That means we're still short 2,500 taels of silver, which is no small sum. The best solution right now is to sell the spiritual items produced in the space.

The apples, cherries, peaches, lychees, durians, mangoes, finger limes, and other fruits planted in the space are already ripe and hanging on the branches. If these good things were taken out, they could definitely be sold for a lot of money.

To avoid attracting those with ulterior motives like the Crown Prince, as happened in the previous life, it cannot be brought out now.

At the very least, it cannot be openly sold off in the capital.

She really wanted to buy the shop, not only because it was cheap, but also because she wanted to use it to open a beauty salon and earn more money to support her father and brothers who were fighting for the country on the frontier.

And then there's my third brother, who, apart from sending someone back with silver regularly, has been gone for a year and hasn't returned home yet.

Such a talented and brilliant young man, for the sake of the Xue family and the soldiers on the frontier, was willing to lower his status and abandon his literary pursuits to become a businessman.

From then on, they endured hardships and slept in the open, all in order to earn meager profits to support the army's needs.

Now that she has returned to the manor, she no longer wants her third brother to continue working so hard, and she is even less willing for him to give up his beloved career path for the sake of the family.

Xue Ruanruan's face was almost contorted with worry. Murong Xun looked at her with great interest, wondering what this clever girl was thinking this time.

“Miss Physician, didn’t my master just give you a silver note a few days ago?”

Yan Xiao could clearly sense that Xue Ruanruan really wanted to buy the shop, but she didn't know what she was hesitating about, so she couldn't help but remind her that she could take out the silver notes given by her master to pay for it.

"Murong Xun?"

Xue Ruanruan looked at the man standing next to her and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Oh right, how could we forget about this God of Wealth? We wouldn't feel comfortable selling those spiritual items in the space to others, but selling them to Murong Xun would be absolutely no problem.

Yan Xiao was so frightened that her eyes widened into the size of copper bells. How could this girl be so bold? Who in the court would dare to call their master by his real name?

Even the emperor had to address him respectfully as "brother," and only the empress dowager had this honor, being able to address her master by his full name.

"Ahem, little sister."

When Lady Dong heard her younger sister address the Regent by his real name, she was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth.

In the entire Chu-Qin Kingdom, apart from the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, there was no one else who dared to address the Regent by his real name.

My little sister must have eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard to dare to call the Regent by his name in front of him. It really terrified her.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Please forgive me for my slip of the tongue."

Murong Xun glanced at Xue Ruanruan coldly, but said nothing.

Seeing that the Regent did not pursue the matter against his younger sister/the divine healer, Madam Dong and Yan Xiao both breathed a sigh of relief; they were truly lucky to be alive.

The old man looked at the scene before him, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. To call the Regent by his name was a grave taboo, especially in his presence.

Based on his many years of business experience, the Regent Prince had a special feeling for this ordinary-looking woman.

He was determined to cultivate a good relationship with this girl, so that he could have someone to rely on if he encountered any difficult problems in the future.

"Old man, I've bought your shop. I only brought five hundred taels of silver with me today because I was out on business. I'll pay you the rest as a deposit first. Give me two days and I'll personally present the rest to you."

"You're too kind, young lady. How could I not trust you? No need for the deposit. Just bring the money to exchange for the house deed within two days."

The old man went along with it and made a good impression.

"The deposit will definitely be paid. It's settled then. I will definitely come to your door with the money within two days to exchange the house deed."

The injured person can be taken home and given proper care. Be careful not to get them wet, and avoid moving them unnecessarily, otherwise their leg may heal crookedly, resulting in a limp.

With her wish fulfilled, Xue Ruanruan felt much better.

Once the matter was resolved, Murong Xun beckoned for the guards in the manor to escort the father and son away.

Xue Ruanruan asked Dong Shi to personally retrieve the silver from the carriage, give it directly to the old man as a deposit, and watch him sign the receipt before bringing it back.

Only Xue Ruanruan, Murong Xun, and Yan Xiao remained in the large room, and an eerie silence fell over the atmosphere.

Seeing that something was wrong, Yan Xiao immediately followed him out.

Xue Ruanruan turned to look at Murong Xun, pondering how to bring up the topic of this business deal.

If she could win over Murong Xun, she would have a legitimate excuse to take out all the spiritual creatures produced in her space.

This is a real big spender, we absolutely can't afford to offend him.

Her eyes were clear and bright, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky, with a bewitching charm.

Murong Xun's dark eyes reflected her beautiful figure, and his throat tightened. He didn't know why he had such a strange feeling.

The tingling sensation made him quite uncomfortable.

"Something happened."

"Hehe, I do have something to discuss with the Regent."

"But it doesn't matter."

"This humble woman wishes to discuss a business matter with Your Highness."

Xue Ruanruan wasn't pretentious; as long as she could make money, she didn't care about saving face.

"Business? Ha, when did I ever stoop to doing business?"

A cold smile appeared on Murong Xun's lips, his eyes filled with disdain.

How could a prince like him have fallen so low as to need to do business?

A surge of anger welled up within him. He knew perfectly well that the other party's intentions were nothing more than to use him as a backer and seek personal gain by leveraging his power and status.

However, he will not be easily manipulated, much less become a pawn in someone else's game.

Murong Xun possessed his own pride and dignity, and he felt nothing but contempt for those who attempted to exploit him.

Even though she had saved his life.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. Listen to me first before making a decision. Besides, I am only using your name and will not damage your dignity or reputation."

Xue Ruanruan knew that this proud man was angry, so she quickly tried to soothe him gently.

In her second life, Murong Xun was the only person she could trust. She knew that he was just cold on the outside, but not as terrifying as the rumors suggested.

"Then tell us what happened first."

Murong Xun ultimately remained patient, waiting to see how the other party would try to persuade him.

"Your Highness, is it possible to earn money by selling fresh fruits and vegetables in winter?"

"what?!"

Murong Xun's pupils suddenly contracted, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, you heard me right. What I want to do with you is the business of vegetables, fruits, grains, and medicinal herbs. I will be responsible for supplying the goods, and you will be responsible for sales. We will split the profits 50/50, how about that?"

Xue Ruanruan gazed quietly at Murong Xun with her watery eyes, patiently awaiting his reply.

"Where do fresh vegetables and fruits come from? Grains and medicinal herbs can come from, but these are necessities for ordinary people. Using them for profit is not good for the country or the people."

He has no problem with fresh fruits and vegetables, but grains and medicinal herbs are the foundation of people's survival, and using them for profit is a very bad idea.
