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

After Lu Chaoqun and his group left, Su Yun Chu took Xi Er to stroll around the streets.

To avoid attracting attention, Su Yun Chu deliberately changed into men's clothes and makeup. If you didn't look closely, you really couldn't tell. You would think he was a fair-skinned young master.

Su Yun Chu and her servant arrived at the market. Xi Er excitedly looked around, as if she was full of curiosity about everything.

Just then, a quarrel broke out from a jewelry stall ahead.

Su Yun walked towards the stall upon hearing the sound, and saw a beautifully dressed young lady arguing with the stall owner.

After inquiring, it turned out that the woman was trying to choose a hairpin, but the hairpin broke as soon as her hand touched it.

The stall owner grabbed the woman's hand, saying that she had broken the hairpin and demanded compensation; otherwise, she couldn't leave. The woman insisted that the hairpin was broken to begin with and refused to pay.

Seeing that the two were deadlocked, Su Yun Chu stepped forward to mediate between them.

Su Yun Chu examined the hairpin and noticed that it already showed signs of damage. She instantly realized that the stall owner was trying to extort the woman.

Su Yun Chu then pointed out the damage to the hairpin and explained it to everyone with reason and evidence. After listening, everyone criticized the stall owner's bad behavior.

After hearing this, the stall owner continued his unreasonable argument, saying, "Young master, you say it's damaged, but what proof do you have?"

At this moment, a tall man dressed in official robes appeared in the crowd.

Su Yun Chu brought the man over, and the man glanced at the hairpin and said, "Young Master, this hairpin is clearly damaged."

Upon hearing this, everyone condemned the stall owner's bad behavior. Seeing this, the stall owner quickly released the woman's hand and lowered his head in shame.

The woman said gratefully, "My benefactor, thank you for saving me. My name is Shen Yuqing. May I ask your honorable name?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun Chu replied, "Miss Shen, I am Su Yun Chu from the Su family."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuqing said softly, "Young Master Su, I have no way to repay your great kindness. Let me treat you to a simple meal!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunchu smiled and said, "Miss Shen, it was just a small favor for me! Besides, I don't approve of such things, so there's no need to invite you to dinner."

After saying that, Su Yun Chu took Xi Er to continue strolling through the market.

Shen Yuqing stared at Su Yun Chu's departing figure, unable to come back to her senses for a long time, thinking to herself, "What a fine young master!"

Su Yun Chu and Xi Er got tired from shopping and prepared to take a carriage back to the Su residence. After a while, Su Yun Chu and Xi Er returned to the Su residence.

Butler Su stopped Xi'er and instructed in a deep voice, "Xi'er, help the young lady change her clothes! The young lady's current outfit is really inappropriate."

After hearing this, Xi'er asked in confusion, "Uncle Su, why does Miss need to dress up again?"

After hearing this, Butler Su replied in a deep voice, "Xi'er, I heard that it's someone from the eldest young lady's maternal grandparents' family who's coming. Sigh, don't ask about things you shouldn't. Just do as I say."

After hearing this, Xi'er smiled and said softly, "Yes, Uncle Su, I understand. I will definitely complete the task you assigned perfectly."

Butler Su waved his hand, signaling Xi'er to leave. A short while later, Xi'er returned to Su Yun Chu's courtyard and told Su Yun Chu that the Shen family, Su Yun Chu's maternal grandfather, were coming to the mansion.

Upon hearing this, Su Yun Chu immediately perked up and hurriedly instructed Xi Er to help her with her hair and makeup.

Xi'er styled her hair beautifully, dressed her in a lovely outfit, and applied delicate makeup to her face.

Su Yun Chu looked at herself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Lan'er, a maid from the front hall, came to report: "Miss, your maternal grandfather, General Shen's family, has arrived. Master wants you to go to the front hall to receive them."

Su Yun Chu brought Xi Er to the front hall, where she saw her father, Su Lie, chatting amicably with her maternal grandfather, Shen Ao Tian, ​​and other members of the Shen family.

Su Yun Chu stepped forward and bowed to her maternal grandfather. Shen Aotian looked at Su Yun Chu affectionately, took her hand, and asked, "Yun Chu, how have you been lately?"

After hearing this, Su Yun Chu said in a low voice, "Replying to Grandfather, I have been doing well lately! How are you?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Aotian smiled and said softly, "Yun Chu, I'm fine. Your uncle and the others have returned as well."

