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

"Princess, it's time for lunch! The young masters will probably be here soon. The pot of chicken soup simmering in the small kitchen has been simmering since this morning. It's been simmering all morning. The aroma is overflowing, and it makes my mouth water. I wonder if there's anything special you'd like to eat for lunch today?"

Accompanied by a gentle knock on the door, Donghe's crisp and respectful voice came from outside the door. Her tone was full of respect for Lin Qingxue. At least for now, Lin Qingxue did not notice anything wrong.

"Since we've made such a delicious chicken soup, why not make some shredded chicken noodles? And then pair it with a few delicious side dishes to make it perfect! Oh, and don't forget to make a few more dishes that the little masters will like."

Lin Qingxue narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then calmly gave the order in a low voice.

"Okay, Princess, I understand. I'll tell Nanny Tian right away," Dong He responded respectfully, turned around and left the study with light steps.

After Dong He left, Lin Qingxue pondered for a moment, then turned to Wen Nuan beside her and said, "Wen Nuan, please check around the room first to see if there is anything unusual."

Wen Nuan took the order and began to carefully inspect the surroundings of the house. After a long while, she returned to Lin Qingxue and reported to her, "Your Highness, after a thorough inspection, I found nothing unusual."

Lin Qingxue nodded slightly after hearing this, but she still had some doubts in her heart. However, for now she could only put the matter aside.

Then, she pulled out a few black, round objects from the drawer and handed them to Wen Nuan, instructing her, "Wen Nuan, take these black lumps and find a safe place to test their power and effectiveness. Just light the fuse with the tinder in your hand and quickly throw it away. Remember to evacuate anyone nearby in advance to avoid unnecessary harm."

The black lumps that Lin Qingxue took out were the simple bombs she had carefully made.

Moreover, she deliberately extended the gunpowder on the fuse to almost two centimeters long, so that the person who ignited the fire would have enough time to escape from the danger zone.

"Yes, master, I will go right away." Wen Nuan responded respectfully, then nodded slightly.

He moved gently and cautiously as he slowly placed the mysterious black lump into an exquisite wooden box and carefully closed the lid.

After completing this series of actions, Wen Nuan held the wooden box containing the black lump in both hands, as if holding a rare treasure, and turned around and left carefully.

Looking at Wen Nuan's figure gradually moving away until it disappeared, Lin Qingxue sighed softly, and then slowly sat back in the chair.

She frowned slightly, staring ahead, thinking constantly in her mind how to improve this simple version of the bomb.

Lin Qingxue is well aware of the importance of this weapon. It can not only be a powerful deterrent, but can also change the course of many things.

So, whether it was a powerful or relatively small model, she decided to make several as backup.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but bite her lips lightly, thinking to herself: When the time is right, I must ask Gu Jinxuan to find a way to invite the current emperor out of the palace.

At that time, this amazing black lump can be shown to the emperor, which is sure to cause a sensation.

Lin Qingxue knew very well that she and Gu Jinxuan were one as husband and wife, and they would prosper and suffer together.

Only if Gu Jinxuan can rise to prominence and become successful can she live a stable and comfortable life.

Moreover, perhaps Gu Jinxuan, considering the relationship between husband and wife, will also take extra care of the two lovely daughters she brought with her. Perhaps even everyone in the Gu family will treat the three of them differently and take good care of them because of Gu Jinxuan.

However, Lin Qingxue was also clearly aware that there were many famous families in the imperial city, and those powerful families had always been arrogant and looked down on others.

They simply disdained the so-called Crown Prince's Consort who came from an ordinary background like her.

What's more, what about the two daughters she brought with her who had no prominent family background to support them?

How could these people easily look at them, mother and daughter?

Therefore, for her, if she wants her two precious daughters to successfully marry their ideal husbands in the future, she must have sufficient confidence and capital.

And this seemingly simple bomb device in front of her became a powerful tool for her to express her position and attitude to the emperor.

