The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Feeling the pain in her eyes, Madam Liu gritted her teeth, but could only swallow her resentment. Struggling to her feet, she said, utterly aggrieved, "Master...this..."

What good will it do to get up? Now, they've lost their homes. What are they going to do?

How could Liu Xuan not understand Madam Liu's meaning? He was also filled with anger, but what could he do? With the King of Bohai standing there so forcefully, even if he wanted to continue negotiating with Miss Yan, he no longer had the courage!

The King of Bohai had just made his move… Thinking of his swift and ruthless actions, Liu Xuan's heart skipped a beat. "Hurry up and leave!"

If anything else goes wrong, they might face an even more miserable end. This Miss Yan is ruthless, but the King of Bohai is even more ruthless!

Madam Liu was stunned for a moment. She looked at the mansion, whose gate plaque had already been changed, and then turned back. Liu Xuan had already walked quite a few steps away. Madam Liu was slightly taken aback, but she couldn't care less about anything else and hurriedly followed.

Anmi watched the two men's dejected figures, a smile playing on her lips. She felt quite pleased. That one eye was destroyed just right. How could Madam Liu, with her temperament, tolerate a physical disability?

Ha! She wants to make her suffer through constant loss!

As she was thinking this, she heard the displeased voice of the man beside her...

"Why didn't you call me to come with you?" Bai Yi frowned, still feeling a bit scared. If he hadn't been there, wouldn't An Mi have been hurt? Thinking of the sharp hairpin, Bai Yi's brows remained furrowed.

An Mi paused slightly, recalling Bai Yi's threat to Madam Liu earlier. Her eyes flickered, and she deliberately suppressed the strange feelings that were growing within her. She forced a smile and met Bai Yi's eyes. "Does the King of Bohai think I would be so foolish as to stand by and watch her hurt me?"

Even without Bai Yi, she had already come up with a solution.

Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, "You woman!"

An Mi looked away, a strange feeling rising in her heart. She thought about how he had been so ruthless to Madam Liu just now, all for her sake. Was her attitude too ungrateful?

However, his concern for her was really too much for her to handle!

An Mi caught a glimpse of Bai Yi's gloomy face out of the corner of her eye, and her heart skipped a beat. A sense of guilt began to grow again, but...

A moment of silence fell between them, and countless strange elements swirled in the air. After an unknown amount of time, Anmi murmured softly, "Thank you."

Bai Yi was startled. What had he just heard? Thank you? An Mi thanked him? How rare was that?

Bai Yi's gaze towards An Mi changed. The displeasure and frustration he felt earlier vanished instantly. Even saying thank you felt so awkward. This woman… Bai Yi seemed unwilling to let this opportunity slip by. He frowned, and his deep voice rang out lightly, "What did you say?"

"Thank you!" An Mi emphasized, but when she looked up, she met Bai Yi's mischievous black eyes, and then a bright smile spread across his handsome face.

Thump thump thump…

Why did she feel dizzy at first glance from Bai Yi?

Bai Yi was incredibly astute; how could he not see what that look meant? Overjoyed, he thought, "This woman is finally showing some reaction to me?"

Bai Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a huge smile appeared on his lips. "You don't need to thank me!"

An Mi's lips twitched slightly. No need for her to say thank you, she even made her say it twice. What a cunning fox!

An Mi ignored Bai Yi and walked straight towards the carriage. However, when she reached the space between the two carriages, she stopped and lowered her gaze, as if she was thinking about something. After only a moment, An Mi made a decision and took action. Originally, she was going back to her own carriage, but instead, she walked towards Bai Yi's carriage.

Even Bai Yi was stunned for a moment by this action. An Mi... actually got into his carriage?

After the initial shock, a feeling of even greater joy followed. At this moment, wasn't it too unfair to himself to still be standing there dumbfounded?

Bai Yi never did anything to betray himself, and immediately strode towards the carriage.

Bai Yi's carriage was unusually large, but because of Bai Yi's deliberate approach, An Mi still felt the air was very oppressive, and there was still that naked and undisguised concern in his eyes that locked her in!

Anmi thought about how she had gone from being ignored to being rejected and then to feeling uneasy under this gaze. At this moment, she felt a little smug. Anmi couldn't help but smile, but there was a hint of bitterness mixed in. What was there to be smug about?

Are you proud of being favored by the dignified King of Bohai? Ha! Anmi, after experiencing your past life, do you still have the courage to entrust your life to a man in this life?

The mighty King of Bohai, what woman couldn't he have? Perhaps, the way he looks at you today, he'll look at another woman in the same way when the next person can capture his attention!

In this life, Anmi will never share a man with anyone again, and she will never entrust her fate to anyone else!

Anmi frowned slightly, suppressing the slight flutter in her heart. Thinking about her purpose in getting into Baiyi's carriage, her expression became more serious.

"Your Highness, there is something I'm not sure if I should say." Anmi met Bai Yi's eyes and tentatively began to speak. As a friend, there were some things she should let Bai Yi know as soon as possible.

"Don't keep me in suspense like this!" Bai Yijun raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.

An Mi stared at Bai Yi for a long while before speaking, "Have you ever considered that the enemy you killed back then wasn't your real enemy?"

Bai Yi was slightly taken aback. Back then? Those painful memories instantly flooded his mind. He looked away, hiding the pain in his eyes. "Why bring this up all of a sudden?"

An Mi sensed Bai Yi's emotions and felt a pang of pity. Some wounds cannot be healed by time, and Princess Yun's pain to Bai Yi was just like that. However... thinking of the truth she had overheard, An Mi couldn't bear to see Bai Yi, who valued Princess Yun as his sister so much, still being kept in the dark by the real culprit.

"I was thinking, if two people look exactly alike, wouldn't it be easy for people to confuse them and not know who is who?" An Mi said cryptically, thinking of Jin Qiaoyu. Even Jin Qiaoyu, who should be the mother who knows her two daughters best, couldn't tell Feng Xianglan and Feng Jinlan apart. Who else could tell them apart?

As astute as Bai Yi was, he naturally understood An Mi's meaning: "You mean, Feng Jinlan and Feng Xianglan... no, the Feng Jinlan who killed my sister, I have personally killed her."

An Mi noticed the slight panic in Bai Yi's eyes. He probably didn't want to accept the fact that the real Feng Jinlan was still alive!

Yes, back then, he was under pressure from the Emperor and the Feng family, and he finally managed to kill the murderer who killed his sister with his own hands. Now, he is being told that the "murderer" he killed was just a substitute. No one could accept this.
