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

Chapter 89: Patience and Hibernation, Recognizing the Thief as Mother

Luo Chujiu looked at him with slight heartache, then patted his back to soothe his emotions.

Finally, Luo Chentian cried until his voice was hoarse, and Luo Chujiu took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears.

"Chen Tian, ​​after you've cried tonight, don't cry anymore. Tears are the cheapest thing. If you really want to avenge your mother, you have to become strong and not let her die in vain," Luo Chujiu said earnestly to Luo Chen Tian.

Luo Chentian looked at Luo Chujiu with red eyes and asked her:

"Does my elder sister believe me? Aunt didn't commit suicide willingly?"

"Of course, I not only know that your mother did not die voluntarily, but I also know who forced your mother to her death."

Upon hearing Luo Chujiu's words, Luo Chentian's expression instantly froze. "Who is it?"

"Actually, you've already guessed it, haven't you? You just refused Luo Jiangshi's offer of a nominal position not long ago, and then your mother committed suicide. Who else could it be but her?"

Luo Chentian's face turned deathly pale. So it really was because of this incident that Luo Jiangshi had caused the death of her own concubine! It was all because of him.
Seeing that Luo Chentian's expression was not good, Luo Chujiu hesitated for a moment whether to show him the image transmitted by the paper crane, so she asked him directly:

"Would you like to see what happened that night? I have a way to show you what Lady Luo and Aunt Liu were saying back then."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chentian nodded with great certainty.

After seeing this, Luo Chujiu stopped talking and took out a talisman, which she then stuck on Luo Chentian's forehead, allowing him to see what had happened that day.

Let's rewind to last night—

After Liu Xing finished helping Aunt Liu wash up, he went back to rest. Just as Aunt Liu was about to lie down on the bed, someone knocked on the door.

Aunt Liu stepped forward, full of doubt, and opened the door.

"lady?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Jiangshi went straight into Aunt Liu's room without saying a word, and Aunt Liu welcomed her in.

Luo Jiangshi sat on the stool, raised her chin to look at Luo Jiangshi, while Aunt Liu, dressed in her nightgown, stood in front of her with her head down.

"You know that your son refused to register the property in my name, right?"

As soon as Madam Luo opened her mouth, Aunt Liu knew that she had come to cause trouble.

"Madam, I...I only just found out, but the young master has his own ideas, and I can't persuade him otherwise," Aunt Liu couldn't help but defend herself.

"So you think you're so independent? I've allowed you two to live peacefully together in this mansion for so many years, and this is how you repay me?" Madam Luo slammed her hand on the table, looking extremely angry.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Liu quickly knelt down, begging for Luo Jiang's forgiveness. But Luo Jiang not only refused to forgive her, but instead intensified her scolding:
"Don't think that just because your son has passed the imperial examination and is working for the emperor, you two can hold your heads high in the Luo family. Let me tell you, he comes from a humble background, and you come from a lowly background! As long as you are alive, your son will never rise above others. What good is a son of a concubine, no matter how capable he is? He still cannot inherit the family business and will always be just a son of a concubine!"

Every word Luo Jiangshi uttered reached Aunt Liu's ears, and Aunt Liu's face turned deathly pale as she felt that she had dragged Luo Chentian down.

Lady Luo glanced at Consort Liu and continued:

"Perhaps Chen Tian doesn't resent his background now, and may even be very close to you. However, as he gradually enters the officialdom, his colleagues will all be born of legitimate sons and come from prominent families. Naturally, they will ostracize him. Do you think he will resent his background then, and also resent you, who is just his aunt's biological mother?"

Aunt Liu collapsed to the ground, her face deathly pale, her eyes red-rimmed.

Lady Luo knew that just one last straw was needed to break Aunt Liu's back:
"Furthermore, Chen Tian is sixteen years old now. In two more years, he will be of marriageable age. What good girl would want to marry a son of a concubine like Chen Tian? If it weren't for you, I could rightfully register him under my name and raise him as my legitimate son. Then, he would be the rightful eldest son of the Luo family, and he could find a good marriage in the future. He could also rise more smoothly in the officialdom. You know, when I gave birth to that bastard, I damaged my body, so I can't conceive again. Therefore, if Chen Tian is registered under my name, he will be my only son, and I will naturally treat him well. As for you, think it over carefully tonight. After tomorrow, even if Chen Tian regrets it, I will no longer register him under my name."

Seeing that Aunt Liu looked utterly dejected, Lady Luo Jiang felt she had achieved her goal and left satisfied.

After Lady Luo left, Aunt Liu covered her face and wept bitterly for a long time before resolutely standing up.

He took a long white cloth from the wardrobe, tore it into strips, threw it onto the beam, stepped onto a stool, and without hesitation stuck his neck in, closed his eyes, and kicked the stool over.
Soon, Aunt Liu stopped struggling, her body hanging from the beam.
At this point, Luo Chujiu removed the talisman from Luo Chentian's forehead and looked into his empty eyes.

"Chen Tian, ​​your mother died for your sake, so we can't let her die in vain. Although being registered under Luo Jiang's name is very humiliating for you, it's only temporary. Temporary forbearance can bring peace in the future and allow you to conserve your energy and lie low by Luo Jiang's side. Of course, this is just my opinion. If you don't want to, that's fine too."

"No, elder sister, I'm willing! My aunt died because of this, and I absolutely cannot let her down! I'll accept the enemy as my mother! From now on, everything in this Luo family will be mine!"

After seeing this, Luo Chujiu breathed a sigh of relief. When she came, she was really afraid that Luo Chentian would be stubborn to the end, but fortunately, he was not so stubborn and knew how to be patient.

"Good, it's good that you have this confidence. Just pretend I never came tonight. You should know and understand what to do from now on. I won't say anything more. Please accept my condolences."

Luo Chujiu patted Luo Chentian on the shoulder, then turned and left.

Luo Chentian watched Luo Chujiu's departing figure with a determined look in his eyes.

Aunt, elder sister, just you wait, I will make Luo Jiang pay the price, and I will make the Luo family pay the price!

Luo Chentian knew very well that without the instructions of his grandmother and father, Luo Jiangshi would not have dared to so blatantly force her aunt to her death.

Everyone in the Luo family is implicated!

After leaving the Luo residence, Luo Chujiu thought a lot on her way back to the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

She couldn't understand why some people could treat human life as worthless, manipulate people at will, and yet show no remorse.
Aren't they afraid of cause and effect, the cycle of karma?

They must not be afraid, otherwise they wouldn't have treated human life so lightly.
