"Please, Your Majesty, take a look at this."

Saying that, Nangong Shouzhong took out a golden scroll from his bosom and respectfully handed it to Wenwang with both hands.

Wen Wang glanced at Nangong Shouzhong, then bowed his head and opened the document in his hand.

The document is not long and a quick glance at the numbers will suffice.

Moments later, the documents were closed. Wen Wang remained composed.

He looked up at Nan Gong Shou Zhong and smiled lightly, "The Crown Prince invited you to the capital, this is a good thing. What do you want to tell me"

Palace Master Nan Gong Shou Zhong wryly smiled, “I'm afraid there won't be any good feasts. Since invitations have come from the capital city, this lowly one naturally needs to report to His Highness first.”

"Besides, our esteemed Prince is known for his ruthlessness. I have no dealings with him. This sudden invitation out of the blue is quite alarming. If the Duke doesn't agree, I wouldn't dare to set foot in the capital."

"Just go."

Wen Wang said faintly.

"Since they've sent the post to you, it means the visitor is probably already waiting at your place. If you don't go, wouldn't that make you look bad"

"Our Prince Charming is not easily fooled."

Returning the documents to Nangong Shouchong, Wen Wang said: “Since he asked for you instead of anyone else, it means there's something he needs from you. Think about your identity, what sets you apart from everyone else”

Nangong Shuzhong shook his head and said, "What difference can I have from others I'm just the so-called 'First Richest Man in Jiangnan'..."

Before he could finish his words, Nangong Shouzhong was startled. He looked up in astonishment and said, “Could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince came here for my wealth”

Wen Wang's expression remained calm and collected. He said coldly, "When people are hungry, they naturally seek out cooks. When thirsty, they seek water sellers. When bored, they go to pleasure quarters for music, performances, and plays. Finding their way to the head of the richest man in Jiangnan, naturally they want money. Otherwise, would they come looking for you to amuse them"

Wen Wang's words made Nangong Shouzhong nervous. He hurriedly said, "I have always had no dealings with the court, and I am even less acquainted with the Crown Prince. The reason he came to me must be malicious."

"Maybe I should just turn him down. Can he really force me back to the capital"

"Not appropriate."

Wen Wang shook his head and immediately rejected Nangong Shouzhong's idea.

"Since this document has reached your hands, it represents the prince's invitation. If you refuse, you will be rejecting his face. Rejecting his face would give him an excuse to deal with you. You cannot do such a thing that puts a weapon in someone else's hand."

"Go on then," Wen Wang said, squinting his eyes. "With me here, he won't do anything to you. Let's see what he truly wants."

Although Nangong Shuzhong felt uneasy, Wen Wang had made his point clear. He couldn't go on insisting any longer and could only grit his teeth and nod in agreement.

"Don't worry."

King Wen patted Nangong Shouzhong on the shoulder and comforted him gently: “Although this king cannot go with you, I will arrange for several experts to protect you.”

"As a prince, even if he wants to harm you, he'll have to find a reasonable excuse. If it's not convincing, this king will naturally find a way to make him afraid to touch you."

So, if he finds a reasonable excuse, I'm doomed, aren't I

Thinking this way, Nangong Shouchong felt even heavier in his heart.

But there was no trace of this on his face. He asked in a measured tone, "Your Highness, since he came to me asking for money, I certainly can't give it to him. What should I do when we reach the capital"

"Give, of course give."'s intentions, leading her to make a fool of herself in front of him.Just at that moment, the King Ning, who had regained his composure from his anger, kicked Cai He with a leg and roared: "You fool!...
