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

Chapter 133 Luo Wanping is filled with regret

"Your Majesty, I am willing to vouch for the new Imperial Advisor; she will certainly be competent for the position."

"I am also willing to vouch for my junior sister's mastery of esoteric arts, which far surpasses mine. She is worthy of being the Imperial Preceptor."

Xiao Beiming and Nalan Qingyin stood up together to vouch for Luo Chujiu. Even if the other ministers had any objections, they dared not voice them in front of everyone and could only grumble inwardly.

Luo Chujiu found it amusing to see how they were all unwilling to accept defeat but unable to do anything about it.

It's truly pathetic for officials to be like them.

"In that case, it is settled that Luo Chujiu will become the next Imperial Preceptor. I do not wish to hear any more rumors or comments questioning the abilities of the next Imperial Preceptor."

Xiao Jinglin's decisive statement silenced everyone.

After the court session, someone stopped Luo Wanping and said that he hadn't told him in advance that his daughter was the next Imperial Advisor.

Luo Wanping smiled wryly, knowing that his colleagues were mocking him.

In the capital, who doesn't know that Luo Chujiu has severed ties with the Luo family? His Majesty, the Prince, and the Imperial Advisor were all present at the time, and their word is law; there's no going back on it.

After returning to the Luo residence, Luo Wanping locked himself in his study, unable to understand how things had come to this.

When Luo Jiangshi saw that Luo Wanping had not come to see her after court, she assumed that something had happened, so she took the chicken soup she had prepared and brought it to the study.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Who goes there? Didn't I tell you not to bother me?"

"My lord, it's me. I've made you some chicken soup."

Upon hearing this, the person inside was taken aback at first, then opened the study door and welcomed Luo Jiangshi inside.

"Why did you bring it here yourself?"

"I had nothing to do, so I came to see you, sir. This chicken soup has been simmering for two hours and is very delicious. Please try it, sir," said Madam Luo Jiang, smiling at Luo Wanping.

Luo Wanping nodded and smiled, then drank the chicken soup that Luo Jiangshi had brought.

After Luo Wanping finished drinking the chicken soup, Luo Jiangshi asked him:
"Did something happen at court today, my lord? Why do you look so frowning? Although I am a woman, perhaps telling you will ease your worries."

Luo Wanping looked up at Luo Jiangshi, hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed and decided to tell her:

"Madam, you may not know this, but a major event did indeed occur in court today, and it is somewhat related to you and me, however..."

"but what?"

"But this connection isn't the good kind."

"Sir, please stop keeping me in suspense and tell me what it is?"

Hearing Luo Wanping say this, Luo Jiangshi also began to worry. Could it be that the Luo family was about to face a great disaster?

"The Imperial Preceptor is about to step down, and the next Imperial Preceptor will be Luo Chujiu, who has already severed ties with us."

"what?!"

These words were enough to shock Luo Jiangshi to no end. She never expected that Luo Chujiu would become the new Imperial Advisor!
"It's absolutely true. It was personally confirmed by His Majesty, Prince Xiao, and the Imperial Advisor, who all said that she is capable enough to take on the role of Imperial Advisor."

"But she's only a teenager, and a woman at that. How can she be the Grand Preceptor of the Nanzhao Kingdom?"

“My lady, although I am reluctant to admit it, it is the truth. When Luo Chujiu was in the Luo family, we all witnessed her abilities. She is no ordinary person. Moreover, the Imperial Advisor said that Luo Chujiu’s esoteric arts are far superior to his. I’m afraid no one can stop her from becoming the new Imperial Advisor.” After Luo Wanping finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.

If I had known this day would come, I shouldn't have agreed to sever ties with Luo Chujiu and the Luo family in the first place!
If Luo Chujiu were still the eldest daughter of the Luo family, he would wholeheartedly approve of her becoming the Imperial Advisor! Such a glorious achievement for the Luo family is an immense honor!

But now, it's too late to say anything.
Lady Luo's face was also very ugly. She never expected that Luo Chujiu was so capable that she was about to become the Imperial Advisor.

After leaving Luo Wanping's place, Luo Jiangshi went to find Wu Xing and told him about it. Wu Xing was also very surprised.

"How could this be? Did the Imperial Advisor appoint Luo Chujiu as the next Imperial Advisor?"

"That's what I heard Luo Wanping say. What should we do now? What if she finds out what happened back then?"

"Cousin, don't worry. Only the two of us know what happened back then. As long as we don't tell anyone, no one will know the truth. Besides, the Luo family has severed ties with Luo Chujiu. As long as we don't provoke her in the future, she shouldn't go to extremes. After all, you are her biological parents. If she goes too far, she will be criticized by the world."

Wu Xing comforted Luo Jiang Shi.

After hearing Wu Xing's words, Luo Jiangshi gradually calmed down.

"Cousin, from now on, just pretend you don't have this daughter. Anyway, she has never treated you as her parents. From now on, cut off all contact and never see each other again. You are still the mistress of the Luo family."

Wu Xing held Luo Jiang's hand tightly, comforting her.

A hint of tenderness flashed in Luo Jiangshi's eyes, and then she looked at Wu Xing:

"Ah Xing, thank goodness you're here, otherwise I would have lost my mind."

"Cousin, I will always be with you, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

Luo Jiangshi blushed and nodded, enjoying the warmth between herself and Wu Xing.

Meanwhile, Luo Wanping, who was cuckolded, was completely unaware that his wife and her so-called cousin had been having an affair for a long time, as he was focused on his career in the officialdom.

Soon, the news that the Nanzhao Kingdom was going to have a female national teacher spread throughout the capital, and then from the capital to other counties.

Today, the name Luo Chujiu is becoming a household name.

Some families even let their daughters out of their homes to broaden their horizons, hoping that their daughters might one day become officials.
Meanwhile, Luo Chujiu herself was still being tortured at the Imperial Advisor's Hall. She was bored with fortune telling every day. She had to calculate the birth dates of important members of the royal family one by one and also divine the fate of the country, which was very tiring.

Nalan Qingyin had already let go and handed everything over to Luo Chujiu. He would only check Luo Chujiu's work once she finished, and only let her go after confirming that everything was in order.

The moment Luo Chujiu stepped out of the Imperial Preceptor's Hall felt like the most relaxed moment of her life.

Especially since there was a handsome guy waiting for him outside the Imperial Advisor's residence.

"Brother Beiming, how long have you been waiting for me?"

"Hurry up and get in the carriage, it's very cold."

"Alright, let's get in the carriage together."

The two of them climbed into the carriage together from the cold wind. There was a charcoal brazier inside, and they were immediately enveloped in warmth.

"New Year's Eve is approaching, and I haven't celebrated the New Year down the mountain yet. In the past, when we were on Xuanfeng Mountain, our master would give us lucky money. This year, I'm not on Xuanfeng Mountain, so I can't ask our master for lucky money."

Luo Chujiu said with some regret.
