The older woman risked exposing herself to poison the prince, which was a task someone had arranged for her. She had been in the mansion for many years, hiding in plain sight.
Although she had never accepted any missions, she did not expect to receive one so suddenly. Indeed, she had hidden very well; no one suspected her because she was Lan Xiyao’s caretaker.
The older lady was good to Lan Xiyao and would not abuse her power in the mansion. Instead, she knew how to hide so that people would barely notice her existence.
Since she upheld her identity as a caretaker, everyone in the mansion respected her, making it easier for her to make her move. However, the older woman did not know Lan Ruobing would dream about her brother getting poisoned on the same day she would take action.
Lan Ruobing could occasionally dream about things that would happen, so she knew it was an early warning. Then she could take precautions in advance and become wary of the older woman.
She arranged for one of the hidden guards to capture the caretaker, and the guard was none other than Shadow One, who was always by the prince and princess’s side.
The caretaker never expected to get exposed after being so careful and hiding all these years. She wanted to commit suicide by biting a poison pill after being captured by one of the mansion’s shadow guards.
However, Shadow One was prepared for it. He dislocated the older woman’s jaw and removed the poison pill she had hidden in her mouth. He even knew where she had hidden the pill, which shocked the caretaker.
The older woman looked like she had seen a ghost with her widened eyes.

Although she had thought so, Lan Ruobing was the one who told Shadow One about the caretaker. The young princess took the poison pill from the caretaker and said, “How vicious. It’s such an overpowering poison.”
‘If she succeeded in poisoning my brother, it would’ve weakened him, and I wouldn’t have been able to find out why. This is no ordinary poison.’
Then Lan Ruobing asked the shadow guards to bring the caretaker to the mansion’s interrogation room, where the three-year-old princess personally interrogated the caretaker.
Lan Ruobing walked steadily, spoke firmly, and looked like an adult. Everyone in the mansion listened to her words, and the shadow guards were highly respectful toward the young princess.
Shadow One was still a young man who Lan Xiyao and Bing Suwan had specially trained for their beloved daughter.
Nonetheless, the caretaker knew it was pointless to quibble, so she said, “I won’t say anything. It’s useless for you to interrogate me.”
After all, the older woman was a trained spy with special skills, so she would not reveal any secrets.
Lan Ruobing placed her small hands behind her back and walked around. Then she tilted her head and looked at the caretaker. “Is that so? No one can keep their mouths shut as long as I’m involved.”
Since her parents were not in the mansion, she had no choice but to be on high alert to protect the deceased royal’s mansion because the emperor was still trying to eliminate her brother. Therefore, the young princess dared not let her guard down.
She did not feel any kinship in her modern life, but she had exceptional parents and an intelligent brother in this one. Of course, she had to protect them. She would not allow anyone to hurt her family.
Lan Ruobing took out a pill and told one of the guards to feed it to the caretaker. She thought if she tortured the caretaker, she would tell them everything.
Lan Ruobing then discovered the emperor had a place where his people specialized in training spies. As for what the totem was, she still did not know.
She also discovered that someone else had given the poison to the caretaker but did not know who had made it.
Soon after, Lan Ruobing tasked someone to watch the caretaker because she planned to let her parents deal with the older woman when they returned. As for the place where the emperor trained his spies, the two parents later destroyed it in secret.
Chu Gujian suspected the duo but had no evidence against them.
When Lan Ruobing was six, she dreamed someone had lured her brother into a pond and drowned him. She had woken up early but was still too late, as someone had lured Shadow One away.
Even so, Lan Ruobing could only save her brother on her own and managed to fish him out of the pond. It was also during that time when the twin’s bodies weakened.
It was late autumn, and the water was cold. Since they were still children, they could not take it, and Lan Ruobing’s body started burning up. From then on, the young princess decided to personally train the shadow guards and the forces belonging to the deceased royal’s mansion.
Lan Ruobing had always relied on her own methods to protect her family and the residents in the mansion. She had even built and established Blue Mountain Academy in Teng He town when she dreamed about it.
“Aunt Binglan? Aunt Binglan.” Someone called out to her, and she slowly woke up. Then she saw Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai standing beside her, but she was still in a daze.@@novelbin@@
She was still thinking about her dream but knew it was not just a dream. Those were memories that belonged to her, memories of her past life—the memories of that wisp of soul she had seemingly lost.
‘I was Lan Ruobing.’
Although she had yet to recover her memories fully, she knew she had another identity. “B-Brother…”
‘I wonder how he’s doing now. I want to see him and check on him. Isn’t the mansion no longer around? What about my parents?!’
Su Binglan’s heart ached painfully as she thought of these things, her face pale.
Meanwhile, Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were stunned and dared not move when they saw their aunt like that. They thought she looked different from her usual self.
Su Binglan did not return to her senses for a while and was utterly immersed in what she recalled from her past life. Her eyes were red with tears.
‘My brother is still alive, and I want to see him.’
She remembered Luo Jin’an saying her brother was fine for now. However, King Lan Ruozhu would not recognize Su Binglan if she had rushed there now. Hence, she wanted to know about King Lan Ruozhu through Luo Jin’an.
She wanted to cure her brother.
After finally returning to her senses, she calmed her nephews’ emotions and brought them to Blue Mountain Academy’s cafeteria to eat.
It was noon after Su Binglan had slept for a while, so it was time for the academy students’ lunch break. It was Su Binglan’s first time eating at the academy cafeteria.
She entered Blue Mountain Academy’s courtyard and saw many students walking around. Everyone could not stop smiling as they carried their lunch boxes to the cafeteria.
“I heard there will be ribs for lunch today.”
“Really?”
“It’s true. It was chicken wings yesterday. Today, it’s pork ribs.”
“Speaking of which, we must all thank Miss Su. If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t have been able to eat such good food in the academy and at such low prices, too.”
“The food in our cafeteria is so cheap because Miss Su is the one who pays the bulk of the costs. We only have to spend a little, yet we can still eat our fill.”
“When I studied here last time, I would either bring cold and hard food or not have enough to eat. Now, everyone looks forward to their lunch break and going to the cafeteria the most.”
“We can eat a steamed bun and side dishes to fill our stomachs to save money. A big steamed bun like that only costs one copper coin, too. We can always have a second meal if that’s not enough. We can also ask the workers to help reheat our food if needed..”

The Blue Mountain Academy students discussed the food they could eat at the new cafeteria. Some would even explain the situation to those who did not understand how the cafeteria worked.
Everyone went to the cafeteria, which looked lively. Su Binglan smiled faintly when she noticed everyone’s expressions and listened to their discussions.
‘It seems the students will no longer starve with the cafeteria around. They can even eat a steamed bun to fill their stomachs, even though it’s such a simple thing.’
Su Binglan had not visited the academy for a long time, but she felt better seeing the improvements there. That was because she had built the academy when she lived as Lan Ruobing. Therefore, she naturally hoped the academy would develop well.
Although she had only recovered some of her memories from when she was Lan Ruobing, it was enough for her to know many things.
She held Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai’s hands and said, “Is the food in the cafeteria delicious?”
“It’s delicious and different every day.” Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai both ate well. In addition, they often drank spiritual spring water, so they both looked outstanding.
Their voices were crisp and clear when they spoke, and Su Xuehai looked incredibly adorable.
Su Xuexuan added, ‘Aunt Binglan, everyone says the food in the cafeteria is delicious and talks about how good you are.”
Su Binglan smiled lightly and patted the little one’s head. She did not intend for everyone to be grateful to her because she did not want the students to know that she had developed the cafeteria.
Ads by Pubfuture However, she did not expect Luo Kang and the others to tell the students about it.
Su Binglan brought her two nephews to the cafeteria to eat, and some students saw her on the way.
Everyone excitedly called out to her, “Miss Su, Miss Su!”
The students were ecstatic when they saw her. It was as if they had seen their idol, and their eyes were shining. Su Binglan was not used to such a thing and felt like a celebrity.
