The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

Shen Ping's last sentence sounded quite resentful. After all, Jiang Pingsheng didn't know that she was secretly supporting her parents' family. If he knew that she not only sent money to her parents' family, but also used his name to attract business for Shen Hao outside, he would definitely turn against her.

Shen Hao shrank his neck after being scolded by her, his eyes were wandering, and he didn't dare to look her in the eye.

It was obvious that he hadn't finished speaking.

If this was really the case, why would he go to all the trouble to come to the Jiang residence and cry and kneel?

Shen Ping knew him too well, and seeing him hesitating, she felt a little uneasy.

"Sister... I, I deserve to die! You must save me! If I can't come up with the money today, the people from Longmen Palace will chop off my ten fingers and go to the Shen Mansion to ask for money! If they don't get the money, they will come to the Jiang Mansion..."

"You know, my parents don't have any money... I'm their only son. If I die, who will take care of them in their old age?"

"Sis! Please save me... I promise! This is the last time, sis!"

Seeing Shen Ping's face getting paler, Shen Hao began to panic. Although Shen Ping was seriously influenced by feudal ideas and supporting her brother was ingrained in her, she was ultimately a selfish and indifferent person.

Shen Hao was afraid that if this continued, Shen Ping would really give up on him...

"Didn't you say you don't want to gamble anymore?"

There was a rare vicissitude in the woman's voice, and her eyelashes were half-drooped. She really hated having such a brother.

"I only went there that once... woohoo, they rigged things, that's why I lost so much!"

"Sister, please save me! You don't want them to cause trouble in front of my brother-in-law, do you?"

When Jiang Pingsheng was mentioned, Shen Ping became even angrier. Unable to control herself any longer, she slapped the man hard in the face.

Is he threatening her?

He still had the nerve to threaten her?! If it weren't for her marrying into the Jiang family, when would the Shen family have been able to live a life of ordering servants around!? When would they have been able to change their social class!?

Shen Ping's chest was heaving with anger, and Jiang Leyao looked at the man kneeling on the ground with resentment, wishing she could get rid of this burden with her own hands.

She didn't understand why her mother had to pave the way for her disappointing brother, nor did she understand why the Shen family placed their invisible hopes on this giant baby.

Unlike their heart-wrenching laughter, Jiang Li was still crunching the nuts.

The girl blinked her almond-shaped eyes continuously, afraid of missing any good show.

Li Jinyuan couldn't help but chuckle and pinched her face. He was a little fox who enjoyed watching the fun and didn't mind getting involved...

The little girl's skin was as smooth as the finest mutton-fat jade, and he couldn't let go of it when his rough fingertips rubbed it.

"Don't make trouble, this is a critical moment."

Jiang Li moved his hand away coquettishly, delaying her from watching the show...

"Sister, you can't ignore me... I'm your only brother!"

Shen Ping closed her eyes tightly, her red lips trembling with anger.

"How much silver?"

"Ten, one hundred thousand taels of silver..."

"How much!?" Jiang Leyao approached with eyes wide open, her face blank after a look of surprise.

Shen Ping didn't expect the number to be so huge. She felt weak and almost fell to the ground.

"Oh, then you really deserve to die. Let them chop off your head. I don't have that much silver."

"No! Sister... Sister, please beg your brother-in-law. He must have the money to save me!"

When Jiang Pingsheng was mentioned, Shen Ping kicked the man who was clinging to her legs away.

He actually dared to bring it up! If she hadn't been afraid of the matter being brought to his attention, she would have already ignored his life or death!

Jiang Pingsheng hated gamblers the most, followed by deserters. If he knew Shen Hao was involved in gambling and had lost so much money, he would definitely hand him over to Longmen Palace. He was also most afraid of the consequences for himself...

"Shut up!"

"If the master knew about this, I would be the first to kill you!"

The woman threatened fiercely, but she obviously forgot that there were two other people in the room.

Shen Ping followed Shen Hao's gaze, her body stiffened for a moment, and her brain felt like it was struck by lightning.

If only Jiang Li was present, it would be easy to deal with, but the Third Prince was also there...

"Your Majesty..."

Now the person who was stammering and unable to speak became Shen Ping. The woman's face turned pale. She didn't expect that such a thing would be discovered by someone.

It's all Shen Hao's fault! Why did he leave Jiang Li behind? Could it be... he was afraid that I wouldn't help him, so he kept her back?

Oh, what a good plan, she, as an elder sister, is so devoted to him, but he doesn't care about her life or death at all!

"I don't want to get involved in your family affairs."

What he meant was that he would not care about this matter and would just pretend not to see it even if he saw it.

Shen Ping breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Jiang Pingsheng didn't know...

"I can't come up with a hundred thousand taels of silver. You have to find a way to make up the remaining shortfall."

"Mother!"

"sister!"

Jiang Leyao was excited because she didn't understand why her mother wanted to save this burden. Even if he was hacked to death by the people from Longmen Palace, what would happen if her father knew about it!

Shen Hao raised his voice because he simply couldn't come up with the money at the moment. Not to mention that his shop was closed, he still owed money to the government... The people at Longmen Palace wouldn't agree to give him more time, and by then, his life would still be in danger!

"Sister, please save me... I don't have any money!"

Shen Hao's eyes immediately fell on the hairpin in the woman's hair. It was as white as flawless jade and had a faint fluorescent glow. It was obvious that it was not a cheap item!

Well, doesn't she still have so many precious jewels?! Even if she doesn't, doesn't Jiang Li have them?... She's been bullying that little bitch for so many years, so it shouldn't be a big deal to get some jewelry from her!?

"I don't have any money either! Don't you know how much money you've taken from me over the past year?!"

Shen Hao's eyes suddenly darkened and he couldn't help cursing in his heart.

What's wrong with him using some of her money?! Sooner or later, everything in the Shen family will be his! Besides, what would a woman like her need so much money for...

"Sister... don't you still have a lot of jewelry? Help me pay off my debt. I'll redeem it and pay you back when I have money!"

Shen Ping's eyes widened in disbelief. How dare he even plot against her?! He even offered her empty promises. Did he think she was so easy to fool?

"If I really can't get the money together, I'll have no choice but to ask my brother-in-law to borrow some... I'm sure he'll lend it to me."

Bringing up Jiang Pingsheng at this moment was like holding Shen Ping's lifeblood in her hand, just as she had once used the same method to shackle Jiang Li...

Things change over time. Shen Ping never dreamed that this day would come.

Before she could let go, there was another noise outside the courtyard gate.
