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

Chapter 15 Luo Chujiu's cheap parents scheme against her, planning to marry her off.

Luo Chujiu listened for a long time but didn't hear the key point she wanted to hear, so she interrupted Granny Yun and asked:
"Then could you tell me, Granny Yun, what are the rules of the Luo family that cannot be violated?"

"What does 'Miss' refer to?"

Granny Yun didn't understand Luo Chujiu's implication, so she asked her again.

"In other words, what did I do that might lead to my expulsion from the Luo family and removal from the family register?"

Luo Chujiu asked casually, but when she looked up, she saw the extremely shocked look on Granny Yun's face.

"Why does the young lady ask this?"

“Granny, there’s no need to be nervous. I’m new here and grew up in the mountains. Many things that are rules for you may be unintentional to me. I’m just asking you for advice so that I can avoid any risks.”

Luo Chujiu spoke very sincerely, and anyone who heard her would feel that she genuinely wanted to learn the rules, rather than deliberately breaking them.

"Actually, Miss, there's no need to worry too much. The situation you just described is only likely to result in being expelled from the Luo family and removed from the family register if it harms the interests of the entire Luo family and causes irreparable damage."

What was said in jest was taken to heart by the listener. After hearing what Granny Yun said, Luo Chujiu began to plot a big incident to make her adoptive parents lose their patience and kick her out of the house!
Just thinking about it is so exciting!

Granny Yun talked all morning and finally finished explaining all the rules and regulations that the Luo family should pay attention to. Fei Yun listened very attentively.

From now on, she will always be by the young lady's side and will constantly remind her.

"Granny Yun, you've worked hard. I don't have any money to give you, so I'll write you a talisman instead. Please don't find it offensive."

The people of Nanzhao were quite obsessed with metaphysics, and many would seek divination and fortune telling. They believed in talismans rather than dismiss them.

"Thank you, miss."

The young lady was taken away by the Imperial Advisor back then. The Imperial Advisor must have taught the young lady a lot of mystical arts. Even if the talisman given by the young lady cannot bring good fortune or avoid harm, it can at least ensure her safety.

Luo Chujiu casually took out a talisman from her bosom and handed it to Granny Yun.

Granny Yun took the talisman, put it directly into her bosom, and then withdrew.

"Miss, did you also give Granny Yun a 'good luck charm'?"

Luo Chujiu shook her head. "It's just a 'good fortune' charm, but it can't dispel the dark energy on her. This time, I gave her a 'lucky charm for everything'. What she's about to encounter is more than just a bad thing."

Luo Chujiu said with great emotion, not knowing whether she could successfully overcome this calamity. The 'Good Fortune Talisman' given to her could only bring her some luck.

Upon hearing this, Fei Yun secretly felt worried for Granny Yun, hoping that Granny Yun could "turn bad luck into good" just like herself.

After dealing with his official duties, Luo Wanping went to discuss something he had just decided on with Luo Jiangshi.

"What? Master, you want to hold a homecoming banquet for that jinx? No, I disagree!"

Madam Luo Jiang already disliked Luo Chujiu's return to the manor, and now she wanted her to have a happy banquet? She knew she couldn't do it.

"Madam, please watch your words. Xiao Jiu is our daughter. You keep calling her a jinx. What will outsiders think if they hear this?"

Luo Wanping frowned, deeply dissatisfied with Luo Jiangshi's attitude towards Luo Chujiu.

"Sir, when she was born, the fortune teller said she was a jinx who would bring misfortune to her family. I almost died because of her. How can you expect me to let this go?"

When Luo Jiangshi talked about the danger of her childbirth back then, she wished she had never given birth to this daughter. "Let's not talk about what happened back then. Don't blame Xiao Jiu for your near-difficult childbirth. The child was innocent. She didn't understand anything at that time."

Luo Wanping tried to persuade his wife to let go of her resentment.

"It's one thing for that jinx to be back, but why hold a homecoming banquet? What are you thinking, sir?"

Madam Luo looked at Luo Wanping with great confusion. They had been married for many years, and she knew Luo Wanping's character very well. He also disliked this daughter very much.

When pressed by Lady Luo Jiang, Luo Wanping had no choice but to confess:

"Madam, Xiao Jiu is already seventeen this year, and she will soon be of marriageable age. She can start looking for a husband."

Upon hearing this, Lady Luo's eyes widened immediately. She understood the implications and knew what Luo Wanping was thinking.

She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, "Master's decision is indeed well thought out; this is the best possible outcome."

She thought the master was truly sorry for the jinx, but it turns out he wanted to get rid of her even more than she did.

She will definitely find a good husband for her. Once she leaves the Luo family and gets married, she won't be able to harm the Luo family anymore. This is a very subtle move.

"Does Mother mean that Uncle and Aunt are planning to hold a homecoming banquet for my eldest sister and invite prominent families from the capital to attend?"

"Yes, I just went to the eldest son's courtyard, and this is what your aunt told me. What do you think she was thinking? She clearly dislikes this daughter so much, yet she still throws a banquet for her? Isn't she just deliberately making herself miserable?"

Lady Luosun was very puzzled by Lady Luojiang's actions and couldn't understand what their eldest branch of the family wanted to do.

Previously, the prominent families in the capital only knew that the Luo family had a second young lady who was both talented and beautiful. The sudden appearance of an unknown eldest young lady might be detrimental to their Xue'er.

Upon hearing her mother's words, Luo Chuxue fell into deep thought:
Auntie dislikes Luo Chujiu very much, and makes no attempt to hide it. Now that she's throwing such a big banquet for her, there's probably more to it than meets the eye.

Suddenly, Luo Chuxue seemed to have thought of something.

“Mother, my eldest sister is seventeen this year, just like me. She will be of marriageable age next year.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Luo first looked at Luo Chuxue with a puzzled expression, then seemed to realize something and revealed a knowing smile.

"So that's how it is. Your aunt is even more ruthless than I thought. Her daughter has only just returned to her side, and she's already so eager to marry her off."

Luo Chuxue didn't have much of a reaction to this.

She knew better than anyone what kind of people her uncle and aunt were. How could people who could abandon their own daughter for so many years for their own future possibly cherish this daughter?
They feared that Luo Chujiu's existence would constantly remind them of their cruelty, so they decided to turn a blind eye.

Divider line --
Granny Yun does not live in the Luo residence; she goes back to her own small house to stay at night.

Everything was fine on ordinary days, but who would have thought that today we would run into a petty thief on the run!

The petty thief noticed that Granny Yun's clothes were made of nice material, so he decided to rob her of her valuables.

Granny Yun was terrified and quickly took out a silver pouch from her bosom and gave it to the petty thief, begging him not to hurt her!

The petty thief snatched the silver pouch from her and tried to run away, but he tripped over a stone in the corner, fell to the ground, felt dizzy, and passed out.

Upon seeing this, Granny Yun quickly took her silver pouch back from his hand and ran back home.

It’s so dangerous!
After returning home, Granny Yun changed her clothes and took out the talisman that the young lady had given her that day. She didn't know if it was because of the light at night or something else, but she felt that the red talisman seemed to have dimmed a lot.
