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

Chapter 143 exposes the affair between Lady Luo Jiang and Wu Xing.

Luo Chujiu naturally saw Luo Wanping's figure and walked over.

When Luo Wanping met Luo Chujiu, he had to bow respectfully.

"This humble official greets the Imperial Preceptor."

"Why does Lord Luo seem unhappy? Could it be that he has discovered something bad at home?"

Luo Chujiu raised her wine glass and looked at Luo Wanping with a smile.

Luo Wanping was puzzled when he heard Luo Chujiu say this. "What does the Imperial Preceptor mean by that?"

"What do you mean? Doesn't Lord Luo know? Your cousin has no relation to the Jiang family at all. He is your fiancé, whom you were engaged to before you got married."

Luo Wanping was completely dumbfounded when he heard Luo Chujiu's words! His eyes widened as he stared at Luo Chujiu in disbelief.

After a long while, Luo Chu smiled, then calculated with her fingers, opened her eyes, and looked at Luo Wanping:
"If Lord Luo were to return to the Luo residence immediately, he would likely catch the two of them in the act of illicit relations."

Luo Wanping glared at him angrily, then turned and left.

He dared not question the Imperial Advisor's divination abilities; he only wanted to hurry back to his residence to verify if it was true. If it was true, it would be a truly humiliating disgrace!
"Xiao Jiu, what did you say to Lord Luo? Why did he storm off?"

Xiao Beiming walked over, looked at Luo Chujiu, and asked.

"I just told Luo Wanping some bad news and asked him to hurry back to the manor to deal with it."

Luo Chujiu's face was full of smiles. Seeing this, Xiao Beiming thought to himself, "It seems that this not-so-good news is actually good news for Xiaojiu."

On the other side, after Luo Wanping left, Luo Jiangshi began to seduce Wu Xing.

When Luo Wanping rushed back to the Luo residence, the two were engaged in passionate lovemaking, oblivious to the world around them.

"boom--"

The door to Luo Jiangshi's bedroom was pushed open, and Luo Wanping stood menacingly at the door.

"Who is it? Didn't I tell you not to bother me?"

Luo Jiangshi and Wu Xing both stopped what they were doing. Luo Jiangshi stretched out a hand and peered out of the tent flap to see what was going on.

Upon meeting Luo Wanping's humiliating and indignant gaze, Luo Jiangshi froze on the spot, unsure of how to react.

But at that very moment, Wu Xing spoke up:

"Cousin, who's interrupting our good time?"

Wu Xing got out of bed, wearing only a thin shirt and with his hair in a mess, clearly having just gone through something.

When Wu Xing saw Luo Wanping, he froze on the spot.

"Your brother-in-law"

"Husband, please don't misunderstand. Nothing happened between us. I was just feeling unwell and asked him to check me out."

Although the reason was lame, Lady Luo Jiang still said it, trying to put up a fight.

Luo Wanping had been listening to their commotion outside for a long time, so he didn't believe a word they said! "Inspection? Does an inspection require you all to take off your clothes? Jiang Shi, I have treated you well since you married into the Luo family, why would you do such a heinous thing!"

Luo Wanping was so angry that his eyes turned red. He couldn't believe that his wife, whom he had doted on for so many years, would actually be sleeping with another man!
If the Imperial Advisor hadn't reminded him today, he would never have returned halfway and discovered their affair!

It's been almost half a year since Wu Xing joined the Luo family. Could it be that during these past six months, while I was away, they've been living such a despicable life?
"Sir, you've really misunderstood. We really didn't."

Luo Jiangshi's eyes reddened, and she pretended to look pitiful.

Meanwhile, Wu Xing's mind raced as he tried to come up with a solution.

If the scandal involving me and Luo Jiangshi were to be exposed, they would both die!
"Misunderstanding? I stood outside the door and listened for a long time. I saw it with my own eyes, and you still dare to argue!"

Luo Wanping was so angry that his beard was trembling.

When Luo Jiangshi and Wu Xing heard Luo Wanping say this, their expressions immediately changed, and they were no longer as cautious and ingratiating as before.

"Wu Xing, go and close the door."

Wu Xing immediately did as instructed, closing the door and glancing outside. There was no one there, which was good; it would be convenient to proceed.

"What...what do you want to do?"

"What are you doing? Now that you know about my affair with Wu Xing, I can't let you live. Once you're dead, won't I be the one calling the shots in the Luo family from now on? Blame yourself for suddenly coming back and catching Wu Xing and me in the act."

Luo Jiangshi laughed coldly, her gaze toward Luo Wanping growing even colder.

Luo Wanping suddenly felt as if he had never truly understood Luo Jiangshi. How could she be such a woman?
"Jiang, I'm asking you, what exactly is your relationship with Wu Xing? When did you two become entangled?"

Luo Wanping calmed down and questioned him.

“Wu Xing and I knew each other long before you and I, and we were engaged! Who knew that my father, greedy for power and wealth, would marry me off to you and even secretly plot against Wu Xing? From the day I married into the Luo family, I have hated you! I hate all of you!”

"If you had told me earlier that you had a lover, I would never have married you and would have let you and Wu Xing be together. But you didn't, and you kept it from me all this time!"

Luo Wanping also felt very wronged. Who knew that the mistress he had married with great ceremony had always been thinking about someone else!
He could not bear such a humiliating disgrace!
"Ha, do you think I have the right to choose? You treat women like playthings, sending them around. Even if it wasn't you, there would be another one. So why should I marry you? Once you're married into the family, I'll be the mistress of the house."

At this moment, Lady Luo was perfectly lucid and knew what she was saying and doing.

"So, that's why you won't have children for me, right? You can actually still have children, can't you?"

Luo Wanping began to suspect that Luo Jiangshi was lying to him when she said that she was unable to conceive again after giving birth to Luo Chujiu.

"I really didn't want to have your child. When I was pregnant with Luo Chujiu, I wanted to strangle him, so I conspired with the sorcerer to say that Luo Chujiu was a jinx from birth and almost killed me." Luo Jiangshi said with a smile, very proud.

Upon hearing this, Luo Wanping trembled all over:
"So it was all your deliberate scheme. If we had raised Xiao Jiu properly, she would be the legitimate daughter of the Luo family now, bringing glory to our clan!"

Luo Wanping was filled with remorse. He shouldn't have listened to one side of the story, believed that his daughter was a jinx, and sent her away from the capital. He had made a complete mistake!

"Hahahaha, I wish I could strangle her the moment she was born, so how could I have raised her properly? If I hadn't had some pity back then, I wouldn't have let her live to this day and oppose me!"

Lady Luo Jiang had nothing to hide and spoke her mind.
