Mei Gongxue wound the reins tightly around her hand and raised her voice again. "If you brave men are after money, I have a dozen taels of silver on me. I can give it to you for your emergency—please, just do me a favor and let me pass!"
She swept her gaze across the group and, realizing they had no intention of stopping, quickly added, "And if you are looking for something else, I fear you have miscalculated. I am the eldest daughter of the An Guo Marquis Manor. If you dare touch me, my three brothers will never let you off!"
