Her Husband Dies in Battle, So She Marries into the Marquis's Household for Good Luck and Wreaks Havoc

The Grand Secretary’s family was implicated in a scandal, and the whole household was demoted.

To repay a debt of gratitude, the legitimate daughter, Chu Xiyao, married into the Marquis of Dingyuan’s household to bring her sick groom good fortune.

For a time, the whole capital waited to see her make a fool of herself.

Chu Xiyao only smiled. “Better to take out my frustration on others than turn it against myself.”

On her second day in the household, she bluntly drove away the so-called relatives who wanted to seize her shops, and her reputation spread throughout the capital in an instant.

Inside the marquis’s household, the second branch caused trouble and the third branch schemed behind her back. She slapped them all down one by one. Outside, Chu Xiyao made several shops flourish, earning everyone’s envy.

The demoted Grand Secretary’s family expected to live in hardship for a while. Instead, supplies arrived in the capital nonstop, along with some production manuals.

Not only did they avoid hardship, they lived better and better. Even the people in the prefecture they governed benefited, escaping poverty and becoming prosperous.

At last, the world understood: she was no pitiful little white rabbit like they had imagined. She was a force of nature!

On the battlefield, the heir who should have died long ago stared in shock at the successive deliveries of supplies from the capital. “How did I end up with a wife after dying once?”
