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

Immediately, Su Lie instructed his steward, Su Bo, to investigate the origins of the group of thugs. However, Su Bo failed to find any useful clues; the thugs had vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

At this moment, Su Yun Chu looked at Su Lie, then at Su Bo, and said in a low voice, "Father, the security at our Prime Minister's residence is quite tight. If the thugs don't have an inside man, they probably won't be able to get in."

"Not to mention that they were able to kidnap our Su family's maidservant despite being surrounded by guards. This proves that we Su family have thugs as accomplices!"

As Su Yun Chu spoke, she glanced at Liu Shi. Seeing this, Liu Shi immediately felt a little guilty. She looked at Su Yun Chu again and said coldly, "Chu'er, are you looking at me like that because you think I'm an informant for those thugs?"

"Mother, I really didn't mean that!" Su Yun Chu said with a gentle smile. "If that's what you think, there's nothing I can do about it!"

After hearing this, Liu looked at Su Yun Chu with a cold face and said nothing.

At this moment, Su Lie looked at Su Yun Chu, then at Madam Liu, and said in a low voice, "Madam, Chu'er, we're family, so let's not stand on ceremony. Tell me, who let those thugs in?"

After hearing this, Su Yun paused, looked at Su Lie, then at Liu Shi, and said in a low voice, "Father, I really don't know, it wasn't me!"

After hearing this, Granny Ye looked at Su Lie and then at Su Yun Chu, and said in a low voice, "Master, it can't be the eldest young lady. She's the one who saved Xin'er twice."

Upon hearing this, Liu was so angry that she gritted her teeth inwardly. That little bitch Su Yun Chu knew how to behave.

"My lord, I really don't know how those thugs got in!" Madam Liu said anxiously. "It wasn't me anyway!"

After hearing this, Su Lie looked at Su Yunyan, who had been silent, and asked in a low voice, "Yan'er, did you let those thugs in?"

"Father, how could this be?" Su Yunyan said, seemingly saddened. "You know my personality. You once said that I am the kindest and simplest person. Father, have you forgotten all of that?"

After hearing this, Su Lie paused for a moment, then said softly, "Yan'er, Father hasn't forgotten, and Father believes you wouldn't do such a thing!"

Su Yunyan smiled after hearing this, but said nothing. At this moment, a servant came in and whispered a few words in Su Lie's ear.

Immediately, Su Lie glanced at Granny Ji beside Liu Shi and said coldly, "Granny Ji, how dare you! How dare you do such a thing in my Su residence?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Ji immediately knelt down in fright and whispered, "Master, this old servant knows she was wrong! But this old servant was only following orders!"

After hearing this, Su Lie glanced at the kneeling Granny Ji and said coldly, "You old scoundrel, tell me, whose orders are you following? Tell me the truth!"

After hearing this, Granny Ji looked at Su Lie and nodded heavily. Just as Granny Ji was about to speak, Madam Liu quietly walked to Granny Ji's side.

Liu spoke in a low voice, only audible to Granny Ji, threateningly saying, "Granny Ji, think about it, you have a five-year-old grandson who needs a lot of money for medical treatment. That little guy is very cute, and I like him very much too!"

“Granny Ji, I don’t think you would want your grandson to die because you can’t afford medical treatment! As long as you confess your guilt, I will definitely keep my promise and cover all his medical expenses.”

After hearing this, Granny Ji nodded slightly. Then, Granny Ji knelt down heavily, looked at Su Lie, and said in a low voice, "Master, this old servant knows her mistake, this old servant confesses her sins! That group of thugs were all invited by this old servant, and it was this old servant who let them in."

After hearing this, Su Lie looked at Granny Ji and asked in confusion, "Granny Ji, why did you do this?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Ji glanced at Madam Liu, gritted her teeth, and said in a sharp voice, "Master, I hate Xin'er! I hate her to death! She got Madam's praise in the embroidery competition and has been showing off in front of this old servant ever since. She's so annoying!"

"Later, Xin'er went even further. Because she received praise from Consort Jia in the palace, she became even more arrogant. She even secretly met with Consort Jia behind Madam's back, completely disregarding our Madam. I truly feel sorry for our Madam, being ridden on by a mere maid..."

"I hate her so much, I wish she were dead!"

After hearing this, Su Lie looked at Granny Ji, then at Madam Liu, and asked in a low voice, "Granny Ji, was your mistress involved in this matter?"

After hearing this, Granny Ji looked at Su Lie and then at Madam Liu, only to see Madam Liu shake her head at her without making a sound.

Immediately, as if she had made up her mind, Granny Ji said in a low voice, "Master, our Madam was not involved in this matter."

"This was all done by this old servant. It has nothing to do with our lady. She was completely unaware of it!"

After hearing this, Su Lie looked at Liu Shi and asked in a low voice, "Liu Shi, did you instruct Granny Ji to do that? Did you know about it?"

"My lord, how could I possibly know what Granny Ji did?" Madam Liu said with a light smile. "If I had known, I would have done everything in my power to stop Granny Ji from doing such a wrong thing!"

Immediately, Madam Liu walked up to Granny Ji and coldly questioned her, "Granny Ji, I have treated you well! Why are you making things difficult for me? What are you up to?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Ji seemed to have heard a funny joke, and said with a feigned sneer, "Liu, you still dare to say that you have treated me well."

"Ever since Xin'er came, you seem to have become a different person. You always look down on me and find fault with me!"

“I’ve been following you for many years, and you easily pointed out the winner of the embroidery competition to Xin’er, whom you’ve only known for a few days, but not to me.”

"I hate Xin'er, but I hate you, Liu, even more!"

After hearing this, Liu looked at Granny Ji and said with apparent sadness, "Granny Ji, I thought that after spending so much time together, you would understand my actions! In fact, I was wrong, terribly wrong. I never imagined you would hate me so much!"

Granny Ji glanced at Madam Liu but said nothing. She simply lowered her head quietly, awaiting her final judgment.
