After a master of metaphysics severed ties with his family, the whole family was filled with regret!

Chapter 102 Beating Luo Chentian

After taking the medicine for two consecutive days, Luo Chuxue's acne finally subsided a little.

"Miss, your face looks much better than it did a couple of days ago. You should recover soon."

"The pimples have cleared up, but there are still some marks. I'll go see a doctor again and buy some ointment to apply. I absolutely cannot leave any marks."

Luo Chuxue said with a very serious expression.

"Miss has been blessed since childhood, and she will surely be lucky again. There will definitely be no marks left on her face."

Caiying kept trying to please Luo Chuxue.

Luo Chuxue's expression softened upon hearing Caiying's words, and she smiled.
"You're so good at talking. By the way, was my good-for-nothing brother behaving himself today?"

Luo Chuxue then asked about Luo Chenyang.

"Miss, the Second Young Master has been causing trouble lately, and the Second Master and Second Madam are at their wits' end with him." Caiying said, sounding quite exasperated about Luo Chenyang.

Since Luo Chenyang was caught cheating in the imperial examination, he had been kept at home and not allowed to go out. More than a month had passed, and he couldn't stand it anymore, which is why he was making such a fuss every day.

Hearing Caiying say that, Luo Chuxue's eyes were full of disdain.

“That good-for-nothing only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. Our second branch has fallen to such a state because of him. He still doesn’t know how to restrain himself and only knows how to go out and cause trouble. Forget it, I don’t expect him to help me in the future. I have to rely on myself for everything.”

As she spoke, the light in Luo Chuxue's eyes dimmed slightly.

"Miss, your coming-of-age ceremony is next month. I heard that Madam and Second Madam have been preparing for it, and even the Old Madam is paying close attention. It's clear how much you are favored, Miss," Caiying said to Luo Chuxue with a smile.

Mentioning her coming-of-age ceremony, Luo Chuxue smiled slightly, then added:
"It has nothing to do with being favored, and there's no benefit to it. Now that I'm the only daughter in the Luo family, shouldn't we make good use of my coming-of-age ceremony to find me a husband?"

"Does Miss think this is not good?"

Caiying couldn't quite understand what her young mistress was thinking.

"Of course, that would be great, but not everyone can meet my standards. My future husband must not be much worse than Prince Xiao."

Luo Chuxue said indignantly.

Prince Xiao is the most powerful person besides His Majesty, and he has already been taken by Luo Chujiu. Therefore, the husband she chooses must also be a member of the royal family, otherwise she will have to kneel and bow to Luo Chujiu in the future! This is something that Luo Chuxue absolutely cannot accept.

Upon hearing this, Caiying nodded in agreement. In her eyes, her young lady was indeed no less capable than Luo Chujiu. If Luo Chujiu could marry Prince Xiao, then her young lady could naturally marry a prince or a county prince as well.

Only after the pimples and marks on Luo Chuxue's face disappeared did she go to pay her respects to Luo Jiangshi again.

"Xue'er greets Auntie."

"I heard you were sick the other day? How could you be so careless? Let your auntie take a good look at you—"

Luo Chuxue stepped forward and let Luo Jiangshi take a good look at her.

"You've lost a lot of weight. Now that you're better, take some time to nourish yourself. Your coming-of-age ceremony is in less than a month. Xue'er will definitely be stunning at that time, and your aunt will also find a suitable husband for you."

Madam Luo patted Luo Chuxue's hand and said with great affection.

"Thank you, auntie."

Luo Chuxue smiled shyly, seemingly looking forward to her coming-of-age ceremony, which pleased Luo Jiangshi and put her at ease.

"By the way, your grandmother wants you to visit her after you recover. Xue'er, you should go now."

Madam Luo then said this to Luo Chuxue, indicating that she should go and see Old Madam Luo now.

Luo Chuxue bowed to Luo Jiangshi, and then went to find Old Madam Luo.

Looking at Luo Chuxue's appearance after recovering from a serious illness, Old Madam Luo felt a little sorry for her:
“Your health is too weak. You’ve been sick for several days. Your grandmother is very worried about you.”

"Thank you for your concern, Grandmother. I am doing well. I have caused you so much worry. It is my fault."

"Good child, your coming-of-age ceremony is just around the corner. Let me ask you first: do you have someone you like? If so, after the ceremony, you can invite their parents to come home to discuss it. If not, after the ceremony, I'll have your aunt look after them for you." The reason Old Madam Luo called Luo Chuxue over was to test her. If Luo Chuxue already had someone in mind, and their family background was decent, they could directly arrange the marriage, saving a lot of trouble. If not, then they would have to carefully consider their suitors.

"Grandmother is joking. Xue'er doesn't go out much on weekdays, so how could she meet any young men? Grandmother, Aunt and Mother can decide on the marriage arrangements."

Luo Chuxue revealed a girlish shyness, trying her best not to get involved in her own marriage.

Upon hearing this, Madam Luo nodded with great satisfaction.

“Good child, Grandma knows you’ve always been well-behaved, but I still have to ask. Since you don’t have someone you like, Grandma will definitely help you find the best family. You can rest assured.”

"Thank you grandma."

"Also, if you have time, you should try to persuade Chenyang. That child is too noisy and can't calm down. He is the only legitimate son of our Luo family. The huge family business will be handed over to him in the future. If he is still immature, he will be crushed by that illegitimate son of the eldest son's family sooner or later."

"Yes, Xue'er will keep it in mind and will go see Chenyang later."

"Alright, there's nothing else for Grandma, you can go now."

"Granddaughter takes her leave—"

After saying that, Luo Chuxue left Madam Luo's courtyard.

"Miss, are you really going to see the second young master?"

"Grandmother has already reminded me in front of me. If I don't go, wouldn't I be slapping her in the face?"

Although Luo Chuxue was unwilling, she had no choice but to go to Luo Chenyang's courtyard.

Luo Chuxue was almost hit by a bottle as soon as she arrived.

"Miss be careful!"

Caiying immediately stepped in front of Luo Chuxue, and the shards of glass that had fallen to the ground cut Caiying's face.

"Caiying!"

Luo Chuxue frowned when she saw the shards that had cut Caiying's face.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Luo Chuxue shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

Caiying breathed a sigh of relief, and then Luo Chuxue strode inside.

Luo Chenyang heard their commotion and then quieted down.

"What are you doing here? Did you come to see me make a fool of myself?"

Luo Chenyang didn't give Luo Chuxue a friendly look either.

"This servant has met the Second Young Lady."

Hongluan, who had been serving Luo Chenyang closely, immediately bowed to Luo Chuxue when she saw her arrive.

"Hongluan, raise your head."

Luo Chuxue seemed to have noticed something was wrong and ordered Hongluan to look up at her.

Hongluan could only cautiously raise her head, revealing her face covered in scars and bruises.

Luo Chuxue immediately understood Hongluan's predicament. Without saying a word, she stepped forward and slapped Luo Chenyang twice!

"You good-for-nothing! All you do is take your anger out on the maids around you. If you were truly capable, you should have passed the imperial examinations like Chen Tian and returned with a title, instead of complaining here! Your father and mother have really ruined you!"
