Kui Wu grabbed Fuqiu's arm and said, "Fuqiu, I...I'm not very good at speaking, but what I just said was the truth."

Fuqiu was stunned for a while and asked, "Why?"

Kui Wu said, "Ever since you risked your own life to block the knife for the eldest young master's wife, I've admired your courage. I even secretly swore that even if your face couldn't be healed, I would marry you if you didn't despise me. But later, your face was healed by the young lady, and I was afraid you would despise me, so I never dared to say it..."

Fuqiu was a little confused. After hearing this, she murmured, "Wait, let me slow down. I don't want to hear you say this now."

Kui Wu said, "Okay, I won't tell you, but I will always wait for you." Then he let go of Fuqiu's arm.

Fuqiu turned and ran.

Kuiwu wanted to catch up, but then he thought of something and finally didn't catch up.

He knew that he was not good-looking, and Fuqiu was so beautiful, how could she like him? The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became.

"Are you giving up already? As the saying goes, a strong woman fears a clinging man. You've lost confidence just at the beginning? Fuqiu hasn't rejected you yet, so you still have a chance."

Kuiwu looked at Qibao and said, "Miss, are you serious?"

Qibao nodded. She was quite optimistic about Kuiwu and Fuqiu. Kuiwu was a simple and honest man, and he was also a martial artist. Not only could he protect Fuqiu in the future, but the two of them would also be by her side and would not need to be separated.

Kui Wu nodded and said, "Okay, as long as Fuqiu doesn't refuse, I won't give up!"

…

As for Cui Cancan, Wei Dong drove on a horse-drawn carriage for about half a month before arriving at the foot of the capital.

Since the eldest prince's wedding is about half a month away, the soldiers guarding the city gates are checking more strictly than usual.

When Wei Dong drove the carriage to the city gate, he was stopped by two soldiers at the gate.

"Deputy General Wei, this is a routine inspection. We need to check if there are any contraband items in the carriage. Please forgive us, Deputy General."

Wei Dong said, "Of course you can. Just check it out. Just don't scare the people in the carriage."

Fortunately, these two soldiers knew Wei Dong and spoke in a polite tone. Seeing Wei Dong nod, one soldier lifted the curtain and saw a girl sitting inside. He was a little surprised. Could it be that Deputy General Wei was taking advantage of a young girl?

The girl looked to be about 28 years old, so it would be wrong to call her a daughter. Although they were not from the same military camp, they had heard that Deputy General Wei was still a bachelor. How could he have such a big daughter? Moreover, with Wei Dong's appearance, he couldn't have given birth to such a beautiful daughter.

Although he had all sorts of guesses in his mind, that was their private matter. He checked the contents of the carriage and saw that everything was normal. Then he said, "Alright, Lieutenant General Wei, you can enter the city."

Wei Dong politely clasped his fists towards the two of them, then sat back on the carriage and drove towards the general's mansion.

After hurrying, they finally stopped at the gate of the general's mansion.

Wei Dong jumped off the carriage, opened the curtain, and said, "Cancan girl, we're home."

Cui Cancan got off the carriage and looked at the familiar gate, feeling a little touched. She was back, but she was no longer the same person.

At this moment, the soldier guarding the entrance to the General's Mansion saw Wei Dong and immediately stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Deputy General!"

"Is the general at home?" Wei Dong asked.

"The general has not returned from the palace yet." said a soldier.

Wei Dong handed the horse reins to one of them and asked him to take all the things out of the carriage, then took Cui Cancan into the gate of the general's mansion.

Watching the two walk away, the soldier scratched his head and muttered, "Why did the deputy general bring a girl back? Didn't he say he was going to pick up the young lady?"

Wei Dong said, "Cancan girl, you must be tired after driving the carriage for so long. Go back to the house and rest for a while."

Cui Cancan nodded and said, "Uncle Dong also needs to have a good rest."

Wei Dong responded with a smile.

Looking at Cui Cancan's slender back as she walked away, he still felt as if he were in a dream, and murmured, "I'm afraid this girl must have suffered a lot!"

Fuqiu returned to her yard and as soon as she entered the door, she saw her maid cleaning the room.

"Chun Tao, I'm back!"

Chuntao was still wiping the table intently when she heard someone calling her name. She looked up and saw a young girl at the door wearing a white cloak with white rabbit fur edges, like a cool white lotus standing in the middle of the water.

"Who are you?" Chuntao put down what she was holding and asked in confusion.

"Don't you even recognize the young lady?" Cui Cancan said with a faint smile.

"Miss...?" Chuntao ran to Cui Cancan and looked at her carefully.

Suddenly she said in surprise: "Miss, it's really Miss, how come you have changed so much? I can't recognize you!"

Cui Cancan said: "I just came back, I want to take a shower and change clothes."

"Yes, Miss!" Chuntao responded happily. Although she really wanted to know why the Miss had changed so much, the Miss didn't say anything, so she didn't dare to ask more.

After Cui Cancan finished taking a shower and changed into the clean clothes she brought back from Xujia Village, she heard Chuntao say that her father was back.

Cui Cancan lifted her skirt and ran towards the front hall. She hadn't seen her father for a long time. This was the first time she had been away from her father for so long since she grew up.

"Dad!" Cui Cancan stepped into the front hall and saw her father sitting on a chair with his eyebrows pinched.

General Cui heard the familiar voice calling out, and he raised his head. He looked at the graceful girl before him, and was stunned for a moment. His lips trembled as he uttered two words...

"Xueying?"

"Dad, I miss you so much!" Cui Cancan threw herself into Cui Yanshan's arms.

Cui Yanshan finally came to his senses and asked in disbelief, "Cancan? You are Cancan?"

"Dad, I'm Cancan!" Cui Cancan said with red eyes.

Cui Yanshan lifted up his daughter in his arms, staring at the face in front of him without blinking, and said in a trembling voice: "Cancan, it's my Cancan."

"Dad!" Cui Cancan called out again with tears in her eyes and smiled, then threw herself into her father's arms.

"Cancan, why...why have you lost so much weight? What have you been through? Did you suffer outside?" Cui Yanshan asked nervously.

"Dad, everything is fine with my daughter. She hasn't suffered any hardship. On the contrary, she has been very happy and content during this period of time," said Cui Cancan.

"Then tell me, why have you lost so much weight? Are you feeling well? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Cui Yanshan asked.

"Dad, I don't want to live the same life as before. This time, I went out and met my destined benefactor. The reason why I have changed so much is because of her. Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with my body. On the contrary, I feel very relaxed." Cui Cancan said.

"That's good, that's good! Dad just mistook you for your mother. Now that you've lost weight, you look 70% similar to your mother." Cui Yanshan sighed.

Cui Cancan didn't say anything. Her mother passed away early, so she had almost no influence on her mother.
