The True Heiress Is a Jianghu Woman

I was the easiest true heiress in the capital to get rid of. I went to the capital to collect a debt, but before I could find the debtor, I discovered that I was actually the long-lost daughter of a minister. With my usual bluntness, I said, “I know people like you look down on women like me who roam the jianghu. Just give me one hundred taels of silver, and I’ll disappear at once. I won’t disturb your life of wealth and privilege ever again!” I’d read plenty of storybooks about true and false heiresses. My parents already had an eldest daughter who was well-read, well-mannered, and famous throughout the capital. They also had a son with a boundless future ahead of him. If I returned, I would definitely damage their reputation. No one in the Minister’s Mansion said a word. I thought my outrageous demand had frightened them. After a moment of hesitation, I added, “If that really won’t do, then give me fifty taels.” Any less, however, was out of the question. Because my senior brother was waiting for that money to save his life. My parents still said nothing, troubled looks appearing on their faces. Then my elder sister suddenly dropped to her knees with a thud and said, “Father, Mother, I’m willing to return the marriage arrangement to my younger sister.”
