In addition to feeling uneasy, Shen Lanyue also paid attention to carefully observing the surrounding environment. Apart from the previous strong vibration, there was no damage to the walls everywhere.

In Shen Lanyue's memory, the disaster in her previous life was extremely serious, so she immediately calmed down and gave orders.

She called the maids and servants in her courtyard to her side and said, "Now call the housekeeper and the maids from all over to come to me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Within a few minutes, the maids and housekeepers from the daytime came over. Perhaps their own people had not yet gone to look for them, but these people came to their courtyard as soon as possible.

Shen Lanyue could read their emotions from their wandering and frightened eyes at a glance. She did not say it directly, but looked at them from a high place on a chair that she had found.

Now that Meng Changce is not in the mansion, and this is such a big matter, Shen Lanyue cannot show any timidity. She is the mistress of the house, and she must handle everything calmly.

"Get up and see what the situation is like everywhere."

"Madam, we followed your instructions and told the maids not to sleep and to stand outside the masters' rooms."

Shen Lanyue gave the nanny a satisfied look.

"Yes, I have arranged it, and there is no personnel problem in the front yard." said the butler.

"Very good." Although Shen Lanyue's words were serious, a hint of happiness could be heard. "But... we don't know if it's over yet. When you return to your courtyard, tell them that it was my order for the other masters to rest in the courtyard tonight and not to return to their rooms."

"This……"

Shen Lanyue immediately noticed the nanny who spoke. She remembered that this was the nanny who took care of the young girl.

"Why, do you have any objection?"

Shen Lanyue looked straight at her, and her words were icy cold.

The nanny was shocked all over. She realized that Shen Lanyue was not really asking, but warning her.

"I dare not, but the girl in the courtyard is the master. The cold wind in this spring is biting, and I really don't know if I can persuade her to stop." She said in a trembling voice.

"Heh." Shen Lanyue sneered: "This is an order, not a negotiation with you. Since you don't have the ability to persuade the master, there is no need for you to stay in Changning Marquis' Mansion."

The nanny was so frightened by her words that she immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Shen Lanyue narrowed her eyes slightly, not looking at her, and then asked the others: "Any other questions?"

"Your servant will do it right away." They answered in unison and then retreated one by one.

The nanny who was still kneeling on the ground did not move.

"Why do you want me to punish you now?"

"I dare not. I will go right away." She kowtowed and stood up, then ran out under Shen Lanyue's indifferent gaze.

Only after everyone left did Shen Lanyue silently breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he couldn't help but worry about Meng Changce's current situation. Why hasn't he appeared in the mansion yet? Is there an accident?

After thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh at myself: He has special people around him, so there is really no need to worry.

Shen Lanyue also asked Fanfan to tell the others to take out all the quilts and warm things in the house, and to protect themselves well and not to worry about themselves.

After all, she didn't know how many times the earth dragon would turn over tonight.

After an unknown amount of time, when Shen Lanyue was about to fall asleep in Fanfan's arms, her eyelids suddenly twitched and a sense of danger surged in her heart.

The ground was no longer shaking as it did at the beginning, but was shaking in a large arc. Shen Lanyue hugged Fanfan and squatted on the ground. She felt that it was impossible for a person to stand on the ground. In her ears, she could hear the sound of fierce wind and loud cracking sounds.

In just a moment, Shen Lanyue saw the wall not far away begin to crack, and the house seemed to shake violently, with tiles falling everywhere. The crisp sound, along with the shouting from the outer courtyard, was like a nightmare.

Shen Lanyue squatted on the ground holding Fanfan in her arms, and the servants around her followed their example and hugged each other tightly.

Maybe it was more than ten minutes, or maybe it was a long time, Shen Lanyue couldn't remember clearly, until her legs became numb and the earthquake passed.

What she heard was shrill cries, and what she saw was a messy courtyard with red lanterns everywhere.

Shen Lanyue did not dare to show any vulnerability or fear. She lowered her eyes and hid her emotions. After making sure she was safe, she looked at the shivering people around her, and a moment of heartache passed by her eyes.

She coughed softly and said to the others in the yard, "Are you all right?"

"Slave, I'm fine."

Shen Lanyue nodded, "Let's go check everywhere in the mansion to see if there are any casualties."

"Yes."

Even though they were still trembling with fear, as servants, they had to obey their master's orders.

Shen Lanyue looked at the back of the person who walked out carefully, and her eyes darkened.

She deliberately let them do it this way, otherwise they would continue to be in panic, and she knew that there would be no shock after this one.

Of course, they are now close to the center of the capital, so the situation is not that serious, but it is a devastating blow to ordinary people living around the capital.

The sky was getting darker and darker, but Shen Lanyue could see lights on everywhere in the mansion. The strong earthquake woke up the surrounding neighbors, and some of the noise outside also reached Shen Lanyue's ears.

Suddenly she heard a sound of rapid running. Shen Lanyue's eyes flashed and she held on to the armchair tightly.

"lady!"

The housekeeper ran to Shen Lanyue breathlessly and stopped to say, "Madam Yu sent a message that Yu Xiaoniang in the backyard has passed away."

Shen Lanyue frowned and looked at him unhappily.

"what happened?"

"Madame Yu said that Yu Xiaoniang refused to listen to the maids' advice and insisted on going back to her room to sleep. She even locked the door and refused to let the maid in. When the dragon rolled over, Yu Xiaoniang was trapped in the room."

Shen Lanyue was stunned and frowned slightly.

Yu Xiaoniang was sent by the Meng family. She was the one whose appearance was destroyed because she acted like a show and ignored the affairs of the mansion last time. Since then, Meng Changce has never visited her again, and she herself would beat and scold the servants at any time, and harass other Xiaoniang all day long.

Meng Changce then sent her to a remote courtyard and let her live alone.

"Ask Madam Yu to keep an eye on her personal maid. I will handle this matter once everything is settled."

One thing Shen Lanyue couldn't help but doubt was whether Yu Xiaoniang was really that stupid or was being hinted by someone.

"Yes."

After Shen Lanyue gave instructions to the servant who came to report, she looked up and saw someone running towards her. His steps were so fast that she was hugged before she could react.
