Shu Jiaying hadn't expected them to progress this far. She said to Hong Xiaofan, "Ms. Hong, quickly inform your family and ask them to leave. Ningxia...you stay with Miss Hong. If you can't make it, we'll meet in Fengyun Town later."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Holding Hong Xiaofan's hand again, Kang Ningxia left the palace that had become ruins.
Yu Chenfeng and Shu Jiaying rushed to Zhenghe Hall.
When they arrived at Zhenghetang, it had been devastated by the earthquake, just like the shops along the way. However, Yu Chenfeng and Shu Jiaying saw Yao Dahai, Guan Yaoguan and Xiaohua at the gate of Zhenghetang.
Seeing that Yao Dahai's forehead was bandaged with gauze, Shu Jiaying hurried forward and asked, "Godfather, what's wrong with your head injury?"
"Nothing, just a little thing."
Guan Yaoer came out to explain immediately.
"This damn old man is so desperate! He didn't run away even though he knew there was such a big danger. He even rushed into the palace to save Xiaohua and me. If anything happens to this old man because of this, I will never be able to rest in peace for the rest of my life!"
"So that's how it is, Boss Guan. Don't blame my godfather. Facts have proven that in my godfather's heart, you are more important than his life. From now on, you must hold hands well with each other, and the three of you will never leave each other again."
When Xiaohua heard Shu Jiaying say this, she took the initiative to hold Guan Yaoer and Yao Dahai's hands.
"Mom...if you like Doctor Yao, I don't mind him being my father, but you have to promise me that you will never abandon me again, okay?"
"You called me... mother?"
Finally hearing Xiaohua no longer call her Sister Rabbit, Guan Yaoer was so moved that tears filled her eyes. She hugged Xiaohua in her arms.
Yao Dahai took the opportunity to protect the two women, one big and one small, in front of him.
Shu Jiaying was very happy that the family of three had such a happy ending. She thought of the servants in the palace and asked, "Boss Guan, you are all out. What about the maids and servants in the palace? How are they now?"
"Princess Chen, don't worry. After we were safely evacuated, I gave them some resettlement money to let them leave temporarily. However, I used that money from the loans you earned. Will you... blame me?"
"Of course not. Money can be earned again if lost. Besides, this is a critical period. Life is more important."
"That's good, Princess Chen. I was really worried that you would blame me for messing with your money."
"Alright... stop talking, Boss Guan, let's get out of here!"
"Well, anyway, I've already packed your and Prince Chen's things for you. We can leave anytime, but do we really not have to wait for Master Kang?"
Shu Jiaying smiled and shook her head.
"No need, because he already has someone he wants to take care of. Kang Ningxia has grown up."
Holding Yu Chenfeng's hand, the group was about to leave when the ground suddenly shook violently again. Shu Jiaying's face turned pale. She said to Yu Chenfeng and the others, "I think it's too late. Let's quickly flee back to the Imperial Palace's Imperial Garden. The terrain there is slightly higher than Ningcheng, so we can still hold out for a while if danger occurs."
Seeing the people scurrying around in the streets like ants, Shu Jiaying quickly said to them, "Follow me to the palace. It will be safer there."
