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

Chapter 103 Luo Chuxue gives Luo Chenyang some pointers
Luo Chenyang covered his face in disbelief, looking at Luo Chuxue:
"How dare you hit me?"

"I hit you because I wanted to, so what, are you going to hit me back?"

Luo Chuxue looked at Luo Chenyang with a cold face.

Luo Chenyang gritted his teeth, clearly very unwilling, but out of consideration for Luo Chuxue being his own sister, he didn't say anything more.

Seeing Luo Chenyang give in, Luo Chuxue grunted and then had Caiying help Hongluan up.

"Take the silver and go to a doctor to have your face examined. For a woman, appearance is the most important thing, so you don't want to leave a scar."

Luo Chuxue looked at Hongluan and said, while Hongluan looked at Luo Chenyang cautiously, not daring to speak.

"Don't look at him. Starting today, you will be transferred to serve me. You won't need to serve the second young master anymore. Go."

"Yes, thank you, Second Miss."

After saying that, Hongluan quickly took the money to see the doctor.

Luo Chenyang watched Hongluan's departing figure angrily, then questioned Luo Chuxue:
"What on earth do you mean?"

"What I mean is, even if you're angry, you shouldn't take it out on the maids around you. Hongluan has been with you for ten years, serving you since she was a child. How could you be so cruel? If word gets out, people will only say you're a ruthless person. Do you want everyone in the Luo family to be afraid of you?"

Luo Chuxue glared at Luo Chenyang, feeling that his brain was full of mud and he was completely clueless.

Luo Chenyang calmed down after hearing Luo Chuxue's words, but he still didn't think he had done anything wrong.

“Hongluan is my maid. I hit her, so what? Who else dares to say anything? She wouldn’t dare to go around talking about it.”

"Even so, you shouldn't lay a hand on a woman. A man who lays a hand on a woman is the most worthless."

Luo Chuxue looked at Luo Chenyang with disdain. If he weren't her own brother, she wouldn't want to look at him at all, and she felt disgusted.

"Alright, is this all you came here to lecture? If that's the case, you can leave now."

Luo Chenyang looked at Luo Chuxue with complete disapproval.

"You think I wanted to come see you? If Grandmother hadn't told me to come and persuade you, I wouldn't have come to your courtyard at all. It's obvious how you treat the servants so harshly. Please use your brain. Your path to the imperial examinations is now closed, and you can only live off the family business. If your reputation in the family is bad, will everyone be afraid of you? Do you think your uncles would be willing to entrust the Luo family to you? You're incredibly foolish!"

Luo Chuxue made her point to Luo Chenyang all at once. If he still wouldn't listen, that was his own business. Whether he lived or died was none of her concern.

Luo Chenyang wasn't completely stupid; after hearing Luo Chuxue's words, he began to consider the pros and cons.

"Are we just going to let that illegitimate son Luo Chentian bully me and ride roughshod over me?"

Ultimately, Luo Chenyang was still unwilling to accept that Luo Chentian had climbed above him.

"So what? Do you have the ability to pass the imperial examination as well as him? Besides, Chen Tian is currently working in the imperial court, which is different from ordinary officials. He is a close minister of the emperor, and he may be promoted to a high-ranking position in the future. In the officialdom, your achievements are destined to be lower than his. This is already a given fact. So what you can do is to firmly grasp the Luo family's assets. If Luo Chen Tian needs help in the future, you can be of use. If you can't help Luo Chen Tian, ​​then the Luo family will be completely ruined."

Luo Chuxue has a very clear understanding of things.

Neither my aunt nor my mother will likely have another child, so the only male heirs in the Luo family are Luo Chentian and Luo Chenyang. One is an official, and the other is a businessman; they can help each other out. If only Luo Chentian is navigating the officialdom, then Luo Chenyang will eventually be abandoned, and the second branch of the Luo family will fall behind, completely losing to the first branch.

Luo Chenyang frowned, seemingly disagreeing with Luo Chuxue's words, but unable to think of a way to refute her, so he remained silent.

Luo Chuxue had said what she needed to say. If Luo Chenyang still sought his own death, there was nothing she could do.

Luo Chuxue turned around and left Luo Chenyang's courtyard with Caiying.

After Luo Chuxue left, Luo Chenyang pondered for a long time.
"Second Miss, will the Second Young Master really listen to what you say?" Caiying looked at Luo Chuxue with concern.

Caiying felt horrified whenever she thought of the injuries on Hongluan's body.

"I've done what I should do. Whether he listens or not is his business, as long as he doesn't ruin my coming-of-age ceremony."

Luo Chuxue didn't have any expectations for Luo Chenyang. She thought it would be better to spend her time and effort to get closer to Luo Chentian.

Caiying naturally didn't know what Luo Chuxue was thinking, and after hearing Luo Chuxue say that, she didn't ask any more questions.

Meanwhile, Luo Chujiu was not idle either. She racked her brains to figure out how to expose the shameful things Luo Jiangshi had done to the public, preferably in a way that everyone would know about!
However, the right opportunity was still lacking. Even though Luo Chuxue's coming-of-age banquet was just around the corner, it was clear that Luo Jiangshi would not do anything excessive on that day. Even if she wanted to expose Luo Jiangshi, she would not have the chance.

"Ugh--"

This was Luo Chujiu's eighteenth sigh today.

"What is troubling you, Miss? Why don't you tell me, and I'll help you come up with a solution?"

"I have to handle this myself; you can't help me."

Luo Chujiu didn't intend to involve Feiyun in finding a solution, since what she was doing was risky, and she didn't want innocent people to get involved.

"Then why don't you ask the Prince or the Imperial Advisor for help, Miss? If I can't help, perhaps they can?"

"Them? I think they would definitely oppose me if they knew what I was going to do, so I'm not going to tell them."

Exposing the affair between Luo Jiangshi and Wu Xing would inevitably affect Luo Chujiu's reputation. People would naturally suspect that Luo Chujiu was born to Luo Jiangshi and Wu Xing, and many people would point fingers at her.

However, Luo Chujiu herself didn't care at all, and even wished that the whole world would know about it right now.

However, Xiao Beiming and Nalan Qingyin will definitely object; they will not want Luo Chujiu's reputation to be damaged.

Therefore, Luo Chujiu did not take them into consideration.

Feiyun sighed upon hearing Luo Chujiu's words.

"Well, it seems no one can help Miss."

"Alright, why are you sighing? This is the time for me to worry. You just need to serve me well every day and make sure I have enough to eat and wear."

Luo Chujiu smiled as she looked at Feiyun, thinking that Feiyun was becoming more and more like a little old lady, so talkative, wanting to control everything.
