"The Prime Minister is becoming more and more flamboyant, relying on his status as the emperor's father-in-law. He is secretly forming cliques in the court. Anyone with a discerning eye can see what he is trying to do. Even if the emperor is unhappy, he has to be more tolerant because of the ancestral teachings." said Old Master Su.

"My Rou'er passed away early, leaving Chen'er to live in a place like the imperial palace. If it weren't for the empress dowager's care, I'm afraid even I, her grandson..." Old lady Su wiped her tears.

Everyone in the Su family fell silent for a moment.

"Okay, Mom, don't cry, Cancan is still here!" Su Zian comforted.

"Grandpa, I was the one who beat the man. If that old prime minister reports it to the emperor, we are in the right. We are not afraid of what he might do!" Su Chenyu said.

"Grandpa Su, this is all my fault. If it weren't for me, Brother Yu wouldn't have hit Lan Jie." Cui Cancan said with some guilt.

"Child, this is not your fault!" Grandpa Su comforted.

"Master, General Lan is here." The butler outside the door reported.

"Please invite General Lan in."

Soon, a man who was eight feet tall and had a strong build walked in.

"Hello, Mr. Su, I'm here to take Cancan back home."

The old man said, "General Cui, please take a seat."

General Cui waved his hand and said, "No need. I already know what happened today. Old man, although I did make a somewhat unfair bet, my daughter Cancan shouldn't have liked Young Master Su. I love my daughter dearly, but I don't want outsiders to insult her because of this matter, so this bet is over! I also thank Young Master Su for his help today."

"Dad!" Cui Cancan became a little anxious after hearing what her father said.

"Cancan, come back with Dad. Tomorrow I will go and ask the Emperor to let us return to the southwest. You have suffered so much injustice since you returned to the capital. Dad is also feeling bad."

"General Su, I know Cancan has suffered a lot of grievances. This matter has been widely circulated and it is not good for Cancan's reputation. Don't worry, I keep my word." said Grandpa Su.

"Grandpa!" Su Chenyu shouted.

"Chenyu, General Cui's father has done a favor to grandpa..." said Grandpa Su.

Except for Madam Su, everyone else looked at each other in confusion.

General Cui said, "I see. I just returned to the capital and held a banquet. Mr. Su was so generous as to come in person and was so kind to me. Is this the reason?"

Old Master Su sighed and said, "It's not convenient to say more about this matter. It's about the late emperor's succession, and it can't be spread outside. But it's a fact that I've done you a favor."

The others heard this and didn't ask any more questions.

"Uncle Cui, I am rude. I have no interest in your daughter. Please choose another good husband for her. I will never forget the kindness that the Cui family has shown to my Su family. I will repay them on behalf of my grandfather if I have the chance." Su Chenyu felt that he could not take off his clothes at this time and he had to make it clear as soon as possible.

"Chenyu! What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Zian scolded.

"Okay! I'll remember what Master Su said! Cancan! Come back with daddy, and stop wishful thinking. Daddy will find you a husband who is a hundred times better than Su Chenyu!" General Cui said in a deep voice.

Cui Cancan burst into tears and sobbed, "Dad, I only like Brother Yu..."

Su's mother took a handkerchief and wiped her tears, saying, "Cancan, don't be sad. You just came back, and Chenyu doesn't know you yet. When you spend more time together and he knows your strengths, he will naturally change towards you."

"Really? Aunt Yun?" Cui Cancan raised her tearful eyes and looked at Su's mother.

"Fake!" Su Chenyu interrupted.

"Hmph! Mr. Su, we father and daughter will not disturb you any more. We will go back first!" General Cui said to Mr. Su, clasping his fists.

After saying that, he walked up to Cui Cancan, grabbed her and walked out the door. Cui Cancan kept looking back.

After going out, he took his daughter and sat in the same carriage.

General Cui sighed and said earnestly, "Cancan, why did you have to choose Su Chenyu? I don't think he's a good guy. He's very cunning and looks like a pretty boy. Tomorrow I'll find you someone more manly than him among my subordinates. I remember Da Kui is a good guy. He's interested in you!"

"Dad, when I was a kid, Brother Yu always helped me and often played with me when I was bullied. In my heart, Brother Yu is the best person. You can't say that to him." Cui Cancan choked.

"But he is not interested in you. It will damage your reputation if a girl likes you and goes to find that boy! I know you like him, and dad has tried to get him for you, but the boy doesn't want to. Let's just forget it!" said General Su.

"Dad..." Cui Cancan felt even more aggrieved after hearing what her father said, but she really liked Brother Yu very much. It must be because she was dark and fat that Brother Yu didn't like her. She decided to lose weight.

Sure enough, in the court the next day.

"Your Majesty, please help me! He's my only legitimate grandson, and I usually wouldn't even touch him at home. But yesterday, Young Master Su beat him up on the street, leaving him covered in wounds!"

Ye Fenglan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had also heard about this matter, but he was also familiar with Lan Jie's character, so he pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Master, is this true?"

Old Master Su said, "Your Majesty, I have a complaint about the Prime Minister's words. It was clearly his grandson who insulted and ridiculed General Cui's daughter in the street. Chen Yu only took action because he couldn't stand it. I hope Your Majesty will investigate."

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"General Cui, please speak."

"Your Majesty, my daughter and I have been back to the capital for a month. Because she has grown a little fat, the young men and women from prominent families in the capital often laugh at her. Young Master Lan openly bullies her in the street. Although my status is not as high as that of the Prime Minister, as a father, how can I bear to hear others say such things about my daughter! It is thanks to Young Master Su who stepped in to help my daughter get justice." General Cui spoke passionately.

Without giving Prime Minister Lan a chance to speak, Old Master Su said, "Your Majesty, General Cui has been defending the borders of our Dragon Soul Nation in the southwest, repelling countless bandits who attempted to invade our territory. Now that he has returned to the Emperor's feet, he is being treated so unfairly. How can this not chill General Cui and his daughter's hearts? The very people they protect are speaking so harshly to them. Your Majesty, you must make a decision for General Cui!"

"Master Su! What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just talking about your grandson injuring my grandson. Don't go off on a tangent!" Prime Minister Lan said angrily.

"Prime Minister, I think you know better than me what caused this. All the ministers standing here know what kind of person your grandson is. If it weren't for the Prime Minister cleaning up his mess, this kid would have been chopped to pieces eight hundred times sooner or later!" said Old Master Su.

"you!"

"Alright, Lan Jie has indeed gone too far in this matter. We cannot let General Cui's daughter suffer such a great injustice in vain. Tomorrow, I will have Lan Jie personally bring gifts to the General's Mansion and apologize to Miss Cui. If you dare to disobey, I will not forgive you easily."

"Yes! I obey your command!" Prime Minister Lan was so angry that he was gasping for breath, but he could only endure it.

None of the ministers dared to speak. The Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor were both top officials in the court, and they could not offend them easily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking charge of my daughter. I am deeply grateful."

What happened in the court soon spread throughout the capital, and those who talked about Cui Cancan no longer dared to say anything casually. After all, the prime minister's grandson had been punished by the emperor, so what could they do?