Nonetheless, she smiled and greeted everyone, “Hurry up and eat at the cafeteria. The food will get cold if you’re late.”
Everyone responded well to her. “Miss Su, we’re not in a hurry. There will be enough food even if we’re the last to arrive. Mr. Luo and Mrs. Qiu always make enough food for everyone.”
“We can all eat hot, fresh food now, thanks to you, Miss Su. We couldn’t focus on our studies in the past because of our empty stomachs.”
“Yeah! We can all eat our fill now and have enough energy to listen to our teachers’ lessons.’
“Also, Mr. Luffs cooking is delicious. We can also try foods others can’t, like potato pancakes and tofu.”@@novelbin@@
“The food I like most is stinky tofu. Although it tastes strange, it’s too fragrant and delicious to resist. It’s that we can only eat that once every few days.
Everyone looks forward to eating stinky tofu.”
The stinky tofu sold at the cafeteria was cheaper than the ones outside, as Su Binglan was the one who priced the food in the cafeteria. She did that so that the students could eat better food.
Several other places in town also sold stinky tofu, and business was booming.
Song Yi was responsible for delivering stock to these stalls daily. However, the stinky tofu sold at these stalls was naturally more expensive than the ones the cafeteria sold.
Initially, Su Binglan wanted to set up a cafeteria to make things convenient for the students. Since she had the money from her many businesses, she wanted to do good things with it.
However, she had just confirmed that she had lived as Lan Ruobing, so she knew she should do whatever Lan Ruobing wanted to.
Su Binglan smiled, saying, “Everyone should be able to eat and study well. If you continue learning, it will only benefit your future greatly.”
She suddenly felt she could open more businesses.
‘If these students don’t want to take the imperial examinations, they can display their talents in my businesses. I must study this more carefully. I wonder if the academy can also offer some skill courses.’
Su Binglan thought of these things as she entered the cafeteria for the first time. The cafeteria had many tables and chairs for everyone to sit on. Meanwhile, Luo Kang, Qiu He, and Luo Juan were busy at the back.
They had even hired two more women to help. Now, the five of them could work every day. The two helpers’ main job was to ensure enough rice for everyone, which was not complicated.
They also learned that having two meat, two vegetables, and staple food daily was more straightforward.
Luo Kang and the others were thrilled when they saw Su Binglan. Especially
Luo Juan because she admired Su Binglan the most. She also had not seen Su Binglan for a long time.
“Miss Su, you’re here.”
Su Binglan asked smilingly, “Have you adapted well to working here?”

Luo Juan nodded happily, “Yes, we’re all very used to it now. The environment here is good, and I’m still with my parents.”
If her family had not met Su Binglan, they would have already died, not to mention they could live stable lives now.
The environment at the academy was simple, and the family did not have to overthink. The family only needed to cook for the students, and they had a small courtyard to live in after work.
Luo Juan and her parents could live there, so they did not have to tire themselves by walking home.
Since the family fed the students well, everyone at the academy respected them and was grateful for their cooking.
Luo Juan thought her cooking skills had significantly improved, but she never stopped practicing her knife skills whenever she cooked.
Meanwhile, Luo Kang and Qiu He also talked to Su Binglan about the cafeteria. They recorded the accounts very clearly whenever they finished work for the day.
When Luo Jin’an was still around, Su Binglan told him to check on the cafeteria whenever he came to the academy to study. Since he had left on a long journey, Su Binglan had to handle it alone.
However, she had not been to the academy for a long time. Whenever Luo Kang gave the account book to Su Wenzhe, he would bring it back to the village for Su Binglan to see.
Whenever Su Binglan looked at it, she would find no issues or mistakes. She also felt assured that Luo Kang and his family could handle things well.
After chatting with Qiu He and the others, Su Binglan ordered three servings of rice and then sat at one of the many tables to eat with her nephews. Eating there reminded her of eating in a modern school cafeteria.
The pork ribs the family made were good, and there were also big steamed buns. Anyone could fill their stomachs with the addition of vegetarian dishes, too.
After the meal, Su Binglan asked her nephews to rest in the dormitory while she left the academy.
After exiting the academy gates, she turned around and looked dazed. She seemed to have returned to the time when she was Lan Ruobing. She remembered being frail then but still came to the academy to check on it.
Still, she had not recovered all of her memories as Lan Ruobing and did not know what she thought about back then.
‘Why did I build Blue Mountain Academy?’
Su Binglan’s heart was doubtful. Moreover, she used the compass to determine Luo Jin’an’s location but could not find it. Strangely enough, she could not predict anything to do with her husband. It was like a barrier was covering his body, isolating him from all prying eyes.
Su Binglan thought for a while and turned around. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked up. Then she noticed a bizarre phenomenon in the sky..

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
If anyone else were looking at the sky, they would think it was a typical day. It was, but Su Binglan knew it was something different. Her expression turned grave as she looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky.
Such a thing meant something was about to happen in that area in Teng He
Town.
Su Binglan used her Soul Powers again to observe the phenomenon and realized an earthquake would occur in Teng He Town. She knew earthquakes were unavoidable, so she had to minimize casualties by telling the county magistrate about it.
After all, only the magistrate had a strong appeal and could organize everyone to take measures in advance.
Su Binglan might not have known the county magistrate, but she had once saved his son, who happened to be Old Madam Fengs grandson.
Therefore, the county magistrate would arrange for his subordinates to make things convenient for Su Binglan whenever her family opened a shop in town.
Su Binglan knew these things, so she had to rush to his place this time. Although the county magistrate was not there, Old Madam Feng was with her grandson.
When the older woman saw Su Binglan, she hurriedly said, “Quick, invite them in.’
She was thrilled to see Su Binglan as she was the one who had saved her grandson and had become the family’s benefactor. Furthermore, Old Madam Feng looked at Su Binglan and felt she was incomparable to an average person.
‘The temperament she exudes is extraordinary.’
Old Madam Feng came from the Feng family and was the eldest daughter of cne ramuys main Drancn. sne naa mec many people ana coma Juage someone at a glance.
Moreover, she had watched the Su family develop incredibly quickly over the past few months, so she knew Su Binglan had done many miraculous things. Su Binglan sounded like a legend, and Old Madam Feng was shocked at what she had heard about the young lady.
Ads by Pubfuture Moreover, the people under Old Madam Feng usually bought the food Su Binglan had researched and developed. Old Madam Feng could only agree with her underlings.
She did not have much appetite initially, but after eating Su Binglan’s food, she regained her desire to eat more. She especially liked the stinky tofu in particular.
Old Madam Fengs son was dutiful and sometimes took her to one of the hotpot restaurants. Even her grandson enjoyed eating there. Therefore, she was grateful to Su Binglan from the bottom of her heart.
The surrounding towns were remote, and the conditions were backward. Being a county magistrate here was also a grievance for Old Madam Fengs son. Her son had come here because he wanted to make some achievements to get promoted.
That was because both the Feng and Meng families had their connections, but Old Madam Feng did not know why. She felt this place would develop well if
Su Binglan were here. Then her son could make many political achievements.
Old Madam Feng hurriedly instructed her daughter-in-law, “Xiu Niang, quickly arrange for the maids to serve us tea and snacks. We must treat our guests well.”
Xiu Niang always listened to her mother-in-law. She nodded. “I’ll do it right away, Mother-in-law.”
Xiu Niang was also genuinely grateful to Su Binglan because the young lady had saved her son once.@@novelbin@@
When Su Binglan entered the Meng family’s courtyard, Old Madam Feng was the one who went to welcome her in. “Please, come in, Miss Su. You saved my grandson last time, but we never got the chance to invite you over.”
Old Madam Feng wanted to express her gratitude back then, but Su Binglan was too busy and could not come. Since that was the case, the older woman gave Su Binglan a thousand silver taels as a consultation fee.
