Cast Out, I Became the Duke's True Heiress

Wei Jinxiu supported her husband Chen Shiyuan with everything she had until he passed the civil service exam. In return, Chen Shiyuan climbed into the good graces of a powerful family from the capital and plotted with his relatives to kick her out.

Wei Jinxiu: Good, very good!

And so Wei Jinxiu began a series of little moves.

The house where the Chen family lived?

Wei Jinxiu: It’s my house, so I decide what happens to it. I’ll sell it to the Chen family’s enemies.

The servants the Chen family were used to?

Wei Jinxiu: I hold their contracts. I’ll sell the lot to a broker for one silver tael.

Chen Shiyuan is basking in the attention he gets from the powerful family he’s attached himself to?

Wei Jinxiu: As Chen Shiyuan’s legal wife, there’s nothing wrong with borrowing a huge sum of usurious money in his name, is there?

The young lady from the capital is too far along to hide her pregnancy and is pressuring Chen Shiyuan to divorce his old wife?

Wei Jinxiu: Divorce is out of the question, but we can discuss a separation.

After the separation, the Chen family had no time to get excited about their bright future before they realized something was wrong. Wait, where’s my house? Where are my servants? Where did this enormous debt come from???

…

After giving Chen Shiyuan and his powerful new patron a generous parting gift, Wei Jinxiu took the assets she’d sold off and set out to make a clean getaway. But she hadn’t gone far when a middle-aged man grabbed her.

Man: My daughter! I’ve finally found you!

…

The Duke of Dingguo’s household has found their long-lost biological daughter. Plenty of people are waiting to watch the true and fake heiresses claw each other’s eyes out, but this real heiress seems rather different from what they expected.

Later, the true heiress from a small town not only earned the Empress Dowager’s praise, but also married the capital’s most unattainable man.

Someone sneered, “It’s only her second marriage. She’s got plenty of hardship ahead!”

Wei Jinxiu smiled. “Your second marriage and my second marriage aren’t quite the same!”
