Chapter 8 Luo Jiangshi feigns fainting and is punished by Luo Chujiu

Upon hearing Luo Chujiu's words, Luo Jiangshi fainted, whether out of guilt or fear.

"lady!"

"aunt!"

The scene was chaotic, but Luo Chujiu remained calm.

Can't handle this? There's more to come, just wait and see.

Lady Luo was helped back to her bedroom and lay down, and a doctor was summoned.

"Doctor, how is my wife? Why did she suddenly faint?"

The doctor looked deeply troubled. "Lord Luo, please forgive my bluntness, but Madam Luo is not seriously ill. As for why she fainted, I truly have no idea."

Upon hearing the doctor's words, Luo Wanping couldn't help but think of a possibility, and his face became even more grim.

"Brother, is it related to Xiao Jiu that Sister-in-law is suddenly like this? After all, Xiao Jiu was said to be a cursed star when she was born, bringing bad luck to relatives and friends. Sister-in-law has been safe and sound all these years, so why did she faint for no reason as soon as she came back?"

Luo Wanxing seized the opportunity to stir up trouble in Luo Wanping's ear, trying to blame Luo Jiangshi's fainting on Luo Chujiu.

Luo Chuxue heard her father whispering to her uncle and a glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes.

"Father, my elder sister just returned home. It might just be a coincidence. If she hears this, she might misunderstand."

"What do you know? You and Xiao Jiu were born on the same day. When she was born, there was a violent storm and strange phenomena. She was also born with heterochromia, which was frightening! But when you were born, the sky immediately cleared up and there were no clouds. One of you is a lucky star, and the other is a jinx!"

Fortunately, Luo Chujiu isn't here either, so Luo Wanxing doesn't hold back his words.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chuxue looked surprised. "How could that be? How could my elder sister be a jinx? Does her return mean she's incompatible with my aunt? Is that why my aunt fainted for no reason?"

Hearing the conversation between Luo Wanxing and his daughter, Luo Wanping frowned, seemingly convinced that Luo Chujiu was the jinx!

After hearing their words, the doctor deliberately steered them in the direction of unorthodox and deviant practices, thereby concealing the fact that he was incompetent in medicine.

"What the Second Master just said reminded me of a saying: if two people have conflicting birth charts, and one person's aura is strong while the other's is weak, the weaker person may faint without knowing why, in order to protect themselves."

"Big brother, listen, even the doctor said so! Xiao Jiu absolutely cannot stay in the Luo family, otherwise we will all be cursed to death by her!"

"Shut up! Don't mention these words again. If His Majesty finds out, the entire Luo family will lose their heads! Even if she is a jinx, she is still my daughter, Luo Wanping's daughter, someone His Majesty personally instructed the Luo family to take good care of!"

Luo Wanping shouted, stopping them from continuing to spread rumors and mislead the public.

Although he had his doubts, after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to stop Luo Wanxing from continuing.

Luo Wanping glanced at the doctor again and warned:
"This matter must not be mentioned to anyone, otherwise—"

"Rest assured, Lord Luo! I will keep my mouth shut!"

"Someone, pay the doctor's fee, then escort him out of the mansion."

"Yes, sir."

As the doctor walked out the door, he happened to meet the eyes of Luo Chujiu, who had come to see Luo Jiangshi. In that instant, the doctor trembled slightly, immediately lowered his head, and hurried away.

"Has Mother not woken up yet?"

Upon seeing Luo Chujiu approaching, Luo Wanping instinctively kept a safe distance from her to avoid being tainted by her bad luck.

"Xiao Jiu is here. Your mother is still asleep."

Luo Wanping sighed, seemingly helpless.

"Does my daughter have a way to awaken Mother? I wonder if Father would be willing to try?" Upon hearing this, Luo Wanping looked at her suspiciously. "What way?"

"To be honest, Father, I have been away for many years and have learned a lot of mystical skills. I only need a talisman to wake Mother up."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked.

"Mystical arts?! You were taken away by the Imperial Advisor to practice mystical arts!"

Luo Wanxing questioned Luo Chujiu with disbelief, but Luo Chujiu didn't even glance at him, only staring at Luo Wanping.

Luo Wanping looked at Luo Jiangshi, who was still unconscious on the bed, and then glanced at Luo Chujiu. He could only let her give it a try.

Seeing that Luo Wanping had agreed, Luo Chujiu sat down on the edge of the bed, took out a blank talisman from her bosom, and traced a few lines on the talisman with her fingers. Red lines appeared on the originally blank talisman, connecting them into a string of symbols.

"Bring me a cup of tea—"

Luo Chujiu raised her voice, and Luo Chuxue poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

"Eldest sister, tea."

Luo Chujiu took the teacup directly and threw the talisman into the cup. The talisman dissolved in the water as soon as it came into contact with it.

Seeing that Luo Jiangshi was still pretending to be unconscious, Luo Chujiu pinched her nose without any politeness and poured the liquid into her mouth, a method that was extremely simple and brutal.

Almost the instant she drank the talisman water, Luo Jiangshi woke up, opened her eyes, and looked at Luo Chujiu with great fear.

"Father, Mother is awake."

Luo Chujiu smiled, waiting to see her continue singing.

Upon seeing her, Luo Wanping immediately sat down in front of her and asked with concern:

"Madam, you're finally awake. How are you feeling?"

"Master, it's her! She's trying to harm me! Get her out of here, get her out of here!"

Luo Jiang pointed her finger at Luo Chujiu, accusing her of being the culprit who harmed her!

"What do you mean by that, Mother? I'm just hoping you'll wake up soon, so why are you saying such things to me?"

Luo Chujiu's eyes immediately reddened, and she looked at Luo Jiangshi pitifully, which made Luo Jiangshi seem somewhat cold and unapproachable.

“Madam, you have misunderstood Xiao Jiu. It was Xiao Jiu who fed you the talisman water, which is why you were able to wake up.”

Luo Wanping looked at Luo Jiangshi with a hint of warning and said.

With so many people watching, Luo Jiangshi only woke up after drinking Luo Chujiu's talisman water. The doctor was helpless just now, but the first thing she did after waking up was to blame Luo Chujiu. What are the others supposed to think?
"She's just being mysterious; it wasn't any kind of talisman water at all, I..."

She wasn't dizzy at all! That talisman water tasted awful!
She couldn't take it anymore and woke up, coughing up all the talisman water!

How did this jinx end up saving me?!

"Madam, you have just woken up, so your speech is incoherent and you need to rest properly."

Luo Wanping frowned and emphasized his tone, which stopped Luo Jiang from causing any more trouble.

“Xiao Jiu, your mother was just talking nonsense. Don’t take it to heart. I have prepared a bedroom for you. I will have Xue’er take you to see it. If there is anything you need, just tell Steward Chen and he will take care of it.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Chujiu nodded aggrievedly and then left Luo Jiangshi's bedroom.

Feiyun followed behind Luo Chujiu, walking side by side with Luo Chuxue's maid, Hongxiu.
