Fanfan was startled by her and asked in confusion, "Madam?" It seemed like the first time she saw Shen Lanyue's expression like this, and her brows were furrowed at that moment.

"What time is it now!"

"Ah? It's not yet midnight."

Shen Lanyue: "No, I said today is the ninth day of the third month of the twenty-fifth year of Yingde, right?"

Fanfan looked at Shen Lanyue's appearance, frowned, and his eyes were full of worry: "Madam, today is indeed the ninth day of March, is it a special day?"

But I generally remember that neither the Marquis nor his wife’s birthday was today, and my mother did not pass away during this period. It was clearly an ordinary day.

Of course it was not a special day. Shen Lanyue's eyes were blank for a few seconds, because in her previous life, a huge event would happen in the capital tomorrow.

The earth was turned over, and thousands of people around the capital were affected. Even in the palace, there were casualties. The most important thing was that this happened suddenly in the middle of the night.

Moreover, the Imperial Observatory did not detect any signs, which left the royal family without any protective measures.

"You go and invite..." Shen Lanyue immediately wanted to ask Fanfan to call Meng Changce back, but the words stopped on her lips.

How could she tell that a big earthquake would happen tonight?

With Meng Changce's intelligence, he would definitely wonder how he knew this, because this was something that even the Imperial Observatory had not discovered. Rebirth was a magical and strange thing, and it was also his biggest secret.

She is not able to tell Meng Changce about this right now.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

Shen Lanyue frowned and said, "Call the housekeeper and the nanny in the mansion and tell them that I have something to tell you."

"And please come to me as soon as the Marquis returns."

Fanfan nodded. "Yes, I'll go right away."

Shen Lanyue looked in the direction where Fanfan had left and pondered for a while. Now she couldn't tell Meng Changce about this directly, but she had to minimize the damage in the mansion.

There are only a few hours left before the earth dragon turns over. Even if I tell Meng Changce now, it will not have any effect. I can only wait for Meng Changce to come back and guide him about these abnormalities.

The most important point is that Meng Changce knew about these things. After entering the palace, he had to appeal to Emperor Yingde first. Then the emperor would ask the Imperial Observatory and others to report back. It would be too late for the debate and implementation to be completed.

"Madam, did you ask me to wait for you again? Did you do something wrong and make me wait for you?"

The housekeeper beside her said with a "Pah" sound: "We have handled all the matters in the front yard in a proper manner. I am afraid that the matters in your back yard have made Madam worried."

"Oh, everyone knows what kind of people are in your front yard."

"What happened to our front yard!"

Fan Fan was enduring the pressure from the person behind him, and the veins on his head were popping.

"Okay, the Madam hasn't said anything yet, and you're already arguing here. Why do you usually just give the Madam a perfunctory response?"

The housekeeper and the nanny who were following behind immediately stopped talking and dared not speak anymore. Even when they were angry, their expressionless faces still looked a bit scary.

He glanced at them quietly for a few seconds and continued walking forward.

The people behind all lowered their heads in embarrassment, not daring to say anything this time. After all, Fanfan was the most capable servant of Marquis Changning's wife, and she was brought up by the family, so they naturally did not dare to offend her easily.

By the time all these people arrived in the yard, Shen Lanyue had been sitting and waiting for a while.

"Your servant, I pay my respects to the Madam." Everyone bowed one by one.

Shen Lanyue raised her eyes slightly, looked at the few people and replied calmly, "Get up."

"Yes."

After waking up, he walked over to stand beside Shen Lanyue and didn't say anything after that.

The people below secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Fanfan would tell Shen Lanyue what happened to them on the road.

Shen Lanyue saw their expressions clearly, guessed something in her mind, and looked at them calmly for a few seconds.

"How much food is left in the mansion? Are the vegetables from the kitchen delivered to the courtyard every day or only once every few days?"

The butler was startled, thinking that something had gone wrong in the kitchen. He was so scared that he broke out in a sweat and quickly knelt down to answer.

"Madam, the food for the mansion was just purchased recently. It's still the same old one, and the servants haven't changed."

"All the dishes are delivered today. The dishes that the masters like are delivered today. The pumpkins that are easy to preserve are delivered every five days and were also delivered yesterday."

The old butler knelt on the ground and answered tremblingly, not daring to hide anything.

Shen Lanyue's eyes flashed, and she roughly guessed that it seemed that there was enough food in the mansion.

"Well, get up."

"Yes." The old butler slowly stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Shen Lanyue stood up and said to the others with a calm expression, "I have been feeling somewhat uneasy lately. Today, I saw some unusual phenomena in the mansion, and I am afraid something is going to happen."

One of the maids frowned a few times, then stepped forward and asked carefully, "Madam, I have noticed that the cats and dogs raised by the girls in the backyard have been unusually agitated these past two days. Even the bird that the Marquis loves always wants to fly away."

The nanny secretly glanced at Shen Lanyue who asked her to continue and said, "I saw such a scene when I was a child, and then..."

Shen Lanyue cast her gaze on this nanny and narrowed her eyes slightly.

It seems that this nanny has experienced such a big event before, which gives her a good excuse for her behavior.

"But it doesn't matter."

After receiving the answer, the nanny relaxed her brows and said, "It was... the earth and sky shook, and then the houses collapsed, and there were casualties everywhere."

Matron's words made everyone present change color and become a little agitated.

Shen Lanyue looked at the restless people with displeasure and looked at the maids coldly.

A cold gaze swept over them, immediately making them calm down and dare not move.

"It's not certain since the Imperial Observatory hasn't given any information, but what Nanny said does make some sense." Shen Lanyue's tone and expression were calm, which gave confidence to those present.

Yes, no news has been sent out from the palace.

Shen Lanyue changed the subject again, and said in a serious and somewhat cold tone: "But it is right to put up defenses. Madam Yu, please tell the maids in the mansion not to sleep too deeply in the next few nights and take good care of the masters."

Nanny Yu stepped forward and bowed her head, "Yes, ma'am."

"Butler, the people in the front yard too. Do the others understand?"

"Yes, slave, I understand."

Shen Lanyue paused for a moment and said, "Once this news gets out of this courtyard, it will be choked in my stomach. If other people know about it and make people panic, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The others looked at Shen Lanyue, and were involuntarily shocked by the invisible aura she exuded. When her gaze swept over each of them, it was filled with the solemn and murderous intent of a true superior.
