Part 1: A Dream Within A Dream / Rebirth of Ill Fated Concubine

Chapter 084 Adding To The Trouble

Jiang Ruan looked at Hui Jue who was sitting in the hall. Since he helped Jiang Ruan clear the charge of bad luck in Jiang's house last time, Hui Jue's reputation has become even more famous. She thinks many people must have come to see him these days. Hui Jue looks good now, so he must be living a very comfortable life.

Hui Jue was not very happy when he saw Jiang Ruan. He had a fear and panic towards Jiang Ruan. He said, "Miss Jiang, I have already helped you last time, why are you looking for me again?"

"Master, you misunderstood. I am here to repay you a favour today." Jiang Ruan said calmly, "I don't like to owe favours to others. Master, you helped me once, so I have to repay you." 

Seeing Hui Jue's puzzled eyes, she smiled slightly, "Didn't I say that even if you have to be a liar, you have to be the most noble liar in the world. Now you have only made a small profit, and your son's illness is only a temporary solution. Can you really be satisfied?"

Hui Jue's son is his concern, but Jiang Ruan always talks about his son. He has made a lot of money these days and bought many precious medicinal materials, but the child's condition can only be stabilized but not improved. Hui Jue bowed his head and said, "This is his fate, and there is nothing I can do."

"Master, you don't believe me?" Jiang Ruan said, "It doesn't matter. One day you will believe me. I will only say what I want to say today." 

She said, "The capital has been hit by severe floods recently. The Eighth Prince and the Second Young Master Li were ordered to control the floods. The water level in the reservoir seems to be under control now, but the rain will surely increase sharply in three days, and the reservoir will collapse, and countless people living near the reservoir will die."

She said, "This is your chance. I will give you this opportunity to predict. You only need to say in front of everyone that the dragon energy is in chaos, the reservoir will collapse, and the Eighth Prince must move to a place to control the floods. Of course, you must find a way to make the Eighth Prince stick to his own opinion. He will definitely punish you. The more severely he punishes you, the more solid your position will be after the prophecy comes true in a few days."

Hui Jue didn't understand what she was saying at first, and looked at Jiang Ruan in confusion. Jiang Ruan was not in a hurry, but waited patiently for him to figure it out. 

When Hui Jue realized the meaning of Jiang Ruan's words, he couldn't help but show a trace of surprise on his usually calm face: "You...what are you talking about? Why would the reservoir collapse? Will the water become more violent? Absurd! Nonsense!"

"Master, what are you panicking about?" Jiang Ruan said with a smile: "Don't you believe what I said? Master, didn't I tell you that there is a skill in the world called knowing the past and understanding the future." 

She said word by word: "Master, you think I don't have this ability, so can you think about it from another perspective, for example, how to make a reservoir collapse?"

Hui Jue stood up all of a sudden, not caring about maintaining the mask of compassion, and hurriedly said: "Are you crazy? If you are found out, you will lose your head!"

Jiang Ruan smiled and just looked at him without saying a word.

She was deliberately guiding Hui Jue. It was too risky to believe that someone had the ability to predict and was willing to do things for her. 

But what if Hui Jue thought that she was just a cover, and there was someone behind her who was giving her advice? Prophecies may be wrong, but human arrangements will not fail. Hui Jue thought someone was going to collapse the reservoir, and once he was sure of this, he would be shaken.
