The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

The governor's wife subtly raised the corners of her mouth, glanced at An Mi, and thought to herself that she had underestimated Miss Yan. She had said she would go to help, but she did not expect that Miss Yan did not need her help at all!

Thinking this, the Prefectural Lady also retreated and sat back in her original seat, showing no intention of paying attention to the matter at hand. She knew that Madam Liu would definitely suffer if she faced this Miss Yan. She had never seen Madam Liu so embarrassed in front of anyone before. It seemed that inviting Miss Yan today was the right thing to do!

Madam Liu covered her face, which stung with pain. Without a doubt, she knew that a mark had been left. Hit her? This Miss Yan actually hit her!

After a moment of blankness, Madam Liu finally came to her senses and slowly looked at Miss Yan, gritting her teeth, "You hit me!"

When has she ever suffered such humiliation?

"So what if I hit you? I'll hit you anyway, and that would just dirty my hands!" An Mi's lips curled into a smile. She was prepared to completely break ties with Madam Liu today, having been confronted in person. She had wanted to hit her for a long time; this woman deserved it, didn't she? She knew Madam Liu's temperament; without provoking her, it would be difficult to completely drop her facade. Seeing the madness flashing in Madam Liu's eyes, An Mi remained remarkably calm. Madness? That was what she wanted, and this was merely the interest she was demanding from Madam Liu!

After Anmi finished speaking, she threw the embroidered handkerchief she had used to wipe her hands on the ground. Her tone was filled with disgust, but also undisguised smugness and arrogance!

"You..." Madam Liu's face turned pale and then red. Who had spoken to her like that? But this Miss Yan before her...

With her anger finally erupting, Madam Liu glared fiercely at Miss Yan and charged towards her. An Mi had recovered her health in the past few days and was no longer as delicate as before. Seeing her charging towards her, she nimbly dodged, and Madam Liu missed her target, staggering and almost falling to the ground.

Anmi, however, had already sided with the other side.

In an instant, the garden descended into chaos. However, the Prefectural Lady remained unfazed. Watching Madam Liu lose her composure in a frenzy, she smiled slightly and whispered to the maid beside her, "Go and invite Master Liu over. He is discussing matters with the Master in the study at the back of the garden."

Upon hearing this, the maid immediately understood and thought to herself, "So, Madam is finally no longer tolerating that Madam Liu? Good, that's wonderful!"

After thinking for a moment, he immediately sneaked off towards the back of the garden...

Since Madam Liu had lost her mind and hadn't hurt Miss Yan, she naturally wouldn't give up. Turning around and seeing Miss Yan, the hatred in her eyes intensified, and she rushed forward again. Just like before, An Mi dodged Madam Liu's attack at the last moment. This time, Madam Liu fell heavily to the ground.

He cried out in pain.

The garden was in chaos. The ladies and young women were all scrambling to avoid each other, afraid of bumping into each other. Only Yu Ling'er sat there properly, seemingly disdainful of the farce and even more displeased that An Mi had successfully avoided Madam Liu several times.

It would be best to bump into Miss Yan and give her a good beating! That way, she won't have to go through the trouble of dealing with her.

Thinking this to herself, a thought flashed through her mind, and Yu Ling'er's eyes narrowed. Seeing Miss Yan coming this way, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth and subtly stretched out her foot forward.

She thought no one had noticed, but the Prefectural Lady saw this scene and, seeing An Mi heading in that direction, immediately said, "Miss Yan, be careful!"

An Mi was already highly vigilant, and after being reminded by the Prefect's wife, she subconsciously glanced at a certain place, her eyes sharpening. When she saw Madam Liu rushing towards her, a strange glint appeared in her eyes. In a flash, An Mi paused, stopping half an inch away from the outstretched foot. Then, in a flash, two exclamations rang out simultaneously.

"what……"

"what……"

An Mi turned around and was shocked to see Madam Liu on top of Yu Ling'er. Both of them looked quite disheveled!

Yu Ling'er, do you want to trip her up? An Mi looked at the Lady of the Prefecture and met her smiling eyes. They smiled at each other.

Anmi turned around and saw a group of men hurrying towards her: Bai Yi, the Prince of Donglin, Liu Zhan, Madam Liu, and even Liu Xuan!

Anmi raised an eyebrow slightly. Ah! Perfect timing! Just as she was thinking this, an angry voice suddenly rang out, "You, what are you doing?"

The angry voice startled everyone. Everyone in the courtyard turned to look in the direction from which the voice came. Upon seeing who it was, many of the ladies who had been laughing loudly because of the two people rolling on the ground together fell silent and stepped aside.

Yu Ling'er and Madam Liu also struggled to get up, but the two were already in a sorry state, and this struggle only made them more tangled and miserable.

Several men approached, their expressions varying as they witnessed the chaotic scene.

Bai Yi glanced at An Mi and saw the faint smile in her eyes. He immediately understood that An Mi was definitely involved in this chaos.

"Master, this... why are you here?" The lady of the prefecture hurriedly stood up and stepped forward, a slight embarrassment on her face. She forced a smile and instructed the maid beside her, "Quickly, quickly help Madam Liu and Miss Yu up. Master, Madam Liu accidentally tripped over Miss Yu..."

That being said, everyone had seen what was happening from a distance when they arrived, and each of them was quite clear about it.

Master Liu stared at Madam Liu on the ground, his face ashen with rage, his teeth chattering. "You... what kind of behavior is this!"

Madam Liu finally regained some semblance of her senses and realized what was happening. She cried out in alarm, and with the help of her maid, she managed to stand up straight. However, after struggling, she was completely disheveled and had lost all her former composure. But seeing Master Liu's grim face, she couldn't care less. "Master, I...I...I...I..."

"What is this? You've disgraced us here! Get back here right now!" Liu Xuan was already in a bad mood, and now his face was even more ashen. He glared fiercely at Madam Liu. These past few days, he had intended to pursue the matter of Madam Liu interrupting him that day, but seeing how she had been running around for the Liu family's affairs, he hadn't brought it up. But he never expected that she would disgrace the Liu family like this in such a setting, in front of so many ladies and young misses. He was truly furious.

Seeing the ladies and young women around him suppressing their smiles, Liu Xuan's anger surged.
