These words struck a chord with Liu Aoxue.

Although Liu Jingtao "possessed" the Youlong Sword, it was her father's, and she would keep the Youlong Sword for herself in the future.

Besides, Liu Aoxue already has her own Frost Sword, so she's not in a hurry to snatch the Dragon Sword... In short, Xiao Yu did indeed give the Dragon Sword to her, not Jin Mulan.

"That's more like it."

A satisfied smile immediately appeared on Liu Aoxue's pretty face, and she huffed, "I'm not angry with you anymore."

"My wife is so understanding, how could she be angry with me?"

Xiao Yu looked belatedly surprised and asked, "Were you angry just now?"

"I don't know if you're really stupid or not."

Liu Aoxue snorted softly and stared at Xiao Yu with her almond-shaped eyes, asking a question.

Hehehe.

Xiao Yu knew that his wife had seen through him, so he grinned and chose to avoid answering.

Liu Aoxue wasn't really angry; she was just a little jealous. But she had already been appeased and naturally wouldn't pursue the matter further.

The two continued walking, and Liu Aoxue spoke again: "Sister Mulan came this morning... but she had something to do this afternoon and left."

She called Shen Youyu and Jin Mulan "sister" not because she didn't care about seniority, but because they weren't married yet and she addressed them according to their age.

Of the three women, Shen Youyu is one year older than Jin Mulan, and Jin Mulan is two years older than Liu Aoxue... As for Murong Xian, Xiao Yu hasn't had a chance to propose to the Murong family yet, so she's not counted for now.

"During my absence from the Prince's residence, I have relied entirely on you all."

Xiao Yu held Liu Aoxue's hand tightly, deeply moved, and said, "With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"

"..."

Liu Aoxue blushed. Although she was a chivalrous woman who hated evil, she also had a tender side.

Hearing Xiao Yu say "A day apart feels like three autumns" and now say "With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?" her pretty face instantly turned red, and her heart beat very fast, as if a little deer was running wildly inside her heart.

"You're so glib. I wonder if you usually use this to coax the young fish?"

Liu Aoxue gave a shy hum.

How did you know?

Xiao Yu was shocked, but his face still showed a lovestruck expression as he said earnestly, "My wife should understand that I am a fool and can only tell the truth."

"Pah, pah, pah."

Liu Aoxue didn't believe him.

After walking for a while, Liu Aoxue stopped and said, "You should go back quickly, it's far from the Prince's mansion."

"Then my lady, please be careful on the road."

Xiao Yu thought for a moment, then stopped and refused to see him off any further.

Then, I watched Liu Aoxue leave...

"Why."

Watching Liu Aoxue's figure slowly disappear, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh: "The Xiao Royal Mansion still lacks some Grandmaster-level experts. Relying solely on the manor's soldiers is still not enough!"

Each of these powerful figures has several grandmaster-level experts by their side.

When they went to the mansion to arrest Duke Liu, he was accompanied by a Grandmaster-level expert... This was just one of his close attendants; there must have been more than one Grandmaster in the entire Duke's mansion.

When Bai Tianhao sent assassins to kill him, he dispatched four Grandmasters in one fell swoop. Only a Grandmaster could break through such a situation. Fortunately, Xiao Yu was a Grandmaster, otherwise he would have been doomed that day!

"We need to hurry up and train some experts for the Prince's mansion."

Xiao Yu realized the urgency of the matter; simply training Da Sha wouldn't work... that would be too slow.

Returning to the palace with a heavy heart, Xiao Yu shook off these worries when he reached his room, smiled, and pushed open the door.

"My wife, I'm back."

Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Juro."

Shen Youyu stood up, holding a red brocade robe, and said, "Try the clothes I sewed for you... They're finally finished these past few days."

It could have been finished much earlier, but I made several sets of attack speed-boosting robes in the meantime, which is why this outfit is only now being completed.

"I'll give it a try."

Seeing this magnificent brocade robe, Xiao Yu was mostly moved. In this world, travel was slow and letters took a long time to arrive, yet his wife would still sew clothes for him.

Looking at the beautiful patterns on the brocade robe and the neat stitches, Xiao Yu was somewhat mesmerized.

"I'll help Juro change."

Shen Youyu surrounded Xiao Yu, helping him take off his clothes and then put on a brocade robe.

Wearing a red brocade robe, Xiao Yu looked even more noble, making his handsome face and features appear more defined.

"It really looks beautiful; your wife's cooking skills are excellent."

Xiao Yu looked at himself in the bronze mirror and thought he was incredibly handsome. This was what a wealthy young master in ancient times should look like. He almost couldn't help but ask, "My lady, between me and Xu Gong from the north of the city, who is more handsome?"

"I'm glad Juro likes it."

As she spoke, Shen Youyu yawned softly, clearly tired.

"My wife, let's rest..."

Xiao Yu said.

After getting into bed.

Shen Youyu, however, was no longer sleepy. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes looked at Xiao Yu, blinking as if they could speak.

Xiao Yu understood... Was that tired look just now fake? Was it just to trick him into going to bed early?

Probably not. My wife is gentle, beautiful, considerate, and generous. Why would she resort to such petty tricks?

Moreover, I, Xiao Yu, am at the age of youthful passion, and I don't want to be a groom every night, so I asked, "Wife, do you still have battle armor?"

"I just finished making three sets today..."

Shen Youyu said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

She has now figured out the trick: the more she uses the least and thinnest fabric to make a design, the more Juro likes it.

What used to take a whole day to make, can now be done in just half an hour. The reason is simply that practice makes perfect.

Three sets?

Xiao Yu was startled, then decided to risk his life to accompany his wife.

...

the next day.

When Xiao Yu left the Prince's Mansion, he met Zhao Haining at the gate.

"Haining, did you buy goji berries last time?"

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment before asking.

"I bought it."

After answering, Zhao Haining's gaze lingered on Xiao Yu for a few seconds before he asked timidly, "Your Highness, if you need it, I'll go back and get it for you... I must say, this stuff, when soaked in hot water and drunk, really makes you feel quite energetic, like you're full of power."

"I don't need that stuff, I'll bring some back for Big Fool."

Xiao Yu said with a disdainful look.

Then, feeling guilty, he added, "Give them all here, and you can go buy some more... Da Sha works as a blacksmith during the day and practices boxing at night, so he needs some goji berries to nourish himself."

"Okay, okay."

Zhao Haining gave Xiao Yu a knowing look, then quickly ran away.

A few minutes later, Zhao Haining handed a bag of goji berries to Xiao Yu with both hands.

"Your Highness, I've brought it all... Please take it to Da Sha."

Having received professional training, Zhao Haining suppressed a laugh and made his voice sound normal.

"Um."

Xiao Yu nodded in satisfaction, put the goji berries into his pocket, and prepared to take them back to the workshop to drink.

That's why Zhao Haining is so clever; he sees through things but doesn't say anything. That's the kind of good kid that leaders like...
