The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Before she could finish speaking, the King of Donglin suddenly interrupted her, "You don't need to know."

Having said that, he strode towards the banquet hall...

Yu Ling'er was stunned, watching the Prince of Donglin walk away, his words echoing in her mind: she didn't need to know? How could she not know? Ever since her sister died, she had always stayed by her brother-in-law's side. Her brother-in-law had treated her very well, but just now…

What's going on? First, there was An Mi, and then this woman who appeared out of nowhere... Yu Ling'er bit her lip tightly, her resentment spreading rapidly. No, no, from now on, she must stick even closer to her brother-in-law. Her brother-in-law is hers, and she, Yu Ling'er, will never let any other woman have a chance to get close to him, whether it's that damned An Mi or that woman whose face she didn't see clearly just now.

With these thoughts in mind, Yu Ling'er took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and quickened her pace to catch up with the King of Donglin...

Inside the Liu residence, a lively scene unfolded. In the bridal chamber in the inner courtyard, An Xinhe, after being led to the new room, sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Liu Zhan. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and An Xinhe's heart trembled, pounding wildly. Was it Liu Zhan? He had come in? This was their room, and tonight was their wedding night. Before her eyes was a sea of ​​red, a red so ambiguous. After tonight, she would belong to Liu Zhan!

Thinking of the secrets her mother had taught her about the bedroom last night, she blushed even more, feeling both worried and expectant. A man like Liu Zhan must be extremely gentle!

Just then, the bridal veil on An Xinhe's head was suddenly pulled off. An Xinhe instinctively thought it was Liu Zhan, swallowed hard, and said shyly, "Husband..."

"Ha! You really think I'm Liu Zhan?" It was a woman's voice that came through. An Xinhe frowned, and when she looked up, she saw a familiar figure beside her. Who else could it be but her sister, An Xinlian?

"Sister, it's you? This is Liu Zhan and my new house. What are you doing here?" An Xinhe saw that it wasn't Liu Zhan, so she no longer needed to maintain her deliberately gentle and elegant demeanor and said unhappily.

An Xinlian glanced at An Xinhe, "Xinhe, is that all you've got? My brother-in-law is in the banquet hall right now, greeting everyone. Don't forget, today is not only your wedding day with Liu Zhan, but also the birthday of the Liu family patriarch. Although you are now a daughter-in-law of the Liu family, don't forget whose daughter you are. The Liu family patriarch must be displeased with what happened in the hall just now. Who would have thought that Jin Qiaoyu, that bitch, would come here to cause trouble? Father asked me to send you a message, telling you to be smart and find an opportunity to say a few good words for our An family, and make sure to appease the Liu family patriarch."

Thinking of Jin Qiaoyu, An Xinhe felt a surge of anger. "Don't worry, when I deliver the embroidery I made to my father-in-law, I'll find an opportunity to speak up. I think he'll let it go for the sake of me, his daughter-in-law. But we absolutely cannot let Jin Qiaoyu get away with this."

"Hmph, do you even need to tell me that?" An Xinlian snorted coldly.

“Oh right, An Mi…” An Xinhe seemed to suddenly remember, and a malice spread across her eyes.

An Xinlian met An Xinhe's eyes, a sly smile playing on her lips. "As you wish, right now, I'm probably enjoying my wedding night even before you do!"

"Great! Humph, that An Mi is probably living a life worse than death right now." An Xinhe said excitedly, "By the way, when we go back to our bride's home on the third day after her wedding, we'll definitely give An Mi a good humiliation!"

An Xinlian smiled but remained silent. After a moment, she said to An Xinlian, "Just now I heard Madam Liu instructing someone to summon you to the banquet hall. You must remember your father's instructions."

An Xinhe nodded, and An Xinlian then left the room with peace of mind. Sure enough, not long after An Xinlian left, a maid came in to convey Madam Liu's message. An Xinhe changed her clothes and, guided by the maid, walked towards the banquet hall.

In the banquet hall, almost everyone had gathered. As expected of the Liu family, the richest family in Rongjin City, the banquet hall was large enough to accommodate over a hundred tables. The grand scale of the event surprised the guests, who instinctively tried to ingratiate themselves when congratulating the richest man on his birthday.

Liu Xuan watched the reactions of these people with satisfaction, accepting their congratulations with a sense of pride.

Suddenly noticing a figure at the entrance of the banquet hall, Liu Xuan was taken aback. Today, he had specially invited the King of Bohai and the King of Donglin. Who else could that person at the entrance be but the King of Donglin?

The fact that the King of Donglin came to attend his birthday banquet and Liu Zhan's wedding was a great honor for the Liu family, and he could not afford to be negligent. He nodded to the people beside him and Liu Xuan strode towards the King of Donglin.

"Liu Xuan greets Your Highness, the Prince of Donglin." Liu Xuan stepped forward, followed by Liu Zhan. The two men smiled and bowed respectfully to the Prince of Donglin. "Thank you, Your Highness, for attending my son's wedding. Your presence is an honor to our Liu family."

Upon seeing this, the guests in the banquet hall immediately knelt down to pay their respects. Although Rongjincheng was a territory of the King of Donglin, very few people actually had the opportunity to meet the King of Donglin. For the King of Donglin to come to the Liu family to offer his congratulations, the richest man in Rongjincheng was indeed very influential.

The King of Donglin's attitude was indeed lukewarm: "No need for formalities. Today is a special day for the Liu family. There's no need to be bound by these customs."

"Who is this...?" Liu Xuan noticed the woman who followed the King of Donglin in and secretly guessed.

The King of Donglin did not answer. Yu Ling'er longed for her brother-in-law to introduce her to everyone present, but... she looked up at his resolute and handsome face, which seemed to show no sign of wanting to speak. Although she was unwilling, she still forced a smile and said softly, "My name is Yu Ling'er."

Yu Ling'er? Everyone present was shocked. Her surname was Yu? What was her relationship with the Yu family in the capital?

Her surname is Yu… Several years ago, the King of Donglin married a daughter from the Yu family, and the Queen of Donglin also had the surname Yu! But the Queen died in childbirth long ago, and this Yu Ling'er…

Everyone secretly speculated about Yu Ling'er's identity. Yu Ling'er knew that this place was different from the capital. In the capital, who didn't know her name? But in these small places...

With a furrowed brow, Yu Ling'er made up her mind to make everyone know her name, Yu Ling'er, and to make sure that whenever people mentioned Yu Ling'er, they would associate her with the name of the King of Donglin!

Thinking this to herself, her smile became even more elegant and dignified. She moved a few steps closer to the King of Donglin and gently tugged at the sleeve of the man beside her. "Brother-in-law, let's find a place to sit down! Ling'er has been standing for a long time and is tired."

Upon hearing this, everyone present instantly understood. Brother-in-law? So this Yu Ling'er is the sister-in-law of the Prince of Donglin! That means she's another young lady from the Yu family in the capital!

But look at the way the sister-in-law is tugging at the sleeve of the Prince of Donglin, and how she's acting so sweetly and coquettishly... Hehe... The older sister passed away, and the husband hasn't remarried in a long time, and this sister-in-law... The relationship between the brother-in-law and the sister-in-law... It really makes one's imagination run wild!
