The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

Earning money like this every day must be quite profitable. A list of the wealthiest businessmen in the capital has appeared these past few days, with Bu Yu ranking first, while the Princess Consort has entered the top ten. That's a rapid rise! After all, the Princess Consort is just a woman, an ordinary woman, yet she has achieved so much. Isn't that a testament to her ability?

The princess is the only woman in the top ten of the richest businessmen list, which makes her even more remarkable. The princess is known to the outside world as Madam Bamboo. No one knows that Princess Ruan Mozhu is actually Madam Bamboo. If this were to become common knowledge, people would probably be shocked. It's hard to believe that the princess can do business and do it so well.

Ruan Mozhu looked at Xiao Hua, knowing he was incredulous towards her, but she smiled and said, "You must remember to use the methods your secret guards use to train experts on the people of our Bamboo Green Pavilion. This will help the Bamboo Green Pavilion grow even better. In about half a month, we can move into the Bamboo Green Pavilion. Xiao Hua, I'm afraid my lightness skill is not good enough yet. You must teach me lightness skill properly." Ruan Mozhu thought that the Bamboo Green Pavilion she had built was located at the top of the mountain, so if she wanted to go up, she would probably need lightness skill. Therefore, everyone in the Bamboo Green Pavilion had to be an expert, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to go up the mountain. What's even more terrifying is that...

The back path to Jiuhua Mountain is a cliff with an angle of almost ninety degrees. Going up is not an option, and going down is also a heart-stopping experience. Ruan Mozhu plans to build a secret passage in this place that no one thinks is passable.

Ruan Mozhu wondered how Xue'er and the Poison Brothers were doing. She guessed that with so many things to do, they must be exhausted.

After all, Xue'er still needs to train her own people, and the Poison Brothers also need to train their own people. I wonder how they are doing.

Ruan Mozhu was also thinking that since she was the leader of Zhuqing Pavilion, she had to create a token to prevent others from being disguised or impersonated.

In addition, it was indeed inconvenient to reveal Ruan Mozhu's identity to outsiders, otherwise who knows what trouble it would bring to the Qi Prince's Mansion. Since ancient times, the imperial court and the martial arts world have been separate entities, so Ruan Mozhu's involvement with the Zhuqing Pavilion could not be known to others.

Ruan Mozhu also had rules established: good officials, women, and children should not be killed; only those who commit crimes and are utterly wicked should be killed.

Although this would reduce Zhuqing Pavilion's business considerably, it would greatly enhance its reputation. Moreover, it wouldn't alienate enemies, since everyone involved would be justified. Ruan Mozhu's idea once again greatly surprised Xiao Hua. After all, Ruan Mozhu actually had such a grand idea and such a good method. It would reduce the number of enemies and the killing of good people, accumulate good karma, and gain a good reputation. After all, it would rid the entire martial arts world or even the world of evil, which is exactly what this world needs.

If every sect were thinking about making less money and killing fewer good people or honest officials, then the dynasty or country would probably be saved. But they only benefit themselves. Most sects are like this: they will take any job they can get and kill anyone who pays.

Thinking about it, it really is immoral, which is why those sects are generally not well-liked. But Ruan Mozhu's Zhuqing Pavilion is different. She doesn't kill good people, which is truly benevolent and moral. She is not blinded by money, and the reputation of Zhuqing Pavilion will gradually improve.

In business, reputation is of course the most important thing, so Ruan Mozhu pays great attention to it. As long as Zhuqing Pavilion has a good reputation, business will almost certainly improve.

Ruan Mozhu further instructed Xiao Hua to send people to train them, emphasizing not only reputation but also strength. Ruan Mozhu valued strength highly. Looking at Xiao Hua, she thought that with his high level of martial arts, the people he trained would certainly not be weak. Moreover, these people from Zhuqing Pavilion were all experts. Ruan Mozhu also wanted Xiao Hua to create a set of skills and techniques unique to Zhuqing Pavilion, so that it would be more visually appealing and consistent.

So Ruan Mozhu thought about it: what if modern Taekwondo were combined with ancient body techniques and footwork? Would the movement be different? Taekwondo can train skills and increase agility; combined with ancient footwork and posture, and modern acupoints, such as grappling techniques, how wonderful would it be to mix them all together?

Ruan Mozhu thought about it and felt that the idea was really good, after all, it was really good to be able to combine the ancient and the modern.

Xiao Hua was unaware of Ruan Mozhu's thoughts. If he had known, he would have been even more astonished, given how miraculous it was. He didn't know about modern movement techniques, but he knew how good these techniques were. She could grasp the tiger's mouth and then easily subdue her enemy. In the training ground, she easily defeated General Tiger, which surprised everyone. Thus, the princess's skills became legendary. Although some people wanted to learn from her, they couldn't get close to her because of her status.

