Xu looked at Ye Qingyu with some apology. She was so shocked that she told her what happened. Although she still couldn't believe that Qingyu knew about the snowstorm a long time ago, she was also curious.

Ye Qingyu sighed and looked at Gu Huaizhi, "Third cousin, if I tell you about my dream, can you believe me?"

Gu Huaizhi frowned and looked at her intently, "You mean you dreamed of a flood or snowstorm? And you believed it?"

Ye Qingyu nodded calmly, "I know my third cousin doesn't believe what I said, but I'm telling the truth. A month ago, I dreamed about this snowstorm, and it was a nightmare that lasted for three consecutive days.

Ye Qingyu closed her eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice, "In the dream, countless people froze to death or starved to death. Even in Kyoto, many people froze to death. Fights broke out over food. It was like hell. I had this dream every day for three days."

Gu Huaizhi looked at her in surprise.

Ye Qingyu went on, "I didn't believe it myself, but I always felt uneasy, so I decided to believe it instead. I stockpiled some food, fodder, and charcoal, and told my third aunt to stockpile some as well. I didn't expect that my dream would actually come true." Ye Qingyu sighed.

Several people looked at her in shock.

Telling others about something like a dream is indeed not convincing. Even if she tells it, no one will believe her and people will accuse her of spreading rumors and misleading the public.

Gu Huaizhi sighed with regret. If his cousin had told him that there would be a flood in the south of the Yangtze River and heavy snow in the north in a month, would he have believed it? He probably wouldn't have believed it.

Knowing that they were all busy, Ye Qingyu left the Duke's Mansion after breakfast.

As soon as I returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Nianchun came to greet me.

"Miss, Uncle Fu has come to the mansion several times to look for you. Judging from his expression, it seems that something big has happened."

Ye Qingyu hummed lightly, "Go and tell Uncle Fu to come over."

Nianchun hurried out.

Ye Qingyu naturally knew why Uncle Fu came, and Wanqiu could also guess it, and couldn't help but sigh, "Miss, you dreamed of such a major flood and snowstorm this time, and you stockpiled so much food in advance. Will it be discovered by someone with ulterior motives?"

Ye Qingyu picked up the teacup and took a sip. "It's okay. Even if they find out, it's fine. I won't use these grains to exchange for money. I will use them for the people affected by the disaster."

"Miss, there is some progress in the matter you asked me to investigate." Mo Shu walked in quickly from outside.

"Oh, tell me quickly." Ye Qingyu's eyes lit up.

"I've found out that Princess Yongjia visited the Zhao household the day before Miss Zhao's coming-of-age ceremony. Zhao Qianmei's personal maid met Princess Yongjia's maid at the back door. I've kidnapped Xia Wanyue and interrogated her. She was also seduced into conspiring with that person to murder the Fourth Young Master. After arriving in Kyoto, someone close to Princess Yongjia contacted her."

Ye Qingyu's expression gradually grew colder. "Princess Yongjia?"

She thought it would be Princess Changping who would take action against the people from the Duke's Mansion, but unexpectedly, it was an unmarried girl. Was she doing this to vent her mother's anger, or was there another reason?

Ye Qingyu pondered quietly for a moment, her expression cold and intimidating. No matter why Princess Yongjia attacked the people from the Duke's Mansion, if she didn't have the memory of her past life, she would still have succeeded in this life, and her third and fourth cousins ​​would still have been miserably harmed by her.

No matter why she did this, she would not let her go!

Princess Yongjia? She remembered that in her previous life she married the Fifth Prince, who was instigated by Shen Mingxiu to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate. She should have been given poisoned wine and sentenced to death. Shen Mingxiu used some method to spare her from the death penalty and return to the Princess Mansion. After that, the Princess Mansion stood on Shen Mingxiu's side.

I think Shen Mingxiu was after General Cui's military power, but he still overestimated the position of the eldest princess and her son in General Cui's heart. Even with these two mother and daughter, General Cui still did not stand behind Shen Mingxiu and still ignored Shen Mingxiu. In his previous life, General Cui returned to Beijing to report on his work, but he fell ill and eventually died of illness. After his death, the military power fell into the hands of Shen Mingxiu's people. It seems that General Cui's death was not simple.

Mo Shu looked at the young lady who was looking out the window, and didn't say anything for a long time, "Miss?"

Ye Qingyu came back to her senses and retracted her gaze, "Got it, have someone keep an eye on Princess Yongjia."

"The servant understands."

Mo Shu retreated and just passed by Uncle Fu who was rushing over.

"Miss, you are back. Something big has happened!"

Ye Qingyu chuckled, "I know, Uncle Fu, please sit down and have some tea first. There's no need to rush."

Seeing Ye Qingyu so calm, his anxiety slowly subsided. "Miss, have you heard about it?"

"Well, I heard it from my grandfather at the Duke's Mansion."

Uncle Fu sighed, "Ah, young lady, you are truly foresighted. I never thought that the grain and charcoal you asked me to stockpile would actually be stockpiled. I just passed by the grain store and saw the price of grain go up. Alas, the news hasn't spread yet. If the people knew about it, I wonder how much the price of grain would rise."

"You're really going to make a fortune with all that food!"

Ye Qingyu gently put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Uncle Fu, we won't sell these grains. We will sell the carbon we have stored at a high price in a few days."

"You don't want to sell it? Then this grain..." Uncle Fu looked at Ye Qingyu in surprise.

Ye Qingyu didn't answer him, "Has the food I asked you to transport to Yanzhou arrived yet?"

Uncle Fu nodded. "It was delivered, but the people delivering the food were trapped in Yanzhou by the heavy snow and couldn't come back. Fortunately, the food was delivered early. If it had been two days later, it would have been buried in the snow."

Uncle Fu looked at his young lady calmly drinking tea and couldn't help but marvel in his heart. If the young lady hadn't ordered the food to be transported quickly, they would have been blocked halfway by the heavy snow. He really didn't know whether to sigh that the young lady was a bit of a genius or just lucky.

"Uncle Fu, you must leave today and bring more people with you. I will let An Yi protect you. You will set off south today. When you reach the disaster area, distribute the food we have stored in the south to the people in the name of the emperor."

"All?" Uncle Fu stood up in shock.

"Miss, are you going to donate it all? Then why not use the name of the Duke's Mansion? We can still gain some reputation."

Ye Qingyu shook her head slightly. "Our Duke's Mansion may seem to be in a position of power and favor, but danger still lurks within. It has always been the case that those who are too powerful will be feared by their masters."

Uncle Fu was silent for a moment, frowning, "Miss, are you thinking too much?"

Ye Qingyu looked at him calmly without saying anything more. "The disaster in the south is serious. I'm sorry to trouble you, Uncle Fu. I can only rest assured if you keep an eye on it."

Uncle Fu bowed and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely deliver every grain of food to the people."