The silver initially helped Su Binglan, and she even used it to buy land. Su Binglan had a good impression of Old Madam Feng.
She had learned from Doctor Wu that Old Madam Feng came from the Feng family and was the eldest daughter of the family’s main branch. Hence, the older woman had a lot of prestige in her family.
Then the older woman entered the Meng family, and the Mengs had a prime minister. The Nieng family declined later but still maintained their foundation, no matter how much they declined. They also still had connections in the imperial court.
Su Binglan understood after some analysis that the current county magistrate was only temporarily here and probably wanted to enter the court to take the prime minister position.
Otherwise, Old Madam Feng and the Meng family would not stay in such a small place with their current status.
“Old Madam Feng, you don’t have to be so polite. Thank you, but I have something to tell you.” Su Binglan smiled and went straight to the point.
Old Madam Feng looked at the young lady’s severe expression and knew she had something important to say. Old Madam Feng said, “Miss Su, you’re our family’s benefactor. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to tell us. We’ll do whatever we can to help.
Su Binglan could feel the older woman’s genuine sincerity. She said softly,
“There’s something I need the county magistrate to do.”
Old Madam Fengs expression changed slightly when she heard that. “Please, tell me what it is, Miss Su.’
Then Su Binglan told the older woman about the earthquake that would soon occur around Teng He Town. Earthquakes were a grave matter, especially in this era. Old Madam Fengs face turned pale when she heard that. “H-How do you know, Miss Su?”
‘Earthquakes are impossible to predict. If one happens, there will be too many casualties in this area if we don’t take preventive measures in advance. It’ll have a massive impact on my son’s political achievements, too.’
Old Madam Feng knew this was not a small matter, and Su Binglan knew it would be hard for anyone to believe her if she said it rashly. However, she already had an explanation for it. “My master discovered it by observing the weather.’
Su Binglan could only make up a master for herself. Since Doctor Wu had previously stated that Su Binglan came from the Legendary Medicine Valley, Old Madam Feng would not doubt her explanation.
The Legendary Medicine Valley was mythical, and ordinary people did not know where it was. Furthermore, Su Binglan was powerful, so it was not far-fetched to say her master would be, too.
Still, Old Madam Feng was in disbelief. But she quickly calmed down and said, “Are you serious, Miss su?”
“It’s true. If you believe me, then we should prepare in advance. The earthquake will happen within three days.” Su Binglan believed in her own judgment and knew there would not be any problems.
Moreover, she would tell her granduncle to arrange for the villagers to prepare early after returning to Su Teng Village.
Earthquakes were a big deal, especially for people in this era. Once it happened, many would die because the houses these ordinary people lived in were unstable and could easily collapse compared to modern-day houses.
Old Madam Feng struggled to regain her senses, even after Su Binglan left.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan dared not waste any more time. She hurried to the dessert shop and told Lin Zheng to close it immediately. Then she went home and told her parents about the earthquake so that they could take necessary precautions.
Business at the dessert shop was the same as always. Since the shop released new products occasionally, everyone would want to buy them. People from other places would also come to buy one or two pounds of specialty products to take home.
Business at the two hotpot restaurants was no different, so Su Binglan immediately told Zhou Shan and Li Shi to close it and that they would reopen three days later..

Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Binglan’s sudden decision shocked everyone. They wondered why she told her staff to close the shop for the next three days.
‘We know how popular the restaurants are.’
‘How much money could they lose if they closed for three days?’
‘Why are they closing in the first place?’
Everyone was puzzled.
Su Binglan explained, “An earthquake will occur in three days. Everyone should go home and prepare for it. Wear more clothes and stay flat on the ground when it happens.”
Everyone was frightened when they heard what she said, and their faces turned pale. Some even started to tremble. After all, an earthquake was a catastrophe for many.
Some experienced earthquakes when they were young, and many people died.
Zhou Shan’s grandparents had died because of it, and he was shocked then.
Now that he thought about it again, he still had a lingering fear of earthquakes.
A few others were hired to work at the hotpot restaurant, and some were women who had a profound impression of the earthquake from many years ago. Their houses had collapsed then, and they would have gotten crushed if they had not run away.
Ads by Pubfuture Many people died at that time.
After the earthquake, the people in their village dug up the collapsed houses and found many buried underneath. Some were barely alive, while many others had died. It was a horrible scene, and everyone was terrified.
Many people fell silent after Su Binglan finished speaking. Everyone recalled that tragic day.
Su Binglan looked at everyone’s expressions and understood there had been an earthquake here before, as everyone had an impression of it.
‘It looks like everyone is quite afraid.’
After a while, someone finally returned to his senses and said carefully, “Miss Su, is that true? Do we only have three days to prepare?”
No one would doubt Su Binglan’s words, but they would only suspect they had misheard her.
Su Binglan said with a severe expression, “That’s right. It’ll happen within these three days, and everyone should be vigilant.”
With her current ability, she could only see the earthquake phenomenon but could not stop it. She could only devise countermeasures and control the earthquake to prevent it from getting out of control.
However, that would consume a lot of Su Binglan’s Soul Power. She did not know if she would faint from using too much Soul Power, but she could not worry about the details.
After all, she could not just sit and watch the earthquake happen as all the buildings would get destroyed. Moreover, the common folk had worked hard to save money to build their homes.
‘They’ll have nowhere to live if their houses collapse.’
Everyone listened to Su Binglan and confirmed they did not mishear her. They had grown accustomed to listening to the young lady, too.
After Zhou Shan and Li Shi closed the restaurants, everyone rushed home and told their families the news because an earthquake was not a small matter—it was life-threatening.
Everyone had to run around to inform whoever they knew.
The Lin family was famous in Teng He Town. In the past, Lin Zheng was rebellious and never listened to his parents. His parents were troubled by his behavior.
They feared their son would cause trouble and that something terrible would happen to him. However, they never understood why Lin Zheng was so rebellious. Sometimes, they would even fail to find him whenever he stayed out late.
The two parents feared something would happen to their son and that he might disappear. However, Lin Zheng changed for the better after meeting his master, Su Binglan.@@novelbin@@
He instantly transformed from a rebellious youth into an excellent and upright young man. He became proactive and learned many valuable things, such as Arabic numbers and bookkeeping methods.
He also taught it to his family’s accountant, which helped the accountant become more efficient in his work. It would take a long while for the accountant to summarize the family’s accounts in the past. Now that the accountant could do it more efficiently, he felt more relaxed.
Lin Zheng even taught his parents this method. The entire Lin family could understand their shops’ situations at once at a glance.
Moreover, Lin Zheng knew martial arts and became more sensible and dutiful. He would also occasionally bring back some delicacies Su Binglan had developed for his parents.
He even brought them to eat hotpot and skewers, making his parents proud and gratified. They knew their son could learn well because he was by Su Binglan’s side.
They would feel at ease if Lin Zheng remained by Su Binglan’s side. The two parents were grateful to Su Binglan from the bottom of their hearts because of their son.
The two could often eat delicacies Su Binglan had developed and eventually became foodies.
The person they trusted most was Su Binglan, as they had learned many things from her.

Lin Zheng also had an older brother, whom his parents valued more in the past because he was more sensible, steady, and knowledgeable. The two parents would always criticize Lin Zheng back then, calling him ignorant and incompetent.
However, they started praising Lin Zheng now. Even his elder brother, sister-in-law, and nephew liked him because he often brought back delicious delicacies others could not buy.
Lin Zhengs elder brother grew jealous and said his children liked their uncle more. Lin Zheng also often sent food to his elder sister, who lived in the prefecture.
Lin Qin’s presence and status in her husband’s family became increasingly prominent. Her husband was the son of a concubine from an influential family, but because Lin Zheng often sent them delicious food, Lin Qin could
make her mother-in-law happy.
Now, the old mistress started to favor Lin Qin and her husband.
Lin Zheng had brought about all these changes to his family, and they understood it was all thanks to Su Binglan.
