Chapter 356: Everyone is interested in Thunderball.
Wei Qingwan rested her head on Qi Zhen’s chest with a happy look on her face.
At this moment she felt very relieved and satisfied.
Then Qi Zhen suddenly asked: "By the way, is your sister helping the seventh prince?"
Wei Qingwan raised her head, feeling very unhappy in her heart that Qi Zhen mentioned Wei Qingruo.
In her eyes, Qi Zhen is her light, brings her warmth, and can save her from the abyss; while Wei Qingruo is the person she hates the most right now, and is the culprit who caused her to fall into the quagmire.
Wei Qingwan asked carefully: "Why did Mr. Qi ask about my sister?"
"I mean, if she works for the seventh prince, it may have some influence on our affairs. You know that the sixth prince and I are cousins, and The relationship between the seventh prince and my cousin is..."
Even ordinary people who don't understand government affairs know something about the competitive relationship between the sixth prince and the seventh prince, not to mention that Wei Qingwan is also from the Earl's Palace. The rich lady.
Wei Qingwan quickly explained: "Sister, she is not working for the Seventh Prince, she is working for Princess Jingmin. In this land reclamation and disaster relief, everyone in Taizhou Mansion participated. The Seventh Prince is just one of them, and it cannot be counted as working for the Seventh Prince." The prince does things."
"Oh? That makes me feel relieved." Qi Zhen smiled softly.
"Yes." Wei Qingwan nodded, feeling slightly relaxed.
Then Qi Zhen said casually: "It would be better if your sister could help His Highness Sixth Prince." "
Why did Mr. Qi say that?" Wei Qingwan's heart tightened again.
"Now that the Emperor has sent the Sixth Highness to Jiangnan to provide relief, we are really in need of manpower. If the Wei family can help the Sixth Highness with meritorious deeds, it will be of great help to both the Wei family and me in the future. "Qi Zhen analyzed.
Hearing this, Wei Qingwan pursed her lips, with mixed emotions in her eyes.
Then Qi Zhen smiled brightly and said: "You don't have to take it to heart. I just mentioned this matter. I should work hard for you and me, and I can't expect the things of others. What's more, it's your sister, What she wants to do is her business, and it's not her business to interfere."
Wei Qingwan nodded slightly, and countless thoughts passed through her mind.
Qi Zhen comforted: "Don't think too much. Although there is a bad reputation outside, my father has never been able to defeat me. As long as I insist, he will definitely agree." "Yes." Wei Qingwan responded softly
, Qi Zhen's comfort was very useful, but she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.
After the two had a small talk, Qi Zhen left.
After Qi Zhen left, Wei Qingwan sat alone in the room, her face still solemn.
Cui He had a smile on his face: "Miss, Mr. Qi left you a lot of things, and said he would find a way for me to take you back. Why are you still frowning?" Wei Qingwan did not answer Cui He's words
. , but glanced at what Qi Zhen sent behind Cui He.
Then he said to Cuihe: "Sell some valuable things that I can't use, and then find a way to help me find medicine that can remove scars." Cuihe nodded hurriedly: "I will do it now.
"
After Cui He left, Wei Qingwan's brows still didn't relax, and her mind kept thinking of Qi Zhen's words just now.
Not only did Wei Qingwan not expect Wei Qingruo to be helpful in her marriage with Mr. Qi, she also didn't want Wei Qingruo to do anything for the Sixth Prince, and she didn't even want Wei Qingruo to have contact with the Sixth Prince, Mr. Qi and others.
Therefore, she would not say a word to Wei Qingruo about Mr. Qi's proposal just now.
For the marriage between her and Mr. Qi, she could just trust Mr. Qi, and there was no need for Wei Qingruo.
But for some reason, she was vaguely worried that Wei Qingruo would ruin her marriage to Mr. Qi.

Chu Lan is currently in Yusheng Tea House. He didn't really come here to drink tea and take it easy. Given the current situation, he couldn't take it easy.
It's just that he doesn't trust other people in Taizhou Mansion, and after the last robbery of grain and grass, the military camp has become a suspicious place.
Therefore, he specially hid in the tea room of Yu Sheng Tea House to discuss matters with Lu Yuhong and some cronies.
On the tea table by the window, Chu Lan was looking through recent military records, and Lu Yuhong, who was sitting opposite him, came over curiously.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this control map?" Lu Yuhong asked while looking at it carefully.
Although Lu Yuhong was not good at writing, he still inherited the excellent blood of the Lu family in terms of martial arts, and he could understand things like deployment and control plans at a glance.
But he didn't see anything wrong with the control content.
"There is nothing wrong with the map itself, but this defense map is from the last time we fought against Japanese pirates." Chu Lan said.
"Is it the time in April when our army suffered heavy losses and Wei Mingting almost died?" Lu Yuhong nodded.
"Wei Mingting mentioned this matter when he came to discuss with me the day before yesterday. He suspected that our army's actions at that time might have been leaked to the Japanese pirates, causing their raid to fall into a trap." "What do you mean? Is there anyone in the anti-Japanese army who is a collaborator?
" Lu Yuhong's face was shocked, and then turned into anger, "We are all citizens of the Celestial Dynasty, why should we collaborate with the enemy and betray our country?"
"Because of interests, because of money." Chu Lan answered.
"Are you sure?"
"Not yet." Chu Lan was looking for flaws, but so far no clear clues had been obtained.
It seems that it is not an easy task to find this spy hiding in the military camp.
"Then you'd better stop reading now. I think you've seen it so early in the morning. Why don't you have a cup of tea and relax yourself." Lu Yuhong suggested.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull away the defense map in front of Chu Lan, and changed the subject: "Why don't you tell me about the thunderbolts? Those thunderbolts are really that powerful. They can kill a group of well-trained soldiers at once. Blast them all to death?"
Lu Yuhong was more interested in thunder bombs than studying defense plans.
"I have never seen with my own eyes the scene when a thunderbolt bomb explodes. I have only seen the remains of corpses after being bombed. Like you, I also want to see with my own eyes what a thunderbolt bomb looks like when it is used." Chu Lan is also full of excitement about thunderbolt bombs. interested and curious.
"Haven't you already found the ship dealer who can provide thunderbolts?" "
Yes, we have found it. We will arrive in Taizhou Prefecture on the fourth day of August. After staying in Fucheng for one night, we will meet us at the military camp the next day." Chu Lan replied.
"Can you let me see it then?" Lu Yuhong was full of curiosity.
"It's not a bad idea."
"Then it's settled, I'll go with you on the fifth day of August!" Lu Yuhong looked excited, already looking forward to the legendary powerful new weapon.

Seeing Wei Jinyi standing at the door, Wei Ruo couldn't help but smile.
"Good morning, second brother."
"Yes, good morning." Wei Jin responded, and then told Wei Ruo the good news, "The fish has taken the bait."
