The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

However… An Mi’s eyes darkened slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, she asked, “May I borrow your needle and thread?”

As soon as she finished speaking, someone handed her a needle and thread. An Mi chose a color, held the needle in her hand, and under everyone's gaze, the needle and thread in her hand seemed to come alive, quickly weaving through a corner of the already embroidered handkerchief. Even those present, all skilled embroiderers, couldn't help but stare in amazement.

All they knew was that the girl was kind-hearted and had brought them many necessities for their lives. What made them like the girl even more was that she never looked at them with disgust or contempt, but only with respect.

They were surprised to find that the girl's embroidery skills were so impressive. How old was she? She looked to be only seventeen, but the skill she displayed in embroidery was beyond what a seventeen-year-old girl could achieve.

"Alright, from now on, on every piece of embroidery, regardless of size, embroider this mark in the lower right corner."

Just as everyone was marveling at the beauty, An Mi had already put away her needlework. When everyone came to their senses, they were even more amazed when they saw the pattern in the lower right corner of the embroidered handkerchief.

"flame……"

It was a flame, reddish with a golden hue, lifelike, burning exceptionally brightly.

“Yes, flames.” Anmi spoke in a deep voice. This was the flame of her revenge, and she would use this “flame” to bring those people utter destruction!

"Miss, these embroidered items..." someone asked tentatively. Not long ago, the young lady had sent over high-quality fabrics and other embroidery materials, asking them to start embroidering, but she hadn't explained the purpose of these embroidered items.

Everyone looked at Anmi when she asked this question, seemingly very curious about the answer.

An Mi simply smiled and said, "You'll find out when the time comes, but before that, you should embroider more."

What is the purpose of these embroidered items? Anmi thought about her plan, and the smile on her lips grew even wider.

She already had a plan in mind on how to spread the flames to the Liu family and how to illuminate the entire Rongjin City, and she even looked forward to that day.

Anmi knew that day was not far off!

Meanwhile, in a courtyard in Rong Jincheng, Bai Yi was personally coaxing Liu'er to sleep. Just as he stepped out the door, he encountered Uncle Ji rushing towards him. Uncle Ji was in such a hurry that he must have something important to do!

"king……"

"Shh!" Bai Yi gestured for Uncle Ji to be quiet, carefully closed Liu'er's door, turned and left. He stopped after walking a certain distance and asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"

“Your Highness, the Prince of Donglin has arrived in Rongjin City, this…” Uncle Ji hurriedly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi's eyes lit up with a smile, and he chuckled, "Have we finally arrived? It's about time."

Knowing that he was in his territory, how could his fourth brother sleep soundly in Jicheng?

"Is there anything else?" Bai Yi stood with his hands behind his back, wanting to see when the fourth brother would come knocking and what kind of expression he would have!

Uncle Ji was slightly taken aback before realizing that the Prince had anticipated the arrival of the Prince of Donglin in Rongjin City.

Frowning slightly, Uncle Ji continued, "Your Highness, we just received a message from Shao Shang via carrier pigeon from the capital, saying that he has canceled his cooperation with Yao Family Tea Garden. However, the very next day after the cancellation, Yao Family Tea Garden found a new partner."

Bai Yi's handsome brows furrowed slightly. "Is it the Liu family patriarch from Rong Jincheng?"

“Exactly! The Liu family patriarch was overjoyed to get this business deal. After signing the contract, he began his return to Rongjin City. He should arrive in Rongjin City soon.” Uncle Ji replied, watching Bai Yi’s expression. He saw that Bai Yi’s furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a profound smile appeared on his handsome face.

"I hereby issue a letter of divorce. You shall immediately deliver it to the An residence and give it to the second young lady, An Mi!" Bai Yi declared loudly. After saying this, he frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up. He said meaningfully, "Fine, I will go to her myself!"

With that, his tall figure strode towards the door...

After leaving the widow's village, An Mi did not go directly back to the An residence, but instead instructed the coachman to take her to the prison.

The carriage had just arrived a short distance from the prison when a fierce voice came from ahead...

"Do you even know who I am? You've taken a lot of money from me all this time, and now you won't even help me out? You're all a bunch of ingrates!" The voice was filled with obvious anger and frustration, and even a hint of arrogance.

An Mi smiled slightly. Even if that voice turned to ashes, she would still recognize it!

Besides Liu Zhan, who else could it be? An Mi didn't need to think to know why Liu Zhan came here, but it seemed that he had obviously run into a snag.

“Young Master Liu, it’s not that we don’t want you to come in, it’s just that there are regulations from above, which is really putting us in a difficult position, Young Master Liu…”

Anmi's carriage finally stopped in front of the prison. Liu Zhan outside angrily cursed a few times before leaving dejectedly. Anmi slightly lifted the curtain, and only half of her body could be seen from the outside, her face unclear. Liu Zhan turned to leave, just in time to see the carriage parked beside him. For some reason, his anger intensified, and he flicked his sleeves, filled with rage.

After Liu Zhan boarded the carriage, An Mi got off and went directly to the gatekeeper. She whispered something in his ear. The gatekeeper frowned slightly, as if he was troubled by something. He looked An Mi over inquiringly, but in the end, he let her in.

On the other side, Liu Zhan, who was in the carriage, saw that the woman had been let in so easily, and his face darkened even more. He slammed down the curtain and ordered sharply, "Return to the manor!"

As Anmi entered the prison, the sounds of wailing and screaming filled her ears. Before long, guided by the jailer, Anmi arrived at a cell door. Her eyes scanned the people inside, and she finally spotted that figure among them.

"Zhuxuan..." Anmi called softly, her voice devoid of any emotion.

The woman, huddled in the corner, suddenly looked up, saw An Mi, and hurriedly got up. She staggered over and reached out from behind the iron bars, as if trying to grab An Mi as a lifeline, but her hand could only reach into the air, grasping nothing. "An Mi, save me... please get me out of here..."

An Mi gave a faint twitch of her lips, looked at Yi Zhuxuan waving her hand, frowned, took a few steps forward, stared at Yi Zhuxuan for a moment, and said with a frown, "Zhuxuan, have you forgotten your identity again!"

Yi Zhuxuan was stunned for a moment, then knelt heavily on the ground, her eyes filled with fear. "Miss, please find a way to get me out of here. I don't want to stay here. This is not a place for a human being."

As soon as Yi Zhuxuan finished speaking, several prisoners in the cell behind her stepped forward, pushed her to the ground, and kicked her several times, saying unhappily, "What do you mean it's not a place for humans? You bitch, aren't death row inmates human too?"
