The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

He noticed that his third brother was getting close to a certain woman, which made him wary.

But who is that woman?

Suddenly, a gentle breeze lifted a corner of the woman's veil, and the King of Donglin froze. Although it was only for a moment and only a profile was visible, he recognized her!

The image of a woman floated into his mind—the woman on the city gate street that day, the figure at the entrance of the An Mansion just now, and the mysterious girl with a white veil covering her face in his eyes. The corners of Donglin Wang's mouth unconsciously turned up into a smile.

An Mi, the second young lady of the An family?

Ha! Interesting!

Just moments ago, the young lady from the An family was still there, but now she has transformed into a mysterious woman attending a wedding at the Liu family's residence. How could this not arouse his curiosity?

Moreover, she was wearing a veil; was she trying to avoid being recognized? What was she up to?

The more he thought about it, the more interested the King of Donglin became. He even stopped paying attention to his third brother and kept his eyes fixed on that white figure.

"The bride and groom bow to heaven and earth!" The matchmaker's voice rang out in the hall, interrupting his thoughts. A strange light flashed in his eyes. King Donglin strode into the hall, deliberately leaning towards the direction where An Mi was.

In the hall, everyone was watching the bride and groom pay their respects to heaven and earth. An Mi stood in an inconspicuous place, but she was able to take in the whole situation in the hall. She glanced at Liu Zhan's smug expression and Madam Liu's elegant and dignified smile. A strange look flashed in An Mi's eyes. The show is about to begin!

Scenes from her past life flashed through her mind, and the smile in Anmi's eyes took on a darker hue.

Will these two still be as happy as they are now?

With a slight twitch of her lips, An Mi became even more excited about what was about to happen. Liu Zhan, Madam Liu... you must enjoy my grand gift, An Mi!

Meanwhile, Liu Zhan, facing everyone's gaze, took An Xinhe's hand at the other end of Hongling's hand. The two knelt on the ground, preparing to perform the ceremony. They bowed to heaven and earth, and to their parents. Everything went very smoothly. After the couple bowed to each other, the ceremony was complete, and An Xinhe became Liu Zhan's wife as she wished. The Liu family also rightfully acquired An Xinhe's embroidery skills.

"Husband and wife exchanging vows..."

Liu Zhan and An Xinhe stood facing each other, but before they could bow, someone shouted, "They can't bow! They absolutely can't bow!"

The voice was unusually loud in the hall, and Liu Zhan and An Xinhe, who were about to bow down, stopped in their tracks.

The sudden sound instantly silenced the previously lively atmosphere in the hall, creating an eerie stillness. Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound with varying expressions...

The groom, Liu Zhan, frowned, his face darkening with displeasure. Who dared to stop him from bowing to heaven and earth? They were truly courting death! At this moment, he was filled with rage. It wasn't just Liu Zhan whose expression changed; not only An Xinhe, who was covered by her bridal veil, but even Liu Xuan and his wife, who were sitting in the main seat, froze on their smiles and looked towards the direction from which the voice came.

"Who is that? Why did they suddenly stop the wedding ceremony?"

"Why can't we worship? Is there some hidden reason?"

"Heh, this is going to be quite a show. The richest man's son is getting married, how can it not be exciting?"

Some guests whispered this among themselves.

The person who spoke earlier... was a woman, dressed very casually, but many people still recognized her.

An Mi glanced at the woman, the corners of her mouth subtly turning up under her veil. She inadvertently met Bai Yi's eyes, and even the dignified King of Bohai had an expression of watching a good show.

"Jin Qiaoyu, what are you doing?" Yu Fangfei had come to offer birthday wishes, but she also wanted to watch her daughter's wedding ceremony, so she stood in an inconspicuous corner. However, Jin Qiaoyu's commotion just now forced her to appear in everyone's sight.

Indeed, that person was Jin Qiaoyu. She had gone to great lengths to infiltrate the Liu family mansion in an attempt to turn the tables. She had only one thought in her mind: An Xinhe could not marry Liu Zhan. If she couldn't stop it, then she would truly have no future in the An family.

Facing so many eyes, she felt a little timid, but when she thought of Yu Fangfei's smug face in front of her, she straightened her posture, mustered her courage, and said loudly again, "Young Master Liu cannot marry An Xinhe. The champion of the Embroidery Appreciation Association should not be An Xinhe, but my daughter..."

These words caused an uproar among the surrounding guests, and Liu Xuan and his wife frowned deeply.

"You bitch, what nonsense are you spouting?" Yu Fangfei was furious, no longer caring about being dignified. She immediately started cursing. Jin Qiaoyu, that bitch, really couldn't stand to see them doing well, ruining her daughter's wedding. Good, very good! Since Jin Qiaoyu was so ill-intentioned, then there would be plenty of time in the future. She would definitely make Jin Qiaoyu regret what she had done today.

"I'm not lying. No one has seen what An Xinhe embroidered. Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, aren't you afraid that you'll regret marrying An Xinhe in the future?" Jin Qiaoyu knew that she couldn't produce any substantial evidence, so she could only threaten the Liu family in this way.

But no sooner had she finished speaking than a slap landed on her face. The pain was intense, and she staggered, her mind going completely blank. When she came to her senses, Jin Qiaoyu glared fiercely at the person who had hit her, only to see An Yuefeng's extremely gloomy face.

“Brother Feng…” Jin Qiaoyu’s heart skipped a beat.

"You woman, you've come here to embarrass me! Get back here right now!" An Yuefeng shouted angrily. He had always thought that Qiaoyu knew when to back down, but she had repeatedly embarrassed him in such a public place. What would outsiders think of An Yuefeng?

Does she want everyone to know that An Yuefeng's family is in turmoil?

Now, he actually regrets bringing Jin Qiaoyu back to Rongjin City!

Jin Qiaoyu was determined to fight to the death, so why would she leave? At this moment, her desire to suppress Yu Fangfei's arrogance outweighed her desire to please An Yuefeng. "She's just an arrogant young lady. How could she possibly embroider something that satisfies you all like this? There must be something fishy going on! There must be something fishy going on! Master Liu, Madam Liu, you must find out the truth... Ah..."

Before Jin Qiaoyu could finish speaking, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, her body went limp, and she lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground.

The woman's excited voice stopped abruptly. An Yuefeng looked at Jin Qiaoyu, who he had knocked unconscious on the ground, his anger still lingering. After a moment of contemplation, he forced a smile and said apologetically to Liu Xuan and Madam Liu, who were seated at the head of the table, "I apologize for my poor discipline. Please forgive my shortcomings."

Liu Xuan's brows remained furrowed, and he remained silent.
