The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

The anger in my heart grew rapidly like weeds, becoming uncontrollable.

Meanwhile, Fu Laoliu smirked lewdly, "Hehe, she said you're going to marry me. Today's an auspicious day, so let's consummate our marriage early, haha... Let me taste the flavors of a rich young lady and see if it's as enchanting as I imagined."

Having said that, he pulled hard, trying to draw An Mi back into his arms. Just then, with a bang, the door that had just been closed was flung open. An Mi and Fu Lao Liu both looked towards the doorway. Upon seeing who it was, An Mi felt a surge of joy...

"I..." Fu Laoliu had only managed to utter two words when one of the two men at the door rushed up and kicked away his hand that was holding An Mi. The force was so great that it slammed him heavily against the wall.

The other person pulled Anmi into their arms, gently stroking her back, as if to soothe her frightened heart.

"Ah...ah..."

The atmosphere in the room was very strange. Apart from the sound of fists and the howling of Fu Lao Liu as he was being beaten, like a pig being slaughtered, there was no other sound.

An Mi was encircled by Bai Yi's long arm. She slightly raised her head from his embrace and saw his taut chin. From this angle, he looked exceptionally resolute. Bai Yi at this moment was different from the Bai Yi she had seen before. He was a cunning fox, but now she saw a fierce lion. The rage and killing intent bursting from his eyes made people tremble involuntarily.

Rumor has it that the King of Bohai has a volatile personality, behaves eccentrically, and is even violent!

Was it because she almost fell victim to that old man's evil deeds that he was so angry?

An Mi frowned for no reason. In the blink of an eye, her gaze fell on another man who came in with Bai Yi. Dressed in a blue robe, the usually refined doctor was now using the same hands that he used to treat patients to give Fu Laoliu a terrible lesson.

She had always known that Qinglan, the doctor in Rongjin City, was not the real Qinglan. He was the eldest prince of the Great Jin Dynasty. In her previous life, she had seen his cold and aloof face from afar. Now, seeing the once gentle and refined young master beating a man like this, the visual impact was truly shocking to An Mi.

"Kill him!" A cold voice rang out from above, chilling everyone to the bone like a blade.

Qinglan's body stiffened for a moment, and the next instant she pulled a dagger from the boot under her robe. The blade was sharp and exuded a chilling aura.

Fu Laoliu was completely disoriented from the beating. Despite his usual strength, he was utterly powerless against Qinglan's fists. Seeing the sharp dagger in Qinglan's hand, Fu Laoliu realized something, and his fear deepened. "Don't kill me... have mercy, don't kill me..."

Qinglan's eyes were burning with fury. If she had arrived even a little later... Her eyes narrowed, and she tightened her grip on the dagger, bringing it down on Fu Laoliu... She wouldn't let this worthless life go!

"Wait!"

Just a second before the dagger was about to strike Fu Laoliu, a woman's voice rang out.

The dagger didn't fall, and Fu Laoliu was overjoyed. He looked at An Mi as if he had found a lifeline, "Miss, spare my life, spare my dog's life."

Qinglan frowned as she gripped the dagger and looked at An Mi. Bai Yi's deep eyes also tightened as he looked at An Mi. "Don't be so soft-hearted. This person must die. There's no room for discussion!"

After saying that, Bai Yi released An Mi from his embrace, stepped forward with sharp strides, snatched the dagger from Qing Lan's hand, and his killing intent in his eyes became even more intense.

Fu Laoliu seemed to see the King of Hell descend upon him, and even forgot to beg for mercy. Seeing this, An Mi frowned. Just as the dagger in Bai Yi's hand was about to pierce Fu Laoliu's heart, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Bai Yi's wrist.

Bai Yi looked coldly at An Mi. This woman, she sympathizes with the person who wanted to hurt her? And she wants to repay evil with kindness?

Anmi seemed to see the accusation and disdain in his eyes. Meeting his gaze, she tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "I, Anmi, have never been one to claim to be kind-hearted. I will not offend others unless they offend me. If they do offend me... Hmph, even if it's ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times, I will make them pay back every single penny."

Bai Yi noticed a change in An Mi's expression, and the grip on the dagger gradually loosened slightly.

Qinglan's gaze was also fixed on Anmi. Gone was the fierce and violent rage he had shown when he beat Fu Laoliu, but he was also no longer as refined as before. The aura he exuded seemed to have been tempered in an ice cellar, and the gloom in his eyes made it impossible to tell what he was thinking. After a moment, he finally spoke, "This person was arranged by Madam An and her two daughters."

Upon hearing this, An Mi looked at Qing Lan with surprise, her eyes revealing no doubt. How did he know? His tone was so certain!

Upon hearing Qinglan's words, Bai Yi instantly understood, his anger intensifying. However, his gaze towards An Mi softened considerably, as if he had already guessed An Mi's thoughts.

Qinglan noticed Anmi's question and said in a deep voice, "I overheard their conversation. They wanted to marry Anmi off to this beast, and they even wanted to..."

At this point, Qinglan suddenly stopped, her eyes burning with intense anger.

Bai Yi and An Mi are both very intelligent people. After Qing Lan said these things, they already understood what he was going to say. Yu Fangfei and her daughter wanted to marry An Mi to this Fu Lao Liu and even planned to make An Mi lose her virginity to him beforehand.

"Damn it, those three women are really vicious." Bai Yi spat lightly. Thinking of An Mi losing her virginity to someone, an even stronger fire suddenly rose in his heart. He wished he could tear the mother and her two daughters to pieces.

No wonder Qinglan rushed to find Anmi earlier; did he anticipate that Anmi's situation was unsafe?

Thank goodness, thank goodness they arrived in time.

"Anmi thanks you both for saving me." Anmi curtsied, having already regained her composure.

Qinglan and Baiyi lowered their gazes slightly, seemingly disliking Anmi's thanks. The word "thank you" made them feel a distance, a distance neither of them liked.

"You're not going to let this go, are you?" Bai Yi glanced at An Mi. The An Mi he knew was the kind who would seek revenge. He didn't usually like women who were good at scheming, but An Mi made him feel that if a woman had a little scheming, at least she could protect herself. That was... good!

An Mi raised the corner of her mouth, her smile tinged with coldness. "Let it go? If An Mi were to let it go like this, she would be letting herself and the two of you down. That's why An Mi is trying to stop you from killing this person."

Bai Yi and Qing Lan looked at An Mi with interest in their eyes.

"What are you going to do?" Qinglan's voice regained a little warmth.

An Mi glanced sideways at Fu Laoliu on the ground, and Fu Laoliu immediately became trembling with fear and trepidation. He was no longer the same person who had bullied An Mi just moments before. He knew clearly that his fate was in the hands of this woman.
