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

Sure enough, she came right after finishing her meal.

Wen Yuanshu took the booklet and listened to her finish speaking. She understood her purpose: "Sir, there is no need to be nervous. You just need to continue to do your job well. The girls' school is in a great position because of you."

Hearing her words, the female official breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, then I will return all the silver when I get back."

“No need,” Wen Yuanshu said. “It’s given by the Princess, so why not accept it? It’s fine for you to keep it.”

Returning it would only benefit Princess Anping.

Upon hearing this, the female official stopped mentioning the matter: "Then, young lady, what are you planning to do next?"

“Next…” Wen Yuanshu lowered her head and chuckled, “it’s time to give them a taste of their own medicine again.”

The female official quickly replied, "If you need anything, young lady, I am willing to do my best to help."

Having come from the palace, she saw things very clearly. The reason the princess was treating her so well was because she was going to take action against Wen Yuanshu.

If Wen Yuanshu were gone, she would only become a pawn in the hands of the Eldest Princess.

Rather than being manipulated by others, the female official naturally wanted to be in charge herself.

Wen Yuanshu's gaze fell on her, a faint smile in her eyes: "There is indeed something I need your help with, sir."

Wen Yuanshu spoke with the female official for a while before having someone escort her away.

The female official had just left when Lu Chengyuan came out: "Is it settled?"

Wen Yuanshu nodded: "Anyway, the Eldest Princess was originally planning to win over that official anyway, so let the Eldest Princess think she has succeeded."

Lu Chengyuan nodded, stretched, and sat down next to Wen Yuanshu.

This way, he can finally have some free time.

Wen Yuanshu took a sip of tea and said, "By the way, it seems my second brother and sister-in-law are about to do something. Is that alright?"

“It’s alright,” Lu Chengyuan said. “The secret guards can’t be exposed to the light of day. Even if that person suffers a loss, he wouldn’t dare to speak out. Although your second brother is really not good at other things, he shouldn’t leave any evidence in this area. Otherwise, he might as well go back to his hometown and farm.”

The Wen family has always valued Wen Yuanshu. This time, Princess Anping is after Wen Yuanshu's life. If the Wen family can tolerate this, then they are not the Wen family.

Back then, the Wen family wasn't content with just winning battles; they drove the barbarians a hundred miles away, so much so that even with their leader dead, they dared not cause a fuss.

Hearing his words, Wen Yuanshu felt somewhat helpless.

Whether they're face-to-face or in private, these two people would never say a single good word about each other.

“…The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon,” Wen Yuanshu said. “I heard there will be dragon boat races this year. It should be very lively.”

It is said that they came from Lingnan.

She was looking forward to it.

Lu Chengyuan nodded: "Definitely, I'll have to get up earlier that day."

Dragon boat races are mostly held in the morning, so if you arrive late, you might not get a good spot.

“But it’s okay if you want to sleep a little longer, I can send someone over first,” Lu Chengyuan said.

Wen Yuanshu shook her head: "I can get up."

It's definitely more fun to do these things yourself.

Lu Chengyuan looked at her, a smile playing on his dark eyes as if he had thought of something: "You'd better be able to."

Night fell quickly, and all was quiet.

True to their word, Wen Tianming and his second wife wiped out Princess Anping's secret guards that very night, leaving no survivors.

Princess Anping only learned of this news the following morning.

Although she knew from the beginning that the Wen family was not to be trifled with, she never expected them to be so arrogant!

How dare the Wen family sneak into the Princess's residence in the middle of the night to commit murder!

Those were the last things the late emperor left her to rely on!

Princess Anping was so angry that she fainted and collapsed onto the bed.

The servants scrambled to find the royal physician.

After much effort, Princess Anping was finally revived.

Princess Anping was listless and waved for all the servants to leave, leaving only Princess Jieyou by her side.
