A Little Concubine, Supporting the Entire Household
For ten taels of silver, Cui Xi is sent by her own mother into the Minister's household.

Minister Zhou Yan is an upright man, yet he always gives way to others. His colleagues bully him, his half-brother runs wild, and everyone dares to walk all over him. The moment Cui Xi enters the household, she talks back on the master's behalf and stands up for the old madam, making life difficult for those who bully the weak. Unexpectedly, a written accusation draws everyone into a grain-relief embezzlement case.

She also gradually teaches the Zhou family, who are accustomed to swallowing their grievances, to finally speak up for themselves!
