Chapter 268: My daughter is favored by God

"Mother, are you sure your daughter will be selected?" Lu Minghui was skeptical.

Madam Yongning smiled and said, "Of course."

"The nobles in the palace attach great importance to the theory of fate, and would rather believe it than not believe it."

"Mother tried every means to bribe a high monk to predict that you will be born with a noble destiny. The hardships you have experienced in the past fifteen years have all been spent on overcoming difficulties. Now all the difficulties have been overcome. You can obtain this blessing to ensure that the country will be safe and the sea will be peaceful."

"With this destiny, you will be able to enter the palace as a concubine without any problems."

Lu Minghui was delighted.

She was reborn, so why doesn't she deserve to be called a born noble?

She deserves it.

She is the best match!

"Mother, is His Majesty really so majestic and awe-inspiring?" Lu Minghui was a little worried.

“Really.”

"Then let's do as mother says."

Madam Yongning nodded with satisfaction, saying meaningfully, "Minghui, mother will never abandon you so easily."

Lu Minghui is very clear in one point: "If a daughter is rich and prosperous, she will be filial and respectful to her mother all her life."

"Mother, you said that you believe in fortune-telling."

"Could the prophecy help my mother's plans?"

Madam Yongning frowned and asked in confusion, "Prophecy?"

Even the most accomplished monks dare not claim to be prophets.

"Mother." Lu Minghui whispered mysteriously in the ear of the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, "In mid-May, the two counties of Wanxing and Beiba under the jurisdiction of Yicheng will have heavy rains for the next half month, causing floods and disasters, and then an epidemic will break out."

"The situation in Ban Hing County is particularly serious, with the disease spreading everywhere and nine out of ten houses empty."

She vaguely remembered that the imperial envoy who was sent to provide disaster relief under the imperial order had no choice but to order the closure of Wanxing County.

The wife of Marquis Yongning's pupils shrank and she was terrified.

"You can't just say that casually."

"Yicheng is backed by the 800-li-long Dalü Mountain, which acts as a natural barrier. The four seasons are distinct, and major natural disasters rarely occur."

"Minghui, stop making random predictions."

"The matter of fortune-telling and creating momentum will be handled by my mother."

Lu Minghui stamped her feet anxiously, "Mother, please believe me."

"I'm not talking nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes in my dream."

"In my dream, before the rainstorm came, no rain had fallen in Wanxing and Beiba counties since late spring, the land was dry and cracked, and the crops dried up."

“When the first rains came, people were overjoyed, thinking that the drought would soon be alleviated.”

“I never thought that the rainstorm would cause a disaster.”

"If mother doesn't believe me, you might as well arrange for someone to go to Wanxing Beiba for a while to see if the drought is serious."

Lady Yongning Marquis subconsciously felt that she was hallucinating.

Saw it in a dream?

Could it be more ridiculous?

But Lu Minghui's words were so insightful that Lady Yongning could not help but be shaken.

What if it's true?

"Why do you have such a dream?"

She thought she had some understanding of Minghui's personality.

There may be pearl hairpins and gorgeous clothes in the dream, there may be jealousy, and even murder and arson, but there will never be suffering of the people.

Minghui does not have the noble sentiment of caring about the country and the people.

It's almost the same to take advantage of natural disasters, man-made disasters and national calamities to make money.

Yes!

Thinking of this, the wife of Marquis Yongning's eyes lit up.

If the tragic situation in the dream is true, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Lu Minghui coughed lightly and said in a self-righteous and proud manner, "Mother, do you think there is a possibility that your daughter is favored by God?"

"Mother, everything my daughter says is true."

The wife of Marquis Yongning was speechless.

He said dryly, "Maybe God wants to give you a chance to survive."

"Minghui, if your prediction comes true, mother will allow you to enter the palace and become a concubine!"

"Besides the natural disaster in Wanxing Beiba, are there other scenes in your dreams?"

"For example, the future of the Marquis' Mansion."

