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

After Lu Chaoqun and his group left, Su Lie called the two sisters, Su Yunchu and Su Yunyan, to his side and told them about the matter.

After hearing this, Su Yunchu didn't say anything, but just looked at Su Yunyan's expression.

Su Yunyan could not hide her joy and said with a light smile, "Yan'er will leave it to Father to decide."

After hearing this, Su Lie sighed and asked, "Have you really thought it through?"

Su Yunyan looked at Su Yunchu and said, "Father, I have really thought it through. I have liked Young Master Lu for a long time."

After hearing this, Su Lie sighed and said, "So be it, it's all your own fate. You'd better take care of yourself!"

Just as Su Yunyan was about to say something, the gatekeeper announced that someone from the Duke of Guo's mansion had arrived.

Su Lie couldn't help but wonder, "Our Su family and the Duke's mansion have never had a proper relationship. What is your purpose in coming here this time?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun Chu said softly, "Father, guests are guests. Let's go and meet them. This is our Su family's territory. I think the people from the Duke's Mansion need something from our Su family, so they wouldn't dare to act recklessly."

Upon hearing this, Su Lie laughed and said, "It seems that even the elders are a bit undecided! Fortunately, our Chu'er is decisive."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunyan said in a displeased tone, "Father, Yan'er can do it too."

Upon hearing this, Su Lie was furious, but he said nothing.

Seeing this, Su Yunchu said softly, "Father, how are you old? You're still young, and you're still my and my sister Yunyan's strongest support. I was just showing off a little cleverness, it's nothing special."

Upon hearing this, Su Lie's expression softened slightly, and he smiled, saying, "I am already very content to have a daughter like you, Chu'er. You are just like your mother, as dazzling and beautiful as she is!"

Immediately, Su Lie fell into deep thought. "Rou'er, look at our daughter Yun Chu. She is so radiant, just like you. Do you see? I really miss you. Why don't you appear in my dreams?"

Just as he was lost in thought, Su Yun Chu interrupted him: "Father, what's wrong? What are you thinking about so intently?"

After listening, Su Lie took a while to come to his senses and said with a slightly embarrassed tone, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about your mother."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunyan was immediately annoyed, thinking, "That bitch Shen Yurou, she's been dead for so many years, yet Father still thinks about her all the time. And my mother is so good to him, yet he can turn a blind eye to it all. It's such a waste of my mother's sincerity towards him. He even treats Su Yunchu better than he treats me. I'm really not reconciled!"

Su Yun Chu glanced at Su Yun Yan's expression and couldn't help but smile. "What an idiot, so impatient!"

Then, Su Yun Chu laughed self-deprecatingly, thinking, "Sigh, it seems the original owner was even more foolish, actually being completely fooled by that idiot Su Yun Yan."

Seeing Su Yunchu's expression, Su Yunyan became even angrier. Because Su Lie was present, she couldn't lash out on the spot and could only glare at Su Yunchu.

Su Yun Chu seemed to see it, yet also seemed not to, and said with a light smile, "Father, how could your daughter be as good as you say?"

Su Lie didn't say anything after hearing this.

Immediately, Su Lie instructed the gatekeeper to invite the people from the Duke's mansion into the residence.

The person who came was none other than Duke Liu Yaohui, accompanied by his three sons Liu Wentao, Liu Mingtao, and Liu Yu.

Su Lie sat upright in the main seat, looked at Duke Liu Yaohui, and asked in a strong voice, "May I ask what brings you here, Duke?"

Liu Yaohui stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Brother Su, what are you saying? I came today to pay my respects to you. And also to ask for the hand in hand with a daughter of the Su family for the sake of my good-for-nothing sons."

Upon hearing this, Su Lie was immediately startled and asked in confusion, "Eh, what's going on? Which of my Su family's daughters have you taken a fancy to?"

At this moment, Liu Wentao, the eldest son of the Duke's mansion, stood up and spoke first: "Uncle Su, I saw your young lady at the poetry gathering hosted by Princess Mingyue last time. She was so talented and beautiful! She really captivated me. I only found out later that she was your young lady, Miss Su."

As soon as Liu Wentao finished speaking, Liu Mingtao and Liu Yu stood up and said in unison, "Uncle Su, it is your Miss Su from your esteemed household."

Upon hearing this, Su Lie became even more puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, my dear nephew, which Miss Su are you referring to?"

Now it was Liu Wentao, Liu Mingtao, and Liu Yu's turn to be puzzled. They asked in confusion, "Uncle Su, is this Miss Su from your esteemed household? Do you have several Miss Sus in your household?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie replied, "Yes, I have two daughters, one of whom is already betrothed."

Liu Wentao, Liu Mingtao, and Liu Yu were all very frustrated after hearing this, but they didn't say much, since the girl had her own choice.

At that moment, Liu Yaohui asked in a low voice, "Brother Su, may I ask which family's son your daughter is betrothed to?"

Su Lie paused for a moment, then replied, "Brother Liu, my daughter is betrothed to Lu Chenyi, the young master of the Lu family."

