After a long while, Cui Cancan stood up from her father's arms and said, "Dad, your daughter hasn't been with you for a while. Are you feeling well? Have you been eating on time?"
Cui Yanshan hadn't heard his daughter's words of concern for him for a long time. His heart softened as he said, "Yes, Daddy cherishes his body very much. Daddy wants to stay with my precious daughter for a while longer, to see you get married and have children, and live a happy life."
Cui Cancan's face flushed slightly. She hugged Cui Yanshan's arm and said, "My daughter wants to accompany Dad for the rest of her life. She is not a family member! If I get married, Dad will be left alone in the general's mansion. I can't bear to leave him."
Cui Yanshan touched Cui Cancan's head and said with a smile, "What girl wouldn't marry? Besides, my daughter is so beautiful now, why would I worry about not finding a good family?"
Cui Cancan smiled, as if he had thought of something, and the smile on his face faded a little. He said, "Dad, I said that when I come back, it will be time to cancel my engagement with Brother Chenyu."
When Cui Yanshan heard Su Chenyu's name, he snorted coldly and said, "It would be best if he was freed. That kid is full of evil intentions. Cancan, I will choose a man who treats you wholeheartedly to be your husband. If that doesn't work, I will find you a live-in son-in-law from among my soldiers. With me here, he will never dare to bully you!"
Cui Cancan stamped his feet and said angrily, "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Seeing Cui Cancan acting like a little girl, Cui Yanshan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, okay, Dad won't say anything! Then, Cancan, when are you going to cancel the engagement?"
Cui Cancan felt a little bitter inside, but said calmly: "The sooner the better!"
She thought that Brother Chenyu would be very happy about it. In this case, she might as well let him go and let herself go at the same time. A forced melon is not sweet.
Cui Yanshan nodded and sighed, "It's all Dad's fault. I shouldn't have forced you to get together just because of your watermelon. You've suffered so much because of it."
Cui Cancan shook his head and said, "Dad, you're right. I was stubborn at first, but now I've come to my senses. Let's not talk about this anymore, Dad. The clothes in my room are no longer wearable, so I want to buy some new clothes that fit me."
Cui Yanshan laughed and said, "Buy! My precious daughter can buy as many clothes as she wants. Even if I have to sell the General's Mansion, I will still fulfill your wish. My daughter, Cui Yanshan, deserves the best!"
Cui Cancan smiled particularly brightly. This was all because of her father. She felt so ignorant in the past and made her father worry so much about her. It was really wrong.
Cui Yanshan looked at his daughter with a sweet smile and felt emotional. He felt that his daughter had changed a lot. She was completely different from her current confident and proud appearance.
He still had doubts in his heart, wondering what kind of person would make his daughter become like this. If he met this person one day, he would definitely thank him in person.
Everyone in the general's mansion, from the maids to the servants, knew that Cui Cancan had returned, and they all talked about it in low voices.
"I heard that the eldest lady is back, and I heard Chuntao, who is beside the eldest lady, say that the young lady has changed a lot this time and has become very beautiful."
"Beautiful? Can't it be? Everyone knows that our eldest daughter is fat. The young ladies and masters in the capital like to make fun of her. Even when we servants leave the house, there will be people talking behind our backs, saying that our eldest daughter is ugly and likes to dream, thinking about Young Master Su. Sigh..."
"This time it's different. Chuntao said that the young lady has lost weight and become slimmer. The general is very happy. I heard that the young lady will have the final say on the expenses of the general's mansion from now on. She can buy whatever she wants..."
"Ah? No way? With the young lady's weak personality, can she really manage the general's mansion?"
"You know that the general treats the young lady like his lifeblood. This is just a small matter. Let's just do our own thing."
"But I haven't seen the eldest lady since she came back yet. I don't know if she has really changed a lot as Miss Chuntao said."
The two servants were chatting while doing their work.
"What are you two talking about? Do you usually talk about the master like this behind his back?"
A female voice scolded.
The two servants were startled and turned around quickly, only to see Chuntao looking at them with her hands on her waist, and a graceful and beautiful woman standing next to her.
"Miss Chuntao, I won't dare to do that again next time. We were just happy to hear you say that the young lady is back."
"Yes, yes, Miss Chuntao, we didn't say anything bad about the eldest lady."
The two servants explained hurriedly, looking a little embarrassed.
Chun Tao asked, "When did I tell you?"
One of the servants scratched his head and said awkwardly, "No... I just heard it from someone else. They said it was you who said it."
"Okay, Chuntao, they are right, so don't make things difficult for them." Cui Cancan said lightly.
"Yes, miss." Chuntao glared at the two of them.
"You two, as I just told you, my father has handed over the official power to me. From now on, I will have the final say in the general's mansion. If I hear you talking about the master behind his back again, I will never let you off easily." Cui Cancan said to the two servants.
At this time, the two servants were already stunned. They looked at Cui Cancan with a serious face and couldn't say anything for a long time.
"You, you, you! Are you the eldest lady?" One of the servants stretched out a finger, pointed at Cui Cancan tremblingly and asked with wide eyes.
"How dare you! Who allowed you to point at the master and talk to her? This is the eldest lady, open your eyes and take a good look!" Chun Tao shouted.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was so surprised that I didn't recognize you, young lady. I never dreamed that you would become like a fairy. Please forgive me, young lady!" The servant knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Remember, just do your part." Cui Cancan said, turned around and left.
The kneeling servant was still standing there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
The servant next to him was in a similar situation, staring at Cui Cancan's back as he left, his expression also a little dull.
"This...is this really the young lady?"
"It should be true. The voice hasn't changed. Besides, Miss Chuntao is here too. It can't be fake."
"My goodness, how come the young lady has changed so much? She's so beautiful. I can't connect the young lady before with the young lady now. They are simply two different people."
"I think the young lady has changed not only in appearance but also in her entire personality. The tone of her voice just now really had the aura of a great general."
"Yes, this young lady is really different from before."
…
"Chun Tao, come with me to go shopping and buy some things." Cui Cancan said.
Chun Tao said with a smile: "Okay, Miss, do you want to wash and dress up?"
Cui Cancan said: "Just help me comb my hair into a simple bun."
Chun Tao asked in confusion, "Why, Miss? You are so beautiful now. If you dress up more carefully, you will definitely be very beautiful."
Cui Cancan said: "I'm used to it, just do as I say."
"Yes, miss."
