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

The next morning, the butler, Uncle Su, invited Liu Wentao to breakfast. Liu Wentao glanced at Uncle Su and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Su, did Uncle Su's father sleep well last night?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Su replied softly, "Young Master Liu, thank you for your concern! My master is sleeping well!"

Then, Uncle Su asked with concern, "Young Master Liu, did you sleep well last night? Did you sleep well?"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Uncle Su, thank you for your concern! I slept well and am quite used to it!"

After hearing this, Uncle Su paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "Young Master Liu, please!" Liu Wentao then followed Uncle Su to the front hall.

At this moment, Su Lie was already sitting in the main seat, and the two sisters, Su Yun Chu and Su Yun Yan, were also sitting in their own seats.

Liu Wentao looked at Su Lie, bowed and said, "Uncle Su, good morning!" Then he greeted the two sisters, Su Yunchu and Su Yunyan, and sat down.

After finishing breakfast, Liu Wentao bid farewell to Su Lie, saying in a low voice, "Uncle Su, thank you for your warm hospitality! I'll be heading back now."

After Liu Wentao finished speaking, he glanced at Su Yun Chu and prepared to leave. At this moment, Su Lie called out to him, "Nephew, please wait! I have something to say to you!"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao stopped in his tracks. Then, he turned around, intending to hear what Su Lie had to say to him.

Su Lie glanced at Liu Wentao, paused, and said in a low voice, "Nephew, this is not the place to talk. Please move to my study to discuss this."

After hearing this, Liu Wentao followed Su Lie to Su Lie's study. Su Lie instructed the steward, Uncle Su, to close the door and stand guard outside, preventing anyone from approaching.

After the door closed, Su Lie looked at Liu Wentao and asked in a low voice, "Nephew, did I do anything out of line last night? Or say anything I shouldn't have?"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao paused for a moment, but still didn't say anything.

Su Lie glanced at Liu Wentao and said in a deep voice, "Nephew, I was drunk last night and what I said is nonsense. Nephew, do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Wentao felt extremely uncomfortable! He then looked at Su Lie with a puzzled expression, only to see Su Lie with a gloomy face, looking rather unwell.

Liu Wentao paused for a moment before finally saying, "Uncle Su, I understand what you're saying!"

After hearing this, Su Lie looked at Liu Wentao, nodded, and said in a low voice, "Nephew, I am very pleased that you think this way!"

"You are a good child. Our Yun Chu is also the apple of my eye. Her life's most important matter cannot be decided so hastily. I hope you can understand?"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao looked at Su Lie, nodded, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Su, I understand!"

After hearing this, Su Lie looked at Liu Wentao and said in a low voice, "Nephew, it's getting late, you should go back now!" Then, Su Lie instructed his steward, Su Bo, to send someone to escort the eldest son of the Liu family back to the Duke's mansion.

Liu Wentao realized that Su Lie was essentially telling him to leave. So, Liu Wentao quickly and tactfully said, "Uncle Su, there's really no need for that. It's just that I, Wentao, have been bothering you. Please forgive me!"

"Uncle Su, I, Wentao, will be heading back now. Please take good care of yourself!" After saying this, Liu Wentao left Su Lie's study with a heavy heart.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Su Yun Chu walked over to Liu Wen Tao, looked at him, and asked with concern, "Brother Wen Tao, Dad asked you to go to the study. Did he say anything to you? What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao acted as if he hadn't heard it and walked out of the Su residence on his own.

Su Yun Chu followed behind and walked out, angrily saying to Liu Wentao's back, "Brother Wentao, say something! What do you mean by this? Are you dissatisfied with me? Why aren't you saying anything? Say something!"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao stopped, turned around, looked at Su Yun Chu, and said coldly, "Chu'er, I don't think there's anything between us. Let's stop contacting each other from now on and let's both calm down!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunchu burst into tears. After a long pause, she finally spoke, "Brother Wentao, what do you mean by that? You want to break up with me, right?"

After listening, Liu Wentao paused, looked at Su Yun Chu, and said resolutely, "Chu'er, that's what you mean. I'm tired of you. Don't come looking for me anymore. I won't talk to you anymore."

After hearing this, Su Yun paused, looked at Liu Wentao who seemed somewhat indifferent and unfamiliar, and said in a low voice, "Brother Wentao, haven't we always been on good terms? Why is this happening? Did my father say something to you?"

After listening, Liu Wentao paused, looked at Su Yun Chu, and said coldly, "Chu'er, what Uncle Su said to me is no longer important. What's important is that I'm tired of you. I'm really exhausted and don't want to continue!"

After Liu Wentao finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Su Yun Chu standing there, sobbing uncontrollably.

Soon after, a torrential downpour began.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Su Yun Chu stood in the rain, looking lost and distraught, crying incessantly. Rainwater mixed with her tears slid down her cheeks, soaking her clothes.

At this moment, Liu Wentao was also feeling bad. He wandered aimlessly down the street, letting the rain soak his clothes.

Upon returning to the Duke's mansion, Liu Wentao locked himself in his room all day, refusing to even eat the meals brought by the servants. Soon after, Liu Wentao fell ill.

Liu Wentao lay in bed, calling out Su Yun Chu's name repeatedly in his sleep. Seeing this, Duke Liu Yaohui and Duchess Jiang felt deeply distressed.

Su Yun Chu developed a high fever after being caught in the rain and fell into a coma; her condition was extremely serious. The Su family's doctors tried every possible method to reduce the fever, but to no avail, leaving them somewhat at a loss.

Seeing this, Su Lie was heartbroken! He went to great lengths to use his connections to bring in a royal physician for Su Yun Chu.

After the imperial physician arrived at the Su residence, he examined Su Yun Chu and prescribed a medicine. However, after taking the medicine, Su Yun Chu showed no signs of improvement, which greatly worried Su Lie and his maid, Xi'er.

During the time Su Yun Chu was unconscious, Su Lie stayed by Su Yun Chu's bedside without changing his clothes, afraid that he would lose his precious Chu'er again.

Su Lie began to reflect on whether he had really made a mistake!

Meanwhile, at the Duke's mansion, Duke Liu Yaohui and his wife, Madam Jiang, were also very worried about their son, Liu Wentao. So, they asked around to inquire about Su Yunchu's condition, and learned that Su Yunchu was very ill.

Therefore, Duke Liu Yaohui and Duchess Jiang brought precious medicinal herbs to the Su residence to visit Su Yun Chu and wish her a speedy recovery.

Liu Yaohui took Su Lie's hand and said, "Brother Su, let the children handle their own affairs!"

After hearing this, Su Lie paused, then said regretfully, "Alas, Brother Liu, it's all my fault that they've been harmed!"

A few days later, Su Yun Chu finally woke up under the care of Su Lie and Xi Er.

Liu Wentao's health gradually recovered. Liu Yaohui and Jiang decided to let Liu Wentao go out for a walk, so they persuaded him to go to the Su residence to see Su Yunchu.

When Liu Wentao arrived at the Su residence, he saw Su Yun Chu taking a stroll in the garden. He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately walked over.

“Brother Wentao…” Su Yun Chu’s eyes flashed with surprise when she saw Liu Wentao.

Liu Wentao looked at Su Yun Chu, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He gently took Su Yun Chu's hand and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Chu'er, I'm sorry... I was too impulsive before."

Su Yun Chu smiled slightly and said softly, "Brother Wen Tao, I understand. Let's not separate so easily again, okay?"

Liu Wentao nodded, and the two smiled at each other, deciding to face the difficulties of the future together.
