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

Chapter 7 Luo Chujiu Returns Home in a Powerful Manner, Slapping Everyone in the Face
"What, it's you again? You're dressed quite respectably today, but the Luo residence isn't a place you can just come to. Get out of here, our master is about to finish court, don't get in the way!"

The guard recognized Luo Chujiu at a glance, but he didn't take her seriously. Instead, he tried to shoo her away again using the same trick.

"Oh? Is the gentleman you're talking about the one behind me?"

Luo Chujiu flashed to reveal Luo Wanping behind her.

"Master!"

"You insolent brat! How dare you speak to the young lady like that? Hurry up and kowtow to her to apologize!"

Luo Wanping had overheard their conversation and looked extremely embarrassed.

"Miss?"

The guard was taken aback at first, but then immediately knelt down after realizing what was happening.

"It was my fault for being blind and neglecting you, Miss. Please forgive me! I promise I will never do it again!"

"I still prefer your defiant attitude from earlier."

Luo Chujiu raised her hand to touch her chin, looking him over with a mocking gaze.

"Young Miss, I was blind! I kowtow to you!"

After saying that, the guard began to kowtow to Luo Chujiu repeatedly, hoping to beg for her forgiveness.

But no matter how much the guards kowtowed and apologized, Luo Chujiu remained unmoved.

After that, Luo Wanping stepped in again to act as a peacemaker.

"Xiao Jiu, since he already knows he was wrong, you..."

"Father, just now at the Xiao Prince's residence, you said you would punish this arrogant servant severely. How come you changed your mind as soon as you returned to the Luo residence and now want me to forgive him?"

Luo Chujiu looked at Luo Wanping with a puzzled expression, showing him no respect whatsoever.

Upon seeing this, Luo Wanping was stunned for a long time before ordering someone to give him twenty strokes of the cane as punishment.

Luo Chujiu didn't dwell on it any longer and stepped into the gates of the Luo residence first.

Luo Wanping frowned and followed closely behind.

Luo Chujiu strode in and went straight to the main hall, then found a seat and sat down without needing anyone's permission.

"Didn't Father say he wanted to introduce me to the people in the manor? There's no better time than now. Let's call them all out and let the women get to know me properly, so that we don't get into any trouble later and end up getting a beating."

Luo Chujiu's words were so reasonable and well-founded that Luo Wanping didn't know how to refute them.

"Sir, why are you so late today?"

After hearing that Luo Wanping had returned to the manor, Steward Chen rushed over immediately.

The master came home much later than usual. What happened?

"Go and invite the Madam, the Second Master, the Second Madam, the Second Miss, and the Eldest Young Master. Also, gather all the servants in the mansion and have them wait for instructions in the courtyard."

"Yes, I will make arrangements now."

Butler Chen was puzzled, but dared not disobey Luo Wanping's words, so he quickly went to fetch someone.

Luo Chujiu looked at the tea and snacks on the table and began to enjoy them on her own. By the time Luo Jiangshi and the others arrived at the main hall, Luo Chujiu had already eaten half a meal.

"Sir, what is the matter that you have summoned us all in such a hurry?"

Lady Luo Jiang was completely oblivious to Luo Chujiu sitting to the side, and was only focused on looking at Luo Wanping, who was sitting in the main seat, and asking him for the reason.

Luo Wanxing, accompanied by his wife Luo Sunshi and their children Luo Chuxue and Luo Chenyang, followed closely behind.

Then came Aunt Liu and Luo Chentian, the eldest son of the concubine. "Everyone's here. Xiao Jiu, shouldn't you get up and greet your elders and younger siblings?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Chujiu raised her eyes, patted the crumbs of pastry in her hand, and then stood up to look at Luo Jiangshi, who was at the forefront.

“Mother, it has been many years since we last met. You still look young and beautiful. I imagine that you and Father have been doing well even while I was not by your side to take care of you.”

When Luo Jiangshi heard Luo Wanping call her "Xiao Jiu", she was stunned. Then, when she heard Luo Chujiu call her "Mother", she took a step back and staggered.

That jinx is back!
"Auntie, please be careful."

Luo Chuxue reached out and steadily supported Luo Jiangshi, preventing her from losing her composure.

"Big brother, is this Xiao Jiu? He doesn't look much like he did when he was little?"

Luo Wanxing immediately looked at Luo Chujiu's eyes; they were dark and deep, unlike the heterochromatic eyes she had at birth.

"I have already confirmed Xiao Jiu's identity; the identity jade pendant cannot be faked."

Luo Wanping made the final decision, confirming Luo Chujiu's status as the eldest daughter, leaving no room for doubt.

Upon hearing this, Lady Luosun quickly smiled and tried to lighten the mood:

"So it's Xiao Jiu who's gone home. My brother is really something, why didn't he let me know in advance? I, as her aunt, didn't even have time to prepare a gift for her. How rude of me."

Luo Sunshi walked up to Luo Chujiu with a smile and looked her up and down several times.

"Xue'er greets her elder sister. It has been many years since we last met. We are all very happy to see her return to the manor."

Luo Chuxue smiled and gave Luo Chujiu a greeting as a peer, then expressed her joy.

The moment Luo Chujiu saw Luo Chuxue, she sensed an extremely strong yin energy emanating from her, and upon closer inspection, she noticed a dark red glow deep between her brows.

This person and she are natural enemies! She herself is born with a Xuan body, while Luo Chuxue is born with a Yin body!
“Xiao Jiu, this is your mother, these two are your uncle and aunt, this is Chu Xue, your cousin, Chen Yang is your cousin, and Chen Tian is the son of your Aunt Liu.”

Luo Wanping introduced them to Luo Chujiu in a very calm manner. Luo Chujiu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and then followed his gaze to greet them one by one.

"This humble servant, Liu, greets the eldest young lady. Chen Tian, ​​why don't you hurry up and greet your elder sister?"

Aunt Liu glanced at Luo Chentian, gesturing for him and Luo Chujiu to pay their respects.

"Chen Tian greets elder sister. May elder sister be blessed."

As for Luo Chenyang, the legitimate son of the second wife, he was full of disdain for Luo Chujiu and didn't even greet her.

"Now that we have all met, Xiao Jiu will be the eldest daughter of the Luo family. No one is allowed to neglect her. This is my intention, and it is also the decree of the Emperor. No one may disobey it."

"Yes--"

The group responded in unison. All the servants in the mansion had already gathered in the courtyard. Faced with the sudden appearance of the young lady, they were all bewildered, but had no choice but to submit.

"Is Xiao Jiu satisfied now?"

Luo Wanping looked at Luo Chujiu and asked, as if she were an ignorant child and he, as her father, was indulging her and going along with her wishes.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chujiu smiled and said, "Of course I'm satisfied. Thank you, Father, for clearing my name. Otherwise, most people in the manor wouldn't even know that you have a daughter."

"Let's not talk about the past anymore. From now on, you are the eldest daughter of the Luo family. No one will dare to mistreat or ignore you."

Luo Wanping chuckled lightly, dismissing Luo Chujiu's words with a flourish.

Seeing this, Luo Chujiu looked at Luo Jiangshi again. Ever since she learned of Luo Jiangshi's identity, Luo Jiangshi's gaze towards her had been filled with disgust and fear.

"Mother, I will do my best to be filial to you from now on, so as to make up for the regret of not being able to serve you at your knees for the past ten years."
