My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

At dawn, the sky was still shrouded in darkness, but Gu Jinxuan had already quietly gotten up and prepared to go to the court.

He dressed and washed quietly, for fear of waking up his wife Lin Qingxue who was sleeping beside him. After everything was tidied, he gently pushed open the door and disappeared into the darkness before dawn.

Not long after Gu Jinxuan left, Lin Qingxue, who was sleeping quietly on the bed, slowly opened her eyes. Without her husband by her side, she immediately lost her sleepiness.

So she quickly got up, dressed neatly and went to the study next door. This study was usually filled with various account books and documents, and Lin Qingxue often handled the family's financial affairs here.

Soon, the sky gradually brightened. Sunlight streamed into the study through the window, illuminating the pile of account books on the table.

Just then, there was a slight knock on the door. It turned out that the four children of Gu Huaiyuan's family came to have breakfast with Lin Qingxue.

The children happily walked into the study and gathered around Lin Qingxue. They walked towards the dining room, chatting and laughing, and enjoyed a hearty breakfast.

After finishing their meal, the children couldn’t wait to go to the front yard to start their day’s lessons.

Looking at the children's backs as they left, Lin Qingxue was left alone there, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness and boredom in her heart.

She slowly walked back to the study and sat down quietly. At this moment, everything around her was quiet, with only the occasional chirping of birds outside the window.

Lin Qingxue closed her eyes slightly, letting her thoughts drift away. Somehow, she suddenly remembered the saltpeter she had stored at home. These saltpeter had been idle in the corner of the warehouse and had never been fully utilized.

At this moment, a wonderful idea as brilliant as the fireworks suddenly blooming in the night sky suddenly flooded into Lin Qingxue's mind without warning. It felt like a dazzling lightning that instantly flashed through her mind that was originally as calm as a lake, stirring up thousands of waves.

Perhaps, doing nothing like this is not a solution, she thought. If she didn't find something interesting to do, she would probably be swallowed up by this endless boredom.

When she thought of this, a ray of smart light suddenly flashed in Lin Qingxue's beautiful eyes like autumn water, as bright and dazzling as a meteor across the night sky. The light seemed to contain endless wisdom and cunning.

Then, like a dancing fairy, she gently waved her hand, as delicate as white jade. This wave seemed soft and weak, but in fact it carried an invisible majesty.

Seeing this, Chuntao and Donghe did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and quickly left the room respectfully.

After the two figures completely disappeared outside the door, Lin Qingxue straightened her body slightly, raised her voice a little, and said to the empty air: "Wen Nuan, you must quickly run to the Lin Mansion and get all those things from the warehouse in my yard. Remember, don't leave anything behind. These are all treasures with important uses!"

Although Wen Nuan didn't show up at that moment, it wasn't long before her clear and melodious voice, as sweet as a yellow oriole escaping a valley, came from a corner in response: "Alright, my lord, you can rest assured! I'll rush over to get it right away. I will definitely complete the task with quality and quantity, and live up to your expectations!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a slight sound of wind. The sound was as thin as a gossamer at first, but in a flash it became a whistling sound, like the momentum of thousands of horses galloping.

It seemed that Wen Nuan couldn't wait to set off for the Lin Mansion. Time passed by minute by minute. About half an hour later, a breeze suddenly blew in the originally quiet study. This breeze carried a hint of warmth and gently brushed across Lin Qingxue's face.

Immediately afterwards, a beautiful figure quietly emerged, and when I looked closely, it was Wen Nuan.

She was standing there gracefully, holding a few clay jars filled with saltpeter steadily in her hands, with a confident and cheerful smile on her face.

"Master, I've brought all the things here, not a single thing is missing!"

A clear and warm cry was heard, and the voice seemed to be mixed with some difficult-to-conceal sense of seeking credit and uncontrollable joy.

Lin Qingxue, who was sitting at the table, stood up suddenly when she heard the sound. Her movements were quick and neat. She walked quickly towards the person who came to report the news, her face filled with excitement and anticipation.

