"Okay, Daddy must try the food cooked by his daughter. It is really a blessing for Daddy to have such a good daughter like you in his life."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in his mouth, nodding as he ate.
"Mm, this tastes better than what the chef in my house makes. Delicious, delicious."
He picked up another piece of fish and put it in his mouth, praising it again:
"This fish tastes good too, fragrant but not fishy, the meat is tender and delicious."
Watching him praising her non-stop, Luo Lan knew that it was not because the dish was so delicious, but because he had found the cook after many years. So even if the dish she made was bland, her father would still praise it.
Luo Lan hurriedly asked the maid beside her to pour wine for her father and Leng Yu. Seeing this, A Cai hurried over with the wine pot and slowly filled the wine glass in front of Liu Dechang's table with wine.
After the wine was filled, Leng Yu raised his glass first and said seriously:
"Master Yue Zhang, Lan'er and I will definitely come to your Duke's Mansion frequently to eat and drink for free. I hope you won't bother us."
Hearing this, Liu Dechang instantly smiled. "Hahaha, how could it be annoying? I wish you could stay here all day. Now that you said so, you must do it. Otherwise, I will go to your Prince Yu's Mansion to eat and drink for free."
Hearing this, Leng Yu's mouth curled up slightly and he nodded heavily, "Before I didn't know you were Lan'er's father, I respected you very much. Now that I know you are Lan'er's father, you are also my father-in-law. From now on, Lan'er and I will definitely be filial to you."
After saying that, he drank the wine in his hand. Liu Dechang naturally laughed and said:
"Okay, with Yu'er's words, Dad is happy. Today, we two won't go home until we are drunk."
Having said this, he suddenly thought of something and said:
"No, I have the final say. You don't have to go home whether you're drunk or not. Lan'er's west wing is spacious. You can stay here tonight!"
Hearing this, Leng Yu blinked at Luo Lan, and a sly smile appeared on his face.
Luo Lan could only shake her head helplessly. She glanced at Ah Cai who was standing not far away with her head lowered, and suddenly said to Liu Dechang:
"Dad, I didn't finish what I was saying this afternoon. I think you must be lonely living alone for so long. Have you ever thought about finding me a stepmother?"
"Nonsense."
Liu Dechang suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand, frowned and roared,
"I just told you, before I had a daughter like you, I never thought about looking for a woman. Now that I have a good daughter like you, why would I look for a woman? Besides, your father is old and busy with military affairs. How can he care about a woman who whines all day long?"
Ah Cai's face was flushed just now, but when she heard this, it turned pale in an instant.
Luo Lan pursed his lips and said:
"Dad, I know you have feelings for my mother, and I also know that as a daughter, I should take care of you, but it's not good to have no woman around who cares about you. Besides, who says women like to whinge? Isn't it good to have a gentle woman by your side to serve you?"
"Stop talking."
Liu Dechang's face suddenly turned cold. Seeing this, Leng Yu gave her a confused look, signaling her not to continue.
Luo Lan quickly stuck out her tongue, grabbed the wine glass on the table and held it in front of Liu Dechang, saying mischievously:
"Dad, don't be angry. I was just joking with you. Come, let me toast you..."
Seeing this, a smile finally appeared on Liu Dechang's face. He picked up the wine glass and continued drinking.
But he didn't notice that Acai, who had just stood beside him, turned around and left with a somewhat lonely look.
Today, Leng Yu was drinking with her father, so Luo Lan was naturally happy to have some quiet time. She took the opportunity to run out while going to the toilet.
Because she was really worried about Acai. She saw that she was not in good condition just now, and she didn't know where this girl had gone.
Ah Hong, who was following behind him, pointed to the back garden and said softly:
"Princess, for some reason, Ah Cai just came out of the house and ran to the back garden. I want her to come back."
Luo Lan waved his hand, "No, I'll go, you go back and take care of the prince and the duke."
After she finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and walked towards the back garden.
After arriving at the back garden, she looked around and finally saw Ah Cai in a corner behind the rockery. She was sitting there with her head buried in her knees, not moving.
"Acai..."
She called out softly. Ah Cai heard the sound and hurriedly stood up. She wiped her face with her sleeve and hurriedly replied, "Princess, are you looking for me?"
Luo Lan walked slowly to her side and nodded gently.
"What are you doing here?"
Although Acai lowered her head at this time, Luo Lan could still see that she seemed to have cried.
Ah Cai hurriedly replied:
"No...nothing, I...I'm a little hot. Let me cool down here for a while. I'll be back soon."
"Acai..."
Luo Lan called out to the flustered A Cai and continued:
"I know you're a little sad to hear what my father said, but you should have known this would happen. My father is not an ordinary man. He's neither greedy nor lustful. If he were, he wouldn't have lived alone for so many years. So, don't take this matter too seriously, and don't be too sad. After all, you're still young and have a long way to go. Don't dwell on one thing, okay?"
"I see."
Ah Cai pursed her lips and nodded heavily. "Ah Cai has no other thoughts. As long as I can be with the princess often and see General Liu occasionally, I will be satisfied."
