Lu Chaoqun watched Su Yunyan's departing figure and fell into deep thought. He muttered to himself, "She just left like that. No wonder she's just a lowly concubine's daughter who can't be brought to the table."

Just as he finished speaking, Su Yunyan slowly walked over with the gifts.

She glanced at Lu Chaoqun and said in a low voice, "Uncle Lu, Yunyan didn't leave directly; she went to prepare gifts for you and Aunt Jiang."

"Please forgive my inappropriateness. I didn't know what kind of gifts you and Aunt Jiang would like, so I just prepared some mediocre little things."

After Su Yunyan finished speaking, she took out a scroll and handed it to Lu Chaoqun. Lu Chaoqun took the scroll, opened it, and saw a beautiful landscape painting.

The mountains and water are so lifelike, the artistic conception is extremely beautiful, and the lines are smooth. It is definitely the work of a famous artist and its value should be considerable. It is by no means some worthless trinket.

Upon seeing this, Lu Chaoqun was extremely satisfied! Then, he looked at Su Yunyan and said with a slight smile, "Miss Su, this gift you gave me is truly delightful! Your Aunt Jiang and I will definitely cherish it."

After hearing this, Su Yunyan looked at Lu Chaoqun, smiled and nodded, "Uncle Lu, I'm glad you like it! I was worried that you wouldn't like the gift I gave you."

"Haha, how could I not like such a precious gift?" Lu Chaoqun said happily. "Thank you for your kind gesture, Miss Su!"

After hearing this, Su Yunyan looked at Lu Chaoqun and nodded with a slight smile.

Just then, Jiang also came over and saw the scroll. She was immediately captivated by its beauty and artistic conception.

Seeing this, Su Yunyan glanced at Madam Jiang, walked over, and said with a light smile, "Aunt Jiang, do you like this painting?"

"Miss Su, you are so thoughtful. I like it very much!" Madam Jiang said softly.

After hearing this, Su Yunyan looked at Madam Jiang and said in a low voice, "Aunt Jiang, Yunyan has prepared another gift for you."

After Su Yunyan finished speaking, she took out a jade bracelet and handed it to Madam Jiang. The jade was of uniform color and translucent, a rare treasure indeed.

Seeing this, Madam Jiang looked at Su Yunyan and was even more pleased. "Miss Su, thank you for your kind gesture. Aunt Jiang is very pleased!"

After hearing this, Su Yunyan glanced at Madam Jiang and said with a slight smile,

"Aunt Jiang, I'm glad you like it! If you like any unusual or rare items, Yunyan will be happy to find them for you!"

After Su Yunyan finished speaking, she bowed to Lu Chaoqun and Madam Jiang and prepared to return to the Su residence.

Seeing this, Lu Chaoqun glanced at Su Yunyan and said with a slight smile, "Miss Su, let me send someone to escort you back to the Su residence!"

After hearing this, Su Yunyan looked at Lu Chaoqun and said with a slight smile, "Uncle Lu, there's no need to go to so much trouble! Yunyan can walk back by herself."

“Miss Su, how can this be?” Lu Chaoqun shook his head. “The journey isn’t short, and walking will be tiring! I’d better send someone to escort you back.”

After hearing this, Su Yunyan looked at Lu Chaoqun, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Lu, then I'll have to trouble you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chaoqun immediately instructed the steward to prepare a carriage and invite Lu Linglong and Lu Chenyi, the brother and sister, over.

After receiving the order, the steward prepared a carriage and invited Lu Chenyi and his sister Lu Linglong over.

The butler whispered a few words in Lu Chaoqun's ear. After hearing this, Lu Chaoqun waved his hand, signaling the butler to leave first.

After the steward left, Lu Chaoqun called Lu Chenyi and Lu Linglong to his side and said in a low voice, "Chenyi, Linglong, you two siblings should escort Miss Su back to the Su residence!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chenyi and Lu Linglong looked at Lu Chaoqun and said in unison, "Father, we will definitely send Miss Su Er back to the Su family mansion safely!"

After hearing this, Lu Chaoqun looked at Su Yunyan, then at Lu Chenyi and his sister, and waved his hand, "Go on, go on! Be careful on the road!"

Su Yunyan bowed to Lu Chaoqun and Madam Jiang again, and then walked out with Lu Chenyi and his sister.

At that moment, a carriage was parked outside the Lu residence. Su Yunyan and Lu Linglong boarded the carriage, while Lu Chenyi rode a tall horse at the front.

Su Yunyan and Lu Linglong chatted and laughed along the way. Lu Chenyi, on the other hand, seemed a bit out of place and didn't know what to say.

About half an hour later, the carriage came to a smooth stop in front of the Su residence. Lu Chenyi dismounted first, then reached out a hand to help Su Yunyan down from the carriage.

After Su Yunyan alighted from the carriage, Lu Chenyi and his group prepared to leave.

Su Yunyan glanced at Lu Chenyi, then at Lu Linglong, and said at the right moment, "Brother Chenyi, Linglong, would you like to come inside the Su residence for a while?"

After hearing this, Lu Chenyi looked at Su Yunyan, waved his hand, and said with a light smile, "Yan'er, my sister and I didn't prepare anything, we came empty-handed, so we're embarrassed to go in and bother Uncle Su."

"We won't go in. We'll visit Uncle Su another time! Besides, my brother and I still need to go back and report to our father."

Upon hearing this, Lu Linglong also peeked out, looked at Su Yunyan, and said apologetically, "Sister Yunyan, my brother and I will visit Uncle Su another time! I'm really sorry, we didn't prepare anything this time!"

Seeing this, Su Yunyan didn't dare to ask her to stay any longer. "Brother Chenyi, Linglong, thank you both for bringing me back. I'm so sorry to have troubled you!"

"Then you must be careful on the road. Yunyan will go in first!" Lu Linglong and Lu Chenyi waved their hands, gesturing for Su Yunyan to go in.

Outside the main gate of the Su residence, Su Yunyan gently knocked. Upon hearing the knock, the gatekeeper slowly opened a small door, peeked out, and saw that it was Su Yunyan.

The gatekeeper hurriedly called out loudly inside, "The Second Miss is back! The Second Miss is back!"

Upon hearing the commotion, Uncle Su hurriedly came out and said in a low voice, "Second Miss, you're finally back! Master was so worried about you! Please come with me to the study, so you can explain things to him properly later."

After hearing this, Su Yunyan looked at Su Bo and nodded slightly. She knew her father wouldn't let her off so easily, but she didn't know how he would punish her.

Then, she looked at Lu Chenyi, then at Lu Linglong, and said with a light smile, "Young Master Lu, Miss Lu, you should go back now!"

After Su Yunyan finished speaking, she followed Uncle Su into the gate of the Su residence.
