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

Before long, Su Yun Chu drifted off to sleep against the carriage.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage came to a steady stop in front of the Su residence.

Xi'er took Su Yun Chu's hand and helped her down from the carriage.

Su Yun Chu and Xi Er returned to their room together. Xi Er asked in a low voice, "Miss, the carriage ride was a bit bumpy. Would you like to rest for a while?"

After hearing this, Su Yunchu smiled and said softly, "Hmm, Xi'er, what you've been saying is making me a little tired. I'm going to take a nap first. I'll call you if I need anything. You can go ahead and do your work!"

After hearing this, Xi'er gently closed the door and left.

Soon after, Su Yun Chu fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already dark.

Just then, Lan'er, a maid from the front hall, came over and whispered outside Su Yun Chu's courtyard, "Miss, Master wants you to have dinner in the front hall."

After hearing this, Su Yun replied in a low voice, "Lan'er, I understand! You go ahead first, I'll be right there."

Upon hearing this, Lan'er said in a low voice, "Miss, I, Lan'er, will go ahead and report to the master."

After Lan'er finished speaking, she left Su Yun Chu's courtyard. A short while later, Lan'er returned to the front hall to report to Su Lie.

At this moment, Su Yun Chu hurriedly instructed Xi Er to help her with her hair and makeup. After she finished dressing up, she led Xi Er towards the front hall.

Su Yun Chu entered the front hall and saw her father Su Lie, her stepmother Liu, and her younger sister Su Yun Yan already sitting at the dining table.

Su Yun Chu bowed to her father Su Lie and stepmother Liu, and then sat down in her seat.

After Su Yun Chu was seated, Su Lie instructed the servants to bring the dishes to the table. Soon, all the dishes were brought out, filling the table to the brim – a truly sumptuous feast!

Immediately afterward, Su Lie announced the start of dinner. Only after Su Lie and Liu Shi took their first bites did Su Yun Chu and Su Yun Yan begin to eat.

At the dinner table, the family was in a very harmonious atmosphere, chatting and laughing, as if they were a particularly happy family.

However, this is only what it appears to be on the surface.

Su Yunyan glanced at Su Yunchu, smiled, and said with feigned concern, "Sister, you've been busy visiting Grandfather and uncles these past few days. You must be very tired, right?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun thought to herself, "Is Su Yunyan implying that I'm too busy with my maternal grandparents' affairs and not as attentive to my own family?"

Immediately, Su Yun Chu sneered and said, "Sister, my maternal grandfather and uncles are all my family. How could visiting my own family be tiring?"

Seeing this, Su Lie said in a deep voice, "You two sisters should just eat properly and not talk."

Su Yunyan felt a little annoyed after hearing this, but she didn't say anything more.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became unusually quiet and tense.

Before long, the meal was finally finished.

Su Yunyan walked out first. When Su Yunchu was about to leave, her father Su Lie called her back, "Chu'er, wait a moment! I have something to tell you."

After hearing this, Su Yun Chu stopped, turned around, and said in a low voice, "Father, I'm listening. Please speak!"

After hearing this, Su Lie said gently, "Chu'er, you did the right thing! Our Su family should also keep in touch with your maternal grandparents' family and maintain good relations."

After hearing this, Su Yun smiled and said softly, "Father, thank you for your understanding! Everything I did was for the good of our Su family."

Upon hearing this, Su Lie smiled and said gently, "Chu'er, your father knows everything."

After Su Lie finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling Su Yun Chu to step down.

A short while later, Su Yun Chu and Xi Er returned to their room.

Su Yun Chu instructed Xi Er to prepare more hot water for her, as she wanted to take a bath.

After receiving the order, Xi'er went to fetch some hot water and filled the bathtub.

Xi'er also added some rose petals and some fresh milk to the bathtub.

Su Yun Chu entered the bathtub, enjoying the warmth of the hot water, which washed away her fatigue and made her feel more relaxed.

After Su Yun Chu finished bathing, Xi Er quickly found a towel and dried her skin and hair.

Su Yun Chu changed into a beautiful and exquisite nightgown, lay down on the bed, and prepared to sleep.

Xi'er cleaned the bathtub thoroughly, then blew out the light, gently closed the door, and left.

The next morning, Su Yun Chu got up early. With Xi Er's help, Su Yun Chu washed up and then went to the front hall for breakfast.

After having breakfast, Su Yun Chu took Xi Er back to her room.

Just then, Su Yun Chu's cousin, Shen Tian Yi, arrived and was currently in the main courtyard where Su Lie was.

In the main courtyard, Su Lie sat upright in the main seat, looked at Shen Tianyi who walked in, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Tianyi, you've come!"

Immediately, Su Lie instructed Lan'er, "Lan'er, quickly invite Young Master to take a seat."

After hearing this, Shen Tianyi said in a low voice, "Tianyi greets Uncle."

After speaking, Shen Tianyi sat down.

Shen Tianyi then glanced around and, not seeing the figure he longed for, felt a little disappointed.

After reading it, Su Lie replied in a low voice, "Tianyi, what brings you to my residence?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Tianyi immediately came to his senses and said in a low voice, "Uncle, I came here specifically to visit you!"

After reading it, Su Lie immediately understood that Tianyi, that silly boy, hadn't come to see him at all; he had clearly come to see his precious Yun Chu.

Immediately, Su Lie deliberately instructed Lan'er, "Lan'er, go and invite both young ladies over!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Tianyi quickly asked in a low voice, "Uncle, is Cousin Yun Chu at home?"

Lan'er accepted the order and prepared to leave, but Su Lie stopped her.

"Lan'er, all you need to do is go and invite the young lady over. Go ahead!"

Before long, Su Yun Chu, along with Xi Er and Lan Er, arrived at the main courtyard where Su Lie was.

Su Yun Chu looked at Su Lie and asked in confusion, "Father, is there something you want to see me about?"

After hearing this, Su Lie was about to say something when Shen Tianyi spoke up, "Cousin Yun Chu, it's all my fault for being a bit presumptuous. It was I who wanted to see you."

After hearing this, Su Yun paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "Oh, so it's my cousin!"

After hearing this, Su Yun Chu smiled and said in a low voice, "Cousin Yun Chu, could you do me a favor?"

After hearing this, Su Yun asked in confusion, "Cousin, what kind of help do you need?"

Shen Tianyi paused for a moment after hearing this, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Cousin Yun Chu, it's nothing particularly important, I just wanted to invite you for tea. Would you be willing?"

Su Yunchu felt a little shy after hearing this. She paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "Cousin, I'm not feeling well today, so I might not be able to go."

After hearing this, Shen Tianyi paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Cousin Yun Chu, I was too abrupt. I'm sorry!"

After hearing this, Su Lie said softly, "Chu'er, why don't you spend some time with your cousin?"

After hearing this, Su Yun paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "Father, it's really not convenient for me to go today."

After hearing this, Shen Tianyi paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "Cousin Yun Chu, it's really inconvenient for you today, so let's go tomorrow! I'll pick you up tomorrow."

After hearing this, Su Yun paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Okay! Then let's go tomorrow, cousin!"

Shen Tianyi was overjoyed upon hearing this!

Shen Tianyi smiled and said in a low voice, "Alright! Cousin Yun Chu, see you tomorrow!"

After saying goodbye to Su Lie, Shen Tianyi prepared to leave.
