What?! Before My Exile, I Emptied the Emperor’s Private Treasury

After transmigrating, Chu Ci becomes the real daughter in a story about a true and fake heiress, and gets saddled with all the misery. Forced to take medicine, married off in someone else’s place, then exiled? The whole package? No worries. I have a pocket dimension, and I’ve got gold and silver. If my relatives won’t act like family, they can hand over their property as compensation. Seems fair! The emperor is blind as a bat, so I’ll take his private treasury as collateral. Go ahead and cry! Everyone thinks the elderly, frail Grand Tutor won’t survive the journey into exile. Not so, not so. With spiritual spring water and miraculous medicine keeping them going, the Grand Tutor’s family is as strong as tigers. Bandits and pirates run rampant along the border in Lingnan, but they have powerful weapons and armor to defend against them. Miasma chokes the land, food is scarce, and the people suffer. High-yield crops bring them fame. And so, the capital is thrown into an uproar... At court the next morning, the Minister of Revenue, the emperor’s elderly uncle, and the head of the imperial clan all stepped forward to make their case to the emperor. “Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor’s family is noble and steadfastly loyal. They could never betray the country. Please reopen the investigation into the First Prince’s case and clear the Grand Tutor’s family of all charges.” “Granted!” The emperor appeared composed, but inwardly he was groaning. “A ruler’s word is law? I may be the most spectacularly humiliated emperor in history!”