When the man handed the pottery jar in his hand to her, Lin Qingxue couldn't wait to reach out and take it.

This pottery jar looks ordinary, but Lin Qingxue holds it carefully in her palm as if it were a treasure. She gently strokes the rough surface of the pottery jar with her fingers, as if she can feel the huge energy contained in it through this simple touch.

At this moment, her mind was working rapidly, constantly thinking about how to make full use of the saltpeter in the jar to realize the bold plan in her mind.

You know, saltpeter has many magical uses! Not only can it be used to make ice, bringing a touch of coolness to the scorching summer; if it is added with the right amount of charcoal and sulfur, it can be transformed into powerful gunpowder - just like she had learned in the police academy.

At this moment, what Lin Qingxue was thinking about and what she wanted to make with her own hands was the gunpowder that could explode with huge energy and destructive power!

To be more precise, what she wanted to create was actually a simplified version of the bomb that was relatively simple and easy to operate.

Although such homemade bombs may be slightly inferior in power compared to high-end military weapons carefully developed by professional teams.

However, if placed in certain specific scenarios, this seemingly insignificant little bomb may be able to demonstrate amazingly powerful effects.

When she thought of these possibilities, Lin Qingxue's already determined eyes instantly became even more resolute, as if she had already seen the dawn of victory through the heavy fog, and was waving her arms enthusiastically at her not far ahead.

After calming herself down a bit, Lin Qingxue gently and carefully placed the pottery jar filled with various raw materials on the table.

Then, she deftly found paper and pen, and quickly got into the state and began to draw a detailed sketch of how to make this simple bomb.

I saw her holding the pen with full concentration, sketching carefully every stroke, while her brain was working rapidly, constantly calling up from the depths of her memory all kinds of relevant knowledge she had accumulated when she was studying in the police academy.

She sets extremely high standards for herself, striving to ensure that every line, every annotation, and every piece of data in the drawing is accurate and correct.

Wen Nuan, who had been silently accompanying her, could only stare at the complicated drawing with wide eyes.

Although she was completely confused by the densely packed symbols and patterns on it, seeing Lin Qingxue's completely absorbed expression, Wen Nuan knew that she must not interrupt her train of thought easily, so she remained quiet and didn't even dare to breathe.

After the sketch was completed, Lin Qingxue looked at the drawing and felt a little nervous. After all, this was in ancient times, and the materials and tools for production were very limited. If there was any mistake, not only would the plan fail, but it might also cause danger.

However, when she thought of the critical moments that might occur in the future and the possible turnaround that this attempt might bring, the slight hesitation in her heart instantly disappeared without a trace.

Although the road ahead was full of unknowns, she resolutely chose to trust her intuition, took this step bravely, and was determined to give it a try.

"Wen Nuan, I'll have to trouble you this time. Please help me find some charcoal and sulfur. Remember, you must be cautious and act as secretly as possible. Don't let anyone know our true purpose."

Lin Qingxue lowered her voice and gave instructions to Wen Nuan, her eyes revealing determination and trust.

Wen Nuan nodded without hesitation, and then her figure flashed, as if she turned into a light breeze, and disappeared from the study in the blink of an eye.

While Wen Nuan was out looking for materials, Lin Qingxue did not waste a single minute. She concentrated on conducting a detailed inspection of the saltpeter in front of her.

She gently picked up each piece of saltpeter, placed it in her palm and examined it carefully, feeling its texture and weight.

After a careful inspection, Lin Qingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief - the quality of these saltpeters was high, and the quantity fully met the needs.

Then she quickly walked to the cabinet in the study, opened the door skillfully, and began to rummage inside.

In a short while, she found some soft cloth and some strong ropes, which would become important materials for wrapping and fixing gunpowder.

Time passed quietly, and after about an hour and a half, there was a slight noise suddenly coming from the study door.

Wen Nuan flashed into the house like a ghost, holding a package tightly in her hand. Needless to say, it contained the charcoal and sulfur that were crucial to this operation.

