Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 419 - 349: At Least... I Was Once Your Uncle

Cui Zhu and herself both could become her soft spots. How could someone as cunning as Qin Fu not know that?

The key now was to settle people properly while he was still unaware.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiu said no more and nodded in agreement with Ruan Mian’s words.

But Yun Xiu would not be around for the next few days, so she might need to see his elder brother.

So she had Yun Xiu give her a token of trust.

The next day, after Yun Xiu sent Cui Zhu away, Qin Fu came to visit Ruan Mian.

He merely wanted to find out if she still had anything else in her possession. Ruan Mian fulfilled his wish, as she had already taken out a portable grenade from her space.

Of course, it wasn’t that modern. It had been improved with her aunt, intended to be refined; it could be thrown to explode after pulling the fuse.

Although its power wasn’t as great as firearms at close range, it was much more portable than a firearm.

Before the enemy could react, the grenade would be thrown, and they would fall down.

It was far superior to ordinary gunpowder.

Qin Fu’s eyes sparkled on the spot.

He felt as if he had found a treasure, seeming to already think that if he could recruit this woman under his command and make her bring out more good things to offer to King Yan, by the day of uprising, wouldn’t his glorious wealth for the rest of his life be set?

Thinking of this, he became even more amicable with Ruan Mian.

However, his words still carried vigilance and threats, as Ruan Mian’s injured sister was about to leave the residence without his knowledge.

Now there was nothing left to leverage against her.

He had to think of another way to put her in a difficult position.

"Miss Ruan indeed wasn’t lying; she does have some things on her."

"I wonder if Miss Ruan has any intention to sell these weapons? I’m very interested. I am sincere in collaborating with you. We can disregard past events as if they never happened."

Ruan Mian found the words quite laughable.

"Disregard? You give me too much credit, my lord. I am but a petty person who cannot tolerate sand in my eyes. You are highly esteemed, and there is no grievance between us. But there is one person I must hold accountable."

Qin Fu’s brows slightly shifted, as if realizing something.

Before he could speak, Ruan Mian decisively continued, "I wonder if Lord Qin still remembers Wen Qiang?"

"To be frank, there is a grievance between Wen Qiang and me. I must settle this matter before I have the heart to discuss cooperation with you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Fu furrowed his brow, responding politely, "Miss Ruan, Wen Qiang is a high-spirited youth. I have heard a bit about the incident between you two, but it’s been so long. Can you not let it go?"

"As long as I’m here, Wen Qiang will never trouble you again, nor will she appear before you, how about that?"

"My lord, as I said, I’m merely a petty person, narrow-minded, so I must refuse."

"But I do not wish to make things difficult for you, this is a grievance between Wen Qiang and me. We will naturally resolve it, though I ask you to be patient for some time."

Qin Fu’s gaze slightly darkened; he couldn’t wait.

How could he pass up any chance to persuade Ruan Mian?

Thinking of this, he suddenly changed his attitude, "I understand now."

But he did not make it explicit.

Instead, as night fell, he sent someone to deliver an invitation to Ruan Mian.

It was for the Flower Boat Meeting two days later.

He wanted to invite her to join in the festivities.

Reading the invitation, Ruan Mian gladly agreed to go.

This Flower Boat Meeting was even more luxurious than the previous restaurant gathering she had seen.

Several beautifully decorated flower boats slowly approached on the water, reflecting the flickering lights on the water. Gentle strains of pipa music drifted from the bow of each boat.

Occasionally, there were also sounds of songs and dances. It was indeed a spectacular and enchanting sight.
