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

After Su Yun Chu and Xi Er returned to their room, Xi Er lowered her voice and asked, "Miss, how come I didn't know you learned kung fu?"

After hearing this, Su Yun realized that the original owner of the body was completely ignorant of martial arts.

Then, she thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because I'm more talented! I've learned a bit from watching my grandfather and uncle practice kung fu."

After hearing this, Xi'er nodded approvingly, "That must be it."

Su Yun Chu said softly, "Xi'er, I'm a little tired, I'll go and rest for a bit!"

Upon hearing this, Xi'er quickly replied, "Okay, okay, okay, Miss, please go and rest! Don't worry, I'll take care of things here."

Thinking about what had happened to her mistress at the White Horse Temple that day, Xi'er grew increasingly angry and fearful. Xi'er thought to herself, "I must do something for my mistress."

Suddenly, an idea popped into Xi'er's mind. Xi'er went to the main courtyard where Su Lie lived. Upon seeing Su Lie, Xi'er said painfully, "Master, Miss..."

Before Xi'er could finish speaking, Su Lie interrupted her, saying in a deep voice, "Xi'er, what's wrong with your young lady? Has something happened?"

Upon hearing this, Xi'er whispered, "Reporting to Master, Lu Chenyi, the heir of the Lu family, sent a note to Miss, arranging to meet at the White Horse Temple outside the city."

"Miss waited for a while, but Young Master Lu still didn't come, so Miss prepared to leave."

"Just then, the young lady was surrounded by a large group of beggars who appeared out of nowhere. They tried to strip her clothes and assault her."

Upon hearing this, Su Lie angrily said, "Xi'er, didn't you go with your young lady? Why didn't you come back to the manor to get reinforcements?"

Upon hearing this, Xi'er said fearfully, "Master, I went with her too. When Miss went in, she told me to keep watch outside. Shortly after Miss went in, I was knocked unconscious from behind. Master, it's all my fault for not protecting Miss. I'm so sorry! Master, hit me, scold me!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie felt a pang of heartache and asked, "Xi'er, is your young lady alright?"

Upon hearing this, Xi'er said with relief, "Reporting to Master, Miss is quite well and nothing has happened. This is all thanks to Miss using the kung fu she learned from General Shen to drive away that large group of beggars."

Upon hearing this, Su Lie breathed a sigh of relief, but still said with some displeasure, "The Lu family has done such an outrageous thing to Chu'er, I will not let this go."

After hearing this, Xi'er said in a low voice, "Master, Miss has suffered such a great injustice, we should seek justice for her."

After hearing this, Su Lie said nothing, but simply waved his hand to signal Xi'er to leave.

Su Lie ordered the steward to come over, and the steward noticed that Su Lie's expression was not good.

So the butler cautiously asked, "Master, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie said in a deep voice, "Lu Chenyi of the Lu family actually dared to set a trap for my precious daughter Yun Chu. This is outrageous!"

After hearing this, the butler asked in confusion, "Master, what exactly happened?"

After listening, Su Lie told the steward everything that Xi'er had said.

The steward was furious upon hearing this. He immediately said sternly, "Master, I will gather the servants and go to the Marquis's residence to confront them. We cannot let the young lady be bullied like this."

Just as the butler was about to leave, Su Lie shouted sternly, "Are you going to the Lu family to start a fight? We're here to resolve the issue and reason with them."

Upon hearing this, the butler immediately stopped.

Su Lie instructed the steward in a deep voice: "Go and investigate whether Lu Chenyi, the heir of the Lu family, made an appointment to meet the young lady today. Also, investigate the origin of that large group of beggars."

The butler received the order and left. The butler was very efficient; he investigated the matter thoroughly in just one day.

It turns out that it was Lu Linglong, the daughter of the Marquis Lu family, who was jealous that the eldest daughter of the Duke's family could win the favor of Liu Wentao, the eldest son of the Duke's family.

Lu Linglong imitated the handwriting of Lu Chenyi, the heir of the Marquis's mansion, who was also Lu Linglong's brother, and wrote a note to the young lady, inviting her to meet at the White Horse Temple outside the city.

That large group of beggars was also planted by Lu Linglong beforehand, intending to humiliate the young lady and ruin her reputation.

When the time is right, she will lead Liu Wentao, the eldest son of the Duke's mansion, into the White Horse Temple.

In this way, Liu Wentao, the eldest son of the Duke's mansion, will harbor resentment towards the young lady when he sees these things, with the aim of breaking up the relationship between the young lady and Liu.

After hearing the steward's findings, Su Lie became furious and shouted, "You Lu family, you Lu Linglong! I'll make you regret this!"

Immediately, Su Lie instructed the steward to prepare a carriage to go to the Lu residence. Upon arriving at the Lu residence, Su Lie stormed in aggressively.

Lu Chaoqun, seated in the main seat, saw this scene and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Brother Su, why are you so angry?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie angrily said, "Brother Lu, you really have a good daughter! She's plotting against my Yun Chu to ruin her reputation!"

After hearing this, Lu Chaoqun asked in confusion, "Brother Su, what's going on? My daughter Linglong is very innocent and simple-minded; she shouldn't do such a thing."

Upon hearing this, Su Lie angrily said, "Brother Lu, these are all things said by Xi'er, the personal maid of my daughter Yun Chu. In order not to wrong your Lu family, I specifically instructed the steward to investigate the situation."

After Su Lie finished speaking, he wrote down everything the steward had investigated on a piece of paper, along with the beggars' testimonies.

Su Lie angrily threw the paper in front of Lu Chaoqun.

Lu Chaoqun was shocked when he saw it. Could this really be something that his simple-minded Linglong had made?

Immediately, Lu Chaoqun said in a low voice, "Brother Su, I would like to apologize to your Miss Su on behalf of my daughter Linglong. However, I need to investigate first. I will then give you and Miss Su a reasonable explanation. I hope you can agree to my request?"

After hearing this, Su Lie said nothing and left the Lu residence with his steward and attendants.

After Su Lie left, Lu Chaoqun brought his son Lu Chenyi and daughter Lu Linglong over.

Lu Chaoqun asked Lu Chenyi first, "Yi'er, did you make an appointment with Miss Su to meet at the White Horse Temple outside the city today?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chenyi asked in confusion, "Father, I didn't make an appointment with Miss Su today! Did something happen to Miss Su?"

After listening, Lu Chaoqun told Lu Chenyi everything that Su Lie had said.

Lu Chenyi didn't say anything after hearing this. Then, Lu Chaoqun looked at his daughter Lu Linglong, only to see that Lu Linglong had her head down and didn't dare to look at him.

Lu Chaoqun realized that what Su Lie said was true!

He could hardly believe that his simple-minded daughter had actually done something so wicked.

Lu Chaoqun directly asked Lu Linglong, "Linglong, why did you treat Miss Su like this?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Linglong immediately felt guilty, thinking, "Father, how could he have known?"

Immediately, Lu Linglong said coldly, "Father, blame Su Yun Chu. Who told her to steal Liu Wen Tao, whom I liked?"

After hearing this, Lu Chaoqun said with a look of disappointment, "Sigh, you..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Linglong gritted her teeth in hatred, but still said nothing.
