The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

"Is Miss An Mi so unwilling to see me? Or is Miss An Mi afraid to see me?" Feng Yu raised a handsome eyebrow and quickly appeared in front of An Mi, blocking her way. He stared intently into An Mi's eyes, full of provocation.

An Mi frowned, disgusted with Feng Yu from the bottom of her heart. At this moment, she wished she could slap the smile off his face. However, An Mi knew that if she, a woman, had a direct conflict with Feng Yu in the palace, it would only be detrimental to her in the end. But that did not mean that she would let him harass her.

An Mi met Feng Yu's gaze, a smile playing on her lips. She simply stared intently at him, which startled Feng Yu. What ordinary woman would look at him like that? Every woman who saw him would blush with shyness. Only An Mi… Thinking this, Feng Yu suddenly stiffened, his relaxed brows furrowing again. His gaze towards An Mi shifted repeatedly. The two looked at each other, and then Feng Yu suddenly burst into laughter, “An Mi, oh An Mi, you truly are extraordinary!”

Yes, she is different from others, and even more so, she is bold. This woman is looking at him like that, isn't she proving to him that she is not afraid of him at all?

He didn't expect that An Mi would refute his provocation without saying a word!

An Mi raised an eyebrow. This Feng Yu was indeed not stupid. It was good that he understood her meaning. In fact, she disliked this General Feng Yu very much. If it weren't for responding to his provocation, why would she stare at him like this?

An Mi looked away, and the fleeting disdain in her eyes made Feng Yu's head go blank for a moment, followed by a surge of anger. He had never been so angry, not even when he heard about the enemy's invasion.

Disdain? Yes, he was absolutely right, that was disdain!

Anmi looked down on him. What did she look down on him for?

Suddenly, without thinking, Feng Yu stepped forward, grabbed An Mi's wrist, gritted his teeth, and his face was frighteningly gloomy.

An Mi was taken aback, enduring the pain in her wrist, "General Feng, this is the imperial palace, please show some respect!"

“Self-respect? Heh…” Feng Yu’s voice was deep and sinister, sending chills down one’s spine. “You dare to look down on this general!”

What audacity! This woman is probably the first person to look down on him!

He liked her boldness, but he didn't like that she was so bold as to disregard him!

Thinking of Bai Yi, Feng Yu's eyes narrowed even more. This woman's attitude towards Bai Yi and towards him was driving him even more crazy.

"General Feng, what are you saying? I am just a commoner, how could I look down on you? I don't know what you mean by that!" An Mi frowned slightly, but remained calm. In her heart, she thought to herself, "This Feng Yu is really difficult to deal with!"

Just as he was pondering how to break free from Feng Yu's grasp, a woman's sharp voice came from behind Feng Yu...

"What a shameless person An Mi! She actually tried to seduce General Feng in the Empress's palace! How could you be so shameless!"

An Mi and Feng Yu were both stunned. An Mi's vision was blocked by Feng Yu's tall figure, but even though she couldn't see who it was, she could tell who it was from the voice.

Yang Jingyu? Wasn't she banished from the palace by the Empress? How come she's here again?

A sudden voice made Feng Yu, who had his back to Yang Jingyu, frown, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face. Who was going to disturb his good time at this moment!

Little did Yang Jingyu know that she had angered General Feng. Her mind was completely clouded by jealousy of An Mi. At this moment, she only thought about how to vent her resentment. She rushed forward, pointing at An Mi all the way, like a shrew, and shouted, "An Mi, you vixen, I'll make you show your true colors today!"

An Mi's brows furrowed even more. A vixen? Revealing her true form? This Yang Jingyu is truly hilarious!

Feng Yu, who was initially somewhat angry, glanced at An Mi, and his previously furrowed brows relaxed. He chuckled and said, "Vixen? Did you hear that? This general would like to see if you have your true form!"

An Mi's lips twitched slightly, and she cursed inwardly, "Feng Yu, what a menace!"

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint General Feng." An Mi twitched the corner of her mouth and said in a cool tone, "But General Feng, a man like him, just stands by and watches a woman be wronged. Isn't that... Heh, I once thought that General Feng was a gentleman who knew how to distinguish right from wrong."

The two were so close that only they could hear their conversation. Even Yang Jingyu had only seen their intimacy but didn't know what they were saying. She assumed they were close and that's why she rushed out so noisily.

Upon hearing An Mi's words, Feng Yu paused slightly, then chuckled, "I'd rather personally uncover your true form than trouble others!"

Just then, Yang Jingyu rushed in front of the two of them, glaring fiercely at An Mi. Completely forgetting that she wanted to leave a good impression on Feng Yu, she acted on her own and raised her hand to slap An Mi's face. But before her hand could land, it got stuck in mid-air, and the force from her wrist made her frown.

“General Feng…” Yang Jingyu looked at the person holding her wrist. The other person’s ugly face made her realize how inappropriate her actions were. However, thinking that Feng Yu was protecting An Mi at this moment, the jealousy that was already burning in her heart became even more uncontrollable. “General Feng, don’t be deceived by her appearance. I… I am the one who will become your wife.”

Upon hearing this, both Feng Yu and An Mi's expressions changed. Feng Yu tightened his grip on Yang Jingyu's wrist, showing no mercy whatsoever. "What nonsense are you spouting!"

This woman who appeared out of nowhere? His future wife? Hmph, what an overconfident fool, she doesn't even deserve it!

Anmi, on the other hand, vaguely discerned some clues from the situation, and at this moment, she began to watch the show with amusement.

Yang Jingyu was clearly frightened by Feng Yu's shout, and her momentum weakened. However, she still wanted to prove that her words were not nonsense. Thinking of what her aunt Hanyu had just told her, she boldly said, "I am not talking nonsense. This is the Empress's will. The Empress has taken a liking to me, and only my family's background is worthy of General Feng. As for this woman... she is just a woman who shows her face in public and is not proper. General, walking with her will only disgrace your status."

An Mi smiled and immediately understood. So that's how it is. After Yu Ling'er's death, did Empress Feng intend to bring Yang Jingyu and Feng Yu together?

Considering Yang Jingyu's background, it's no wonder that Empress Feng would have such thoughts. Since Empress Feng had no hope of bringing the Yu family into the Feng family's camp, she would definitely set her sights on other families. However, doesn't Empress Feng even consider Yang Jingyu's qualifications?
