Chapter 356: Late but Arrived
Although the workshop exploded, Jiang Tangtang looked at some of the materials that had been processed in the workshop and found that although the machine exploded, the direction was correct.
This news cheered up Cao Lesheng, who had been devastated. He stayed in the workshop day and night to study the cause of the explosion and how to improve it.
Jiang Tangtang also wanted to help, but she was not very good at making machines.
Lu Shiyan is better than her at mechanical manufacturing.
Jiang Tangtang asked Gugu to deliver a letter to Lu Shiyan, detailing what happened in the workshop.
Lu Shiyan had been reading books from Jiang Tangtang's bookstore these days. Besides asking Jiang Tangtang for help when he encountered words he didn't understand, he had also learned how to use a DVD player.
In addition to the short film that caused her to fail, Jiang Tangtang's home also has many science documentaries.
He is very interested in all kinds of modern technologies, and he hopes that one day he can change this land and make it as good as the world Jiang Tangtang once lived in.
After hearing about the explosion in the oil processing workshop, he rode his Gugu back to Taiwan that night.
Lu Shiyan didn't go home, but went directly to the oil workshop.
The explosion destroyed the entire workshop, forcing it to be rebuilt. Fortunately, safety was a key consideration when the workshop was built; there were no villagers living nearby, and it was a safe distance from the mine.
There is a lot to do.
It was already midnight when Lu Shiyan came back, but no one was asleep yet. After Lu Shiyan came back, he did not take time to rest. Instead, he went to study with Cao Lesheng the cause of the explosion in the workshop and how the new machine should be improved to avoid the original defects.
Seeing that everyone was full of energy, Jiang Tangtang went to make some midnight snacks to cheer everyone up.
The kitchen of the workshop was also destroyed by the explosion, and the shed had not yet been built. Everyone had to make dinner using the iron pots rescued from the workshop.
Jiang Tangtang didn't want to cheat by using the kitchen in such an environment, so she made the simplest noodle dumpling soup.
Although it was just a simple noodle dumpling soup, Jiang Tangtang secretly added spiritual spring water and spices produced in the space, so the taste was very fragrant.
After the midnight snack, everyone was more motivated and worked all night long.
Everyone else was fine, but Jiang Tangtang was worried that Cao Lesheng's age wouldn't allow him to cope. But after discussing this with Lu Shiyan last night, Cao Lesheng had a lot of new ideas. He couldn't sleep at all, his mind racing with thoughts of how to improve the machine.
Jiang Tangtang couldn't persuade him, so she found a reason and rewarded him with many things. Most of these things were rice, tea and other things from the space.
She hopes that talents like Cao Lesheng can be in better health.
When Meng, the third daughter-in-law of the Cao family, saw the reward Jiang Tangtang had sent, she grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Isn't Madam Lu too stingy? Who would give out rewards and grain?"
"Then what else do you want?" Mrs. Cao looked at her troublesome daughter-in-law with a cold face.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was finished, and it was only a matter of time before the Lu family took the throne. And Jiang Tangtang was the future Empress.
This ignorant thing actually dared to be dissatisfied with the reward. Such a woman would sooner or later bring disaster to the Cao family.
"Mom, I don't want anything."
Cao Meng thought about what she had recently heard about Jiang Tangtang's pearl farm on the island, which could yield a lot of pearls. She bravely said, "I just think that in the past, when my father-in-law made contributions, the emperor always rewarded him with jewels. Madam Lu clearly has so many pearls, but she didn't reward him with anything but grain... She's just too stingy."
Seeing her mother-in-law's face growing darker, Han, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cao family, hurriedly said, "I think grain is more precious than pearls. No matter how precious jewels are, they can't be eaten. There was a drought this year. If we hadn't come to Lingnan and my father-in-law hadn't received that good job, my family would have starved to death long ago."
Mrs. Cao was slightly satisfied. Her eldest daughter-in-law was quite sensible. Unlike the other two, who were just troublemakers.
Cao Meng cursed him in her heart as a flatterer.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want it. It just so happens that you don't have a share of this thing. This is a reward from Mrs. Lu to your father-in-law." Mrs. Cao called the servant over and put Jiang Tangtang's reward for today away separately.
Cao Meng pursed her lips inwardly, secretly cursing her mother-in-law for being stingy. It was just a reward of grain, yet she had to keep it separate.
She twisted her slender waist, full of resentment.
Little did they know that disaster was about to happen.
Lu Shiyan always felt that Xiao Ye's behavior was very strange. He tried to capture Jiang Tangtang again and again. It didn't seem like he was simply trying to capture Jiang Tangtang to threaten him. Instead, it seemed like he had discovered something, so he targeted Jiang Tangtang and tried to capture her again and again.
Especially the last time we sent troops, the purpose was even more obvious.
Although Xiao Ye was dead, the interrogation of his confidants never stopped. The latest news from the interrogation was that someone had passed on information to him about the pills Cao Lesheng had taken.
Lu Shiyan believed that Cao Lesheng would never take the initiative to reveal the matter of the pills to others, and the person who would reveal it might be Cao's family.
This matter could have been handed over to his subordinates, but since it involved Jiang Tangtang, he didn't dare to be careless, so he decided to investigate it himself.
It just so happened that he had recently been discussing the improvement of the oil fractionator with Cao Lesheng, which was convenient for him.
Soon, Lu Shiyan discovered that Xiao Ye had gotten the information from the Meng family. Besides the pill incident, she had also leaked a lot of information using the Cao Mansion as a cover.
After Lu Shiyan found out the truth, he gave Xie Xin an order to lead his troops to capture her.
After Cao Meng was arrested, she immediately panicked.
She had always resented her father-in-law's decision and felt that coming to Lingnan was a mistake. She felt that only in the capital could one be considered an aristocrat.
So when I later contacted Xiao Ye's people, I felt that I had hit the jackpot.
When she returns to the capital in the future, she will become the newest powerful person in the capital, and the Cao family will reach an unprecedented height because of her. Then the entire Cao family will thank her.
But she didn't expect that Xiao Ye, whom she was more optimistic about, would die.
When Xiao Ye first died, she was worried for a while, but when she saw that nothing had happened, she felt relieved, thinking that the matter had been buried with Ye's death.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ye had been dead for so long, but Lu Shiyan had not given up the investigation. This was something she had never expected.
"General Lu, what happened?"
The sudden arrival of so many soldiers and the arrest of Meng made Mrs. Cao very upset. Although she didn't like her daughter-in-law and didn't care about her life or death, she was worried that she had committed something that would affect the Cao family.
Xie Xin bowed towards her and said, "Your third daughter-in-law, Cao Meng, is a spy. We need to take her back for questioning. But don't worry, Madam Cao. If it turns out that she's the only spy, the Cao family won't be implicated."
