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

The grass on the wall bends with the wind, and naturally it veered towards Wen Yuanshu's side.

Seeing that things were not going well, the troublemakers shouted again: "Women are supposed to depend on us men to live! The Book of Rites says, 'Women are those who follow others. In childhood, they follow their fathers and brothers; after marriage, they follow their husbands; after their husbands die, they follow their sons!' Since ancient times, there has never been a saying that women are independent. It is truly absurd!"

“If it has never existed before, then it will exist now!” Wen Yuanshu’s attitude was firm and unyielding. “The establishment of the girls’ school was approved by the Empress Dowager. Its purpose is to enable women in the world to be independent and strong. If anyone is dissatisfied with the girls’ school, then he is dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager and he is dissatisfied with the imperial family.”

A cold glint flashed in Wen Yuanshu's eyes: "Gentlemen, you'd better think this through carefully."

The group wanted to remove the Empress Dowager so they could target her, but Wen Yuanshu couldn't agree to that. With just a few words, she dragged the Empress Dowager back into the picture.

After all, the Empress Dowager was the only person she could rely on when it came to establishing girls' schools.

Sure enough, the moment she mentioned the Empress Dowager, the group's arrogance waned.

The saying goes, "When the enemy retreats, we pursue." This opportunity cannot be missed.

Wen Yuanshu raised her hand and pointed at those people: "These people are deliberately causing trouble and disrespecting the Empress Dowager. Seize them!"

At Wen Yuanshu's command, the Imperial Guards rushed forward, weapons in hand.

The Imperial Guards were armed, and no one dared to stop them. But those people couldn't escape; they were completely blocked off. After a few attempts to break through, they didn't get far before being captured by the Imperial Guards.

After watching the Imperial Guards leave with their men, Wen Yuanshu turned around and nodded to the female official.

The female official quickly calmed down and announced the start of registration.

This farce didn't cause much of a stir; on the contrary, Wen Yuanshu's words spread like wildfire, and as time went on, more and more people came.

The registration was handled by palace ladies-in-waiting, who were very organized, but because there were so many people registering, they were busy from early morning until late at night.

That's not all; we'll continue tomorrow.

The palace gates were already locked, and Wen Yuanshu found them a place to stay before returning home after making sure they were settled.

After a long day, my back and waist are aching.

In this freezing weather, the only relief is to soak in hot water.

Fortunately, the boiler was keeping the water boiling, and by the time Wen Yuanshu had let her hair down, the bathhouse was ready.

As her body immersed in the hot water, Wen Yuanshu couldn't help but sigh.

Hot water is truly a miracle cure.

While soaking in the water, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, a body suddenly pressed against him.

Without even opening her eyes, Wen Yuanshu knew who it was: "Which nameless nobody has come again?"

A soft laugh suddenly rang in my ears: "So vengeful, huh?"

"I've heard that my Yuan Shu was a force to be reckoned with in the east of the city today."

Lu Chengyuan's voice was full of laughter.

Hearing that there was trouble in the east of the city, he originally wanted to rush there as soon as possible, but he received news halfway there that Wen Yuanshu had single-handedly calmed down the situation and taken down all those people, which put his mind at ease.

"What do you mean by 'wiping out all sides'..." Wen Yuanshu said with her eyes closed, "That sounds rather frightening."

A large hand lingered on her lower back, gently massaging it to relieve her fatigue from the day's work.

"Are you going again tomorrow?" Lu Chengyuan's voice was hoarse.

"not going."

Lu Chengyuan hummed in agreement.

The waves on the water gradually rose and then became more intense.

-

Two days later, it was time for the formal assessment.

Wen Yuanshu got up early and went over there, immediately spotting Bai Tong and the others.

They were all full of energy, looking ready to welcome a new life.

When Bai Tong saw Wen Yuanshu, his eyes lit up: "Miss!"

Wen Yuanshu walked towards them, her eyes full of smiles: "You've come."

Bai Tong nodded with a smile: "Yes, we haven't slept well these past two nights, we've been waiting for today!"

As she spoke, Bai Tong clasped her hands together, looking devout: "I hope we can all stay at the girls' school."

Wen Yuanshu couldn't help but chuckle, glancing at everyone around her.
