After the whole family went crazy and criticized the movie "Read My Mind", the heroine

A leisurely afternoon.

Ye Guyan held Chen Shuyin in her arms and sat on the stone bench in the yard, holding a cup of tea in her hands. The sunlight shone through the treetops onto her soft face, reflecting a peaceful and calm smile.

Chen Shuyin tilted her head slightly and teased Chen Qiyu beside her in her heart: [Second brother, this second sister-in-law you found is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated. ]

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiyu was suddenly at a loss. He scratched his head and a shy blush appeared on his face.

He stammered, "Silly sister, you... don't talk nonsense. I... I just happened to rescue Miss Xu Min in the Ghost Vine Forest. She... She is not the second sister-in-law."

Xu Min was standing aside at the moment. When she heard Chen Qiyu's explanation, a silly expression appeared on her face.

She blinked her big eyes, looked at Chen Qiyu, and asked curiously, "Young man, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

Chen Qiyu was even more incoherent when she asked him this. He hurriedly explained: "Ms. Xu Min, don't misunderstand me, I... I just want to say that we haven't... haven't reached that stage yet." Xu Min listened and nodded, not quite understanding.

Ye Guyan suddenly remembered something and asked seriously, "By the way, Qi Yu, when you rescued Miss Xu Min in the Ghost Vine Forest that day, was it particularly dangerous? I heard that there are many ferocious monsters in the Ghost Vine Forest."

When Chen Qiyu mentioned the Ghost Vine Forest, a solemn look appeared on his face. He recalled the thrilling experience in the Ghost Vine Forest that day, and a sense of fear surged in his heart.

He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Yes, it was indeed dangerous that day. However, when I saw Xu Min being entangled by the ghost vine, I didn't think about anything and rushed forward directly."

Xu Min felt a warm current in her heart when she heard this. She looked at Chen Qiyu with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

She whispered, "Thank you, young man. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would..."

When she said this, her voice was choked up a little.

Seeing this, Ye Guyan stepped forward and comforted her, "Miss Xu Min, don't cry. Aren't we all safe now? Also, don't call him Young Master from now on. Just call him by his name."

After hearing what Ye Guyan said, Xu Min felt a little relieved.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and showed a strong smile. She looked at Chen Qiyu and said seriously: "Qiyu, can I...can I call you that?"

When Chen Qiyu heard this, he felt excited.

He looked at Xu Min's determined eyes, and a strong desire to protect her surged in his heart. He took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and said, "Miss Xu Min, of course."

Just like that, under Chen Shuyin's teasing and Ye Guyan's urging, a beautiful love quietly sprouted.

On the day Su Yuchen returned to the palace, the entire palace was filled with a solemn and tense atmosphere.

As the head of the palace, Chen Tanyan had already led a group of servants and lined up neatly at the gate of the palace, ready to welcome the girl of destiny who had not returned for a long time.

When Su Yuchen's figure appeared in everyone's sight, she was wearing a very simple cloth dress, but her face was stern and her eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty.

She walked slowly, and every step seemed to be stepping on everyone's heart, making people dare not slack off in the slightest.

Upon seeing this, Chen Tanyan immediately led everyone to kneel down and salute, shouting in unison: "Welcome my daughter back home!"

However, amidst all the uniform voices, there was one person who stood out from the crowd - the old concubine who was a grandmother.

The old concubine was in high spirits. She stood straight at the moment, with no intention of kneeling. Su Yuchen's eyes fell on her, and his brows slightly frowned.

"Why doesn't she kneel?" Although Su Yuchen's voice was not loud, it carried an unquestionable majesty.

Seeing this, Chen Tanyan quickly explained: "Yuchen, she is your grandmother. She is old and has difficulty walking. She can't kneel down."

When Su Yuchen heard this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

She didn't say anything, but suddenly a stone popped out from her sleeve and hit the old concubine's knee accurately.

The old concubine felt pain, her body swayed, and she almost fell to the ground.

She looked at Su Yuchen in surprise, her eyes filled with anger and confusion.

"You're kneeling now?" Su Yuchen sneered and said, "In the palace, no matter how old or how high your status is, you have to abide by the rules. Grandma is no exception."

The old concubine was so angry at Su Yuchen's words that she trembled all over, but she also understood the grand plan that Chen Tanyan was planning at the moment.

So she had to suppress her anger and slowly knelt down.

Chen Tanyan and the other servants were stunned when they saw this. They had never seen anyone treat the old concubine like this, and they couldn't help but feel a little in awe of this young lady who hadn't returned for a long time.

Su Yuchen looked at the old concubine kneeling in front of her, without any pity or guilt in her heart. She knew very well that in the power struggle in the palace, any trace of weakness and kindness could become a fatal weakness.

Therefore, she must always maintain her dignity and strength to ensure that her position is not shaken.

However, he also understands that his approach may attract some criticism.

But he didn't care about these, because he believed that as long as he was strong enough, he could suppress all unstable factors.

Just like that, Su Yuchen announced his return with a sudden kneeling incident.

And everyone in the palace got to know this young lady who was wandering outside again through this incident.

Inside the palace ancestral hall, the air was filled with smoke and the light and shadows were mottled.

The tablets are arranged neatly, each representing an ancestor in the family.

Su Yuchen stood in the center, her eyes firm and affectionate, holding her mother's tablet in her hands, as if she was holding the whole world.

Chen Tanyan hadn't spoken yet. His eyes wandered between Su Yuchen and the tablet, as if he was looking for the right words.

However, Liu Mei couldn't suppress her dissatisfaction. She walked forward quickly, her voice sharp and piercing.

"Su Yuchen, do you know what you have done?" Liu Mei pointed at the tablet and glared at him, "That position belongs to the future prince! How dare you put your mother's tablet there without permission?"

Su Yuchen sneered, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

She turned around and faced Liu Mei, her voice calm and firm: "My mother gave birth to me, raised me, and taught me how to be a human being. In my heart, she is the most honorable existence. The position in this ancestral hall is just a worldly honor. How can it be compared with my mother?"

Liu Mei was so angry at Su Yuchen's words that her face turned blue. She pointed her finger at Su Yuchen's nose and cursed, "You unfilial daughter! How dare you talk back to your elders like this! Your mother is just a concubine without a name, how can she be compared with the prince!"
