May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly, and a sense of oppression enveloped Princess Anping.

“Anping,” the Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly, “In that case, you don’t need to go out anymore. Just stay at home and cultivate your character.”

After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she did not linger and stepped onto the high platform.

However, with just a few casual words, Princess Anping was placed under house arrest.

The incident happened so suddenly that Princess Anping hadn't even had time to react.

By the time she realized what was happening, Wen Yuanshu was already gone.

She gritted her teeth in hatred, but in front of the Empress Dowager, she didn't dare to do anything. She glared at Wen Yuanshu fiercely and stormed off.

Princess Jieyou glared at Wen Yuanshu fiercely when she saw her mother suffer such a great loss in front of her.

After the mother and daughter left one after the other, Madam Wen secretly gave Wen Yuanshu a thumbs up: "Yuanshu, when it comes to offending people, you're really good at it."

In just a few words, he offended someone completely.

Wen Yuanshu sighed: "It's my fault for disliking me first."

As soon as she arrived, Princess Anping publicly humiliated her, clearly having already offended her.

Rather than suffer alone, it's better for everyone to suffer together.

Madam Wen chuckled: "Well done, our family isn't afraid of trouble."

The title of "Princess" is now just a figurehead.

She can fool others, but she can't fool the General of the Cavalry's mansion.

"Alright, go and enjoy the scenery," said Madam Wen. "With the Empress Dowager here, nothing will happen."

Wen Yuanshu nodded, then pulled Wen Qinglan, who was still in a daze, away.

Just as the two were about to go elsewhere, Wen Rang arrived.

He was still dressed in spotless white robes, graceful as an immortal, but perhaps because he had just walked for too long, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he was slightly out of breath.

“Miss Wen,” Wen Rang cupped his hands in greeting, “I’m late.”

Wen Yuanshu's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Why do you say that, Young Master Wen?"

“It’s nothing,” Wen Rang smiled. “Miss Wen is indeed eloquent.”

Wen Yuanshu also smiled: "Having gone through another experience, it's natural to have made some progress."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanshu's expression changed slightly. She then said, "Let bygones be bygones. Farewell."

After saying that, Wen Yuanshu pulled Wen Qinglan away.

Even after walking quite a distance, Wen Qinglan kept turning back to look at Wen Rang: "Cousin, I think this young master Wen is quite nice, but he seems a bit weak. I wonder if he can help you get pregnant..."

Wen Yuanshu covered Wen Qinglan's mouth with a blank expression.

This girl, speaking so seriously, what kind of lewd words are these?

Getting into Maple Garden wasn't easy, and the group wandered around for a long time, but still felt they hadn't had enough.

But the time had come, and they had to leave even if it wasn't over yet.

The next day was a rare good day, sunny but not hot. Wen Yuanshu lazily sunbathed in the courtyard when a maid from the second gate suddenly ran in: "Miss, the person who brought you things last time has come again. I have already kept him here."

Wen Yuanshu immediately perked up: "Chunhua, go take a look."

The master and servant walked quickly to the front hall, where they saw a person dressed as a servant standing there.

Upon seeing her arrive, the servant bowed respectfully but remained silent.

Wen Yuanshu looked him up and down and asked, "Who is your master?"

The servant remained silent, while Wen Yuanshu's gaze fell upon his waist token.

The waist tag is made of wood with intricate and ornate patterns, and the character "礼" (li, meaning etiquette) is faintly engraved on it.

"Is this Young Master Wen Rang?"

As soon as Wen Yuanshu finished speaking, the servant's expression changed slightly.

Wen Yuanshu became even more certain of her thoughts: "I would like to meet Young Master Wen. Would that be convenient?"

The servant bowed and finally spoke, "Young Master is outside, Miss Wen, please."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanshu started walking outside.

After leaving the General's Mansion, we walked a little further and turned a corner before finally seeing the carriage of the Duke of Li's Mansion.

"Young master, Miss Wen has arrived."
