The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

The thought of An Mi's smugness filled Feng Xianglan with hatred. Watching An Mi's retreating figure, the gloom in Feng Xianglan's eyes deepened...

As An Mi had predicted, Feng Xianglan did not go to the Flourishing World that day. An Mi understood that if Feng Xianglan went to the Flourishing World again, she would only be humiliating herself.

But at noon that day, something happened even faster than Anmi had anticipated.

The news that Master Mei had arrived in Rongjin City spread quickly. In the past few days, the people of Rongjin City had been paying close attention to the death of Young Master Mei, speculating about how Master Mei would react upon hearing the news. After all, Young Master Mei died in the Liu residence, and Liu Xuan and Madam Liu were now the prime suspects, while Miss Mei was now the eldest mistress of the Liu residence!

This intricate web of relationships only fuels people's desire to see a good show unfold.

Young Master Mei's body was placed in the mortuary of the government office. As soon as Master Mei arrived in Rongjin City, the first thing he did was to go and see Young Master Mei's body, a fact that many people had already guessed.

Upon hearing the news from the constables, the prefectural magistrate immediately abandoned his official duties and rushed to the mortuary...

Since Liu Xuan and his wife were imprisoned, the Liu family has been in an extremely oppressive atmosphere. None of the servants dared to say a word, for fear of angering the eldest young master, Liu Zhan, who was in a bad mood.

Upon hearing that Master Mei had arrived in Rongjin City, the servants of the Liu family immediately reported to Liu Zhan. Upon hearing this, Liu Zhan's face turned deathly pale. "How could it be so fast?"

Has Master Mei received the letter written by Mei Yingxue?

Liu Zhan carefully calculated the time. Even if the post station used the fastest horse to deliver the message, it might not arrive in such a short time. So…

Liu Zhan, realizing something, was startled and immediately went to the bridal chamber. Inside, Mei Yingxue, weak from her miscarriage, lay resting on the bed. Seeing Liu Zhan enter, a smile bloomed on her pale face, "Husband..."

"Hurry up and dress the young mistress. You, hurry up and do her hair and makeup. Be quick and efficient." As soon as Liu Zhan entered the room, he didn't even glance at Mei Yingxue. Instead, he hurriedly gave instructions to the maids serving in the room, his manner unusually rushed.

"Husband, what happened?"

The maids dared not delay and immediately went to the bedside to help the young mistress get up. Mei Yingxue saw that Liu Zhan's expression was abnormal and that he was weak, but she still cooperated with the maids to dress and do her makeup.

Liu Zhan glanced at Mei Yingxue and said, "My father-in-law has arrived."

"Really? Where is Father? But..." Mei Yingxue suddenly seemed to remember something and frowned, "But why did Father come so quickly?"

"Yes, why did it come so quickly!" Liu Zhan murmured, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

"Is he in the lobby?" Mei Yingxue asked again.

"If it were you, what would you do immediately upon hearing that your eldest son had died?" Liu Zhan's brows furrowed even deeper.

"The mortuary, Father has gone to the mortuary." Mei Yingxue said. Her elder brother's body had been moved to the mortuary by the prefectural magistrate. Her father could only go there to see her brother.

"What I'm worried about is that my father-in-law didn't get to receive your letter in time," Liu Zhan said, expressing his concerns.

Mei Yingxue's expression immediately became even more panicked. "What should we do? If Father has already heard some things that are unfavorable to the Liu family, then things will be very difficult."

"Yes, that's why you need to go to the mortuary as soon as possible and explain things to your father in person." Liu Zhan excitedly grabbed Mei Yingxue's arm, unaware that he had unconsciously used too much force, and even less aware that Mei Yingxue was biting her lip in pain.

Mei Yingxue didn't say anything. She knew she had made a choice and had to stick to it, no matter what the outcome was!

Mei Yingxue forced herself to change her clothes with the help of her maid. After finally finishing her makeup, Liu Zhan didn't give her a chance to catch her breath before pulling her away from the Liu residence and hurriedly heading towards the mortuary...

The news of Master Mei's arrival in Rongjin City also reached Shengshi Lieyan at the same time. Inside the room, An Mi listened to Cheng Ying's report and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Ha! You've come really fast. Come on, let's not delay, we can't miss the show." An Mi put down her teacup, stood up gracefully, straightened her clothes, and her eyes were filled with intense schadenfreude.

Cheng Ying frowned. "Miss, where are we going to watch a show?"

An Mi glanced at Cheng Ying with a half-smile, "Naturally, it's the mortuary!"

Cheng Ying suddenly realized what was going on. She exchanged a glance with An Mi, then left the room, also heading towards the mortuary...

The carriage traveled through the streets of Rongjin City. Not long after, Anmi heard the coachman outside say, "Miss, what just passed by seemed to be the carriage of the King of Bohai."

Anmi raised her beautiful eyebrows in the carriage, and the smile on her lips under her veil widened. The King of Bohai? He must have heard the news and was also on his way to the mortuary!

If she guessed correctly, the people rushing to the mortuary were not only her and Bai Yi. Thinking of Liu Zhan and Mei Yingxue, An Mi's eyes flickered, faintly revealing a shrewd glint. He wanted to see what Mei Yingxue's attitude would be towards this matter!

Earlier, Master Mei arrived at the mortuary, weary from his journey. He had traveled all night without stopping, which made him look somewhat tired, but the sharpness on his resolute face remained undiminished.

In fact, he was furious when he heard the rumors in Jicheng about Yingxue marrying into the Liu family and having no guests. What was the status of the Mei family in Jicheng? How could the eldest daughter of the Mei family suffer such humiliation?

Even if Yingxue could bear it, now that almost everyone in Jicheng knows about this matter, he can no longer sit idly by. Therefore, he immediately decided to go to Rongjincheng in person to demand an explanation from the Liu family.

The humiliation that the Liu family brought to Yingxue was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Mei family.

He set off angrily, but he did not expect to encounter Fusheng on the road. Thinking of what Fusheng had said, Master Mei took a deep breath and his body staggered slightly. When he heard Fusheng talk about this, he even fainted on the spot.

Dead? His son actually died in the Liu family!

How could he not be angry?

Upon waking up, he pressed on without delay. He was going to Rongjin City not just to seek justice, but also to find out how his son died. He was determined to make the Liu family, who were implicated, pay the price!

That's his son!

Although he was a bit of a womanizer and a womanizer, his business acumen far surpassed that of his brothers. Therefore, his brother turned a blind eye to his extramarital affairs and even nurtured him.
