When the people present saw her like this, they immediately felt sympathy.
In addition to the bet between the two just now, everyone saw it, as long as they were guests attending the auction, they all knew it.
Immediately, people with a strong sense of justice came forward to testify.
"No way? How can Second Miss Bai say that? What happened just now? Everyone saw it?"
"Yes, it was Miss Bai who personally agreed to the bet. All of us can testify! There are thousands of witnesses!"
"That's right, Second Miss Bai doesn't think she's at a disadvantage, so she wants to default on her debt, right? Speaking of which, 130,000 taels for a bottle of spiritual elixir is really a terrifying price..."
"Ha, what does she have to lose? She was the one who wronged her cousin first, so the two of them made a bet. Isn't it reasonable for her to pay this amount?"
"Yeah, I really didn't expect that the dignified young lady from the Wuwei Hou Mansion would default on her debts? I used to think that she was beautiful and powerful, like a fairy. Who knew that her character could be so bad??"
Bai Ruoqi's face turned red as she listened to the comments of the people around her. She wished she could find a hole to burrow into!
She has always cherished her reputation, so although she was usually arrogant and domineering in the Hou Mansion, she always pretended to be nice outside, leaving a gentle and elegant impression on others.
Who would have thought that today, Huang Yueli had fooled her at the auction, and now she wanted to default on the bill, but she shouted out loudly, making it known to everyone!
If such words spread, she will become the laughing stock of the entire capital!
Bai Ruoqi almost bit the roots of her teeth. She took several deep breaths before she managed to calm down a little.
She walked to Huang Yueli, frowned slightly, and said, "Third sister, you...how can you say that to me? You have misunderstood my sister, I have no intention of defaulting on my debt!"
Her voice was a little trembling. She clearly wanted to tear the girl in front of her to pieces, but for the sake of public opinion, she had to pretend to be a generous sister. It was really painful!
Huang Yueli glanced at her, "Second sister, but that's not what you said just now? You said... you don't remember the bet you made with me?"
Bai Ruoqi's cheek twitched.
"Oh, Third Sister, you are so impatient! I misheard just now and thought you were talking about something else! So you were talking about the auction? How could I forget this? You told me earlier Tell me clearly, can I still default on my debt?"
"It turns out it was a misunderstanding..."
Bai Ruoqi nodded, "Yes, it's just a misunderstanding! Third sister, please come down quickly. It's a bit indecent for a girl like you to lift up your skirt and climb to such a high place..."
Bai Ruoqi said "misunderstanding" about the bet, and then changed the subject, implying that Huang Yueli was deliberately looking for trouble, and even talked about her demeanor, obviously trying to divert attention to her.
Huang Yueli raised her lips mockingly and jumped down from the flower bed.
"In this case, without further ado, let's go get the elixir first!"
Huang Yueli walked towards the inner courtyard without squinting. A group of spectators refused to disperse and followed behind her.
Bai Ruoqi stopped her in a hurry, "Third sister, don't be in such a hurry! We'll get the elixir later!"
Huang Yueli blinked, "Why?"
Why? Of course it's because she doesn't have 131,100 taels!
But she couldn't say that. If she said she had no money at this time, wouldn't it be the same as defaulting on her debt
If someone listens to her, it will be useless no matter how hard she tries to clear her name!
