Jiaojiao is getting married, and the male leads fall for her and fight over her.

Chapter 109 The Crown Prince Barges into Her Bedchamber

"Since I had nothing better to do, I went to Jingyunlou for a walk." Shen Shuyi didn't hide anything.

Pei Dongzhou smiled sarcastically upon hearing this: "Looks like my cousin really has a lot of free time."

They're so bored they've fallen into a lake while looking for a partner, yet they still keep looking. How desperate are they to get married?

Shen Shuyi immediately sensed the sarcasm in Pei Dongzhou's words.

That's strange. What did her going to the matchmaker have to do with Prince Pei? Why did he have to speak so veiledly?
She ignored the sarcastic Prince Pei and said to Pei Xizhou, "Thank you for your hard work today, Third Cousin. Take care, Third Cousin."

Fearing that Pei Shizi would make things difficult for Shen Shuyi, Pei Xizhou said to Pei Shizi, "Let me go with my elder brother."

Pei Dongzhou disliked Pei Xizhou's tone, which clearly indicated he was worried that Pei Xizhou would harm his cousin Shen. The third brother had only taken his cousin Shen to a matchmaking event once; had their relationship already gotten this good?

"I have something to say to Cousin Shen, you go ahead." Pei Dongzhou said, and entered the Fusang Courtyard.

Pei Xizhou looked at Pei Shizi as if he were entering his own courtyard and felt that something was wrong.

He looked at Shen Shuyi, who also looked bewildered: "Cousin, you should go back first. I'll go see if Cousin has anything to say."

Perhaps Prince Pei has also found her a potential partner and is going to take her to meet them? If she goes on two dates a day, she should be fine.

Pei Xizhou thought that Pei Shizi was a good person and probably wouldn't do anything to his cousin, so he left with peace of mind.

Shen Shuyi then warmly entertained Prince Pei, personally brewing tea for him, and then looked at him expectantly.

"What kind of look is that, cousin?" Pei Dongzhou felt uncomfortable under Shen Shuyi's direct gaze.

"Is my cousin, the young master, going to talk to me about something serious?" Shen Shuyi deliberately reminded him, stopping short of revealing the truth.

Quickly tell her you'll help her find a boyfriend!

"How was the man my cousin met today?" Pei Dongzhou asked gently.

"I think he's a very honest person, but because I'm good-looking, Xiao Lang keeps staring at me. My third cousin said that people like that aren't good. If my third cousin says it's not good, then let's continue looking for someone." Shen Shuyi looked intently at Pei Shizi. "Is my cousin Shizi going to help me find someone to look for?"

Pei Dongzhou finally understood why his cousin Shen was looking at him like that; it turned out that this woman wanted him to help her find a partner.

Judging from her attitude, she intends to keep looking for a suitable partner until she gets married, which is quite a clever plan.

She said she was going to find someone to marry, and she kept her word.

“Great, I’d be happy to marry my cousin off.” Pei Dongzhou smiled gently.

Shen Shuyi, however, felt that Pei Shizi’s smile was more eerie than his lack of a smile. If he was unwilling to take her to see a potential partner, he could simply refuse. Why did he have to smile so strangely?
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Cousin Young Master. Oh, if you're really too busy, I can have my Third Cousin take me to see some potential partners." Shen Shuyi managed to force a smile. "Or should I see you out, Cousin Young Master?"

Pei Dongzhou stood up, his voice unusually gentle: "My cousin is in a hurry to get married, and I can take a few days off to take her to see potential partners every day, would that be alright?"

Shen Shuyi was startled upon hearing this: "No need, no need. My consultation is a small matter; it cannot interfere with your official duties, Cousin. Please take care, Cousin!"

Pei Dongzhou patted her head and said, "My cousin and I are so close, how could this be a small matter? I was even thinking of seeing her off on her wedding day."

Shen Shuyi: ...

Could he please stop touching her head while laughing in such a frightening way?
After Pei Dongzhou left, she sat on the stone bench, catching her breath. "A-Jian, don't you think Cousin Yu's smile is terrifying? It's like I owe him a huge debt. Anyone who marries Cousin Yu will be worried about being strangled to death by him every night..." A-Jian kept winking at her, and she blinked, quickly trying to cover it up: "But Cousin Yu's smile is really handsome, like an immortal. I was just joking, haha..."

A-Jian watched as her mistress smoothed things over, and she felt a pang of worry for her master.

She asked the returning Prince Pei, "Is there anything else, Your Highness?"

If Pei Dongzhou hadn't come back, would he have known that his cousin Shen viewed him this way? Is this what she meant by liking him?
"I turned back to tell my cousin that I'll take her to meet someone tomorrow."

After saying that, Pei Dongzhou walked away without looking back.

Shen Shuyi ran outside the courtyard and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Prince Pei was far away.

She felt that Prince Pei was not such an enthusiastic person. He even said he would take her to meet someone tomorrow. Could it be that Prince Pei found someone at the last minute?
Although she had doubts, Shen Shuyi felt there was no need to overthink it.

After all, she doesn't really want to get married, so she can accept whatever kind of person her blind date is.

The next day, while she was still asleep, A-Jian suddenly shook her awake: "Wake up, young lady, the young master is here!"

Shen Shuyi hadn't had enough sleep yet, and pushed A-Jian away, saying, "Even the King of Heaven can't disturb my sleep."

Hearing the commotion behind her, A-Jian saw the young master standing at the door of the bedroom, clearly having heard what the young lady said.

Wait a minute, this is the young lady's bedroom. The young master is a man who values ​​rules and regulations. Why is he standing in front of the young lady's bedroom without any regard for propriety?
The next moment, she was even more stunned, because the young master walked into the bedroom...

A-Jian didn't dare to chase them away, so she could only shake her young lady: "Wake up, young lady, the young master has really come."

And they were already at the bedside.

The girl, however, slept like a log and couldn't be woken up. It wasn't really her fault; she was busy arranging marriages during the day and checking accounts at night, so she slept too late and couldn't get out of bed in the morning.

The young master waved his hand at her, as if to tell her to leave.

She was still hesitating when the young master gave her a cold look, and she immediately and cowardly walked out of the bedroom.

Surely the young master wouldn't do anything to the girl?

Speaking of which, haven't the young master and the young lady been getting a little too familiar lately?
Is a young lady's bedroom a place where a young master can enter? If others find out, wouldn't the young lady's reputation be ruined?

While A-Jian was still struggling with her inner conflict, Pei Dongzhou was already sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at his sleeping cousin.

She was sleeping soundly, her complexion was rosy, she clearly slept well last night. Unlike him, he didn't sleep much last night and woke up very early this morning.

Shen Shuyi was soundly asleep when she suddenly felt someone pinching her face. Thinking it was A-Jian, she grabbed the person's hand and exclaimed, "You brat A-Jian, how dare you disturb my sweet dream?!"

She hadn't even opened her eyes yet, but she felt something was off about the touch in her palm.

She touched the arm beneath her palm, then suddenly opened her eyes, meeting Pei Shizi's gentle and refined face.

"How could it be you?!" Shen Shuyi was about to sit up when she remembered that she was dressed lightly, wearing only her undergarments.

That damned Prince Pei, how did he barge into her bedroom?
