Chapter 160 I’ll take care of you
  After the rain, the weather became much cooler.
  When Shen Zhuoxi arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion, Jing Muling was practicing swordplay in the backyard.
  Wearing a black robe with a circle of golden wishful lines, it made his figure even taller and taller.
  He drew his sword very quickly, and as soon as he flipped his wrist, the sword blossomed like a rainbow.
  Shen Zhuoxi stood aside without disturbing her. Jing Muling had already seen her, but he pretended not to see her and could only continue what he was doing.
  It was Zhengqing who accidentally saw Shen Zhuoxi and saluted loudly before Jing Muling gradually stopped.
  This was the first time they met after their marriage.
  Jing Muling handed the sword to Zhengqing, wiped the sweat with a towel, and said, "Why didn't someone tell you that you were here?"
  "I happened to see that the prince was concentrating, so I didn't bother him." Shen Zhuoxi made an excuse and said, "I wonder if the prince is feeling better after using the newly made potion."
  "The light I can perceive is stronger than before." Jing Muling paused in wiping sweat and said, "Your medicine is really effective. My eyes may be able to recover before the wedding."
  When talking about the wedding, Shen Zhuoxi felt awkward for a moment, always feeling that the two of them seemed weird getting along.
  She cleared her throat and changed the subject: "I just saw the prince practicing his sword. It has been a long time since the prince has been on the battlefield, but he still wields the sword with majesty. It is really gratifying."
  "I'm unfamiliar." A smile appeared on Jing Muling's lips: "Go to the front yard to talk. I'll change my clothes and come."
  Jing Muling changed into a silver-white robe, with dark bamboo leaf patterns on the cuffs and collar. Compared with the black outfit just now, the white one made her look more handsome.
  Looking at it this way, Jing Muling is indeed a good person!
  Shen Zhuoxi took a second look and looked away uncomfortably, feeling a little lucky in her heart - Fortunately, King Yu had a golden face. If he had a pockmarked face, how would she live the rest of her life?
  Jing Muling didn't know what she was thinking, but she felt a faint pink color spread on her cheeks, making her a little more delicate than before.
  He just thought it was because of the marriage, took Zhengqing's hand, sat down next to Shen Zhuoxi, and said: "Besides looking at your eyes, do you have nothing else to say to me?"
  "Yes." When Shen Zhuoxi saw that he asked the question proactively, he stopped hiding it and said directly: "The Taishi Mansion once gave a golden sword as a gift for the prince's victory. I wonder if you can let me see it?"
  "There is such a thing." Jing Muling was suddenly disappointed, but still ordered Zhengqing: "Go to the warehouse and find it for the second lady."
  When Zhengqing went to look for the sword, Jing Muling asked curiously: "Why are you interested in that sword?"
  What Shen Zhuoxi wanted to do couldn't be hidden from Jing Muling. She told the truth and said: "When the family checked the accounts, they found something wrong. The sword is probably made of gold-plated iron."
  "Gold plating?" Jing Muling snorted coldly, and her face suddenly darkened: "Shen Heshan is really smart enough to fool me with such a thing!"
  When he returned in triumph, there was no grand banquet. Only the emperor held a celebration banquet for him. The ministers looked at the emperor's face and gave him many gifts.
  As the prince's teacher, Shen Heshan was so ignorant of the heights of the world!
  Shen Zhuoxi explained: "It's not the grand master's fraud, it's the eldest lady in the house who obstructed it and enriched his own pockets."
  "Then." Jing Muling said suspiciously, "Look at the purpose of that sword..."
  "Your Majesty, the eldest lady is a woman. If you ask her for this sword, you will lose your grace." There was a bit of cunning on Shen Zhuoxi's face, like a little fox ready to cause trouble: "I said I would help you seek justice. ,Do you believe it?"
  "Letter." Jing Muling looked at her cute expression and couldn't help but said, "Do you need help?"
  "No need, she is no match for me." Shen Zhuoxi's smile became even brighter: "You just need the prince to lend me the power of a fox and a tiger."
  "You and I are going to get married soon. Even if they show their status as Princess Yu, they don't dare to do anything to you." Jing Muling said in a gentle voice, "This is not a fake show of force."
  "No matter what kind of trap you make, I will be there to carry it for you."
  Jing Muling took the initiative to mention marriage. Shen Zhuoxi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why did the prince choose me?"
  "The king has long said that you are worthy." Jing Muling's voice was deep and convincing: "This marriage is the result of my sincere request to the Queen Mother."
  "I will treat you well in the future, so you can rest assured."
  Shen Zhuoxi was shocked by his sudden words and didn't know how to answer. He hesitated: "Perhaps, I am not as good as the prince imagined."
  "You are who you are, not my imagination." Jing Muling said sternly: "As long as you don't dislike me for being blind, and don't dislike me for being much older than you."
  "I don't mind it." After Shen Zhuoxi said it, he felt something was wrong and wanted to bite off his tongue.
  The answer was too quick, Jing Muling wouldn't have misunderstood!
  What she meant was that she simply didn’t dislike him!
  I have no intention of rushing to marry him...
  Shen Zhuoxi couldn't help but the red clouds flew up on her face, but fortunately Jing Muling couldn't see it.
  She comforted herself in this way, holding her face in her hands and changing the subject: "Why isn't Zhengqing coming back?"
  Just as he was talking, Zhengqing came back with a sword: "There are too many things in the warehouse, and it was hard to find them. Is this what the second lady is talking about?"
  "Yes." Shen Zhuoxi took the sword and threw it to the ground.
  Zhengqing was startled and it was too late to stop him.
  The golden sword collided with the marble on the ground, making a crisp sound. At the same time, the hilt and body of the sword instantly separated and fell into two halves!
  Zhengqing's eyes widened when he saw it. As he went to pick up the wreckage on the ground, he said in surprise: "The gift list clearly stated that the golden sword was sent from the Taishi Mansion. Why did it fall into two pieces?!"
  After picking it up, his tone became even more surprised: "What's inside isn't gold at all, it's black iron. Your lord, how could the Taishi Mansion give you something like this and pass it off as a good thing?"
  "The second lady came here to talk about this matter." Jing Muling knew it in advance and was not surprised: "Pick up the things and wrap them up, and bring them back to the second lady."
  Zhengqing glanced at the two of them suspiciously, full of doubts, but still followed Jing Muling's instructions, wrapped the things and handed them to Dragonfly.
  When Shen Zhuoxi said goodbye, Jing Muling remembered something and asked her: "Do you like mandarin ducks or dragons and phoenixes?"
  "What?" Shen Zhuoxi didn't hear clearly.
  "The pattern on the wedding dress." Jing Muling explained: "Do you like mandarin ducks or dragons and phoenixes?"
  "Aren't wedding dresses all made by the embroiderers in the palace?" Shen Zhuoxi paused and said, "I can do anything."
  After Shen Zhuoxi and Huizhi Dragonfly left Prince Yu's Mansion, Zhengyang came back and couldn't wait to find Dao Jing Muling and said, "Sir, do you have a second set of the lavender glazed jade jewelry you gave the second lady? "
  "How is it possible? It doesn't belong to the Rongqing clan." Jing Muling said lightly, "What else did you find?"
  "The villain saw a young lady wearing a pendant exactly like the glazed jade you gave to the second lady!" Zhengyang scratched his head and said, "The villain took a close look at her."
  "Are you sure it's the set of glazed jade?" Jing Muling frowned.
  "Yes." Zhengyang was very sure: "If you only have one set, you can't go wrong!"
  Jing Muling thought of something and said, "Go and find out who that young lady is."
