The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

By feeding the Gu with blood, the Gu worms will also become tainted with the owner's aura.

In this world today, perhaps only that person has inherited such abilities. What displeases him even more is that he also sensed that aura outside An Mi's door! Has that person been in contact with An Mi? What is his purpose in coming to Rong Jincheng?

His large hand unconsciously clenched into a fist. No matter what his purpose was, he couldn't possibly involve An Mi!

That figure flashed into her mind... a hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes. Thinking of the schemes that she had overheard at the An residence, involving Yu Fangfei and her two daughters, her brows furrowed even more. So, it turned out that Madam An and her two daughters were so intolerant of An Mi!

In Rong Jincheng, the most important event recently is the marriage of the richest man's son and the fifth young lady of the An family. It is said that the wedding date is set on the richest man's birthday, to symbolize double happiness. Since the day the date was set, both mansions have been extremely busy.

It is said that when Master Liu returned to Rongjin City and learned about the marriage between the two families, he was very satisfied. He even declared that the Liu family would spend a lot of money to make the wedding unprecedentedly grand.

Rumors circulated that someone was planning to open an embroidery shop across from Liu's Embroidery Shop. Those who heard the news all looked disdainful. Opening an embroidery shop across from Liu's Embroidery Shop was clearly an attempt to steal Liu's business. But how could anyone possibly win against Liu's Embroidery Shop? This was probably courting disaster!

Days passed by like this, and finally the wedding day arrived. Early in the morning, everyone in the An household, from Madam An to the kitchen maids, got up early, around midnight.

According to Rong Jincheng's wedding customs, the bride has to get up early to dress up and wait for the groom's wedding procession to arrive.

The courtyard where An Xinhe lived was brightly lit and bustling with activity. An Mi had been instructed by Yu Fangfei the night before to serve An Xinhe early in the morning. As soon as An Mi entered the room, she heard the flattering voices of the maids inside...

"Fifth Miss, you look absolutely stunning today! You are the most beautiful woman imaginable, even a celestial being could not compare!"

"What Fifth Miss? Are you confused? From today onwards, you should be called Young Madam. The young madam of the richest family, with mountains of gold and silver, is not a fate everyone has. Young Madam, don't you agree?"

The maid's flattery made An Xinhe very happy. Looking at the woman in the bright red wedding robe in the mirror, the young mistress... Liu Zhan's wife... the young mistress of the richest man... Maybe soon, when Liu Zhan takes over the family, wouldn't she be the mistress of the richest man's household?

Thinking of this, An Xinhe smiled even more smugly, and looked at An Xinlian beside her, "Sister, Liu Zhan is the only young master of the Liu family, and there is only one young mistress. I am indeed very lucky!"

An Xinlian smiled and said, "You're lucky!"

Xinhe is so lucky, she is determined not to let her own life be so bad. Thinking of Qinglan, An Xinlian's eyes shone even brighter.

A hint of irony surfaced in An Mi's heart. The only young master of the Liu family? Some things are never as they appear on the surface. Thinking of what Madam Liu had done in secret in her past life, An Mi's eyes narrowed. What Madam Liu probably least wanted was for the world to know about the existence of the Liu family's illegitimate son! And that person was no less capable than Liu Zhan!

This was indeed a threat to Madam Liu. That's why, in her past life, she schemed so hard to make that mother and son die an unexplained death. But in this life...

It would be a waste not to take advantage of this, wouldn't it?

If that person were to appear on Master Liu's birthday... hehe, things would be even more interesting. Thinking of the person she had secretly left the manor for several nights in a row to visit, An Mi's lips curled up imperceptibly.

As a son and younger brother, how could I possibly be absent from my father's birthday celebration and my elder brother's wedding?

Thinking of this, An Mi felt even more excited. She could hardly wait to see the commotion that person would cause when he appeared in front of everyone. She thought that the expression on Madam Liu's face at that moment would be quite interesting!

And this... was merely an appetizer she served up for the Liu family's joyous occasion today.

"An Mi!" An Xinhe's voice rang out loudly. An Mi snapped out of her daze and looked up at the other woman, only to see a hint of malice in the half-smile on her face. An Mi was slightly taken aback, but remained calm. "What are your orders, Fifth Miss?"

"Today is our big day," An Xinhe said with a knowing smile.

An Xinhe glared at An Mi, seemingly giving her a wink, and then said to An Mi, "An Mi, you don't need to go to the Liu family today. Stay in the manor, understand?"

Anmi lowered her brows and said, "Yes."

An Mi answered outwardly, but inwardly she was pondering the abnormality she had just noticed. An Xinhe's eyes were clearly extremely malicious. Their big day? An Mi secretly murmured the words, finding them very strange.

Her intuition told her that nothing good was likely going to happen!

However... not letting her go to the Liu family saved her a lot of trouble.

As Anmi was thinking, she heard a lively commotion outside, followed by the festive sounds of firecrackers and suona horns.

"Oh, the groom is here! Fifth Master... no, no, Young Madam, the young master of the Liu family has come to fetch the bride!" the maid said busily, and the atmosphere in the room became lively.

An Xinhe even stood up excitedly, seemingly eager to rush out and see Liu Zhan's groom attire as soon as possible. But just as she made a move, An Xinlian reminded her, "Xinhe, you must pay close attention to your demeanor today. Whether you are a young lady of the An family or a young mistress of the Liu family, you must be dignified and elegant. Today, the whole city is watching!"

An Xinhe temporarily suppressed her excitement, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and adopted the elegant demeanor of a well-bred lady. She let An Xinlian cover her head with the bridal veil. Just as she was about to be helped out by the maid, she heard An Xinhe under the bridal veil speak again, "An Mi, come and help this lady!"

She wanted Anmi to help her into the bridal sedan chair. From now on, she would enjoy her happiness and prestige all to herself, while Anmi... today was her hell!

An Mi was slightly taken aback. "This lady?" Did An Xinhe still think she was the young mistress of the Liu family?

Whether it goes smoothly or not is still uncertain! Considering her plans for today, An Mi didn't say much. Should she help her up? It would be good to see her off!

An Mi obediently walked to An Xinhe's side, took An Xinhe's hand from another maid, and only after An Mi helped her up did An Xinhe take a step forward, and with An Mi's support, walk towards the door of the room...

The main hall of the An residence was filled with guests and was very lively.

An Yuefeng and Yu Fangfei were overjoyed. Seeing the bride being helped into the hall, Yu Fangfei rushed forward and took An Xinhe's hand, "Quick, quick, the groom has been waiting outside for a while. Let's hurry out so we don't miss the auspicious time!"
