"General..." the old butler smiled until tears streamed down his face as he faced the memorial tablet. "The young lady not only defended the twelve warehouses, but also let the entire capital know that we in the General's Mansion are not to be trifled with! Look at this golden plaque, look at this account book, and then look at all those dignitaries begging for admission at the gate... If you knew, you would be so proud of her!"

The sandalwood incense in front of the memorial tablet suddenly emitted a puff of green smoke, as if the general was really nodding with a smile. The old housekeeper wiped his eyes and decided to replace the offering with Shen Weiwan's favorite sweet-scented osmanthus candy - that was bought with the money she earned from her first "scam" and now became the "mascot" of the college.

From then on, the old butler became the academy's "honorary advisor." Every day, he would sit in a grand chair at the academy's gate, telling everyone about the old days of the General's Mansion. He would point to the small courtyard where Shen Weiwan was bullied by Liu Shi, then point to the academy now bustling with people, his beard trembling like fallen leaves in the autumn wind: "Do you know? Back then, the eldest lady couldn't even afford a piece of cake, but now she has the Emperor personally present her with a plaque!"

The "Weiwan Trickster School" became the most unique sight in the capital. In the mornings, one could see the Grand Tutor's wife and her maids learning the "candy-hiding-in-the-sleeves trick." In the afternoons, street vendors would hold up their account books and ask for advice on the "chili powder keyhole trick." Even the palace's Shanggong Bureau sent someone to order a "Palace Fighting Trick Prevention Manual." The old butler sat on the porch, watching the students come and go, often stroking his beard and sighing:

"General, how could the young lady be deceiving? She's clearly acting in the name of justice, exposing all her dirty thoughts to the light of day. Look at the life she's living now—it's truly a life of openness and joy!"

The sandalwood incense in the ancestral hall still curled, and amid the wisps of smoke, a deep laugh seemed to echo the old housekeeper's satisfaction. It also witnessed how, in his eyes, the once foolish and bullied daughter of the firstborn had gradually turned a bad hand into a winning one, becoming the most dazzling and satisfying figure in the entire capital. And her career of "deceiving others" had just begun its most exciting prelude.
