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

Chapter 101 Lady Luo Jiang and Wu Xing were once engaged.

"Yes, please call Granny Yun into the house. I have something to ask her."

Luo Chujiu nodded, then asked Feiyun to invite Granny Yun into the house.

At the same time, Feiyun's Dongpo pork and other dishes were also served.

Granny Yun quickly entered the room and stood inside with Fei Yun.

"This old servant greets the young lady."

"Granny Yun, there's no need for such formalities. Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?"

Luo Chujiu looked up at Granny Yun and asked.

"Reporting to Miss, this old servant has investigated thoroughly. Would you like to hear it now, or after Miss has finished her meal?"

"No need, let's talk about it now. I want to use your gossip to make my meal more interesting," Luo Chujiu said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Fei Yun and Granny Yun both laughed, and then Granny Yun recounted what she had discovered.

Luo Chujiu listened with great interest, and even complained that there wasn't enough rice, so she asked Feiyun to get her another bowl.

It turns out that Granny Yun claimed to be visiting her hometown, but in reality, she went to Luo Jiang's hometown and investigated Luo Jiang's affairs in her youth thoroughly.

The Jiang family was very famous in the Northwest, and people knew about Luo Jiangshi's past without even asking around.

Luo Jiangshi became famous in the Northwest at the age of fourteen, not only because of her talent and beauty, but also because of the broken engagement between the Jiang family and the Wu family.

Naluo Jiangshi and Wuxing were betrothed since childhood. They were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship.

However, Luo Jiangshi's father climbed the social ladder by associating with powerful figures in the capital and befriended the late Master Luo. Just then, Master Luo was worried about the marriages of his two sons. Seeing that there was a woman of marriageable age in Master Jiang's family, he arranged for Luo Jiangshi to marry his eldest son, Luo Wanping.

Old Master Luo was unaware that Luo Jiangshi was already engaged; otherwise, he would never have agreed to the marriage.

After returning to the mansion, the first thing Jiang's father did was to break off the engagement with the Wu family. He then locked Luo Jiang in the house, preventing her from leaving, and forced her to sever her relationship with Wu Xing.

When Luo Jiangshi turned sixteen and reached marriageable age, she was sent to the capital to get married and became Luo Wanping's wife.

Feiyun, who was listening from the side, was also dumbfounded. She never expected that Luo Jiangshi would have such a past.

After hearing this, Luo Chujiu suddenly understood many things she hadn't understood before.

Therefore, the cousin who was temporarily staying at the Luo residence was not Luo Jiang's real cousin, but her childhood sweetheart. The reason he entered the residence under such a identity was only to facilitate his illicit affair with Luo Jiang.

"This is what this old servant has discovered, but its authenticity remains to be determined, as there is no substantial evidence," said Granny Yun, bowing her head.

"I understand. You've worked hard these past few days, Granny Yun. I'll grant you two days off to rest well, Fei Yun—"

As soon as Luo Chujiu called out to Feiyun, Feiyun immediately handed Granny Yun a bag of silver, containing a full one hundred taels of silver.

"Oh dear, how can this be? Serving the young lady is my duty, how can I possibly accept her reward!"

Granny Yun was terrified and dared not take the bag of reward money.

"Granny Yun, please take it. You know Miss's personality. She treats us all very well. While you were away, Miss even took me and Qingying and Cai Zhao out to buy jewelry and clothes. You didn't get any, so Miss is giving you this money as a subsidy. Buy whatever you like."

Feiyun smiled and advised Granny Yun. Upon hearing this, Granny Yun immediately nodded and thanked Luo Chujiu, then carefully accepted the bag of silver. After Granny Yun left, Luo Chujiu finished her meal.

"Feiyun, take this place away. I'm full and need to rest. Don't disturb me."

"Yes, slaves obey."

Feiyun dared not question Luo Chujiu's words, so she immediately cleared away the bowls and chopsticks and waited at the door.

Luo Chujiu took off her coat and lay on the bed, pondering her origins.

After hearing what Granny Yun said, Luo Chujiu even began to doubt that she was not born to Luo Wanping and Luo Jiangshi, but rather to Luo Jiangshi and that adulterer.

But then she thought about it again and realized that this didn't make sense. After all, she had calculated that she was indeed related to her adoptive parents by blood, but had no connection whatsoever with that witch doctor.

Or is it because she is the daughter of Luo Jiangshi and Luo Wanping that Luo Jiangshi hates her so much? She wishes she could kill her the moment she was born?
Just because he wasn't born to her and the man she loved, she treated him like a bastard? And then she conspired with her lover to pin the blame on him?
The more Luo Chujiu thought about it, the more likely it seemed. If that were the case, then she really was innocent.

If she had a choice, she wouldn't want to be born into a loveless family. Who cares if they are her cheap parents?

I didn't look down on them, but they're the ones who look down on me first? How infuriating!

Luo Chujiu felt increasingly disgusted by the thought, and she was determined to cause some trouble for the Luo family!
Then he remembered seeing Luo Chuxue buying medicine at the pharmacy earlier that day. On a whim, he stretched out two fingers and made a stroke on his wrist, summoning back the spirit butterfly from before.

In about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the spirit butterfly flew to Luo Chujiu's side.

Through the perspective of the spirit butterfly, Luo Chujiu learned what kind of medicine Luo Chuxue had bought.

Luo Chujiu was speechless. It was just acne medicine, why was she so nervous? Anyone who didn't know better would think she bought a pregnancy-preserving drug or an abortion pill.

In an instant, Luo Chujiu lost interest in Luo Chuxue's secret and decided it was better to think about how to deal with Luo Jiangshi and that adulterer.

At this moment, Luo Chuxue asked her maid to brew medicine for her, and then drank it all in one gulp.

After taking the medicine, Luo Chuxue kept looking in the mirror. Seeing the pimples on her face, Luo Chuxue almost burst into tears.

“Miss, you don’t need to be nervous. Many maids in the manor have had these pimples. They will disappear after a while. You even went to see a doctor and took medicine, so it will only get better faster.”

Caiying said to Luo Chuxue with a look of comfort.

Upon hearing Caiying's words, Luo Chuxue became even more worried:

"Of course I know these pimples will go away, but some maids were left with marks after their pimples cleared up, and they just can't get rid of them! I absolutely will not allow pimple marks to remain on my face!"

Her face, which she was so proud of, absolutely could not have any flaws.

She has been staying at home for the past few days, and apart from her close friend Caiying, who knows that she has developed acne, no one else knows.

She will only go out and meet people after her acne clears up.

She also went to buy the medicine herself, just in case the doctor prescribed the wrong medicine. So she showed her face to the doctor so that he could prescribe the right medicine and she could feel at ease!

Upon hearing this, Caiying fell silent.

No wonder the young lady is in such a hurry. For young ladies from wealthy families, their face is the most important thing. If their face is injured, it is tantamount to disfigurement, and it will be difficult to find a good marriage.
