Rong Sheng obediently followed Rong Mu out of Huimin Medical Clinic and returned home under the moonlight.
However, Rong Sheng and Rong Mu did not notice Gu Beiyi, who was bringing Rong Sheng dinner. Rong Sheng had eaten lunch very late, so Gu Beiyi did not bring it to her on time, thinking that Rong Sheng's stomach would be empty for a while. Unexpectedly, Rong Mu came and took his woman away.
This made Gu Beiyi very unhappy, so after putting the food box into Huimin Medical Hall, he went to find Su Wenxian and asked Su Wenxian to keep a close eye on Rong Mu and not let Rong Mu always disturb his good time with Rong Sheng and hinder their relationship.
Su Wenxian was truly on the verge of tears: "Your Highness, Rong Mu is extremely aptitude and there is no need to constantly hold him and teach him. Besides, my sister just had surgery and needs someone to take care of her. How can I, as her brother, not stay by her side?"
"You failed in your duties and attempted to make excuses; your crime is compounded! Go and accept your punishment!"
Su Wenxian: "..." Just because I let Rong Mu come back and interrupted your good time, you're taking your anger out on us? Getting jealous of Rong Sheng's brother, Your Highness, you've really got some nerve.
Look at you now, all sour and sullen. Where is your former dignity? You're just like a little kid.
Oh well, royalty always like to take their anger out on others; he's used to it!
"If there's a next time, go to Langya Kingdom!"
"No, no, no, there won't be a next time!" He was joking. He had just arrived in Wenhong County from Langya Kingdom, and the people of Langya Kingdom hated him to death. If he went there now, wouldn't that just give the people of Langya Kingdom an excuse to vent their anger? He wasn't that stupid.
Moreover, Langya Kingdom and Qingluan Kingdom have always been at odds, and the Emperor, for some unknown reason, has picked on Langya Kingdom. If it weren't for Gu Beiyi mediating between them, Langya Kingdom and Qingluan Kingdom might be preparing to go to war!
"I will definitely keep Rong Mu here tomorrow and let him learn business properly! If Rong Mu wants to go back, I will make him memorize the business manual that my father left me. Once he has memorized it, he can leave!" Su Wenxian said, straightening his back.
Gu Beiyi didn't care how Su Wenxian trained Rong Mu. He just wanted Rong Mu to get up to speed quickly, take over Xiaoxiang Pavilion as soon as possible, and then quickly develop other industries, striving to become the richest man in Wenhong County and the richest man in Jingjia Prefecture as soon as possible, so that he could make money for him as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, the capital..."

After returning home, Rong Mu said, "Shengbao, wait for your third brother in a moment. Your third brother will boil a pot of hot water for you to take a bath and relax!"
Rong Sheng said, "Third Brother, shall I come with you? It's too dark at home, I don't want to be alone!"
"Okay!" Rong Mu was very happy to be able to spend some time alone with Sheng Bao.
Upon arriving in the kitchen, Rong Mu washed the pot, added cold water, and then tended the fire in the stove. Once the fire was burning, Rong Sheng took a small stool and sat down beside Rong Mu, watching him add firewood. "Third Brother, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so down? Did you suffer some mistreatment at Su Wenxian's place?"
Upon hearing Rong Sheng's words, Rong Mu almost lost his composure: "Nothing of the sort, Sheng Bao, you're overthinking it!"
“Third Brother, we are siblings, and I believe I know your personality well enough, so I can tell at a glance whether you are okay or not.” Rong Sheng smiled: “In the past, no matter what you said to me, you would always look at me. But you didn’t just now, and you even turned your head away, so Third Brother, something must have happened to you.”
Rong Mu stubbornly insisted, "No!"
"Third Brother! If you don't tell me, I'm going back to Huimin Medical Clinic to treat my patients." Rong Sheng suddenly stood up, said coldly, and made as if to leave.
Rong Sheng's sudden anger startled Rong Mu for a moment, but he quickly grabbed her arm: "It's so dark, what are you doing out there, a little girl like you? Alright, alright, Third Brother knows he was wrong. Third Brother shouldn't have kept it from Sheng Bao. Be good, Sheng Bao, Third Brother will tell you, he'll tell you everything!"
Rong Sheng deliberately sat down with a cold face: "Third Brother, speak quickly!"
Rong Mu smiled helplessly, patted Rong Sheng's head, and then sighed: "Actually, Su Wenxian didn't do anything to me. On the contrary, he taught me in great detail. It's just that Third Brother was too presumptuous before. He always thought that he was very good because he knew a little bit of business skills. But he suffered a huge blow from Su Wenxian!"
"Why do you think that, Third Brother?" Rong Sheng stared intently at Rong Mu.
Rong Mu said, "Because Su Wenxian is too outstanding, he is simply a business genius. After his guidance and learning about Su Wenxian's past, Third Brother feels that he is very unambitious and doesn't know when he will be able to climb to Su Wenxian's position!"
"Su Wenxian's past?" Rong Sheng suddenly became curious: "Third Brother, stop hiding it from me and tell me what happened to Su Wenxian?"
Rong Mu sighed, “Shengbao, do you know who Su Wenxian is? He is the richest man in our Qingluan Kingdom! He is the youngest richest man in history! He is only twenty-five years old!! Although your third brother is a bit younger, Su Wenxian made a name for himself in the business world at my age, with countless businesses and countless riches! He has also become a wealthy man that high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital are eager to curry favor with! Although scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants look down on merchants, merchants can bring them countless benefits. This is why Su Wenxian can stand firm in the capital and not fall.”
"Indeed, incredibly impressive!" The richest man in the Azure Phoenix Kingdom! That's no joke.
But why doesn't Su Wenxian look like the richest man on the surface? He just looks like a nouveau riche? And he doesn't seem particularly smart either.
Indeed, you can't judge a book by its cover!
"Third Brother can't achieve what Su Wenxian has accomplished, so he's in great pain. If I had gone my own way or secretly made money in business when our parents opposed it, I would be quite well-off now. At least I could have come up with the money to buy Xiaoxiang Pavilion myself, instead of needing Shengbao to help me, and I wouldn't have been threatened by that guy Gu Sanniu! So Third Brother is very upset..."
Rong Sheng smiled and said, "Third brother, are you getting stuck on this? You need to know that everyone has their own path. You only see that Su Wenxian became the richest man in the country and started his business at a young age, but you don't know how much Su Wenxian sacrificed for the title of the richest man in the country, or how many times he was belittled and trampled on."
You just mentioned the social hierarchy of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, with merchants holding the lowest social status. However, because they are wealthy, they are still respected! But do you know how many people are talking behind Su Wenxian's back? Wanting to ruin him? His journey to this point hasn't been easy! Now you have the opportunity to learn business from the richest man in Qingluan Kingdom. You should seize this opportunity and let Su Wenxian see your abilities so he'll be willing to teach you wholeheartedly!
So at this time, you shouldn't be sad, but rather cheer up and work hard! Although we're currently hampered by a lack of money, Third Brother, as long as we try our best, I believe we'll be rewarded. Then Father and Mother will agree to your business ventures, and you'll become the youngest richest person in Qingluan Kingdom!
