As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

Just as Shen Lanyue had expected, it was almost noon when Meng Changce and others came out of the imperial study. During this period, different officials kept coming in and out.

The solemn look made the person in charge of the Imperial Observatory break out in a cold sweat.

Tang Hai came to his side and said in a low voice: "Sir Chen, the emperor invites you in."

Manager Chen lowered his head and propped himself up with his legs. He had been kneeling for too long and his knees could no longer bear the pressure. He was about to fall to the ground when a strong hand grabbed his wrist.

He bared his teeth and looked up: "Thank you, Marquis Changning." He then bowed and greeted the others around him, "Your Highness the Third Prince, Your Highness the Fourth Prince, Your Highness the Fifth Prince, and everyone else."

Li Wenxuan just nodded to him and left with his men.

Li Jing, however, said with his usual gentle smile: "Master Chen, please go in quickly. Father is still waiting for your reply."

"Yes." Manager Chen did not dare to delay any longer and walked in awkwardly.

"I see that you all look tired. I guess you didn't sleep last night. Let's go back first."

Zheng Chengsi spoke first: "Thank you, Your Highness. I will take my leave first."

Li Jing nodded first, and then asked everyone to leave one by one. He was indeed very kind and tolerant to his subordinates, the Fourth Prince, at least it seemed so.

During the day, all the civil and military officials realized how serious the disaster was. The situation in the capital was not very serious, and the closer to the imperial city, the less damage there was.

The worst hit were the people living in the suburbs, who were basically all affected by the earthquake. Even more serious was that a village upstream was buried by flowing rocks from the mountain overnight.

Other places also suffered heavy losses of varying sizes. The refugees gathered together and soon came to the capital. For the safety of the people in the capital, the Jingzhao Division specially sent people to patrol the streets.

This made some restless people become cautious and stop wandering around.

When Emperor Yingde received the news of the disaster, his face turned dark. He immediately ordered several princes and ministers to provide relief to the victims and comfort them.

In addition, the Imperial Observatory had informed the emperor several hours in advance, so Emperor Yingde was prepared. However, the number of disaster-stricken people he received now was greater than he had expected.

There is still enough time. A few hours would not be enough time to evacuate.

Shen Lanyue was informed of all the happenings in the capital through the news that she had received from Fanfan. The Changning Marquisate also received concern from the royal family at the same time. Shen Lanyue replied to her father-in-law that there was nothing serious in the mansion, except that a young girl had passed away.

After receiving the silver, the father-in-law went to the next house with a smile.

Shen Lanyue listened to the discussions among the servants and roughly guessed what they were talking about.

They probably saw the disaster victims outside, and in Shen Lanyue's memory, the last time the disaster affected at least tens of thousands of people.

The people entering the city now are the people from the nearby capital, and those who will come in after a while will be the refugees who have been truly severely affected by the disaster.

"Madam, the young master sent someone to ask about your situation." Shen Lanyue was interrupted by Fanfan's words, and she was a little surprised.

"How did you respond?"

"I dare not say much, I just want to say that Madam is doing well."

Shen Lanyue nodded. Fanfan had been following her for a long time and had become more and more adept at handling things.

"Nothing should have happened in the Shen Mansion."

"No, the young master was also worried that the lady would come to ask about it, so he specifically explained that everything was fine at home."

What surprised Shen Lanyue just now was that Shen Zian would actually send someone to show concern for her. You know, the relationship between the two of them was also good in their previous life.

However, Shen Zian did not show such special concern for his elder sister.

It seems that the last time I helped him, I left a great favor in his heart.

From the memory of the previous life, there were indeed no important casualties in the Shen Mansion, only a few maids and servants suffered minor injuries.

…………

Since Emperor Yingde specifically ordered the prince to supervise the work, officials in the capital did not dare to be lazy.

The refugees in the capital city were all given places to stay, which improved the reputation of the royal family to a certain extent.

Just when officials from top to bottom were extremely happy, the common people who had finally arrived near the capital were quietly approaching.

They had experienced disaster and then hunger, and were in a very irritable and resentful moment.

Changning Marquis Mansion at the same time

Shen Lanyue frowned and looked at the account book in her hand: "There has been no consumption of vegetables in the mansion for several days in a row."

The housekeeper standing aside with his head bowed smiled awkwardly and said, "Madam, it's true that the merchant that we have been cooperating with for a long time has not provided us with fresh vegetables for a long time."

"I heard that his vegetable farmers are near the capital, and they all suffered heavy losses in this disaster."

Shen Lanyue's eyes flashed slightly and she suppressed the thoughts in her mind.

"I know, let's go down first."

"Yes." The butler carefully took the account book and left.

"Ma'am, is there a problem?"

Fanfan looked at his master who had a worried look on his face, and after some thought, he asked about his inner doubts.

"It's nothing serious. Please ask people to pay more attention to the activities of the Shen Mansion recently."

After staying with Shen Lanyue for a long time after her rebirth, Fanfan could understand from her general meaning that she really didn't want him to ask too many questions.

Although he was puzzled, he nodded to show that he understood.

Meng Changce and Li Jing have been busy recently resettling the people after the earthquake. They are often so busy that they have to rest outside, leaving all matters in the mansion to Shen Lanyue to handle.

"I believe that Madam will be able to arrange everything, and I will just be a salted fish."

At that time, Shen Lanyue heard him smiling and lightly saying such a shameless sentence.

She also wanted to reply to him with two words: Haha

The two of them got along very harmoniously in Marquis Changning's mansion and could even joke with each other.

And then, large numbers of resentful refugees appeared in the capital.

Many Beijing residents were shocked to find that some local officials had failed to implement the policy properly.

There was a lot of discussion in the capital for a while, and rumors began to spread that Emperor Yingde's succession to the throne was not legitimate.

"I heard that our emperor killed his brothers to ascend the throne."

"I'm afraid that this time the dragon's rebellion is so serious that it means God is dissatisfied with him, which is why we ordinary people are implicated."

"........."

Emperor Yingde was very angry and sent Li Wenxuan to the place where the refugees were to investigate the truth of the matter.

At the same time, he passed the rumors in the capital to the eldest son of the Xu family.

Amidst such a great turmoil, there was also a very interesting thing happening in the capital. The second young lady of the Shen family had been distributing porridge in the city these days.

It is also said that the source of the porridge stall was the food that Shen Wanqing, the second daughter of the Shen family, bought by selling her jewelry.

Her reputation took a 120-degree turn just a moment ago.
