After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Guangwentang was the first choice for scions of prominent families, and also a place that poor students longed for.

Therefore, after Emperor Jingyang took office, he implemented reforms and added the Hanchuang Garden to the Guangwen Hall, which was specially prepared for poor people who had passed the prefectural examination.

Students who excelled in Hanchuangyuan could study alongside the scions of prominent families in Guangwentang, such as Zeng Jitian.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he knew Wu Wenyuan, the son of the Minister.

But when it came to scions of aristocratic families, Xiao Ran felt nothing but sarcasm. What Guangwentang?

It's just a place where high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital "earn" a future for their children—as long as you have money, you can get things done.

She discovered it by chance in a letter in Shen Shaorong's study in her previous life.

The letter stated that Shen Shaorong had sent his distant cousin to Guangwentang, and the headmaster replied promising to take good care of his cousin.

However, this had nothing to do with women, since women were not allowed to serve as officials in the imperial court.

However, based on examples from his previous life, Xiao Ran estimated that women could buy the corresponding reputation simply by spending some silver.

The servant quickly led Xiao Ran into the courtyard. She looked around and found it extremely quiet, with only the sound of students reading aloud. She thought to herself that this place was not much different from her previous life.

Upon arriving at the school gate, the servant respectfully withdrew, leaving only Xiao Ran and He Wan, who was carrying a schoolbag.

Xiao Ran glanced at He Wan, then lifted the curtain and went inside.

It was autumn, and the weather was crisp and clear. Guangwen Hall was divided into different levels, and Xiao Ran's school was the lowest level, Ding Hall—it was full of children who didn't study hard, so there were hardly any students from poor families.

The hall was filled with laughter and playful noise. Books were scattered everywhere, and two people rushed towards the door, almost bumping into Xiao Ran, but luckily she reacted in time and dodged.

He Wan wasn't so lucky. Whether she did it on purpose or not, she was bumped into and even cried out in surprise.

Perhaps it was this unfamiliar tone that drew the attention of everyone in the hall, until they saw Xiao Ran and were stunned.

This is… Xiao Ran? She actually returned to Guangwen Hall?! Didn't she hate reading the most? Did she change her personality, or did General Xiao force her?

However, most people preferred the latter, so they all looked at a man who was sleeping on the table.

The noise suddenly stopped in the man's ears. He thought the teacher had arrived, so he scratched his head in a daze, opened his eyes, and saw that everyone was looking at him.

He snapped, "Why are you all staring at me like that?"

No one answered, so he looked towards the door, searching for the Master's figure, until... he saw Xiao Ran.

The man was extremely surprised and exclaimed, "...Xiao Ran! What brings you here?"

Xiao Ran looked over and smiled; it was Nangong Ming.

Yes, how could she forget? Ding Tang used to be a mess because of those two clowns.

The teacher disliked them and would often make them stand outside as punishment, but they would always climb over the wall to go out and play.

Moreover, this is also the place where Nangong Ming and He Wan fell in love.

Xiao Ran walked over and sat down next to Nangong Ming. The movement was swift and seemingly without any problem, and she did not answer Nangong Ming's question.

While rummaging through her book bag and arranging the books, Xiao Ran tidied up the mess Nangong Ming had made on the desk, ignoring him completely until he nudged her arm.

"Why are you ignoring me?"

Xiao Ran didn't turn her head, only saying, "Father said that I should study hard."

Nangong Ming was a little angry. What did he mean by studying diligently? It was obvious that he wasn't studying diligently at all!

He turned around, about to argue, when he suddenly saw the woman helping Xiao Ran carry her book bag.

"Huh? Why is it you?"
