The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

An Xinlian knew that although she didn't know the man's origins or identity, she felt that his identity was definitely not simple!

Anmi, oh Anmi, she really underestimated her before!

Thinking back on her previous suspicions, she became even more convinced that some things in the past might have been related to An Mi, and that they had been completely fooled and perhaps even taken advantage of.

The resentment in her heart, accompanied by jealousy, grew rampantly, and the jealousy burned so badly that An Xinlian felt extremely uncomfortable.

An Mi glanced at An Xinlian, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Thank you for the compliment."

“You…” An Xinlian took a step forward, but An Mi looked up and met her glare without the slightest fear.

An Xinlian knew she wouldn't get anywhere with An Mi today. Seeing An Mi's smug look only fueled her resentment. Despite her unwillingness, she could only silently turn and leave...

An Mi watched An Xinlian's departing figure, her smile deepening. But she also knew that An Xinlian wasn't as brainless as An Xinhe. An Xinlian knew how to be patient and how to assess the situation. The more patient and silent she was, the more she kept certain things in mind.

However, An Mi in this life has never been afraid of An Xinlian. She wants to see what tricks this woman can pull!

Anmi got up, closed the door, and turned to go to sleep. She glanced at the dressing table and saw a single earring that had been removed. Her brows furrowed involuntarily. If Nalan Jue wanted to take it, he could take both. If he took one, what should be done with the remaining one?

Anmi shook her head and ignored it.

After that night, every time An Mi met An Xinlian, she would see An Xinlian glaring at her with increasingly sharp eyes, as if she wanted to devour her. An Mi's response was just a gentle smile, nonchalant and indifferent, showing no regard for her at all. This only made An Xinlian grit her teeth and wanted to pick a fight with An Mi several times, but she always held back.

Half a month passed in this way, and Anmi's days were peaceful. She would secretly leave the mansion every day to stay in the blazing flames of prosperity. During this half month, Cheng Ying returned to Rongjin City with the sales contract with the merchants in the southern border and the land deeds and ownership of the merchants' mulberry garden. Before Cheng Ying could even rest for half a day, she received a task from Anmi, asking her to find a place to establish their own silk reeling workshop and weaving workshop.

With Bai Yi's financial support, the preparations were completed in just one month.

On this day, An Mi listened to Cheng Ying's report on the preparations for the silk reeling workshop and weaving workshop in her room at Shengshi Lieyan, and was very satisfied.

"Miss, when will you open the business?" Cheng Ying asked after reporting everything. She had been extremely busy these days, but her life was so fulfilling that she felt happy. Watching the preparations for the silk reeling workshop and weaving workshop being completed little by little, she was even more excited and more certain that following the young lady was an exceptionally wise choice.

She has now handed over most of the affairs of Shengshi Lieyan to Yan Mengli, while she is temporarily in charge of the silk reeling workshop and the weaving workshop. However, she has a premonition that she will not be able to manage them for long, because the young lady is afraid that she will have something more important to do.

Anmi took a small sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "Of course, the sooner the better."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the room was pushed open. Without even thinking, An Mi knew who it was. Some time ago, the King of Donglin had returned to Jicheng. Before leaving, he had invited An Mi to have tea. During the meal, An Mi could tell from the King of Donglin's tone that he seemed to know about Bai Yi's desire to take over Rongjincheng. However, he did not seem to be stopping him. An Mi thought that perhaps the two brothers had reached some kind of agreement.

However, this was actually a good thing for her, as it meant that there would be no more obstacles for her to do business in Rongjin City.

As soon as Bai Yi entered the room, his gaze fell on An Mi. When he met An Mi's eyes, a hint of tenderness appeared in his deep eyes.

An Mi didn't take that bit of "gentleness" to heart, only thinking that this King of Bohai also had a different side than the rumors, at least he was gentle to his collaborators.

"Guess what I brought today?" Bai Yi sat down next to An Mi, leaning back against the back of the couch.

An Mi frowned. She wondered when Bai Yi had become so casual in her presence. She lowered her brows and said calmly, "Who can fathom the thoughts of the King of Bohai?"

She had no interest in guessing. If it were someone else, she might be able to guess, but Bai Yi... she decided not to waste her time on that pointless task!

Bai Yi raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and sighed inwardly. An Mi was always so indifferent to him. When would she be more enthusiastic towards him?

Bai Yi knew there was plenty of time, so he glanced at An Mi, took something out of his pocket, and handed it to her. "Here you go."

Anmi looked at the object, frowning. A wedding invitation?

"Is there good news for Your Highness?" An Mi asked with a light laugh, taking the invitation and unfolding it. Upon seeing the contents, she couldn't help but pause in surprise.

Bai Yi saw her reaction and smiled, "It's not that I have good news, but rather that the Liu family has good news."

Indeed, isn't it a happy occasion for the Liu family?

An Mi glanced at a name on the wedding invitation again, a strange light appearing in her eyes. Liu Zhan, was Liu Zhan going to marry Mei Yingxue, the eldest daughter of the Mei family in Jicheng?

Ha! What a fine Liu Zhan, what a fine Liu family!

During this period, the Liu family's business has been unusually sluggish. I heard that many of their businesses have suffered significant losses. Not long ago, I saw the patriarch of the Liu family, and he looked as if he had aged many years.

I heard that Liu Zhan closed Liu's Embroidery Shop, and all his other powers were taken back by Master Liu and handed over to Liu Jing. It seems that Liu Zhan hasn't been idle these days. Has he found a powerful backer in the Mei family of Jicheng? Using women, ha! That's Liu Zhan's style!

Mei Yingxue, the eldest daughter of the Mei family?

She hasn't seen her since she was reborn!

In her past life, Mei Yingxue at least called her "sister." It would be a bit unreasonable if they didn't meet in this life.

Anmi glanced at the few words on the wedding invitation...

"The King of Donglin?" An Mi frowned slightly. The wedding invitation that Bai Yi brought was actually for the King of Donglin, and it was given to the King of Donglin by the Mei family of Jicheng. What did this mean? An Mi thought about it for a moment and understood.

Is the Liu family really planning to keep a low profile this time? It seems to her that the Liu family is avoiding certain people!

“King of Bohai, this time, I'm afraid you'll be left out of the guest list for the Liu family’s wedding, just like me.” An Mi said with a smile. After the incident of Liu Zhan marrying An Xinhe last time, Liu Zhan would definitely not make a big fuss about it this time. However, for a wealthy family like the Liu family, how could they not make a fuss about the eldest son’s wedding?
