The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

The next day, Su'er came early in the morning to report that the land deal had been finalized for several thousand taels of silver. Su'er described in great detail how powerful the family was. Ruan Mozhu was all smiles from the start of the morning.

After getting up, Wei Jingnan practiced swordsmanship in the courtyard as Ruan Mozhu had requested. Looking at Wei Jingnan's agile figure, Ruan Mozhu thought that Wei Jingnan was very good-looking, his face was even more handsome, and his family background seemed to be among the best. What could be wrong with Wei Jingnan?

There's nothing I can do, I'm just not very bright.

When Wei Jingnan saw that Ruan Mo had gotten up, he put away his sword and rushed over. He was sweating. Ruan Mozhu saw his mischievous appearance and took out a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe his sweat.

Ruan Mozhu looked closely at his exquisitely handsome face, which was so beautiful it was almost infuriating, and felt utterly speechless.

She gently wiped away his sweat, and as she lay down on him, Wei Jingnan looked closely at Ruan Mozhu's features. The two gazed at each other so affectionately that it felt like a long time had passed. Ruan Mozhu suddenly remembered Wei Jingnan's past life at the Gates of Hell, and couldn't help but chuckle. No wonder he was born so exquisite and noble; it was the blessing of his past life.

Su'er looked at the two of them and felt that they were very affectionate. It was Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua was teaching Wei Jingnan to practice swordsmanship. Although Xiao Hua was a secret guard, Ruan Mozhu allowed him to appear openly in the Prince's mansion and teach the Prince martial arts. This was undoubtedly good news for Xiao Hua. He didn't have to be so sneaky and serious as before.

He could now appear openly in the sunlight, no longer feeling ashamed. He looked at the master and princess with joy, feeling their deep affection.

"Fool, go practice your sword." Ruan Mozhu simply ate breakfast in the courtyard and watched Wei Jingnan practice his sword. Because Ruan Mozhu was there, Wei Jingnan practiced his sword very seriously, hoping to do every movement better so that Ruan Mozhu would praise him, commend him, and look at him with new eyes.

Seeing Wei Jingnan's sullen expression, Ruan Mozhu was exasperated. So when Su'er brought out the breakfast, Ruan Mozhu ate while watching Wei Jingnan.

Today, Ruan Mozhu's breakfast was congee with preserved egg and lean pork. This was a recipe that Ruan Mozhu taught the kitchen. This breakfast is very nutritious and also very delicious, so Ruan Mozhu eats it every few days.

Although Wei Jingnan saw the breakfast, he was completely unmoved. His eyes were only on Ruan Mozhu because he wanted to show her a good side. Perhaps it's because people like to put on a good show in front of someone they like.

The trees in the yard were slowly shedding their leaves. The two of them were so in sync, they looked really loving. After this leaf fall, they would probably be active soon. Ruan Mozhu felt cold, and Su'er brought her a coat. Ruan Mozhu pulled the coat tighter on her body. The fur collar made her face look particularly delicate and cute. She looked at Wei Jingnan and Lian Jian, and slowly fell asleep.

Winter is almost here, and I'm afraid that bloodshed and violence will soon follow.

The beautiful scene seems destined to last forever, drawing people in completely.

A month later, winter finally arrived. The fire in the brazier crackled and popped. Outside, it felt like a snowy day that could freeze a person to death, but inside it was warm and cozy, making people want to stay. It also carried a subtle fragrance. Inside, the beaded curtains jingled and tinkled at the slightest movement, giving people a feeling of a woman waiting to be married, with a radiant and understated beauty.

"Oh dear, Your Highness, I'm freezing!" Su'er rushed in, rubbing her hands and stamping her feet. She lifted the beaded curtain, which made a tinkling sound. Ruan Mozhu saw Su'er's face, which was red from the cold, and she looked very cute. Su'er kept rubbing her hands and rushed to Ruan Mozhu's side to warm herself by the fire.

"Su'er." Ruan Mozhu asked Xue'er to pour Su'er a cup of hot tea. Su'er thanked her and then held the hot tea to warm her hands, planning to drink it when it was a little warmer.

Xue'er stood beside Ruan Mozhu, expressionless, like a female Buddha, while Ruan Mozhu rested her head on her hand on the soft tea table, looking like a noble lady asleep, appearing very elegant.

Her eyes were deep and her eyelashes were long, always trembling from time to time, making her look very noble, as if she was about to spread her wings and soar into the sky, becoming the only one in the world.

She suddenly opened her eyes slowly, and suddenly they shone brightly, making one feel that she was the most beautiful object in the room.

Her eyes swept around emotionlessly, she withdrew her hand from her head and warmed it back in the pillow, glanced at Su'er, and then spoke to Xue'er instead of looking at Xue'er.

"Xue'er, how is Zhuqing Pavilion doing lately?" Ruan Mozhu had to ask from time to time to put her mind at ease.

She inspected the Bamboo Green Pavilion and set up a finance hall, a personnel hall, a logistics hall, a sales hall, and separate halls for the four brothers and sisters. Ruan Mozhu also set up a Poison Jasmine Hall and a Bamboo Green Hall, specifically for holding meetings and ceremonies. Ruan Mozhu had the logistics hall set up the Bamboo Green Hall, which looked very prosperous and luxurious.

