Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Daughter: Not to be Trifled With

After seeing Liu Yaohui and his group off, Su Lie instructed the steward to invite Su Yun Chu over.

Su Lie told Su Yun Chu that all the young masters of the Duke's mansion wanted to pursue her.

Su Yun was shocked when she heard this, and for a moment thought she had misheard.

Su Yun Chu quickly regained her composure and asked softly, "Father, what is your opinion on this matter?"

After hearing this, Su Lie said softly, "Chu'er, you've reached the age for marriage. It's time to think about your life's important matters. The Duke's family has a very good tradition, and the young masters of the Duke's family are all excellent candidates. You can consider them!"

After listening, Su Yun Chu said in a low voice, "Father, but I don't know these young masters very well, so I can't make a judgment!"

Su Lie gave Su Yun Chu a brief introduction to the Duke's family.

Upon hearing this, Su Yun suddenly recalled that she had met the Duke's sons at Princess Mingyue Qi Shu's poetry gathering, and the one who impressed her the most was the Duke's eldest son, Liu Wentao.

How handsome he is! Such a fine man, but I wonder if he has good character?

Seeing Su Yun Chu's expression, Su Lie smiled and said, "Perhaps Chu'er could try dating her."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun Chu blushed and said shyly, "Father, why...why are you like this? Sigh, let me think about it!"

After Su Yun Chu finished speaking, she ran away, feeling both embarrassed and shy.

Su Lie looked at his precious daughter and smiled, thinking to himself, "Chu'er, has she fallen for one of the Duke's sons?"

This scene was witnessed by Su Yunyan as she entered.

Su Yunyan asked in a low voice, "Father, what's making you so happy?"

Su Lie told Su Yunyan about this.

Upon hearing this, Su Yunyan's expression immediately turned ugly. She thought to herself, "Why is it that Su Yunchu can win everyone's favor? I'm not reconciled, I'm really not reconciled!"

After a short while, Su Yunyan regained her composure and said with a smile, "Father, it's all because my sister is so charming that so many people like her. Unlike me, nobody likes me."

After hearing this, Su Lie paused for a moment and said, "No way, our Yan'er has people who like her too. For example, your father, me, and your sister Yun Chu... and isn't there that kid Lu Chenyi too?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunyan thought to herself, "How can you compare them? Although Lu Chenyi is good, Liu Wentao, the eldest son of the Duke's family, is clearly better."

A moment later, Su Yunyan said with a light smile, "Yes! Yan'er hopes that you, sister, can also find your own happiness soon!"

Although Su Yunyan said that, she didn't really mean it. She thought to herself, "I have to ruin Su Yun Chu's good time. Why should she be able to find someone so good? No, absolutely not!"

After saying goodbye to her father, Su Yunyan returned to her room. She sat in front of her dressing table, growing angrier the more she thought about it.

Su Yunyan clenched her fists tightly and said through gritted teeth, "We absolutely cannot let Su Yunchu have her way."

Suddenly, she came up with a plan—to find an opportunity to get close to Liu Wentao and sabotage his relationship with Su Yunchu.

In the days that followed, Su Yunyan began to deliberately keep an eye on Liu Wentao's whereabouts and look for opportunities to bump into him.

Once, when she went out shopping, she happened to run into Liu Wentao, who was shopping with his younger sister Liu Wenting.

Su Yunyan pretended to fall, and Liu Wentao caught her.

Su Yunyan looked up at Liu Wentao, only to see that Liu Wentao shyly turned his head away.

Su Yunyan said softly, "Thank you, Young Master Liu. I have no way to repay your kindness, except..."

Before Su Yunyan could finish speaking, Liu Wentao lowered his head and interrupted in a low voice, "May I ask whose daughter you are? You absolutely mustn't do that! I already have a girl I like, and I'm afraid I'd be letting you down."

After saying that, Liu Wentao blushed even more and lowered his head.

Su Yunyan smiled and said, "Young Master Liu, I am a daughter of the Su family. What are you thinking? I just want to invite Young Master Liu and Miss Liu to have a meal together."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wentao became even more embarrassed and said with a smile, "Is that so? There's no need for a meal; it's just a small favor. You're a daughter of the Su family? You look different from the one I saw at Princess Mingyue's poetry gathering last time."

After hearing this, Su Yunyan said, "Young Master Liu, I am Su Yunyan, the second young lady of the Su family. The one you mentioned is my older sister, Su Yunchu. May I ask, do you like my sister?"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao replied, "Yes! I really like her very much!"

After hearing this, Su Yunyan said in a low voice, "Young Master Liu, but the person my sister likes is not you, but Lu Chenyi, the heir of the Lu Marquis's mansion. But because Brother Chenyi is going to marry Yan'er, my sister couldn't stand it, so... My sister is not worthy of your affection at all, she doesn't deserve it!"

