The sarcastic voice instantly ignited Bai Tuantuan's anger.

"Grandmother, who is this lady?" Bai Tuantuan turned to look at Yuan Chenchen and asked curiously.

Yuan Chenchen looked unwell, but still explained to Bai Tuantuan, "This is the wife of the Minister of War."

"Mu Rouzhu, the third daughter of Prince Ping," Ruotang whispered a reminder.

Bai Tuantuan nodded: "Is the prince's daughter also a princess?"

“Hehe.” Yuan Chenchen laughed: “Of course not, not just anyone can be granted the title of Princess.”

"Oh!" Bai Tuantuan suddenly realized. "The Emperor didn't bestow the title of Princess upon you, surely because of your bad character. But the Emperor bestowed the title of Princess upon my mother and praised her, which means my mother has good character. So why did you say my mother's character was bad?"

"You're contradicting the Emperor, do you think you're more capable than him?"

At this point, Bai Tuantuan clapped her hands, her round little face full of surprise: "So there are people even more powerful than the Emperor! You're amazing, Madam!"

"Shut up!" Mu Rouzhu never expected that a child would dig a hole for her!

"Bang!" Bai Tuantuan slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly. Her childish voice echoed throughout the hall: "Shut up! I am the County Princess personally appointed by His Majesty! I am bestowed the title of Changning. Who do you think you are, daring to disrespect this County Princess?!"

Upon hearing this, not only Mu Rouzhu, but even Yuan Chenchen was stunned.

"Hmph, she's nothing more than a lady without any rank! Spreading rumors to falsely accuse the Emperor of personally bestowing the title of Princess Lexin, and being disrespectful to the Emperor's personal bestowal of the title of County Princess, it seems you really have a problem with the Emperor!"

Mu Rouzhu's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

No one expected that a child would escalate the situation to this extent. For a moment, no one dared to utter a sound, and everyone was on tenterhooks.

The eldest princess looked deeply at Bai Tuantuan and saw that her little hands were slightly clenched into fists and her eyes were a little nervous, but she still held her chest out. A soft feeling ran through her heart. The little girl was able to do so much for her mother. She really had a pure heart!

"Mu, you have quite the nerve!" The eldest princess put down her teacup and spoke calmly.

Yuan Chenchen also realized what was happening and quickly hugged Bai Tuantuan into her arms. Feeling Bai Tuantuan's body trembling, she said softly, "Tuantuan did a good job, don't be afraid."

At this moment, Bai Tuantuan was extremely excited: "Soup spoon, how was it? Wasn't my aura impressive?"

Wow! Good job, Bai Tuantuan, your lines were delivered well!

"You taught me so well. If you read more storybooks, you'll have to read them to vent your emotions and feel better!"

Bai Tuantuan communicated with the soup spoon in her mind, then looked at the princess. She didn't expect the princess to help her.

However, judging from the fact that she was sitting next to her grandmother, they must have a very good relationship.

Mu Rouzhu took a deep breath: "Your Highness, I didn't mean that. That child was just talking nonsense!"

"How dare you!" The eldest princess slammed down her teacup, her voice deafening. "The child you speak of is a county princess personally bestowed by the Emperor! Your repeated disrespect towards her is an expression of dissatisfaction with the Emperor?"

The princess was furious, and Mu Rouzhu was so frightened that she knelt on the ground: "Princess, please calm down. I didn't mean it that way. I... I just said it casually. I'm just a straightforward person, so please don't blame me!"

“You should apologize to me, and to my mother as well.”

“You have smeared my mother’s name and disrespected me. Do you understand?” Bai Tuantuan stepped out of Yuan Chenchen’s arms, looked at Mu Rouzhu kneeling on the ground, and said, word by word, “We are the ones who have suffered the most.”

Mu Rouzhu looked completely incredulous.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Fangyu's voice came.

Bai Tuantuan looked up and saw Zheng Fangyu and Chen Zhixiu walking over with some ladies.

Upon seeing Mu Rouzhu kneeling on the ground, Zheng Fangyu's face showed a suppressed expression: "This...is there some misunderstanding? Why is Rouzhu kneeling on the ground?"

After the people around her briefly explained what had happened, Zheng Fangyu sighed helplessly: "You, you're just so straightforward."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Zhixiu and said, "Sister Xiu'er, please don't mind her. She didn't mean anything by it. You are a magnanimous person, so please forgive her."

Bai Tuantuan frowned, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Chen Zhixiu laugh: "Unforgivable."

"And Madam Xiao, my family has no older sisters, only older brothers."

After saying that, Chen Zhixiu walked to Bai Tuantuan's side and said slowly, "Mother, I don't forgive her."

"She just thinks I'm easy to bully, so she dares to humiliate me even in my own home!"

“Fine, I won’t forgive you!” Yuan Chenchen also stood up and curtsied to the Princess. “Princess, I must report this matter to the Emperor.”

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and their eyes were full of disapproval as they looked at Chen Zhixiu, though many others were also gloating.

Chen Zhixiu has offended a lot of people as soon as she returned!

So what if she's a princess? So what if she's the eldest daughter of the Bai family? She'll probably be isolated in the future!

Mu Rouzhu was startled and looked at Zheng Fangyu in a panic: "Madam Xiao..."

Zheng Fangyu was initially angry because of Chen Zhixiu's ungratefulness, but after hearing what she said next, her heart sank a little. She patted Mu Rouzhu's hand and gave her a comforting look. She smiled and looked at Chen Zhixiu: "Xiu'er... Princess, the Bai family is celebrating a happy occasion today, so don't let these trivial matters affect your mood. Why don't you forgive Rouzhu this time for my sake?"

"Rouzhu, you must apologize to the princess and the county princess right now!"

Chen Zhixiu looked at Zheng Fangyu and Mu Rouzhu with a half-smile.

Even though Mu Rouzhu was extremely unwilling, she could only apologize to the two of them. However, the hand holding the handkerchief revealed her anger and dissatisfaction.

"Mother?" Bai Tuantuan looked at Chen Zhixiu, her big eyes asking a question.

Chen Zhixiu rubbed Bai Tuantuan's head and looked at Zheng Fangyu, saying, "Since that's the case, then for Madam Xiao's sake, forgive her this time."

"Does Madam Xiao have any face?" Bai Tuantuan couldn't help but ask.

Zheng Fangyu's expression changed.

Yuan Chenchen immediately said, "Tuantuan is still a child, and her words are not to be taken seriously. Madam Xiao is magnanimous, so please don't take it to heart."

Zheng Fangyu looked embarrassed; this was a direct response to what she had just said!

"Madam Xiao, could you do me a favor?" Chen Zhixiu said with a smile. "When I married my husband, I became pregnant with Tuantuan while he was in the capital taking the imperial examination. Tuantuan is now five years old, but my husband still hasn't returned. This trip to the capital is also to look for my husband."

"I wonder if Madam Xiao could help me search for it?"

Zheng Fangyu was puzzled as to why she was asked to help her search.

"I……"

Chen Zhixiu interrupted Zheng Fangyu: "The reason I sought Madam Xiao's help is because my husband's surname is also Xiao..."
