"My sister must have said something to the Third Princess! The Third Princess came up and started causing trouble for Sister Rui'er and Wanwan. The Third Princess even tried to hit Sister Rui'er, so to protect my friend, I kicked the Third Princess over!"

When Sheng Wanwan spoke, her eyes sparkled, and she had a smug look on her face.

Old Madam Sheng's lips twitched.

"You...you hit the Third Princess?"

"Hmm! Does Grandmother also think Wanwan is strong? That she can kick the Third Princess over with one kick?"

After Sheng Wanwan finished speaking, she stared at Old Madam Sheng with a smile, as if expecting praise from her.

"Strong? I think you're just bold! How dare you hit a princess in the palace? If you don't want to live, go die yourself and don't drag the Sheng family down with you!"

Madam Sheng was furious. This Sheng Wanwan was so reckless that she would bring disaster to the Sheng family sooner or later!

Sheng Wanwan smiled nonchalantly: "Grandmother, you're mistaken."

I hit the Third Princess because she bullied others first. I only did it to protect Sister Rui'er. Instead of praising me, why are you scolding me?

Madam Sheng trembled with anger at Sheng Wanwan's words. "You...you're being unreasonable! No matter what, you can't hit the princess! This is outrageous!"

"Outrageous? Grandmother, you're exaggerating. I hit the Third Princess for Sister Ruier's sake! You don't know who Sister Ruier is, do you? She's the Sixth Princess! The Emperor's most beloved Sixth Princess! I hit the Third Princess to protect the Sixth Princess, so the Emperor certainly won't blame me. He might even praise me for my bravery!"

Old Madam Sheng was absolutely furious with her unruly granddaughter. Her finger trembled as she pointed at Sheng Wanwan, "What does the squabble between princesses have to do with you? I'm warning you, Sheng Wanwan, from now on, you're not allowed to get involved in these kinds of things, and you're not allowed to cause trouble for the Sheng family! Do you understand?"

"I don't understand!" Sheng Wanwan blinked her big, innocent eyes, looking puzzled, as if she really didn't understand.

"You...you're absolutely infuriating!"

"Grandma, are you going to listen to me or not? If not, then leave! Wanwan is hungry and wants to eat!"

Sheng Wanwan was getting a little impatient!

"Go on!"

Madam Sheng gritted her teeth.

"After I kicked the Third Princess over, my eldest sister pointed her finger at me and said that I had assaulted the princess, which was a heinous crime punishable by death. She wanted to have me arrested and brought to the Empress's palace for trial! Grandmother, other older sisters protect their younger sisters, but why does my sister seem to want me dead? I think my eldest sister lacks manners. Sisters should help each other, not kick each other when they're down and wish the other dead, right? Even Wanwan, who is so young, understands this! Why doesn't my eldest sister understand this?"

Grandmother, I think you should give my eldest sister a good talking-to when you get back, lest she get a reputation for being jealous and malicious!

Sheng Wanwan looked at Sheng Moshi with disdain, as if she were disappointed in her.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Moshi's face turned red with anger.

She glared fiercely at Sheng Wanwan.

"Sheng Wanwan, what nonsense are you spouting? It was wrong of you to beat up the princess in the palace. I had you arrested and punished for the sake of the Sheng family! After all, you caused trouble in the palace, and we can't be implicated! You say I'm jealous? Why would I be jealous of a little brat like you?"

"Oh? Is that so? Since you say so, I'm relieved. I thought you were so eager to kill me because you were jealous that I was better than you in every way!" Sheng Wanwan looked innocent, but her words were enough to make anyone furious.

"Sheng Wanwan!" Sheng Moshi was speechless with anger at Sheng Wanwan's words, her face turning red as she glared at her.

"Alright, you two, stop arguing! Your sister was doing it for the Sheng family! There's nothing wrong with what she did. She should take responsibility for the trouble she caused! Keep going! How exactly did you instigate His Highness the Crown Prince to beat your sister so badly?"

Madam Sheng felt that there was nothing wrong with what Sheng Moshi did. In that situation, she should have pushed Sheng Wanwan, the troublemaker, out to take the blame herself, so as not to implicate the Sheng family.

Sheng Wanwan was not disappointed when she heard this. She knew exactly what kind of family they were. She didn't consider them family at all, so there was nothing for her to care about.

"Grandmother! I told you I didn't instigate His Highness the Crown Prince! At the time, many maids and nannies surrounded Wanwan, trying to arrest her!"

At this moment, the Crown Prince arrived. After hearing the whole story, he immediately recognized that his sister was behind it all. The Crown Prince immediately ordered his men to slap his sister twenty times! Then, because his sister didn't understand her place and called the Crown Prince "brother," the Crown Prince felt offended, so he ordered his men to slap her face as well!

"That's how it is, Grandmother. Wanwan really didn't instigate His Highness the Crown Prince; it was all His Highness's own decision."

"But, sister, really, you're so old and you still can't see your place. How can you call me Crown Prince? That's so rude. You should address me as Your Highness, understand?"

Sheng Wanwan stared at Sheng Moshi with disdain.

Sheng Moshi was so angry at Sheng Wanwan that she trembled all over. She clenched her teeth to prevent herself from losing control due to anger.

"Sheng Wanwan, don't go too far!" Sheng Moshi roared.

"How did I go too far? Didn't I say the truth? Sister, you are indeed lacking in manners and do not understand the proper order of respect. Your brother, the Crown Prince, is the future emperor. How can you call him brother directly? This is not only offensive but also disrespectful to the royal family." Sheng Wanwan said innocently, as if she was just kindly reminding Sheng Moshi.
