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

Immediately, Shen Shi led his men in a bow towards the cliff and shouted, "Nanxuan, we have defeated the enemy and are now returning to the capital! If you hear this, please hurry up and follow us, understand?"

After Shen Shi finished speaking to his subordinates, tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

Men don't easily shed tears, unless they are truly heartbroken. These tough warriors felt as if rain were falling on their hearts; they were so sad and tormented!

Then, they mounted their horses and prepared to leave. After taking a few steps, they looked back, worried that Su Nanxuan might not be able to find them or the way home.

At this moment, Su Yun Chu was sleeping in her own bed in Xia Guang Courtyard.

In her dream, she seemed to see her brother, Su Nanxuan, covered in blood, standing silently by her bedside, watching her. The nightmare terrified her, and she woke up in a cold sweat.

Su Yun Chu sat up, leaning against the edge of the bed, wiping the sweat from her forehead. She composed herself, thinking that this dream was too real; could it be that something had really happened to her brother, Su Nan Xuan?

So she instructed Xi'er to inquire about her brother, Su Nanxuan. After Xi'er accepted the order, she left Xiaguang Courtyard.

Before long, Xi'er found out the situation. "Miss, good news! My sixth maternal uncle has led his troops back to the capital. They are about 800 li away from the city gate, and they will be able to enter the city in about 5 hours."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun Chu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out she missed her brother, Su Nan Xuan, so much that she dreamt about him.

Since it was still early, Su Yun Chu lay down again. Soon after, she fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Su Yun Chu got up early. After having breakfast, she took Xi Er to the free clinic outside the Su residence.

She heard people talking about something and couldn't help but listen carefully.

Some people spoke up, saying, "I heard that General Shen led his troops to defeat the enemy and will be entering the city this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, the others echoed, "General Shen, you are truly outstanding! Of course, the men he leads are also extremely capable!"

After hearing this, Su Yunchu looked at the people waiting to see a doctor and said with a slight smile, "Alright, everyone please line up and come up for your consultation one by one!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately lined up and came forward one by one for their consultation. Before they knew it, Su Yun Chu had been busy all morning and had finally seen almost everyone waiting to be seen.

After the last person waiting for a consultation had finished, Su Yun Chu stretched her stiff body slightly, then packed her things with Xi Er and returned to Xia Guang Courtyard.

At this moment, inside the palace, as Su Lie was about to leave after court, an official called out to him, "Prime Minister Su, please wait!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie stopped, turned around to look at the speaker, and said softly, "Oh, it's General Chen. May I ask what brings you here?"

"Prime Minister Su, you have truly raised a fine son!" General Chen said tactfully.

After hearing this, Su Lie looked at General Chen and said with a slight smile, "General Chen, you flatter me. My son is nowhere near as outstanding as you describe."

Upon hearing this, General Chen glanced at Su Lie and felt a pang of sadness, but still said, "Prime Minister Su, the news has spread throughout our military."

"I heard that your son, Su Nanxuan, also known as General Su, has died for his country, and his cenotaph is on its way back!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie looked at General Chen in disbelief and said coldly, "General Chen, don't spread rumors based on hearsay!"

After Su Lie finished speaking, he stormed off. General Chen, seeing this, sighed and also left the palace.

After returning home, Su Lie dismissed the servants and sat alone at his desk in his study, lost in thought. Uncle Su, seeing this, was terrified!

So he hurriedly went to Xiaguang Courtyard to invite Su Yun Chu to come and take a look. At that moment, Su Yun Chu was having lunch in Xiaguang Courtyard.

She looked up at Uncle Su as he walked in, and said with a slight smile, "Uncle Su, what brings you here? Did Father need to see me?"

"Young Miss, why don't you come with me to take a look?" Uncle Su shook his head.

"When the master returned from court, he dismissed all the servants and locked himself in his study. Something seems to have happened!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun Chu disregarded her unfinished lunch and followed Uncle Su to Su Lie's study.

Outside the study, Su Yun Chu gently knocked on the door and anxiously asked, "Father, what's wrong? Did something happen to you in the palace?"

After hearing this, Su Lie forced a smile, "Chu'er, Father is really fine. You go and take care of your own things first!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun Chu immediately realized that something must have happened, otherwise her father wouldn't be acting this way.

Su Yun Chu stood at the door, looked at Su Lie inside, and pleaded through tears, "Father, please let your daughter come in to see you and keep you company!"

After hearing this, Su Lie finally agreed to Su Yun Chu's request, "Chu'er, come in and talk to your father!"

Su Yun Chu gently pushed open the door, walked in, and sat down next to Su Lie.

Su Yun Chu looked at Su Lie and asked softly, "Father, what exactly happened? Please don't hide it from your daughter."

After hearing this, Su Lie looked at Su Yun Chu, took a deep breath, and said sadly, "I heard that Nan Xuan... your brother sacrificed himself on the battlefield."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun was struck dumb, and tears welled up instantly.

How could that be? Mingming Xier said that her sixth uncle led his troops back to the capital, and her brother Su Nanxuan should also be coming back.

Immediately, she grabbed Su Lie's arm and said in a trembling voice, "Father, this is impossible! Xi'er clearly said that Sixth Uncle led his troops back to the capital..."

After hearing this, Su Lie patted Su Yun Chu's hand and comforted her, "Chu'er, I don't want to believe it either! General Chen told me this himself."

After hearing this, Su Yun looked at Su Lie and said in a low voice, "Father, I don't believe that my brother is gone. I have to go and verify it myself."

After Su Yun Chu finished speaking, she left in a hurry. Seeing this, Su Lie looked at Su Yun Chu's departing figure with a lonely expression, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

After a while, Su Yun Chu quickly returned to Xia Guang Courtyard. She and Xi Er got into a carriage and headed towards the city gate.

Before long, Su Yun Chu and Xi Er arrived at the city gate.

It was right here that she sent her brother Su Nanxuan and cousin Shen Tianyi off to the battlefield, and gave them amulets she had obtained herself for protection.

Now, she is still here, waiting for news of her brother, Su Nanxuan.

At this moment, more and more people were waiting at the city gate, welcoming their relatives and friends back.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Shi led his men into the city. Su Yun Chu anxiously searched for Su Nan Xuan in the crowd, but couldn't find him anywhere.

Su Yun Chu rushed to Shen Shi and asked in a low voice, "Sixth Uncle, why didn't my brother come back with us?"

Just as Shen Shi was about to say something, Su Yun Chu saw a cart with a rather large coffin on it.

Upon seeing this, Su Yun rushed towards the cart carrying the coffin without hesitation, calling out her brother Su Nanxuan's name in despair.
