Fox Demon: Why did your brother beat you up every day at the beginning of the month?

"A reward? That's a good idea. I just swindled a little... cough cough. Cuiyu Ling was thinking of preparing a gift for you. She'll send it to Rongrong in a few days."

Tu Shan Ya Ya jumped down gracefully, ignoring Rong Rong and Hao Yang's words. Instead, she transformed into human form and looked at Dongfang Yuechu, who was busy revising documents. She slowly pulled out a large wolf-tooth club from behind her back.

"Oh, really? But Rongrong still wants something special~"

"Why?!"

Dongfang Haoyang smiled helplessly and poked Rongrong's forehead. This little fox demon really dared to speak in front of so many people.

"We'll talk about that when we get back, but what's my little brother doing here..." Dongfang Haoyang pointed to Dongfang Yuechu, who was writing furiously on the table.

"Hehe, brother, I'm helping Fairy Sister with some official business!"

Dongfang Haoyang watched as Xiaoyuechu waved happily at him, looking so willing to be a slave, and to be honest, his hands were itching! He just felt an unbearable urge on the dragon-patterned leather belt around his waist.

But then he heard a cry of pain! A large, smoking red bump appeared on Dongfang Yuechu's head, and he fell to the ground. Rubbing the bump on his head, Dongfang Yuechu turned around and saw Tushan Yaya, who had a kind face and was carrying a spiked club, looking at him with a strange grin.

"Come on, I'll teach you some magic!"

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, if you're going to teach magic, just teach magic. You don't need to carry around a spiked club, do you?"

"Enough talk! Let's go!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya grabbed Dongfang Yuechu's ahoge (cowlick) and dragged him into the back hall.

"Fairy, fairy sister, save me!"

Soon after, Dongfang Yuechu's miserable screams came from inside the house!

If Haoyang had called his brother's name at the beginning of the month, he might have actually been able to help him.

"Alas, my little brother ran away at the beginning of the month, so I can only ask Young Master Haoyang for help."

Tu Shan Rongrong chuckled and pulled Tu Shan Honghong, who wanted to go inside, back to her seat to continue enjoying her tea.

Dongfang Haoyang smiled faintly. This little fox demon was treating him like Xiao Yuechu, but he wasn't that simp little brother of hers.

Haoyang went up, put the somewhat puzzled Rongrong under his arms, carried her to his desk, and put her down. He then found a chair and sat down himself.

He'd be happy to help, but he wouldn't allow his cunning little fox demon to slack off; he and Rongrong would share both hardship and happiness.

"Young master, Rongrong is tired."

Seeing Rongrong with her big, bright green eyes wide open, her hands clasped together, looking at him pitifully, Dongfang Haoyang broke out in a sweat and sighed. This little fox demon was the first time he had ever seen her slack off.

"Okay, you only have five minutes, or you'll miss it."

"Okay! Huh? What are you missing?"

Dongfang Haoyang rubbed Rongrong's delicate nose and gently stroked her incredibly cute face.

"Get some rest."

Tu Shan Rongrong held that hand and rubbed it affectionately, then tilted her head in confusion and smiled faintly.

She tilted her head slightly, checked her head, and her cute, fluffy, folded ears curled up slightly before being touched by the adorable Haoyang.

Rongrong's face immediately turned red. The fox demon's ears were still too sensitive. She gave the mischievous boy a shy and angry look, leaned on Haoyang's shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes with a chuckle.

She had absolute trust in her childhood sweetheart; she believed in her judgment and was certain she would not be wrong in such matters.

Tu Shan Honghong stood to the side, sweat dripping from her forehead. She felt somewhat superfluous in that situation.

After taking a sip of tea, Honghong rested her chin on her hand and looked at the glistening candied hawthorn in her hand. She turned back to look at the giant, sorrowful tree outside the window, surrounded by petals, and smiled slightly, her heart filled with longing.

Seeing Tu Shan Honghong's longing expression, Dongfang Haoyang and Rongrong in his arms exchanged a glance, and the corners of their mouths unconsciously turned up.

They went up to the back room, pulled out Xiao Yuechu who was still being subjected to Ya Ya's righteous judgment (a good beating), and treated Dongfang Yuechu, who was grimacing in pain.

"Brother, Sister Ya Ya is too ruthless! She's like a black fox tearing out a heart! What kind of sister-in-law beats her younger brother like that? Wait, could it be that you taught her to do that, big brother?"

