Chapter 117 "What did you say? The river didn't breach its banks at all?!"

That's great, that's great!

So, Tang's father was very happy and put some food on Li Tian'ao's plate at the same table, saying, "Come on, son-in-law, don't be shy, eat more."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Although Li Tian'ao didn't know what made Tang's father so excited, he wouldn't refuse a table full of delicious food, as he was just a farmer's son who had never eaten such food before.

This meal lasted a full half hour. During that time, Tang's father also opened a jar of wine and drank with Li Tian'ao.

Li Tian'ao had never drunk alcohol before.

As for the reason, it's naturally because they don't have money.

However, because he had never drunk alcohol before, Li Tian'ao did not drink alcohol.

Li Tian'ao got drunk after only a short time of drinking and collapsed on the dining table.

"Husband, husband, wake up..." Tang Xiyue shook Li Tian'ao, but no matter how she shook him, he didn't wake up.

"Looks like he's passed out drunk," Tang's father said. "For a man, his alcohol tolerance is so low, tsk tsk."

Tang Xiyue instructed the servant to take Li Tian'ao to his room to rest.

And so, Li Tian'ao, who had passed out drunk, was helped away.

Only the Tang father and daughter remained in the house.

Looking at the rain outside, which had stopped, Tang's father said happily, "Daughter, it'll be over soon."

Tang Xiyue nodded confidently, "It'll be soon."

"That's good."

Tang Xiyue thought it was good that Li Tian'ao was drunk.

After this bout of drunkenness, I imagine everything will be different when I wake up again.

The entire Li family is gone, and the only person Li Tian'ao can rely on is her.

Tang Xiyue then recounted how she had persuaded Li Tian'ao to join the uprising.

"That's good, that's good. It seems that our good days are just around the corner."

"Yes."

"Does Yueyue want to go and rest?" Tang's father asked.

Tang Xiyue shook her head. "Father, I'll wait with you. It'll only be half an hour."

"Alright, then my daughter and I will wait together!"

So the father and daughter chatted as they waited.

The father and daughter were very patient and waited for half an hour.

"Daughter, half an hour has passed, and there seems to be no movement outside?" Mr. Tang frowned.

Tang Xiyue wasn't in a hurry. "Father, our Anhe County is still quite a distance from that big river. We might have to wait a little longer."

Mr. Tang nodded, agreeing that it made sense.

So the father and daughter continued to wait.

As time passed, Tang's father's expression gradually became serious, and even Tang Xiyue, who had been full of confidence, began to have some doubts.

"Daughter, are you sure you didn't get the time wrong?" Tang's father asked.

"No, I would never have misremembered the time," Tang Xiyue said firmly.

"Then why hasn't the flood come yet?"

Half an hour has passed since the beginning of the time.

That was a flood, nothing else.

Once the floodwaters are released, they can move extremely fast.

"Father, please send someone to check it out," said Tang's father.

Mr. Tang wouldn't feel at ease without checking.

“…Okay.” Tang Xiyue felt that her father’s decision to send someone to check meant he didn’t trust her.

However, things had indeed gone differently, and she couldn't say anything. So, soon after, Tang's father sent his trusted steward to investigate.

The steward went to check, and another half hour passed.

During this time, Tang's father's expression became even more unpleasant.

Even Tang Xiyue began to doubt herself, wondering if she had really remembered the time wrong.

Until the butler returned.

When the father and daughter heard the housekeeper's report, they exclaimed in surprise.

Tang's father stood up abruptly.

"What did you say? The river didn't breach its banks at all?!"

"Yes, sir. I met some people from Cheng'an Prefecture, and after inquiring, I didn't hear them say that the river had breached its banks."

"However, they said that the river was indeed turbulent, but it was all blocked by the newly built dam."

"Everyone is praising and thanking Lord Xia."

"How is this possible? The dam didn't breach! How could it not have breached!" Tang Xiyue exclaimed incredulously, her eyes filled with panic.

She even harbored doubts about her own rebirth.

These things clearly happened in my past life, so why haven't they happened now?

She clearly knew the location of the iron mine, so why did the imperial court send people to take over it?
The rain had been falling for half a month, just as she remembered, so why hadn't the dam breached because of the imperial envoy's construction?
Why? Why is this happening?
Tang Xiyue always felt that, in the dark, someone was working against her.

She can never have anything she wants.

Could Li Tian'ao become the founding emperor again? Could she become the empress?
Previously, Tang Xiyue was full of confidence; now, she is uncertain.

Meanwhile, Tang's father also plopped down in a chair.

His scrutinizing gaze fell upon Tang Xiyue. "Yueyue, is your dream still of any use?"

Tang Xiyue: Yes, then what use are her dreams, the things she knew in her past life?
"Dad, there must be someone sabotaging this place. Yes, that must be it."

"Dad, you have to believe me. Look, the iron mine, and the rain that's been falling for half a month, I was right about both."

"It's because someone is sabotaging things that this is happening."

Tang's father's gaze was deep and somber.

"What about all those medicinal herbs and grains I stockpiled..."

If there hadn't been a flood, he wouldn't have been able to sell his stockpiled medicinal herbs and grains at such a high price.

Nowadays, the prices of grain and medicinal herbs have also risen because the rice seedlings in the fields have been flooded after half a month of continuous rain. People are also prone to getting sick when it rains.

However, even if prices go up, the increase won't be much.

Although the price increase is not significant, he can still make money by selling it, and his assets can double.

But this is not what Tang's father expected.

He envisioned that the medicinal herbs and grains he had stockpiled would later be sold at ten or even more times the current price.

The current price is nowhere near what he expected.

Therefore, Tang's father was greatly disappointed.

Tang's father was a landlord and a greedy merchant.

Therefore, he naturally wanted to make a lot of money, especially since his initial expectations were so high.

But now that he's home, his expectations have been dashed, and naturally he feels disappointed.

"Wait a little longer, maybe there will be a flood soon..." Tang Xiyue still couldn't believe that fate would play such a trick on her.

Of course, the main reason was that she was a little scared.

If these things that would have happened in her past life may not happen in this life, then what is the meaning of her rebirth?
If Li Tian'ao can't become the founding emperor, then why would she marry him?

However, Tang Xiyue and her father waited and waited, until it was dark, but the outside remained calm.
