Almost spurted blood
"Do you know this matter, I dare not let your father know, if your father finds out, he will definitely punish you, and the imperial concubine..."

She also couldn't escape a reprimand.

"Mother, help me." Let alone the imperial concubine, even her father is enough to make her scalp tingle.

While her father has high hopes for her, he is also extremely strict with her. If he knew that she had lost so much face in front of so many people at the banquet last night, and was even reprimanded by the emperor, his father would definitely not let her off easily of.

"How much short of 4000 taels?" Mrs. Tang asked.

"One thousand five hundred taels." Tang Xueyi replied.

"Here……"

"Mother, sister." Before Mrs. Tang finished speaking, Tang Xueyue, the second miss of the Tang family, walked in bouncingly.

"Yue'er." Madam Tang gently touched Tang Xueyue's head.

Tang Xueyi's eyes darkened slightly, but she still smiled, "Yue'er, my mother and I are talking about business, if you want to play with me, how about later? Go outside and wait."

"I heard it just now. My sister made a mistake and she has to pay 4000 taels. Now it's still 500 taels. Can I help my sister?"

Tang Xueyi's eyes turned cold, but Tang Xueyue's expression remained innocent, "Although Yue'er doesn't have much money, she still has a lot of jewelry, which can be given to my sister. If my sister pawns it at a pawn shop, she will have money."

"I……"

"She has jewelry herself, so there's no need for you." Mrs. Tang frowned and stopped, "Your sister's idea is good, you have a lot of jewelry, you just pick a few and go to the pawn shop to pawn them, and you can get them for 500 taels gone."

"Mom!" Tang Xueyi stared, "I'm a daughter of a prime minister, how can I go to a place like a pawn shop, if word spreads, people won't laugh at our prime minister..."

"Sister, I just want to help you. I didn't know that going to the pawn shop would make people laugh. I'm sorry, don't blame me, okay?" Tang Xueyue nervously grabbed her hand and said aggrievedly.

"Yue'er is not sad." Mrs. Tang glared at Tang Xueyi, "How can you say such nonsense to your sister as an older sister. She also wants to help you, and you still blame her, so hurry up and apologize!"

Seeing Tang Xueyue's appearance as if she had been greatly wronged, Tang Xueyi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I'm sorry." She gritted her teeth.

She is indeed favored in the Tang family, but the premise of all this is that she wins face for the Tang family.

If it made the Tang family lose face, then she also felt that it would not be easy. She was not the only daughter in the Tang family, and the most favored person was not her, but her younger sister.

Just like now, if there is a conflict between her and Tang Xueyue, as long as Tang Xueyue shows an aggrieved expression, she will be reprimanded.

"It's okay sister, I know my sister didn't say that on purpose." Tang Xueyue took Tang Xueyi's arm and said happily.

Tang Xueyi smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

"Find your own way about the silver issue. Anyway, you are too complacent to make a fuss about this matter. Take it as a lesson. In the future, think twice before acting, and don't be as reckless as yesterday." At this time, Mrs. Tang completely forgot. Yes, she was the one who troubled Wen Dongnuan at the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet. Later, when Tang Xueyi proposed a competition, she also supported her wholeheartedly, but Tang Xueyi was the only one who could be wrong.

She gently touched Tang Xueyue's head, "Yue'er, let's go, don't you want to eat the crystal cake made by mother? Mother will make it for you."
