"Oh."

The little one blinked his big clear eyes, and an expression of confusion appeared on his young face.

The word magic was not unfamiliar to him, but the mystery of today was different from any magic he had seen before.

The seeds of doubt began to sprout in his little head, but his mother's words were the indisputable truth to him, so he chose to trust her.

"This is our little secret, only you and I know it, don't tell anyone else."

There was a hint of mischief in Ran He's words, as if it was a sweet burden shared between the two.

Upon hearing this, the little one stretched out his chubby little finger, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Ran He was amused by the innocent look, she also stretched out her little finger, and their fingertips lightly hooked together, silently making a small contract.

Then she suggested, "How about you help Mommy dig for treasure?"

The little one nodded vigorously, as if he had received the most important task in the world. He quickly picked up the small shovel beside him, stuck out his chubby little butt, and seriously threw himself into this "great project."

After digging for a while, the soil piled up into a small hill and dusk fell quietly.

Ran He brought the little one back to the resting place, only to see the grill that had been set up long ago waiting for the arrival of the ingredients.

Wu Xu and Uncle Zhou did not disappoint everyone. They brought back a fat pheasant and two wild rabbits, enough for everyone to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

This hunting trip was not only fruitful, but also gave Zhou Li's father a new understanding of Wu Xu. As a result, their relationship became much closer and less unfamiliar than before.

In the afternoon, the group returned to Zhou's house. Faced with the enthusiastic invitation to stay for dinner, they politely declined and then drove away slowly.

Zhou Li and his family stood at the gate of the yard, watching the car gradually disappear at the end of their sight, their hearts filled with reluctance.

Soon, curiosity and discussion among the neighbors followed, and someone jokingly said, "Oh, your Zhou Li is really amazing. He has made rich friends. They must have given him a lot of precious things, right?"

Mother Zhou listened to the whispers around her, a faint smile flashed across her lips, she snorted softly, and shut up everyone with the words "There's nothing to see", then she took Zhou Li and his son, turned around and walked into the house.

As soon as he entered the door, the housekeeper came up to him with a happy face, and his words revealed an excitement that was difficult to conceal: "Master, Madam, you two are finally back. It's really a cause for celebration."

"Did anything good happen?"

Wu Xu asked casually.

The housekeeper's smile became brighter, and he replied, "You can't hide anything from me. The Qian Family Manor incident has finally come to an end. The workshop has been sealed by the government, and the family property has been confiscated. The entire Qian family has been sentenced to exile, and Qian Yingjun and Mr. Qian are facing execution. Those who once suffered can finally vent their anger."

Ran He had anticipated that once the Qian family lost power, those who had been bullied by them in the past would inevitably rise up and attack them.

However, she never imagined that so many people would preserve detailed evidence and endure silently until now.

The Qian family’s current fate is their own fault.

"How's the situation at the workshop? And how's the progress at the weaving workshop?"

Due to his recent illness, he was unable to pay attention to the situation in time. Now that he felt a little better, Ran He finally couldn't help but ask.

Wu Xu waved his hand, signaling the butler to leave first.

He gently helped Ran He sit back on the soft couch, his eyes full of concern: "You are still young, don't worry too much. I will take care of these things in the future."

Ran He smiled like a flower and responded meekly: "Okay, everything is up to you."

Wu Xu could sense that his wife was particularly concerned about making money, so he couldn't help but tease her, "My dear, our family is not short of money."

“How can there be no shortage?”

Ran He's expression showed a bit of shrewdness in family life. "Although you have enough money now, you will need money in many places in the future. Just thinking about the children growing up, each of them will need a decent family business, this is not a small amount of money."

She counted on her fingers and calculated carefully, "The existing industries are not enough. I have a plan. When the weaving workshop is on track, I also want to get involved in soap manufacturing and winter cotton clothing business."

Wu Xu did not respond immediately, but quietly left the room, leaving Ran He with a puzzled back.

She looked at the departing figure, feeling somewhat confused. Did she offend the prince?

However, not long after, Wu Xu reappeared holding an exquisite wooden box and handed the box to her: "Open it and take a look."

Ran He first looked at him puzzledly, then turned his gaze to the wooden box in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and slowly opened the lid.

What comes into view is a thick stack of property deeds and account books of various industries.

The property deed was not surprising to her. After all, as a prince, it was natural for her husband to have huge wealth.

What really shocked her was the list of industries.

Among them, the two major mineral resources are iron ore and salt mine, but what is even more eye-catching is the extremely profitable water transport industry.

These are the most lucrative businesses today. The huge annual income is enough to make a family as rich as a country. Without having to work hard, they can live a more comfortable life than an emperor.

Ran He suddenly realized that he was still working hard to become the richest man, but he didn't know that he had already been in the position of the invisible richest man.

A feeling of both relief and slight embarrassment arose spontaneously. Fortunately, those little thoughts had not been revealed to him, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed.

She glanced at the account book below that she had not yet read, and suddenly lost interest in exploring. When she raised her eyes, her dark pupils stared at Wu Xu steadily, "You are such a big liar."

Wu Xu did not make any excuses but directly admitted his fault, his tone full of sincerity and self-blame: "It's my fault."

"What do you mean by asking you to support me?"

Ran He spoke confidently, but intentionally or unintentionally ignored the context in which he first said this.

"Yes, I deceived Madam. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Wu Xu apologized sincerely, but his eyes were filled with affection and doting that could not be concealed.

Faced with such a man, Ran He couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the atmosphere became relaxed.

"But we must be prepared for danger in times of peace, and the right thing to do is to continue working hard to make money."

"Yes, yes, I'll do as you say."

Wu Xu nodded repeatedly, his eyes firm, "I will take care of these things, Madam, you just stay at home and take good care of your pregnancy."

This pregnancy was not easy and was particularly distressing, so Wu Xu was extremely cautious and did not want her to suffer any hardship.

"What about the soap and cotton clothes plan?"

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Wu Xu is full of confidence.

Just when Ran He wanted to express that she also wanted to contribute, she suddenly felt a sour feeling in her abdomen, followed by a severe morning sickness, which made her face turn as pale as paper in an instant.

Wu Xu hugged her lovingly, his eyes full of pity: "Let's not have any more children, okay?"

Seeing how hard she worked, Wu Xu felt reluctant to let her go. How could he let his beloved suffer this pain again?

"Don't you always dream of having a little princess by your side? But what if this time it's a chubby little prince?"

There was a smile on his lips, but his eyes were filled with unquestionable determination.

"Even though I love my daughter so much, I will never let this expectation become a burden to you. Madam, your health is always the first thing in my heart."

Wu Xu's words were full of sincerity. He held her hand tightly, and the strength seemed to convey endless warmth and promises. Ran He knew clearly that these words were not sweet talk. A warm feeling spread from the bottom of her heart, warming every inch of her skin.
