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

Chapter 70 Reencounter with Shen Zangfeng

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a generous master buy a bracelet for his maid in a place like this.

Luo Chuxue and Sun Yanzhen, who were standing nearby, were also quite surprised. They never expected that Luo Chujiu was actually a maid who bought bracelets.

"Do you have any money on you? Buying bracelets for three maids? Are you crazy?" Sun Yanzhen looked at Luo Chujiu with a puzzled expression, not understanding her purpose in doing so.

“I have a senior brother who is the Imperial Advisor, and I have a prince fiancé. Do you think I have enough money? Oh, right, I also have a cousin who is a Noble Consort. That would be enough to buy this jewelry store. Don’t talk nonsense here.”

Luo Chujiu didn't even glance at Sun Yanzhen before she retorted.

Upon hearing Luo Chujiu's words, the shopkeeper instantly realized her identity.

"So it's Miss Luo. I was blind. Are Miss Luo's maids satisfied with these jade bracelets? If not, our shop has even better ones. Let me bring them out for Miss Luo to take a look."

After learning Luo Chujiu's identity, the shopkeeper's smile widened, and he went to get a better bracelet for Luo Chujiu to see.

"Miss, no need, these bracelets are fine enough, we'll just choose from these."

Feiyun was genuinely afraid that the shopkeeper would bring out even more expensive bracelets for them to choose from, which would be too much for them, so she quickly stopped him.

"Alright then, hurry up and choose. After you've picked out the bracelets, I'll take you to a restaurant for dinner."

"Yes--"

Feiyun, Qingying, and Caizhao each chose a bracelet that didn't look too expensive, and then thanked Luo Chujiu.

"Shopkeeper, how much are these three bracelets?"

"The total is ninety-five taels. I'll give you a discount and charge you ninety taels. I hope Miss Luo will continue to patronize our business in the future," the shopkeeper said to Luo Chujiu with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chujiu immediately took out a one-hundred-tael silver note, the shopkeeper gave her ten taels in change, and then Luo Chujiu swaggered away from the jewelry store with her maids.

"Who is this person? Are they deliberately showing off in front of us?" Sun Yanzhen couldn't help but complain.

You have to understand, as young ladies from wealthy families, they can't just casually take out a hundred taels of silver, let alone buy bracelets for their maids. Luo Chujiu is truly insane!
Luo Chuxue's eyes were cold and gloomy, and she was wringing the handkerchief in her hand to pieces!
"Yanzhen, please don't hold it against my elder sister. That's just her personality. If she has offended you, I apologize on her behalf."

"Chu Xue, why are you apologizing to me? It's Luo Chu Jiu who's the problem. We've grown up together since we were little, I know your personality better than anyone, why would I blame you?"

Sun Yanzhen looked at Luo Chuxue with heartache, feeling sorry for her being ignored and bullied by Luo Chujiu.

"I'm glad you're not angry. Let's go look around somewhere else."

Luo Chujiu bought the bracelets here for her maid to wear, and she felt disgusted just thinking about it. She would never buy jewelry here again!

The shopkeeper saw the two of them whispering to each other at the door, not buying anything, and looked at them with disdain.

If you can't afford it, then don't get in his way of doing business in the store, really.

After leaving the jewelry store, the group went straight to a restaurant and ordered a large table of dishes.

Just as I was about to pick up my chopsticks, I ran into an old acquaintance again.

"Miss Luo, we meet again."

Shen Zangfeng was celebrating his academic achievement with his friends today. After finishing his meal, he came out of the private room and saw Luo Chujiu and her three maids.

“Nephew, you’re so rude. You should call me Auntie.”

Luo Chujiu looked up at Shen Zangfeng and said, half-jokingly and half-seriously. Upon hearing this, Shen Zangfeng burst out laughing, "Little Aunt."

"Hey, my good nephew, are you here to eat? Would you like to join us?"

"No, I've already eaten and was just about to leave. Please enjoy your meal, Auntie. You can put your bill on my tab."

"I can't accept that, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Luo Chujiu grinned and accepted Shen Zangfeng's kindness.

Shen Zangfeng shook his head and smiled, then left.

"Miss, that young man was really handsome. How did you meet him?"

Seeing how familiar Luo Chujiu and Shen Zangfeng seemed, Cai Zhao couldn't help but ask.

"Is it good-looking? I think it's alright, but Xiao Beiming is still better looking." Luo Chujiu said dismissively.

“The prince is not someone that can be compared to ordinary people. After all, Prince Xiao used to have a title called ‘Jade-Faced Young Master’.” Cai Zhao inadvertently revealed the nickname Xiao Beiming was given in private.

"Jade-faced young master? That title suits Xiao Beiming quite well, hahaha, I like it."

"Miss, you still haven't told me who that young man was?"

"Him? The newly crowned top scholar. What, you like him? Shall I play matchmaker for you two?"

Luo Chujiu couldn't help but tease Cai Zhao.

"No, that's not true at all. Such a handsome young man is beyond my reach. I just think he's good-looking. How could I possibly ask for anything else?" Cai Zhao truly had no other intentions; she was simply admiring him.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chujiu laughed; she had only meant it as a joke.

The four of them, master and servants, ate their fill at the restaurant and then left.

As fate would have it, they ran into Luo Chuxue and Sun Yanzhen on the street again.

"It's you again? Why are you so persistent? Didn't I check the almanac before I went out today? What bad luck!"

Sun Yanzhen looked at Luo Chujiu with disdain.

Luo Chujiu laughed in exasperation, "Yeah, it's really bad luck not to have my fortune told before going out."

Who are you calling unlucky?

"You answered so quickly, of course I'm talking about you, oh, and Luo Chuxue next to you."

Luo Chujiu indiscriminately fired, both of them were unlucky!
Upon hearing this, Sun Yanzhen was furious and was about to step forward to argue with Luo Chujiu, but Luo Chuxue stopped her.

"Zhenzhen, don't do this. We're still on the street. It's not appropriate."

Luo Chuxue didn't want to see Sun Yanzhen and Luo Chujiu really clash, as it wouldn't be good for her either, and neither of them would get any advantage over Luo Chujiu.

"Chu Xue, you're so kind. She bullied you right in front of me, and you still put up with it!" Sun Yanzhen truly felt sorry for Luo Chu Xue and wanted to stand up for her.

Luo Chujiu found it amusing to see the two of them acting out their tune. She was unlucky to run into them and have to be teased by them in front of her. Did they really think she was a pushover?
"Ladies, have you said enough? If not, then stop blocking the way. We're going back. Don't you have homes? Standing in the street barking like that is truly indecent and improper. You call yourselves daughters of noble families? I think you're no different from country bumpkins. If you ask me, you two aren't even as good as country bumpkins. At least country bumpkins are hardworking and down-to-earth. You two? Heh, I'd better not comment, or you'll both be upset."
