The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

At this time of night in Prince Xiao's mansion, Prince Xiao Xuanxiao and his beautiful concubine were affectionate with each other.

The flickering candlelight in the palace illuminated the room with a warm and ambiguous atmosphere. Prince Xiao Xuanxiao, dressed in gorgeous attire, lazily leaned on the couch, while his beautiful concubine nestled tenderly in his arms, her face flushed.

Xuan Xiao gently stroked the beautiful concubine's hair, with a gentle smile on his lips, "My beloved, your beauty is so beautiful that it really makes my heart flutter."

The beautiful concubine raised her eyes, her eyes full of affection, "My Lord, I am willing to stay by your side for the rest of my life."

Xuan Xiao smelled the fragrance of his beautiful concubine, his heart filled with intoxication, "With you by my side, this night has become particularly charming."

The beautiful concubine Chen Fei smiled coquettishly, "My Lord, please don't make fun of me anymore."

Chen Fei, trying to please Prince Xiao, said, "Your Highness stays here with me every day. Will the princess be angry?"

Prince Xiao Xuanxiao held Chen Fei's hand and said indifferently: "Don't worry about her. My heart is with you. What can she do?"

A trace of worry flashed in Chen Fei's eyes, "But after all, the princess is the principal wife, and I am always uneasy."

Xuan Xiao took the beautiful concubine into his arms and said, "Don't be afraid. I will protect you. No one can touch you."

The beautiful concubine leaned against Xuan Xiao's chest and sighed softly, "Your Highness has been so kind to me, I will always remember it in my heart, but I don't want to cause any trouble for you."

Xuan Xiao gently stroked her back and said, "Just stay by my side and don't worry about anything else.

On the other side, in the courtyard of Princess Nalan Qin of Prince Xiao, Nalan Qin changed into night clothes and quietly left Prince Xiao's Mansion and came to Chen's Mansion.

Chen Mei, the second young lady of the Chen family, was putting on makeup in front of the mirror and admiring her beautiful face, and she didn't notice someone appeared in her boudoir.

Nalan Qin sneered, haha, even if you look through the mirror, you will still look ugly.

Upon hearing these sarcastic words, Chen Mei turned around abruptly, her expression instantly becoming ugly, "Who are you? How dare you break into my boudoir and humiliate me like this!

Upon hearing these sarcastic words, Chen Mei turned around abruptly, her expression instantly turning ugly. "Who are you? How dare you break into my boudoir and humiliate me like this!"

Nalan Qin raised a sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth, "Hmph," he stepped forward and pinched Chen Mei's chin hard, saying harshly: "Miss Chen Er doesn't need to know who this hall master is. With your appearance, you are not worthy of coveting my master's man, and you also want to seduce the regent.

Chen Mei felt pain, tears welling up in her eyes, but she still said stubbornly, "Let me go! You crazy woman, how dare you do this to me!"

Nalan Qin increased the strength of his hands. "You seduced a married man and are still so unrepentant. Today I will teach you a lesson for not knowing your place!"

Chen Mei's face turned pale with pain. "You...you dare! My sister is the favorite concubine of King Xiao. If you hurt me, they will not let you go!"

Nalan Qin sneered, "Just them? In my eyes, they are nothing but worthless people! You'd better give up those inappropriate thoughts, otherwise it won't be so easy next time."

After saying that, Nalan Qin suddenly let go of his hand, and Chen Mei staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"You remember this!" Nalan Qin said this, turned around and disappeared into the night.

Chen Mei collapsed on the ground, feeling angry and scared, and secretly vowed to teach Nalan Qin a lesson.

After Nalan Qin disappeared, another man in black appeared in Chen Mei's room. His voice was steady and heavy: "Miss Chen Er, the three days are up. Is the money ready?"

Chen Mei had just recovered from the shock brought by Nalan Qin, but she was frightened again by the sudden appearance of the man in black. "You... why did you come so suddenly? Without giving me any time to prepare."

The man in black snorted coldly, "Miss Chen Er, don't try to play any tricks on me. The deadline we agreed on has expired. I just want to see the money."

Chen Mei bit her lip and said, "Can you give me a few more days? I've been so busy at home lately that I really can't come up with so much money all at once."

The man in black took a step forward, his voice growing colder. "Miss Chen Er, you should know the rules of our Shadow Killing Tower. You begged us to do something for you back then, and it's not that easy to go back on your word now."

Chen Mei looked embarrassed. "I know, but I really need time."

The man in black snorted coldly, "I'll give you two days. We at Shadow Killing Tower have lost countless men because of this order of yours. Do you know who Regent Princess Xing Xuanli is? To dare to assassinate her, I think Miss Chen Er thinks her life is too long."

Chen Mei's eyes widened in horror, and she said in a trembling voice, "I... I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I was just momentarily possessed by a ghost."

The man in black stared at her coldly. "Are you momentarily possessed by a demon? Who gave you the courage to think you could catch the Regent's eye?

Chen Mei stared at the men in black in front of her with her eyes wide open. Each of them was humiliating her appearance.

There was a flame of anger burning in her eyes, her teeth were clenched, and she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "You bunch of shameless people!" The voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, with endless resentment.

The man in black remained unmoved, still mocking him coldly: "With your appearance, you still want to cling to the powerful and wealthy. It's simply a foolish dream!"

When Chen Mei heard this, her body trembled, and her eyes were full of fear and unwillingness.

The man in black continued, "Who is the Prince Regent? He's the King of Hell. He's incredibly powerful and ruthless. How could a foolish woman like you covet him? Do you think you're worthy enough to covet him with your looks? And you're even dreaming of being compared to the Princess Regent? That's sheer wishful thinking!"

Chen Mei bit her lip and tried to retort: ​​"I... I..." But when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to say them.

The man in black snorted coldly: "Stop dreaming about that unrealistic dream and quickly find a way to solve the trouble you have caused. Otherwise, not only you, but the entire Chen family will suffer!"

Chen Mei's face was pale and she fell to the ground weakly. Her mind was in a mess and she was completely at a loss.

The man in black said sternly: "I'll give you two more days to raise the money, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to Yingshalou!" After that, he pushed Chen Mei away fiercely and disappeared in the room in an instant.

Chen Mei was thrown to the ground. She looked in the direction where the man in black had disappeared, her eyes filled with despair and fear. She knew that the Shadow Killing House's methods were extremely cruel. If she couldn't raise the money on time, she and the entire Chen family would face catastrophic disaster.

Chen Mei slowly climbed to her feet, tears streaming uncontrollably. She regretted her greed and impulsiveness, which had now landed her in such a desperate situation. She racked her brains for ways to raise money, but for a moment, she had no idea.

The room was eerily silent, with only the faint sound of Chen Mei's sobs. She felt as if she were trapped in a dark abyss, unable to find a glimmer of hope. With two days to spare, she didn't know what to do, only struggling in fear and helplessness.
