She walked down the stairs with an even more perfect smile on her perfectly made-up face.
It was neither thick nor light, like a magnolia blooming on a branch in spring, with a faint and elegant fragrance.
It was clearly the same face they were familiar with, and it was also the same person they knew, but at this moment, they felt that she had changed.
Her temperament was even colder, and she was different from the usual arrogant and willful young miss.
"Father, it's getting late. You should go and rest."
"Feng Yi Lin has left the Peach Blossom Province. We can't say for sure what's going on outside. We still need you to look after the Peach Blossom Province."
Xunmi walked to Qi Kun, who was the original owner's father. She held his hand and spoke in a neither light nor heavy tone.
Everyone present could hear the faintly discernible domineering and unyielding tone.
It was also like a large rock smashing into their hearts. Indeed, the war outside was fierce. What was the use of them just moving here?
"Miss Qi, oh no, Madam Feng, I won't disturb you and Governor Qi. You can go ahead."
"Madam, Governor Qi, I'll take my leave first. If there's anything you need, just send someone to instruct me."
Soon, most of the guests had left. Even Wan Jiabao reluctantly flicked his sleeves and left.
Xunmi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. This Wan Jiabao had used a lot of tricks behind her back.
Qi Kun was a little absent-minded. Today's daughter made him seem to see his wife.
Back then, his tough wife was also like this. She was so determined that nothing would hit her. However, war was cruel.
"Father, don't think too much. It's good that we're all still here. You should be careful during this period of time. Once Feng Yilin leaves, the Peach Blossom Province will not be peaceful."
Sensing that her father's state was not right, Xunmi quickly changed the topic.
"Daughter, tell me, did the marshal say something to you? We …"
"Father, you misunderstood. I just thought of something. I chose to marry Feng Yilin so that our family would have enough reason to give military supplies to the Feng family army without being suspected."
"Father, do you really think your daughter is that stupid? It's just that the world is in chaos. I want to find a place of refuge for our Qi family."
Xunmi spoke in a righteous manner. Her face was solemn and her brows were furrowed in thought.
Since those people felt that the original owner's love was shallow, then she would make the original owner become a delicate and exquisite woman.
Qi Kun widened his eyes in shock. His hands were trembling and he was almost stuttering when he spoke. "Daughter … you … you …"
"Good, good, I finally have the face to see your mother."
Tears welled up in his eyes as if he would burst into tears in the next moment.
Xunmi hugged him gently and said in a low voice, "Father, you should restrain yourself now. Get everyone in the family to disguise themselves and dress plainly."
"It's best if you tell everyone that we spent all of the Qi family's money to raise military funds for the Feng family army."
"Show weakness to the enemy. Let the people behind me relax first. Only then can I find an opportunity to strike."
Xunmi, who had no intention of hiding, decided to play the pig to eat the tiger. First, she would let her father think that she was just pretending in the past. Now that the time was right, she would show it.
Qi Kun really followed Xunmi's thoughts. He loved his smart daughter very much.
He nodded again and again, indicating that he would do as she said.
He was upright, not pedantic.
Xunmi discussed with Qi Kun again. She was going to set up a laboratory and recruit people who understood medicine to study drugs. There were also people who understood technology and all walks of life.
Qi Kun was the senior official of Taohua Province. He might not know about other things, but he was very clear about the talents.
As soon as the two discussed, they began to work in private the next day.
At the same time, once the Qi family went out, they would wear rough clothes and complain to acquaintances when they saw them.
In less than five or six days, the entire Taohua Province knew that the Qi family's strong family property was squandered by the eldest daughter of the Qi family.
"President Wan, do you think this news is true? Then, do we still have to implement the plan later?"
A middle-aged man with a pointy mouth and monkey-like cheeks, wearing glasses and holding a tobacco pipe, said with uncertainty.
Wan Jiabao sat on the old man's chair, filling the whole chair by himself. He moved his fat body and his face was very ugly.
"I will make a decision after I ask that lord. But even if the Qi family didn't get emptied this time, they must have lost a lot of money."
"Heh … Xunmi Qi, that prodigal girl, sooner or later, I will have a taste of her."
Thinking of the person he saw today, her clothes were like fire, and her noble and reserved appearance was much more attractive than before.
The man who spoke before didn't speak again. He smoked quietly, thinking about something.
"Boom!" "Ah!" A small explosion suddenly occurred in an underground laboratory.
A mushroom cloud emerged from the innermost room, mixed with a soft scream.
Xunmi, who had just walked to the door, was delighted. The explosives had been developed.
Ignoring the gray smoke that drifted out, she hurried in. Looking at the stunned researchers around her, she calmed herself down. "Is there a result?"
Because of Xunmi's words, the stunned people instantly came back to their senses.
"Ah, ah, ah, Xunmi, we did it, we did it! There is hope for us to drive those invaders out!"
Chen Nanqing shouted excitedly at Xunmi. He hugged the equally excited person next to him, tears streaming down his face.
"Although the experiment was completed, the materials required are huge, and the probability of failure is high."
Luo Shang analyzed calmly. She took off the simple iron mask on her face, revealing a delicate and elegant face with a hint of worry.
Just this small success alone had cost them an unimaginable amount of materials.
Now, if they wanted to mass produce it, materials and manpower were a problem.
The joy in everyone's hearts disappeared instantly. Even the cleverest housewife couldn't cook without rice.
Xunmi leaned against the wall and looked at the messy experiment table in the middle of the room. Her eyes were full of thoughts.
The Qi family still had money, but it was not enough to support the purchase of large quantities of gunpowder. She also had to take care of the medicine business.
Gunpowder was a necessity on the battlefield, but in this era where only simple gunpowder balls could be made, the people who used them could easily be injured. Therefore, medicine was especially important.
"I'll buy some materials first, try to make 20, then think of a way."
Luo Shang and the others nodded solemnly. They felt the burden on their shoulders grow heavier.
But they did not regret participating in this secret mission. They were all patriots, to be able to do something for their country, to them, it was an incomparable pride.
Xunmi turned to the medicine team to check on the progress, and found that they had already developed and produced some finished products.
Although it was not much, Xunmi could not help but admire their ability. It had only been a month.
She suddenly remembered that the female lead should be at the frontlines by now. She should also send a telegram to the male lead.
When the time came, she didn't know if she would leave the supplies and a divorce letter, or the supplies and herself.
