The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

The woman beside her frowned, her eyes initially showing surprise. She knew her daughter well; normally, she wouldn't touch a single needlework task if asked to do it, but now…

After thinking it over carefully, the lady hesitated for a long time, looked at Miss Yan, and then at the two princes. To be honest, she was also afraid that her daughter would meet the wrong person, and since she had not given birth to a son, she could not help her daughter. If that day really came, she would not be at peace even if she died!

Finally, the lady twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at An Mi, "This...you'll have to see if Miss Yan is willing to teach me!"

These words clearly indicated her attitude. Upon hearing this, the daughter looked at An Mi expectantly, "Miss Yan, even if a woman isn't divorced, will Shengshi Lieyan still take her in?"

An Mi's eyes flickered. She hadn't expected such an outcome, but the result before her was truly wonderful!

“If Miss is willing, then Prosperous Flame is naturally willing to teach. However… there are some agreements involved. Oh, those agreements are just to protect the interests of both parties.” An Mi said softly. How could she not accept it? Of course she would accept it, but she had to be careful. She originally had a plan to expand Prosperous Flame, and now it had provided her with many conveniences.

"Alright, alright, I, Mengli, will come to Shengshi Lieyan to find Miss Yan tomorrow!" the woman said happily.

The other women were also eager to try, all looking at the woman with the white veil covering her face with longing, as if they all hoped to break free from their shackles, break free from their worries and fears, and have the ability to take control of their own lives.

An Mi observed the reactions of the women before her. Originally, she thought that after what had just happened, many ladies and young women would like Shengshi Lieyan even more and would be even more enthusiastic about Shengshi Lieyan's products. She thought that Shengshi Lieyan's business would be even more booming tomorrow. However, she did not expect that after what had just happened, Shengshi Lieyan's business would be better than just business. Many women were already tempted, weren't they?

Just as An Mi had thought, Bai Yi knew that Shengshi Lieyan would be very busy tomorrow, and An Mi... this woman would probably have to work even harder!

At this moment, in addition to feeling pity, he also felt that the white dress was even more dazzling and stunning!

A hint of warmth appeared in the eyes of the King of Donglin. It seemed that things were about to turn upside down in his territory. However... he was somewhat looking forward to seeing that scene and was unwilling to suppress this "treasonous" act!

“Brother-in-law! Look at this woman, she’s so deceitful, what will happen to her in the future…” Yu Ling’er naturally couldn’t stand Miss Bu Yan. Just by looking at the way her brother-in-law looked at her, she knew that he was probably bewitched by this woman.

No, no, my brother-in-law is hers, how can he be attracted to another woman?

Just as Yu Ling'er was about to say something, she heard the man beside her speak in a deep voice, which seemed to have grown even colder, "Ling'er, if you are tired, I will send someone to take you back!"

Yu Ling'er's heart skipped a beat, and she dared not say another word. She naturally knew what her brother-in-law meant. Sending her back was not to the villa in Rongjin City, nor to the Donglin Prince's Mansion in Jicheng, but to her home in the capital—the Yu Mansion!

How...how can this be? How can she leave her brother-in-law? She's already doing this much with him by her side; if she leaves, how can she possibly feel at ease?

Yu Ling'er immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word. However, the look in her eyes as she gazed at the woman in the white veil was even more sinister and vicious!

Her resolve was even stronger: Miss Yan, I, Yu Ling'er, will never let you steal my brother-in-law away!

Madam Liu, who was standing to the side, had already clenched her fists. In her eyes, Miss Yan's words were nothing but nonsense. At this moment, the way those people looked at Miss Yan had become even more eager, which further provoked Madam Liu.

Shengshi Lieyan is the enemy of the Liu family. Even if she wants to obtain Miss Yan's embroidery techniques, she must destroy Shengshi Lieyan. But seeing how popular Shengshi Lieyan is, while the Liu family is in such a dangerous situation, how can she be pleasing to Miss Yan?

"Aren't you going to speak?" Madam Liu said, her voice low but sharp. She was speaking to the lady of the prefecture beside her.

The governor's wife paused for a moment, then tugged at the corners of her mouth before slowly stepping forward. Her gentle voice was exceptionally soothing to the ear, "Is that Miss Yan?"

Everyone looked over at the sound, and An Mi also looked over. What she saw was the Lady of the Prefecture, who was still as gentle and dignified as in her previous life, and her voice was as pleasant as hers. And behind her, who else could it be but Lady Liu?

Looking at Madam Liu's face, it was extremely unpleasant, as if she did not want to see her.

They didn't want to see her? Then why did they have the governor's wife invite her here?

An Mi looked at the Prefectural Lady, a smile appearing on her face, and stepped forward to greet her, "This humble woman greets the Prefectural Lady!"

"No need for formalities, no need for formalities. I've heard of Miss Yan for a long time, but I've never had the chance to meet her. Today, I'm finally able to meet her." The lady of the prefecture reached out and grabbed An Mi's wrist, her attitude very intimate and warm.

“This young lady should pay her a visit to the Prefectural Lady soon.” An Mi echoed, she really didn’t have any ill feelings towards the Prefectural Lady. She was actually wondering how such a gentle woman could have such a good private relationship with such a vicious person as Madam Liu.

Just as she was thinking this, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a strange glint in the eyes of the Prefectural Lady, which were slightly lowered. However, her intuition told her that the malice was not directed at her. Surprised, she saw the Prefectural Lady take Madam Liu's hand with her other hand and say loudly, "Come, Miss Yan, today I want to introduce you to someone, Madam Liu. She is the wife of the richest man in Rongjin City. You should get to know her well!"

Not only Madam Liu, but even An Mi was stunned. The Prefect's wife introduced her to Madam Liu?

An Mi looked at Madam Liu's face, which was already ashen. Madam Liu realized that everyone was looking at her, so she forced a smile, but in her heart she was blaming the Prefectural Lady. What was she doing?

With so many people watching, Madam Liu had no choice but to step forward and put on her usual dignified demeanor. "Miss Yan, we met a little earlier."

An Mi noticed Madam Liu's strange reaction and recalled the strange look that had flashed in the eyes of the Prefectural Lady earlier. She suddenly realized that the reason she was invited here was not Madam Liu's idea, but the Prefectural Lady's idea!

It's clear that Madam Liu doesn't want to see her!

So, did the lady of the prefecture deliberately invite Madam Liu to the villa for a small gathering, knowing full well that Madam Liu did not want to see her?

Rumor has it that the wife of Rong Jincheng's richest man and the wife of the prefectural governor are very close friends, but no one knows exactly how close they are. Now it seems that the rumors are probably wrong!
