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

Chapter 5: Reunited with her adoptive father

Luo Chujiu has always maintained the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. In the past, when she was on Xuanfeng Mountain, she would get up before dawn to practice her skills, and she still does the same now that she has come down the mountain.

As dawn broke, Luo Chujiu was already meditating and breathing in the courtyard, much to the surprise of Feiyun, who had come early to serve her.

"Why are you up so early, young lady?"

"Practice morning exercises."

Seeing that Luo Chujiu hadn't opened her eyes, Feiyun didn't disturb her, quietly standing by her side, waiting for her instructions.

Half an hour later, Luo Chujiu finished her meditation and then jumped up.

"Sister Feiyun, what are we having for breakfast? I'm hungry!"

After each training session, Luo Chujiu would have a big meal to reward herself for her hard work.

"Miss, you can order whatever you want to eat from the kitchen. Just let me know."

"I'd like to eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables. Could you please get me some, Sister Feiyun? I'll have three steamed buns!"

"Alright, please wait a moment, young lady. I'll be right back."

Feiyun thought Luo Chujiu was going to eat some delicacies, but this is all?
Fifteen minutes later, Fei Yun walked into the house carrying white porridge, side dishes, and three steamed buns that Luo Chujiu had specifically requested.

"Young lady, it's time for breakfast."

"Thank you, Sister Feiyun. Would you like to sit down and have something to eat with me?"

"You flatter me, young lady. I had breakfast when I got up. You can eat by yourself."

Feiyun felt that Luo Chujiu was different from all the masters she had ever met before. She was very approachable and knew how to take care of her servants, which made people like her unconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chujiu stopped trying to persuade her and started eating breakfast on her own.

After finishing breakfast, she couldn't help but remind Feiyun:

"Be extra careful today, especially when encountering unfamiliar things; keep your distance."

Fei Yun was taken aback, then slowly nodded.

Fei Yun left with the leftover dishes from Luo Chu Jiu's meal. As she passed the kitchen in the backyard, she suddenly saw a black dog.

He then remembered what Luo Chujiu had just reminded him of, and subconsciously dodged the black dog.

Unexpectedly, when the black dog saw Feiyun, it pounced on her without any regard for her safety!
Feiyun was so frightened that she dropped the wooden tray in her hand, but unfortunately she tripped over a small stone and fell to the ground, dropping her purse as well.

Feiyun watched helplessly as the black dog charged towards her, and closed her eyes in fear.

If she were bitten by this ferocious black dog, could she survive?
Just when Fei Yun thought she was doomed to die, she heard no sound for a long time, so she cautiously opened her eyes.

Then she saw the black dog paw at her purse that had fallen to the ground, then retract its paw as if stung, and run away.

The girl had given her a lucky charm in her purse!
Feiyun quickly picked up the purse and took out the talisman. But as soon as she took it out, the talisman vanished into ashes in her hand!

After eating breakfast, Luo Chujiu wanted to go find Xiao Beiming to play, but was told that he had already gone to the morning court session. So she could only wander around the palace to pass the time.

Yesterday, the Prince and Steward Nan specifically instructed that the girl the Prince brought back was an honored guest, and no one should stop her from going wherever she wanted. Therefore, Luo Chujiu was able to move freely in the Prince's mansion.

After thoroughly exploring the Prince's mansion, Luo Chujiu returned to her own courtyard as if nothing had happened.

Fei Yun stood at the door with a pale face. When she saw Luo Chujiu return, she immediately stepped forward and knelt down to kowtow to her.

"Feiyun thanks you for saving my life, young lady! If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, I will do my utmost for you, even if it means my death."

Hearing Fei Yun's words, Luo Chu Jiu knew that she must have already "escaped danger". "You are too kind to say you saved my life. I only helped you avoid a disaster. Get up quickly."

Luo Chujiu helped Feiyun up, and just as she was about to say something, she suddenly froze.

Strange, there's actually a causal link between her and Feiyun!
After a moment's thought, Luo Chujiu said to Feiyun:

Would you like to stay by my side?

Feiyun was taken aback at first, then looked into her eyes and answered:

"This servant is willing, but this servant is a servant of the Prince's mansion, and I need the Prince's or Steward Nan's permission first."

"That's easy. I'll tell them to bring you to my side later, and you'll be mine from now on."

It was because she gave Feiyun a talisman that their karma became intertwined; it was all fate.

Feiyun was overjoyed and served Luo Chujiu even more diligently.

Luo Wanping sat in the carriage of the Xiao Prince's Mansion, showing great respect for Xiao Beiming.

Xiao Beiming had already informed Luo Wanping about Luo Chujiu's stay at the Prince's Mansion. He was furious when he heard that Luo Chujiu had been kicked out of the Luo family mansion by the servants and then moved into the Xiao Prince's Mansion.

To make a fool of himself in front of Prince Xiao!

The two remained silent as they arrived at the gate of Prince Xiao's residence.

Upon entering the Prince's residence, Xiao Beiming led Luo Wanping to the main hall and then asked Nan Ke to invite Luo Chujiu over.

"My daughter has been quite a nuisance at the Prince's residence. I will visit her another day to express my gratitude after I bring her back."

"Lord Luo, you are too kind. It was just a small favor. When you and your daughter meet later, it will be inconvenient for me to be present. You two can have a good chat."

Xiao Beiming was still very polite to Luo Wanping at this time, after all, he had already believed that Luo Chujiu and Luo Wanping were "destined to be together", and Luo Wanping might become his father-in-law in the future.

When Nan Ke came to invite her, Luo Chujiu knew she was going to see her adoptive father, so she followed Nan Ke to the main hall.

The moment Luo Chujiu saw Luo Wanping, she saw his face thoroughly:
Mediocre and incompetent, selfish and self-serving, with shallow family ties, destined to be childless!

But this very person happens to be his own biological father!
"You...you're Xiao Jiu?"

When Luo Wanping saw Luo Chujiu, he was almost afraid to recognize her. She looked nothing like him when she was a child, and she didn't even look like him or Luo Jiangshi.

"Here, this is the jade token I always carry with me. Take a look and see if it belongs to the Luo family."

Luo Chujiu tossed the jade pendant from her waist at Luo Wanping, leaving him to judge for himself whether it was true or false; further discussion was pointless.

Luo Wanping took the jade tablet, which contained Luo Chujiu's birth date and time, as well as her birth order in the family.

It's definitely his daughter!
only--

"But what's wrong with your eyes, Xiao Jiu?"

The reason why Luo Chujiu was considered an ominous sign from birth was largely because her pupils were different colors from birth—one black and the other a deep blue!

But now her pupils are clearly black!

"My master said that as I grow older, the color of my pupils will fade back to its natural color."

“I see. Now that your identity has been confirmed, Xiao Jiu, please return to the manor with your father. Your mother has missed you all these years. As for the servants who refused to let you in, your father will definitely stand up for you.”

Luo Wanping returned the jade pendant to Luo Chujiu with a smile, and then said to her.
