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

Chapter 118 Luo Chuxue Rejects the Cold Second Young Master

“Young Master Leng is very good, but Xue’er is too uncouth and I’m afraid she is not good enough for him.”

Luo Chuxue didn't mince words and directly rejected Luo Jiangshi's matchmaking offer.

Lady Luo was also quite surprised that Xue'er hadn't taken a liking to the Second Young Master Leng.
However, there's no rush. Xue'er has just come of age, so we can take our time to get to know her.

Just as Lady Luo was about to politely decline the offer from the Second Young Master Leng, she heard him say:
"How could that be? I have long admired Miss Luo, how could I be unworthy of her? If Miss Luo is willing to marry me, I will certainly treat her well and will never let her down!"

Leng Wang's words caused the four women present to frown slightly.

What's wrong with this young master Leng? Xue'er already rejected him in her words, so why is he so ungrateful and confessing his feelings in public?

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Xue'er and he had been in contact for a long time, which has ruined the reputation of their daughter!
"Thank you for your kindness, Second Young Master Leng. I know that I am uncouth and cannot compare to your elegance and refinement. Besides, I already have someone I love, so I can only disappoint you."

When Luo Chuxue saw that the man was still shamelessly confessing his feelings to her, her disgust grew even stronger.

Leng Wang's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing Luo Chuxue's words:
Who is your ideal partner?

"This has nothing to do with Young Master Leng. I hope Young Master Leng will have some self-respect." Luo Chuxue's attitude gradually turned cold.

“Young Master Leng, since my girl has no interest, we will not force her. Thank you for coming here today.”

Seeing that things were developing in a way that seemed to be beyond expectations, Madam Luo quickly spoke up to stop the situation.

Seeing that even Old Madam Luo had spoken, Leng Wang knew that there was no longer any possibility of this marriage.

"It was my rudeness, and I hope the old lady will forgive me."

"It's alright, it was our fault for being negligent. Would Young Master Leng like to stay for lunch?"

"No, I have some other matters to attend to, so I will not linger any longer. Farewell."

After saying that, Leng Wang left directly.

After Leng Wang left, Old Madam Luo looked at Luo Chuxue with displeasure:

"Xue'er, you just now did not behave like a proper young lady."

"Grandmother, please forgive Xue'er's rudeness. That Second Young Master Leng is really not a good match."

"How do you know he's not a good match?" Old Madam Luo frowned and asked in return.

Luo Chuxue gritted her teeth and confessed cruelly:

"Grandmother, two years ago, this young master Leng harassed me. He used foul language, which made me feel extremely embarrassed and ashamed. So when I saw that the family Grandmother and Aunt were arranging a marriage for Xue'er with this young master Leng, I couldn't stand it, and that's why I spoke up to mock him."

As she spoke, Luo Chuxue's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Everyone present was shocked to hear Luo Chuxue's words.

"My dear daughter, is what you're saying true? Is he really that dissolute?" Madam Luo asked Luo Chuxue with heartache.

“Of course, I wouldn’t dare joke about my reputation.” Luo Chuxue’s eyes were red, and she looked pitiful.

"That brat! He's so arrogant! He actually wants to marry a daughter of the Luo family. He's just delusional! Xue'er, don't worry. Your grandmother will investigate thoroughly when she finds a wife for you in the future. This was our oversight, and I hope you won't take it to heart."

When Madam Luo heard Luo Chuxue's words, she knew that it was probably true. Otherwise, why would she have such a cold expression when she saw Young Master Leng?
At this moment, Lady Luo was also filled with regret. Why did she choose such a person for Xue'er to meet?
"Xue'er, it's all my fault for not recognizing the right person. I hope you won't blame me. I'll definitely find someone better in the future and I'll investigate that person thoroughly. Don't worry," Madam Luo quickly added.

"Xue'er knows that Grandmother and Aunt did not do it on purpose, and dares not blame them. She just hopes that Grandmother and Aunt will not blame Xue'er for being ungrateful."

"How could that be? Good child, don't cry. Auntie apologizes to you and gives you a gift. Didn't you really like Auntie's ruby ​​headdress before? Auntie is giving it to you as compensation. Don't refuse it anymore."

To appease Luo Chuxue, Madam Luo Jiang went to great lengths. "Then Xue'er thanks Aunt for her kindness."

After calming Luo Chuxue down, they had someone take her back to her courtyard.

After Luo Chuxue and Luo Sunshi left, Old Madam Luo looked at Luo Jiangshi reproachfully:

"You really are something. I trusted you, which is why I agreed to let him come over. Who knew that the marriage wouldn't happen and we almost became enemies?"

"Mother, it was my fault. I will remember this lesson and carefully choose a husband for Xue'er so that this situation will not happen again," Madam Luo Jiang quickly apologized.

"Alright, let's not bring this up again. We'll send a small gift to the Leng family as our apology. We hope they won't hold a grudge against us."

"Yes, daughter-in-law will make the arrangements."

"Okay, then let's do it this way."

After saying that, Madam Luo returned to her own courtyard.

Luo Jiangshi looked utterly defeated; she had truly meant well but had done something wrong.

After returning to her courtyard, Luo Chuxue revealed a smug smile.

Now, all that's left is for the Prince of Chang'an to come knocking on our door.

That day, she went out and successfully created a chance encounter with the Prince of Chang'an, leaving a very good impression on him. Presumably, it wouldn't be long before the Prince of Chang'an would come to visit her.

She was confident that if she went out for a few trips, the Prince of Chang'an would come to her door to ask for her hand in marriage.

"Miss, what a close call today! Luckily, you were clever enough to refuse Young Master Leng, otherwise you really would have married that scoundrel!"

Caiying said indignantly.

"This is just the first step; the road ahead will only be more difficult."

Luo Chuxue has a lot more to do than this.

She was determined to marry a good husband so that she could escape the abyss of the Luo family.

At this moment, Luo Chuxue envied Luo Chujiu, feeling that Luo Chujiu's choice to sever ties with her family was so wise.

Unlike myself now, stuck in a quagmire, I can only save myself if I want to get out; there is no one else who can help me.

Caiying looked at her young mistress and felt increasingly unfamiliar with her:
For some reason, she felt that her mistress had changed; her eyes were always filled with gloom and pain. She felt like she couldn't understand her mistress anymore.
"Caiying, I'm tired. You can go now. I don't need anyone to wait on me. I can just lie down for a while."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

After saying that, Caiying left.

Upon learning that his elder sister had held her coming-of-age ceremony, Luo Chentian, who was far away in Jiangnan, also sent a gift from Jiangnan to the capital.

Luo Chujiu personally signed for the gift, and she was grateful for Luo Chentian's thoughtfulness in sending it from so far away.

Upon opening it, she found a beautiful set of clothes and jewelry, already complete, so Luo Chuxue didn't need to do anything else to coordinate.

"Young Master Luo is so thoughtful, sending Miss a coming-of-age gift even from all the way to Jiangnan." Fei Yun praised Luo Chujiu, seeing that she seemed to really like the dress.

"Yes, that kid Chen Tian is really thoughtful. I'll wear this dress to the palace tomorrow."
