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

Chapter 31 The Restriction on Luo Chujiu
"What do you mean by that, elder sister? Why would the prince send you clothes?"

Luo Chuxue suppressed her dissatisfaction and continued to probe her words.

"That's because I'm the future princess. The prince admires me, which is why he gave me these clothes. You probably don't know, but these days I've been living in the prince's mansion, and all the servants there treat me like a princess."

Luo Chujiu deliberately spoke boastfully, intending to infuriate Luo Chuxue and Luo Sunshi.

Luo Sunshi did not believe Luo Chujiu's words at all:

"Xiao Jiu, stop talking nonsense. Everyone in the capital knows that Prince Xiao is not interested in anyone, let alone you. Your aunt is not saying anything bad about you, but if someone hears you saying such things, be careful that they report it to the prince, and our whole family will be in big trouble."

Madam Luo felt that Luo Chujiu was just talking nonsense to scare them.

Seeing that they didn't believe her, Luo Chujiu didn't argue further. Anyway, Xiao Beiming was coming to the homecoming banquet soon, and they would soon be proven wrong!
Luo Chujiu found it very exciting just thinking about it!

"But what brings you to Grass Frost Pavilion?"

"Naturally, I'm bringing you the dress you'll wear for the homecoming banquet, Eldest Sister. Please change out of this dress and put on the one that Uncle and Aunt have carefully prepared."

As she spoke, Luo Chuxue took out a set of clothes prepared by Luo Jiangshi.

Luo Chujiu glanced at it and showed a look of disgust:
"It's so tacky, it's far worse than what I'm wearing. I won't change it, I'll just keep wearing this. After all, it's a dress given to me by the Prince, and it's made of much better material than the clothes that Luo Wanping and Luo Jiangshi prepared."

Luo Chujiu now calls her adoptive parents by their names, showing them no respect whatsoever.

Luo Sunshi and Luo Chuxue's faces stiffened. How could they not change into this outfit? They had tampered with it! They were just waiting to see Luo Chujiu make a fool of herself!
“That won’t do. This is something Auntie has been preparing for a long time. Even if Eldest Sister wants to throw a tantrum, she’s had enough by now. It’s such an important day as the homecoming banquet, so we can’t afford any mistakes. Eldest Sister, you should change into it.”

As she spoke, Luo Chuxue reached out to touch Luo Chujiu, but as soon as she touched Luo Chujiu's arm, her hand was stung by pain!
"Ah—my hand!"

Madam Luo was terrified. "Xiaoxue, what happened to your hand?"

Luo Chuxue opened her palm and saw that there were countless needle marks with blood seeping out. Both of them were terrified!

"What have you done to my Xiaoxue! She's your sister! How could you be so cruel!"

Luo Sun accused Luo Chujiu.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you, I have a restriction placed on me by my grandmaster. Anyone with ill intentions who touches my body will be injured. But how did it hurt my sister? Could it be that my sister is plotting something against me, causing this restriction to backfire?"

Luo Chujiu covered her mouth, pretending to be very surprised, and then quietly moved away from Luo Sunshi and Luo Chuxue.

Hearing Luo Chujiu's words, the mother and daughter felt a little guilty, but no one had seen them tamper with the clothes, so how could this little bitch know?
"Don't talk nonsense! How could Xiaoxue harm you? She just wanted you to wear the dress your sister-in-law prepared for you! If you don't want to wear it, then don't wear it. Why hurt someone?"

Madam Luo glared angrily at Luo Chujiu, attracting the servants of Caoshuang Pavilion to come and watch the commotion, as if Luo Chujiu had hurt Luo Chuxue and disregarded their sisterly bond.

Luo Chujiu was too lazy to argue with them. "I'm not changing my clothes. You can all get out of here now. When the time comes, just have someone come and invite me. I need some peace and quiet right now."

Luo Chujiu plopped down on the stool, glancing at the mother and daughter with displeasure. Hypocritical. Like mother, like daughter. No wonder Luo Chuxue smelled so good; it was all thanks to Luo Sunshi's excellent upbringing.

Madam Luo Sun wanted to say something more, but Luo Chuxue stopped her, and the two left. After returning home, Madam Luo Sun summoned a doctor to apply medicine and bandage Luo Chuxue's hand injury.

"Xiaoxue, why didn't you let your mother finish speaking?"

Madam Luo gave Luo Chuxue a reproachful look and asked.

“Mother, haven’t you realized that Luo Chujiu has already made preparations? If we stay any longer, we won’t gain anything. It’s better to come back and bandage the wound on my hand. That way, we can gain some sympathy from Aunt’s side.”

Luo Chuxue said calmly that even if she didn't get the better of Luo Chujiu, she wouldn't let herself get hurt for nothing. She would definitely use this injury to play the victim in front of Luo Jiangshi!
Luo Sunshi suddenly understood, then smiled slightly, "Xiao Xue is so clever, let's do as you say."

About an hour later, a maid came to invite Luo Chujiu to the front hall for the homecoming banquet.

Feiyun carefully followed behind Luo Chujiu. As they passed through the courtyard, a maid suddenly appeared carrying a basin of water, intending to splash it at Luo Chujiu. Luo Chujiu simply glanced at the maid, who then slipped and spilled the entire basin of water on herself.

Upon seeing this, Fei Yun quickly stepped in front of Luo Chu Jiu:

"Miss, let me go first."

Who knows what tricks the Luo family will have up their sleeves to deal with the young lady!

Luo Chujiu accepted Feiyun's gesture, but—

"No need. Your young lady is born lucky. Those who try to harm me usually suffer the consequences, so you don't need to worry."

Hearing Luo Chujiu say this, Feiyun continued to follow behind her.

Fortunately, nothing like the incident with the maid happened again along the way, so Feiyun could finally relax.

At this moment, Old Madam Luo, Luo Wanping, Luo Jiangshi, Luo Wanxing, and Luo Sunshi were all standing on the stage. As she was led over by her maid, everyone's eyes fell on Luo Chujiu.

"This Miss Luo isn't as vulgar as I imagined. She looks quite pretty and has a dignified demeanor."

"Yes, who was it that said Miss Luo came from the countryside, was uncouth, and ugly?"

"I didn't want to come to this homecoming banquet at first, but my mother forced me to. Now that I think about it, I'm glad I was forced to come. If Miss Luo takes a liking to me, I won't be at a loss!"

When the young noblemen below saw Luo Chujiu appear, they began to discuss among themselves. Luo Chujiu had very keen hearing and heard everything they said.

It seems someone was spreading rumors about me before the handover banquet. Well, another debt to settle.

"I've met you all."

When Luo Chujiu saw the elders of the Luo family, she gave a forced nod, which froze Luo Wanping's smile on his face, forcing him to step forward.

"Xiao Jiu, today is your homecoming banquet and family recognition banquet. Come and pour tea for your grandmother, father, mother, uncle and aunt. From now on, you are the eldest daughter of the Luo family. No one can bully you!"
