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

Meeting her gaze, Lu Chengyuan's lips curled slightly: "For example... with a husband like this, what more could a woman ask for?"

"..."

The enrollment work for the girls' school has just come to an end, but the female official and Bai Tong and others have already started to get busy.

Being a teacher is not an easy job; it requires not only a sincere heart but also the right approach and methods.

Bai Tong and the others are already cramming for the last minute. With only half a month left before school starts, they are now studying from morning till night how to teach students well.

Wen Yuanshu originally thought that Princess Anping would probably go on the first day of school, but she didn't expect that she would be so diligent. The day after the decree was issued, Princess Anping went.

At that time, Wen Yuanshu had not yet gotten out of bed when the person sent by the female official to ask for help had already arrived.

Left with no other choice, Wen Yuanshu quickly put on her clothes and went to the girls' school.

Even if she was quick and efficient, it would still be a quarter of an hour before she arrived at the girls' school.

Wen Yuanshu glanced at the cannons parked at the entrance of the girls' school, and then entered the school.

Princess Anping was sitting on the veranda, while Bai Tong and the others were neatly lined up in the courtyard, each with a porcelain object on their head, seemingly learning etiquette.

Upon seeing Wen Yuanshu approach, Princess Anping raised an eyebrow: "You've arrived."

Wen Yuanshu curtsied and looked around the room: "Your Highness, this is..."

“Oh,” Princess Anping flicked her wide sleeves, “these people’s manners and etiquette are a mess. How can they uphold the reputation of the girls’ school? So I thought, let them start by learning the most basic manners.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanshu sighed helplessly, "But Your Highness, the students will be here in half a month. It's really a bit too early for them to learn etiquette now—"

Before Wen Yuanshu could finish speaking, Princess Anping impatiently interrupted her: "Since they possess a skill, they must have been taught by someone. How could they not know how to teach students?"

Wen Yuanshu pursed her lips.

She didn't know about other people's situations, but she had heard Bai Tong mention a few things when she was still in the Marquis's mansion.

The people who taught them had terrible tempers. If they made the slightest mistake, they would be beaten, and the severity of the beating depended entirely on their mood. If they were beaten to a pulp, they would be sold to the lowest-ranking brothels, where they would suffer a fate worse than death.

How can a female student be employed with such a professorial style?

The female official also knew that some of them came from a family of prostitutes, so she wanted to hurry up and teach them how to be teachers and mentors.

Unexpectedly, Princess Anping interfered, insisting that they start with the most basic etiquette...

To be honest, etiquette was merely an embellishment in this girls' school.

While adding flowers to brocade is nice, it's not something you absolutely need.

Wen Yuanshu emphasized many times that the girls' school was built for women's self-reliance, and the female officials kept this in mind.

Seeing that Wen Yuanshu seemed hesitant to speak, Princess Anping waved her hand impatiently and said, "Alright, just leave it at that. I have my own plans."

She came here today to establish her authority at the girls' school and let these women know that she is in charge. Everything is going smoothly now, so how can she let Wen Yuanshu interfere?

Now, Wen Yuanshu was at a loss.

They've already used "this Empress" in their title; what can she, a mere "subject," say?

Wen Yuanshu sighed: "Then we'll listen to Your Highness."

"That's more like it." Princess Anping was quite satisfied.

The female official standing nearby felt a jolt in her heart and instinctively looked at Wen Yuanshu.

Wen Yuanshu didn't look at her, but stood aside with her eyes lowered.

Princess Anping sat regally under the eaves, displaying the full majesty of a princess.

However, as time went on, Princess Anping became restless.

Boredom is one thing, but she's delicate and pampered; she can't stand sitting like this for so long.

Seeing this, Wen Yuanshu said, "Your Highness, you are of noble birth. Why don't you leave the matters here to me and go back to rest?"

Princess Anping raised an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yuanshu is quite perceptive.

"Hmm, it's kind of you to have this thought in mind," Princess Anping said, looking at her with satisfaction. "Then I'll leave this matter to you."