If the emperor recognized and appreciated her sincerity, she would then use her outstanding achievements to secure the extremely noble title of princess for the three lovely girls, Gu Huaining, Gu Xiaoya and Gu Xiaowan.

Although Gu Huaining is the eldest granddaughter of Princess Anyang, she should enjoy the respected status and treatment of a princess.

However, due to a variety of complex and difficult to explain reasons, this prominent woman ultimately failed to obtain the title of princess as she wished.

Lin Qingxue first tidied up the slightly messy items on the desk and put them in order. Then she stood up and walked to the side hall, which was where the family usually had their meals.

She had just sat down when Chuntao nimbly walked in with a pot of steaming tea and several plates of delicious snacks, and gently placed them on the table.

Seeing this, Lin Qingxue smiled and nodded to Chuntao to express her gratitude, then she gracefully picked up the teapot and filled herself a cup of fragrant tea. She took a sip, and the warm tea aroma instantly spread in her mouth.

At this moment, a burst of cheerful footsteps came from afar, accompanied by a clear and tender child's voice: "Mom, what are we having for lunch?"

It turned out that Gu Huaiyuan and his four siblings had returned. Before he finished speaking, they had already rushed into the side hall.

Lin Qingxue still didn't raise her head and answered casually, "I've prepared shredded chicken noodles for lunch, as well as a few of your favorite side dishes. If there's anything else you'd like to eat, you can tell mother and I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you."

The older Gu Huaiyuan was very well-behaved and sensible. He quickly said, "Mom, this is enough! We will eat whatever you cook. There is no need to prepare anything else."

Although the other three children did not say anything, they all nodded to show that they agreed with their brother.

However, Lin Qingxue looked at the children with loving eyes and continued to suggest with a smile: "How about this, it seems like we haven't eaten roast duck for a long time, how about having roast duck for lunch tomorrow?"

Hearing this, the children's eyes suddenly lit up, and their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.

Finally, it was Gu Huaiyuan who responded on behalf of everyone: "Okay, Mother! Thank you, Mother!"

At this moment, Lin Qingxue's gaze fell gently on the four innocent smiling faces in front of her, which were as bright as the warm spring sun. Her heart was instantly filled with endless happiness and satisfaction.

She gazed at the children quietly, as if time had stopped at this moment, and she only wished to freeze this warm and beautiful scene deep in her memory forever.

Not long after, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from the small kitchen. It turned out that the maids brought over a sumptuous and delicious lunch. The table was filled with delicious dishes that looked good and smelled good, making people salivate.

The family sat happily around the table, the atmosphere was harmonious and lively. Gu Huaiyuan was holding chopsticks and eating the shredded chicken noodles in the bowl with relish.

Suddenly, he looked up, his big eyes sparkling with curiosity, and asked, "Mom, what have you been busy with all day today?"

Lin Qingxue was slightly stunned, but then the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a gentle smile.

She gently put down her bowl and chopsticks and patiently explained, "Nothing's happening. Mother has been checking the account books all day. After all, she just married into our family not long ago, and there are still many things that haven't been sorted out, so she's been busy dealing with these matters all morning."

Hearing his mother's answer, Gu Huaining quickly swallowed the last mouthful of fragrant shredded chicken noodles in his mouth, then walked over to Lin Qingxue with a smile and said with concern: "Mom, if there is anything you need my help with, just tell me, okay? I'm grown up now and can help you share some things!"

After saying this, she looked at Lin Qingxue expectantly. It was obvious that she really wanted to get her approval and hoped that she could help her.

