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

Chapter 21 Rude words

Having lost face, Lady Luo could only force a smile:
"Please forgive my daughter. She was raised in the mountains and hasn't learned these rules yet. Please forgive her if she has offended anyone."

The matchmaker's expression was quite interesting; even though Luo Jiangshi said that, she was still very ashamed and indignant.

"With Miss Luo's temper, I'm afraid she won't find a good husband in the future. I was just being nosy and was thinking of finding her a good match, but now I think it's better to forget about it!"

After saying that, the matchmaker turned and left.

Upon seeing this, Luo Jiang's face also showed a hint of disdain.

"What kind of thing is this, daring to put on airs with me? If I didn't hate that jinx, the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he probably wouldn't even be able to enter the gates of my Luo Mansion!"

"Madam, please don't be angry. It's the eldest daughter and the matchmaker who don't know what's good for them. You've only meant well, so it's not worth getting so angry."

Seeing that Madam Luo was so angry, Granny Su quickly advised her to avoid taking her anger out on her later.

"Never mind, the return banquet is just a few days away anyway, we can look at each other then. Master is even more eager than I am for that jinx to leave the Luo family as soon as possible."

Thinking this way, Lady Luo felt much more at ease.

On her way back to Caoshuang Pavilion, Luo Chujiu kept hearing Feiyun indignantly defending her.

"How could you do this, Madam? You've only been back for a few days, and she's already thinking about marrying you off! It's only natural to find a suitable marriage for one's children, but who is that Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel? How could someone like that come to the Luo family to propose marriage? People who don't know the situation would think that the Luo family has fallen on hard times and is trying to use their daughters to win over the sons of court officials!"

Seeing that Feiyun was even angrier than herself, her face even turning red with anger, Luo Chujiu felt both comforted and amused.

"Alright, even I, your young lady, am not this angry, so why are you making a fuss?"

"Miss, I'm just standing up for you. What kind of parents are these?"

Feiyun felt increasingly sorry for her young lady. Her father didn't love her and her mother didn't care about her. They only wanted to marry her off. She didn't seem like a biological daughter at all.

“I know, but it will only make me unhappy. I just retorted, and after that, I will forget about it and not make myself upset. You should do the same. I don’t want the people around me to have a long face every day.”

Luo Chujiu comforted Feiyun instead, and Feiyun smiled somewhat embarrassedly:
"Yes, Miss. I will try my best to control my emotions in the future."

"That's more like it. Who cares if he's the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel or the grandson of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice? The only one who's good enough for me is your former master."

Luo Chujiu said confidently, mentioning Feiyun's previous master. Feiyun was taken aback at first, then asked Luo Chujiu:
"Miss, do you really like the prince?"

"I wouldn't say I like you, but we're destined to be together, and we have to settle this karmic relationship in this lifetime."

Does she like him? At most, she thinks Xiao Beiming is quite handsome and wouldn't be a bad match for her. As for anything else, she hasn't thought about it much yet.

Upon hearing this, Fei Yun nodded knowingly, and then wanted to secretly tell Luo Chujiu the rumors she had heard before.

Back at Caoshuang Pavilion, Feiyun followed Luo Chujiu all the way back to her bedroom, then closed the door and whispered to her:
“Miss, I’ve heard some rumors about the Prince. If you really want to be with him, you should think it through.”

Hearing Fei Yun say that, Luo Chujiu got excited.

"What rumor? Tell me about it."

"Prince Xiao has been frail since childhood, especially after the annihilation of his clan. He coughs up blood every few days. Rumors in the capital say that the prince will not live past thirty, and that he may also be impotent in bed."

Think about it, his body is already so weak, how can he possibly satisfy his future princess in that aspect?

"puff--"

Luo Chujiu spat out the tea she had just put in her mouth, staring at Feiyun in disbelief: "Really? The prince didn't seem to have any problems."

"I don't know if it's true or false, but I've been in the Prince's mansion for so many years and I've never heard of the Prince getting close to any young lady, not even a concubine. Everyone says the Prince is too abstinent."

Anyway, everyone in the mansion and in the capital was saying that the prince was not interested in any woman.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems Xiao Beiming is quite innocent."

Luo Chujiu originally thought that with Xiao Beiming's status and position, he would have some kind of maidservant serving him since he was a teenager. Who would have thought that he was still a virgin?

Luo Chujiu expressed her satisfaction with this.

"Miss, you've missed the point! The point is, if you marry the prince, you have to consider the possibility of living a life of widowhood!"

Fei Yun was worried for Luo Chujiu because she couldn't grasp the key point.

"Haha, don't worry, your young lady specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases. Once I marry him, I guarantee I'll cure all his bad habits."

Hearing Luo Chujiu's confident reply, Feiyun was no longer as worried as before:

Indeed, Miss is so capable that she can help people turn bad luck into good. Curing the prince's illness would certainly be no problem for her. I was just overthinking it.

Luo Chujiu was usually very restless, and after lunch she would have Feiyun lead her around the Luo residence.

The Luo residence isn't particularly large, but it's not small either. Surprisingly, it even has such a spacious back garden. It's quite pleasant to stroll around here occasionally.

"Oh, Miss, what kind of flower is this? I've never seen it before."

Wow, Luo Chujiu looked in the direction Feiyun was pointing, and it really was quite a rare sight.

"These are spider lilies, which are generally considered taboo. I didn't expect the Luo family to have such a large area planted with them."

In ancient times, this flower was considered an unlucky symbol, so no one would plant it, and even if they saw it on the mountain, they would keep their distance.

The Luo family is quite something.

"I don't care, I'm going out today! I've already made plans to drink with my friends, why is my mother stopping me!"

"Young Master, please calm down. If Second Master and Second Madam find out that you sneaked out to drink, you'll be punished again!"

The second son of the main wife, Luo Chenyang, and his maid also appeared in the back garden, seemingly arguing about something.

Luo Chujiu never expected to run into him here.

She thought that Luo Chenyang would greet her by calling her "sister," but to her surprise, he was annoying from the moment he opened his mouth.

"Isn't this the jinx of the Luo family? What are you doing here? Instead of staying in your courtyard and staying indoors, how dare you come out and wander around?"

When Luo Chenyang saw Luo Chujiu, his face was full of disgust and contempt.

"Second Young Master, this is your eldest sister. You can't speak to the eldest young lady like that."

Hongluan was terrified when she heard Luo Chenyang speak to Luo Chujiu in such a way, and quickly tried to stop him:
This little brat has been spoiled by the Second Master and Second Madam, and doesn't understand any manners or etiquette at all!
