It was only then that Grandma Su realized that she had been confused all along.

What is the identity of my precious child? So many outsiders want to get close to my precious child, so why do I feel sorry for this family?

Grandma Su said, "Judging from your expressions, you seem dissatisfied. In that case, go and ask around elsewhere."

Su Muyao was still thinking about how to persuade her grandmother.

It seems I don't need to persuade Grandma anymore, since she's not being too kind.

At this moment, the little girl immediately knelt down in front of the old lady.

"Grandma Su, I don't feel dissatisfied at all."

I was just thinking that I only earn two taels of silver a day, and I still have to pay for rent for my family.

After deducting the food and drinks consumed by family members, there's basically nothing left.

When I was looking for work, I was just hoping to save some money so I could buy a house in the suburbs someday.

Su Muyao burst out laughing when she heard the little girl's words: "I didn't know your family was so naive."

You should all know how much a house in the capital costs.

He thought he could buy a house in the capital by simply hiring a laborer and doing odd jobs.

"If that's the case, everyone should come to the capital to work and buy houses."

As soon as Su Muyao finished speaking, the little girl looked at Grandma Su with teary eyes.

The little girl was thinking, "How can a granddaughter like you, who doesn't know how to be considerate, be as good as me?"

The old lady had previously spoken to her family, saying that the little princess was very busy every day.

The young girl was thinking that if she could become the old lady's granddaughter, wouldn't marrying into a wealthy family be a sure thing?

Everyone in the capital is talking about her; she used to be the head maid in their household.

The old lady then betrothed them to the top scholar, and their marriages were even more blissful.

Therefore, young girls are unwilling to associate with those greasy men. Even if they did, they could only do outside work or be concubines.

Her goal was to become the mistress of a high-ranking family; she had no interest in those lowly concubines.

When Grandma Su looked at the little girl's tearful face again, she felt no pity at all, but rather a deep sense of unease.

Seeing that the old lady was unmoved, the young girl continued, "Why is the little princess so aggressive? I just want to find someone who pays a higher wage."

If I can't find anything suitable, I'll look for something else. There's no need for such harsh words.

After saying that, he stood up from the ground, but his body swayed the moment he stood up.

After the little girl finished performing the set of movements, she looked at Grandma Su again, only to find that she had a sullen face.

Su Muyao almost burst out laughing.

This little girl probably hasn't realized that her own grandmother has already seen through her disguise, and she's still pretending.

After hearing the young girl's harsh words, Old Lady Su was furious.

He stepped forward and slapped her across the face.

"You shameless hussy, I've kindly found you a job."

It's one thing if you don't appreciate it, but you even have to talk about my dear little granddaughter.

"Besides, my Yao Yao is a little princess. How dare you speak of her like that in front of me? You're incredibly audacious!"

Upon hearing her words, the little girl's parents immediately knelt down.

"Please calm down, Madam. This was all her doing. We hope you won't implicate us."

The little girl, who had just stood up, trembled slightly.

This old lady was completely different from what I had imagined.

She had been acting all pitiful, as if she wanted to adopt me as her own granddaughter, but her attitude changed completely the next moment.

And then there are those parents who want both wealth and luxury, yet can't share the joys and sorrows of life.

Su Muyao noticed that it was getting late, and the business was scheduled to open tomorrow!

There's no time to argue with these people anymore.

However, let Grandma handle this matter herself. After all, she brought these people with her, and it's not appropriate for me to do anything to them.

Su Muyao glanced at her grandmother and said, "Grandma, I'll go upstairs and wait for you."

I still have some account books that I haven't sorted out yet.

Grandma Su nodded.

Seeing that her grandmother had agreed, Su Muyao took off running upstairs.

Seeing that the little princess had left, these people felt that the old lady was kind-hearted and that they could get benefits by crying a little.

"Grandma Su, I really didn't mean to say that, I just spoke without thinking."

Grandma Su frowned and said, "What do you mean by being outspoken? You just said what was on your mind."

Anyone who dared to talk back to the little princess was dragged out and given ten strokes of the cane by Granny Wu.

When the little girl heard that she was going to be given ten lashes, she became truly frightened.

"Grandma Su, Grandma Su, please have pity on me."

If I don't do this, my future days will be very difficult.

My parents forced me to do this.

Grandma Su, please have pity on me.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Su gave Granny Wu a look, and Granny Wu, along with several people, dragged the family of three outside and gave each of them ten strokes of the cane.

The little girl's parents hated her to the core at this moment.

Originally, only the little girl needed to be beaten; it would have been just ten strokes of the cane.

But he insisted on implicating himself, which resulted in him also being beaten ten times.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, wishing he could strangle the little girl to death.

If I hadn't been thinking that I could make a fortune by clarifying things later, why would I have kept her up until now?

The family of three was given ten lashes right outside the restaurant in a busy place.

The area was surrounded by people.

"What happened? Why was this person being punished?"

An employee at Su Muyao Restaurant explained, "This family came to find her a job because of our old lady's kindness."

As a result, our little princess provided them with food and lodging, and even gave them money every month. Yet this girl still had the audacity to insult our little princess.

Our matriarch couldn't tolerate it any longer, so she ordered each of them to be given ten strokes of the cane.

The others around them started talking amongst themselves when they heard this.

"In my opinion, she should have been beaten to death and given ten strokes of the cane. That would be too lenient on them."

"Our little princess is such a wonderful person!"

"How dare they insult our little princess! They're courting death!"

The little girl who was being punished gritted her teeth in anger as she listened to the whispers of those around her.

She really wanted to yell at these people: "You call yourselves incredibly kind people? You only give me two taels of silver a month!"

All those rumors are false; the whole "Moon Silver High" thing is utter nonsense.

I was completely deceived by what I heard from the outside world. If I had known that I would only be paid two taels of silver a month, why would I have come here?

I felt like my butt didn't even belong to me anymore.
