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

Moreover, as long as it is done discreetly enough, this force will not be exposed to the public.

Upon hearing Princess Jieyou's words, Princess Anping's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

That’s right!

That female official seems much easier to deal with than Wen Yuanshu!

The Empress Dowager and the Empress are both deep within the palace. If we can just take that female official under our command and get rid of Wen Yuanshu, then wouldn't she be in charge of the girls' school?

"Jieyou, you are truly my good daughter!"

A smile flashed in Princess Jieyou's eyes: "It's good to be able to share my mother's burdens."

From that day on, Princess Anping began to send things to the girls' school from time to time.

Sometimes it was food and drink, sometimes it was simply silver, and it was all delivered to the female official so she could decide how to distribute it.

The lady-in-waiting looked at the things sent by Princess Anping and felt a mix of emotions.

She could accept the food and drinks, and have them distributed among the people, but she really dared not accept the silver.

Long before Wen Yuanshu had obtained the Empress Dowager's decree to allow her to stay at the girls' school, a batch of silver was sent to her. It was said that the Empress Dowager had given her the money specifically for managing the girls' school, and there was still a lot left over, so it was all sent to her at once.

Now, before those silver coins have even been spent, Princess Anping has sent more silver coins.

The lady-in-waiting dared not accept the money and hurriedly ordered it to be returned. However, Princess Anping sent the money back again, saying that she had been working hard managing the girls' school and that if the school didn't need it, then it was hers.

This added to the female official's astonishment.

However, when someone offers you money, how can you refuse it?

Seeing that she accepted the money, Princess Anping became even more enthusiastic in giving her more silver.

The lady-in-waiting felt really bad and declined several times, but Princess Anping insisted on not accepting it. Helpless, the lady-in-waiting could only leave all the silver behind with a heavy heart.

Since you've accepted their money, you should naturally treat them with more respect.

Princess Anping noticed the change in her attitude towards her and couldn't help but feel happy.

This female official is indeed easy to please. Just a few hundred taels of silver were enough to make her completely obedient.

With that, the next step of the plan can begin.

-

That evening, when the girls' school should have been letting out, Princess Anping chose to arrive at that exact moment.

When the lady-in-waiting heard that she had arrived, she hurriedly went to greet her: "Greetings, Your Highness."

Upon seeing her, Princess Anping smiled slightly: "Get up quickly, there's no need to be so polite with me."

The lady-in-waiting stood up as instructed: "Your Highness, why have you come at this hour?"

"Having nothing to do at the Princess's residence, I thought I'd come and take a look," Princess Anping said with a smile. "Where is Wen Yuanshu?"

"Miss Wen doesn't come often these days."

Upon hearing this, Princess Anping couldn't help but scoff: "It seems that Miss Wen is truly blessed. She has the Empress Dowager's backing to establish this girls' school, and now she's gone and left everything to you."

However, Princess Anping felt a little better when she talked about something else.

That is, after the girls' school was opened, the people in the capital who talked about and praised it were not Wen Yuanshu, but the girls' school and the Empress Dowager.

Poor Wen Yuanshu was busy doing all this, but it was all for someone else's benefit.

Thinking of this, Princess Anping's smile became more genuine.

The female official did not respond.

The establishment of this girls' school was entirely thanks to Wen Yuanshu. Otherwise, I'm afraid that even after another ten or twenty years, no one would have thought of building a girls' school. For this alone, Wen Yuanshu deserves great credit.

Moreover, not everyone in this world has the courage and determination to retire gracefully. The female official admired Wen Yuanshu's wisdom.

Seeing that the lady-in-waiting remained silent, Princess Anping flicked her wide sleeves and said, "Alright, since I'm here, let's call that Miss Wen who's enjoying her retirement to come too. Anyway, she has nothing to do at home all day."

"……Yes."

After watching the female official give instructions to the servants, Princess Anping then began to stroll around the girls' school.