Therefore, when Mr. and Mrs. Lin heard about the impending earthquake, they said without hesitation, “Quick, pack the essentials and place them in the empty courtyard.
“We’ll sleep there for the next few days instead of staying indoors. Wear more clothes so you won’t freeze. We only have to hold on for three days.”
The Lin family did not doubt Su Binglan!s words, even if an earthquake was unpredictable. They just knew Su Binglan was right and did whatever she said. “Also, we must quickly arrange for someone to message your sister. Hurry!
The prefecture is so far away, so it’ll take time for the message to arrive.”
Lin Zheng said, “Oh, Father, Mother, use the pigeon to send a message to Big Sister.”
Su Binglan had asked him to raise pigeons once, which came in handy regarding the current situation.
Mr. and Mrs. Lin were so anxious that they did not consider that. “Right, right. Hurry and send a letter to your sister using the pigeon.”
They were unsure if the earthquake would reach the prefecture but knew they still had to tell Lin Qin to take necessary precautions.
However, Su Binglan had observed that the earthquake would only affect the area around Teng He Town, not the prefecture.
She also knew Lan Ruozhu was currently running the deceased royal’s mansion, so she would have immediately rushed over to tell him if the earthquake were to affect the prefecture. Nonetheless, she knew the prefecture was fine.
Meanwhile, Li Shi quickly returned to Su Teng Village and told his parents about the earthquake.
He moved to Su Teng Village with his parents a while back, and his parents now listen to him. “We’ll do whatever you say, Li Shi.. Should we pack our things and go to a higher place outside?”

Mr. and Mrs. Li always listened to everything Li Shi said, and he would say whatever was necessary. Moreover, news of the earthquake was terrifying, so they had to prepare themselves for it.
Li Shi said, “Su Xueye built our house, and Miss Su says it’s sturdy. We won’t have a problem unless it’s a massive earthquake. Still, she also suggested we sleep in the courtyard and not inside for the next few days.
“Otherwise, the house might collapse and crush us. Let’s wear more clothes since we’re sleeping in the courtyard to survive the cold for three days. Our safety is of the utmost importance.”
His expression was severe as he was cautious about what his boss had said. Although he did not know why Su Binglan told him there would be an earthquake in the next three days, he still believed her words.
Therefore, after returning home, he arranged for his parents to stay in the courtyard. Fortunately, the family’s house was vast and spacious. They also had a large courtyard that was convenient for doing many things.
Mr. and Mrs. Li were happy their son could take a three-day break. Now that their son could rest for three days, they could spend more time with him. For some reason, the older couple was dependent on Li Shi now. Seeing their son by their side made them feel at ease, too.
Mrs. Li seemed to have thought of something and asked, “So, how do we cook during the day?”
Mr. and Mrs. Li had grown accustomed to listening to their son, even over small matters.
After some thought, Li Shi said, “Then we’ll set up a pot in the courtyard for cooking and eat there, too.”
Since it was winter, it was cold in the courtyard, especially at night. It would be so cold that they could not sleep properly outside, and Li Shi did not know what to do.
Ads by Pubfuture “In any case, we must persevere for the next three days. We must ensure our safety first.”
Li Shi’s parents wondered if they should inform their other children about the earthquake. Although they would not care about their other two sons, they could not just sit and watch them suffer.
Li Shi knew his parents’ thoughts and said, “I’ll tell Big Brother and Little Brother about it.’
He could not bear watching his siblings get into trouble with the dangerous earthquake, especially since the trio had an excellent relationship when they were children.
Of course, Li Shi’s siblings dared not provoke him. The main reason was that
Li Shi had many capable friends who helped him, and his siblings were no match for them.
Moreover, his siblings knew he worked for the Su family, which had prestige in the hearts of people from surrounding villages. Therefore, Li Shi’s siblings tucked their tails between their legs and dared not provoke Li Shi since he moved to Su Teng Village.
Meanwhile, when Zhou Shan returned home, he quickly told his parents about the impending earthquake. Liu Yinyin also informed her family about it.
Then her parents closed their duck blood vermicelli shop early and hung a sign on their shop’s entrance, saying, “Impending earthquake. Please go home and take precautions. We’ll reopen in three days.”
Even Su Binglan’s hotpot restaurants and her third uncle’s barbecue shop had such a sign. Many customers still went to line up at the hotpot restaurant but hurried home to prepare themselves after seeing the sign.
As for the foreigners, they could only sigh.
“I came to Teng He Town to eat hotpot. I didn’t expect them to be closed.”
“Yeah. Since there’s an earthquake, we can’t stay here for too long. We should leave as soon as possible.”
Ads by Pubfuture “I didn’t get to eat the famous hotpot. How will I tell my family about this when I get back? I must at least buy something. Oh, right. I can buy sweaters, school bags, and other things here. Everyone will be happy.”
“Where can I buy those?” Everyone had heard of these items and had visited Teng He Town for a few days to get them.
“They’re in Su’s Accessories. Walk along the west end of town, and you’ll see a big building from afar. There’s also a winery and embroidery shop there, so you’ll know when you’re close.”
“Oh, there’s still stinky tofu in town. You must bring some back to your family for them to try.”
“But won’t the stinky tofu go bad and become inedible?”
“Don’t worry. They have boxes for storing things. You can keep things fresh, but you’ll have to spend more money.”
These foreigners had plenty of money and came to Teng He Town for its famous foods. As everyone talked with each other, they suddenly thought of something important.
One of them said, “Something isn’t right. Why is there a sign saying there will be an impending earthquake?”
“You’re right. I would have forgotten about it if you didn’t say anything. Don’t we only know about an earthquake after the fact? How can they predict it in advance?”
“So, is this true or false?”
“Did something happen to the Su family, and they closed their shops for three days with this as an excuse?”
The foreign merchants were doubtful. Even the residents of Teng He Town were shocked when they saw the signs hanging outside the shops. Just the word “earthquake” made everyone’s faces turn pale.
“An earthquake? They’re closing for three days because of an earthquake?” “l haven’t heard of anyone being able to predict an earthquake. Is it true?”

“If there’s an earthquake, it’ll be too dangerous. It’s also winter. Where can we live if our houses collapse?”
“What should we do?”
The townsfolk got a headache just thinking about an earthquake. Some of the older people had even experienced a massive earthquake, which was truly terrifying.
‘Won’t we be able to sleep indoors for the next three days? Will we have to sleep in our courtyards or on the streets?’
The townsfolk began to spread the news. Some were willing to make preparations, while others thought it was fake.
“How can anyone predict an earthquake? Someone must’ve spread this rumor on purpose, so don’t believe it and just go about your days.”
“The Su family can make good food but aren’t gods. Don’t believe everything they say and make a fuss over it.”
Others scoffed and thought it was all a lie.
When Su Binglan returned to the village, she hurriedly told the workers from the tofu factory, embroidery shop, and winery about the matter. As for whether or not everyone believed her, that was their business.
She would inform everyone either way. Also, she gave everyone a three-day notice.
The workers at the tofu factory, embroidery shop, and winery believed Su
Binglan. No matter the reason, they would be ready in the next three days.
After all, earthquakes were terrifying, and no one wanted to risk their lives.@@novelbin@@
Moreover, Su Binglan had given the workers three days off for their sake.
They had heard that the tofu factory, embroidery shop, and winery’s buildings were earthquake-resistant, meaning they would not collapse even if an earthquake occurred.
Therefore, Su Binglan could have let them continue working under normal circumstances. Everyone knew the tofu factory, embroidery shop, and winery businesses were booming, and they could earn a lot of money in three days.
However, Su Binglan gave everyone three days off for their safety. Everyone felt touched and believed Su Binglan’s words even more, so they hurried home to tell their families and the rest of the villagers.
Some of these workers! relatives lived far away, so they had to borrow an oxcart to relay the warning. No one dared to be careless regarding matters of life and death..

