Fu Peipei was shocked and stood up immediately, her face full of disbelief.
"Three thousand? Silver stones!?"
He Lian shrank back, but the erratic and guilty look in his eyes said everything.
"But Ye Yaoting clearly said it was a thousand silver stones before? Why did it become three thousand now?"
Fu Peipei's voice became shrill.
"Mom! Keep your voice down! What if someone hears you!?"
He Lian said hurriedly.
It was already embarrassing enough for him to lose that match.
If word spread that he was ripped off by Ye Xiyue, how would he still be able to hang out in the imperial capital in the future?
Fu Peipei also realized that it was not easy to publicize this matter. She took several deep breaths and finally controlled her emotions.
"Tell me! What on earth is going on!"
He Lian had no choice but to tell everything about what happened today.
"...At that time, Ye Xiyue said that if I didn't give it to her, she would keep beating her. My son, my son really had no choice..."
Seeing Fu Peipei's face getting darker and darker, He Lian's voice became softer and softer.
"Mom, you are the only one who can help me now!"
In fact, He Lian originally didn't want to tell Fu Peipei about this matter. After all, it was too embarrassing, and based on his understanding of his mother, this matter would definitely make her angry to death.
But he really couldn't think of any other way.
He borrowed a thousand silver stones here and there, and maybe he could still manage to come up with it.
But three thousand silver stones...he really doesn't have them!
Therefore, even if he knew that he would be scolded by Fu Peipei, he could only choose to do this.
The room fell into a deathly silence.
He didn't even dare to take a breath.
For a long time, Fu Peipei was so angry that she laughed.
"What a Ye Xiyue! She's not very young, but her ambitions are quite high!"
Three thousand silver stones...she really wanted to get it out!
Now, she was even more sure that this incident was a trap deliberately designed by Ye Xiyue from beginning to end.
"I heard that she had a bad life at Ye's house a few years ago. I didn't expect... to be such a cruel person! I really underestimated her!"
He Lian echoed:
"Mom, I also think that Ye Xiyue is completely different from the rumors! She deliberately harmed her son. You must help me!"
Fu Peipei frowned.
"She can't even think about those three thousand silver stones! My He family will never pay for this money!"
He Lian suddenly became anxious.
"Mom! You have to give me this money! If she makes a big fuss about this, what will she do to her father?"
He Tian, the head of the He family, has always been unsmiling, extremely stern in character, and values face very much.
If he found out, He Lian would have to be reprimanded.
Hearing what He Lian said, Fu Peipei also hesitated.
Everything else is fine, but if this matter breaks out, it will definitely affect He Lian's impression on He Tian.
The He family has more than one son, He Lian.
By the time--
"So, these three thousand silver stones must be taken. Moreover, they cannot be taken from the He family's account."
She tightened the handkerchief and said bitterly.
If she wanted to completely cover up this matter, she would have to pay for it.
But—that’s three thousand silver stones!
This time, almost half of her dowry was lost!
"Okay! Since she wants the money, I'll give it to her!"
