It is said that when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will and determination... However, if Heaven is about to bestow good fortune upon a person, this too cannot be stopped.
Lu Qingyan sometimes wondered why her negative luck value seemed to have almost no effect in these worlds, as her luck was usually very good.
Not long after Lu Qingyan arrived at the Ministry of Works, the Emperor ordered the Ministry of Works to go to Yanghe to build a dam because of the flood in the south.
Lu Qingyan felt that this matter was probably related to her good second brother, since it was the second brother who reviewed and approved all the memorials submitted to the emperor.
Moreover, after issuing the decree, the second brother said a few meaningful words to himself: "Third brother, this is your first time on a mission, so be careful. It doesn't matter if you don't do a good job; at most, you'll be scolded by Father. But if you get there and do nothing well, and something goes wrong yourself..."
Prince Ning paused here, but his eyes were full of ill intent.
Lu Qingyan pretended not to understand the deeper meaning in his words and gratefully cupped her hands in greeting: "Thank you for your concern, Second Brother. I will take good care of myself and do my job well when I get there."
Prince Ning was momentarily speechless, but managed a weak smile as he replied, "Then I will wait here for my third brother's good news."
Lu Qingyan looked at him with a sincere expression, as if she were making a promise to him, which made Prince Ning feel a little embarrassed.
However, after doing this kind of thing so many times, he became thick-skinned and joined in with Lu Qingyan's banter for a few minutes.
On the way back to the Prince's Mansion, Lu Qingyan finally managed to suppress her stiff smile.
Feng Changgui was already waiting for her in the car.
Feng Changgui said lazily, "The second brother is a hypocrite. I usually don't like to greet him."
Lu Qingyan's eyelashes trembled. Feng Changgui was quite capable; he had managed to hear about what had just happened.
"Big brother, have you been busy lately? Aren't you going to Yanghe with me too?" Lu Qingyan asked casually, not really expecting an answer from him.
But Feng Changgui nodded seriously: "I really will go with you."
Lu Qingyan asked in surprise, "Big brother, are you really going with me?"
Feng Changgui curled the corners of his lips: "What, are you so happy you've gone crazy after hearing this news?"
Lu Qingyan: "..."
Brother, I didn't show any expression on my face. Which eye of yours saw that I was happy?
However, the thought that this face could stay with her forever still made Lu Qingyan a little happy.
"Big brother, come with me. Did Father and Second Brother say anything?" Lu Qingyan asked. The Emperor might not have any thoughts, but would Prince Ning overthink it?
"This is also my second brother's idea," Feng Changgui said nonchalantly. "I now work in the Ministry of Revenue, which is in charge of the national treasury. He asked me to come here specifically to keep an eye on these disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court."
Feng Changgui sighed, "Third brother, I absolutely believe you won't keep this money for yourself, but second brother insisted that I keep an eye on you. I was worried he might be up to something, so I came along to check on you."
Although Feng Changgui seems a bit carefree, he is actually very perceptive. How could he not see what Prince Ning was really planning? It's just a pity that his third brother is following him like this; it's really too unfair.
Feng Changgui's gaze fell on Lu Qingyan with pity, which for some reason made Lu Qingyan feel a little creeped out.
