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

Chapter 20 Luo Chujiu has a venomous tongue
Luo Chujiu, who was meditating in her room, opened her eyes at the same time that Granny Yun was in danger.

This is the second time. We need to find a way to remove the bad luck from Granny Yun's body, otherwise this talisman can only be used twice more before it won't be able to protect her.

The next morning, Granny Yun waited outside the courtyard for the young lady to finish washing up.

"Miss, Granny Yun has something she wants to tell you."

After Fei Yun finished styling Luo Chu Jiu's hair, she said to her.

"Yes, I know. Let her in."

Even if Granny Yun didn't come looking for her, Luo Chujiu would still go to find her.

"This servant, Yun, greets the young lady. May the young lady enjoy boundless blessings."

"Granny Yun, please get up. Your legs are not good, so you don't need to perform this grand ceremony anymore."

Luo Chujiu glanced at her and had Feiyun help her up.

Granny Yun wasn't surprised that the young lady knew about her leg problems. After all, the young lady's talismans were so powerful that there was probably nothing she didn't know.

"You called me because you wanted to ask about the strange things that have happened to you these past few days?"

"Young Miss is incredibly insightful; nothing escapes her notice. On my way home these past two days, I've encountered various situations, but I've always managed to resolve them skillfully. This is all thanks to the talismans you bestowed upon me, Young Miss. However, this isn't a long-term solution. I'd like to ask you, Young Miss, if you have any way to resolve these misfortunes for me?"

"Did Granny Yun accidentally injure someone the other day?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Yun was stunned. She hadn't expected that the young lady would even know this!

“This old servant dares not conceal the truth from Miss. It is indeed true. About ten days ago, this old servant went to the market to buy some items and accidentally dropped something in the middle of the street. When this old servant went to pick it up, he forgot to check if any carriages were passing by. Just as the carriage was about to hit this old servant, the coachman, in order to avoid this old servant, crashed straight into a stall on the side. A child was injured as a result. At that time, this old servant was in a hurry to return to the manor and did not pay attention to what happened afterward. But is it related to this incident?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Chujiu nodded in understanding.

No wonder, in the cause and effect relationship, young children are the most feared. It seems that Granny Yun's misfortune is related to this matter.

"The solution is simple. Although the child was injured because of the driver, the driver was trying to avoid you when he hit him. So you have to resolve this cause and effect, find the injured child, and make amends. Once he recovers, your bad luck will naturally dissipate."

Upon hearing Luo Chujiu's words, Granny Yun nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Thank you for your guidance, Miss. I know what to do now. From now on, I will serve you like a slave."

Granny Yun sincerely urged Luo Chujiu to hurry up. If it weren't for the young lady's talisman helping her the previous two times, she probably wouldn't be in a good situation now.

"It's nothing. Now that you've become someone who serves me, it's my duty to protect you. From now on, you just need to manage the affairs of Caoshuang Pavilion, and that will be your way of repaying me."

"Yes, this old servant understands. Thank you, young lady."

Luo Chujiu waved her hand, indicating that Granny Yun should go and deal with her own karma first, and that she didn't need to worry about this.

Watching Granny Yun leave, Fei Yun's admiration for Luo Chu Jiu grew even stronger.

"Miss is truly kind-hearted."

"Don't flatter me. I'm a vengeful person, you just haven't seen me lose my temper yet."

"Even if Miss loses her temper, it must be because someone provoked her that she retaliated."

Although Fei Yun hadn't spent much time with Luo Chu Jiu, she had already gained some understanding of her personality:

Her young lady is definitely not the type to deliberately cause trouble!
Seeing Fei Yun's obvious favoritism towards her, Luo Chujiu couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Even if you say nice things about me, I won't give you the monthly allowance."

"Miss~~"

Feiyun glared at Luo Chujiu coquettishly, "Even if I don't get my monthly allowance, I will still serve you, Miss!" "Oh? Is that so? Then starting next month, your monthly allowance will be used to buy talismans for me."

Feiyun was both angry and anxious. Her young lady always knew how to make fun of her! How annoying!
"Hahahahaha..."

Seeing Fei Yun's discomfitured expression, Luo Chujiu burst into laughter. She was so funny! How could she really not give her a monthly allowance?

No one knows how the news of Luo Chujiu's return to the Luo family spread so quickly, but on the fourth day after Luo Chujiu's return, someone actually came to propose marriage.

Lady Luo Jiang, without any sense of propriety, summoned Luo Chujiu to be introduced to the matchmaker.

"Oh my, Miss Luo is truly beautiful and charming, she has clearly inherited the beauty of the First Madam."

Luo Chujiu sat quietly on the stool, not saying a word, and quietly sipped her tea.

Tsk, this tea is really bad, not as good as the tea leaves picked and processed on Xuanfeng Mountain.

Seeing that Luo Chu remained silent for a long time, the matchmaker then looked at Luo Jiangshi.

"Madam Luo, my young master is the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He is twenty-six years old this year, in the prime of his life. Last year, he passed the imperial examination and became a Juren. He is also very handsome, honest and kind, and is a worthy candidate for husband. If Miss Luo could marry the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, it would truly be a wonderful story!"

What does Xiao Jiu think?

Lady Luo Jiang may not necessarily want her to be with the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel; at most, she is just testing her attitude towards the prospective husband's family.

Luo Chujiu was well aware of this.

"Mother, may I ask the matchmaker a few questions?"

"Go ahead and ask." Madam Luo glanced at Luo Chujiu, wanting to hear what she could find out.

"Miss Luo, please feel free to ask this old woman any questions you may have!"

"May I ask what the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is like in terms of height and build?"

"This... though not quite seven feet tall, he's over six! As for his physique, while he's a bit stocky, he's incredibly sincere!"

"And then, has the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel ever married and had children? And how many concubines does he have?"

The matchmaker broke out in a cold sweat. How could Miss Luo ask such a sensitive question?

"He had a legal wife before, but she passed away from illness last year. He had a son born to a concubine, but that doesn't matter. As soon as Miss Luo married into the family, she gave birth to a big, healthy boy for the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, so her position is very secure!"

Luo Chujiu laughed upon hearing this, and her words showed no regard for the matchmaker's feelings:
“I am the granddaughter of the former prime minister and the legitimate daughter of the current Minister of Rites. I can marry any outstanding man. Why should I become a concubine for a short, fat man who has accomplished nothing? The principal wife has no children but has a son born out of wedlock. It seems that there is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children or between the superior and inferior in that household. I am giving up a good life to go and help the poor. I must be out of my mind. I would rather die by hitting my head against a wall.”

Upon hearing Luo Chujiu's words, both Luo Jiangshi and the matchmaker looked extremely displeased.

"Xiao Jiu, don't be rude!"

“Miss Luo, your words are really unpleasant to hear. He is, after all, the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. What do you have to complain about? When you marry, you should consider the stability of the man, not his looks or family background!”

“Oh, if you think he’s so good, why don’t you arrange this marriage for your own daughter? I’m not so lucky, I’m not worthy of such a family.”

After saying her farewells to Madam Luo Jiang, Luo Chujiu strode away.

What kind of scoundrel could possibly be worthy of my attention?

That's really beneath me!
