Hearing this, Luo Lan stepped forward again to help her up and said softly:

"Ah Cai, you got up to speak. I don't mean to blame you. I just remind you that you are still young and don't understand some things. Don't confuse admiration with feelings, okay?"

A Cai slowly stood up from the ground with Luo Lan's support. She bit her lips tightly and nodded vigorously.

"I know……"

Ah Cai looked extremely lonely. Luo Lan patted her shoulder and whispered:

"Acai, you have to remember that admiration and love are two different things. You admire a person because you admire what this person does. You can't think of it as love, you know?"

"I know……"

Ah Cai lowered his head and repeated these three words again.

But Luo Lan felt that she didn't understand because her eyes were dodging.

Since she didn't understand, then weren't her words in vain?

So, she frowned and continued:

"A Cai, my father is the Protector of the Country and a general on the battlefield, but he is already forty-five years old this year, and you are only eighteen years old. The age difference is not even a little bit, so I want to remind you that you are right

I can understand his admiration, but don't think that you are passionate about him, it's not the same thing at all."

Hearing what she said, Ah Cai's eyes suddenly turned red. She raised her head and looked at Luo Lan, blushed and pursed her lips, nodding.

"Princess, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't be tempted by the Duke of the Kingdom. I just... just think it's really rare that he can stick to his wife for more than ten years, so... that's why I shouldn't

If you have any thoughts, please punish me, Princess."

Seeing that she finally admitted, Luo Lan pursed her lips and smiled helplessly, then patted her on the shoulder and comforted her softly:

"I don't mean to blame you, I just want to remind you that my father and you are almost thirty years apart. In other words, when he was thirty years old and went to war, you were just born. How can you be together?

"

"I do not care."

Ah Cai suddenly straightened her expression and said seriously:

"Although the Duke is older than me, I don't care. I like him. I think he is a unique good man in the world. I don't dare to hide this from you. Now I just want to think of him bravely killing the enemy on the battlefield. I

I can’t sleep.”

A Cai's words really surprised Luo Lan. She clearly admired her, so why did she think it was love?

She could only sigh and said again:

"My father has not married for many years, and naturally he has his own reasons. Even if you are attracted to him, I don't think there will be any results. It's better to just choose the guards around the prince, whichever one you like,

I'll make the decision for you."

A Cai shook her head and interrupted her decisively,

"My slave doesn't like young and energetic men."

this……

This really left people speechless. Luo Lan knew that this girl A Cai had always been carefree and informal. This time she could be tempted by her father, which was really something she didn't expect.

She suddenly felt that she didn't know what to do. Her girl actually fell in love with her father and wanted to be her stepmother? This was simply something that people couldn't even imagine...

She breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled helplessly, and said again:

"Ah Cai, if you insist on doing this, I won't stop you, but this matter is not a trivial matter. I hope you will think it over carefully. Besides, my father will not necessarily treat you, a little girl younger than his daughter.

Tempted."

Hearing what she said, Ah Cai's eyes suddenly glowed brightly. She looked up at Luo Lan, pursed her lips and chuckled, and nodded heavily,

"Princess, as long as you don't blame A Cai, I'm afraid you will blame A Cai for climbing a high tree."

Climbing Gaozhi? An eighteen-year-old girl fell in love with a middle-aged uncle. She was still worried that others would suspect her of climbing Gaozhi?

Luo Lan smiled helplessly, and then softly comforted her:

"Everyone is a free individual. You are free to decide who you like, but you have to remember that you are a woman. No matter what the final result is, you should not hurt yourself, you know?"

Her words made Ah Cai feel warm in her heart. She pursed her lips and nodded heavily,

"Princess, I understand."

Luo Lan patted her shoulder and chuckled softly. She knew that no one could interfere with emotional matters, and no one could persuade her just because she wanted to. She just hoped that A Cai would not be too embarrassed after being rejected by her father.

It's too sad.

At this moment, Liu Dechang's voice came over at the right time,

"Daughter, daddy is back."

Hearing this, A Cai hurriedly took a few steps back and stood aside with a blushing face.

Luo Lan rushed over and came to Liu Dechang. He cupped his fists and saluted like a coquettish person:

"Dad, you came back early today."

Andy Lau is all smiles. Ever since his daughter returned to him, his face has been filled with a bright smile every day.

He replied with a smile:

"There is nothing in the army today, so I will come back early. I will ask someone to prepare some more dishes in the evening and ask my son-in-law to have a few drinks with me."

Hearing this, Luo Lan looked at him in surprise, but Liu Dechang pointed to the door,

"Look, who's coming."

Looking in the direction of his finger, he saw Leng Yu standing there in a dark red robe, with bright eyes, looking at her tenderly.

The soft light on his face, like sunlight, seemed to melt people instantly.

The corners of Luo Lan's mouth rose slightly. Without any time to think, he rushed over quickly, put his hands around Leng Yu's waist and threw herself into his arms, saying coquettishly:

"Ms. sir, why are you here?"

Leng Yu pulled her up from his body and cursed in a low voice:

"Dad is still here, don't lose control."

Luo Lan pursed her lips in disbelief and muttered,

"What's the matter? It's too late for my father to be happy when he sees that his daughter and son-in-law have a good relationship, right?"

Liu Dechang just grinned and nodded directly when Luo Lan asked,

"My daughter is right, as long as dad sees you happy, it will be like I have won the battle, hahaha..."

After saying that, he pointed at A Cai who was standing not far away and said:

"Daughter, thank you for letting this little girl deliver the lotus seed soup two nights in a row. It's delicious, hahaha."

Hearing these words, A Cai looked at Luo Lan as if asking for help. Luo Lan understood instantly. It seemed that A Cai was afraid that she would spill the beans.

So, she nodded in agreement and said:

"The lotus seed soup was made by Ah Cai. It tasted good to me, so I asked her to bring you a bowl. If you think it tastes good, ask Ah Cai to give it to you later."

"Okay, the girl in your mansion is better than the cook in my palace. The soup she makes is light and delicious, quenches thirst and promotes fluid production. You must reward this little girl well later."

Luo Lan glanced at Leng Yu with his mouth pursed, and then said:
