Feng Yuwan has been helping Huo Zhanting and others research explosives these days, and there have been some results.

The weather was really bad today and Feng Yuwan couldn't go out, so she stayed in the house.

Hearing Nangong Mingyue's words, he subconsciously looked up at Shen Qinglan and said with a smile:

"Sister Princess is smart, so she must know something. But Sister Princess didn't say anything, so there must be a reason for her not to say it. Sister Nangong, you don't have to take it too seriously."

When Nangong Mingyue heard Feng Yuwan's words, she stretched out her hand and pinched Feng Yuwan's face in anger, saying:

"Girl, aren't you curious at all?"

Feng Yuwan's expression changed unpredictably in Nangong Mingyue's hands. She said helplessly:

"Do not……"

Before she finished speaking, Feng Yuwan saw the threatening, grim smile on Nangong Mingyue's face. She immediately changed the subject and looked at Shen Qinglan, saying pitifully:

"I'm so curious! Sister Princess, please tell us so that we can eat some melons and calm the people!"

Shen Qinglan had long been accustomed to Feng Yuwan's occasional words that she did not understand. Seeing Feng Yuwan's humiliating appearance, she said with some amusement:

"That was my guess. Since Shen Qingli was locked up in the woodshed for a few days, that means she must have been searched. How could the Li family leave her a dagger?"

"Besides, she was able to kill two people in a row, even if it was a surprise attack. However, how much strength can you have after three days without food or water?"

When Nangong Mingyue heard this, she suddenly widened her eyes in surprise and said:

"You mean, someone is helping Shen Qingli?"

Feng Yuwan suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I understand too. Someone is using someone else's knife to kill someone, right? If someone is really using someone else's knife to kill someone, it's very simple to find out who it is. Whoever benefits from it has the motive, so..."

"The principal wife of the second branch of the Li family?" Nangong Mingyue also came in with a look of surprise on her face.

The second wife has been suppressed by Li Youyun and his mother for more than ten years, and has also been ridiculed in the aristocratic circles in the entire capital for more than ten years.

Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance.

Perhaps the wife of the second branch of the Li family has been worn out to the point where she has no desire to resist, but the same may not be true for her daughter-in-law.

Shen Qinglan also knew this sister-in-law from his previous life very well.

She is a smart woman and also a woman who dares to think and act.

When she was in the Li family in her previous life, she had fought with many parties for the right to control the household affairs, so Shen Qinglan knew her abilities.

Therefore, the fact that such a thing happened to the second branch of the Li family was undoubtedly caused by this person.

In the previous life, when she was around, she would naturally not give the eldest young lady any chance. Now, without her, with the ability of the eldest young lady, it didn't take long for her to deal with Li Youyun and his mother.

Not only that, Shen Qinglan felt that the fact that the second master of the Li family was paralyzed in bed might also be the work of the eldest young lady.

Nangong Mingyue was surprised, and then she said with emotion: "Fortunately, I have nothing to do with the Li family. No matter how chaotic their family is, it has nothing to do with us."

Shen Qinglan smiled and nodded, agreeing with that.

In this life, she didn't want to get involved in the dirty affairs of the Li family, but Shen Qingli had escaped and had not been caught yet, and no one knew where she had gone.

Shen Qinglan knew Shen Qingli, and was afraid that after she ran away, she would blame all her resentment on her, right?

So Shen Qinglan guessed that Shen Qingli would most likely come to cause trouble for her, and even wanted to kill her like she killed Li Youyun and the others.

After Shen Qinglan thought about this, he decided to give orders, asking people to keep a closer eye on the place and also to check if there were any suspicious people around Prince Zhan's mansion.

Just after Shen Qinglan gave the order, Lu Jinghuai also came.

It was snowing heavily outside. When Lu Jinghuai came into the warm room, the ground was already covered with a thick layer of snow.

After he took off his big banner and handed it to the servant, he walked forward and saw Shen Qinglan, Nangong Mingyue and Feng Yuwan sitting together. He paused, and after keeping a certain distance from the three of them, he bowed to Shen Qinglan and the others and said hello.

Seeing Lu Jinghuai standing far away, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but waved and said with a smile:

"Don't be shy, come and sit down."

After taking a look at Nangong Mingyue and the others, Lu Jinghuai finally moved over obediently, but he still sat on the mat some distance away from the three of them.

Nangong Mingyue couldn't help but sigh: "This is how shameless Mr. Lu is. Why are you so far away? Can the sisters eat you?"

Feng Yuwan raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Jinghuai. She felt that Lu Jinghuai was very good-looking, not inferior to those celebrities.

Lu Jinghuai blushed with embarrassment at Nangong Mingyue's words, and could only bow to Nangong Mingyue and say:

"General Nangong is joking. As a man, I naturally don't care. But I cannot ignore the reputation of the ladies."

Nangong Mingyue listened to Lu Jinghuai's words, couldn't help but smile and leaned on Shen Qinglan's shoulder, saying:

"This Mr. Lu is really thin-skinned. I'm divorced anyway, so I'm not afraid of any reputation."

Feng Yuwan nodded subconsciously and said, "Just ignore what outsiders say."

Lu Jinghuai's face turned even redder as he listened to what they said.

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan looked at the two girls helplessly and said, "Don't bully Jing Huai like this."

After seeing the two of them curl their lips, Shen Qinglan smiled and looked at Lu Jinghuai and asked:

"What's the matter with you coming here today?"

Lu Jinghuai nodded, and then began to tell him about the preparations for the maritime trade in recent days.

With the help of Huo Zhanting, he had already made contact with Lin Wei.

As expected, Lin Wei did not refuse. Not only did he agree to cooperate, he also took the initiative to tell him that the escorts currently employed in the escort agency were actually some very powerful helmsmen brought back from the past. If Lu Jinghuai wanted people, these people would be ready.

Lu Jinghuai was naturally happy. Most people were in awe of things happening at sea, so the more capable people there were in this area, the more secure it would be.

But now there is another thing that makes Lu Jinghuai a little embarrassed.

Because Dayong knew very little about maritime trade, there was not much research on ships.

At least, so far, most of the ships on the market are for river transportation. If these ships are used to go out to sea, they are not stable and the risk factor is too high.

Lu Jinghuai also did some research and found that most of those who went out to sea could not come back because their ships were easily damaged.

Perhaps a small reef, or a storm, can easily cause the ship to be destroyed and people to die.

This is what Lu Jinghuai doesn't want to see.

Since he was going to sea, he wanted to be more secure, at least to be able to make money continuously in the future instead of just making a one-time windfall.

"Is a boat not okay? Maybe we can go to the shipyard and see if we can design a more functional boat that can go out to sea?"

Shen Qinglan felt that Lu Jinghuai's concerns were justified and couldn't help but offer some suggestions.

"I asked around, and no shipyard has done this before, and no one can be sure of it."

Lu Jinghuai sighed, feeling helpless.

If there was really no other way, he would not have come to Shen Qinglan for discussion.

But this matter also involves Shen Qinglan's blind spot in knowledge.

She didn't know much about ships and couldn't give any further suggestions.

At this moment, Feng Yuwan raised her hand cautiously and said:

"Well, are we going to build a ship that can go out to sea?"
