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

Chapter 32: The Return Banquet Turns into a Severing of Ties

Upon hearing Luo Wanping's words, everyone instantly imagined how Luo Chujiu had been bullied before returning to the Luo family mansion. Now, with the protection of her family, she had finally overcome her hardships!

Luo Chujiu curled her lips into a smile, then walked onto the stage and looked at Luo Wanping:

"But before I returned to the Luo family mansion, no one dared to bully me. I had my grandmaster and four senior brothers protecting me, and I was always the one who acted arrogantly and domineeringly. But after returning to the Luo family mansion, I suffered a lot of grievances. If my grandmaster and senior brothers knew, they would probably feel so sorry for me. Sigh..."

Luo Chujiu sighed deeply, not daring to imagine how exciting it would be for her four senior brothers to turn the Luo family into chaos after they found out she had been bullied!

"What? What does Miss Luo mean by this? Did you suffer any injustice upon returning to the Luo residence? How could that be?"

"Shh, stop talking. I've heard that Miss Luo's birth mother, Madam Luo Jiang, has never liked Miss Luo. Otherwise, why do you think she hasn't returned to the capital all these years and has been left unattended and neglected?"

"I see. Miss Luo is a pitiful person too. She finally returned to the capital to reunite with her family, but she wasn't valued by anyone in the household."

Luo Wanping listened to the gossip below, his face turning very ugly.

“Xiao Jiu, if you say that, the guests will think that the Luo family has mistreated you. Since you returned to the manor, we have been providing you with good food and drink, and we have also assigned a lot of servants to serve you. Your mother has also put a lot of effort into preparing for your return banquet. You have misunderstood us.”

Luo Wanping sighed, as if blaming his daughter for being so immature.

"Judging from Lord Luo's words, it seems he has no prejudice against his daughter. Why would Miss Luo say such a thing?"

"Yes, what exactly happened?"

Just as everyone was discussing, Luo Chuxue stood up again, "Eldest sister, at such an important moment, please don't quarrel with Uncle and Aunt. I know that you are unhappy that Aunt is so considerate of me and that Uncle is resentful that he didn't discipline Chenyang for being naughty, so you are holding a grudge. But Uncle and Aunt have always been considerate of you."

"Is this Miss Luo the Second? She is truly a beauty of unparalleled grace. According to this Miss Luo, it is because the Eldest Miss is jealous of her parents' favoritism towards the Second Miss that she harbors resentment?"

"However, since this second young lady is so polite and filial, if it were me, I would also favor her."

Hearing their conversation, Luo Chujiu knew what Luo Chuxue's purpose was. Instead of directly responding, she brought up an incident from some time ago:

"Everyone, I'm not afraid of being laughed at, but I was taken away the day I was born. When I was little, I always thought that my parents were dead and that my grandmaster and senior brothers raised me. When I was ten years old, my grandmaster told me that my parents had always missed me and that I should return to the Luo family to recognize my family after I finished my studies. Who knew that on my first day back, I was kicked out of the Luo family by the gatekeeper, who said that there was no eldest young lady in the Luo family, only one young lady named Luo Chuxue. I was heartbroken. Later, my father took me back, and then..."

"Why are you saying all this! Father has already dealt with that blind servant, why are you still holding a grudge? You're really petty!"

Luo Wanping looked at Luo Chujiu with great displeasure. He hadn't expected that she would come to the homecoming banquet only to cause trouble! "Am I really being petty, or do you and Madam Luo Jiang simply not want your daughter to return to the manor? What homecoming banquet? Isn't it just to find me a husband and marry me off as soon as possible? Stop pretending, aren't you tired?"

Luo Chujiu was fed up with Luo Wanping's attitude and didn't want to continue acting with him!
At this moment, Lady Luo Jiang could not hold back any longer and came over to reprimand Luo Chujiu:
"How could you speak to your father like that? What have we done to wrong you? You've been bringing misfortune to me since you came back, causing chaos in the whole family. Now you act like you've been wronged, slandering the Luo family in front of so many people. What are you really up to!"

With red eyes, Luo Jiang accused, while the guests below watched the farce with a sense of excitement. How did a perfectly good family reunion banquet turn into a family severance banquet?
"Madam Luo Jiang, on the very first day I returned to the manor, you feigned illness and insisted that I was bringing you bad luck. If I really was bringing you bad luck, how come you are still alive and well now?"

"You! You actually cursed me!"

Madam Luo pointed at Luo Chujiu's nose, looking at her incredulously.

"I hate it when people point fingers at me. I'll forgive you this time, out of respect for the fact that you gave birth to me. Besides, I never planned to attend this homecoming banquet. You forced me to attend. You've been kicking me out of the Luo residence for days. Who are you putting on this show for now?"

"What! Miss Luo has been kicked out of the Luo family mansion? What on earth happened?!"

"No matter what, Miss Luo is a young woman with no one to rely on in the capital. How can we drive her away?"

"Don't listen to your elder sister's nonsense. She insisted on leaving the Luo family mansion herself. No one drove her away; she simply didn't want to stay."

With red eyes, Luo Chuxue defended the Luo family, winning the sympathy of many. Luo Chujiu even clapped and cheered.
"You acted very well. Yes, it's true that I was the one who suggested moving out of the Luo family mansion. But why don't you tell me what happened on the day I moved out? Since everyone is here, I'll recount what happened that day. Don't try to deny it then."

Luo Chujiu sneered, about to say something more, but was interrupted by Old Madam Luo:
"You unfilial son! What do you want to do?! It's not enough that you act like a tyrant at home, do you have to slander your parents and elders in front of guests? You are simply incorrigible! Guards, take her back to her room and keep a close watch on her! Discipline her strictly from now on!"

With a single command, Old Madam Luo attempted to stop this farce. Today's homecoming banquet could not be held, but she could not allow the discord within the Luo family to be exposed to the public! She absolutely would not allow it!

Upon hearing Madam Luo's order, the maids and servants immediately stepped forward, trying to capture Luo Chujiu, but how could Luo Chujiu possibly comply with their wishes?
Luo Chujiu stood there motionless, and anyone who got close to her was bounced several feet away by a halo of light!

"What's going on! Why are all the people who get close to Miss Luo being thrown back? What kind of evil magic is this?!"

"too frightening!"

The guests all automatically moved away from the front of the stage, afraid of being caught in the crossfire. Today's show was just too wonderful!

Those who went up were repelled, and the remaining people hesitated and dared not step forward. Luo Chujiu was fearless and threw down several talismans in the air. These talismans formed a huge circle of light in the air, which fully presented the scene of Luo Chujiu and Luo Chenyang's confrontation to the guests!
The guests were all stunned!

The scene captured by the aperture clearly revealed Luo Chenyang's blaming, the favoritism and distrust of Luo Wanping and Luo Jiang, and Luo Chuxue's embellishment!