"Master, the task you assigned me is finally completed! I went to great lengths to find this sulfur! I finally managed to get it from the experienced craftsman in our mansion!"

As Wen Nuan spoke, she raised her hand to wipe away the beads of sweat on her forehead, a smug look on her face.

Lin Qingxue smiled and reached out to take the package from Wen Nuan. She gently untied the rope and carefully examined the contents.

After confirming everything was correct, she nodded with satisfaction and praised, "Well done, Wen Nuan. From now on, I'll need you and Wen Shui to help keep watch over here. I'm ready to start the experiment."

"Yes, master!" Wen Nuan responded respectfully, and then her figure flashed and disappeared from Lin Qingxue's sight as quickly as a ghost.

Lin Qingxue turned and walked to the door of the study. She first carefully observed the surroundings and made sure that there was nothing unusual. Then she slowly closed the door and closed the window tightly.

After taking all these precautions, she took a deep breath and walked towards the table where various tools and materials were placed.

Lin Qingxue picked up a spotless white handkerchief from the table and gently wiped off any dust that might be on her hands.

Then, she reached out and took a small cloth bag filled with saltpeter from the side, and carefully poured it into the slightly rough stone mortar in front of her. As the saltpeter continued to fall into the mortar, a slight "rustling" sound was made.

Then, Lin Qingxue picked up another bag of charcoal and gently poured the charcoal into the mortar with the same movement. At this time, a layer of black charcoal powder and white saltpeter particles had accumulated in the mortar.

Finally, Lin Qingxue picked up the bottle containing precious sulfur, opened the cap, and carefully added the yellow sulfur powder little by little.

After all three raw materials were placed in the stone mortar, she put down the bottle in her hand and picked up a wooden pestle.

Lin Qingxue held the pestle tightly in both hands and began to stir the mixture in the mortar slowly and steadily. She concentrated on controlling the force and was very careful every time she turned the pestle, fearing that excessive force would cause friction and heat, which would lead to an unexpected explosion.

Wen Nuan, who was standing aside, was also nervous at this moment. She opened her eyes wide and stared at Lin Qingxue's every move without blinking.

The whole room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing seemed particularly clear. Wen Nuan didn't even dare to breathe, as if the slightest movement would disturb Lin Qingxue who was concentrating on her work.

After a long and arduous effort, the dark brown gunpowder with a pungent smell was finally successfully produced.

Lin Qingxue carefully placed this precious achievement on the chopping board in front of her, then picked up a delicate little shovel and began to divide the gunpowder evenly into several equal portions.

Each portion of gunpowder was gently scooped up like a treasure she carefully cared for, and then slowly poured into the soft cloth that had been prepared long ago.

After all the gunpowder was distributed, Lin Qingxue skillfully folded the four corners of the cloth in half and tightly wrapped the gunpowder inside.

Then she took out a piece of tough rope from the drawer and carefully wrapped it around the wrapped cloth, circle after circle, until she was sure that the explosive packs would not fall apart easily.

Just like that, a series of simple explosive packs that looked crude but were full of danger appeared before his eyes. Looking at the explosive packs neatly arranged on the desk, Lin Qingxue felt an indescribable complex emotion in his heart - excitement and excitement after the task was accomplished, as well as tension and worry about the upcoming action.

However, just as she was immersed in this thought, suddenly, there was a slight but clearly audible sound of footsteps outside the door. The sound came from far away, as if someone was slowly walking towards the study.

In an instant, the slightly relaxed atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. Lin Qingxue's heart tightened. Without time to think, she quickly reached out and grabbed the freshly made explosive packs, and stuffed them all into a cabinet not far away as quickly as possible.

Then she quickly turned back to her desk and hurriedly tidied up the slightly messy table, trying to make everything look as natural as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, Wen Nuan, who had been standing silently by the side, also had a tense expression. She unconsciously clenched her hands into fists, leaned forward slightly, and remained highly alert at all times so that she could respond to any possible emergencies in the first place.
