The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Chapter 312 Teaching her a lesson and proposing marriage on the spot (3)

Hehe, Anmi, this illegitimate daughter from Rongjin City, she really does have some tricks up her sleeve.

"Anmi, quickly tell them that what you said is all false, all made up." Yu Ling'er was determined to clear her name. She knew that no matter what she said at this moment, these people would not believe her. Only if Anmi told them that what she said earlier was not true and was all a frame-up could the matter be calmed down.

But since An Mi had already done so, why would she change her mind and help Yu Ling'er clear her name of the stain?

She's not some kind-hearted person; there's no way you'll get her to do what she says!

"I'm sorry, Anmi is powerless to help, because I have always been telling the truth. Ling'er, didn't you always tell me to be honest? Why are you forcing me to lie now that I'm being honest?" Anmi frowned, her attitude unusually sincere. In other people's eyes, she seemed to be the weak little woman being suppressed by Yu Ling'er.

"You..." Yu Ling'er gritted her teeth, glaring fiercely at An Mi. This woman was still spouting nonsense. What did she mean by insisting that she tell the truth? Although they had met before, they hadn't even had a chance to speak. How could she be so good at twisting facts and making up stories? At this moment, she forgot that if her earlier plan had actually succeeded, she would have ruthlessly trampled An Mi underfoot and wantonly humiliated her.

The murmurs of disdain grew louder around her, and Yu Ling'er's once beautiful face turned a deep purplish-red. She clenched her fists, placing all the blame on An Mi. It was all An Mi's fault, and now things were getting worse. How could she swallow this insult? How could she let An Mi go?

Thinking this to herself, Yu Ling'er was so provoked that she lost her mind and only wanted to teach this woman named An Mi a lesson. She forgot what kind of occasion she was in. Suddenly, she raised her hand and used all her strength to hit An Mi hard...

Everyone watched this scene with varying expressions. The commotion also alerted Empress Feng and Consort Rong, who were exchanging pleasantries with the ladies over there. They noticed the commotion and, seeing Yu Ling'er raise her hand towards An Mi, the two of them did not make any further moves. They even smiled slightly.

At this moment, Empress Feng smiled coldly to herself. She had wanted to teach An Mi a lesson for a long time, and now that Yu Ling'er could do it for her, it was perfect. Thinking of her own plans, if Yu Ling'er became Feng Yu's wife, then they would be family. Yu Ling'er's slap could be considered as her doing the slap.

Consort Rong lowered her gaze. She wanted to take An Mi under her wing, but An Mi was ungrateful. She had no choice but to force her to follow her. Now that An Mi had been taught a lesson by Yu Ling'er, she would probably know even more that in this harem, a mere embroiderer like her would have a hard time without a powerful backer.

This slap was entirely beneficial to me.

The two were each making their own calculations, watching as Yu Ling'er's hand lashed out at An Mi. An Mi frowned. Although Yu Ling'er's movements were swift, An Mi was no pushover. Hit her? No one could do that unless she wanted to!

An Mi's eyes narrowed, her sharp gaze flashing with murderous intent. Yu Ling'er had never seen An Mi like this before. Her resentful heart trembled slightly, and that single moment was enough for An Mi to find an opportunity to do many things.

An Mi dodged, and Yu Ling'er's slap just grazed her hair, leaving her cheek unharmed. An Mi knew that in front of so many people, she couldn't possibly raise her hand to slap Yu Ling'er like she did. Everyone here was powerful enough to suppress her. If she wanted revenge and to teach Yu Ling'er a lesson, she had to find another way.

Meanwhile, Liu Guang and Yi Fei stood aside, suppressing their urge to rush forward and protect An Mi. They had been forbidden by An Mi to act rashly in the palace without her permission. They also understood that if they were exposed, not only would they be blamed, but An Mi would also be implicated.

The two women looked at An Mi anxiously, just like ordinary maids.

An Mi frowned, her gaze catching sight of a figure. An idea immediately formed in her mind. She couldn't teach Yu Ling'er a lesson herself, but she could use someone else to teach her a lesson, couldn't she?

Her eyes flickered, and the next moment, everyone saw An Mi's face filled with terror. "Ling'er, what did I do wrong? You...you're going to kill me?"

Seeing An Mi's delicate and pitiful appearance, Yu Ling'er felt even angrier. This An Mi was the one who had made herself into this state, yet she was the one who accused her first.

Kill her? Thinking of the painting in her brother-in-law's room, Yu Ling'er's jealousy burned even more fiercely. Even if she killed her, it wouldn't be enough to quell the hatred in her heart.

"What if I kill you?" Yu Ling'er completely lost her mind. She was unwilling to accept that she had missed with that slap. Today, she was determined to teach An Mi, who had stolen her brother-in-law's attention, a good lesson.

Without a second thought, Yu Ling'er rushed towards An Mi, her eyes fixed on An Mi and her mind solely focused on teaching her a lesson. An Mi, of course, couldn't just stand there foolishly waiting for Yu Ling'er to punish her. She had already devised a plan. At this moment, all she had to do was lure Yu Ling'er into the trap.

"Spare me... Ling'er... Don't kill me..." An Mi cried out in terror, darting around like a frightened rabbit. Naturally, the Imperial Garden was filled with people today, and some of them were prominent figures.

An Mi's escape route was winding and circuitous, using the bodies of those "respectable" ladies and daughters to block Yu Ling'er's frantic pursuit. One can imagine what the consequences would be.

"Ah..." Some daughters of officials were knocked down by Yu Ling'er.

"Oh dear..." Yu Ling'er bumped into quite a few first-rank ladies.

"Quickly, quickly protect me..." Seeing Yu Ling'er rushing towards them angrily, the concubines who had been sitting and watching the show became nervous. In the end, many well-dressed and elegant ladies and young ladies in the Imperial Garden fell flat on their faces, looking extremely disheveled.

An Mi continued to nimbly evade Yu Ling'er's pursuit. Yu Ling'er had no idea what trouble she had caused. At this moment, all she wanted to do was teach An Mi a lesson. Suddenly, a pebble on the ground caught her attention. Yu Ling'er's eyes narrowed, her teeth clenched, and without thinking, she picked up the pebble. Seeing An Mi's direction, she sneered, "You'd better die!"
