Reborn to be replaced, remarried to the royal palace to raise children and train husband

"Miss, the few shops we arranged have already accepted a large number of people who have been relocated. Seeing this, the nearby businesses have also followed suit, suspended business, and taken in many of the victims."

Jiang Ye added: "When the inn owners learned that it was Prince Duan's Mansion that was going to take in the people affected by the disaster, they all took the initiative to waive their room fees. Except for the rooms that had been booked, all other rooms were open to the public."

"Considering that the inn didn't charge for rooms, I took the initiative to use the silver to buy ginger and asked the inn to make ginger soup to distribute to the people affected by the disaster."

Gu Qinlan nodded with satisfaction and praised: "You have done an excellent job. Later, send people to deliver some rice to each resettlement site, and let them build a fire to cook some hot porridge for the people."

The servants who went to the east of the city did not return until late at night.

There were more than thirty servants in Prince Duan's mansion, the youngest in their teens and the oldest in their thirties or forties, and they all came out this time.

They spared no effort to assist the people in the east of the city to evacuate. They were so tired that they could not even speak, and some were even slightly injured, but there was a determination gleam in their eyes.

Gu Qinlan carefully examined the casualties caused by Luo Feng, personally diagnosed their pulses, and then prescribed several doses of cold-dispelling medicine. The injured men were also carefully cared for to ensure that they could recover as soon as possible. In addition, she generously gave each of them two taels of silver as a reward.

The servants, who had been filled with dissatisfaction, were all filled with joyful smiles after receiving this unexpected reward. Deep down, they even hoped that they would have the opportunity to join the ranks of helping the people again the next day.

Unfortunately, however, today's transfer mission has been successfully completed, and the good deeds they longed for no longer have a place to be performed.

The continuous heavy rain lasted for three or four days before it gradually stopped.

The eastern part of the city was hit by the flood and became a mess. Countless houses were ruthlessly destroyed. Many people who lost their homes could not help but burst into tears and were heartbroken.

The Ji family's old house was not spared from the natural disaster and most of it collapsed.

Old Madam Ji looked at the ruins soaked in water, stamped her feet anxiously and cried, "Oh my God, how can we survive! Master, I have failed you!" After a sad wail, Old Madam Ji's eyes widened and she fainted.

Others might think that Madam Ji fell into a coma due to excessive grief over the destruction of her home, but in fact, the reason why Madam Ji broke down emotionally was that her husband's spirit tablet was forgotten at home and now buried under the ruins. She was filled with guilt and self-blame.

Although there are many people like her who lose control of their emotions, such situations have not attracted much attention.

Seeing his mother fainted on the ground, Ji Yinli was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, shouting loudly. The members of the other two branches of the Ji family were also extremely anxious, but everyone present forgot to send Madam Ji to the clinic for treatment.

Gu Qinlan witnessed the Ji family's farce from afar and couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

In her previous life, she had worked hard and made great contributions to the Ji family, but Old Madam Ji always pretended to be sick to torture her, forcing her to serve by her side all the time, ordering her around, yet she always found fault with her for not being diligent enough.

But now, Old Madam Ji really fainted on the ground, but none of those so-called filial sons and daughters-in-law really cared about her life or death.

Retracting her gaze, Gu Qinlan turned to Jiang Ye who was following behind her and said, "Let's set up a porridge shed here to provide some substantial assistance to these people who are rebuilding their homes."

Since it is not possible to help rebuild houses, it is still within our ability to provide everyone with enough food and clothing.

Jiang Ye immediately began to make arrangements.

After inspecting the disaster, Gu Qinlan was about to leave when someone suddenly recognized her: "Madam of the Crown Prince!"

"Madam, thank you for providing us with shelter these past few days, saving us from being blown away by the wind and rain. I am very grateful."

At that exciting moment, the gentleman's blood boiled. He held his family's hands tightly, led them to Gu Qinlan, and knelt down without hesitation.

The whole family was ready to bow down to her.

People around were attracted by the actions of this family and came over to pay their respects to Gu Qinlan.

Seeing this, Gu Qinlan quickly dissuaded them: "Please don't do this, everyone. I haven't done anything earth-shattering. I just did my little bit. I really can't bear such a heavy heart from you."

A woman was so emotional that her face flushed and she cried, "No, Madam, we are so grateful for your kindness. If it weren't for your generosity, my two sickly children would have died of hunger and cold. You not only saved my two children, but also saved our entire family. We have no way to repay this great kindness, and can only express our gratitude with the most sincere kowtow."

The others also nodded, expressing their deep agreement with the woman's words.

They may not have noticed it before, but this heavy rain made them truly witness Gu Qinlan's kind heart.

If she hadn't stepped forward and actively tried to rescue them, other officials would probably have turned a blind eye. In their eyes, as long as there weren't too many casualties, their official positions would have been preserved.

As for those profit-seeking merchant families, it is even more impossible to lend them a helping hand.

However, in this disaster, Prince Duan's Mansion took the lead in action. Those officials no longer dared to stand idly by. They opened their own shops, took in the affected people, and set up big pots to cook food and prepare medicine for them.

It is precisely such measures that allow them to survive the cold and hunger and avoid the invasion of diseases.

This is undoubtedly the greatest blessing in this natural disaster.

Although the people insisted on kowtowing to Gu Qinlan, Gu Qinlan refused to accept their kneeling.

"My fellow villagers, my dear uncles, brothers and sisters, I was born in the embrace of the Golden Capital. Seeing my hometown being hit by heavy rain, my heart is like a raging sea, and I am extremely anxious. I did this not to win your gratitude, but from the bottom of my heart, hoping to provide some assistance to my fathers and fellow villagers so that you will suffer less. However, my ability is limited and I can't do more.

Several women were so moved that they burst into tears, their voices trembling: "Madam, we will always remember your kindness. If it weren't for your generosity, this natural disaster would have claimed countless innocent lives. We are grateful for your help, and we will always remember your kindness."

Gu Qinlan held the woman's hand tightly and said firmly, "Sister, don't cry. We will definitely be able to get through this together."

The older sister nodded excitedly, with a determined light in her eyes.

Gu Qinlan turned around, her eyes sweeping over everyone present: "Please rest assured, the porridge shed will remain open. Whenever you feel tired, hungry or thirsty, you can come and enjoy the hot porridge, quench your thirst and rest. Please be sure to boost morale and remember that the current predicament is only temporary. Everything will get better in the end. We will rebuild our homes, and the new houses will definitely look brand new."
