Before the divorce, Chen Shujing had resorted to pestering her relentlessly. Xue Xingyao was worried he would try the same tricks again.
After all, to win back Ah Yin, Pei Yan had not only crashed her wedding but also shamelessly stayed in Jiangnan for months.
If the Emperor hadn't passed away, forcing him to return to the Capital City to take control and ascend the throne, he would definitely still be in Jiangnan, refusing to leave.
Chen Shujing and Pei Yan were good friends; he might have learned a thing or two from him.
Fortunately, he didn't show up.
Xue Xingyao's tense nerves gradually relaxed. She only hoped to part on good terms with Chen Shujing and that they would never have to see each other again.
When she married Chen Shujing, the Duke Mansion had prepared a generous dowry for Xue Xingyao.
Now, that dowry had become her family's lifeline.
