Wei Jingnan looked at her with amusement. She actually felt guilty? He had previously devised strategies that led to the deaths of so many enemy soldiers, and he had survived just the same. In truth, in this ancient world, it was either you die or I live; you could only choose one. Please search for the most complete and fastest updates on Pinshu.com.

What's the use of feeling guilty? You only live once, and your destiny is in your own hands.

Ruan Mozhu seemed to have come to a realization, so she went out with Wei Jingnan. Ruan Mozhu wasn't hungry, so she went to Bu Yu's house. Of course, she brought Wei Jingnan with her. Wei Jingnan couldn't bear to be apart from her. As soon as she went out, he wanted to follow. When Ruan Mozhu said she was going to Bu's residence, he insisted on following even more. Ruan Mozhu had no choice but to let him come along.

Wei Jingnan followed Ruan Mozhu quietly, glancing at her from time to time. Inside the carriage, neither of them spoke, creating a very strange atmosphere.

Finally, Wei Jingnan couldn't hold back any longer and said to Ruan Mozhu, "Mozhu, what are you doing at the Bu residence? I heard from the servants that Bu Yu's injuries are almost healed. Why are you still going to see him?" Wei Jingnan seemed a little angry. After all, any man would be angry if his wife went to see another man.

Ruan Mozhu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Without him, there would be no me. He saved me. What do you want me to say? Saving a life is a debt of gratitude. Besides, I just went to see him. I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you so angry?" Ruan Mozhu wanted to argue with Wei Jingnan, but Wei Jingnan also looked sullen.

"I just don't like you going to see him." Wei Jingnan's coquettish expression left Ruan Mozhu speechless. After all, he was such a grown man, yet he was acting like a child to her. She thought she was just a little woman, yet she was putting up with a grown man acting like a child to her. Ruan Mozhu just felt like she couldn't take it anymore.

So Wei Jingnan's appearance left Ruan Mozhu speechless. Ruan Mozhu turned his face to her and said, "Wei Jingnan, what are you worried about? Anyway, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I, Ruan Mozhu, will never leave you in this lifetime."

Ruan Mozhu made such a simple and easy vow, which made Wei Jingnan look at her with disapproval. In the end, he still didn't believe her. After all, Wei Jingnan wasn't stupid. Looking at Ruan Mozhu, he knew that she was just trying to appease him. He was even more depressed now. He shook off Ruan Mozhu's hand and lay down to the side.

Seeing his expression, Ruan Mozhu decided to let it go and let him be.

Finally, the carriage stopped, and they arrived at the Bu residence. Ruan Mozhu got off the carriage. Wei Jingnan was about to reach out to catch her, but Ruan Mozhu didn't even want to look at him. So she jumped off the carriage herself. The servants of the Bu residence rushed to greet her.

"It is an honor that the Prince and Princess Qi have graced the Bu residence with their presence. Please come in, Your Highness and Princess." The steward welcomed Ruan Mozhu and Wei Jingnan inside. Ruan Mozhu was astonished by the luxurious decorations of the Bu residence.

Inside the courtyard, Bu Yu was practicing his swordplay. He was thinking about how Ruan Mozhu had made him a wheelchair, but he no longer needed it and had recovered so quickly, so the wheelchair was now useless.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Bu Yu sheathed his sword and stepped forward, saying, "Prince Qi and Princess Qi, please come in." The lack of further words suggested they were indeed quite familiar with each other.

Ruan Mozhu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Bu Yu, your injury has healed a lot. We came to see you, and we didn't come empty-handed. Bu Yu, look, this is a piece of land I found. If we build houses on it, we can make a lot of money." As soon as Ruan Mozhu entered the living room, she spread out the blueprints in her hand. Bu Yu followed her to look and found that it was really good. This place was a small courtyard house, which should have been replaced by a new house long ago. In fact, he had thought about it, but this family was not moving.

Bu Yu was also very surprised, as she was indeed discerning, but she was also very troubled, saying, "Although this piece of land is good, the owner of this courtyard is not moving, and without the land deed, it is impossible to rebuild a new house."

“I’ve already had someone negotiate with them. I tripled the price, and they agreed. So, I think we can start construction soon, and this old courtyard will be gone, and this street will be more prosperous.” Ruan Mozhu thought that if something can be done with money, there’s no need to use people. Ruan Mozhu did just that. At first, the family was unwilling, but later she accidentally heard that the family had several sons who were getting married.

So Ruan Mozhu raised the price three times, and the family agreed, after all, it was such a lot of money.

Ruan Mozhu truly believed that money was a wonderful thing, capable of commanding people and even willing to hand over an old house. Therefore, Ruan Mozhu was determined to work even harder to earn money. Ruan Mozhu thought that since this world didn't have buildings like those in modern times, why not turn them into shops like in modern times, with uniform sizes to facilitate doing business and receive rent every year?

Ruan Mozhu's idea was good, but Bu Yu was even more surprised. After all, he hadn't tried this method much because the family said they would never sell it, so he gave up on the idea. But he didn't expect Ruan Mozhu to actually buy it. He was indeed still inexperienced in the ways of the world.

