Xiaohua understood that the old lady wasn't what she had imagined, so she knew she wouldn't be able to get into her house.

Since they can't get in the door, I'll extort a hundred taels from them. I believe that with that hundred taels, my grandmother won't keep thinking about selling me every day.

Seeing the little girl in such a state, everyone around her felt as if they had swallowed a fly.

Everyone thought this little girl was a good person. One second she was pitiful, but the next second she was exposed and became so unreasonable and domineering. She's just like her grandmother.

Grandma Su pointed at Xiaohua's face and started cursing: "My son saved your life, but you repay kindness with enmity and try to extort money from us. You want money but we don't have any."

The old lady grabbed Xiaohua and said, "My granddaughter, you're so pitiful. If they don't compensate you today, just kill yourself in front of their house. I'll let the judge decide."

Xiaohua kept her head down, her face cold and gloomy.

"Fine, let her crash into me. Let her die in front of my house. I want to see how the upright judge will judge her."

As soon as Su Muyao came out, the girl named Xiaohua looked over and gritted her teeth in anger.

Why is it that she, a girl, is spoiled rotten by her family?

When the old lady saw that it was just a young girl who came out, and in such an arrogant tone, she immediately started cursing.

"You little good-for-nothing, how dare you interrupt us? Go cool off somewhere else or don't blame me for teaching you a lesson on behalf of your parents."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao burst out laughing: "Who gave you the audacity to slander a fifth-rank imperial lady?"

"You dare to insult me ​​and my parents? I think you don't want your dog's life anymore."

Upon hearing this, the people around suddenly remembered that the Su family girl was already a princess personally appointed by the emperor.

Although the young princess remained kind and even exempted them from the elaborate three-kneeling and nine-bow ceremony.

But her status was what it was; how could a wretched old woman have the right to curse her?

Xiao Hua clenched her fists. She naturally knew that this girl, who was a few years younger than her, had the title of princess. Most importantly, she had heard that this little dumpling was also a peasant girl.

She was only granted the title of "nominal princess" after a brief encounter with the emperor. What's there to be proud of?

Which princess doesn't have a bunch of maids and servants?

When she learned that the little girl had been granted the title of princess, she had a fleeting fantasy that if she were the one who met the emperor, she might be able to be granted the title of princess herself, given her ability to read people's expressions.

The mean old woman looked around at the people gossiping, still bewildered. "What noblewomen, what princesses? They're just farmers doing some business!"

After the old lady finished speaking, the people around her quickly began to answer her questions.

"You're really in for a world of hurt today. Not only will you not get your money back, you'll be going to jail."

The Lady and the Princess were both personally appointed by the Emperor. How dare you slander a court official and even say that the Princess's good days are over?

Listening to the conversations of those around her, the old woman realized something was wrong.

"Hmph! I'm not going to stoop to your level, old woman." After saying this, she turned around and tried to leave.

How could Su Muyao possibly let this old lady go? If she did, who knows how many more people would come after her in the future.

“Father, this person is ungrateful and insulted me, the princess. If we let her off lightly, who knows how many people will look down on our family in the future and send her to the authorities.”

The eldest and third brothers of the Su family stepped forward and subdued the old lady.

"Oh my god, someone's been murdered! Someone's been murdered!"

I just came here to get an explanation, and they're trying to send me to the authorities? I'm an old woman, I can't go on living like this. The officials are bullying ordinary people."

The mean old woman was crying and wailing with tears and snot streaming down her face.

"Why aren't you two taking her to the authorities? What are you standing here for?"

Old Su looked at his third and second sons, who were just supporting the old lady and standing there without moving.

The old lady was crying and sniffling, and her own granddaughter was so close that she might throw something at her. Oh my, just thinking about it is terrifying.

Xiao Hua, who was still standing there, was dumbfounded. Her grandmother had really been taken away. If she really went to jail, wouldn't she be beaten to death by her grandfather and father?

Thinking of this, he quickly followed and ran after them.

At this moment, Xiaohua was also thinking about the government filing a lawsuit against her family.

If he had encountered an honest official, he might have actually been able to get the Su family to compensate him with some money.

After all, she could simply insist that her son had ruined her reputation.

No sooner had Su Muyao entered the house than Long Yuan arrived again.

As soon as Long Yuan stepped into the house, Su Muyao looked at the little boy and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to the border last time? Why are you here again now? Don't you have to go to the battlefield?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw a group of maids and servants behind Long Yuan, and quite a few guards standing outside the door.

"Yaoyao, I've brought the people from the Princess's Mansion over to you. They can help you move into your new home first."

Although the princess's mansion has everything you need, and you can just go and live there, I'm sure your grandparents won't throw anything away.

So I took it upon myself to bring the people over first so you could move in.

"Those are my grandparents."

Long Yuan did not refute, but simply chuckled.

"My mother is hosting a banquet in a few days, and she'll have me deliver the invitation to you along with it." Long Yuan said, handing over the gold-embossed invitation.

"Okay, I understand."

After chatting, Su Muyao learned that Long Yuan would be away at the border for at least two or three years, and possibly five or six years, before he could return.

After seeing the person out and returning to my room, I felt depressed, perhaps because Longyuan in the capital city had given me a great sense of security.

It's been many years since this person I knew so well left.

Grandma Su felt a little awkward, looking at the group of people standing inside and outside the house, unsure of what to do with her hands and feet.

Especially the guards outside with swords, they look quite intimidating.

"Old man, there are so many men carrying knives outside. Didn't the Crown Prince already leave? Why aren't these people with him?"

After a moment's thought, Old Man Su probably guessed the reason.

“It should be left to our precious baby by the Crown Prince outside. Didn’t we hear that the Crown Prince was going to the border?”

Besides, our precious baby is now a princess, so naturally she needs some maids and servants to take care of her.

Grandma Su agreed that what he said made sense; otherwise, things would turn out like they did today, with her own family members having to do it.

…

After returning, Long Yuan set off, constantly playing with a small porcelain bottle in his hand along the way.

This small porcelain bottle was given to him by Su Muyao when she saved him. The two shadows, Shadow One and Shadow Two, who were standing nearby, did not disturb the scene.

They all knew that this trip to the border would last for several years, and that the Crown Prince must be somewhat reluctant to leave the young princess.
