Yan Xi was unconcerned. She didn't mind, as she wouldn't be spending her own money.
She didn't see anything shameful in her situation; after all, it was Tong Rao's doing. Had she grown up in a privileged family and received the best education from a young age, she could be as accomplished as Gu Yang and others.

Instead, Tong Rao promptly arranged for Yan Xi's household register to be moved to the Tong family, changing her name to Tong Yanxi.
