The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

“Anmi…” Yi Zhuxuan bit her lip. Anmi’s gaze made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles. However, thinking about where she was standing… she shouldn’t have come with that girl Shuangyue. If someone saw her and complained to the madam, and the madam and the young lady knew that she and Anmi were close, it would undoubtedly be harmful to her.

"Anmi, I'm leaving now." Yi Zhuxuan didn't dare to stay any longer. She turned around, wanting to leave, but before she could take a step, Anmi's voice came from behind her.

"Zhuxuan... wait a minute." Anmi froze at the sight of the figure, her eyes narrowing slightly. Was she afraid that getting closer to her would bring trouble upon herself? Ha... then how could she let her leave?

Yi Zhuxuan stood still, without moving. An Mi frowned slightly and said weakly, "Zhuxuan, would you like to come in for a moment?"

Yi Zhuxuan frowned, looking troubled. After a moment of hesitation, she finally turned around, a smile blooming on her face. She walked to An Mi's bedside, took An Mi's hand, and said with concern, "An Mi, you scared me to death! Zhuxuan should have been with Miss. Knowing that Fifth Miss summoning you there would not be anything good, Zhuxuan would rather have been the one kicked by Fifth Miss than have Miss suffer like this."

Looking at Yi Zhuxuan's appearance, An Mi felt a genuine concern in her eyes. The image of Yi Zhuxuan's actions towards Liu'er that she had witnessed when her soul was suspended in mid-air flashed through her mind. An Mi's eyes flickered. What a skilled actress Yi Zhuxuan was! If she didn't know her true nature, anyone would be fooled.

"Really? I've always known that Zhuxuan treats me the best." Anmi spoke softly, her voice devoid of any emotion. Her gaze passed over Yi Zhuxuan, and when she saw a figure flash past the door, a smile appeared on her lips. She patted Yi Zhuxuan's hand and said, "Go do your work. Don't leave it unfinished and get punished by Madam again."

Yi Zhuxuan felt as if she had been granted a pardon and was overjoyed. "Okay, then I'll be going now."

After saying that, she hurriedly left the room. An Mi watched her receding figure, and the gentle smile that had been on her lips was now tinged with a hint of unease. Yi Zhuxuan, Yi Zhuxuan, you probably don't know that the thing you feared most has already happened!

Thinking of the figure that had just flashed past her door, An Mi frowned. If she guessed correctly, that person must have already gone to complain to the madam by now.

In this An residence, there are Madam's spies everywhere!

The more Yi Zhuxuan tries to sever ties with her, the less she will let her have her way. Feeling the pain in her chest, she knew her injury wouldn't heal anytime soon. However, she figured Yi Zhuxuan wouldn't be doing well either!

As long as she is not so bad to Madam Yi'an and the eldest and fifth young ladies, the only person who will be 'close' to her will have to bear their harassment, since she is not good enough to let them bully her.

Ah! How could she not take good care of her former "sister" upon seeing her again? Consider this her greeting gift to Yi Zhuxuan!

Anmi closed her eyes, the image of her newborn daughter, covered in blood and gore, lingering in her mind. Liu'er's cries continued unabated, and Anmi's heart ached with each passing moment. The Liu family, and all those who had plotted against her, should just wait and see, wait for her revenge!

"Doctor, come in quickly, this is it. My young lady is inside. Please take a look at her, she's vomited a lot of blood." Shuangyue's worried voice rang out from outside, interrupting Anmi's thoughts.

Anmi opened her eyes and saw Shuangyue leading a man in a blue robe into the room. Anmi frowned as she looked at that face, the familiar features of which made her frown. Fragments of memories flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fate really does have its own arrangements. Some things are unavoidable, like this unassuming doctor in front of her. She remembered that in her previous life, he was the one who treated her.

Who would have thought that this doctor, dressed in a blue robe and looking slightly haggard, actually had such a noble status!

The man in the blue robe met An Mi's eyes and was slightly surprised. This woman was already so weak, yet her eyes were still so clear and bright. If it were an ordinary woman, she would probably have cried out in pain by now!

At that moment, the doctor in the green robe couldn't help but glance at An Mi a few more times. Remembering the purpose of his visit, the doctor immediately went to the bedside and said, "Miss, please allow me to examine your injury."

He was already quite surprised when he entered the courtyard. The girl Shuangyue called him "Miss," but the courtyard he was in was clearly a simple servant's quarters. A young lady of noble birth was living in a servant's quarters. In the room, besides the wooden bed, there was only a wooden table and a loose stool. This... was truly interesting!

"Shuangyue, now that the doctor has arrived, you may leave," Anmi said in a deep voice, her gaze passing over the doctor in the blue robe.

"How can this be? Shuangyue must stay with Miss. If Shuangyue is here, she can also help the doctor. After the doctor writes the prescription, Shuangyue will also need to decoct the medicine for Miss..." Shuangyue said anxiously, her mind only on Miss's injuries. She had vomited so much blood. Just how serious were her injuries?

"Alright, there's a doctor here, what can you do to help? As for the medicine..." An Mi's eyes darkened. How could she let Shuang Yue do these things for her? If Madam An and the others found out, Shuang Yue would definitely be in big trouble. Shuang Yue was the only person who treated her well at the moment, and she couldn't put her in danger. As for the medicine... she still had someone to ask, didn't she?

Yi Zhuxuan, she has plenty of ways to make things difficult for her!

Seeing that Shuangyue was still standing there unwilling to leave, Anmi looked displeased. "I told you to get down, what are you still standing there for? Do you really not listen to me anymore?"

Shuangyue was startled and immediately said hastily, "Miss, please...Miss, please don't be angry, please listen, I'll go right away." As she spoke, she looked at Anmi with a wronged expression, then turned her gaze to the doctor in the blue robe, "Doctor, please...please take a good look at Miss, her injuries..."

Shuangyue noticed that Anmi's brows were furrowed even more, and fearing that her mistress's anger would worsen her injuries, she dared not say anything more and quickly left the room.

Hey……

Anmi let out a long sigh, finally feeling relieved. She remembered clearly how many punishments Shuangyue had suffered in the past because of her close relationship with her. She had always been devoted to her, but in this life, she couldn't bear to see Shuangyue get hurt. From now on, she would protect this girl in her own way!

"Why did you deliberately drive her away?" the man in the blue robe asked slowly, a departure from his usual habit of never talking to patients during consultations. He actually wanted to exchange a few words with this woman.

The sudden sound brought An Mi back to her senses. She met the smiling eyes of the man in the blue robe and couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. Just now, those eyes had been restrained, but now they had a bit more spirit. Thinking of the man's identity, An Mi tugged at the corner of her mouth. He was a shrewd man, and it was quite normal for him to see through her intention to drive Shuang Yue away.
