The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

"Damn it!" Bai Yi couldn't help but curse under his breath. He knew where he had gone wrong. The person An Mi had been referring to wasn't herself at all!

And his answer... Just thinking about his answer made Bai Yi extremely annoyed. He wished he could turn back time. If he could turn back time, he would definitely have carefully considered his answer before giving it. Now, An Mi probably thought he was a womanizer who could easily fall for women!

What are we going to do now?!

Bai Yi, a powerful figure in the business world, has suffered repeated defeats in front of this woman named An Mi. He is even at his wits' end, unsure how to make amends for his mistakes and correct her misunderstanding of him.

Oh, Bai Yi, meeting An Mi has completely ruined your life!

Looking at that retreating figure, Bai Yi's eyes narrowed. Resigned, he chased after An Mi. He couldn't let this misunderstanding linger in An Mi's heart for too long. He was shrewd and knew that the longer it stayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. For his own sake, he naturally had to explain things clearly as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Feng Xianglan, whose gaze remained fixed on Bai Yi, felt an even stronger surge of jealousy and resentment in her eyes. Seeing Bai Yi's ardent affection for Miss Yan, it was as if a fire was burning within her, causing her heart to ache.

Bai Yi... Bai Yi... Why... Why does his tenderness only bloom for that Yan girl?

Why not her?!

Her hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and Feng Xianglan bit her lip tightly. She was unwilling to accept it!

Taking a deep breath, Feng Xianglan quietly followed...

Meanwhile, inside the Liu residence, Madam Liu had prepared a banquet for the guests, but since there were no guests, she could only instruct the servants to remove the food. The thought of the desolation of the Liu family today filled her with a bitter feeling.

Fortunately, Zhan'er still went through the wedding ceremony with Mei Yingxue. Now that Mei Yingxue is a daughter-in-law of the Liu family, her heart is finally at ease. However, if the Mei family knew about today's shabby situation, she wondered if they would have any extreme reactions.

Thinking of this, Madam Liu's brows remained furrowed. She secretly pondered that Zhan'er should persuade Yingxue to plead with the Mei family, as there might still be a chance to resolve the matter.

"No...nothing's wrong...nothing's wrong...Young Master...Young Master, he..."

As Madam Liu was pondering, a panicked voice came from outside the hall, interrupting her thoughts. Madam Liu was startled and immediately stood up. She glanced at Liu Xuan, who was sitting to the side with a gloomy face, and strode out of the hall. "What's wrong? What happened to Zhan'er?"

In Madam Liu's eyes, the only young master of the Liu family is Liu Zhan!

These days, she is not as calm and composed as before. Even the smallest thing can make her panic. For a moment, she did not even realize that the person with a frightened and anxious face was not a servant of the Liu family.

Liu Xuan, who followed them out, noticed this and, realizing something, his eyes narrowed. "What happened to Young Master Mei?"

Fusheng's face turned deathly pale as he recalled what he had just witnessed. "Young Master... he's dead... dead..."

The eldest young master was making love with the eldest daughter of the Liu family in the room. As usual, he was guarding outside the door. But the eldest young master suddenly came out and told him to stay away from the room, saying that the eldest daughter of the Liu family did not like their lovemaking being overheard. He left tactfully. After some time, he returned, but he could not hear any movement in the room. The faint smell of blood emanating from the room made him instantly alert. He pushed open the door and saw the eldest young master lying on the bed with holes all over his body. Blood soaked the entire bed, and he looked terrible.

He was stunned with fear, but after a moment, he came to his senses and immediately ran out!

"What do you mean dead? Explain yourself!" Liu Xuan realized something was wrong and a sense of unease crept into his heart.

“Young Master…Young Master died in his room…” Fusheng’s eyes were still filled with terror, and he was somewhat dazed.

"Are you kidding me? How could that be? Young Master Mei is clearly..." Madam Liu snorted. Dead? How could that be? She watched as Young Master Mei pulled Liu Xu into the inner courtyard. His eager manner told her he was up to something. Dead? He was probably enjoying his death!

But Liu Xuan's expression darkened even more. "Let's go, lead the way quickly, let's go see!"

After saying that, she let Fusheng walk in front. Madam Liu did not say anything and followed. The group soon arrived at the inner courtyard. At this time, Liu Zhan and Mei Yingxue, who were originally in the bridal chamber, also rushed out after hearing the commotion outside.

In the courtyard, the door to the room was wide open. Even from some distance, one could smell the stench of blood. The closer one got, the stronger the smell became. Everyone present was filled with unease, especially Madam Liu, who had not believed Fusheng's words at all. At this moment, a heavy weight was hanging over her heart.

When the group arrived at the door, the first thing they saw was the naked, gruesome body on the bed, and some of the maids even gasped in shock.

Liu Xuan and his wife turned deathly pale instantly. Looking at the blood-soaked bed, they confirmed that the person lying there, riddled with holes and with his eyes wide open in despair, was none other than the eldest young master of the Mei family. Their minds went completely blank.

How could this be? How could this happen? What on earth happened? The eldest young master of the Mei family was perfectly fine just now!

As if remembering something, Madam Liu quickly searched the room, but couldn't find the person she was looking for. "Where's Liu Xu? Where is Liu Xu? Has anyone seen the young lady?"

Madam Liu questioned anxiously in a stern voice. The maids and servants outside the door dared not enter the room and could only answer from outside, "We...we don't know...Madam...Madam ordered that we servants not to enter the inner courtyard to disturb her, we dare not go in..."

Where did they see any young lady?!

Madam Liu's face darkened, and the unease in her eyes intensified. A guess surfaced in her mind, but she could hardly believe it. Suddenly, her gaze fell on a certain spot on the bed. Beside the body of Young Master Mei, a hairpin lay quietly, stained with blood. However, even though it was stained with blood, Madam Liu could recognize that it belonged to Liu Xu. Today, she seemed to have had such a hairpin in her hair!

In an instant, everything became clear in her mind, and her previous guesses became even more certain!

"It's her, Xu'er...it's Xu'er..." Madam Liu murmured. It must have been Liu Xu who killed the eldest young master of the Mei family, but...where is Xu'er?

"Quickly, quickly find her! Turn the entire Liu mansion upside down, find that unfilial daughter!" What Madam Liu was thinking, Liu Xuan naturally thought as well. Liu Xu killed Young Master Mei, what should they do?!