In less than an afternoon, everyone in the villages around Teng He Town knew there would be an earthquake in the next three days. The expressions of those who had heard the news changed, and they began to prepare.
Still, many others refused to believe it.
“It’s fake. Who’s the one saying all this? What earthquake? The weather is fine.
Why would there be an earthquake?” @@novelbin@@
“That’s right. It’s such a cold day. Why are you talking about an earthquake?”
“No one can predict whether or not there will be an earthquake. If someone could know in advance, everyone would’ve been prepared for those past earthquakes.”
“Don’t spout nonsense.”
“Don’t listen to this because you’re making everyone anxious. Just go about your day. It’s so cold outside, so where else can you sleep at night if an earthquake occurs? Are you not going to do anything for the next three days?”
Su Binglan told her parents about the matter when she got home. Then everyone made preparations according to her instructions. In addition, she had designed the house herself, so it was shockproof.
However, she dared not let her parents and brothers stay indoors and told everyone to stay in the spacious courtyard instead.
Everyone began to work together to set up a stove in the courtyard. If it were summer, it would be acceptable to sleep outdoors, but it was winter now, and the weather was too cold to sleep in the courtyard.
Ads by Pubfuture “Let’s build a tent. Sleeping in one will keep us warm at night.”
Su Fengmao was stunned as it was his first time hearing such a word. Nieanwhile, Shen Qiuhua and the others looked at Su Binglan with puzzled expressions.
“Daughter, what’s a tent?”
Su Binglan patiently explained, “It’s similar to a small house. I’ll teach everyone how to set up a tent later. You just need to follow my instructions.”
Many things were scarce in this era, so they could only make a simple tent. That way, the family could keep warm when they slept in the courtyard. After all, they could not just stay awake for the next three days.
“Big Brother, you and Second Brother can go to the back of the mountain to get some branches and bamboo,” Su Binglan told her two brothers what she needed, then began looking for some cloth and an old blanket.
Afterward, she took some rope and asked her parents and third brother to help. Even Liu Yinyin followed suit. Su Binglan had also brought her two nephews back from Blue Mountain Academy.
The two little ones watched from the sidelines and also wanted to help. However, they were still too young, and Shen Qiuhua and the others could not bear to let them contribute lest they get hurt.
Tents in this era could not compare to modern ones, but it was still better than sleeping in the open.
“Oh right, Father and Mother, take out the straw mats we used in the summer.”
If Su Binglan needed anything, everyone would quickly find it. Soon, Su Wenzhe and Su Wenxiu returned. The two brought back many branches, some thick and some thin.
Su Binglan saw it was just right and then taught everyone how to set up tents.
“You must learn seriously and teach Grandpa, Grandma, First Uncle, Third
Ads by Pubfuture Uncle, and the others in a while.’
Su Wenzhe’s expression was solemn as he said thoughtfully, “Little Sister, don’t worry. I’ve been watching every step. I’ll remember them.”
An earthquake was no small matter, so he became serious.
Liu Yinyin was worried about her parents, elder brother, sister-in-law, and nephew, so she also watched and learned from the sidelines while helping to tie things up.
“Binglan, I’ve memorized all the steps. Shall I go to Willow Village and teach my parents now?” She asked for permission to teach her parents because Su Binglan was the one who had the idea first.
Su Binglan said while still busying herself, “Of course. It’s a matter of life and death, after all. Since you’ve memorized all the steps, hurry up and tell them. That way, they can rest for the night.”
Liu Yinyin looked at Su Binglan gratefully and said, “Thank you, Binglan.” “Sister-in-law, you don’t have to be so polite. We’re family.”
Liu Yinyin did not know what else to say to her sister-in-law besides thank her. She was genuinely grateful to Su Binglan.
After setting up the tent, everyone looked at it and thought it was spectacular. They never knew such a thing existed.
Su Wenwu looked at the tent and said, “Little Sister, I went to the northernmost area when I worked at the bodyguard agency. There’s a place where they build such things to live in.
“l heard their residence isn’t fixed, so they bring these tents wherever they go.
Once they rebuild their tents elsewhere, they will stay in them.”
Shen Qiuhua found it strange. “Such a place exists?”
Ads by Pubfuture
The rest of the family had never been to those places and did not know what they were like.
Su Binglan said, “Yes, they should be nomadic people. They graze their sheep. Wherever there is more grass, they will bring their sheep to live there. They also have bags to make their tents easier to move.”
Su Fengmao and the others were curious as they listened. They could imagine that scene in their minds. However, despite their curiosity, they did not like that method and felt uneasy.
The family had a stable home, so they felt more at ease. But now that an earthquake was about to happen, they had no choice but to build such things to sleep in. Still, it looked quite strange to them.
“Father, Mother, go inside and try lying down.” Su Binglan said.
The older couple listened to their daughter and went in. Then they lay down and covered themselves with the blanket, feeling nice and warm. Su Binglan had also put a thick cushion underneath so they would not feel cold inside, even though it was winter.
Su Fengmao was a little surprised. “It’s nice and warm, so you can sleep well here.’
The tent looked small from the outside, but it felt pretty comfortable lying in it.
Shen Qiuhua nodded. “It’s indeed not bad. After all, you’re still the best,
Binglan. Now we don’t have to be afraid even if we sleep in the courtyard.”
Then Su Wenzhe, Su Wenxiu, and Su Wenwu went into the tent to lie dovvn and try it. “It does feel warm and not cold at all. It’s also thick and soft at the bottom.’
“Yeah, it’s comfortable too.’
“But we can only use it to lie down and sleep. I can’t stand up.”
“It’s good enough to sleep in and keep us warm. If not for Binglan, we would freeze by sleeping outside at night.” As Liu Yinyin lay inside the tent, she felt that no matter how harshly the north wind blew, it would not affect her sleep.
‘It’s like a small nest that can keep me warm and protected from the wind. 1 must hurry and teach my parents to build a tent like this. Otherwise, they won’t be able to sleep outside for the next three days.’
Liu Yinyin was worried that her parents’ bodies would be unable to withstand such frigid weather. Her nephew needed a good rest too.
Next, Su Fengmao went to talk to Chief Su and the others about the earthquake. He also taught them how to set up tents.
Meanwhile, Shen Qiuhua went to Old Master Su and Old Madam Su l s house to teach them how to set up tents as her three sons got busy.
Su Binglan set up two bigger tents at home so everyone could rest at night..

Su Binglan built the tent very quickly. After completing its construction, she prepared to inform the villagers about it.
When Chief Su heard that an earthquake would occur in the next three days, his face turned pale. After all, he had a deep impression of earthquakes. He asked, “Did Binglan tell you that?”
Su Fengmao said, “Yes, Binglan says there will be an earthquake within these three days and that we should prepare for it.”
Chief Su responded, “Since what Binglan says is always true, I’ll inform the villagers now.”
Chief Su l s wife also became anxious as an earthquake was not a small matter. “Sound the gongs and drums to inform the villagers.”
They would usually use these instruments to inform everyone about an important matter concerning the village. Therefore, Chief Su immediately sounded the gong this time.
After hearing the alert, everyone came out of their houses. They had already guessed it must have something to do with the earthquake, as most of Su Tengs villagers had already heard the news. Still, everyone hurriedly gathered when Chief Su struck the gong.
Du Xiaoshuan did not go to the village’s gathering place directly. Instead, he went to Li Mei’s house and waited for her first before going there. Li Mei looked at him and felt a sense of security.
She had to do many things alone in the past. She was under tremendous pressure as she had to take on many responsibilities. However, she began to feel a sense of spiritual dependence after getting engaged to Du Xiaoshuan.
She felt like she was no longer the only one bearing her burdens. She felt a sense of sustenance with someone by her side caring for her feelings.
Ads by Pubfuture Meanwhile, Li Shi, Li Dazhuang, and the others also went to the village’s gathering place. Usually, only one member of each family would attend such a gathering. Therefore, every household arranged for one person to attend the gathering.
