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

Meanwhile, Princess Anping seemed tireless, strolling through the girls' school, stopping and starting until it was late at night before she finally finished her visit.

After seeing Princess Anping off, Wen Yuanshu was finally able to find a place to rest for a while.

Chunhua sat down beside her and exclaimed, "I never realized the girls' school was this big before."

The lady-in-waiting chuckled: "Actually, if you walk normally, you can finish sightseeing in half an hour."

It was only because this Princess Anping was too delicate, needing to rest after walking only a few steps, and was exceptionally persistent in wanting to finish visiting the girls' school, that she ended up visiting until this point.

Wen Yuanshu sighed helplessly: "Fortunately, you all have a day off tomorrow, so you can have a good rest."

The female official nodded.

This is a blessing in misfortune.

It's unclear whether Princess Anping was reasonable or just incredibly lucky.

Regardless, it's a good thing for her.

After everyone had a sip of tea, Wen Yuanshu and Chunhua had rested enough, and seeing that it was getting late, they got up and left.

As soon as they stepped out of the girls' school gate, they saw Lu Chengyuan sitting on horseback, and they didn't know how long he had been there.

He wore a star-blue round-necked brocade robe, the folded-down collar revealing a passionflower brocade lining, making him look handsome and noble.

Wen Yuanshu was somewhat surprised: "Why did you come here?"

"I'm here to take you home," Lu Chengyuan dismounted and walked towards her. "It's late at night, I'm worried it might not be safe."

As he spoke, he put his arm around Wen Yuanshu's waist and got into the carriage with her.

As soon as Wen Yuanshu sat down in the carriage, he pulled her into his arms.

Wen Yuanshu pushed twice but couldn't budge it, and said helplessly, "It was fine before, but now I have two bodyguards with me, what is there to worry about?"

Lu Chengyuan remained silent.

When he arrived today, there were about ten people lying on the street.

Wen Yuanshu was inexplicably summoned to the girls' school by Princess Anping today, and was only released at this time. It is now very clear who the secret guards are targeting.

Lu Chengyuan couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.

Thankfully he got out today, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Noticing that Lu Chengyuan seemed a little nervous, Wen Yuanshu felt even more confused.

“It’s so late, and since you’re here, let’s find somewhere to eat,” Wen Yuanshu said.

She was both hungry and tired.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengyuan was taken aback: "You haven't eaten yet, it's so late?"

“No…” Wen Yuanshu said weakly, “I’ve been with that girl since I transferred to the girls’ school.”

The lady-in-waiting suggested that they eat before going sightseeing, but Princess Anping refused, so she has been starving until now.

A dark glint flashed in Lu Chengyuan's eyes, but his tone remained unchanged: "...Okay, let's go eat."

So the carriage changed direction and headed towards the bustling city street.

On the way, Lu Chengyuan suddenly said, as if he had thought of something, "Yuan Shu, if I hadn't come today, were you planning to eat before going back?"

Wen Yuanshu nodded: "Yes."

How can you not eat when you're hungry?

Lu Chengyuan's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

It's so late, if you want to find something to eat, you can only go to the bustling city center.

The bustling street was not close to the girls' school.

If it were a busy street... Wen Yuanshu wouldn't have taken that route.

In other words... even if he hadn't come today, those people wouldn't have succeeded.

In other words, Princess Anping's arrangements were all in vain.

Having figured this out, Lu Chengyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but inwardly mock Princess Anping.

This prince is really something. He calculated everything but failed to consider that people need to eat, and instead caused the deaths of a group of people. It's truly...

-

Even though it's late at night, the bustling streets are still brightly lit.

The roadside restaurants are lined with each other, and in front of each restaurant, dancers perform to attract customers, with cheers rising and falling, creating a lively atmosphere.

Wen Yuanshu lifted the curtain to look outside, randomly chose a restaurant, and got off the carriage with Lu Chengyuan.

The private rooms were already full, so Lu Chengyuan asked the waiter to find a quiet place on the second floor.
