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

Wen Yuanshu twitched the corner of her mouth: "If she dares to keep it, I wouldn't dare to eat it."

Chunhua couldn't help but chuckle: "...That's true."

Soon, the waiter brought over some pastries, and Wen Yuanshu was finally able to fill her stomach.

Chunhua sat down at the small table and said, "Miss, I think the Princess intends to get involved in the girls' school, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, is it?"

"Ok?"

"After all, she is the eldest princess."

Wen Yuanshu chuckled: "Chunhua, this girls' school is supposed to be supported by the Empress Dowager and the Empress, but both of them are in the palace, while the Princess and we are outside. If the Princess really gets involved, this girls' school will only become the Princess's personal fiefdom... Look at this prince, does he seem reliable?"

She had poured a lot of effort into this girls' school; how could she just stand by and watch it be ruined?

More importantly, if she agrees to let Princess Anping get involved, then if the sky were to fall, the first one to be hit wouldn't be Princess Anping, but her.

She was unwilling to offend anyone for Princess Anping's sake, and naturally even less willing to take risks for Princess Anping's sake.

After thinking about it carefully, Chunhua nodded and said, "That's true."

At this moment, the waiter brought out the main course.

The master and servant ate their meals in silence.

Halfway through the meal, Wen Yuanshu suddenly put down her chopsticks, as if she had just thought of something.

"What's wrong?" Chunhua also put down her chopsticks. "Are you full already?"

Wen Yuanshu shook her head: "I was just thinking... what if the Eldest Princess went to see the Empress?"

The Empress Dowager once confined Princess Anping to her quarters because of a few words from her, which shows that the Empress Dowager did not like this princess very much, but the Empress was different.

Even if it's just for the sake of appearances, the Empress can't refuse Princess Anping if she asks.

Until then……

Wen Yuanshu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Chunhua, standing to the side, was quite carefree: "Miss, there's always a way out. Besides, there's still no news. Maybe Princess Anping didn't think of going to the Empress?"

Chunhua's words reassured Wen Yuanshu.

Also.

After all, there was nothing I could do about it.

This might not even happen, so she now thinks that she's just making trouble for herself.

Thinking about it now makes me unhappy every time, and if it actually happens, I'll have to feel unhappy again, which is really not worth it.

Let's just make things unpleasant together when the time comes.

Thinking this, Wen Yuanshu picked up her chopsticks again.

-

Princess Anping was no fool, and she acted swiftly. Before dusk, the Empress issued an edict ordering Princess Anping to participate in the affairs of the girls' school. If anything happened at the girls' school, Princess Anping and Wen Yuanshu were to discuss and handle it together.

That day, Lu Chengyuan finished everything early, which was unusual for him. He came to Wen Yuanshu's place, only to find her lying in a rocking chair, looking utterly dejected.

Nothing, big or small, in the capital city could escape Lu Chengyuan's notice.

He walked slowly forward, put his hands behind his back, and leaned down to look at her: "Does your head hurt?"

Wen Yuanshu gave a weak "hmm".

Lu Chengyuan then sat down to the side, his long, slender fingers resting on her temples.

Wen Yuanshu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I used to think that it would be good to have a powerful backer. With the Empress Dowager around, the girls' school would run more smoothly. I didn't expect that trouble would come so soon after we finished dealing with the previous matters."

Lu Chengyuan also sighed.

This matter was directly ordered by the Empress Dowager, and even if he was extremely capable, he couldn't help Wen Yuanshu in this matter.

This matter can only be handled by Wen Yuanshu herself.

“Although I can’t help you much, I have a lot of experience in massage,” Lu Chengyuan said. “If you have a headache, I’ll give you a massage.”

Wen Yuanshu's lips curved slightly.

Lu Chengyuan was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "Don't you want to say anything?"

"What?" Wen Yuanshu opened her eyes and looked at him.