Seeing that everyone was there, Chief Su told them about the earthquake. “Everyone has heard about the earthquake that would occur within the next three days. An earthquake is not a small matter, and it’s something that can take lives.
“It’s better to believe it than not. It’ll only be three days, so everyone, please persevere. Don’t rest or cook in your houses over the next three days. Stay in your courtyards or wide-open spaces.
“Fengmao will teach everyone how to set up tents later. After setting up your tents, everyone will sleep in them at night. Covering yourselves with thicker clothes will keep you warm.”
Chief Su told the villagers many things to take note of during an earthquake. Since he had prestige in Su Teng Village, everyone listened to him attentively.
“Tent? What’s a tent? Is it like a shed?” @@novelbin@@
Everyone was puzzled while Su Fengmao began setting up a tent as an example. However, he took his time because he had to teach so many people. He taught everyone one step at a time, and people would ask him questions if they did not understand something.
When Su Fengmao finished setting up the tent, everyone finally understood what it was and how it looked.
“So that’s a tent. Can we sleep in such a small place?”
“Can we keep warm inside? It’s winter now, and the weather is freezing.”
Everyone was still doubtful. It was not that they did not believe Su Fengmao, but they noticed how small the tent was. They wondered if the tent could block the cold wind even if it were covered in a blanket outside.
Everyone was puzzled but did not say anything.
Su Fengmao said, “You can all take turns going in to see whether or not it’ll keep you warm.”
Ads by Pubfuture Many villagers went into the tent and were stunned.
“It’s so nice and warm. I don’t feel the cold blowing in.”
“l can hear the wind, but it can’t blow into the tent. Still, we’ll need plenty of blankets.’
“Fortunately, our financial conditions are good now, and everyone can afford blankets.’
“But is there really an earthquake?”
“Don’t worry about believing it or not. It’ll be dangerous if there’s an earthquake, so it’s best to be prepared. We must play it safe, regardless of whether or not the news is true.’
Everyone understood this principle and thought it was better to be prepared. Furthermore, the Su Teng villagers trusted Su Binglan, so they knew what she said should be correct.
Meanwhile, Liu Qiao’s father returned home after attending the gathering and told his family about it. He also told them about setting up a tent.
Liu Qiao’s mother’s face turned pale. “1 knew the gathering was about the earthquake. Let’s remove all our essentials from the house and put them in the courtyard.
“I’ll build a tent for us to sleep in at night. Fortunately, I bought some cotton and made two blankets.’
She was only willing to buy cotton for blankets because her daughter had earned plenty of money as the tofu factorys manager. She knew the blankets would be handy, but it was too late to make more. Still, the family could build two large tents.
Liu Qiao was thinking about Song Yi at that moment. Although the two were not engaged, Liu Qiao had already treated Song Yi as her family. Mrs. Song was good to Liu Qiao, and Liu Qiao’s parents approved of the youngsters being together.
Ads by Pubfuture
Liu Qiao knew Song Yi had brought his mother back to the village and should know about the impending earthquake. However, Song Yi did not know how to set up a tent.
Liu Qiao would have run over to tell Song Yi about it, but she could not leave her family. Moreover, she was a young lady who could not go to a faraway place alone. Hence, she became anxious.
Liu Qiao’s family noticed her absent-mindedness as they set up their tent. Liu
Qiao’s mother asked, “What’s wrong, daughter? Are you scared?”
Liu Qiao shook her head. “Mother, Song Yi knows how to build a tent.”
‘Bluntly put, I fear for Song Yi.’
Liu Qiao’s parents understood what she meant. “You’re worried about him, aren’t you?”
Liu Qiao blushed and nodded.
Liu Qiao’s sister-in-law, Miss Wang, said, “Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, why don’t we let Liu Mu go to Northern Mountain Village and teach Song Yi how to set up a tent? Then he and his family can rest well for the next three days.”
Liu Qiao’s parents had the same intention. After all, Song Yi was a good kid, and his parents treated Liu Qiao well.
Miss Wang worked alongside Mrs. Song in the embroidery shop, so she did not want anything to happen to the older lady and her family.
“Liu Mu, go to Northern Mountain Village later,” said Liu Qiao’s mother.
Liu Qiao’s parents treated Song Yi well because they thought he would treat their daughter well in the future. It was all mutual.
Liu Qiao’s elder brother, Liu Mu, nodded. “Don’t worry, sister. I’ve memorized how to set up the tent. I’ll hurry to Northern Mountain Village in a while.” Liu Qiao looked at her brother apologetically and said, “But it’s so far.” “What are you afraid of? I won’t feel tired even if I run back and forth. I’ll be back sooner than you think.” Liu Mu then went to the Northern Mountain Village.
It was already very late when he arrived at Northern Mountain Village. The Songs felt touched when they saw that Liu Mu had come to help them set up their tent.
“We’ve trouble you to make a trip here.”
“It’s fine, Mr. and Mrs. Song. I’m not tired. My sister wanted to come personally because she was worried about you guys. We didn’t want her to come here alone, so I came instead.’
Upon hearing this, Song Yi’s heart burned passionately..

Liu Qiao’s figure filled Song Yi’s mind while his heart burned passionately. He wanted to see her as soon as possible. He did not know why he missed her even though they usually saw each other during the day.
Mrs. Song wanted her son and Liu Qiao to quickly get engaged to each other before New Year. After all, she knew Liu Qiao was a good girl, so she had to settle her son down.
Du Xiaoshuan did not go home after learning to set up a tent. Instead, he went to Li Mei’s house to help her build one. She was touched by his actions but said, “Go home and build your mother and sister a tent. I can handle this one.”
“It’s okay since it’s still early in the afternoon. I’ll go home and help them after I finish helping you.” Du Xiaoshuan could not bear to see Li Mei tire herself out. Therefore, he took the initiative to help.
Li Mei’s heart ached as she watched his busy figure. She did not want him to tire himself out either since he had done much for her. Li Mei remembered everything Du Xiaoshuan did for her and her family.
Du Xiaoshuan continued setting up the tent while Li Mei helped him. Then Li Mei’s siblings came to help. The little ones had already thought of Du Xiaoshuan as their brother-in-law.
Moreover, Du Xiaoshuan was good to them, and they could feel it. They liked Du Xiaoshuan and treated him as the older brother they had always wanted. The family would feel insecure without him, so they felt secure whenever he was around.
Du Xiaoshuan was responsible for setting up the tent while Li Mei helped him. Sometimes, he accidentally touched her fingers whenever he took something from her.
Their fingers would tingle when they touched, and their heartbeats would quicken. The couple quickly moved their fingers away, pretended nothing had happened, and continued their task. Their faces and ears would also turn red whenever this happened.
The two were so shy that they dared not look at each other, so they could only continue setting up the tent.
“All done,” Du Xiaoshuan said after completing the setup. His heart was still pounding, and he did not know what else to say.
“Yes!” Even Li Mei’s mind went blank.
Ads by Pubfuture Li Wei looked at Du Xiaoshuan and her elder sister’s weird expressions and could not help but laugh. “Sister, last night you said you would cook two poached eggs for Xiaoshuan the next time he comes.”
Li Mei returned to her senses after hearing her sister’s voice. Li Mei said, “I’ll cook you a poached egg, Xiaoshuan.”
She knew Du Xiaoshuan would be tired from all the work. She wanted to cook two poached eggs for him to eat because it was nutritious.
She had also heard from Du Xiaoju that Du Xiaoshuan liked eating poached eggs when he was a kid, so she wanted to make them for him.
Du Xiaoshuan returned to his senses when he heard what Li Mei said. “No, that’s okay. I’ve already eaten lunch, so I’m not hungry now.”
“I’ll be done in just a bit. You should have some, even if you’re not hungry.” Li Mei insisted on making poached eggs, no matter what Du Xiaoshuan thought. She made two poached eggs with brown sugar for him.
