Chapter 412: The First Deal
"Mother, I need to go out for a bit tonight."
Initially not planning to go to the town, Xuexue, after lying down in her room for a while, got up and changed her mind.
After all, it's the first business venture she had invested so much in; she would feel at ease only if she kept a close eye on it.
Hearing this, Madam Xie was somewhat startled, turning her head to look at her, "Xuexue, as a young lady, it's not proper for you to be out and about at the Third Watch of the Night instead of resting at home, where are you planning to go?"
Xuexue was already fourteen, and in a month's time, upon her traditional coming-of-age, she would turn fifteen. Other girls her age would normally have matchmakers knocking at their door with marriage proposals. The more matchmakers that came calling, the better the girl's reputation was perceived, and all the good families' sons would want to marry her to bring her home as their wife.
