Since that was the case, Ruan Mian didn’t say much, went along with his intentions, and followed the attendants to the backyard where Qin Fu was.
The back garden was vibrant with flowers, and Qin Fu sat leisurely drinking tea in the center pavilion.
Seeing her approach, he smiled and greeted, "Miss Ruan, how did you sleep last night?"
Ruan Mian moved her eyebrows slightly, only replying, "Thanks to you, Lord He, everything has been very good at your esteed residence these days, the food and drinks are all quite excellent."
Qin Fu chuckled, "There’s nothing lacking in my residence. Whatever Miss Ruan needs, I will surely satisfy. But you see, so much ti has been given, Miss Ruan should have thought it through by now, shouldn’t she?"
Ruan Mian did not beat around the bush, saying directly, "Naturally."
"With Lord He being so courteous, if I didn’t make a transaction with you, it would seem quite inconsiderate of . Moreover, with these weapons, they would certainly bring great benefits to the people."
These words made Qin Fu smile incessantly, feeling quite pleased inside.
However, when Ruan Mian readily agreed, his shrewd face showed a hint of change.
"Miss Ruan really agrees with ? How many do you currently have in hand?"
"How many blueprints can you still provide with?"
Seeing him being suspicious, Ruan Mian smiled. It was he who proposed the transaction and also he who didn’t trust others — this old fox wanted it both ways.
Yet even so, Ruan Mian had a way to make the old fox trust her completely.
After all, being an important mber of the traitorous faction, controlling his movents was nothing but advantageous to Aheng.
So, she imdiately asked a servant to bring paper and brush.
Under Qin Fu’s astonished gaze, she drew two different improved firearms’ blueprints.
Among them were short guns and long guns, which actually operated on similar principles, with the only difference being the shooting range and power.
In Ruan Mian and her aunt’s armory, they had already tested this long ago.
Seeing that she truly had a gifted mind, Qin Fu was suddenly overjoyed.
Unexpectedly expressing, "I see that Miss Ruan has quite a few ideas. Since you decided to make this transaction, I certainly will not treat you poorly."
"For every weapon blueprint you provide, I will find the appropriate people to assist you in accordance with your requirents. In order for Miss Ruan to focus on this transaction, I have found a good place and a group of people to serve you."
"When the weapons are completed, I will fulfill my promise to pay you the agreed reward."
Ruan Mian’s eyes moved slightly, "Isn’t this Lord He’s way of subtly confining ?"
Hearing this, Qin Fu quickly waved his hand, "How could it be confinent!? Miss Ruan must be mistaken, only when you go to a safe place to do this can I be at ease."
"If you want to go out, you can always have guards accompany you, and there will be no shortage of food or drink."
Seeing him smiling yet polite, Ruan Mian had already guessed his intentions.
Strictly speaking, it was a subtle way of confining her until she produced sothing useful.
Ultimately, it was because he didn’t trust her.
But Ruan Mian wasn’t afraid, her plans were still ahead and unaffected.
So she went along with his idea, "Since Lord He speaks so earnestly, I too must offer my sincerity."
"I will go to the Thunder God Temple to pay my respects tomorrow, and then I will go with you."
"Thunder God Temple?"
Qin Fu suspiciously looked at her, seemingly questioning whether she wanted to play tricks at this opportunity.
Ruan Mian laughed and explained, "Lord He may not know, it is just a personal habit."
"When creating weapons, there is no avoiding bloodshed, so every ti I must go to the temple to pray beforehand for smooth sailing afterward."
Hearing this, Qin Fu laughed out loud, "I didn’t expect Miss Ruan to believe in that sort of thing, but it doesn’t matter, whatever you say goes."
"Tomorrow, I will send so people to accompany you to ensure your safety."
Ruan Mian smiled slightly, calculating that the ti was drawing near. Just as she was about to speak, Mrs. Qin suddenly hurried over.
She looked anxious and hesitated upon seeing Ruan Mian beside Qin Fu.
But she quickly got to the point.
"Old master, Shen’er is missing! I haven’t seen him for two days! I’ve asked many people, and there’s no trace of him. You must think of sothing and send soone to find Shen’er."
Hearing this, Qin Fu’s gaze darkened, "Who knows where he’s wandered off to! Can’t even keep an eye on a child, what kind of mother are you? Now you co to , can I help you find him?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin trembled with anger.
"Shen’er is also your son! He’s gone missing, and as his father, you just ignore it?"
