Five days later, under Shen Danru's meticulous care, Shen Shi's depleted body quickly recovered.
The day after he woke up, they had already returned to the mansion on the border where Shen Shi had been.
When Shen Shi realized that he had fainted because of poisoning, he was quite surprised.
He never imagined that someone would do such a cruel thing to him.
Who exactly is this person?
To his even greater surprise, his granddaughter was a medical expert, even surpassing renowned doctors in the military.
He instructed Shen Danru to keep this matter a secret and decided to investigate the truth in secret.
As for Prefect Sun and his physician, there is no conclusive evidence to prove their crimes, so they can only be released temporarily.
Shen Shi had his own residence in Fengyang City, but he rarely lived there on weekdays.
Although he had people to take care of him at home, he would always think of his wife and son, so whenever he was on the border, he would choose to live in the military camp.
Now that his granddaughter has come to visit, he has decided to move into the mansion.
Now, Shen Danru personally cooks for him every day and takes meticulous care of his health.
Seeing his granddaughter being so considerate filled Shen Shi with happiness.
Shen Danru's cooking skills suited his taste perfectly, making him feel that the food he had eaten before was like pig swill.
While taking care of her grandfather, Shen Danru also wanted to give him a surprise.
That day, she brought Qingtan, Yuanbiao, and Yuanying to a desolate place outside the city.
She also instructed several people to lift a mysterious box onto the carriage.
The box was tightly covered, and no one knew what was inside.
Yuan Ying couldn't help but ask, "Miss, why did we come to this desolate place? It's freezing cold here. Your health is important. Let's go back."
Yuen Biao agreed with Yuen Ying's words and glanced at Shen Danru: "Yes, Miss, your safety is the most important thing."
Only Qingtan remained silent. She understood Shen Danru; her mistress had her reasons for bringing them here.
She asked Shen Danru, "What are your orders, Miss?"
"You can carry the boxes down here."
Qingtan replied, "Okay."
Yuen Biao and Yuen Ying exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Okay."
The box isn't heavy; it only takes two people to carry it.
So, Yuan Ying and Yuan Biao worked together to lift the box down.
Shen Danru took out a dark, round object from the box and instructed the three people behind her, "Wait here and do not follow us."
Qingtan immediately understood that the object in Chen Danru's hand was a thunderbolt that her young mistress had recently developed, and she wanted to test its power.
She said, "Okay, miss, please be careful."
But Yuan Ying and Yuan Biao didn't know what she was holding and were somewhat uneasy.
The leader repeatedly instructed them to ensure the young lady's safety, otherwise they would have difficulty explaining themselves.
Yuen Biao said, "Miss, please tell me what you need me to do."
After a moment's thought, Shen Danru said, "Alright, Yuen Biao is an expert, we can let him handle it."
So she taught Yuen Biao how to use the Thunderclap Bomb and reminded him of some precautions.
Yuen Biao patted his chest confidently and assured Shen Danru, "Miss, don't worry, I know how to use it."
Holding the thunderbolt, he aimed at a boulder in the open space, following the method taught by Shen Danru, and hurled it.
He then quickly retreated several meters.
With a deafening roar, the boulder instantly shattered into countless fragments, and a huge crater was blasted into the surrounding land.
Yuen Biao was jolted back several steps by the shockwave of the explosion, his eyes wide with shock.
What just happened?
He threw the thunderbolt as instructed by the young lady, but he never expected that the power of this thing would be so amazing.
Yuen Biao exclaimed, "Miss, the power of this thunderbolt is beyond imagination. I have never seen such a powerful weapon before."
Shen Danru nodded, his expression serious, and said, "Indeed, the power of the thunderbolt is so astonishing. Someone will find this place soon. We should leave as soon as possible."
Even she herself did not expect that the power of the thunderbolt would be so great.
The other three nodded in agreement with Shen Danru's words.
They quickly loaded the goods onto the carriage and hurried away.
The loud noise sent panic through the entire city of Fengyang, with everyone speculating about what had happened.
No sooner had the four left than someone found this place.
"Look, what is this thing that is so powerful that it can flatten a huge rock?"
"I've heard that the Dongyue Kingdom has incredibly powerful firearms, but it's just a legend, and no one has ever seen one."
"This is just hearsay. If Dongyue Kingdom really had such powerful firearms, it would have used them long ago. Why hasn't it been used yet?"
"Could it be that the people from Dongyue Kingdom threw firearms here? They haven't gone far yet. Let's give chase. There will be a big reward if we catch their master."
The group quickly gave chase.
Soon after, another group of people arrived at the scene, and they were equally shocked.
Like the previous group, they also caught up.
At this moment, Shen Danru, Qingtan, and Yuan Ying were sitting in a carriage, with Yuan Biao driving it.
Yuan Ying said, "Master, this thunderbolt is truly powerful. If it were used on the battlefield, it would surely strike fear into the hearts of enemy nations."
Shen Danru nodded: "It's best to use this kind of thing sparingly. As long as the enemy country doesn't invade our country, we don't need to use it to hurt people. If the enemy country insists on seeking its own death, then don't blame us for being ruthless."
Yuen Biao, Yuen Ying, and Ching Tan also agreed with Shen Danru's point of view.
I will not attack unless attacked. If attacked, I will punish them.
Upon returning to the mansion, Shen Danru went to her grandfather's room, only to find him absent.
Only after asking the servants did I learn that my grandfather had gone to the front hall to discuss military affairs.
Thinking of her grandfather's injuries not yet fully healed, yet he still had to worry about matters in the military camp, Shen Danru felt both heartache and helplessness.
So she went to cook for her grandfather first.
When Shen Danru returned with the prepared food, she found that her grandfather had already come back.
He sat there with a worried expression, as if he were thinking about something important.
She stepped forward and couldn't help but ask, "Grandfather, what happened?"
When Shen Shi saw Shen Danru, he finally smiled.
Not wanting his granddaughter to suffer along with him, he said, "Ru'er, let's go eat first."
"good."
Seeing that her grandfather didn't want to talk to her, Shen Danru had no choice but to finish her meal first.
"Grandfather, I have something good to show you after dinner."
"good."
After the meal, Yuen Biao and Yuen Ying carried in the box containing the grenades.
Shen Shi was curious to know what was in the box. Could this be the gift Ru'er had mentioned for him?
Shen Danru stepped forward and opened the box herself.
When Shen Shi saw the contents of the box, an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes: "Ru'er, is this... is this a firearm?"
