"Then who are your friends? How can you be sure they have no other intentions? Cancan has never been alone outside for such a long time. Don't blame me for being suspicious. Cancan doesn't have much contact with outsiders and has a relatively simple mind. As a father, it is inevitable that I am anxious." Cui Yanshan said.

Su Chenyu said, "Uncle Cui, my cousin and I are just ordinary friends. If General Cui is really worried, he can send someone to bring Miss Cui back. My friend will take care of her food and shelter. If he is still suspected of having other intentions in the end, it would be too unfair."

"You little bastard! How do you talk to your Uncle Cui like that?" the old man scolded.

Su Yanshan was silent for a long time, then said, "I was overthinking it. Since he's the Third Prince's friend, I naturally believe him."

Old Master Su said with a smile: "Yanshan, if you want to blame someone, blame this brat. He is not thoughtful in his actions. Don't be angry. Although this brat sometimes speaks and acts without thinking, he will not do anything without confidence.

Since Cancan doesn't want to come back now, let her relax outside. If you are really worried, send two of your men to protect her safety."

Cui Yanshan sighed and said, "Grandmaster, Cancan doesn't want to stay in the capital because she's often ridiculed and bullied by others. Perhaps this is her own decision, but I have responsibilities now and dare not disobey the emperor's orders. Otherwise, I would take Cancan away from the capital, leave this imperial capital that makes her feel embarrassed, and live the life of an ordinary person."

Imperial Tutor Su also sighed and said, "I know you love your daughter deeply, but you have no choice now. Perhaps it would be a relief for Cancan to leave the capital temporarily. Once she understands her situation, she might be willing to come back."

Cui Yanshan's eyes were filled with worry. He stared at the envelope in his hand, stroked it with his hand, and then put it in his arms.

Everyone present could see that this was a father's heartache, pity and helplessness towards his daughter, so no one said a word to interrupt, and the whole room fell silent in an instant.

After a while, Cui Yanshan calmed down, took a deep breath, and said, "Forget it, forget it. Let the child go. When she figures it out, she will definitely come back. After all, she has relied on me since she was a child. She will definitely not be willing to leave her father for too long. She will definitely come back soon."

Seeing this, Su Chenyu comforted her and said, "Uncle Cui, if you miss Miss Cui, you can write a letter to her and I will send someone to deliver it for you."

Cui Yanshan looked at Su Chenyu and said, "Thank you, Mr. Su, but don't bother me. Just tell me where Cancan is, and I won't bother you with the rest. Since she has decided not to bother you anymore, you are not allowed to have anything to do with Cancan anymore. Can you do that?"

Su Chenyu immediately affirmed: "Yes!"

Are you kidding! I finally got rid of that fat girl, how could I possibly want to have anything to do with her again!

Seeing Su Chenyu agreed so readily, Cui Yanshan felt unbalanced and felt that it was not worth it for his daughter. He was suffocated for a moment, snorted coldly, and shook his sleeves and said, "Master, if that's the case, I'll go back first. I'll come visit you next time when I have time."

Old Master Su said, "Yanshan, why don't you stay for lunch before leaving? How about having a couple of drinks with me?"

Cui Yanshan said, "Taifu, I have to go to the training camp outside the city this afternoon, so I won't be able to drink. When I have time, I will come over and have a drink with you."

Hearing this, Old Master Su didn't want to keep him there any longer. "In that case, let's get down to business. But don't go back on your word! I'm waiting for you to come drink with me!"

Cui Yanshan clasped his fists and said, "Sure!"

After saying this, he bowed to Jing Chen and said, "Third Prince, I will take my leave."

Jingchen nodded slightly.

Old Master Su sent the person to the door, watched Cui Yanshan walk away, sighed, and looked at Su Chenyu with a happy look on her face, and suddenly became angry.

"You little brat, your Uncle Cui must be feeling uncomfortable right now. Tell me, what's wrong with you, Cancan, besides being a little plump? And you're also a considerate and kind girl!"

Su Chenyu said: "Grandpa, I've already said that I don't like her. Can you please not force me to marry her?"

The old man said, "No one is forcing you to marry Cancan now, but you will be eighteen after the New Year. You can't still be unwilling to get married, right?"

Su Chenyu said, "Grandpa, you have to meet a girl I like, right? Otherwise, getting married would be so boring."

Madam Su said, "There are so many young ladies from prominent families in the capital. Can you really find one you like?"

Su Chenyu said with disdain: "These girls are so pretentious, squeamish, and act like white lotus flowers. I like girls who are genuine and not pretentious."

Madam Su shook her head helplessly and said, "You, you should ask your parents to come back and teach you a lesson. Your grandfather and I are old and can't control you anymore."

Su Chenyu immediately stepped forward, hugged Master Su's arm, and said, "Grandma, can you please not tell my parents about this for now?"

Elder Su asked, "What are you talking about? Is it about Cancan wanting to break off the engagement with you?"

Su Chenyu smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandma, you know that my mother and Fatty's mother are close friends. If they knew about this, they would definitely think that I bullied Fatty and would probably pull my ears again."

Old Master Su snorted coldly and said, "Are you still afraid? Tell me the truth, Cancan is willing to break off the engagement. Did you force her to do that?"

Su Chenyu cried out in injustice, saying, "Grandpa, how is that possible? If I could force her, I wouldn't have to leave the capital to avoid her!"

Old Master Su asked, "Why did Cancan suddenly say she wanted to break off the engagement? Did she even abandon her dignity as a daughter for you and secretly follow you out of the capital?"

Su Chenyu scratched his head and said, "I don't know either. Maybe she figured it out herself!"

Old Master Su shook his head slightly. Although Cancan was timid and cowardly, she was still very determined. It was impossible for her to give up just like that unless she really figured it out.

Old Master Su didn't hesitate. He looked at Jing Chen, who remained calm, and said, "Chen'er, I have already reported the letter you wrote back to your father. I have already sent people to Xuanyang City to investigate the matter secretly. I believe we will find out the truth soon."

Jing Chen nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Grandfather."

Imperial Tutor Su waved his hand and said, "Why bother? It's just a trip to the palace! Oh, and the Empress has already chosen the daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion as the Crown Prince's consort, and the daughter of Censor Ma as a concubine. Her intentions are obvious. What are your plans?"

Jing Chen sneered and said, "That's a good plan! I don't want to get involved in their affairs!"

Old Master Su sighed and said, "Chen'er, have you ever thought about fighting for it? The Queen and her son used to make things difficult for you, but they relied on the fact that the eldest prince was the legitimate son and had priority in the succession, so they didn't make a move on you.

But he's constantly making moves in secret, often flattering you in front of your father. If he gains power in the future, your situation will be even more difficult!"