Hey, you're right, it really was his brother Dongfang Haoyang who taught him.

"Um... bro, don't move, the treatment will be over soon."

After the treatment, Haoyang placed the resentful Xiaoyue in the seat in front of Tushan Honghong.

Xiao Yuechu, who had just been looking dissatisfied, suddenly turned into a typical sycophantic smile, which made Dongfang Haoyang almost want to send his little brother a fire dragon.

He's fucking simp! Is that all the charm the blond guy has? He's even used his ability to change his face without batting an eye.

Back at his seat, he continued reviewing documents. Two little fox spirits, whether by prior arrangement or not, one transformed into a nine-tailed white fox and burrowed into Haoyang's robe, only its snow-white head peeking out.

Another green-haired fox demon gracefully lay on top of Dongfang Haoyang's head, pressing down on his two upright ahoge (cowlicks), and peacefully began to snore.

Half an hour later, Dongfang Haoyang finished reviewing the mountain of documents and lifted the green-haired little fox demon that had been lying on his head down.

The little fox spirit hugged its big, green tail and looked very cute.

"Oh~ Oh? Sorry, young master, Rongrong is asleep, hehe."

Dongfang Haoyang flicked the green-haired little fox demon on the head.

"You said five minutes, but half an hour has passed. Rongrong, are you really treating me like that kid from the beginning of the month...?"

Tu Shan Rongrong chuckled and rubbed her forehead. The little fox demon, who was being held in mid-air, revealed a human-like smile, opened her two little paws, and showed her pink paw pads, wanting a hug.

"It's really quite a big fox now." Dongfang Haoyang said, waving his hand to signal the Silver Moon Guards in the palace to step back. The Silver Moon Guards nodded and retreated in unison.

Seeing that there were no more eyes around to make the little fox demon blush, Dongfang Haoyang smiled and gave Rongrong a big hug.

Tu Shan Rongrong chuckled happily, then transformed into human form, fully absorbing energy. The little fox demon intended to reluctantly help her childhood sweetheart, but instead saw that stacks of documents had already been moved to the completed area.

"Have they all been approved?!"

Tu Shan Rongrong was stunned, her gaze somewhat blank, her emerald green eyes wide open.

"Well, I rejected the memorials from the Tushan Silver Moon Guard requesting a reduction in silver and supplies, as well as the memorials from the Southern Kingdom requesting our support."

"Of course I don't want to be dictatorial about this. After all, it's Tushan's internal affair, and we can discuss everything."

What surprised Tu Shan Rongrong wasn't actually this. It was a memorial that she herself would take at least five or six hours to fully review and approve, but Haoyang finished it in just half an hour? That's incredibly fast.

"Can I check it?"

"Of course." Dongfang Haoyang shrugged. Correcting this stuff is much easier than learning to draw when he was a kid.

Tu Shan Rongrong read through the books one by one, becoming more and more shocked. The comments not only showed agreement, but also included annotations, clearly indicating who had committed what, what they had done, and what remedies were needed for each part.

"The dam behind Tushan Mountain has been in disrepair for many years and requires 5000 taels of silver. Approval granted, but rejected..."

Note: "Hu San, the chief supervisor in charge of the dam construction, was found to have deliberately replaced the century-old pear wood of the dam with rotten driftwood, embezzling 12,000 taels of public funds for materials."

"This demon has a monthly salary of 500 taels, but he spends 3000 taels on food and drink in half a month at Yaoxinzhai, and also keeps a mistress, a fox demon named Cuihua."

"According to reliable investigations, this demon abandoned his family and drove his original wife, Ms. Li, and her biological son out of Tushan, and massacred them, causing the mother and son to die outside Tushan. He appears to be a pillar of society but is actually a hugely corrupt official, worse than a beast. He should be sentenced to death by slow slicing."

"The project is now contracted to the Huangfengling Construction Team, which has a better reputation and conduct... 500 taels as advance payment... 500 taels as final payment."

"How do you know so much, young master?"

Dongfang Haoyang straightened his expression slightly and wrote the Tushan construction plan while speaking calmly.

"I naturally have my own informants and spies. If Rongrong wants to use them, she can use them to her heart's content."

"Of course, I also admit that this does show some bias towards Jin Linling and the monsters under her Huangfengling."

"But my people have investigated their construction teams, and the houses and dams built in Huangfengling are indeed very well done, and the prices are relatively low. Rongrong can investigate this at will."

I am willing to take primary responsibility if there are any problems.
