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

Chapter 83 Luo Jiangshi cuckolds Luo Wanping

Upon hearing Luo Chentian's words, Luo Chujiu roughly understood what Luo Jiangshi was planning.

"Madam Luo Jiang has certainly made a good plan; she can hear it from a great distance," Luo Chujiu chuckled.

Luo Chentian lowered his head and continued:
"Actually, I know very well that Mother may not really want to register me under her name. It's just that I've become successful now, and they have no legitimate sons or daughters to help them secure their position. So they can only register their illegitimate son under the name of the main wife, so that he can be treated as a legitimate son."

Luo Chujiu glanced at Luo Chentian, surprised that he saw things so clearly.

"Since you know this, then just say what you think. You are one of only three people in the Luo family with official titles, so what are you afraid of? As long as you are unwilling, no one can force you. If you remain silent, people who don't know the situation will think that you are willing."

Luo Chujiu stopped there. If Luo Chentian were truly intelligent, he would know what to do next.

Luo Chentian looked at Luo Chujiu as if he suddenly understood, and then thanked her:
"Thank you for your guidance, elder sister. I know what to do now."

"Good to know. I'm going now. I'll come visit you again when I have time."

After saying that, Luo Chujiu left Luo Chentian's study.

After leaving Luo Chentian's courtyard, Luo Chujiu went straight to Luo Jiangshi's courtyard, but in order not to attract attention, she used an invisibility talisman so that others could not see her.

She entered the inner courtyard without any difficulty.

At this moment, Luo Chuxue was chatting with Luo Jiangshi, and Luo Chujiu swaggered in between them, eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Xiaoxue, of all the young men I introduced to you before, did you find any you liked?" Madam Luo Jiang asked Luo Chuxue with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Aunt, but Xue'er still wants to spend more time with her parents and hasn't thought about marriage yet, so..."

"If that's the case, then so be it. I can understand that your parents want to keep you by their side for a few more years. If I had a daughter like you, I wouldn't want you to get married either."

Luo Jiangshi's love for Luo Chuxue was genuine, but so was her scheming.

Without affecting the interests of the main branch, Madam Luo Jiang did indeed pour a lot of affection and favor into Luo Chuxue. However, once her fundamental interests were involved, Madam Luo Jiang would not hesitate to send Luo Chuxue away.

Luo Chuxue was relieved to hear Luo Jiangshi say that; at least she wasn't being forced to continue looking for other men.

Seeing how well the two got along, Luo Chujiu almost burst out laughing:

What brand of plastic bags? They all hold more than the last.

After paying her respects to Madam Luo Jiang, Luo Chuxue returned to her own courtyard.

Meanwhile, Lady Luo Jiang stared intently in the direction where Luo Chuxue had left.

Luo Chujiu keenly sensed that something was wrong, and then she saw a man walk out from behind the large screen.

"So, can you tell what her fate is?"

Lady Luo looked at the man and asked him a question.

The man was dressed in a Taoist robe and wore a half-mask; he must be the cousin Luo Chentian mentioned who had sought refuge with the Luo Jiang clan!
Luo Chujiu hadn't expected everything to go so smoothly; she'd already seen the two people who wanted to harm her today!
"Cousin, don't worry. You can't tell what the second young lady's fate is just by looking at her face. But when the second young lady and the eldest young lady were born together, I was the one who predicted their fates. I think that even when they grow up, it won't change much."

Wu Xing smiled as he looked at Luo Jiang Shi.

Luo Jiangshi seemed to trust Wu Xing completely; whatever he said, she believed. However, Luo Chujiu noticed some problems in their conversation.

So, the name "jinx" she was given back then was given to her by this brat?

Very well, after letting her bear such a bad reputation for so long, Luo Chujiu felt it was necessary to settle old scores with him.

Afterwards, Luo Jiangshi and Wu Xing left the main hall and went directly to Luo Jiangshi's boudoir.

Luo Chujiu watched in surprise as the two of them entered the bedroom together, while Granny Jiang stood guard outside, preventing anyone from getting close.

However, Granny Jiang could not see Luo Chujiu. Luo Chujiu walked to the window without any hindrance, broke a small hole, and looked inside.

The scene inside shocked Luo Chujiu once again:
That brat actually touched Luo Jiangshi's hand, and they even hugged each other!
Then Luo Jiangshi tore off Wu Xing's mask, revealing the other half of his face covered in scars. However, Luo Jiangshi did not mind at all and even kissed him.

Then, Luo Chujiu couldn't bear to watch any longer and left.

How interesting! Lady Luo Jiang actually cheated on Luo Wanping!
Moreover, Granny Jiang, who served Lady Luo, was also aware of the situation. How interesting, how very interesting.

Luo Chujiu became more interested and decided to temporarily set aside dealing with this brat and Luo Jiangshi, watch the excitement for a while longer, and also investigate the origins of Luo Jiangshi and this man.

Luo Chujiu didn't take Feiyun with her when she went out because it wasn't convenient. When she returned, Feiyun complained a couple of times in a low voice, and Luo Chujiu quickly comforted her.

"Huh? Why is the hem of Miss's skirt dirty? Where did Miss go again?"

Fei Yun noticed something dirty on Luo Chu Jiu's skirt. Luo Chu Jiu looked down at her skirt and, sure enough, there was a lot of black ash on the hem.

Luo Chujiu reached out and touched the dirt on the hem of her skirt. When did the charcoal get on her? She didn't seem to have been to any place with a charcoal brazier.

Besides, in this kind of weather, there's no need for a charcoal brazier, so how could that be?
Suddenly, Luo Chujiu seemed to remember something.

Wasn't Lady Luo Jiang practicing witchcraft by the charcoal brazier last night?
The charcoal ash must have been picked up near Luo Jiang's house.

"It was just an accidental stain, it's nothing to worry about."

"That won't do, Miss. You must change your clothes quickly. What if the Prince comes looking for you this afternoon and sees you like this?"

Fei Yun looked disapproving and urged Luo Chujiu to change her clothes. Luo Chujiu had no choice but to obediently go and change.

Why is Fei Yun nagging like an old lady?
After changing her clothes, Feiyun stopped nagging and went to prepare tea and snacks for Luo Chujiu.

After Fei Yun left, Luo Chu Jiu immediately took out a talisman, folded it into the shape of a paper crane, and dripped a drop of her own blood essence onto it. In an instant, the paper crane transformed into a real little crane.

Luo Chujiu reached out and touched it, saying to it;
"Go and keep an eye on Lady Luo Jiang, and record her every move."

The little crane nodded, then flew away from Luo Chujiu's palm.

Luo Chujiu wouldn't use the illusion talisman unless absolutely necessary, as it would greatly deplete her physical strength. However, for now, she had to keep an eye on Luo Jiangshi and that brat's every move, for who knew what kind of evil scheme they might have up their sleeve to harm her.

One should not have the intention to harm others, but one should not be without the intention to guard against others. Luo Chujiu did this in order to prevent problems before they arise.
