The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Plum Blossom Fragrance!

An Mi paused slightly, then looked away, fixing her gaze on Cheng Ying. Remembering how she met Cheng Ying, her brow furrowed slightly. She recalled that in her past life, Mei Yingxue had mentioned that her true acquaintance with Liu Zhan occurred in Rongjin City, where Liu Zhan had saved her. Could it be…? An Mi's eyes flashed with a hint of irony. In her past life, Mei Yingxue had probably come to Rongjin City because of Mei Ningxiang, which led to her supposed true acquaintance with Liu Zhan!

She had never met Mei Ningxiang in her previous life.

As Mei Ningxiang was pondering this peacefully, she heard a mocking voice...

"Oh, who do we have here? It's that abandoned wife of someone else. What are you doing here? Do you know where this place is? How dare an abandoned wife like you come here?" Mei Ningxiang also saw Cheng Ying. Naturally, she wanted to trample on Li Lang's ex-wife whenever possible. She thought that since Li Lang divorced that woman, she must be living a miserable life. Yes, in this world, it's already a miracle for a divorced woman with a child to survive.

But Cheng Ying was standing right in front of her today, in the governor's villa. How could she be here? What gave her the right to be here?

As Mei Ningxiang spoke, she walked over, accompanied by other young ladies. Although this was Rong Jincheng, upon hearing that she was the second young lady of the Mei family in Jicheng, they naturally vied to curry favor with her.

Cheng Ying still bit her lip tightly but didn't say anything. Her brows furrowed even more. Without thinking, she could guess Cheng Ying's feelings at this moment. Cheng Ying didn't say it, but she must have hated one of the culprits who drove her to divorce.

"Ha! Still mute? I told you to tell me how you sneaked in, won't you talk?" Mei Ningxiang walked up to Cheng Ying, and suddenly raised her hand, slapping Cheng Ying hard across the face.

An Mi was startled, and subconsciously reached out. In a flash, she grabbed An Mi's wrist and stopped An Mi's slap from coming down.

Mei Ningxiang's plan failed, and she glared fiercely at the woman who was grabbing her wrist. When she saw the veiled woman, she frowned and said, "Who are you? If you meddle in my business, I'll beat you up too."

A slight smile played on Anmi's lips beneath her veil, and a cool voice flowed slowly from beneath it, "Want to fight together? Then you should try it. I'm definitely going to meddle in this kind of thing."

Why meddle? Cheng Ying is now her right-hand woman, and naturally she will protect her people. Not to mention Mei Ningxiang's sister named Mei Yingxue, who is someone she hates, even if she is not Mei Yingxue's sister, anyone who wants to hit her will have to get past her first.

Even if it was Cheng Ying's fault, she would still protect Cheng Ying. An Mi is known for her protectiveness!

Mei Ningxiang's arrogance was ignited. "Do you even know who I am?"

"Oh? Who are you? I really don't know who you are." An Mi raised an eyebrow and smiled, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

Mei Ningxiang was at a loss, her wrist still in An Mi's hand. She was surprised at how strong this woman's grip was. Even though she wanted to break free, she couldn't. She glared at the woman fiercely and said, "Do you know the Mei family of Jicheng? I am the second young lady of the Mei family of Jicheng, Mei Ningxiang."

An Mi chuckled softly, her voice still indifferent, "The second young lady of the Mei family in Jicheng? So what?"

“You…” Mei Ningxiang’s face turned pale.

"What about me? Is it wrong for me not to know you're the second young lady of the Mei family in Jicheng? Or is it a heinous crime? Hmph, today, let me get to know you, Mei Ningxiang, the second young lady of the Mei family in Jicheng!" An Mi's eyes flashed with a strange light, and the next moment, An Mi shouted loudly to the people around her, "Everyone, come and see, this is Mei Ningxiang, the second young lady of the Mei family. She's just using the fact that the Mei family is a powerful family in Jicheng to act arrogantly in our Rongjin City. She's about to hit someone!"

As soon as An Mi finished speaking, everyone around turned to look at her. Mei Ningxiang never expected that the veiled woman would use such a trick. Seeing everyone looking at her and pointing, her face turned pale and then red. "I... no, it's not what she said. Don't believe her. She was the one who grabbed my hand. I didn't want to hit anyone!"

"Ha! Isn't that so?" An Mi chuckled softly. "How can you be so vicious, woman? You forced a man to divorce his wife so you could marry him. Well, now that his wife is gone, you're satisfied. But why are you bullying her now?"

An Mi's words caused an uproar among those present, and their gazes toward Mei Ningxiang changed.

"Why is she like this?"

"She's trying to wipe us all out!"

People around were gossiping. Those present were all prominent wives of Rong Jincheng. These wives knew all too well what it was like to be treated like this. They had all encountered one or two arrogant concubines who took advantage of the emperor's favor and had suffered their mistreatment. Which wife would willingly be forced to leave the family like this? No one! Therefore, they despised Mei Ningxiang even more.

Mei Ningxiang's expression became even more unnatural. "Nonsense, she's talking nonsense!"

How did this woman know? Could it be that that bitch Cheng Ying told her?

Cheng Ying, who had been silent all along, took a deep breath, but no longer dared to remain silent. She spoke loudly, "That's right, she's not lying. I am the divorced wife. This woman, relying on her powerful family, stole my husband!"

The crowd erupted in uproar again. Mei Ningxiang glared fiercely at Cheng Ying, "You divorced woman! You're incompetent and you're blaming me? Look, everyone, this is the divorced woman, the one who was dumped!"

An Mi looked at Cheng Ying and saw that she was calm and composed. An Mi was relieved. She had been worried that Cheng Ying would not be able to let go of the past, but she also knew that Cheng Ying had to face all of this and let go completely in order to have the confidence to face a better future. And at this moment, Cheng Ying had obviously done so.

The next moment, Cheng Ying slowly spoke, "Yes, I am a divorced woman. I was ignorant and left with my daughter. Fortunately, I met my benefactor. She gave me hope for the future. Who says that a divorced woman can only hide in the shadows and spend the rest of her life in silence? We have children, so naturally we must work hard for their future!"

These words silenced everyone present, who all stared at Cheng Ying. She was truly different from other divorced women. However, according to long-standing tradition… divorced women were considered unlucky…

"She...she seems to be the female manager of Shengshi Lieyan..."

“Yes, I recognized her too. I heard that this female manager, like the female boss, rarely shows her face. However, that day, when I went to Shengshi Lieyan, I happened to run into the female manager coming out, and I only caught a glimpse of her. It really seemed to be her.”
