Xue Xingyao didn't want to waste any more time on Chen Shujing.
After her mother's birthday celebration, she was going to the Xu Family to work as a tutor.
This was the first time she had ever stepped out of the inner courtyard to earn a living. Even though it wouldn't bring in many Silver Tael, the matter was deeply significant to Xue Xingyao.
She had finally found her own worth.
The books she had read, the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting she had learned, her skills in managing a household and its accounts—none of it was just for the sake of marrying into a good family and being someone's virtuous wife anymore.
The invisible ropes that bound her had loosened. A sense of longing grew in Xue Xingyao's heart; she yearned to break free and see what the world outside was truly like.
Xue Xingyao didn't want to waste her energy on meaningless people and matters.
She was completely done with Chen Shujing. She had no desire to even sit down and talk with him.
