Daily Life Among the Poor Relations of an Ancient Marquis's Estate

After transmigrating, Li Mingyu became the Third Miss of the Li family.

The Li family had once been prosperous, with several houses and hundreds of acres of fertile land. Sadly, each generation was worse off than the last, and by the time of Li Mingyu's father, all that remained was an ancestral home long overdue for repairs.

When Li Mingyu arrived, her father had been tricked into racking up a mountain of debt. The creditors came to collect, offering them two choices: sell the house or sell their daughter.

Her mother clutched her belly, nearly at term, and wept and wailed until she could barely catch her breath.

Her two older sisters threatened to kill themselves. The eldest said she'd dash her head against a wall, while the second hurried to find someone to marry.

With the family on the verge of ruin or death, Li Mingyu racked her brains all night and managed to come up with a prestigious match that could save the Li family.

Early the next morning, she got ready, took a chicken in her left hand and a duck in her right, and brought her young brother to the Marquis of Huaiyang's residence to ask for a handout.
