After a while, Qin Yu walked into the house with an unnatural blush on her face. She looked evasive and didn't dare to look Yan Wanwan in the eye.

Xiao Tao was very perceptive and immediately noticed his abnormality. She quickly leaned over to Yan Wanwan's ear and whispered, "Miss, your son-in-law looks like he's done something wrong. You'll have to ask him carefully later. Is he having an affair behind your back?"

Yan Wanwan raised an eyebrow, "What if he did something wrong?"

Xiao Tao shouted indignantly, "Then I'll go tell the young lady. Madam said that if anyone dares to bully the young lady, the young lady will break his neck."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yu's face turned from red to blue in an instant, and even an inexplicable chill rose up his neck.

They all had martial arts skills, so even if Xiao Tao's voice was very low, Qin Yu could hear it clearly, not to mention that this person's voice was so loud that it almost broke his eardrums.

Yan Wanwan patted Xiaotao's shoulder awkwardly and said helplessly, "Please leave first."

Xiao Tao gave him a confused look, but still retreated as he was told, and gave the male host a warning look before leaving.

When they were the only two people left in the house, Yan Wanwan hurriedly asked, "Are those affected areas mountainous? Do mudslides and landslides often occur there? Is the soil extremely soft?"

"What is a mudslide?"

"A debris flow is a large-scale sliding of rocks and soil from a mountain due to severe weather such as heavy rain in mountainous areas."

Qin Yu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Indeed, the greatest dangers to that area are earthworms and torrential rain. Once an attack occurs, the several adjacent villages would be destroyed, not to mention the crops cultivated there. Therefore, it has always been a very troublesome issue for the court."

Yan Wanwan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked anxiously, "That's right. How is the rescue work going? Are there difficulties in providing treatment? I heard that the court's disaster relief supplies are insufficient. Are the people having enough to eat?"

Seeing her so active, Qin Yu was full of doubts and couldn't help asking, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Yan Wanwan smiled faintly, her expression calm: "I want to participate in the rescue."

Qin Yu refused without hesitation: "No, there are still earth turbulences there. How can you guarantee your safety if you go there? I know you are sincere and I will send people to prepare some food and clothing to help the refugees."

"No, I'm not just sending supplies. The local people's houses have been destroyed, and they're facing difficulties in food and daily life. It just so happens that my village is short of workers, so I can go there to recruit workers. This way, they can have a place to live and fill their stomachs. This is the best way to truly help them solve their problems. Relying solely on national treasury relief may not be enough to solve the problem at the moment."

Qin Yu's brows gradually furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

He knew that if Yan Wanwan really did so, it would undoubtedly be a great benefit to the country and the people. Once the people could be properly resettled, not only would the lives of the refugees be stabilized, but the possibility of riots would also be greatly reduced.

However, this is easier said than done, and it cannot be achieved with just a kind heart.

"This falls within the responsibilities of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works. I cannot interfere too much." Qin Yu shook his head helplessly.

After a brief hesitation, Yan Wanwan resolutely said, "How about this? I'll go there in my personal capacity. Fortunately, the journey isn't far and I can arrive in half a day."

As she spoke, she carefully calculated in her mind what supplies she needed to bring and what kind of business would be most suitable in the disaster-stricken area. At the same time, she also considered planting trees in the area to reduce the risk of mudslides.

After all, the ancients had no idea how to prevent and control mudslides, but for her, a wood-type mutant who has experienced the baptism of modern society and the end of the world, dealing with this matter is a piece of cake.

Qin Yu couldn't help but remind her, "Miss! It's the Queen's banquet."

Yan Wanwan waved her hand nonchalantly, "That's a matter of a few days, there's no rush."

Qin Yu: "..."

Yan Wanwan looked at him jokingly, "You were eavesdropping outside just now."

Qin Yu: "..."

Qin Yu blushed awkwardly when her heart was touched. She coughed twice to try to hide it. "Madam, please don't tease me. It's just that the Queen's banquet is of a very high standard. If you are absent or late this time, it might give people something to talk about."

Yan Wanwan tilted her head slightly, "Will it bring you trouble?"

"That won't happen, but it will be more difficult for you to deal with the ladies in the future."

Yan Wanwan's lips curled up into a confident smile. "Since I've decided to deal with the Ministry of Industry first, I'll have a plan to deal with it. Don't worry."

What a joke! If she really didn't go to the Queen's banquet, I'm afraid the resentment of the ladies towards her would disappear without a trace. She doesn't even give face to the Queen, so it's natural for her not to go to these ladies' banquets. It's just like they are on the same level as the Queen. It's quite satisfying to think about it this way.

After saying that, she turned around and went back to her room to pack her bags, ready to leave immediately.

Qin Yu looked at her back and sighed helplessly. Since he couldn't persuade her, he could only join her.

He hurried back and asked Ling Ying to prepare some food and supplies to be sent to the disaster area first, and then he simply packed some luggage. However, when he went out, he learned that Yan Wanwan had already left.

Here, Yan Wanwan simply packed a few necessary clothes and some common medicinal herbs, and hurriedly set off with a few capable servants.

Along the way, she kept moving, constantly thinking about plans to deal with the mudslide and conduct business.

Half a day later, they finally arrived at the disaster-stricken area. However, the scene before them was in ruins, houses collapsed, fields washed away, and people displaced, their eyes full of despair and helplessness. Everywhere they went, they could only hear the cries of the people.

Yan Wanwan felt a pang of sadness and immediately ordered his servants, "Set up a temporary camp here and prepare the tools for serving porridge. When I return, start serving porridge to the people. Also, go see if there are any doctors among the refugees and invite them to treat the injured and sick. I'll pay for all the expenses."

Seeing her go out alone, the guard hurriedly followed, "Madam, I will go with you. It's a mess here."

Yan Wanwan looked at him deeply and said, "You are Qin Yu's guard."

"Yes."

"Okay, follow me!"

She said nothing more, but rode away quickly on a fast horse.

The guards followed her closely, but found that her movements were random and aimless. However, half an hour later, they realized that she was specifically looking around at the collapsed houses and woods.

Outsiders only saw her wandering around, but she was actually looking for a suitable place to plant trees. She used her wood-related abilities to sense the condition of the land, selected several places that were most suitable for tree growth, and prepared to carry out large-scale tree planting activities in the future.

And the most important thing is what is hidden under the soil. When she sensed those things with her special ability, she could hardly suppress the smile on her face. Who would have thought that there were so many mineral resources underneath!

She wants to open a factory, and when the time comes, the factory will be built on these places to hide it from the public.

"Where is the government office? Take me there."
