The child, who had been lying flat, slowly curled up and then rolled himself into a ball inside the small box, huddling up in the small half of the box above his head.

Then Xiaoyou Ran repeated the previous action, slowly inserting the partitions into the box.

This time, everyone suddenly realized that the young county princess hadn't inserted the partition into the box to divide the person into three parts; it was just a trick.

Then a murmur of surprise arose, "So that's how it is..."

"If it's such sorcery, I can use it too! Hehe."

Once the audience understood the intricacies of the situation, they were no longer surprised or afraid by the small box being split into three pieces again; they simply found the performance laughable.

After the performance ended, Xiao Youren asked in a clear voice, "Did everyone see it clearly? Is the saying 'seeing is believing' really true?"

“Ugh—this is so fake…” Mocks erupted from the audience.

"The play I'm showing you today is called magic, which means a devilish illusion! But once the mystery is solved, it's nothing special! We must believe in science! Monsters and demons don't exist!" Xiao Youran said earnestly, then suddenly raised her voice, "So, do you still believe in any kind of sorcery in this world?!"

"Hahaha—a devilish illusion! Just as I thought, it really scared the hell out of me!"

"Isn't that right? I was startled too. I thought the young princess had really split the child into three! It turned out to be magic!"

"I knew it! There wasn't a single drop of blood on the knife or the partition. How could it have hurt anyone?" someone wisely observed after the fact. "So it was magic!"

"The young county princess said to believe in science, but what the hell is science?"

The man was immediately slapped on the forehead. "You were just saying that demons and monsters don't exist. Stop talking about ghosts all the time."

Xiao Youran repeated loudly, "Do you still believe in any kind of sorcery in this world?"

"Hahaha, I don't believe it!" someone laughed. "They say seeing is believing, but what the young county princess says is absolutely right. Seeing isn't always believing!"

The young princess then called out towards the door, "Godmother, you may come out now!"

The eldest princess, supported by her aunt Jinxiu, walked out with an air of elegance and grace, her voice steady and calm, "Seeing is not always believing, so how can we believe those rumors about me and my son?"

The scene fell silent for a moment.

The Dowager Lady of Zheng also came out, slamming her cane heavily on the ground. "When the Eldest Princess gave birth to Xuan'er, it was indeed quite difficult. It was only with the help of Physician Gu and the young county princess, who performed acupuncture, that Xuan'er was born safely. If you insist that the two physicians really used some kind of sorcery that day, I would rather they really did use some strange magic or sorcery. What could be more important than protecting the lives of my daughter-in-law and grandson!"

Yueyue stepped forward, took Xiao Youran's hand, and said in a clear voice, "My mother almost died when she gave birth to my younger brother. If Sister Youran really can use some kind of magic, I will beg her to stop my mother from suffering so much, and I beg her to let my mother and brother be safe!"

Many people were moved by this.

An old woman suddenly burst into tears, “Yes, my poor daughter died in childbirth that year. If there really are any gods or monsters in this world who can bring my daughter and her child back to safety, I would rather shorten my own lifespan than not ask them to save my daughter.”

Xiao Youran quickly steered the conversation back on track, "There is no such thing as magic in this world! All the talk about monsters and demons is completely unbelievable."

Those who had previously incited the people to burn the sorcerer alive were clearly unwilling to give up. After the initial shock and panic, they started shouting again, "Even if today's event was a magic trick, who can prove that you didn't perform a cesarean section to remove the child?"

It's impossible to ask the eldest princess to expose her belly, is it?

The eldest princess stared at the man coldly and said, "What evidence do you have to prove that I was cut open to have my child removed?"

The man choked.

Yueyue also stood up to defend her mother fiercely, pointing at him and saying, "Just because you have a mouth? You think you can call my mother a monster? You think you can call my brother a Japanese devil? I'll say you're the monster, the demon. A monster who thinks you can slander my mother and brother with just a few words. If you want to burn him, burn him to death!"

The entire room fell silent.

The people behind them looked at each other in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that they had been incited and provoked to cause trouble in front of the princess's gate based on just a few words.

A strange smile appeared on Xiaoyouren's face, and then he reached out and pulled out a strange black hat from the side.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, she pulled out one, two, three pearl flowers from her hat...

The people's attention was immediately drawn to this.

Suddenly, Xiao Youran flicked her wrist and the large red beaded flower in her hand disappeared.

Then she made a dramatic gesture, pointing in a certain direction within the crowd, and exclaimed, "Look!"

The stars all looked in the direction he was pointing.

A woman looked around in bewilderment.

"Hey, look there! What's that flower doing on your head?"

Suddenly a child squeezed through the crowd and snatched the red beaded flower from the woman's head.

Before the woman could react, she cried out and covered her head.

The people then saw the child walking along, showing off the beaded flowers in his hand. With each step, his fingers flew, and the red beaded flowers turned yellow, purple, green, pink...

"Good! Good!" The people cheered and applauded.

Soon the child stepped onto the steps, took the hat from Xiao Youran's hand, and with a "whoosh," turned it into a handkerchief, covering his fist.

Then, slowly unfolding the handkerchief, the beaded flower in her hand transformed into a firecracker.

The next instant, the firecrackers scattered and exploded all over the steps.

The people who were nearby were so startled that they quickly moved aside.

The people burst into laughter and clapped enthusiastically.

"What amazing sorcery! No, what amazing magic!"

Xiao Youran's clear voice pierced through everyone's ears, "Do you all still believe this is sorcery?"

The people excitedly replied, "It's not sorcery! It's magic!"

Do you still believe in the existence of any sorcery in this world?

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

Xiao Youran had already helped the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo and the eldest princess into the mansion, and then threw out another sentence, "Yes! We must believe in science!"

The people echoed, "Believe in science! Believe in science!"

Then the gates of the Princess's residence slowly closed.

Some people are starting to realize, what exactly is science?
