The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Although Feng Yu was wary, he was certain that Bai Yi wouldn't dare kill him like that. The house wasn't in his name, and given Bai Yi's cautious nature, he would only get himself into trouble if he dared to act first and report later over something so trivial.

Feng Yu was certain of this, and chuckled, "Bai Yi, your scheme won't succeed!"

He saw the killing intent in Bai Yi's eyes and understood that he wanted to take this opportunity to avenge his sister. However, he was overestimating himself!

"Oh? Is that so?" Bai Yi's eyes flashed, and he said sarcastically in a low voice, "How do you know what I'm scheming about? I wouldn't stoop to scheming against you!"

When Feng Yu met his eyes, he was startled, and his bad premonition grew stronger.

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside, followed by a loud male voice filled with urgency and fear, "Report..."

All attention was focused on the constable who was jogging towards them from the doorway. The constable was in such a hurry that he didn't even care about the other people in the room. He went straight to the Prefect of the Capital, leaned close to his ear, and whispered something. You could see his lips moving, but you couldn't hear what he said at all.

Wang Meng's face looked as if the sky was about to collapse, and his expression flickered with panic. "Take me to see!"

As Wang Meng spoke, he threw away the rope that had been binding Feng Yu and strode out the door. But as soon as he reached the door, he seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped. He turned back to look at Feng Yu with a very complicated expression, as if he was struggling with something. Feng Yu was also confused by his gaze. The next moment, he heard Wang Meng's loud and firm command, "Men, take Feng Yu down!"

Wang Meng knew that the situation had changed, and he was no longer afraid of Feng Yu.

"Yes!" Upon hearing Wang Meng's order, the constables outside rushed into the room. Seeing this, Feng Yu felt a sense of foreboding. Although he didn't know what had happened, his intuition and Wang Meng's attitude told him that something had exceeded his expectations.

Feng Yu instinctively resisted, but just as he was about to make a move, the sharp sword on his shoulder quickly approached his neck. A sharp pain came from his neck, and Feng Yu froze, not daring to make any further movement. He looked up and met Bai Yi's eyes, which seemed to be telling him that if he dared to make any further moves, he would kill him without hesitation!

Compared to before, Bai Yi's attitude remained unchanged this time. However, Feng Yu was afraid. He knew that what was happening now, which he was unaware of, might have become so serious that even if Bai Yi killed him on the spot, he would not be affected in any way!

A flicker of fear flashed in Feng Yu's eyes, but his heart was filled with resentment. He stared intently at Bai Yi and gritted his teeth as he questioned, "What exactly did you do?"

He believed that Bai Yi must have done something to frame him!

However, Bai Yi seemed not to have heard, and casually turned his eyes away, gesturing to the constables standing to the side, "Didn't you hear the order from the Prefect of the Capital?"

"We heard it, of course we heard it!" The constables snapped out of their daze and, without the slightest hesitation, quickly stepped forward and neatly tied Feng Yu up. When Bai Yi removed the sword from Feng Yu's neck, Feng Yu was already under the control of the constables, with no possibility of escape whatsoever!

Bai Yi sheathed his sword, walked to An Mi's side, grasped her hand, and said loudly, "I'm sorry you suffered tonight. I will not let this matter rest. Tonight, I will go to the palace and ask my father to settle things and get justice for you!"

An Mi lowered her brows and bit her lip slightly, looking exactly like a frightened young woman!

An Mi glanced at Feng Yu, meeting his gaze directly. His eyes were clearly filled with anger and resentment, and a chill ran through An Mi. Angry? What right did Feng Yu have to be angry? Thinking of the villagers of Widow Village, An Mi's eyes darkened. She had promised to use the culprit's blood to appease them, and she would not break her word. This time, Feng Yu would die a horrible death!

Besides him, there's also Yi Zhuxuan!

Recalling Yi Zhuxuan's expression just now, An Mi's lips curled up slightly.

At this moment, Yi Zhuxuan was on high alert, facing Liuguang and Yifei. The noise outside the door made her look a little flustered.

What on earth is going on? How did Liuguang and Yifei, the two maids, end up here?

“You…” Yi Zhuxuan’s eyes flickered uneasily, a guess emerging in her mind, but she was ultimately unwilling to admit it. How could it be? She had been so careful, how could An Mi have noticed anything amiss?

Since Anmi has already seen through the deception, why should she continue to let her deceive her?

Yifei had always disliked Yizhuxuan. As if she could see through her thoughts, she showed no mercy in making her face reality, "Just as you thought, you fell for her trap. Did you think my young lady was really a fool? Did she really trust you? All her trust was just an illusion to show you. Ha! You thought your plan was so clever, you stupid woman!"

Yi Zhuxuan's face was already as black as it could possibly be, her hands clenched into tight fists. An Mi, she hated her so much!

"General Feng..." Yi Zhuxuan seemed to think of something, but the noise outside made her last hope vanish instantly.

Liu Guang had no desire to continue dealing with a woman like Yi Zhuxuan. Her eyes narrowed, and she swiftly grabbed Yi Zhuxuan's wrist. "Come with me! My young lady wants to see you!"

Having said that, before Yi Zhuxuan could have any chance to resist, Liu Guang pulled her out of the room...

Inside the courtyard, torches illuminated the entire space. When Yi Zhuxuan saw Feng Yu again, he was being escorted away, his face contorted with bulging veins.

“General…” Yi Zhuxuan called out. The next moment, Feng Yu’s sharp gaze swept over her. Yi Zhuxuan was stunned. She had never seen him look so terrifying.

Before Feng Yu could reprimand Yi Zhuxuan, Wang Meng led his men out of a room, his face grim. Several constables behind him carried a box and approached.

"What exactly happened?" Bai Yi asked calmly. Feng Yu stared intently at the wooden box, and as if he had thought of something, his expression became even more panicked.

"How could this be... how could this be?" Feng Yu murmured, his eyes flashing with unease.

Wang Meng walked solemnly to Bai Yi, "Your Highness, please take a look..."

Wang Meng personally opened the box. When the bright yellow color inside was revealed to Bai Yi, a subtle glint flashed in Bai Yi's eyes, which quickly disappeared. Ah, Feng Yu, this time, I don't need to kill you. Someone else will send you to meet the King of Hell!