After hearing this, Su Yun paused for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Grandfather, are my uncles all doing well?"

After listening, Shen Aotian paused, then said with some distress, "Alas, this is a long story! In a battle, your third uncle Shen Jin, fourth uncle Shen Jie, and fifth uncle Shen Tie were all lost forever, never to return. Only your eldest uncle Shen Yu, second uncle Shen Peng, and sixth uncle Shen Shi survived, and your second uncle Shen Peng was seriously injured; the doctor said he might never be able to stand again! Alas, that battle was such a heavy blow to our Shen family."

"I lost three sons at once. It's a pity that your uncles are all still unmarried and have no descendants to pay tribute to them."

After Shen Aotian finished speaking, his eyes were filled with tears, and he tried his best to hold them back.

Upon hearing this, Su Yun felt a pang of heartache. She hadn't expected this battle to be such a devastating blow to the Shen family.

Su Yun Chu looked at her maternal grandfather and comforted him, "Grandfather, my uncle and the others are all remarkable heroes. They fought bravely against the enemy for the country and the people, sacrificing their lives without hesitation. They are the pride of Tianyue Kingdom!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Aotian's expression softened slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Yun Chu, you're absolutely right! We can only have a family after we have a country. Your uncles are also the pride of our Shen family!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked energetic walked in with a beautifully dressed woman, a handsome young man with yellowish skin, and the young woman who had helped Su Yun Chu out of a predicament on the street yesterday.

Grandfather looked around, pointed to the middle-aged man, and said to Su Yun Chu, "Yun Chu, this is your maternal uncle, Shen Yu."

Su Yun Chu looked at the middle-aged man and greeted him softly, "Uncle, hello!" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at Su Yun Chu and said happily, "Yun Chu, you've grown so much in such a short time, and you're getting more and more beautiful!"

The maternal grandfather pointed again to the woman following behind his eldest maternal uncle and said to Su Yun Chu, "Yun Chu, this is your eldest maternal aunt, Madam Lin."

Su Yun Chu looked at the woman and said softly, "Auntie, hello! You're so beautiful!" The woman smiled and said, "Yun Chu, you have such a sweet tongue!"

Grandfather looked at Su Yun Chu, then pointed to the young man and said to Su Yun Chu, "Yun Chu, this is your cousin Shen Tianyi, your maternal uncle's son."

Su Yun Chu looked at the young man and said softly, "Cousin, hello." The young man replied, "Cousin Yun Chu, long time no see! You've grown into a beautiful young woman!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun lowered her head shyly.

At this moment, the young woman walked over, looked at Su Yun Chu, and asked in confusion, "Have we met somewhere before? You seem very familiar."

Upon hearing the voice, Su Yun Chu looked up and asked in surprise, "Huh, it's you?" The young woman glanced at Su Yun Chu and said with delight, "You are my benefactor."

The others looked at them and asked in unison, "Do you know each other?" Su Yun Chu and the young woman replied in unison, "No, we don't."

Then, the young woman told everyone how Su Yun Chu had helped her out of that predicament at the jewelry stall on the street.

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled and said, "What a coincidence!"

The grandfather looked at Su Yun Chu, stretched out his hand, and slowly pointed to the young woman, saying in a low voice, "This is Shen Yu Qing, the daughter adopted by your second uncle."

He sighed softly and continued, "Alas! The story of this girl is truly heartbreaking. Back then, when she was still young and innocent, her biological parents had already heroically sacrificed their lives in a fierce battle."

"The poor child was left all alone and destitute. Your kind and compassionate second uncle took pity on her and couldn't bear to see his subordinate's orphan wandering the streets in such a miserable state. So he resolutely took her in as his adopted daughter. But fate is cruel. Who could have imagined that even your second uncle himself would now be bedridden and unable to stand up again!"

After hearing this, Shen Yuqing said in a low voice, "Grandfather, Father adopted me and raised me to adulthood. Now it is time for me to repay him."

Upon hearing this, Shen Aotian said with satisfaction, "Yuqing, you are such a grateful child! I thank you on behalf of your father."

After hearing this, Shen Yuqing said softly, "Grandfather, this is what I should do."

After hearing this, Su Yun felt even more fond of her cousin Shen Yuqing, whom she had only met once.

After dinner, Shen Aotian and his group prepared to leave.

Just as they were parting, the eldest uncle said, "Yun Chu, if you have time, you can come visit my house."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun Chu whispered, "Uncle, he definitely will!"
