er saw all kinds of delicious dishes and felt that rich people were different; they ate so well. Ruan Mozhu noticed that Xin'er didn't pick up any food.

She helped Xin'er pick up some food, and Xin'er replied, "Thank you, Your Highness." Xin'er saw that the prince and princess were drinking happily, but her purpose was not so simple. It was all a trick and a conspiracy. Xin'er was not as innocent and naive as she appeared on the surface. In fact, before entering the palace, Xin'er had received professional training. When the prince and princess were not paying attention, Xin'er secretly put two packets of medicine into Ruan Mozhu's and Wei Jingnan's wine glasses.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the living room where they were having their meal. Ruan Mozhu quickly smiled at Xin'er and said, "Xin'er, let's go in together." Wei Jingnan saw how much Ruan Mozhu loved Xin'er and began to feel jealous. He snorted inwardly.

Ruan Mozhu noticed Wei Jingnan's jealousy and couldn't help but laugh, her face beaming with joy. As they entered the living room, the butler addressed Wei Jingnan, "Your Highness, your dinner is ready." Ruan Mozhu and Wei Jingnan were completely unaware of the situation, still eating and laughing, when suddenly the butler knocked on the door and said, "Your Highness and Princess Xiao Hua are here to see you." Wei Jingnan replied.

"You may leave now. Tell Xiao Hua that the Princess and I will be there shortly," the steward said. "Yes, Your Highness." Wei Jingnan and Ruan Mozhu then spoke to Xin'er. "Xin'er, please eat slowly. There's no rush. We have some friends who need to discuss important matters, so we've decided to leave now."

Xin'er could only watch them leave angrily. She had made such thorough preparations, but they still left like this. Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws. Sigh.

Ruan Mozhu saw Xiao Hua and started talking to him, while Wei Jingnan just played around on the side, since he was just a fool anyway.

Thinking of the lecherous young master of his trusted confidant, Lord Wang, he told Xue'er that he wanted the people of Wuyue Tower to make sure that young master caused trouble at Wuyue Tower and that something bad happened to him.

Without this son, Lord Wang would probably be on the verge of collapse, after all, this was his son born in his old age. That's why Ruan Mozhu always tries to attack people's most vulnerable points.

Ruan Mozhu looked at Xiao Hua and saw the glint in his eyes. She knew he was surprised by her, but she didn't care about his opinion. She simply turned around and said, "That young master Wang is so lecherous. It's not difficult for a beautiful woman to lure him into committing a crime and sending him to prison. As long as this youngest son is in prison, I'm afraid this Lord Wang won't be so loyal to the Crown Prince." That's what Ruan Mozhu thought.

However, Xiao Hua said, "This probably won't have much impact. It would be better to sow discord between the Crown Prince and this Lord Wang, and then make Lord Wang harbor ulterior motives. That would be much more effective." Ruan Mozhu was impressed that Xiao Hua had thought of so many things. Thinking about Xiao Hua's suggestion, it was quite reasonable.

Ruan Mozhu looked at Xiao Hua and suddenly asked, "How is Hope Primary School doing? And what about the dye house and the clothing store?"

"Everything is going very well. The clothing store has opened and is very popular. The tailor shop is also in short supply. The dyeing workshop is also gradually receiving orders for the fabrics produced. However, our dyeing workshop only accepts orders for 100 bolts per month, which has attracted many merchants to flock to us. Your Highness, you are truly clever."

Xiao Hua thought for a moment and said, "This princess is really smart. She even opened a Hope Primary School and a dye house. I have also observed it. The dye house has places for workers to live and eat. It's practically a big family. And there's a Hope Primary School across the street. Many children who can't afford to go to school can go to school right away, which is very convenient for them."

This dyeing workshop is quite large, so it can accommodate many employees. Many people still come to work here. The dyeing workshop has built another floor. It hasn't been long, and they're already building another floor. The development is really fast.

The clothing stores were also in high demand, with many wealthy ladies coming to buy it. The fabric had a natural rose scent, which made it very popular, and they could even customize the fragrance. As a result, the fabric was truly very popular.

Clothes are also popular, but ready-made clothing stores are even more popular.

Looking at Xiao Hua's expression, Ruan Mozhu knew that he was very surprised.

“Okay, that’s how it should be. By the way, since we need flower petals in the fabric of the clothes, we also need to rent out a flower farm. After that, we need to hire people to take care of the flowers. This will create another job, and it will all be very beneficial to this country.” Ruan Mozhu knew that every move she made was slowly changing the country.

No wonder she found no beggars when she went out later; they must have all gone to the dye house, which was quite large, and Ruan Mozhu even decided to expand it.

More dyeing workshops and cloth factories can bring wealth to more people.

In reality, this money is essentially deducted from the rich and given to the poor. Ruan Mozhu is doing a great thing for the country and the people. Ruan Mozhu really thinks she is very good.

Xiao Hua looked at Ruan Mozhu with embarrassment. This princess must be making money like crazy. She's buying this bag and that. Her money is flowing in like crazy. Her clothing store is making thousands of taels a day, which is equivalent to making a fortune every day. It won't be long before she can recoup her costs. The Hope Primary School is also able to stay afloat. The dye house only accepts orders for 100 bolts of cloth each month. Because of the scarcity of goods, these 100 bolts are equivalent to 500 bolts for others.

The dyeing workshop can support itself with just one hundred orders a month.

That's about enough. The most profitable business is probably the clothing store, because the fabrics are all sourced from the dyeing workshop, so there's no need to buy inventory. They only need to pay the tailors' wages. After a simple calculation, Ruan Mozhu estimated a monthly profit of about 70,000 taels. This was after deducting wages and miscellaneous expenses, which was still about right. Ruan Mozhu thought about it and concluded that the clothing store was very profitable.

As for the dyeing workshop, they could only save a few dozen taels of silver a month. Ruan Mozhu didn't plan to keep it. She just thought that she would buy everyone good food and distribute the profits at the end of the month.

In short, the dyeing room doesn't make money in a month; it only supports the garment store. The dyeing room is also the source of income for so many workers and is a major project.

Ruan Mozhu decided to expand her business and take on more orders to make more money. However, she thought that scarcity increases value, so she decided not to take on orders to make money and instead focus on providing high-quality products to clothing stores. That would be the best approach.

Seeing Xiao Hua's expression, Ruan Mozhu asked, "What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Your Highness is so smart. If Your Highness continues to develop like this, you'll definitely become incredibly wealthy." Xiao Hua was telling the truth. After all, Ruan Mozhu is really shrewd and knows how to make money. Ruan Mozhu can earn fifty or sixty thousand taels a day now. Just think about how much that is in a month! Modern restaurants, skincare shops, and clothing stores—they're all incredibly good at making money.
