You Want to Poison Me? I'll Make Every Cloth Shop in the City Kneel and Call Me Ancestor

[Strong Female Lead] [No Romance] [Reborn] [System] [Face-Slapping] [Farming] [All-Female Main Cast]

I traveled with my father for ten years as an escort, tasted blood on the edge of a blade, and risked my life on horseback.

Yet one ladle of poisoned soup was enough to kill me.

I never imagined that the day my mother-in-law poisoned me, the entire Xiao family would be dividing up my dowry.

I sat back up.

Heavenly Reckoning Bureau: Host, looking for a fight? How perfect. This System specializes in putting all kinds of troublemakers in their place.

A pleasure doing business with you~

I took back my dowry with my own hands.

I settled the score face-to-face.

For anyone who still refused to accept it, I simply wiped the blood from between my fingers and bowed my head.

"Come on. On to the next family."

A crowd of women followed behind me.

She had been poisoned to death once. Her dowry had been divided up, and the Xiao family had fallen apart beneath her slap.

After that, one thing followed another:

She picked up an accountant who pretended to be lazy and foolish.

She took in a tailor who was nearly starving to death.

She welcomed a widow who came looking for her, pushing a handcart.

Finally, a plaque arrived from the imperial palace.

The day every cloth shop in the city joined forces to shut her out, four people squatted by the stove.

"Are we opening again tomorrow?"

"We are."

Later, the whole city knelt and called her their ancestor.

Someone nearby muttered, "Why on earth did you provoke her?"

She wiped the blood from her hands and glanced back toward the stove.

The bowls were still warm.