Although her family’s conditions had improved, Li Mei and her siblings were usually reluctant to put brown sugar in their food. However, she added some to Du Xiaoshuan’s food.
The poached eggs were delicious, and the brown sugar sauce was sweet. Li Mei insisted on giving them to Du Xiaoshuan.
He knew she was frugal, so he was reluctant to eat, so he insisted that Li Mei t s siblings eat instead. Du Xiaoshuan was not selfish and felt he should first give Li Mei and her siblings good food.
Afterward, he went home and helped his family set up their tent.
The workers at the pottery workshop in Willow Village had also received Su Binglan’s notice. She told them to rest and prepare for the earthquake.
After receiving the news, Tao Dayong became worried about Shi Fang. Since that was the case, he was absent-minded as he helped to pack the things at home.
When Miss Li saw her eldest son’s expression, she knew what was on his mind. “Are you worried about Shi Fang?”
Tao Dayong nodded. “l wonder if she has received the news.”
Ads by Pubfuture He was fine whenever he was busy but always thought about her when he was not. Tao Dayong and Shi Fang would walk around together whenever Shi Fang had a day off. Tao Dayong even brought her to the workshop once and showed her around.
He was not talkative but always talked a lot around Shi Fang. In addition, he liked listening to Shi Fang speak because she would tell him many stories, and he could remember everything she said.
Since an earthquake was not a small matter, Tao Dayong feared for Shi Fang, and his expression revealed it. After some thought, he said, “Mother, I’m going to Stone Village.”
Miss Li knew her son wanted to go there to visit Shi Fang. “Yes, you can go. You don’t have to worry about us. Your father, brother, and I will be in the courtyard. We’ll be okay if we don’t go into the house.”
She did not want her son to worry. She was also happy to see how much her son liked Shi Fang. After all, Miss Li only wanted her son to live a happy life, especially since he was always so dull and uninterested in anything in the past.
However, Tao Dayong often smiled since he got engaged to Shi Fang. He seemed to love life a lot more. It was a good sign, and Miss Li was delighted to see it.
Still, the earthquake was coming, and she could not let anything happen to Shi Fang. Miss Li feared what would happen to her son if anything happened to Shi Fang.
Tao Dayong nodded and got on the oxcart to hurry to Stone Village. Miss Li thought of something and took something out of the room, saying, “This is the chicken I prepared to stew tonight. Take it to Shi Fang so she can nourish her body.”
“Mother, this is our dinner.” Although Tao Dayong was worried about his fiancee, he still cared for his parents.
Miss Li said smilingly, “We have plenty of food and chickens at home. You can’t go to Shi Fangs house empty-handed. We’re family now, so it doesn’t matter who eats the chicken.’
Then Tao Dayong placed the chicken on the oxcart and went to Stone Village.
Meanwhile, Shi Fang felt very uneasy after hearing about the earthquake. She was worried about Tao Dayong and wondered if he had heard the news.
Shi Fang had a good relationship with Yang Lingling, who worked in the embroidery shop. Since Yang Lingling was also from Willow Village, she said she would help inform Tao Dayong and his family about the earthquake.
However, Shi Fang was unsure if Yang Lingling remembered to do so. Therefore, Shi Fang wondered if Tao Dayong knew about it and wanted to go to Willow Village to see him.
Shi Fang had been to Willow Village before on her day off. Tao Dayong drove an oxcart to bring her to the workshop that day. That was also the first time she saw him making porcelain, and she became fascinated by it. She felt a sense of sweetness whenever she thought of that scene.
While anxiously standing at her house entrance with her head lowered, she looked up and saw an oxcart approaching. She saw Tao Dayong from afar and felt her heart immediately come alive.@@novelbin@@

Shi Fang was excited when she saw Tao Dayong. She looked at him with bright eyes and could not look away. She finally felt like her heart could settle down.
Meanwhile, Tao Dayongs mood brightened when he saw Shi Fang. He could not describe how he felt but knew he was happy. He sped up the oxcart, and Shi Fang took a few steps toward him.
Then Tao Dayong got off the oxcart and led it to Shi Fang. He smiled shyly at her, saying, “l brought you a chicken to stew so you can nourish your body.” Chickens were an excellent tonic for farmers, so Shi Fang felt warm in her heart. She said, ‘You keep bringing me delicious food that I’ve gained weight.”
She knew she had put on weight recently because she had been eating the delicious food Tao Dayong constantly brought her. The people at the embroidery shop would envy her whenever Tao Dayong visited.
Tao Dayong said innocently, “It’s good you’ve put on some weight. You look healthier like this.’
Shi Fang pouted. “So you’re saying I didn’t look good because of how skinny I was?”
The couple was familiar with each other, and Shi Fang would occasionally make a fuss with Tao Dayong. She knew he would indulge her but did not want him to worry.
Tao Dayong noticed his fiancee pouting and became anxious. He said, “N-No, you look great either way. 1-1 don’t know what I was saying. Please don’t be mad at me.’
He feared he had angered her and often became more anxious than anyone else whenever Shi Fang got angry.
Shi Fang noticed her fiance’s anxious expression and tugged at his sleeve. “Alright, I’m not angry. I was just joking with you.”
Ads by Pubfuture Her heart softened when she saw him trying to explain himself. ‘How can he be so silly? He can’t bear to see me sad, but I don’t want to bully him.’
Shi Fang just wanted to hug Tao Dayong when she saw how anxious he had gotten.
Tao Dayong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Shi Fang smiling instead of being angry. ‘She got me worked up for a moment.’
He was always good-tempered whenever faced with Shi Fang. He asked,
“Aren’t you cold standing here?”
He was worried she would catch a cold since he had seen her standing at the house entrance just now. He wanted to warm her hands with his but thought it was inappropriate and could only stand still.
Then he tried taking some of his clothes to put on Shi Fang to keep her warm, but she shook her head and said, “No, there’s no need.’
She felt pretty cold as she stood at the door earlier but no longer did after seeing her fiance. Instead, she felt warm inside. “Quick, come inside.”
She was also afraid he would catch a cold, so she hurriedly invited him into the house. Her parents and brother were delighted to see Tao Dayong.
He explained his intention for coming over, and Shi Fang learned he was there to tell them about the earthquake. Tao Dayong feared she would not know about it and would be in danger.
Shi Fang would be lying if she said she did not feel touched. She knew Tao
Dayong was not very good at sweet-talking, but she did. She was very meticulous and could think of many things to say. “Were you worried about me? Is that why you came here?”
‘He should be aware that I already knew about the earthquake since I work at the embroidery shop, and we’re on a three-day leave. Still, he can’t feel at ease until he comes here to tell me about it himself.
Ads by Pubfuture ‘He always puts in so much effort,’ Shi Fang felt a sense of sweetness in her heart as she thought of this.
Tao Dayong did not know what else to say besides, “l was worried you didn’t know about the earthquake.”
“Don’t worry. We know about it. Shi Fang thought you didn’t know, so she wandered around the house entrance. She even told us she wanted to go to Willow Village to tell you about the earthquake.” Mrs. Shi smiled.
“Since we don’t have an oxcart, we worried about her leaving Willow Village alone. We didn’t expect you to come, but since you’re already here, you two won’t have to worry about each other anymore.
“You haven’t had dinner yet, right? We built a stove in the courtyard; your future father-in-law will cook later. You’re welcome to join us.”
Tao Dayong wanted to decline, but Mr. and Mrs. Shi had warmly invited him for dinner, so he stayed.
Soon after, the chief of Stone Village informed everyone about the earthquake and even instructed everyone to set up tents. Things were the same in Willow Village and others, too.@@novelbin@@
When Su Binglan previously visited the county magistrate’s place, she did not see him around. Meng Ce had gone to handle some matters and only returned in the afternoon.
Old Madam Feng was anxious to tell him something, and his expression changed when he heard about the earthquake.
An earthquake was no small matter as it concerned the entire county’s safety, and there were several towns, villages, and countless people there.
