A Wealthy Maidservant, Forced Into the Household’s Schemes?

To repay her cousin’s family for saving her life, Shen Qingtang meekly marries into the Marquis of Wu’an’s household to help her cousin keep her husband’s affections. Little does she know that the man she marries is none other than Zhao Yuan, the notorious executioner of the Eastern Palace and Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. Shen Qingtang tries her best to keep her secret identity as the richest merchant in the Mu Kingdom under wraps, but he sees right through her. “Good girl, Tang’er. Where did all this money come from?” Zhao Yuan corners her against the wall, his eyes cold. “I... I earned it through hard work and honest business...” Shen Qingtang nervously clutches her sleeve. “Oh? I didn’t know there was any legitimate business that could earn enough to fill a state treasury.” Zhao Yuan smiles faintly. The most profitable methods are all written into the laws of their Mu Kingdom. “It seems Tang’er hasn’t been telling the truth...” He has plenty of ways to deal with a disobedient little thing.
