Burned to Death by Family, Reborn to Empty Mother's House to Marry the Crown Prince

In her past life, Su LiLuo sacrificed everything for Prince Chu’s grand ambitions. She agreed to a proxy marriage with the crippled Crown Prince, disregarding her reputation and using her charm t...

Chapter 266 How could someone who has seen an eagle choose a pheasant?

But why did Su Liluo and the others predict a different date?

She has memories of her previous life!

Despite seeing the supervisor's confident demeanor, Xiao Churen still couldn't quite believe it.

He tried hard to recall when it rained at this time in his previous life, but found that he couldn't remember at all.

His memories were all of major events, such as natural disasters or changes in the court. He had no interest in remembering when it rained!

"Your Highness, you can rest assured. I have been able to predict the weather for so many years and have almost never been wrong. I suppose the Crown Princess and the others predicted the day before I said that they wanted to ask that Taoist priest to perform a ritual."

"If we keep them under control and prevent them from using any tricks, they'll definitely fail!"

"A Taoist priest performing a ritual?"

Xiao Churen asked in confusion.

"Yes, Your Highness, rain can be prayed for, especially on days close to when it will actually rain. As long as you find someone with some skill, you can get it."

I reckon the Crown Princess must have secretly arranged for someone to hide in the capital the day before to pray for rain. If we can find those people, we can not only prevent their rainmaking from failing, but also accuse them of cheating!

"I am confident," the supervisor said.

When he saw that the Taoist priest invited by the Crown Princess predicted the time the day before his own prediction, he felt that they must be trying to pray for rain.

Because the intervals are so close, the success rate of praying for rain is very high when it happens before or after the heavens are already preparing to send rain. This is a principle that all those who study Taoism understand.

After hearing what the supervisor said, Xiao Churen also felt that there seemed to be some truth to it.

He doesn't even remember which day it rained at this time in his previous life, so how did Su Liluo know?

It's not like any natural disaster has occurred, so Su Liluo must be trying to cheat to pray for rain.

With that thought in mind, Xiao Churen decided to investigate thoroughly on that day and find evidence that Su Liluo had sent people to pray for rain.

On the other side.

Gao Yufei and the others also learned about Su Liluo's competition with the Imperial Observatory. After making inquiries from various sources, she confirmed that the Imperial Observatory of Daliang was extremely accurate in predicting the weather and had almost never made a mistake over the years.

She became even more confident.

If Su Liluo loses completely this time, then the Emperor of Liang will have to believe in that Venus prophecy, and then he can make her divorce the Crown Prince.

Gao Yufei felt increasingly lightheaded as she thought about it.

Coincidentally, on this day, she and her brother Gao Junning went to a restaurant for dinner and came across Su Liluo's restaurant, where they ran into Su Liluo and Chu Yan.

Gao Yufei naturally couldn't resist going up to 'say hello'.

"Oh, so the Crown Princess actually has the leisure to visit a restaurant today? Is she worried that once she marries into our Northern Desert, she won't be able to eat your Liang food anymore?"

"To marry into your Northern Desert?"

Su Liluo originally had no interest in wasting words with Gao Yufei, but she couldn't help but become curious after hearing her words.

Even if she was forced to divorce the Crown Prince, why would she marry into the Northern Desert?

"Yes, you're lucky. After you divorce the Crown Prince, you somehow caught my father's eye, and he wants you to be his daughter-in-law. It's just a shame that my handsome brother is being treated so badly!"

Gao Yufei raised an eyebrow and said arrogantly.

She always felt that letting her brother marry Su Liluo was really unfair to him.

At this moment, Gao Junning, standing to the side, also looked displeased.

He didn't want to marry Su Liluo, a woman who had been married before, no matter how beautiful she was.

"Marry your brother? You wish! Our Luo'er would never look down on you hypocritical and selfish Northern Desert people!"

Before Su Lilu could speak, Chu Yan couldn't help but retort.

She can't stand it when people belittle her good friend to her face.

"How dare you insult us, you vicious woman!"

When Gao Yufei heard Chu Yan call them hypocritical and selfish, she immediately exploded and clenched her fist, ready to swing it at Chu Yan's face.

But before her fist could touch Chu Yan's face, a hand with distinct knuckles suddenly reached out from the side and forcefully grabbed her wrist.

She looked up and met the murderous gaze of a tall, thin woman. She vaguely felt that this gaze was particularly familiar.

"Ah! You...you let me go!"

Gao Yufei screamed in pain.

The one holding her hand was Che Yi, who was dressed in women's clothing.

"Let go!"

When Gao Junning saw his sister being bullied by a maid who showed no sign of letting go, he also scolded her and tried to lift Che Yi's hand.

However, Che Yi used his other hand to slap Gao Junning, knocking him to the ground.

"This is a lesson for offending the Princess and the Crown Princess!"

Che Yi deliberately spoke in a cold, unfamiliar female voice.

"Your Highness, how dare you order your people to attack us? Is this how you treat your guests? We came to visit your Great Liang, and yet you repeatedly attack us?"

Gao Yufei glared angrily at Su Liluo, attempting to morally blackmail her with such words.

Unexpectedly, Su Liluo burst into laughter.

"You want me to be a good guest, but are you really guests? What kind of guest comes in wanting to steal someone else's husband? Hmm? If you were in that situation, would you respect such a guest?"

"you......"

Gao Yufei was so angry that her face turned red.

Especially after Su Liluo finished speaking, many people around her joined in the fun, pointing and whispering about her.

"Your Highness, as a woman, it's best not to speak so sharply and meanly. When you marry into your husband's family, no man will like a woman like you."

When Gao Junning saw his younger sister being bullied, he couldn't help but stand in front of Su Liluo and make a pointed remark.

He also looked into it and found that Su Liluo and her group had a high chance of losing the competition, and that she would definitely have to marry into their Northern Desert family.

If Su Liluo continues to be domineering, he won't like her even after she marries him. Without his affection, Su Liluo will have a hard time in the Northern Desert.

Su Liluo naturally understood the meaning behind his words. She found it quite ridiculous and even felt that Gao Junning and Xiao Churen looked somewhat alike at this moment.

She raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Young Master Gao, you have quite the confidence. Are you more handsome than my husband, or better at martial arts, or perhaps of higher status?"

What makes you think I'd still be interested in you even after my divorce from the Crown Prince? Why would a woman who's seen an eagle choose a pheasant?

Pheasant!

She actually called herself a pheasant!

Even the usually composed Gao Junning couldn't help but fly into a rage upon hearing these words. He was the object of admiration for countless women in the Northern Desert, yet he had become like a pheasant in front of women!

This is the first person who dares to despise himself!

Gao Junning's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he smiled sinisterly: "Originally, I wasn't interested in you, but now I've decided that I must take you back to the Northern Desert in the future, so you can see for yourself whether I'm a pheasant or not!"