“Mother, is that true?” Meng Ce l s face turned pale. “Where did you hear this news from?”
His heart was in his throat, and he knew he had to be cautious.

“Miss Su was the one who told me. She says an earthquake will happen within the next three days. Also…” Old Madam Feng told her son everything Su Binglan had said.
She knew her son would have his opinions about this. Meng Ce was talented and would just be a county magistrate as he targeted an essential position in the imperial court.
He wanted to work in the imperial court in the capital. Therefore, he had his rules and principles.
However, an earthquake would be too serious, and Old Madam Fengs expression was severe.
After some thought, Meng Ce said, “Usually, no one can predict earthquakes, but there’s an exception.”
“An exception?”
‘Could anyone predict an earthquake?’
Meng Ce asked, “Mother, do you remember Princess Lan?”
Everyone knew about Princess Lan, especially Old Madam Feng. After all, there were many legends about the young princess.
“Of course, I remember,” Old Madam Feng sighed, “Although it has already been three years since she passed away, her intelligence is unparalleled.”
Old Madam Feng came from the Feng family that lived in the capital, so she naturally knew about Princess Lan. If not for the young princess’s weak body, the current situation in Chu Country would still be unknown.
Princess Lan Ruobing used her power to protect many people, including her twin brother. Otherwise, King Lan Ruozhu, the heir to the deceased royal’s mansion, would have died long ago.
Meanwhile, the emperor did many nefarious things behind the scenes, but the core figures of the influential families knew about them. They could not maintain their status in the power vortex if they did not discover some information prior.
“What a pity that she passed so young!’
‘It’s unfortunate that she is already gone. She was intelligent and kind. She had helped and saved many people. Even now, many still miss her and are grateful to her.’
Meng Ce said lowly, “There was once an earthquake at the border, and Princess Lan predicted it. That was why the Wei army knew about it and evacuated the people at the border.
“Also, the locals in the border provinces didn’t know the emperor. They only
knew the Wei family’s army..”

The vanguard general had guarded the areas of the border province and saved the people there many times, especially from that earthquake, which allowed the Wei family to win the people’s hearts.
According to the rumors, the Wei family had taken measures to evacuate some people in advance because Princess Lan had predicted the earthquake. However, it was only a rumor people had overheard. No one knew the specifics.
Still, the truth was that the Wei Family Army had taken precautions. Although the earthquake was massive, there were almost no casualties among the people at the border.
The commoners of the border provinces and border pass said the Wei Family Army was their savior, especially since they considered Wei Jin’an their God of War. Unfortunately, such a young war god had been sacrificed.
However, Meng Ce did not believe Major General Wei had sacrificed himself. Meng Ce knew something suspicious had happened to the Wei family army and would sigh whenever he thought of it.
Old Madam Feng asked, “So, a prediction of an earthquake had happened before? If so, Miss Su isn’t an ordinary person. If she says there’s an impending earthquake, we must believe her.
“It’s always better to be safe than sorry. Who knows how many people will die if an earthquake does happen?”
Old Madam Feng had an impression of earthquakes. She had seen many refugees lose their homes after that. She was still young then and even served porridge alongside her parents to the victims.
However, there would be plagues if there were too many refugees after the previous earthquake. If these problems arose, Meng Ce could not quickly return to the imperial court.
He thought briefly before saying, “Mother, do you believe Miss Su?”
Old Madam Feng said solemnly, “Yes, I do. I don’t know why, but I feel a sense of closeness whenever I see her. I also feel like 1 can’t help but trust her because her words are so convincing. It’s such a strange feeling.”
She was a noble daughter of the Feng family and had met many people. Still, none had ever given her such a feeling. Therefore, she believed Su Binglan’s words without hesitation.
“Besides, she saved Bin.’
Ads by Pubfuture Old Madam Feng had mentioned Meng Bin, Meng Ce l s son, so he fell silent for a while before saying, “Mother, if we tell everyone in the county that there will be an earthquake within the next three days and tell them to prepare for it, it’ll be troublesome for us to explain ourselves if an earthquake doesn’t happen.
Since he was the county magistrate, people would magnify every word he said. “Also, how do we explain to people how we know there’s an impending earthquake?”
Old Madam Feng said, “Miss Su thought of this. She said her master had passed by a particular place and observed the celestial phenomena at night. He said there would be an earthquake in the next three days.
“If anyone asks about the master, we won’t know who he is. Even if they can guess, they’ll only think he’s reclusive. Oh, Miss Su also taught me to build a tent.”
Ultimately, Meng Ce used his identity as the county magistrate to inform everyone about the earthquake and told them to take precautions. He also arranged for people to tell the commoners to go to a safe place and teach them to set up tents.
Since the county magistrate had personally informed everyone of this, many people believed the news and began to prepare. The county had many towns and villages, so Meng Ce arranged for people to inform every village and town.
Everyone was so nervous on the first night that they stayed in open spaces and dared not enter their houses. Still, they could not even sleep for the entire night.
However, there was no earthquake on the first day, causing everyone to become suspicious.
“The weather seems fine. Will there really be an earthquake?” “It can’t be fake, right?”
“Our county magistrate is good. Why would he lie to us?”
“It’s best for everyone to play it safe. He has already said an earthquake will happen in three days. If it doesn’t happen on the first or second day, it might happen on the third.”
Everyone was exhausted on the first day, so many people went inside their houses to sleep during the day. However, each family arranged for one person to take turns keeping guard outside.
The following night, many still dared not sleep. They could only yawn and observe their homes. However, most could no longer take it and slept inside their houses in the night’s second half.
These people thought no one could predict an earthquake and that it was fake news. They had heard that Meng Ce had learned about the earthquake from a reclusive master, and perhaps the master was a liar.
Therefore, most did not quite believe the news and returned to their rooms to sleep. They reckoned it was better to sleep in their houses since it was winter.
Ads by Pubfuture Meanwhile, the rest slept in their tents. These people were light sleepers and were very nervous. They feared the earthquake would happen too suddenly. However, resting in a tent did not feel as good as resting in their houses, so they could not sleep soundly.
Many families only had one or two blankets at home and could not set up tents, so they could only sleep in the open spaces outside their homes. Those who could set up tents were from wealthier families from Su Teng Village.
Most people from other villages had to sleep outside with no tent. Most were so tired that they gave up waiting and returned to their houses to sleep, while the rest insisted on staying outside and not sleeping.
Still, the weather was too cold for them to sleep in the open. Furthermore, these people did not wear much and could only move around to prevent themselves from freezing.
However, nothing happened the following night, so everyone became even more doubtful.
“There shouldn’t be any earthquakes. It’s been fine for the past two days.”
“Exactly. We haven’t slept and had to stay outside for the past two days. I’m too tired for this.’
“It should be fine. Let’s go back into our houses and sleep. We’ll be fine sleeping in our rooms.”
“What the county magistrate said might not be true.”@@novelbin@@
“Also, I heard the Su family spread this news. The Su family are just ordinary people, not gods. How would they know there will be an earthquake?”
“That’s right. Don’t just take everything they say to heart. Just do what you need to do.’
“Exactly. It’s cold outside, and I don’t want my child to catch a cold.”
“Let’s go back to our rooms and sleep. We’ll just run out if there are any movements. The weather looks pretty good to me.”
Most had returned to their homes to sleep on the third night. They could no longer take it after staying outside for two days without sleep. Many believed they could return to their homes as the first half of the third day still showed no signs of an earthquake.
However, the earthquake finally revealed itself in the middle of the night. The ground shook violently, scaring everyone, especially the older people who recalled their past experiences with an earthquake.
“Earthquake! Earthquake! Run outside quickly!
Boom!
The people who remained outside were safe, but those who returned to their houses to sleep got trapped by their collapsed houses. Some ran fast, and their houses were sturdy enough for them to escape in the nick of time.
However, those who lived in less sturdy houses and reacted too late got crushed..
