Chapter 2414: Chapter 2411: New School
“They’ll only find it harder to accept and won’t want to get involved with the secrets of wealthy families. Even if there’s a free school, they’re likely too afraid to send their children to study there, just like these moners hesitate to work in houses of landowners with bad reputations.”
“Well, although there’s some impact, it’s not significant. I’ll resolve it within a month.”
“Reputation…” Ye Muyu suddenly said, “I have a solution.”
“What?” Gao Yunli asked expectantly.
Ye Muyu looked at him and said calmly, “I’ll write another book within half a month. The protagonist of this book will be a child from a poor family who relies on entering the Yonghe free school to study, earns fame, and brings glory to the family.”
Upon hearing this, Gao Yunli immediately brightened: “Lady, you indeed have a solution. If this book is published in the official newspaper, Great Chu will know about Yonghe School’s reputation. With reputation, the previous issues bee trivial matters.”
“Since that’s the case, follow the original plan. In half a month, the book will be published.” Ye Muyu instructed Gao Yunli to proceed with the tasks.
Meanwhile, she quickly sent her previously written book on female reform, “Silk,” to the bookstore and Official Gazette Office.
There are officials dedicated to manuscript review at the Official Gazette Office. Ye Muyu did not plan to use any personal connections but instead left the decision-making to the officials of the official newspaper.
She wouldn’t test the conscience of these officials now.
Even though these officials were initially recruited by Chu Heng, they might not necessarily support Chu Heng without hesitation. It’s only human nature, as long as they don’t actively target her and the Chu family, she wouldn’t mind.

Later, she was busy every day. After taking care of Chu Heng, she made use of her spare time to write her new book “New School.”
Unbeknownst to her, shortly after her manuscript was submitted, it was quickly discovered by the reviewing officials who found it extremely remarkable. However, due to the content being too feminist, it made the reviewing officials unfortable. But upon seeing the pen name, they dared not conceal it and hurriedly reported to Yan Zhenming and Xu Chan. The two quickly forwarded it overnight to Minister Zhong’s residence.
A few days later.
This new article began serializing in the official newspaper.
Even the bathhouse received the first copy of the manuscript, faster than the official newspaper.
Ye Muyu learned of the news, paused momentarily with no real reaction, though slightly surprised. She was pleased for Chu Heng, at least he didn’t raise a betrayer. She didn’t expect any help, as long as no harm was done, it was already good enough.
Another day passed.
Su Mei quickly entered the room.
She whispered to Ye Muyu: “Lady, Zhu San has sent news over. He’s saying Minister Qi recently dispatched someone to Jiangnan. An hour ago, he found out the specifics, saying they were sent to Jiangnan Academy because of Wang Qianmao. It seems like they’re planning to target Wang Qianmao and want to control him. Should we send someone to intervene?”
Ye Muyu pondered slightly and understood why. The Qi family managed to thrive in Jiangnan largely due to the scholars from Jiangnan Academy.
It’s worth noting that King Qi once studied at Jiangnan Academy, and has a master-student relationship with these scholars, which other Princes cannot pare with.
Even the more favored Prince Rong can’t match it. Jiangnan has always been wealthy, and with the opening of maritime trade now, it will only bee increasingly prosperous.