After hearing Su Yunyan's words, Liu Wentao said angrily, "Second Miss Su, the eldest Miss Su is your sister. You can't talk bad about her behind her back. This is not how a lady from a respectable family should behave."

After Liu Wentao finished speaking, he left with his younger sister Liu Wenting, looking somewhat hurt.

As Su Yunyan watched Liu Wentao leave, a slow smile crept onto her lips. She thought to herself, "Let's see how you, Su Yunchu, try to fight me."

Su Yunyan returned home in high spirits, and Liu came to her room to see her.

Madam Liu asked, "Yan'er, has your father really betrothed you to Prince Lu? Your sister, Su Yun Chu, heard that she's going to talk to Liu Wen Tao, the eldest son of the Duke's family. Did you know that?"

Su Yunyan smiled and replied, "Mother, it's true! Humph, it's impossible now! Su Yunchu can never surpass me, and I will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen."

Just as Su Yunyan was still rambling on, Liu covered her mouth and whispered, "My goodness! Be careful! Walls have ears. If this gets back to your father, all the goodwill you've built up over the years will be ruined!"

After listening, Su Yunyan nodded and lowered her voice to tell Liu Shi everything about her encounter with Liu Wentao on the street that day.

After hearing this, Liu smiled and said in a low voice, "Yan'er, you're really something! It's a pity that my Yan'er is a girl. If she were a boy, she could have achieved so much."

After hearing this, Su Yunyan smiled but said nothing.

The next day, after Su Lie finished the morning court session and returned home, he called Su Yun Chu to his side.

Su Lie spoke first, asking, "Chu'er, what are your thoughts?"

Su Yun Chu lowered her head and pondered for a while, then answered seriously, "Father, I haven't thought it through yet. Marriage is a matter of my whole life, and I still want to be cautious."

Su Lie nodded, indicating his understanding.

He said earnestly, "Chu'er, I don't want to force you. But you've reached marriageable age now, and it's time to seriously consider it."

Seeing that Su Lie didn't coerce her, Su Yun Chu felt slightly relieved. "Thank you for your understanding, Father. I will seriously consider it." Su Lie looked at his obedient and sensible daughter, feeling a surge of satisfaction. "Yes, your own happiness is the most important. If you find someone suitable, you might as well get to know them." Su Yun Chu nodded slightly in agreement.

After turning to leave, Su Yunyan walked up to her, looking at her with a forced smile, "Sister, you are so lucky to have so many young masters' favor."

Su Yun Chu ignored her sarcastic remarks and walked past her as if she hadn't heard them.

Watching Su Yunchu's departing figure, Su Yunyan secretly vowed that she would never let her get away with it.

A few days later, while Su Yun Chu was strolling on the street, she saw Liu Wen Tao walking out of the bookstore in the distance, carrying some books and papers in his hands. He had no attendants with him and left alone in his own carriage.

After reading it, Su Yunchu nodded with satisfaction, thinking to herself, "This Young Master Liu is really a good person. I can get to know him better."

Back home, Su Yun Chu told Su Lie what she had seen on the street that day.

Su Yun Chu lowered her head and said shyly, "Father, Young Master Liu is a good person. I think we can get to know each other and see if we are compatible."

After hearing this, Su Lie nodded and immediately instructed the steward to go to the Duke's mansion to discuss the matter.

The people of the Duke's mansion were overjoyed to hear this, especially Liu Wentao, who was extremely excited! Finally, Miss Su had successfully noticed him.

At this moment, there was one person in the Su family who couldn't be happy at all—wasn't that Su Yunyan?

When she heard that Su Yun Chu was willing to get along with Liu Wen Tao, the eldest son of the Duke's mansion, and that Liu Wen Tao had agreed.

Su Yunyan flew into a rage in her courtyard, smashing everything inside the house; practically nothing escaped damage.

The maids who came to persuade her not to be angry were all beaten, so the remaining maids dared not come to persuade her anymore.

At this time, Su Lie heard about this and came to Su Yunyan's courtyard.

As soon as Su Lie walked in, he slapped Su Yunyan hard across the face.

Even Liu's persuasion couldn't soften Su Lie's expression.

Su Lie angrily ordered, "Second Miss Su Yunyan's behavior is eccentric and unforgivable. Punish her by deducting one month's salary, plus three months of confinement. She is not allowed to leave her room for these three months."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunyan crawled forward, trying to grab Su Lie's trouser leg, but Su Lie forcefully shook her off and walked away without looking back.

Su Yunyan, standing behind, cried, "Father, I really know I was wrong! Can you forgive me?"

But in response, she only saw Su Lie's back, which had already walked away.

Liu walked past Su Yunyan, giving her a disappointed look, before chasing after Su Lie.

When Su Yun Chu heard the news that Xi Er had gathered in her courtyard, she smiled and thought to herself, "This is just the beginning of the show. I'm really looking forward to seeing my sister go crazy!"