Ruan Mozhu continued, "Look, this place has a bustling street. Why don't we turn it into individual shops to facilitate business, collect rent every year, and also make this street more prosperous? Wouldn't that be great?" Ruan Mozhu was actually thinking that East Street wasn't very lively because it was mostly in the homes of wealthy people. Because they were wealthy, not many people dared to come and live there and disturb others.

Ruan Mozhu insisted on setting up a store here to do business. In fact, wealthy people also have their troubles, which is that they are too far away from the stores selling daily necessities. So they usually have to walk several streets to the south to buy things.

Ruan Mozhu saw the potential in this market and thought, "Why not set up a shop here? We could sell women's products, fruit, snacks, and even clothing. Wouldn't that be great?"

Ruan Mozhu thought that making the streets on the east side prosperous would be a good thing for the country and the people. She also thought that it could help more people get rich, not just herself.

Therefore, Ruan Mozhu wanted to establish a store street so that she could lead more people to do business and make everyone rich. Ruan Mozhu thought that when everyone was rich, there would be fewer beggars and poor people.

Bu Yu seemed to agree with Ruan Mozhu's idea and even seemed to support it. So the two hit it off and allocated funds to have a place built. The courtyard was particularly large and quite long. If Ruan Mozhu wanted to build shops, she would build five or six. It would be quite nice no matter what.

Wei Jingnan watched from the side, seemingly very angry that they had ignored him. Out of boredom, he suddenly started to cause trouble. He pretended to fall on the table, and the tea immediately soaked the drawings and spilled on Ruan Mozhu as well.

Ruan Mozhu said angrily, "Wei Jingnan, that's enough, go out and play." Ruan Mozhu felt that Wei Jingnan was deliberately causing trouble, after all, he was fine just now.

To everyone's surprise, Wei Jingnan actually slumped over the table and said, "You guys are talking about such profound things." Wei Jingnan wasn't really interested in listening, after all, he didn't want to hear any of this. Money was something he could earn with a flick of his finger; he didn't need them to go through all that trouble to calculate how to make money.

Ruan Mozhu looked at Wei Jingnan, speechless, and then took him away, knowing that if she didn't leave, he probably wouldn't let it go.

After Ruan Mozhu took Wei Jingnan away, the two went to the market. Ruan Mozhu was also quite exasperated by Wei Jingnan.

"Wei Jingnan, why do you always bother me when I'm doing business? Do you know that Bu Yu is a businessman? By cooperating with him, I can make a lot of money. And what are you doing? All you do is play around. You can't help me at all, so please stop causing trouble." Ruan Mozhu felt that Wei Jingnan was a bit selfish.

Wei Jingnan glanced at Ruan Mozhu, but didn't say anything. He just walked forward leisurely by himself. Ruan Mozhu was speechless and could only follow with her head down.

At this moment, Xue'er followed up from behind and whispered in Ruan Mozhu's ear.

"The construction of Zhuqing Pavilion will be completed in about a week. Now we need to formulate the rules and hierarchy." Xue'er meant that Ruan Mozhu should make the decision to formulate these rules. She has been very busy lately, with the clothing store, the dyeing room, Zhuqing Pavilion, Danya Residence, and Young Master Wang's place. Ruan Mozhu wished she could grow more hands to handle all these things.

"Oh, I see. By the way, go and observe the Hope Primary School and the dyeing workshop. See if there's anything missing or anything that's not right. Tell me any ideas you have. Let's make it better and better." Ruan Mozhu's idea was excellent. Let Xue'er give her opinions, so she wouldn't have to put in so much effort and worry.

"Yes, Miss, I'm off." Xue'er gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Ruan Mozhu thought that it was indeed time to formulate gang rules.

So Ruan Mozhu quickly returned to her residence to formulate the gang rules and prepare everything. Ruan Mozhu thought about it carefully.

The rules of the gang are nothing more than revolving around the four words: morality and wealth. After Ruan Mozhu made them, she thought that she would have to go to the Bamboo Green Pavilion to take a look.

After a week of completion, Ruan Mozhu decided to go there a week later. After that, she could set up secret passages and so on. In short, Zhuqing Pavilion would be her base, and Ruan Mozhu would manage it carefully.

Wei Jingnan was still playing outside. Less than half an hour later, Ruan Mozhu received news that Wei Jingnan had caused trouble again. Helpless, Ruan Mozhu had to clean up the mess once more.

Ruan Mozhu finally saw through Wei Jingnan. He wanted others to know about his foolishness so they wouldn't know what he was up to in secret.

Ruan Mozhu felt completely exhausted. In the afternoon, she was finally able to lie down on the chaise lounge and rest properly. However, Su'er suddenly came and said, "There's a problem at the skincare store. Someone developed many red spots on their face after using the mask, as if there's something wrong with our mask."

Ruan Mozhu was speechless. How could such a thing happen? She remembered that she had instructed everyone to grind each pearl carefully, and that the pearls were all purchased from residents along the coast. There couldn't have been any mistakes. What was going on?

Ruan Mozhu immediately went to the skin care store. The woman was still causing trouble there. Ruan Mozhu pushed through the crowd and saw that the woman's face was indeed badly injured, with a large red patch. It looked like she was going to be disfigured.
