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

After hearing this, Su Lie looked Liu Wentao up and down. Liu Wentao also looked at Su Lie, his eyes filled with respect.

Seeing this, Su Lie nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself, "This young man speaks just right and is quite sincere. Moreover, the Liu family has a very good family tradition, so he is a good young man."

Su Lie composed himself, glanced at Liu Wentao, and asked in a low voice, "Nephew, you don't just want to visit this old man, do you?"

Su Lie, a seasoned official, could not possibly fail to see Liu Wentao's intentions in coming to the Su residence.

After listening, Liu Wentao paused for a moment, then stood up and replied, "Uncle Su, I, Wentao, have always admired your character and conduct, so I came here specifically to visit you."

Then, Liu Wentao looked at Su Lie and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Uncle Su, I have another request. I have long admired your Miss Su, and I hope you can grant me your sincere wish."

After hearing this, Su Lie paused, looked at Liu Wentao, smiled, and asked in a low voice, "Nephew, could you tell me how you met my Yun Chu?"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao told Su Lie about meeting Miss Su at Princess Mingyue's poetry gathering.

Then, Liu Wentao also said that his father knew he was interested in the Su family's daughter, so he brought all three of them to the Su residence to meet her.

Liu Wentao paused for a moment, then said softly, "That's how it happened. Later, your family's steward came to the Liu residence and said that your eldest daughter, Miss Su, was willing to get to know the eldest son of the Liu family."

"When we, the Liu family, heard this news, we were all extremely happy. Especially me, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night!"

After hearing this, Su Lie paused, looked at Liu Wentao, and said with feigned difficulty, "Nephew, but I prefer Yun Chu's cousin, Shen Tianyi. They know each other well, and Tianyi would never let my Yun Chu suffer any injustice!"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao deflated like a punctured balloon and didn't say a word for a long time.

At this moment, the butler, Uncle Su, came over and, taking advantage of Su Lie's inattention, secretly handed a note to Liu Wentao.

Liu Wentao, understanding the unspoken message, opened the note when Su Lie wasn't looking. The note read: "Young Master Liu, the master is testing your sincerity and attitude towards the young lady."

After reading the contents of the note, Liu Wentao immediately had an idea.

Then, Liu Wentao looked at Su Lie and said in a low voice, "Uncle Su, although you don't particularly like me, I, Wentao, will take good care of Miss Su and not let her suffer any grievances."

"I will prove to you that you made the right choice in selecting me. I will treat Miss Su well, and I hope you will grant my sincere wish."

Su Lie nodded in satisfaction in his heart after hearing this, but he didn't show it on his face.

Then, Su Lie looked at Liu Wentao and said in a low voice, "Nephew, let me think about it some more."

After hearing this, Liu Wentao smiled and said in a low voice, "Uncle Su, this matter concerns the lifelong happiness of your Miss Su. It is only natural to be cautious."

After Liu Wentao finished speaking, he bid farewell to Su Lie and prepared to leave the Su residence.

Su Lie glanced at Liu Wentao, called out to him, and asked in a low voice, "Nephew, it's getting late. Would you like to have a simple meal together?"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "Uncle Su, this is too much trouble for you. I think we should just forget about it!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie's expression immediately turned cold, and he said nothing more.

Seeing this, Butler Su looked at Liu Wentao and couldn't help but say, "Young Master Liu, my master doesn't usually like to invite people to eat at home. He's quite satisfied with you, otherwise he wouldn't have asked you to stay for dinner."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wentao was flattered. He looked at the butler, Uncle Su, and then at Su Lie, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Su, I, Wentao, thank you for your kind invitation, but I will inevitably have to trouble you!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie smiled and said in a low voice, "Nephew, there's no trouble at all. It's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. Don't stand on ceremony, make yourself at home, and don't be so polite with me!"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao paused, looked at Su Lie, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Su, then this junior, Wentao, will respectfully accept your offer!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie smiled, waved his hand, and gestured for Liu Wentao to sit down. Liu Wentao respectfully sat down.

Su Lie beckoned, and Lan'er cautiously approached. Su Lie looked at Lan'er and whispered, "Lan'er, please entertain Young Master Liu well! Make sure he is satisfied."

After hearing this, Lan'er replied in a low voice, "Yes, Master, I, Lan'er, guarantee that Young Master Liu will be satisfied!"

After Lan'er finished speaking, she walked towards Liu Wentao and bowed, saying, "This servant Lan'er greets Young Master Liu. May Young Master Liu be well!"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao paused, looked at Lan'er, and said softly, "Miss Lan'er, you don't need to be so polite!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie was extremely satisfied! He looked at Lan'er and said in a low voice, "Lan'er, you entertain Young Master Liu well! I'll be right back."

After hearing this, Lan'er glanced at Su Lie cautiously and whispered, "Yes, Master, please go ahead and attend to your business!"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao looked at Su Lie and said in a low voice, "Uncle Su, you can go and do your thing without worry!"

After hearing this, Su Lie looked at Liu Wentao, then at Lan'er, and then turned and walked out.

After Su Lie left, Lan'er smiled and served Liu Wentao a cup of tea, "Young Master Liu, please have some tea."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wentao stood up, took the tea Lan'er offered, took a small sip, and said softly, "This tea has a mellow and fragrant flavor; it's truly a fine tea!"

After hearing this, Lan'er looked at Liu Wentao, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Liu, you flatter me! My master loves drinking tea the most."

After hearing this, Liu Wentao paused for a moment, thinking to himself, "Uncle Su likes to drink tea, so I'm even more confident that I can win his favor!"

Then, Liu Wentao looked at Lan'er, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Miss Lan'er, drinking tea is good! Drinking tea is healthy."

Just then, Su Lie walked in and overheard Liu Wentao's words. Su Lie smiled and said softly, "Nephew, do you also like tea? Do you know anything about tea?"

After listening, Liu Wentao paused for a moment and replied in a low voice, "Uncle Su, it is my father who loves drinking tea and often tells me about the benefits of drinking tea."

"Therefore, I, Wentao, also enjoy drinking tea and know a little about it."

The two chatted amiably, and before they knew it, it was almost time for dinner. Su Lie instructed his maid, Lan'er, "Lan'er, go and invite the eldest and second young ladies over for dinner!"

After receiving the order, Lan'er went to invite the eldest young lady, Su Yun Chu, and the second young lady, Su Yun Yan, over. A short while later, Lan'er led Su Yun Chu and Su Yun Yan into the front hall.

Seeing this, Liu Wentao quickly stood up and greeted Su Yunchu and Su Yunyan.

After hearing this, Su Yunyan looked at Liu Wentao and said shyly, "Yan'er greets Young Master Liu, may Young Master Liu be well!"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao smiled, which was considered a response to Su Yunyan's words.

Su Yun Chu looked at Liu Wen Tao and asked in confusion, "Young Master Liu, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Wentao smiled and said in a low voice, "Miss Su, I've come to your residence to visit Uncle Su. Is it that Miss Su doesn't welcome me?"

After hearing this, Su Yun paused, smiled awkwardly, and said in a low voice, "Hehe, Young Master Liu, how could I not welcome you? You're very welcome!"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao looked at Su Yunchu and smiled.

Seeing this, Su Yunyan was instantly furious. She thought to herself, "Su Yunchu, one day I'll steal Liu Wentao away from you. Humph, just you wait and see!"
