Manager Shen repeated the tactics he had used in the backyard.

However, the weight of rice and silver reported this time were very different from what was just said in the backyard.

"Well, send what the Third Young Master's wife wants to the designated warehouse, and the rest will be stored as usual. Just listen to her arrangements and follow her." Chu Wei sat at the top, frowning. His sharp eyes seemed like a blade that could penetrate deep into people's hearts and make people dare not look directly at him.

The sneer on the corner of his mouth revealed a hint of playfulness, as if everything in this world was under his control.

Even though Manager Shen had followed his master for more than ten years, he still couldn't figure out his master's intentions.

You can only act according to your master's orders.

He was originally the most inconspicuous shopkeeper among the many shops in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

It was more than ten years ago when the Marquis handed his shop over to the Third Young Master that he had the opportunity to come into contact with the gossips of the outside world.

He follows his master around the country and naturally uses his master's power to expand the assets in his hands.

However, at that time, the master was still the most ordinary captain of the Jinyiwei, a strong man.

Unknown to the Marquis of Zhenbei, his master already had numerous assets of his own, which were all under the management of him and Manager He.

"Yes, I will obey your orders!"

"Yeah." The man replied softly.

Several people quickly retreated.

Zhengyi watched the three people leave and couldn't help asking, "Master, why did the Third Young Master's wife suddenly think of hoarding rice? But so much food? With only two remote shops, how can we sell it all? Don't we still have several thousand stones of food in our granary? Master, is it next year?"

Without needing anyone to remind him, Zhengyi gradually came to his senses.

No wonder Manager Shen is so cunning. He didn't ask any questions and probably guessed the key.

Seeing his master's unhappy expression, he quickly made amends, "Subordinate, go and help Manager Shen arrange a vehicle to enter the city now."

After saying this, the man disappeared into the yard.

On the second day, Su Xinqing heard Shan Qing come in to report that the rice had been delivered to the city or to the courtyards outside the city.

Shanqing also arranged special people to guard the farm. Besides, there were already tenants and managers on the farm, so Su Xinqing felt more at ease.

The famine that was originally thought to occur in the second year, caught everyone off guard when an earthquake struck the capital.

There was also a slight tremor in the capital.

Su Xinqing, who was sleeping in a daze in the middle of the night, was woken up by Shanlan and Shanrui.

Ban Yue also looked at the two of them in confusion: "Two sisters, what's wrong?"

At the moment of speaking, Ban Yue had been covered by the sudden clothes.

"Put it on quickly, it's cold outside, wait in the yard." Shan Lan urged, looking at the master who had already been dressed and kept warm enough by herself and Shan Rui.

The two men then supported Su Xinqing to the yard.

When the four of them came out, they heard some noise in the yard next door.

However, this time, not only did the house shake slightly, but the candlelight in the yard also moved clearly.

There was also a low, long sound in the distance, like the roar of a wild beast in the mountains, or the wailing of a wounded animal...

The sound of a cup of tea lasted for a while. When the sound ended, Su Xinqing heard the sobbing of fear coming from inside and outside the yard.

"Let's go and see mother-in-law. How is she?" Her hair was messy from sleeping, but fortunately her clothes were neat.

He turned back and reminded Ban Yue who wanted to catch up: "Watch our yard, you know!"

Su Xinqing's last look was towards the warehouse. Banyue immediately understood what his girl meant, nodded, and took Qiuyue over to take a look.

As he walked along, he picked up a stick.

Seeing Banyue getting nervous, Su Xinqing felt relieved and turned around to go out with Shanlan and Shanrui.

Little did I know that the moment I opened the gate, I would see a tall figure standing outside the gate.

When she saw who it was, Su Xinqing's eyes lit up slightly, but when she saw the other person's stern face, she couldn't help but shudder.

I should control my emotions and go up to greet him.

No matter how you put it, everyone in this world is your own heaven, and you should have the respect you deserve. Su Xinqing will never forget it.

"My dear husband, how are you? I'm going to my mother-in-law's yard. I wonder if you want to come with me?" Seeing that the other party was like a living devil, did Su Xinqing dare to disrespect him?

If you don't respect others, the other party can easily take your life.

What's more, the people around you who can be used are all given to you by others, which means you have absolute right to speak.

"No need, just ask mother how she is. I'm going to the government office now. I'll leave the two of them to you. I'll send someone to look after Fu'an Lane!" After saying that, he left quickly. Zhengyi followed behind, bowed to Su Xinqing, and left quickly as well.

"Yes, Xinqing thanks her husband." Su Xinqing never thought that Chu Wei would think of his uncle and aunt's family.

Therefore, Su Xinqing's gratitude at this time was sincere.

Under the moonlight, the figures of Chu Wei and his servant were like two black lightning bolts, and they quickly disappeared into the night sky.

Chu Wei's figure could no longer be seen. Su Xinqing looked at the two people left in front of her.

Although they were wearing servants' clothes, their physiques and gestures showed the temperament of martial artists, and their identities were obvious.

"Subordinate Sixteen, greets the Third Young Master's wife!"

"Subordinate Seventeen, I pay my respects to the Third Young Master's wife!"

"Stand up, you guys?"

"Madam, we can just wait outside the courtyard of Fufeng Pavilion! Madam Third Young Master, please do as you please!" Sixteen lowered his head and responded respectfully.

Seeing the two people standing at the gate of her courtyard, Su Xinqing felt relieved and led them to the main courtyard.

The originally gloomy courtyard was now illuminated by the lights from various courtyards.

"Mom, mom, what's going on?"

"Miss, it's okay. It's just an ordinary earthquake. It's far away from the capital. It will be gone soon. You can go into the house and sleep. I also experienced it when I was a child. It's okay. It sounds like a loud noise. Our capital is the safest place. However, just in case, you should wait outside. You two go into the house and bring out two soft couches for Madam and Miss to lie down and rest. Then take out two quilts..."

When Su Xinqing brought Shan Lan and Shan Rui in, they saw Nanny Gong ordering the maidservants in Yuan's yard.

Go in and help the master move the couch and get things.

The little maid assigned by Nanny Gong stood in the yard, shivering and not daring to step forward.

Finally, they heard Nanny Gong’s cold snort and then they rushed into the house one by one.

"Hello, mother-in-law, hello, sister-in-law," Su Xinqing's clear voice dispelled a little of the tense atmosphere in the yard.

Yuan and Shen Ruyan were a little surprised to see Su Xinqing walking in calmly and with all her clothes intact except for her hair.

However, the two of them didn't like Su Xinqing in the first place, so they just gave each other a look and started looking at the sky in the distance.

It seems that some traces can be seen from the dark night sky.
