The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Liu Zhan held the paper, gesturing wildly. Everyone looked at him as if the two corpses lying on the ground just moments before had nothing to do with him.

An Mi snorted coldly. Isn't Liu Zhan just that cold and ruthless?

Perhaps hearing An Mi's voice, Liu Zhan snapped out of his excitement, looked at An Mi, and smiled smugly, "Miss Yan, tell me, who won today, you or me?"

How much did he get? Ignoring the initial amount of silver, what he won this time was enough.

Everyone could see what Liu Zhan meant, and they thought to themselves, "Does Liu Zhan really think he has won?"

For An Mi, all she got was a house and some money, which resulted in the Liu family killing each other and two lives being lost. She didn't do it herself, but it was even more satisfying than if she had done it herself.

"Quickly exchange these useless papers for bets. I want the land deed, and not a penny less of the silver. Bring them all up to me right now." With the paper in his hand, Liu Zhan felt even more confident, as if the once arrogant young master of the Liu family had returned.

An Mi understood his meaning, frowned slightly, and said calmly, "Young Master Liu, if you exchange these things for them, will you stop playing?"

Liu Zhan snorted coldly, "So what if it is? This young master is not playing anymore."

Perhaps he was too excited and forgot that the rules of the game were not up to him.

An Mi chuckled, "Not playing anymore? If Young Master Liu isn't playing anymore, then these bets don't need to be redeemed. In other words, if you're not playing, you can't take these things with you."

Liu Zhan's face darkened, and his gaze towards An Mi changed. "You went back on your word!"

"Going back on my word? Everyone here, have I gone back on my word? You all know who went back on their word. Isn't it a bit unreasonable for Young Master Liu to suddenly stop playing?" An Mi said with a half-smile. As soon as she finished speaking, everyone present echoed her words.

Liu Zhan's expression changed drastically, "You..."

An Mi glanced at her indifferently, "Young Master Liu, don't be angry. If you get angry, your luck will run away, and that won't be worth it."

After saying that, An Mi gave Cheng Ying a wink, "Come on, Young Master Liu, let's continue. It's not too late for Young Master Liu to say we're done playing when everyone has had their fun."

Liu Zhan clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. How could he possibly get everyone to have fun? Liu Zhan looked at the huge words "land deed" on the paper in his hand and suddenly realized that he had no way out.

He has no chance of winning.

His gaze fell on the two corpses on the ground, and Liu Zhan burst into laughter. He seemed to see himself suffering the same fate as his parents.

Did An Mi want them all to die? No, he couldn't let her have her way. Staring fiercely at the box Cheng Ying had brought, Liu Zhan hardened his heart, suddenly flashed forward, drew the knife from Madam Liu's body, and rushed towards An Mi...

An Mi could not possibly take his life; on the contrary, he would make sure An Mi died without a burial place. Liu Zhan's eyes burned with a fierce killing intent, which was extremely terrifying.

Everyone tensed up at this scene. Even An Mi frowned. But just as her brows furrowed, a figure appeared in front of her, and a sense of security washed over her. Before she could react, Bai Yi had easily snatched the knife from Liu Zhan's hand. With a swift swing, the blade sliced ​​across Liu Zhan's neck in the next instant, leaving a thin line, but the blood that flowed out was exceptionally glaring.

Liu Zhan stared wide-eyed, seemingly not expecting that he had ultimately failed. His gaze was fixed on An Mi and on the Bohai King holding the knife in his hand.

“My…land…land deed…” Liu Zhan uttered these words unwillingly before collapsing to the ground.

Silence reigned. The entire hall of the Chamber of Commerce was eerily quiet. An Xinlian, who had been watching all this, felt a tremor in her heart. When did An Mi come to be able to control the life and death of the Liu family? She took the lives of three members of the Liu family, yet she didn't even spill a drop of blood on her hands.

She suddenly felt that she could no longer trample Anmi underfoot, but how could she be willing to accept that?

"I apologize, but it seems I have broken the precept against killing, Your Excellency. According to the law..." Bai Yi slowly tossed aside the knife in his hand and said with a slight frown.

"Your Highness, what law or not? We all saw it just now. Liu Zhan intended to harm Miss Yan first. Miss Yan is someone personally selected by the Emperor to meet him. How can her life be threatened in the slightest? This treacherous villain should have been executed on the spot. Now, it is his honor to trouble Your Highness to take action." Before Bai Yi could finish speaking, the prefectural official stepped forward and said.

In short, reduce everything to zero.

Who is the King of Bohai? Even if he were to take the life of this entire prefecture, no one would dare to say anything. Just now, Liu Zhan was someone who wanted to harm Miss Yan. In their eyes, Miss Yan already belonged to the King of Bohai, so naturally the King of Bohai wouldn't stand idly by.

"Hehe, since that's the case, then get all these corpses out of here. They're just an eyesore." Bai Yi smiled faintly, turned to look at An Mi, and made no attempt to hide the tenderness in his eyes in front of so many people. He raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek. "Who dares to hurt my Mi'er? Even if it costs me my life, I will make that person regret their life."

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped. This Miss Yan was not only favored by the King of Bohai, but also, with Liu Zhan dead, everything he had just obtained was now Miss Yan's.

Adding to the bets they just placed, Miss Yan and King Bohai are now undoubtedly the biggest winners!

An Mi's lips twitched. She knew that Bai Yi was establishing his authority for her. After all, sitting in the position of president of the chamber of commerce would inevitably lead to many troubles in the future. Now that Bai Yi had made this declaration, she thought that no one would dare to cause her any trouble in the future.

An Mi lowered her brows and moved slightly closer to Bai Yi, looking like a shy little woman.

Bai Yi looked at An Mi's reaction with satisfaction, took her hand, and led her to sit down on a chair. "Let the banquet continue. Don't let the Liu family's matter spoil the mood."

As soon as the King of Bohai spoke, everyone became lively again, as if nothing had happened. People toasted and drank as they pleased, and the room was filled with cheerful conversation.

Amidst the commotion, one person's smile was the most radiant, overflowing with smugness. That person was none other than An Yuefeng, the patriarch of the An family.

Ever since An Mi's veil was lifted, his gaze towards others has become superior. Now, listening to the congratulatory words as people toast An Mi, he is even more calculating in his mind that he, An Yuefeng, naturally cannot miss the opportunity to make everyone envious on such an occasion.