After hearing this, Liu Wentao, Liu Mingtao, and Liu Yu suddenly recalled the interaction between Lu Chenyi, the heir of the Lu family, and the young lady of the Su family at Princess Mingyue Qi Shu's poetry gathering. How intimate they were!

The three brothers, Liu Wentao, Liu Mingtao, and Liu Yu, couldn't help but feel their eyes dim. Where was there any chance left for them?

Liu Yaohui, a seasoned veteran of officialdom, remained calm and composed, and congratulated him with a smile: "Brother Su, congratulations! The young master of the Lu family is not only handsome, but also highly learned. He is truly a rare talent! His future is limitless!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie was overjoyed and said with a smile, "That's right, that's right. I was only willing to betroth my daughter to Lu Chenyi, the young master of the Lu family, because I saw his potential."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yaohui said regretfully, "Brother Su, it seems that my good-for-nothing sons are not destined to be with your daughter!"

Su Lie paused, thinking to himself, "The Duke's family has a very strict family tradition. The Duke and his wife treat all three children equally and never show favoritism. Liu Wentao and his two brothers have a particularly good relationship, and there have been no reports of discord. Children born into such a family should be quite good!"

After a while, Su Lie spoke up: "Brother Liu, I still have a daughter who is not yet betrothed."

Upon hearing this, the three brothers, Liu Wentao, Liu Mingtao, and Liu Yu, immediately became interested.

Liu Yaohui asked, "Brother Su, which young lady from the Su family is it?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie said, "Brother Liu, that is my eldest daughter, Su Yun Chu. My younger daughter, Su Yun Yan, is already betrothed to Lu Chen Yi, the heir of the Lu family."

After hearing this, Liu Yaohui asked, "Brother Su, is your Miss Su the granddaughter of General Shen?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie replied, "Yes! Her mother is Shen Yurou, the only daughter of General Shen."

After listening, Liu Yaohui fell into deep thought.

Shen Yurou was once a stunning beauty. Unlike other ordinary women who were pretentious, she was kind-hearted and a remarkable woman who dared to take responsibility.

One day, by chance, he met Shen Yurou. She was riding a horse, looking so dashing and heroic! Suddenly, her veil was blown away by the wind and landed right in his hands.

While he was still in a daze, Shen Yurou walked up to him, waved her hand, and said softly, "Young master, may I have my veil back?"

Liu Yaohui paused, then said awkwardly, "Miss, I'm sorry!"

Then, Liu Yaohui awkwardly reached out and handed the veil to Shen Yurou.

Only then did he realize how beautiful and dashing the woman in front of him was, and he was inexplicably captivated by her, so much so that he forgot to ask her name.

Later, he learned through inquiries that she was Shen Yurou, the only daughter of General Shen.

When he finally mustered the courage to confess his feelings, he heard that Miss Shen already had someone she loved and was getting together with Su Lie, the eldest son of the Su family, and they were about to get married.

He was depressed for quite a while because of this.

Later, he married under the arrangement of his father, the old Duke. He had no feelings for the woman and was merely fulfilling his duties as a husband.

Just as he was lost in thought, Liu Wentao nudged him, and he hurriedly said awkwardly, "Brother Su, I'm sorry! I just suddenly thought of an old friend."

After listening, Su Lie asked in a low voice, "Brother Liu, that old friend must be someone special to you, right?"

Liu Yaohui paused for a moment, then said, "Brother Su, it's better not to say anything, it's better not to say anything! Miss Su is just like Shen Xiao back then... just as dazzling!"

Su Lie wasn't oblivious to the meaning behind Liu Yaohui's words, and said in a deep voice, "Yes!"

Just then, Liu Wentao said in a low voice, "Uncle Su, ever since I met Miss Su at Princess Mingyue's poetry gathering, I have fallen deeply in love with her. I hope Uncle Su can grant me my sincere wish."

Liu Mingtao and Liu Yu said in unison, "Uncle Su, it's the same for us. We hope you can grant our sincere request."

Upon hearing this, Su Lie was taken aback and asked in confusion, "So, my dear nephew, you all like our Yun Chu?"

The three brothers, Liu Wentao, Liu Mingtao, and Liu Yu, said in unison, "Yes! We hope that Uncle Su can grant our sincere request!"

After hearing this, Su Lie shook his head and said, "But you have three brothers, while I only have one daughter."

After hearing this, the three Liu brothers said in unison again, "Uncle Su, no matter which of us three brothers Miss Su chooses, the other two of us will not have any objections. Even if Miss Su does not choose us three brothers, we will respect Miss Su's choice."

Upon hearing this, Su Lie thought to himself, "Indeed, this is a family with excellent traditions. Only a young master from such a family is worthy of my precious daughter, Yun Chu!"

Su Lie paused for a moment and said, "Nephew, let me think about it carefully! I need to ask Yun Chu what she thinks, after all, it's best if she's willing."

After hearing this, the three brothers, Liu Wentao, Liu Mingtao, and Liu Yu, said nothing.

Liu Yaohui said at the right moment, "Yes! Brother Su, we won't bother you any longer, we'll head back now!"

Su Lie personally saw Liu Yaohui and his group off until they boarded their carriage and left.
