Chapter 213 Specialized in delivering ice
  The prince in Grandma Ju's mouth must be King Yu Jing Muling.
  Shen Zhuoxi came back to his senses and asked suspiciously: "His Royal Highness King Yu? What are you doing here so early?"
  "My slave doesn't know either." Grandma Ju laughed, her eyes narrowed into slits: "My slave was going to fetch hot water in the backyard, and happened to meet the girl who was waiting in the front yard."
  "I heard from them that His Royal Highness King Yu is here and wants to prepare hot water for tea. All the slaves and maids gathered together. His Highness King Yu rarely comes to our Grand Master's Mansion. This time he came, it must be for you, young lady. I can't even get the water in time. Fight, come here quickly."
  We just met last night, and Jing Muling didn't say that she was coming to the Grand Master's Mansion.
  Could it be that there was something wrong with the medicine given to him yesterday?
  Thinking of this, Shen Zhuoxi didn't care about dressing up. After combing her hair, she went directly to the front yard.
  She got up late, Shen Heshan had already brought Yu Qinglian, Shen Zehuan and others were waiting in the front yard to receive her, while Jing Muling brought Zhengqing and Zhengfeng, and there was nothing strange about her.
  Seeing her, Shen Heshan smiled gently and said, "I was just about to ask someone to call you, but you came here."
  "I have met His Highness King Yu." Shen Zhuoxi crossed Shenhe Mountain and saluted: "Come here so early, but your eyes feel uncomfortable?"
  "No." Jing Muling said succinctly: "It's been very hot these days, especially last night. I noticed that there is very little ice supply in the Taishi Mansion. I don't think you can get much in your room."
  "I'll bring you some today. From now on, there will be someone dedicated to provide it to you every day. If it's not enough, just say so."
  Send her ice?
  What's going on, His Highness King Yu? Why did you suddenly give her these?
  Before she had time to ask, Shen Heshan smiled and said one step ahead of her: "There are indeed not many ice cubes in the Grand Master's Mansion, and there are still some for her. And for such a trivial matter, why does the prince need to come in person?"
  "If your eyes are inconvenient, just ask someone to send it to you."
  "I can rest assured when I hand it over to her personally." Jing Muling paused and pointedly said, "I heard that some people want the rewards I gave her before."
  "It's hard to keep things like ice cubes, but some people have their own ideas. I sent them here, which will help those people's thoughts."
  The smile on Shen Heshan's face froze, and then he defended: "No one has ever thought about her things. Even the dowry of Princess Xiaoqing during her lifetime was sorted out and given to her."
  "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my ministers will ask people to take good care of her in the Grand Master's Mansion until she gets married."
  "Really?" Jing Muling's eyes were dull, but there was a bit of coldness on her face: "The grand master said so nicely, why did I hear people say that you kept severing relations with her?"
  "This..." Shen Heshan was not sure whether the news was from Shen Zhuoxi, so he hesitated and said, "There were some conflicts and misunderstandings before, but there is no overnight feud between father and daughter."
  "It's all said out of anger, it can't be taken seriously."
  Jing Muling's expression remained unchanged and she only said: "No matter what happens to you father and daughter, I just want to remind you that she is my unmarried wife, and half of her legs have already entered the royal family."
  "Identity is no longer something you can beat and scold at will. Do you understand?"
  "Yes, yes." Shen Heshan responded quickly and said, "Everyone understands what the prince said."
  "As long as you understand, I still have something to say to the second lady." Jing Muling stood up and said, "I am not used to there being so many people here. The second lady hasn't had breakfast yet, right?"
  "Yes." Shen Zhuoxi didn't know how he knew, and said: "I got up a little late in the morning."
  "Let's go to Taoxilou." Jing Muling took Zhengfeng's hand and said, "I heard that the cuisine has a new product, let's go and try it."
  Jing Muling sent her ice specially, and Shen Zhuoxi expressed her gratitude, and she would definitely not disobey him.
  As soon as the two left, Shen Heshan's face fell. If the two brothers Shen Zishan hadn't been there, he would have gotten angry long ago out of concern for his face.
  Yu Qinglian, who was watching the excitement, did not think it was a big deal and poured a glass of water for Shen Heshan. She seemed to be aggrieved and said, "His Royal Highness King Yu likes the second lady, but he cannot speak like this to your father-in-law in front of everyone."
  "It seems that we are all in debt to the second lady. I don't know who is gossiping in front of His Highness King Yu. The misunderstanding has resulted in this."
  "Who else could it be?" Shen Heshan drank the tea in one gulp and said angrily: "Apart from Shen Zhuoxi!"
  "It's impossible, the family didn't lose her." Yu Qinglian said in surprise: "Especially the old lady, she is so tight, oh, I won't talk about this anymore, lest others hear it and cause any misunderstanding. .”
  "Fortunately, the wedding day is approaching, and she will get married in less than two months."
  Speaking of this, Yu Qinglian seemed to have thought of something again, and asked Shen Heshan for instructions: "His Royal Highness King Yu has not yet made an appointment, how can we prepare the dowry here? This house..."
  Shen Heshan knew what Yu Qinglian was going to say. He glanced at Brother Shen Zishan and said, "You decide what to do. We will discuss it with the old lady after King Yu appoints him."
  Shen Zehuan was full of suspicion and didn't say anything. When sending Yu Qinglian back, he couldn't help but said: "Mother, Shen Zhuoxi hates us so much, why do you still care about her dowry?"
  "There is nothing extra in the house to make a dowry for her." Yu Qinglian did not hide it from Shen Zehuan, and whispered: "I saved some books before, and gave them all to your uncle for safekeeping just in case."
  "Who would have known that your uncle didn't discuss with me and invested all the money in the jade business, but he couldn't even get it back. Even the accountant in the house still owes me hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."
  "There have been a lot of things lately, but the old lady didn't mention it. I'm afraid I have to make up for it in a few days. Not only that, Shen Zhuoxi took advantage of me for making false accounts and threatened me to pay back all the money I got. "
  "I was testing your father just now to see what he said."
  In the past, only Shen Xinyu knew about these things. Even Shen Xinjiao didn't know them all, let alone Shen Zehuan who was away from home all year round.
  Hearing the news, Shen Zehuan was surprised at first: "Whatever the amount is, I still have some money here to fill some vacancies."
  "It can't be filled." Yu Qinglian stopped, made sure there was no one around, and stretched out two fingers.
  "Two hundred thousand taels?" Shen Zehuan frowned and asked suspiciously.
  Yu Qinglian smiled bitterly and said: "Ten times more."
  "What!" Shen Zehuan was so surprised that he even raised his voice: "You, you emptied the Grand Master's Mansion?"
  Yu Qinglian nodded, acquiescing: "If your eldest sister was here, we could still discuss it, but now she is far away in Zhuangzi, and she doesn't even know whether her injury is better or not."
  "I really don't have time to take care of her here. When she left, she only took some worthless jewelry with her. I don't know if there will be any difficulties there."
  "What else do you want her to do?" Shen Zehuan pulled Yu Qinglian to sit on a bench not far away and said, "What we need to do now is how to get Shen Zhuoxi to hand over the fake account books!"
  "She will definitely not agree to it." Yu Qinglian took a deep breath and said in a lower voice: "Unless she disappears completely from the world! When will the black stone you gave me earlier take effect?"
