Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Yi Ya sat by the window, stroking an embroidered handkerchief in her hand, but her eyes followed the master and servant - Yinzhen and Su Peisheng - who left in a hurry, her heart full of doubts and confusion.

"Baizhi, go find Yuanbao."

Yi Ya whispered, revealing a hint of anxiety between her brows. Bai Zhi heard it and quickly responded and left.

Soon, Yuanbao hurried to Yiya's side and asked respectfully, "Fujin, what do you want?"

Yi Ya turned to look at Yuan Bao, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes: "Yuan Bao, why did I leave in such a hurry? Do you know what's urgent?"

Yuanbao scratched his head and recalled what happened just now: "My Lady, several princes and adults just came to visit, and my expression seemed very serious.

I vaguely heard one of the adults mention the words river, water, and people, but I don’t know what it was about.”

When Yi Ya heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and the uneasiness brought about by last night's heavy rain came to her mind again.

"River...water...people..." she murmured to herself, and then realized that the matter might be serious.

"Yuanbao, go find out what's going on, and then come back and tell me as soon as possible."

Yuanbao took the order and left. After a while, he returned to Yiya, covered in sweat and anxious.

He was panting, but his eyes were shining with excitement. "Fujin, I found out everything! It turns out that the master went to the river early in the morning and found that the river had become extremely turbulent due to the heavy rain last night, and there was a danger of bursting the dam.

I acted decisively and immediately organized people to evacuate the people along the coast.

Now the people have been safely relocated, but part of the river has collapsed and the water has not yet completely receded."

After hearing this, Yi Ya felt relieved but also worried. "What about the people now? Are there any injured or trapped?" she asked hurriedly.

"The people have been resettled for the time being, and there are no reports of casualties."

Yuanbao answered as detailed as possible, "But the situation of the river is not optimistic. The water has not receded yet, and the repair work will probably require a lot of manpower and material resources."

Yi Ya nodded slightly, having already made up her mind. She knew that Yinzhen must be discussing countermeasures with the princes and adults in the study at this moment, and this matter could not be resolved in a short time.

"Yuanbao, keep paying attention to what's going on over there and report any new information immediately," she instructed.

Yuanbao retreated, and Yiya fell into deep thought. She knew Yinzhen's pressure and responsibility at the moment, and understood the great impact of this disaster on the people and the country. But she believed that Yinzhen had enough wisdom and determination to lead everyone through the difficulties.

So, she turned around and said to Madam Su beside her: "Madam Su, go prepare some exquisite snacks and send them to the study room for Master later. He didn't eat much just now, so he might be hungry later."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Su immediately responded, "Yes, Fu Jin, I will prepare it right away. Don't worry, I will select the best ingredients and make them carefully so that the Fourth Master can taste the most delicious snacks."

After saying that, Nanny Su left in a hurry and started to get busy.

Yi Ya watched Nanny Su leave, then walked to the window alone and sat down quietly.

Outside the window, the rain continued to fall, just like her mood at the moment, complex and profound.

She stared at the hazy rain curtain, and Yuanbao's words just now kept echoing in her mind - the river collapsed and the people suffered. Every word struck her heart heavily.

"What can I do for these people in distress?" Yi Ya thought to herself.

She was well aware of her limited identity and abilities, but she was unwilling to sit idly by, let alone let herself be consumed by helplessness and anxiety.

So she began to think carefully.

Perhaps, she could mobilize the servants in the mansion to collect some clothes and food and send them to the disaster area; perhaps, she could use her influence to call more people to pay attention to this disaster and provide help to the people affected.

Every thought that flashed through her mind made her feel a warm current surging in her heart.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Yi Ya just sat quietly by the window, letting her thoughts drift away.

The rain was still falling, but her heart gradually found direction and strength.

She knew that although she could not go to the disaster area in person, her care and assistance would surely penetrate the wind and rain and warm those in need.

When Nanny Su appeared in her sight again, Yi Ya had put away all her thoughts.

She took the snack box from Nanny Su's hand and smiled gently, with determination and tenderness flashing in her eyes.

"Madam Su, you did a great job. Please personally deliver these snacks to the study."

Nanny Su nodded and left the room with the snack box.

Yi Ya once again looked out the window, silently praying in her heart: "I hope this rain can stop soon, and I hope the people affected by the disaster can rebuild their homes soon."