"It's getting late. Xiao Hua, you should go back. By the way, train more of your trusted men. After all, we need to extend our reach further." Ruan Mozhu's words invigorated Xiao Hua. After all, a man should have ambition. Hearing Ruan Mozhu say this made him feel more energetic. He also had a wild heart, and being with Ruan Mozhu made him feel as if he were overlooking the world with her. This was a feeling he had always had when he followed the prince.

The prince had the world in his heart, yet he possessed unparalleled wisdom. He could have accomplished great things in the future, but unfortunately, he was now mentally impaired, making it impossible for him to achieve anything in the future. Ruan Mozhu knew about this mental impairment; she knew it was amnesia, and that it would probably resolve itself after a while. However, she didn't know how long it would take, as she had never experienced it herself, nor had she encountered it in real life. In the romance novels she had read, the male and female leads also suffered from amnesia, and although they all eventually regained their memories and happily reunited, Ruan Mozhu simply didn't believe in such stories.

After all, this is real life, not a fantasy world. So, when Ruan Mozhu saw him like this, all she felt was despair. She couldn't feel anything else; she just felt that after he went mad, it wasn't a big deal—it was just losing a political assistant. Even without Wei Jingnan, she hoped things would work out; wasn't her goal simply to develop her own power?

Having become a powerful figure in this ancient world, Ruan Mozhu knew that she was too lonely on her own, but so what? Ruan Mozhu was not one to rely on others, and she could manage without anyone.

After seeing Xiao Hua off, Ruan Mozhu turned to look at Wei Jingnan, only to find him idly playing with his hair. Ruan Mozhu sighed; Wei Jingnan was truly beyond saving. After all, he was so foolish, so different from his former arrogant self. Not just different, but the difference was far too great. Although Ruan Mozhu didn't want to accept it, she had no choice but to. After all, there was nothing she could do about Wei Jingnan's current state. She couldn't force him to regain his memories, could she? This was something Ruan Mozhu couldn't control, so she could only accept it.

Ruan Mozhu was still somewhat unwilling, so she said, "Wei Jingnan, do you still know about the past? Like, for example..." Ruan Mozhu originally wanted to give examples, but at this moment she realized that she didn't understand Wei Jingnan at all, so she could only accept it. She didn't know Wei Jingnan's past and couldn't evoke his memories. Oh well, let it be.

Wei Jingnan opened his phoenix eyes wide and looked at Ruan Mozhu, saying, "I don't know." Wei Jingnan's eyes were full of innocence, and there was no sign that he was lying. Ruan Mozhu had still had a tiny bit of confidence, but this time she had none of it.

Ruan Mozhu could only hang her head dejectedly and say, "Forget it. With you like this, sigh, Wei Jingnan, what if you never remember anything in your life? Would I really have to support you for the rest of my life? Sigh, it feels so troublesome." She wasn't complaining about Wei Jingnan being troublesome, but rather thinking about what she would do when she started dating in the future. With Wei Jingnan, her legal husband, right here, how could she freely date?

Ruan Mozhu thought that since Wei Jingnan was already like this, she should just find another spring. But when she thought of how pitiful Wei Jingnan was, her feelings melted away. It wasn't that Ruan Mozhu didn't like Wei Jingnan, but that Wei Jingnan was an idiot, and she didn't want to waste her life on an idiot. This made her feel very confused. Could it be that she couldn't even live a normal life as a woman?

Ruan Mozhu never asked for anything. She felt that as long as a man, especially her own man, loved her, that was enough. She could do everything else herself, such as cooking and washing clothes for her man. But she just couldn't find someone who suited her. Bu Yu? No, she didn't like him.

Ruan Mozhu truly felt that she was going to end up with Wei Jingnan.

Looking at him, sometimes she found him adorable, and sometimes she found him annoying. After all, he was just a fool who couldn't give her what she wanted. Who could understand what Ruan Mozhu was thinking?

“You don’t need to support me. This manor is so rich, Mozhu. You can enjoy life with me. We can eat delicious food every day, and we can play every day without having to sweep or do chores. Mozhu, isn’t that good?” Wei Jingnan didn’t quite understand Ruan Mozhu’s expression. Perhaps in his mind, being able to play every day without having to do chores was the best thing. But that wasn’t what Ruan Mozhu wanted, so the two of them were conflicted. Ruan Mozhu especially didn’t want to be tied to Wei Jingnan for the rest of her life, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

If only Wei Jingnan weren't an idiot, Ruan Mozhu just wanted a normal husband, but in this ancient era, that was a pipe dream.

Ruan Mozhu looked at Wei Jingnan. His eyes were very bright, as if hope could be seen in them at any time, as if they could hold the whole world. Ruan Mozhu was also infatuated, but she was also on the verge of tears. This Wei Jingnan just doesn't understand. Sigh, forget it.

Ruan Mozhu also wanted to know what Wei Jingnan's world thought, but she just couldn't find out.

"Alright, Wei Jingnan, from now on, I will manage everything for you, as long as you don't interfere with me, that's fine." Ruan Mozhu was a little temperamental, after all, Wei Jingnan gave her a very bad feeling, which made her feel as if Wei Jingnan would be a burden to her in the future.
