Ming Lingyi looked even more surprised than Qin Lingzhi. "Can Miss Qin not even come up with ten gold taels? Is... is that a lot of money?"
Qin Lingzhi: "You!"
Just then, someone in the crowd let out a snicker.
It was impossible to tell if the laugh was aimed at Ming Lingyi's clueless audacity or at Qin Lingzhi.
Evidently, however, upon hearing the snicker, Qin Lingzhi was convinced the person hiding in the crowd was mocking her.
The rumors about her had been running rampant lately. Even when her father had confined her to the house, she had still caught wind of them.
How could Qin Lingzhi possibly stand for it?
She completely forgot about Ming Lingyi, her "number one enemy," standing right in front of her. She whipped around, her gaze sweeping toward the direction of the snicker.
The next second, before even the closest person, Hu Yuwan, could stop her, Qin Lingzhi cracked her whip right into the crowd.
"Get out here!"
