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

"We agreed in advance to pay it off all at once. Otherwise, I'll just have to hold his finger and go to the Shen and Jiang families to ask for money in turn."

Shen Hao struggled hard because of fear, but his small body like a chicken was easily restrained by Scar's hands.

"Sister...sister, you can't not save me!"

Dulong was annoyed by his noise, so he pulled out the tip of the knife that was stuck in the table and thrust it straight into the back of Shen Hao's hand.

"Ahhh!"

The man was sweating profusely from the pain, and his screams were full of agony.

Shen Ping couldn't help but take a step forward. Even if Shen Hao was no longer a good-for-nothing, he was still her brother whom she had protected for so many years. Now, seeing him being tortured in front of her, she felt very uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, this group of bandits were so bold and arrogant in front of the prince, treating human lives as worthless. The panic in Shen Ping's heart swept over her again.

The woman turned around and knelt in front of Li Jinyuan, two lines of tears streaming down her cheeks, looking so miserable.

"Your Highness... please save my brother. If you just ask, these bastards will definitely stop!"

"You're such an interesting adulteress! Paying back debts is only natural! Not to mention your brother signed a written agreement with us. If he refuses to pay, we'll definitely have to take some extraordinary measures."

Scar snorted lightly, and his copper-bell-like eyes emitted a terrifying murderous aura.

"Then you can't treat human life as worthless! Prince... Lili! You know, your uncle is not a bad person, he just likes to play..."

Shen Ping staggered forward two steps on her knees. Seeing that the man's expression remained unchanged, she turned her attention to Jiang Li.

The girl half-lowered her eyes, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and looked conflicted. Facing Shen Ping's plea, she deliberately looked embarrassed.

The little drama queen caught Li Jinyuan's attention, and a smile slowly appeared on the man's cold face.

This little fox is quite good at pretending. He was obviously more excited than anyone else when he saw Dulong stabbing the knife into the back of Shen Hao's hand.

"This prince has already said that he will not interfere in this matter, and the princess is the same."

Shen Ping couldn't bear Li Jinyuan's cold gaze, her back bent instantly and she knelt on her legs.

After Scar received a signal from Li Jinyuan from a distance, he pressed Shen Hao's head on the table so that he could better see the process of his fingers being chopped off.

"In that case, it seems that Madam Jiang is not very willing to save your brother. Then we can only see your father's attitude!"

As he spoke, Dulong raised his knife and chopped off Shen Hao's little finger with blood.

"Ahh! Sis!"

Shen Hao's eyes were bloodshot from the pain and his face turned purple. Then a huge pain swept over him and he almost fainted.

Shen Ping was so frightened that she sat there in a daze. She saw with her own eyes Shen Hao's blood spurting out, and even a few drops splashed on the hem of her clothes.

"hiss……"

The sudden gasp of shock was particularly noticeable. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that it came from the girl hiding in the prince's arms.

Jiang Li covered her face with her hands and buried them in Li Jinyuan's arms, and the man's big hand was still patting her shoulders regularly. The little girl seemed to be frightened by this bloody scene.

But only Li Jinyuan knew that this little bad fox was hiding in his chest and laughing...

Jiang Li couldn't hide her happiness, so she hid in the man's arms for fear of being exposed.

She would never be soft-hearted towards Shen Hao. In the original owner's memory, he was a disgusting and obscene lecher. Seeing that she was beautiful, he wanted to harm her countless times.

If Shen Ping hadn't been trying to stop him out of fear of causing trouble, given the original owner's weak character, he would have bullied her long ago...

So he deserves the fate he has now.

"I heard that the fingers are connected to the heart. Having your fingers cut off must be very painful..."

Jiang Li raised her head, resting her fair chin on the man's chest, her big watery eyes looking straight into his.

"Well, the bleeding won't stop, and you'll eventually die from excessive blood loss."

The girl suddenly raised her two little hands to cover her mouth, her eyes wide open, like a frightened little rabbit.

In fact, Li Jinyuan was talking nonsense just to cooperate with the little fox and arouse Shen Ping's sisterly love for Shen Hao.

Looking at the woman kneeling on the ground in a daze, they knew that their goal had been achieved.

When Shen Ping saw Dulong raise his hand and was about to chop off the next finger, she finally couldn't help but raised her voice to stop him.

"Stop! I, I'll find a way to..."

"Oh?"

Dulong was a little surprised. He had only cut one. It seemed that Shen Ping was

This little chick still cares a lot...

"What a joke! Where did you get the money for these 18000 taels of silver? Are you going to ask Old Master Jiang for it? Hahahahaha..."

Dulong's sarcastic laughter made his men behind him laugh as well. They obviously didn't believe that a mere woman like Shen Ping would have so much silver on her.

"You said, I gave you the silver, but you can't bring this matter to the master, otherwise, I will drag you to hell even if I die!"

What Shen Ping cared about most was her identity as the eldest mother of the Jiang family. If Jiang Pingsheng divorced her because of this matter, she would really lose the life of wealth and glory for the rest of her life.

The tactics of self-torture and provocation were used to the fullest extent on Shen Ping, and the effect was so good that Jiang Li couldn't help laughing.

"Of course, we at Longmen Palace are honest and trustworthy!"

"So you'd better not bluff me! Hurry and take out the silver!"

At Dulong's glance, the two younger brothers hurried forward to lift Shen Ping up and urged her to get the silver.

Half a minute later, just when the man was about to lose his patience, Shen Ping walked in holding a box.

"Is there one hundred and eighty thousand taels here?"

The woman opened the box with a pale face and took out all her life savings.

"There are only 50,000 taels of silver notes and 4,000 taels of silver."

"Are you trying to scare me?!"

Dulong raised his hand and was about to slap Shen Ping in the face. Seeing this, Jiang Leyao hurriedly stood in front of the woman.

"Don't push your luck! We don't owe you any money!"

"Hey, you little bitch!" After Dulong finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Leyao's face carefully and then smiled evilly.

"You're quite pretty, little girl. If all else fails, I can use you as collateral. It's been a while since we've had a new woman in Longmen Palace..."

Hearing Dulong's disgusting proposal, Shen Ping quickly protected Jiang Leyao behind her.

"Assholes! If you dare to touch Yao'er, the master will not let you go!"

Hearing this, Dulong and Scar smiled at each other, obviously not caring about the woman's threat.

What a joke! Their Longmen Palace has been established under the emperor's nose for so many years, it must be unshakable. What can a mere court minister do to me?
