Si Mingye looked into Sheng Wanwan's clear, innocent eyes and said:

"Little one, long time no see! Why are you being naughty again? This palace is not like the General of the State's mansion; it's a place that eats people! You're not allowed to act like this again!"

Si Mingye's voice was indulgent, and his eyes and brows were filled with a joyful smile.

This was the first time that Si Mingye and the others had seen her like this, and they were all amazed. As expected, Sheng Wanwan was extremely cute, and even their Crown Prince could not resist the charm of such an adorable child!

"Brother Crown Prince, I'm not being silly! That Sheng Moshi clearly wants to use the Third Princess to bully me. If I don't teach them a lesson, I'm afraid I'll be bullied every time I enter the palace! That's too troublesome. It's better to beat them up so that they won't dare to mess with me in the future!"

What Sheng Wanwan said was perfectly reasonable.

Upon hearing this, Si Mingye couldn't help but chuckle.

He looked at Sheng Wanwan, "Hehe... But if you hadn't run into me today, how did you plan to end this? Although Sheng Moshi is your half-sister, she has the Empress Dowager backing her up, and Si Liusu has the Empress Dowager behind her. If you had beaten them both, you would probably have been in trouble."

"No way! Hehe... Look at this, Crown Prince!"

As she spoke, Sheng Wanwan took out a token from her bosom and waved it in front of Si Mingye.

"Sister Rui'er told me that with this token, even the Empress Dowager wouldn't dare to touch me easily! That's why I dared to hit the Third Princess. Even if I hit her, I'm just a child who doesn't know the rules. Plus, with the Emperor protecting me, the Empress and the Empress Dowager can't do anything to me!"

Sheng Wanwan smiled smugly, just like a cunning little fox.

Si Mingye's eyes flashed as he looked at the token in Sheng Wanwan's hand. He recognized the token; it was his father's personal possession. Seeing the token was equivalent to seeing the emperor himself, and no one in or outside the palace dared to disobey. He hadn't expected his father to entrust such an important item to Sheng Wanwan.

"Wanwan, this token is so important, you must keep it safe and not lose it," Si Mingye solemnly instructed.

"I know! Crown Prince, I will keep it safe." Sheng Wanwan nodded obediently, put the token back into her bosom, and then with a thought, the token appeared in her spatial dimension.

"Alright, now that things are resolved, I'm leaving!" Si Mingye said, turning and departing.

Sheng Wanwan and Si Ruier played in the palace for a long time until dusk, when Consort Rou sent them back.

Upon returning to the manor, they saw Old Madam Sheng sitting in Madam Chu's room with Sheng Moshi, who had a pig-headed face, confronting Madam Chu aggressively.

Upon seeing Sheng Wanwan return, Old Madam Sheng's face immediately darkened, while Sheng Moshi's eyes flashed with resentment.

"Sheng Wanwan, look what you've done!" Old Madam Sheng slammed her hand on the table and shouted angrily.

Sheng Wanwan glanced at Sheng Moshi's swollen face and understood what was going on. It seemed that after returning home, Sheng Moshi had already exaggerated her story to the Old Madam Sheng.

"Grandmother, I don't know what Wanwan did to make you so angry?" Sheng Wanwan asked in a childish voice, blinking her big, watery eyes, feigning innocence.

"You're still pretending! You've slapped Mo Shi's face so hard it's swollen, and you still have the nerve to ask!" Old Madam Sheng said, then pulled Sheng Mo Shi over with heartache, making her show her injuries.

Sheng Moshi was outstanding from a young age and was favored by the Empress Dowager. In addition, Mu Rou'er lost her heir, and Sheng Moshi, who was to marry the heir of Prince Rui, became the link between their General's Mansion and Prince Rui's Mansion. Naturally, she favored her.

In her heart, Sheng Moshi was her real granddaughter, while Sheng Wanwan was nothing more than a discarded child born of an abandoned child, destined to die, and not worthy of her attention.

Sheng Wanwan chuckled inwardly, but put on an innocent expression.

“Grandmother, you only heard Sheng Moshi’s side of the story and judged me. That doesn’t seem fair. Why don’t you find out the truth of the matter?”

"The truth? Mo Shi told me everything. You were jealous of her, so you instigated His Highness the Crown Prince to hit her! What else do you have to say!" Old Madam Sheng said angrily.

"Oh? Is that what you said about Wanwan, eldest sister? She said I instigated the Crown Prince to beat her because I was jealous of her? What do I have to be jealous of?"

She wasn't as good-looking as me, nor did she come from a better background; her only advantage was her exceptional medical skills. And me? Not only medical skills, but I can also control small animals. Grandmother, you should know that, right?

Sheng Wanwan speaks in a childish tone, but the words she says can drive a person mad with anger.

"You!" Old Madam Sheng was speechless for a moment, her face turning green with anger. Of course, she knew that the bee sting wound from last time hadn't fully healed yet!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sheng Wanwan continued, "Grandmother, do you believe me? I can even command ghosts! If you don't believe me, I'll invite my ghost friend tonight to show you! Don't worry about being scared to death. Rest assured, my medical skills are even better than my sister's. Even if you accidentally die of fright, I have a way to bring you back!"

Madam Sheng turned pale with fright at Sheng Wanwan's strange and threatening words.

She glared angrily at Sheng Wanwan, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

She dared not say she didn't believe it, because this girl was very strange. If she said she didn't believe it, and then she really saw a ghost that night, wouldn't she be scared to death?

Chu Shi watched as her arrogant and unreasonable mother-in-law was so angry at Sheng Wanwan that her face turned red and white in turns, and she couldn't hide her smile.

It seems she doesn't even need to lift a finger; her own daughter can drive this old woman half to death with anger!

What to do? She's really enjoying it!

"Why are you saying all this? I'm talking about you hitting your sister. What nonsense are you spouting?"

Madam Sheng felt so angry at Sheng Wanwan that she was furious, and her disgust for her deepened. She couldn't help but scold her.

“Wanwan isn’t talking nonsense! Grandmother, all Wanwan is saying is to tell you that I’m better than my sister in every way, so her claim that I hit her because I was jealous of her is unfounded!”

As Sheng Wanwan spoke, she nodded seriously, as if confirming her statement.

Madam Sheng was so angry that she couldn't speak. She could only point at Sheng Wanwan with her finger, her whole body trembling.

"Then tell me, why did you instigate the Crown Prince to beat your sister?"

"Grandmother, how could I possibly have that ability? What kind of person is the Crown Prince? Do you think he'll just hit my sister if I tell him to? He's not a puppet; he doesn't do whatever I say."

Sheng Wanwan said innocently.

"So what exactly happened?" Old Madam Sheng recalled Si Mingye's cold face. She also felt that such a high and mighty person would not listen to a few words from Sheng Wanwan and then beat the eldest granddaughter who was favored by the Empress Dowager!