Because Zhuqing Palace is just starting out, Ruan Mozhu will allocate 500,000 taels of silver to Zhuqing Palace every month for its renovations. As for the shops that were converted from houses, Ruan Mozhu has already selected several people with business plans from Zhuqing Palace's sales hall to move into the shops and start doing business.

Recently, Ruan Mozhu's business has been getting better and better, and she has more and more money. The business street has also been built, with about a dozen shops. Ruan Mozhu has also brought in many people from Zhuqing Palace so that they can all do business and make money.

Ruan Mozhu doesn't just give them shop space whenever they want to do business. She requires them to provide a detailed plan before allocating funds to them. They are then required to repay Zhuqing Pavilion with interest within a specified time, pay rent to Zhuqing Pavilion every month, and have Zhuqing Pavilion take a 20% cut of their profits. That's about it.

They also need to gradually build an intelligence network for Zhuqing Pavilion, for its own use.

Despite the stringent conditions, many people still want to switch to the distributorship, since everyone before them has succeeded.

"The Bamboo Green Pavilion has been doing very well lately. Some people have already started taking on business. Those who are taking on business have all passed Lord Xiao Hua's test, and quite a few are still undergoing training. Lord Xiao Hua's training is really strict, but everyone has managed to get through it. Recently, Lord Xiao Hua came up with another idea, requiring everyone to stand naked on the mountaintop and blow air for fifteen minutes. That's truly torture. I heard that some people have made it through, while others have given up. Sigh." Xue'er was also lamenting Xiao Hua's strictness.

Ruan Mozhu chuckled upon hearing this. Xiao Hua was becoming more and more interesting, coming up with so many tricks that it was almost impossible to keep up.

Looking at Ruan Mozhu, Su'er felt as if she held the world in her palm. She found her extremely beautiful and captivating, making Su'er feel that as long as she remained loyal to Ruan Mozhu, Ruan Mozhu would be able to give her a piece of sky, a warm sky.

Ruan Mozhu kept her eyes gently closed, thinking about the development of Zhuqing Pavilion over the years. Now that she had a lot of money, she wondered if she could buy many things and get many things that she couldn't get before.

The matter of the Crown Prince finally came to an end, but the Marquis's son was still gone, and the Prince Wang was not arrested because of the Crown Prince's protection. However, the Marquis was won over by Ruan Mozhu and became one of her people. Ruan Mozhu told him that she was going to do something big and needed help, and that she would definitely repay him in the future. And so he got help.

The Marquis gave her some military power, which Ruan Mozhu could use as she pleased. The military power was for a force that the Marquis had trained himself, so it didn't require the Emperor's approval.

Ruan Mozhu told the Marquis that she would make that young master Wang pay the price and would never let him live. She asked him to give her some time and that she would make sure he was gone before the end of the year. In this way, Ruan Mozhu easily won over the Marquis.

The skincare store is thriving, the modern restaurant is booming, and the clothing store is doing the same. Ruan Mozhu is still sketching even more designs; she's drawn many beautiful winter clothing patterns.

Ruan Mozhu painted a dress with a snow-white collar and cuffs, which looked very elegant and beautiful. This style would sell very well in ancient times, and Ruan Mozhu was very happy. Ruan Mozhu was making a fortune every day.

The dyeing shop is doing well, and many merchants are coming to source their goods. Ruan Mozhu has also expanded the staff dormitory and added more equipment, which has greatly increased production. Ruan Mozhu is preparing to open a branch for the clothing store.

Because it was located on East Street, most people on South Street and North Street couldn't see it. It would be better if Ruan Mozhu opened more branches, making even more money and bringing in a lot of cash.

The Hope Primary School is getting better every day, with more and more children. Ruan Mozhu had a second floor built so that it can accommodate more children, which makes Ruan Mozhu very happy.

However, this could not possibly save all the children in the capital, because these are just children, and the children in this school only account for one-tenth or one-hundredth of the entire capital.

Ruan Mozhu wanted to open a branch of this Hope Primary School so that more children could benefit. Ruan Mozhu was very happy about this, because it was all for the good of the country. Developing more talents was also a good thing for the country.

Wei Jingnan entered, his tall frame seemingly able to weigh down on Ruan Mozhu. After entering, he simply put down the armrest he was holding and said, "Mozhu, it's time to eat." His words only made Ruan Mozhu raise her head slightly.

Ruan Mozhu looked at Wei Jingnan now. Because of the cold, his face was red, making him look particularly cute. His long, narrow eyes looked especially alluring, as if you could draw them in. He was very charming.

"Understood." Ruan Mozhu's cold, indifferent voice made everyone lose their appetite for the lesson; it just felt like Ruan Mozhu had undergone a complete transformation.

Ruan Mozhu was no longer the reckless and careless person she used to be. Instead, she had transformed into a sophisticated and ruthless woman, making people feel that she was suited for palace intrigue and the like. The innate arrogance in Ruan Mozhu's bones had completely emerged, making people feel that Ruan Mozhu had finally shone brightly.
