Two days later, Yuanyuan went to the kitchen to get some silver charcoal. On the way, she heard a few old women huddled together and gossiping.

"I said, that child looks like the prince."

"The prince and his cousin are having an affair?"

"Yes, hidden in a place like South City."

"Isn't the Crown Prince's wife going crazy?"

"Yeah, they're making a fuss!"

……

The maids left while talking. Yuanyuan stood up after watching them go far away and walked towards Qingpu Courtyard with confidence.

When he arrived at the courtyard, he told Xie Zhaozhao everything that had happened.

Manman whispered, "That's strange, who told the Second Miss?"

"The maids said someone delivered a letter to Fanghua Garden."

Xie Zhaozhao was writing a letter to Dongqin. According to his memories from his previous life, the earthquake in Zhongzhou would take another day or two.

I was stunned after hearing Yuanyuan’s words.

She had planned to tell Xie Xiangxiang the news when Guan Yingying came back. Don't you like catching adulterers? Let her catch them all in her life!

Someone actually gave Xie Xiangxiang the news before her! Who is this?

Well, let her fight with Tu! It won't affect my big plan.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a report from the courtyard: "The elder is back."

Xie Zhaozhao hurried him in and saw that he looked exhausted and his lips were chapped and cracked.

She brought him a bowl of lotus seed soup and said, "Qiu Zao, drink some quickly."

Gu Shaoyu has been busy with court affairs these two days and has not returned home.

Normally when I eat lotus seed soup, I would eat it with a spoon, but today I just picked it up and poured it into my stomach.

After finishing a bowl, he said to Xie Zhaozhao, "Is there any porridge?"

A bowl of mung bean porridge was quickly served: "Son-in-law, why are you so hungry?"

Yuanyuan saw that Nanxing also looked exhausted, so she quickly served him a bowl of mung bean porridge. Nanxing drank it while saying, "The elder has been dealing with memorials from other places these past two days and nights."

Gu Shaoyu drank two bowls of porridge before he recovered.

"Zhao Zhao, there is a real possibility of a huge disaster happening in Zhongzhou."

Gu Shaoyu received an urgent message these two days that local people saw all kinds of strange clouds appearing in the sky.

"In the gloomy sky, a bright, strangely shaped cloud suddenly appeared, like a giant mushroom."

"This cloud not only has a strange shape, but also a special color, neither red nor purple, which is very different from the clouds I have seen before."

"In the suburban counties of Zhongzhou, an old farmer also discovered a strange phenomenon. The dark sky was illuminated as bright as day."

"Sometimes there were red streaks in the sky, like a bright sunset glow, and sometimes there were blue streaks that looked like a low dawn."

Very unusual anyway.

Gu Shaoyu had heard Xie Zhaozhao dream about an earthquake in Central China, so he believed it and took precautions. He carefully arranged people, and the information was obtained by using special falcons to transmit messages.

Xie Zhaozhao’s face turned pale, it looked like there was really going to be another earthquake!

Even if she was reborn, she would not be able to control such a disaster.

Gu Shaoyu held her hand, patted her back, and comforted her: "Don't worry, you told me about the dream last time, and I have already ordered the officials of Zhongzhou Prefecture to prepare for the autumn harvest, reinforce the houses, and make arrangements for escape."

However, it is difficult to guarantee the execution ability of those officials.

After all, it was just a dream of Xie Zhaozhao. As a cabinet minister, if he said too much, it would easily cause panic among the people and even more likely lead to man-made disasters.

"I haven't been back these past two days because I've been paying close attention to this matter. I showed His Majesty the letter sent by Yingshuan and called everyone from the Imperial History Bureau to come. After analysis, they confirmed that there is a real possibility of an earthquake in Zhongzhou."

The entire court was on high alert and made various arrangements for Zhongzhou.

All arrangements were made in secret, and only officials of the second rank and above were qualified to participate.

The two talked for a while, and then Gu Shaoyu took off his shoes and socks and went to take a shower.

"I'm going to wash it, it's all rotten."

Xie Zhaozhao prepared all his spare clothes.

Staring blankly in the bedroom.

It would be best if there was no earthquake in this life. Even though she had stockpiled so much food, she would rather the food fell into her hands than have a natural disaster happen.

"Madam?" Yuanyuan knocked on the door.

Xie Zhaozhao went out immediately and asked, "What's the matter?"

"There are rumors that there will be an earthquake. Everyone is rushing to buy food overnight. The price of food has increased fivefold." Yuanyuan had just come back from outside, her eyes shining. The master and servant understood each other tacitly.

“When did this start spreading?”

"Early this morning, news came out that there were unusual celestial phenomena. It became more and more bizarre, and people started snatching food, salt, quilts and other things."

The largest grain merchant in the capital is Wu Chaohui. Although he is not an imperial merchant, he is ranked among the top three grain merchants in the entire Daqian.

Wu Zhaohui's granddaughter was the concubine of Wei Shixun, the seventh grandson of Duke Cheng'en.

The reason why Duke Cheng'en was willing to let his grandson marry the granddaughter of a merchant was naturally because of his wealthy family background.

This time, the Wu Family Rice Shop took the lead in raising the price fivefold. If it weren't for the information provided by the Cheng'en Mansion, no one would believe it.

"Madam, our food..."

"Keep your troops still." Xie Zhaozhao said softly.

Yuanyuan left. Xie Zhaozhao felt uneasy but did not show it on his face.

When she returned to the bedroom, Gu Shaoyu had already finished showering. His long wet hair hung on his shoulders and his eyes were staring straight at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xie Zhaozhao took a cloth to wipe his hair, and Gu Shaoyu suddenly asked, "Do you have any more?"

"Which one?" Xie Zhaozhao was stunned.

"Just, that." He turned his head and glanced somewhere, then his dark and deep eyes looked into hers again, full of desire.

Xie Zhaozhao suddenly realized that he was asking about menstruation.

It's already eight days today, it's already clean.

Her face immediately turned red, and she tapped his head: "Aren't you very tired?"

He held her hand and said, "But seeing you makes me less tired - is that okay?"

While Xie Zhaozhao was wiping his hair, he whispered, "Aren't you very knowledgeable? Guess what."

When Gu Shaoyu heard this, he knew it was definitely gone.

He immediately took her hand away, used a towel to wipe his hair vigorously until it was half dry, buried his face in her shoulder and said, "I miss you so much..."

A wall came down.

Although he was a civil servant, he had been exercising continuously for many years, so his fingertips were slightly rough, and they scraped across her smooth and white neck bit by bit.

He put his head close to her ear, and his long hair hung down, rubbing against her neck, making her body feel numb and itchy.

"Little boy..."

"Mr. Ge!"

Gu Shaoyu hooked the hair on her shoulders with two fingers and played with it.

Under his fingers, the touch was soft, delicate and smooth, like white porcelain, like cheese, like solidified fat, like every inch of his skin trembling when he was aroused.

"Not behaving well?"

"Master..." He laughed dully.

He gritted his teeth, Master?

His eyes darkened and he bit her delicate neck, neither lightly nor heavily, like a bite or a kiss.

"Husband..." I was wrong!

The sparkling eyes, the gentle and smart smile, the slender legs, wrapped around the waist like vines.

Her fingertips stroked his proud nose, cool thin lips, chiseled chin, and sexy Adam's apple, and she called softly, "Husband."

"good!"

His lips and tongue covered her savagely.

He almost swallowed her with a domineering and crazy attitude of possession, like a thirsty person holding sweet water and letting out a faint sigh as his thirst was satisfied.

A love affair completely diverted the uneasiness in her heart.
