The more Madam Liu thought about it, the angrier she became, thinking that she should either go to her sister's place or...

After all, according to her own son, the young princess's attitude towards her was unlikely to be returning to the princess's residence.

After finishing dinner, Su Muyao went back to her room to rest, still thinking about her brother's martial arts competition the next day.

The next morning, everyone followed Huanbao to the square.

When they arrived at the location, they found that the area was crowded with onlookers.

From a distance, you could hear the chatter of the crowd, a very noisy and lively scene where you couldn't understand what they were saying.

I heard that this year's competition is different from previous years; this time, rankings will be required.

In other words, the top ten players will be selected, and these ten players will compete against each other to determine the final ranking.

Su Muyao prepared a competition outfit for Huanbao.

These are clothes that were carefully selected from the attic and finally chosen for him.

Huanbao looked radiant in the clothes, and her tall, graceful figure captivated all the young girls.

Su Muyao smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the expressions of the cheering crowd below.

"Look, look! Isn't that the little princess's brother? Oh my, he's really incredibly handsome."

There were people chatting idly next to Su Muyao.

"That's no small matter. The princess is a lucky star for our great dynasty. How could her brother be anything less than excellent?"

After the young woman finished speaking, another woman next to her murmured, "My little girl is also very pretty, but I don't know if she can catch the eye of this young man."

"Oh my, sister, you don't even know what kind of background we come from."

We're just common folk, how could we possibly be worthy of a princess's mansion?

Don't even think like that, or you'll just become a laughingstock.

Su Muyao chimed in, "You can't say that. It mainly depends on whether they like each other."

Another elderly woman with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face glanced at Su Muyao and said disdainfully, "People need to know their place."

Don't think that just because you're not bad-looking, you can have such a wonderful thing as someone else's sister being a princess.

Even if he were to marry someone in the future, she would have to be from a noble family, not just some commoner.

Even if this young man is interested, would the young princess agree?

Would the old lady in the family agree to this?

You guys shouldn't even dream of such a thing.

The young woman who spoke first said with some dissatisfaction, "You can't say that. As long as the children are mutually in love..."

The old lady and the young princess must be reasonable people; they wouldn't act as you described.

When the old woman heard someone refute her, she glanced at the young woman.

"Oh my, you're not really thinking about something like that, are you?"

What's this talk about being reasonable? Even if you're reasonable, you still have to see that you're so poor you don't have a single penny in your house.

Why should she marry into another family? She's always dreaming of something wonderful.

After saying this, he turned to look at Su Muyao: "Young lady, you look good and your clothes are decent, but don't be like these women."

Do you need to know your own status? You are indeed beautiful.

But to think that one could marry into a princess's household is truly wishful thinking.

"But looking at your appearance, how about I suggest you become a concubine in a wealthy family?"

Su Muyao had only chatted with them because she was bored while waiting, but she never expected that it would involve her.

"Grandma, there's no need for that."

After saying that, he didn't want to say anything more to them, and continued to look at the stage.

Now the old lady was completely enraged: "What a shameless little girl! She really doesn't know her own place and dares to dream of marrying into the princess's mansion! Bah!"

Xia, who was behind, shoved the old lady and said, "Who do you think you are to lecture others? Do you even know who my young lady is?"

The old lady could tell from the maid's arrogant demeanor that the young girl in front of her must be from a noble family.

He quickly apologized: "Young lady, I'm so sorry. I thought you were like those shameless little vixens, always thinking about seducing people."

I'm the kind of person who always says what I mean, and sometimes my words might not be very pleasant to hear, so please don't take them to heart!

After saying this, he shrank back and gave his seat to Xia.

Su Muyao only glanced at the old lady.

I am dressed rather simply today, with only a jade hairpin in my hair.

Thinking that today was an important day for her brother, she didn't want to lower herself to the level of these people and didn't say anything more.

The old lady's little granddaughter watched this scene, her eyes darting around.

The granddaughter looked at the little girl next to her. Although she was dressed simply, her demeanor clearly indicated that she came from a wealthy family.

Moreover, the jade hairpin on his bald head clearly wasn't an ordinary item.

In other words, my own grandmother is a fool who causes trouble everywhere.

Just then, Huanbao suddenly stepped down from the platform and handed a bunch of grapes to her younger sister.

These grapes were given to me by someone else. Seeing my younger sister standing below, I felt I had to give them to her.

Just as Huanbao walked towards Su Muyao, the old lady's granddaughter next to her widened her eyes.

Then she saw the second young master of the princess's mansion walking towards her with a smile.

At this moment, she frantically tried to recall when she had seen this second young master.

Before she could even think of it, this handsome young man came right up to her side.

He handed the grapes in his hand to the little girl next to him.

The previously sarcastic old woman suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief.

No wonder this girl kept saying that as long as they liked each other, it was fine; it turns out she knew that young master.

They must have come from ordinary families, otherwise they wouldn't be able to say they liked each other.

"Little sister, you can eat these grapes first. I'll go find you a stool. You can sit on the high platform in front!"

Su Muyao nodded in agreement with her brother's words, as the place was indeed too crowded.

Now everyone around could hear it clearly, and their gazes towards Su Muyao instantly turned to one of admiration.

Several people immediately began to kneel and worship.

The mean-spirited old woman trembled upon hearing this.

She never imagined that she was cursing the young princess.

He had always admired the young princess the most, because it was thanks to her grain that they were able to have enough to eat and even have some money left over.

At this moment, the old lady wished she could slap herself twice, for her loose tongue always talking nonsense.

"Greetings, Princess. May you be blessed with good fortune and peace."

Princess, I was blind and didn't recognize you.

He even said those words that could lead to my execution. I hope the young princess won't hold it against me.

After the old woman finished speaking, she started slapping herself repeatedly in the face.

She knew that if the young princess really pursued the matter, her whole family would be killed.
