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

After saying that, Madam Wen gave Wen Yuanshu a look: "Yuanshu, don't worry, I'll go with your second brother, and I guarantee that Princess Anping will never be able to stir up any more trouble!"

Wen Yuanshu opened her eyes, still looking completely bewildered.

What's going on here?

"Alright, if you're sleepy, go back to sleep," said Madam Wen, her expression softening. "You don't need to worry about things outside."

After saying that, Madam Wen tucked the blanket around Wen Yuanshu again, then got up and left.

Wen Yuanshu frowned, trying to wake up, but she hadn't slept for long. Her mind was a complete mess, and she fell into a deep sleep again.

I slept until noon before waking up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Chengyuan sitting by the bed.

"He's awake." Lu Chengyuan raised an eyebrow.

Wen Yuanshu hummed in agreement and was about to get up when Lu Chengyuan bent down, put his arm around her waist, and picked her up in his arms: "Lunch is ready, let's eat inside?"

Wen Yuanshu nodded.

After a quick wash, lunch was already served.

"By the way," Wen Yuanshu sat down at the table, recalling that she seemed to have been woken up while half-asleep, "I heard something happened on Baishui Street?"

Lu Chengyuan glanced at her and asked, "You just woke up, where did you hear that from?"

"My mother seemed to have come by this morning."

Lu Chengyuan nodded: "That's true. Princess Anping made this too obvious. Anyone who knows the inside story can guess it was her."

"I have received His Majesty's decree. How to handle this matter is up to us."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanshu was startled: "How could His Majesty possibly issue an edict on this matter?"

“Those were the late emperor’s secret guards; even His Majesty is unaware of their existence,” Lu Chengyuan said.

With just one sentence, Wen Yuanshu understood.

There are many things that an emperor can ignore, but he cannot be unaware of.

Moreover, this is a group of highly capable secret guards; to put it bluntly, this is already a potential threat.

"So what are you planning to do?" Wen Yuanshu asked curiously.

"What do you want to do?" Lu Chengyuan asked in return.

“I…” Wen Yuanshu suddenly sighed, “I was still half asleep when I knew I almost didn’t survive last night, and I’m still not over it.”

Lu Chengyuan chuckled and took her hand: "Don't worry, you'll definitely live to be a hundred."

Wen Yuanshu's cheeks flushed slightly.

“But then again,” Lu Chengyuan said, “would you be able to get over this if you didn’t get involved?”

Lu Chengyuan had already figured it out before Wen Yuanshu even got divorced.

This person, if wronged, will be willing to sacrifice himself to get revenge.

“Hmm…” Wen Yuanshu thought for a moment, “There is a way to deal with someone like Princess Anping, which should be the most effective.”

"Oh?" Lu Chengyuan's eyebrows twitched slightly.

The two looked into each other's eyes and smiled at the same time.

-

Not long after the meal was finished, the female official came over.

She had also heard about what happened on Baishui Street.

Seeing that Wen Yuanshu was unharmed, the female official breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm late, please forgive me, young lady."

She didn't get up until almost noon, and as soon as she heard about it, she ate lunch and rushed over.

Wen Yuanshu shook her head, invited her to sit down, and said, "You were supposed to rest today, why did you come?"

The lady-in-waiting sighed and took out a booklet: "This is the silver that the Princess sent to me a few days ago."

Wen Yuanshu's eyebrows twitched slightly as she took the booklet and glanced at it.

"Eight hundred taels of silver were sent in half a month. The Princess is truly generous." Wen Yuanshu's voice carried a hint of coldness.

The lady-in-waiting couldn't help but feel uneasy: "I was thinking that since the Princess gave me money, I should naturally be respectful to her. I wonder if the Princess misunderstood something, which is why she attacked you, young lady..."

Actually, she wasn't stupid; how could she not see that Princess Anping was trying to win her over?

At that time, she only thought that Princess Anping was trying to win her over so that she could have a say in the girls' school. She never expected that Princess Anping wanted to take action against Wen Yuanshu!

Even Princess Anping thought she had already submitted, let alone others, so if you investigate further, you won't be able to escape either.
