Reborn to Settle Scores: I Emptied the Marquis’s Estate and Married a Powerful Official

In her previous life, Shen Qingtang married into the Xiao family with a vast fortune and spent thirteen years paving the way for them.

Her husband rose from humble origins to become prime minister, while her mother-in-law went from a village woman to a noblewoman with an imperial title.

In return, they drained her of her wealth, demoted her from wife to concubine, and had her turned into a human torso by her husband’s “moonlight” cousin!

Only as she lay dying did she learn that she was the only legitimate daughter of the Duke of Chu’s household, and that the cousin was an impostor!

She was reborn on the day she and her husband divorced.

Scumbag husband: “Shen Qingtang, you reek of money. You’re fit to be nothing but a concubine! If you don’t kneel and apologize, get out of the Xiao family!”

This time, she neither cried nor made a fuss. She simply reached for her abacus.

“You want me to leave? Fine! Let’s settle the accounts.”

“The travel expenses for your trip to the capital to sit the exams, the medicine for your mother’s illness, the money for your sister’s jewelry... I even bought the underpants you’re wearing!”

“That comes to three million eight hundred thousand taels. If you’re short by even one coin, I’ll go to the Golden Throne Hall and petition the Emperor!”

She emptied the family’s storehouses, sending the Xiao family back to square one overnight.

Then she turned around and married the powerful, unhinged Prince Regent, bringing a dowry worth tens of billions.

Later, her former husband and his family struggled in the mire, weeping and begging her to come back.

The Prince Regent kicked them away. “You think you’re allowed to look at my beloved?”
