The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

The men present, who had honed their business acumen and were adept at reading people, couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This Miss Yan is truly unfathomable, even to us."

However, Bai Yi's lips curled up slightly. Just because An Mi wasn't acting up now didn't mean she wouldn't later. An Mi was probably waiting for Liu Xuan to arrive.

Sure enough, Liu Xuan arrived soon after. In the past, he was always surrounded by servants when he appeared. However, this time, he was followed by constables with knives. The contrast between the past and present made everyone present sigh that fortunes change and that things can turn around in thirty years. Even Liu Zhan's pride in front of those who used to fawn over him seemed to shatter in an instant.

These days, Liu Xuan has been hiding in the dilapidated house, avoiding everything, because he is afraid of these people's gazes.

However, when he saw several constables find him, he realized that there were some things he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. Not only this time, Liu Zhan must have angered Miss Yan. Otherwise, who would make the prefectural governor go to such lengths to find him?

"This humble subject pays respects to the King of Donglin and the King of Bohai, and greets the Prefectural Governor." Liu Xuan knelt on the ground to pay his respects. He knew that kneeling was to place his dignity under the other party's feet and make him a laughing stock. However, he could not allow anyone to have any opportunity to make trouble for him.

However, his intentions did not escape the notice of some people.

"Ha! Master Liu, it's been a while. Your skills in disciplining your son have improved quite a bit. Do you know that your young master almost hurt someone just now?" Bai Yi snorted coldly, his tone icy and chilling. His anger at this moment was not feigned. Just thinking about how Liu Zhan almost hurt An Mi just now made him unable to calm down. If he didn't know that An Mi had her own plans, how could Liu Zhan be kneeling here so easily right now?

Bai Yi's eyes narrowed slightly. He paused for a moment, and before Liu Xuan could explain, he continued, "Although someone was almost injured, we can't just let it go like this. I remember that day outside Yan Manor, I warned you that she was not someone filthy people like you could touch!"

Both Lady Liu and Liu Xuan trembled. They had not forgotten the lesson that the King of Bohai had taught them that day. Lady Liu, in particular, seemed to feel the excruciating pain and fear she had felt then when the King of Bohai mentioned it.

Instantly, both of their faces turned pale. Bai Yi's words implied that he would not let them go. So how would he deal with them?

"Bai Yi, I only regret that I didn't kill her! If I hadn't died, I would have taken her life!" Liu Zhan roared, his heart filled with resentment.

"Zhan'er..." Liu Xuan shouted angrily, glancing at Bai Yi, only to see that his deep eyes had darkened even more. He thought to himself, "This is bad. Has Liu Zhan lost his mind?" If they can't kill Miss Yan in one fell swoop, things will only get more difficult afterward. Just like now, they've fallen into the hands of the King of Bohai and Miss Yan. What hope is there?

Thinking about the fate of the Liu family under Miss Yan's control, Liu Xuan felt increasingly uneasy.

Madam Liu, however, had the opposite attitude from Liu Xuan, a smile playing on her lips, "The Liu family's grudge must be avenged!"

An Mi raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, and the smile beneath her veil deepened. She had already sat down, but suddenly stood up and, under everyone's gaze, slowly walked towards Liu Zhan. Her gaze, however, fell on Madam Liu. After a moment of silence, her gentle voice rang out, "Revenge? You won't die, but you want my life? Heh, everyone has heard it. In this situation, what should this humble woman do?"

A hint of disdain surfaced in An Mi's eyes. Take her life? If she couldn't take it this time, she'd never have the chance again. Besides, there was the feud with the Liu family…

The crowd began to whisper among themselves, all speculating about what Miss Yan would do. However, they were clear on one point: the Liu family, these stray dogs, had absolutely no chance of winning against Miss Yan.

“Madam Liu, since you and your son both say so, then it’s time to settle our grudges. Do you remember what I said that day?” An Mi met Madam Liu’s eyes with a half-smile and spoke calmly.

Madam Liu was slightly taken aback. This Miss Yan had said so many things to her, but almost subconsciously, she knew which sentence she was referring to.

Until death!

Her body trembled, and she would not rest until death? This Flame Maiden...

Seeing Madam Liu's reaction, An Mi knew that Madam Liu had understood her meaning, and her eyes narrowed slightly. "However, before that, I have something I want to announce to everyone."

Announcing something? Everyone became even more interested, all looking at Miss Yan with eager anticipation, waiting for her to speak.

Bai Yi's handsome eyebrows also raised slightly, as if he had guessed what she was going to do.

An Mi's gaze swept over everyone, lingering for a moment longer on the Liu family of three, An Yuefeng, and An Xinlian. She slowly raised her hand, and everyone held their breath as they watched her move, as they seemed to have guessed her intention.

Is this Flame Maiden about to unveil her secrets?

An Yuefeng was stunned, and An Xinlian was also stunned. They hadn't expected that after all the effort they had put into uncovering Miss Yan's identity, she would now reveal it herself.

However, after a moment of stunned silence, they reacted differently. An Yuefeng raised the corner of his mouth, glanced at Master Lu beside him, and sneered inwardly: Once he sees Miss Yan's face, let's see if he will regret being so smug in front of him just now.

An Xinlian was praying that the face hidden under that veil wouldn't be the one she least wanted to see!

At the same time, Mrs. Liu Xuan was also staring intently at Miss Yan.

Anmi's hand had already reached behind her ear. With a gentle pull, the veil slipped off Anmi's face in the next instant.

The face was exposed to everyone's gaze, causing everyone to gasp. Even An Yuefeng and An Xinlian, who had seen An Mi countless times, were somewhat surprised by the face beneath the veil.

It was still the same face, but they had never seen An Mi like this before. It was clearly the same face, but An Mi was dressed in white, and her brows were filled with an extraordinary temperament. In particular, her aura that seemed to look down on the world left the two of them stunned. They couldn't help but ask themselves, was that really An Mi?

"That is……"

"I feel like I've seen this somewhere before..."

"That...that's Miss An from the An family, isn't it? The second young lady...I think, I think her name is An Mi."

In an instant, the crowd erupted in excitement, all showing expressions of sudden realization: was Miss Yan the second young lady of the An family, An Mi?
