The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Having her sore spot brutally touched, An Xinlian was filled with resentment, but she didn't know how to refute Feng Jinlan's mocking gaze. At this moment, she realized more clearly that for so long, she had been waiting for time to erase people's memories, but now it seemed that Xinhe's matter was still the biggest stain on her life.

Thinking about this, An Xinlian became even angrier.

Feng Jinlan, however, looked at An Yuefeng and said, "She really is Miss Yan. If you don't believe me, ask her!"

An Yuefeng's brow furrowed deeper as he looked at An Mi, "Mi'er..."

An Mi, however, maintained the same amused expression as before, watching the spectacle with a half-smile, and showed no intention of speaking.

Feng Jinlan panicked and shouted at An Mi, "Aren't you afraid I'll expose your identity? Then why don't you dare admit it?"

Feng Jinlan looked at An Mi, unable to fathom the woman's thoughts. This woman's heart seemed deeper than the sea.

Are you afraid to admit it? An Mi raised her eyebrows imperceptibly; she was definitely not afraid to admit it!

But why did she admit it? Now, isn't it quite interesting that no one believes anything Feng Jinlan says?

An Mi remained silent, even revealing a hint of grievance at being wronged. Indeed, the "difference" between An Mi, the second young lady of the An family, and Miss Yan was not small. If one did not see Miss Yan's face under the veil with their own eyes, who would believe it?

"An Mi, say something!" Feng Jinlan became even more anxious and rushed forward. However, before she could get even an inch closer to An Mi, a large hand gripped her wrist tightly, preventing her from taking another step forward.

Feng Jinlan was slightly taken aback. She looked at the man who had grabbed her wrist, and the pain in her wrist made her feel the man's anger.

"Don't even think about hurting anyone I care about again!" Bai Yi's eyes narrowed, and with a forceful flick of his wrist, Feng Jinlan staggered forward. Under such force, Feng Jinlan couldn't control her body at all, and felt a dizzy spell. But when her momentum stopped, there was a loud thud, and blood seemed to flow from her forehead.

Everyone watched Feng Jinlan crash into Jin Qiaoyu's coffin with a sense of anticipation, but An Yuefeng, Yu Fangfei, and An Xinlian had different expressions because of what the King of Bohai had just said.

The person he cares about? Is he at peace?

An Yuefeng was immediately overjoyed. It seemed that Mi'er and the Prince of Bohai really had a chance! If Mi'er really managed to get close to the Prince of Bohai, wouldn't he become the prince's father-in-law in the future?

Yu Fangfei and An Xinlian exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with jealousy. An Mi had become someone the King of Bohai cared about? What did this mean?

The two looked at An Mi, and An Xinlian clenched her fists. An Mi? How could this woman have such good luck?

No, she would never let Anmi be better than her!

What right does a daughter born out of wedlock have?

Each of them had their own thoughts, but Feng Jinlan suddenly burst into laughter. Her desolate laughter added a chilling touch to the eerie atmosphere.

Feng Jinlan, supporting herself against the coffin, stood up straight and turned to look at Bai Yi. The person Bai Yi cared about... was An Mi?

Even though she knew Bai Yi's feelings for An Mi, hearing him say in public that he cared about An Mi made her even more jealous than she had imagined. She was jealous that the person in question was An Mi.

For many years, Bai Yi has been the only person in her eyes and heart. However, even before Princess Yun died, he wouldn't deign to give her a single glance. She loved him so much, but what did she get in return?

At this moment, Feng Jinlan only thought about her one-sided love, but little did she know that love is never a one-person affair!

The image of Bai Yi piercing the real Feng Xianglan's body with his sword several years ago flashed through her mind. She still remembered the coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes clearly. Although the sword pierced Xianglan's body, she knew that Bai Yi wanted to kill her!

Today, Bai Yi knows that he is the real Feng Jinlan, and the one who died back then was just a substitute she pushed out. Will he let her go?

No, he won't. He'll only make himself die a more miserable death than Xianglan! Only in this way can he quell the resentment he's felt for being deceived all these years.

Thinking of this, Feng Jinlan's laughter became even more desolate. She couldn't imagine what a blow it would be to her to have her life end at Bai Yi's hands. She didn't want to, but... could she escape her fate of death?

The answer is definitely no.

Feng Jinlan laughed until tears streamed down her face. She stared at Bai Yi for a long time, then finally, her eyes hardened, as if she had summoned all her ruthlessness. She slammed her entire body against the corner of the coffin…

Almost everyone understood her intention, but no one stopped her. An Mi's gaze fell on Bai Yi, but she saw that his fists were clenched, letting Feng Jinlan seek death on her own.

With a loud bang, especially loud in the entire room, those present saw the body that had hit the coffin slide down with a crash.

An Yuefeng was startled and immediately stepped forward to check Feng Jinlan's breath. "Dead...dead!"

Bai Yi's fists remained clenched, his eyes icy cold. Dead? Even if he sought death, so what?

“Master An, Feng Jinlan died several years ago, and this person…” Bai Yi began coldly, his gaze sweeping over Feng Jinlan’s blood-covered corpse. The coldness at the corner of his mouth grew even sharper. He paused, then continued, “I’ve heard that wild beasts often roam the woods ten miles outside Rongjin City…”

When Bai Yi said this, almost everyone felt a tremor in their hearts. He had put it this way, how could they not understand?

The King of Bohai did not leave Feng Jinlan with a complete corpse!

However, to their surprise, the King of Bohai made such a decision in front of so many people!

Rumor has it that the King of Bohai is eccentric and has a violent temper...

The mighty Prince of Bohai, if he didn't want Feng Jinlan to have a complete corpse, what could they say? Not to mention they dared not say anything, even if the Emperor were here, he would probably grant the Prince of Bohai's wish.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will arrange it immediately!" An Yuefeng was stunned for a moment, but he immediately replied after regaining his senses.

“Good, very good. Your household is suddenly missing one person…” Bai Yi narrowed his eyes, his voice so deep that it created a sense of oppression.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Although there wasn't a single word of threat, the tone was unmistakably menacing. Even Yu Fangfei and An Xinlian knew that no one could tell anyone about what happened tonight!

“After Fifth Concubine died suddenly, her daughter was afraid of being reminded of the past and left alone. Your Highness, what do you think…” An Yuefeng was also a pragmatic person, so he quickly agreed.
