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

After the expeditionary force disappeared from sight, Su Yun Chu and Xi'er entered the city. A while later, Su Yun Chu and Xi'er returned to the Su residence.

Su Yun Chu passed by Su Lie's study and found him sitting at his desk in a daze, not even eating the food that had been brought to him, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing this, Su Yun Chu gently knocked on the door and asked in a low voice, "Father, why haven't you eaten yet? May I come in?"

"Chu'er, you're back after seeing your brother off?" Su Lie said in a low voice. "Come in and have some lunch with your father!"

After hearing this, Su Yun Chu gently pushed open the door and slowly walked in. Su Lie looked at Su Yun Chu and gestured for her to sit down and have lunch as well.

Seeing this, Su Yun Chu nodded slightly and sat down next to Su Lie. After lunch, Su Yun Chu chatted with Su Lie for a while before returning to Xia Guang Courtyard.

She was very worried about her brother Su Nanxuan and cousin Shen Tianyi, who were away on a military expedition. She wondered what they were doing and how they were doing.

Night fell quickly, and the army on its way to battle passed through a secluded grove of trees. Shen Shi suggested that they rest there for a while before continuing their journey.

Shen Tianyi took out the amulet that Su Yun Chu had given him, and smiled as he looked at it. It seemed that his cousin Yun Chu wasn't indifferent to him after all.

Seeing this, Su Nanxuan looked at Shen Tianyi and shook his head helplessly.

Immediately, Su Nanxuan took out the dry rations prepared by his father, Su Lie, and began to eat. Seeing this, Shen Tianyi reached out and asked Su Nanxuan if he wanted some food.

After hearing this, Su Nanxuan reluctantly gave Shen Tianyi some of the dry rations he had brought. After everyone finished eating, they rested for a short while before preparing to continue their journey.

After a long journey of three days and three nights, they finally arrived at a suitable place to set up camp. As night deepened, the soldiers sat together and simply set up a temporary camp.

Shen Tianyi looked up at the starry sky, took out the peace charm given to him by Su Yun Chu, and examined it carefully.

Seeing this, Su Nanxuan laughed and teased, "Tianyi, look how much you've scrutinized this peace charm! Do you like the peace charm itself, or the person who gave it to you?"

"Nanxuan, that's not true." Shen Tianyi's eyes reddened. "Don't talk nonsense!"

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a sudden commotion came from afar. Su Nanxuan immediately became alert and signaled everyone to stay vigilant.

Several dark figures could be vaguely seen flickering in the woods ahead. The soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, watching their surroundings nervously.

"Something's up!" Su Nanxuan said in a low voice. "Everyone be careful, there might be enemies lying in ambush nearby."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became alert. At this moment, a dark figure emerged from the woods, looked at Su Nanxuan, and whispered, "Brother, it's me."

"Little sister, how could it be you?" Su Nanxuan was stunned when he saw you. "Didn't I tell you not to come? Why did you come along? Why don't you go back right now?"

Shen Tianyi thought he was dreaming. Just then, he thought of his cousin Yun Chu, and there she was, right in front of him.

"Cousin Yun Chu, why did you come along too?" After hearing this, Su Yun Chu looked at Su Nan Xuan and Shen Tian Yi and said in a low voice, "Brother, Cousin Tian Yi, you were in a hurry when you left."

"I forgot to send you weapons, so I'm bringing them to you now," Su Yun Chu said, taking out the weapons she had prepared.

Seeing this, Su Nanxuan asked in confusion, "Sister, what kind of weapon is this? We've never seen anything like it before."

Upon hearing this, Shen Tianyi chimed in, "Yes! Cousin Yun Chu, this weapon is truly strange; it's unlike any weapon we've ever seen before!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun Chu didn't know how to explain the origin of this weapon, so she could only awkwardly smile and say, "Brother, Cousin Tianyi, I made this by accident."

After speaking, Su Yun Chu demonstrated how to use the weapons to Su Nan Xuan and Shen Tian Yi. Upon seeing this, Su Nan Xuan and Shen Tian Yi glanced at Su Yun Chu and nodded with slight smiles.

"Little sister, now that you've delivered the weapon," Su Nanxuan said somewhat fearfully, "you should go back now, and be careful on the road!"

After hearing this, Su Yun looked at Su Nanxuan and said in a low voice, "Brother, I promise I won't hold you back. Please take me with you, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Tianyi chimed in, "Nanxuan, it wouldn't be safe for Cousin Yun Chu to go back alone, she's a young girl. Why don't we take her with us?"

Just as Su Nanxuan was about to speak, Shen Shi walked over, looked at Su Yun Chu, and asked in a low voice, "Chu'er, does your father know you're here?"

After hearing this, Su Yunchu looked at Shen Shi and shook her head. "Sixth Uncle, I followed him here secretly. I didn't dare let my father know."

After hearing this, Shen Shi looked at Su Yun Chu, shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "Chu'er, then your sixth uncle can't take you. Otherwise, how will your sixth uncle explain to your father?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake, and dared not speak again.

Shen Tianyi naturally hoped that Su Yun Chu would stay. He looked at Shen Shi and said in a low voice, "Sixth Uncle, I will take responsibility for protecting Cousin Yun Chu's safety. Why don't you take Cousin Yun Chu with you?"

"Tianyi, you're here to protect me? What are you going to do to protect me?" Shen Shi said coldly. "We're going to fight a war, not to play. Swords have no eyes, and it's not safe for a young girl like me."

After hearing this, Shen Tianyi wanted to try again, "Sixth Uncle, I will definitely protect Cousin Yun Chu and won't let her get hurt."

After hearing this, Shen Shi looked at Shen Tianyi and said coldly, "Tianyi, there's no room for discussion on this matter. Don't say another word!"

After Shen Shi finished speaking, he turned to look at Su Yun Chu gently and said softly, "Chu'er, you should go back! If something happens to you, how will your sixth uncle explain it to your father?"

"Alright then, Sixth Uncle, I'll head back now," Su Yun Chu said helplessly. "You all must remember to return safely!"

After listening, Shen Shi looked at Su Yun Chu and nodded in satisfaction. Then, Shen Shi instructed his attendants to escort Su Yun Chu safely back to the Su residence.

Su Yun Chu glanced at Su Nan Xuan and Shen Tian Yi, then reluctantly followed her attendants away. Shen Tian Yi watched Su Yun Chu's departing figure, his heart filled with disappointment.

Seeing this, Su Nanxuan patted Shen Tianyi on the shoulder, "Tianyi, don't be sad! We need to cheer up and prepare for the battle ahead."

After hearing this, Shen Tianyi looked at Su Nanxuan, nodded, composed himself, and joined Su Nanxuan in the intense preparations for the battle.