"My children, you must eat and drink enough, and live happily and carefree every day. This will be the greatest help to me, your mother! Winter is approaching, and thinking back to last year's terrible snowstorm still makes me feel terrified. As for what this year will be like, no one can predict. So, in a few days, your mother will have someone carefully measure your body sizes and make you several sets of warm winter clothes. I will also prepare two beautiful cloaks for each of you, so you won't be afraid of the cold when you go out at night. If you feel cold at night, just tell the servants to light the fire in the house. And don't forget to bring the hot water bottle; it will help warm your bed. Before going to bed, remember to soak your feet in moxa and ginger water. This will not only drive away the cold, but also allow you to sleep comfortably."

Lin Qingxue put down the chopsticks in her hand and said to the four children in front of her with a very serious expression.

At this time, Gu Jinxuan had already gone to the yamen to work, so he naturally would not go home for lunch.

Since he was busy dealing with various complicated official affairs all day, he had no time to take care of the domestic affairs at home.

Since Lin Qingxue married into the Gu family, she has consciously taken on the responsibility of taking care of these trivial housework.

After all, as a member of this family, she should create a warm and comfortable living environment for her family.

Gu Huaining stood aside obediently, with a smile on his face as he interrupted, "Thank you, mother. We will definitely be obedient!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her bright eyes turned and she winked at Lin Qingxue playfully, looking like a lively and cute little rabbit.

Then, she looked at Lin Qingxue expectantly and said coquettishly, "Mom, besides the delicious roast duck, I also really want to drink sweet and delicious milk tea, and the fragrant grilled fish. I want to eat it too, can I?"

Lin Qingxue smiled and reached out her hand, gently stroking Gu Huaining's little head. Her eyes were full of doting as she softly replied, "Of course, no problem, my darling daughter. Tomorrow, mother will ask Donghe and Dongzao to go to the store and buy all these delicious foods. Oh, and let Dongzao learn how to make these delicacies from the master. That way, if you feel cravings in the future, Dongzao can make them for you anytime."

"Wow, that's great! Thank you, Mom!"

When they heard Lin Qingxue's words, the four little guys immediately cheered excitedly, their voices in unison and loud.

You know, the oldest of these four children is only about ten years old, at the age of innocence and love of food.

At this moment, each of them had a happy and satisfied smile on their face, as if they had already seen the tempting food placed in front of them.

After a hearty lunch, the children left the table one after another and walked briskly back to their own rooms to rest.

But Lin Qingxue did not show any sign of tiredness. She went straight to the study, ready to continue thinking deeply about the remarkable bomb improvement.

As soon as she entered the study, Lin Qingxue couldn't wait to spread out the snow-white paper, picked up a delicate pencil, and began to draw various sketches on the paper.

These sketches have smooth and well-arranged lines, like mysterious coded diagrams. Each line represents her unique creativity and thinking, and each annotation contains her desire to improve the performance of the bomb.

Time passed quietly as she was concentrating on her work, and before she knew it, the originally bright sky gradually became dim.

As the sun sets, the orange afterglow shines gently into the house through the window. The afterglow is like a golden veil, gently covering Lin Qingxue, casting her concentrated figure on the wall, and stretching it out like a beautiful silhouette painting.

After unremitting efforts and repeated modifications and improvements, the initially simple bomb finally underwent a new transformation.

Today, it has been cleverly designed by Lin Qingxue into a variety of unique styles.

One of them is as delicate as an arrow. All you need to do is tie it firmly to the arrowhead and light the thin fuse. Once everything is ready, use the power of the bow and arrow to accurately shoot it towards the enemy camp.

However, in order to fully unleash the power of this bomb, the tacit cooperation between the two is undoubtedly the most critical factor.

Another type has a huge round appearance. When its long fuse is ignited, this behemoth can be thrown to a distant place using a powerful catapult.

There is no doubt that this style is particularly suitable for the magnificent battlefield and can bring heavy blows to the enemy.

As for the last one, it is relatively small and exquisite. It can be easily put into a small box that you carry with you. Once an emergency occurs, you only need to quickly light the fuse and throw it at the enemy without hesitation.

Such convenient and easy-to-use features make it an extremely practical secret weapon in Lin Qingxue's hands.
