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

She now sees everyone as having ill intentions.

She knew it was wrong to think that way, but she was still scared.

Seeing this, Wen Yuanshu said, "The girls' school will be busy in a couple of days. If you're free, why don't you go and help out?"

"Me?" Wen Qinglan was taken aback. "How can I possibly help..."

She can't do anything.

"You can help write names or something, right?"

Wen Qinglan nodded.

She can write.

"That's good," Wen Yuanshu said with a smile. "Prepare well these next couple of days, and I'll take you with me in a few days."

Wen Qinglan nodded and said, "Okay."

After being cooped up for so many days, she really wanted to go out for a walk, but she didn't dare to go alone. Now that Wen Yuanshu had asked, she naturally had no reason to refuse.

Just as Wen Yuanshu was about to turn and leave, Wen Qinglan called out to her again, "Cousin, um..."

"how?"

Wen Qinglan bit her lip and said, "My father wrote to me that my younger sister is also coming to the capital."

She came here to pave the way for her sister, but she didn't expect to get involved in such a big thing. Now, the path wasn't paved, and Wen Siyu has to come herself.

When Wen Siyu was mentioned, Wen Qinglan's expression became somewhat abnormal.

Wen Yuanshu had little impression of this cousin.

After all, there was an age gap. Back in their hometown, she didn't have much contact with Wen Qinglan, let alone Wen Qinglan's younger sister.

So Wen Yuanshu nodded: "Should we arrange another courtyard?"

Wen Qinglan quickly shook her head: "No need, cousin, let's live together."

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Qinglan said again, "Cousin, my younger sister is spoiled by her aunt. If she does anything bad, I... I'll apologize to you first."

As she spoke, Wen Qinglan curtsied to Wen Yuanshu.

Wen Yuanshu was slightly taken aback.

Wen Qinglan is the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife, but judging from her appearance, it seems as if she has suffered a lot of grievances at the hands of her younger sister.

The Wen family is a large family with all sorts of people. Wen Heng's family had already gone to the capital long ago and were not as familiar with the situation back in their hometown as before. So Wen Yuanshu didn't say anything, just nodded and left.

A few days later, it was time for girls to register for school.

The spectacle on this day was even greater than that of the assessment day.

Since there's no tuition fee and they even provide employment opportunities after graduation, many people want to give it a try.

Among them were not only young women, but also quite a few married women.

After a few days of getting to know each other, Bai Tong and the others had already become familiar with each other and cooperated very well. They recorded the names and hometowns of those people in a very organized manner.

Wen Qinglan stood beside Wen Yuanshu, looking at the scene in front of her, and couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"Isn't it good to get married, have children, and live a stable life? Why do you have to work so hard to make a living?" Wen Qinglan didn't understand.

Wen Yuanshu glanced at her and said, "Getting married and having children isn't bad, it's just that sometimes it puts you in too much of a passive position."

Few people in the world like being passive.

The current bustling atmosphere stems from this.

Wen Qinglan nodded, seemingly touched.

-

Bai Tong and the others went out early and returned late every day, wishing they could treat the girls' school as their second home. A Qing was left alone at home, and looking at the huge courtyard, she felt even more lonely.

She could easily imagine that Bai Tong and the others must be extremely busy right now.

Not only are they busy, but they are also surrounded by people who flatter them.

And that's how she was supposed to be.

A hint of resentment flashed in Aqing's eyes.

Why wasn't she chosen?!

She even went to see Wen Yuanshu, hoping she would give her another chance, but to her surprise, Wen Yuanshu refused to see her!

That girls' school claimed to be about empowering women, but wasn't she just one of the women in the world?

Why!

Before the hatred in her eyes could spread, someone knocked on the courtyard gate.
