So I don't know if anyone else recently had this happen, though I remember there was another thread about it. My pcs don't trust Lavinia at all so far and are sure she has to be in the know on the contents of the ship. It's going to be interesting...left off where the pcs were consulting about what to do having dealt with the ship.
It occured to me listening to the in character conversation that it is almost inevitable that there might be suspicion. Have others dealt with that, and was it resolved by her talking further of her circumstances following the retrieval of the ring?

yeah, we did (actually the GM preempted any suspicions on our part ) - Gather information rolls about the "Nixie" resulted in us hearing about strange "loading and unloading" at nighttime, and some speculation about the ship being used as a "smuggler's drop/warehouse" by someone not of the Vanderboren's family.
If the group hang about near the docks, have them eavesdrop on a conversation about a "load" (or something ) being delivered and "making sure tht nothing of it gets back to the Vanderboren chick" (the disrespect to indicate they are not actually working _for_her ).Alternatively, let them find a list aboard (or on the main goon) naming "Vanderboren employees" like the Jade Ravens, Cora etc not to be let aboard "under any circumstances"... should be a nice hint that Lavinia is not involved either.
Then again for us it certainly helped, that the warblade developed an immediate crush on Lavinia, and really started to become protective about her reputation etc...
You can work on the former, but not on the later
