The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

"Bai Yi..." An Mi, who was being protected behind Bai Yi, also frowned, secretly scolding Bai Yi in her heart, "Does he have a death wish?"

An Mi immediately grabbed Bai Yi's wrist, trying to pull him away. However, her strength was clearly no match for Bai Yi's, and the atmosphere became strange. When Feng Yu saw Bai Yi standing in front of An Mi, he felt relieved and quietly watched this good show.

All of this, though seemingly long, took only a fleeting moment. However, just when Feng Yu thought the candlestick was about to pierce Bai Yi's chest, the sudden appearance of the person made him frown.

With a loud "thud," the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was particularly clear. Yu Ling'er held the candlestick in her hand. Just moments ago, she had been extremely frantic, desperately wanting a peaceful life. But upon witnessing the series of changes, she could no longer withstand the force she had used.

"Ah..." Yu Ling'er looked at the person she had stabbed, blood flowing from the tip of the candlestick, and was so frightened that she immediately let go.

"Your Highness...are you...are you alright?" Master Yu ignored Yu Ling'er. Although he was injured by Yu Ling'er, he was relieved. It was better than the King of Bohai being injured by Yu Ling'er.

Bai Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his brows furrowed a little. "I'm not seriously injured, but I was quite frightened. Master Yu, what are you doing? Look at your injuries..."

As Bai Yi spoke, his thick eyebrows furrowed even more deeply, and he even seemed to shake his head helplessly out of pity. However, if others saw that trace of pity in him, they would believe it to be true. But Feng Yu and An Mi, who were present, were both intelligent people and immediately understood what was going on.

Feng Yu's eyes narrowed, and I instinctively clenched my fists, while An Mi's lips subtly curled into a smile.

They hadn't noticed it before, but now they understood it completely. The reason Bai Yi stood in front of An Mi, facing Yu Ling'er's madness without fear, was because he had long anticipated that Master Yu wouldn't let anything happen to him, or rather, he wouldn't dare to let anything happen to him!

He was certain that Master Yu would bravely step in to protect him!

Yes, it's true. During the Yu family's funeral, the King of Bohai came to offer his condolences with good intentions, but he was injured by the Yu family's young lady. If this had happened, it would have been easy to understand what the Yu family would have faced.

However… An Mi still frowned. This Bai Yi was being far too bold. What if Master Yu didn’t have time to react?

An Mi felt a slight pang in her heart, a sense of unease rising within her. Her gaze swept over the panicked Yu Ling'er, a cold smirk playing on her lips...

Upon hearing that the Prince of Bohai had been frightened, Master Yu's previously relieved heart tightened again. Ignoring the pain from his wound and the continuous bleeding, Master Yu hurriedly explained, trying to soothe Bai Yi's emotions, "Your Highness, I deserve to die. I failed to raise my daughter properly and disturbed Your Highness. I deserve to die!"

At this moment, Master Yu wished he could tear Yu Ling'er to pieces. His daughter, especially after the death of his eldest daughter, had always been spoiled by them. Now, she had finally caused trouble!

If the King of Bohai keeps pressing this matter, even if he was just stabbed, it might not be easy to resolve!

Master Yu glared at Yu Ling'er and cursed her in his heart, thinking, "This unfilial daughter is good for nothing and good for making things worse!"

Yu Ling'er was filled with terror. She wanted to go forward, but she was afraid of the blood flowing from Master Yu's body. At this moment, she seemed to be somewhat sober, and subconsciously swallowed her saliva, as if to suppress her fear. "Father... quick, where's the doctor? Where's the doctor?"

Yu Ling'er knew she had caused trouble, but she didn't know that the person she had offended at that moment was not Master Yu, but the Prince of Bohai!

Just now, Yu Ling'er bumped her forehead again, and Master Yu had already ordered someone to find a doctor. At that moment, the doctor was brought to the door. Upon seeing the doctor, Yu Ling'er immediately said, "Quick, come in quickly, my father..."

The candlestick was still stuck inside Master Yu's body. If it wasn't removed, Yu Ling'er didn't dare to think about what might happen if something went wrong. She didn't even care that her forehead injury was also very serious. She understood one thing: if her father fell, then the Yu family would no longer be the same Yu family. So, how could she be worthy of her brother-in-law? How could she be with her brother-in-law?

However, at this moment, Master Yu had no mind to see a doctor; the most important thing right now was the Prince of Bohai!

"You unfilial daughter, kneel down before the King of Bohai!" Master Yu shouted sternly. It seemed that the force of his words aggravated his wounds, or perhaps it was due to his anger, as a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Yu Ling'er was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Bai Yi. The corners of his mouth were curled up in a half-smile. It was clearly a smile, but it made Yu Ling'er's heart tremble. Kneel to the King of Bohai? On what grounds?

So what if she almost hurt the King of Bohai? She didn't actually hurt him, did she? Besides, the person she wanted to hurt was An Mi!

Master Yu knew his daughter well, and when he saw Yu Ling'er's stubborn eyes, he understood what was going on. He was even more disappointed in her. "What are you standing there for? Kneel down!"

Master Yu's face was fierce, something Yu Ling'er had never seen before. Startled, Yu Ling'er knelt down with a thud.

Master Yu let out a breath, looked at Bai Yi again, and forced a fawning smile. “Your Highness, Yu Ling’er must have been blinded by greed just now. She is young and doesn’t know the immensity of the world. Your Highness, please don’t hold it against her for my sake.”

Bai Yi frowned, a hint of sarcasm appearing at the corner of his mouth, and said indifferently, "Face? In this whole world, in my eyes, apart from my father's face, which I remember every day, I have never cared about anyone else's face. Does Master Yu really think that your face is greater than my father's?"

Master Yu froze. How could his face be greater than the Emperor's? Wasn't this utterly treasonous?

"No, no, no..." Master Yu shook his head hurriedly, suddenly realizing that even if he blocked Ling'er's stab, Ling'er's attempt to harm An Mi had already provoked the King of Bohai. The King of Bohai probably wouldn't let Ling'er and the Yu family off so easily!

Because of the blood loss and the worry in his heart, his face was even paler. Facing the Prince of Bohai, Master Yu racked his brains. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes. "Your Highness, the Yu family has a house in the west of the city. If Your Highness takes a liking to it, please accept it as an apology from Ling'er. Ling'er, hurry up and speak!"

Yu Ling'er understood Master Yu's meaning, but she was still unwilling. That house in the west of the city? It was the most luxurious house in the Yu family besides the ancestral home. Her brothers and sisters-in-law had been longing for that house. Even she herself was thinking that if her father could give that house as part of her dowry when she got married, it would be better to give it to the Prince of Bohai.
