The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

The air in the room seemed to freeze. Yi Zhuxuan stared at Feng Yu, waiting for his reaction. The thought in her mind became even more firm: she would not let An Mi be so happy!

Finally, Feng Yu raised his sharp eyebrows and looked at Yi Zhuxuan thoughtfully. His gaze made Yi Zhuxuan even more nervous. After a long silence, she heard his cold voice sound in a deep voice, "Back then, I took you in because I valued your ruthlessness. What woman could be as ruthless as you? Hmph, you are truly a woman with a heart of a snake."

Yi Zhuxuan froze, the memory of her throat being gripped by Feng Yu's large hand flashing back into her mind. The feeling of having her life and death firmly in someone else's hands was vividly clear, and she could even feel as if Feng Yu's large hand was tightly holding her neck.

Feng Yu paused, his sharp gaze that had been fixed on Yi Zhuxuan's face sweeping over her once more. His eyes suddenly sharpened, and for a moment, perhaps because the aura emanating from him was too intimidating, Yi Zhuxuan subconsciously took a step back.

Clearly, this reaction greatly pleased Feng Yu. A smile played on Feng Yu's lips as he said, word by word, "This is a one-time exception. From now on, no matter how much you hate An Mi, you must keep that ruthlessness in check. If I find out you dare to do this again..."

Although Feng Yu was smiling, it did not diminish the warning in his words. On the contrary, it made Yi Zhuxuan feel even more that Feng Yu's warning was not a joke.

Yi Zhuxuan wasn't stupid. Although Feng Yu's words were a warning, they implied that he had accepted her proposal.

Have you accepted it? That's good!

"Yes, just this once. This time, I was only thinking of my master. In the future, Miss Anmi will be my master. I will be too busy to take good care of her. How could I have the ambition and courage to hate her or plot against her?" Yi Zhuxuan said fearfully.

Yes, she only needs this one time to ruin Anmi's future happiness. Then she won't bother to scheme anymore. In the future, she'll have plenty of time and opportunities to watch Anmi suffer. She just needs to watch!

Feng Yu narrowed his eyes, thinking of what Yi Zhuxuan had just said, and a smile appeared on his lips. He suddenly felt much better, and even the groom's suit on the table no longer seemed so glaring.

This day was destined to be extraordinary. Two grand weddings in the capital were bound to be spectacular, and several days ago, they had already stirred up the entire capital. Everyone was thinking that they couldn't miss the grand scene of the Crown Prince marrying his concubine and General Feng getting married. However, there was one person who had absolutely no interest in joining in the excitement.

An Mi originally planned to stay in the Bohai Prince's Mansion and not go out, but plans can't always keep up with changes.

Early in the morning, Bai Yi ordered someone to send over clothes. When An Mi saw the magnificent palace dress, she knew why Bai Yi had asked her to change into it. Did he want her to attend the wedding?

An Mi frowned, thinking of Qing Lan. If she were standing with Bai Yi at this moment, would it further arouse his displeasure?

"Take it back." An Mi sat on the couch and calmly instructed the maid who brought the clothes.

"But..." The maid looked troubled. The prince had ordered that the young lady should change into this dress. She dared not disobey the young lady's wishes. The dress that the prince had given her showed the young lady's status in the mansion and in the prince's heart. It seemed that soon the young lady would be more than just a young lady.

The maid smiled and said in a soft, ingratiating voice, "Miss, His Highness has instructed that you change your clothes. He is waiting in the main hall."

An Mi twitched the corner of her mouth. What was she waiting for? To attend a wedding?

“Go back and tell the Prince that I am not feeling well today and will not be going out,” An Mi said firmly, still sticking to her decision.

"This..." The maid panicked, not knowing what to do. She glanced at Liuguang and Yifei, who had been serving her mistress in the room, as if asking them to put in a good word for her.

Liu Guang and Yi Fei exchanged a glance. They looked at the clothes and understood what it meant. They were also very happy. Just as they were thinking about how to persuade their young lady to change into the clothes, their thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sound coming from outside.

"Are you feeling unwell?" A deep voice came from behind. The maid carrying the clothes hurriedly stepped back and bowed hastily. An Mi looked up at Bai Yi walking towards her. His magnificent brocade robe made his tall figure appear even more upright, and the heroic spirit between his brows even made An Mi pause in surprise.

"Where do you feel unwell? I'll have someone go to the palace to fetch the imperial physician to examine you." While An Mi was still in a daze, Bai Yi had already walked to her side, his gaze fixed on An Mi with a deep, enigmatic look. He spoke with a half-smile, as if he could see right through An Mi's thoughts. What unwell? It was just an excuse.

An Mi understood Bai Yi's meaning, glanced at him, and said calmly, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Your Highness, but the imperial physicians in the palace are too precious. Given An Mi's status, an ordinary doctor would be sufficient. Why don't you find an ordinary doctor for An Mi?"

That meant she was clearly going to continue faking her illness, and even if she was exposed, it wouldn't change her mind.

Bai Yi's lips twitched involuntarily. This woman was really hard to please!

Frowning slightly, Bai Yi took the clothes from the maid and placed them beside An Mi. When he faced An Mi again, his eyes were filled with a determined resolve. Today, even if Mi'er was extremely unwilling, he would still make her come to the wedding with him. Thinking of his plan, a strange light flickered in Bai Yi's eyes.

If she, the main character, doesn't go, how can his plan go on?

"There's something I'm not sure if I should say, but I've suddenly frowned, as if he's hesitant to speak."

When had Bai Yi ever hesitated like this before? At that moment, An Mi's curiosity was piqued, and she blurted out, "What is it that can't be said? Why is Your Highness keeping us in suspense?"

As soon as An Mi finished speaking, she saw Bai Yi's eyes light up. An Mi's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized what was going on. She couldn't help but curse under her breath. This Bai Yi had deliberately dug a pit for her to fall into!

Given the current situation, he has been granted permission, and what he has to say will likely be something she cannot refuse.

Seeing An Mi's remorseful expression, Bai Yi's smile deepened. He loved her like this. Mi'er had always been intelligent, and only in moments like this did he feel that he could control this woman.

Just as An Mi had guessed, now that Bai Yi had received permission, he naturally went along with it. His brows furrowed even more, and he said with a worried expression, "Liu'er, she..."