"For example, the throne of the emperor."

Lu Minghui's eyes trembled, and her expression was a little unnatural.

In her previous life, before she was abandoned by Xie Yan and learned about her life experience, she lived in Changxi Village, and the farthest place she had been to was Changhe County.

The reason why we remember this horrific natural disaster is that the disaster in Wanxing and Beiba counties more or less affected Changhe County.

When the drought was severe, the shallow wells in Changxi Village gradually dried up and no more water gushed out. Every household had to carry a shoulder pole and line up at the old well at the entrance of the village to fetch water.

All these subsequent events were heard from the peddlers who passed by.

The peddler heard rumors that the imperial police had ordered the city to be sealed off and then set fire to the city and massacred people.

Hell on earth, humans and ghosts walk together.

She couldn't tell what was true and what was false.

But natural disasters are certain.

"Minghui?" There was a sickly and hot light flashing in the eyes of the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, and she urged impatiently.

Lu Minghui's cheeks trembled, and her eyebrows drooped. "Mother, the position of crown prince has not yet been decided."

“It’s possible that I haven’t dreamed of it yet.”

"The Yongning Marquisate was glorious and prosperous for a time."

Well, the people in the Marquis' Mansion who were so prominent felt that she was disgracing the place by coming to their house to acknowledge her relatives.

After getting the answer she wanted, Lady Yongning was very satisfied.

"Minghui, mother will arrange for someone to go to Yicheng."

At this moment, Lady Yongning Marquis looked at Lu Minghui as if she were a popular commodity.

…

Cuiyuan.

The hexagonal lantern emits a warm, pearly white light.

The red ears of corn swayed back and forth in the night wind.

Under the eaves, Lu Mingchao leaned on the railing and smiled, "Thank you, big brother."

Lu Minghua's brows were furrowed, as if he had encountered some difficulties.

After a moment, he said hesitantly, "Chao Chao, don't take it lightly."

“My mother’s reaction was not right.”

"she……"

"I can't really explain it, but I just feel like my mother has a backup plan."

"Father intends to stop what happened tonight with Minghui, but Mother will probably not give up on Minghui."

"I was afraid that my mother would lose her mind in anger and do something without considering the consequences, causing great harm."

Lu Mingchao frowned slightly. "My mother was born in an official family and has been a marquis for half her life. She still knows the basics of seeking benefits and avoiding harm."

"If you are worried, you can remind your father indirectly."

Madam Hou and Lu Minghui are definitely a mother and daughter made in heaven.

Well, a bad pair.

Lu Minghui's actions became more and more cruel and casual, and she might have intended to test Mrs. Hou's bottom line.

Lu Minghui did evil, and the Marquis' wife cleaned up the mess.

She was not the original owner, so she could not feel any mother-daughter relationship with such a marquis' wife.

Lu Minghua heard the coldness in Lu Mingchao's voice and his eyes dimmed.

After a long while, he said quietly, "Chao Chao, if mother does something wrong in the future, you..."

"Brother." Lu Mingchao raised his eyes and looked at Lu Minghua.

The voice was clear and clear, "If someone respects me one foot, I will respect him one yard."

"If someone destroys me in one grain of rice, I will win three battles."

"What kind of mistakes are you talking about, brother?"

The wife of Marquis Yongning killed someone to silence him during the Lu Minghui New Year.

Lu Chun and his family of three were not slaves, but legitimate civilians!

She doesn't think this is the end of recklessness.

"Tonight's incident was so serious, and Nanny Wang didn't show up from beginning to end. Isn't it curious, brother?"

Lu Minghua looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Lu Mingchao confessed that "Madam ordered Nanny Wang to be sent to a farm outside the city to recuperate on the grounds that Nanny Wang was suffering from an acute illness."

"Brother, what kind of emergency is this that caught you off guard?"

Lu Minghua's eyes widened. "You mean Mother has already ordered Nanny Wang to do something shameful?"
