Chapter 173 Unleashing a Bloodbath



She has seven children and often relies on her maternal family for financial assistance.

Things are different now. The money I earned in just ten days is more than what my family back home earns in a year.

This made her feel proud and vindicated. When she went back to her parents' home, she could see who dared to say she had married badly.

Madam Yang now has only one thought: it's a pity that the Marquis of Anping isn't the emperor, otherwise, life would be much better.
