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

Chapter 9 Go back and tell Xiao Beiming, this young lady is angry.
"Is eldest sister still upset about what Auntie said earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Chujiu looked up at Luo Chuxue, then smiled and replied:

"How could that be? Mother is just sick. How could a daughter blame her?"

Luo Chujiu's words left Luo Chuxue speechless, unsure how to respond, so she could only smile.

"It's best if my elder sister thinks that way. In the years since my elder sister left, I've been the one taking care of my aunt. My aunt didn't even have anyone to talk to. Now that my elder sister is back, my aunt will have someone to talk to."

Luo Chujiu immediately understood Luo Chuxue's opening remarks.

'I've been by your mother's side for so many years. Even if you come back now, don't think you can take my place in her heart!'

Is that what Luo Chuxue meant?

"Your name is Chuxue, right? From now on, I'll call you Xue-meimei, okay?"

"It's entirely up to you, elder sister." Luo Chuxue smiled and did not object.

"Sister Xue, seventeen years have passed, and I haven't been by Mother's side. It's my dereliction of duty. Fortunately, you're here, and Mother has found solace. But now that I'm back, I won't trouble you anymore, Sister Xue. You'll have more time to spend with Uncle and Aunt, won't you?"

Luo Chuxue:
Soon, the courtyard where Luo Chujiu lived:
Grass Frost Pavilion.

“Eldest sister, we’ve arrived at your courtyard. I live in the Pearl Pavilion next door to yours. If you need someone to talk to, you can come and find me.”

"Thank you for your trouble, Sister Xue. Take care and don't see me off."

Luo Chujiu nodded, indicating that she could leave.

Then Luo Chujiu led Feiyun and swaggered into her territory.

Upon entering Caoshuang Pavilion, one finds a long corridor surrounded by overgrown weeds. The environment only improves after walking a few steps.

Inside the courtyard, two maids and an old woman were already waiting to be ordered around.

"This servant is Qianyun—"

"This servant girl is clever—"

"Old servant Jiang Shi—"

"Greetings, young lady. May you be blessed with good fortune."

The three people bowed to Luo Chujiu when they saw her.

"Were you sent by Mother to serve you?"

"Replying to Miss, it was the First Madam who arranged for us to serve you. From now on, this old servant will take care of your daily life in the Grass Frost Pavilion."

Granny Jiang responded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chujiu didn't care and went straight to the inner bedroom to look around at the room's layout.

A bed, a table, two chairs, a wardrobe, and a screen.

There were no unnecessary decorations at all; her blood mother truly didn't want to do any superficial work.

Granny Jiang came in with Luo Chujiu. Seeing Luo Chujiu looking her up and down, she deliberately asked her tentatively:

"Is the young lady satisfied with the room? It was all arranged by the First Madam. Although it's a bit empty, the young lady can add whatever she likes in the future. The First Madam really went to great lengths."

"I am satisfied with Mother's arrangements. There is nothing I need to buy. I am tired. Feiyun, stay and serve me. You may all leave."

Luo Chujiu sat down on the stool and began to shoo people away.

Granny Jiang's smile froze on her face. Although unwilling, she still waited outside with her two maids, Qianyun and Nongqiao.

"Miss, this room is far too simple. How could they treat you like this?"

Although Fei Yun was a newcomer like Luo Chu Jiu, she could already see the differential treatment she received from the Luo family. From the name of Caoshuang Pavilion to the layout and decorations of the courtyard, it was clear that her young mistress was not valued!

"The house is simple, but it can accommodate you. It's fine. You can just choose any house in the yard to stay in. You don't need to worry about me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Feiyun had nowhere to confide her grievances. Since her young mistress had said so, what could she, as a maid, do?

Luo Chujiu lay on the bed with her legs crossed, thinking about how to get the Luo family to take the initiative to sever ties with her.

The Grandmaster really put her in a difficult position. It would have been so much better if she could have brought it up herself, but the Luo family had to take the initiative, otherwise they would suffer a backlash.

Sigh, she didn't want to stay in the Luo residence at all. She'd rather live in the Xiao Prince's residence, at least Xiao Beiming was a handsome guy!
At least she could feast her eyes! She could even take advantage of Xiao Beiming when he wasn't looking! She could take advantage of him!
She couldn't bring herself to harm the few men in the Luo family: two old men and her two adopted brothers.

"Miss, Steward Nan from the Xiao Prince's Mansion has arrived."

Upon hearing Fei Yun's words, Luo Chujiu suddenly sat up and walked out barefoot.

"Steward Nan, what brings you here? Is it because the Prince misses me and wants me to return to the Prince's residence?"

Luo Chujiu looked at Nan Ke with anticipation.

Nan Ke noticed that she was barefoot, immediately looked away, lowered his eyes slightly, and handed Luo Chujiu a piece of paper.

"Miss Luo, this is Fei Yun's indenture, which the Prince sent me to deliver. From now on, Fei Yun is yours."

Why is this future princess going out barefoot! A woman's feet should not be seen by others so casually!

If the prince finds out he's seen the future princess's delicate feet, wouldn't he kill him?!

"Young Miss, how can you meet a man without your shoes on! Quickly, Qianyun, go and fetch the Young Miss's shoes!"

Upon seeing this, Granny Jiang nearly fainted! This young lady was far too... utterly lacking in manners!

Luo Chujiu didn't understand why they all reacted so strongly to her not wearing shoes. They only breathed a sigh of relief after Qianyun brought her shoes and Luo Chujiu put them on.

"Doesn't your lord have any message for me to convey?"

"Miss Luo, no."

Luo Chujiu was displeased upon hearing Nan Ke's words.

"Alright, you can go now. Go back and tell Xiao Beiming that I'm very angry, and that he should figure out a way to coax me himself, otherwise I won't treat him!"

Luo Chujiu feigned a fierce demeanor to threaten Nan Ke, making him relay a message to her.

Nan Ke smiled helplessly, said he would definitely pass on the message, and then left the Luo residence.

“Young Miss, in prestigious families, a woman’s feet can only be seen by her future husband. What you just did was a serious taboo! You must not be so willful and reckless in the future.”

Hearing Granny Jiang exaggerate the seriousness of the matter, Luo Chujiu couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Look at what Granny Jiang is saying. My father saw my feet right after I was born, and it didn't matter to me."

Feudal remnants are unacceptable!
I'm happy to show my feet to others, what's it to you?
Besides, Nan Ke looked away immediately and didn't see anything, so who gave her the right to babble on like this?
When Granny Jiang heard Luo Chujiu say this, she was so angry that she was speechless and didn't know how to refute it. After a long while, she finally spoke:

"Besides the master and the future son-in-law, Miss, you cannot let other men see your feet. It's improper!"

"Oh."

Luo Chujiu responded, then turned around and went straight into the house, pulling Feiyun inside as well.

Granny Jiang was furious! How could this young lady be so stubborn! It was infuriating!
