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

Chapter 46 The Crown Prince is Irresponsible: He Won't Even Give His Cousin a Position as a Concubine

Inside the main room, Shen Shuyi watched as Prince Pei and his servant walked away, and then she communicated with the system.

The system told her that she did need to sleep in Pei Dongzhou's bed for one night to complete the task, but Pei Dongzhou didn't necessarily have to sleep with her.

So her next task was to figure out how to stay in this bed for one more night.

This is a technical skill.

Lying in bed, she was lost in thought, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.

When Pei Dongzhou entered the bedroom, he saw Shen Shuyi fast asleep nestled in his bedding.

The girl lay still, breathing shallowly, her pale face regaining some color, clearly having fallen into a deep sleep.

She seemed completely oblivious to the fact that she was sleeping in his bed.

Was it because she trusted him too much, or was it because she intended to seduce him and was therefore so unguarded?
Qingzhu didn't dare to enter the bedroom, but she knew that Miss Shen was still lingering in the young master's bed.

He coughed twice, trying to wake Miss Shen and tell her to go back to her villa, but he failed to wake her. Instead, the young master turned around and looked at him.

He winked and whispered, "Master, you should get Miss Biao to leave as soon as possible."

Are you really going to let Miss Shen Biao sleep here for the night? That's outrageous!

He felt suffocated just imagining someone seeing Miss Shen entering and leaving the East Garden.

Pei Dongzhou also felt that Shen Shuyi's behavior was too much. He went to the bedside and coughed heavily twice.

The person on the bed was fast asleep, only half of her rosy face visible. I hadn't thought she was particularly beautiful before, but looking at her today, I found her features to be unexpectedly beautiful when put together. Her eyebrows and eyes, even in her sleep, appeared vivid and lovely.

When Qingzhu saw that the young master had suddenly stopped coughing, he really wanted to rush in and drive away the young lady, but he didn't have the guts.

He spotted the young master standing by the bed from afar, seemingly engrossed in something.

Just as he was getting anxious, the young master finally spoke: "Cousin, wake up!"

Shen Shuyi was sleeping soundly. She smacked her lips, thinking that it was A-Jian disturbing her, so she simply grabbed the blanket and covered herself completely.

Pei Dongzhou: ...

This person really treated the East Garden as if it were the Fusang Temple, and didn't treat him like an outsider at all.

He stepped forward and pulled back the covers. Shen Shuyi felt a chill run through her body. She opened her sleepy eyes, about to lash out, but the male face that met her eyes made her swallow all her words.

She remembered that she was still doing a mission in the East Garden.

"Cousin, I'm cold..." she said weakly.

Pei Dongzhou said expressionlessly, "It's getting late, cousin, go back and rest."

Shen Shuyi paused for a moment. If she could go back, she would have gone back long ago, but if she went back, she wouldn't be able to complete the mission smoothly.

“Cousin, I’m still feeling very dizzy. Can I stay here tonight? If you’re worried that I might have ulterior motives, you should go to Heshou Hall to rest. That would be safer.” Shen Shuyi said, rubbing her forehead. “I’m really feeling unwell. I can even see double when I look at your face.”

Qingzhu, who was eavesdropping, couldn't help but think to herself, "So the young lady knows I look like I have ulterior motives." But if they really couldn't get rid of the young lady, perhaps it would be safest for the young master to rest in another courtyard.

Pei Dongzhou stared intently at Shen Shuyi: "Why go through all this trouble? This is my residence. Why should I go to such lengths just to make room for my cousin? Does she feel dizzy if she lies on my bed?" Shen Shuyi felt very guilty, but she still shamelessly replied: "To be honest, I feel much better lying on this bed. Maybe the feng shui of this bed is more suitable for me."

Pei Dongzhou: ...

Qingzhu sneered upon hearing this. No one would believe the young lady's nonsense. The young master is wise and powerful, and he certainly wouldn't let the young lady act so recklessly.

"Hearing my cousin say that, should I lend her my bed?" Pei Dongzhou's tone was slightly cool.

Shen Shuyi chuckled three times: "No need for that, I just need to sleep here for one night. Please, Cousin Prince, have mercy and grant me this once, okay?"

Pei Dongzhou coldly said, "Cousin, let's go. Don't make me personally kick you out."

Shen Shuyi turned around, hugged her pillow, and decided to stay there no matter what: "I'll just sleep for one night, cousin, don't kick me out."

Pei Dongzhou wouldn't tolerate her acting so shamelessly, and directly grabbed her.

Having no other choice, Shen Shuyi simply stepped forward and hugged Pei Dongzhou's neck, intending to linger for as long as possible. Who knows, maybe the system would take pity on her and let her complete the task?
Pei Dongzhou had never seen such a shameless person, especially a woman. How come he never realized this woman was so good at being a scoundrel before?

Seeing Pei Dongzhou looking at her quietly, Shen Shuyi realized that her embrace of Pei Dongzhou was too intimate.

She quickly withdrew her hand and moved further into the bed, saying, "My head is so dizzy..."

Pei Dongzhou straightened up and suddenly realized that he didn't need to be so polite to her.

He only needed to press her pressure points, and she would leave naturally. However, her body was weak, so it was best to avoid pressing her pressure points if possible, lest something serious happen…

"My cousin asked me to sleep here for the night, and I'll agree to any condition he asks!" Shen Shuyi knew she couldn't win against Pei Dongzhou.

Moreover, Prince Pei had already kindly let her rest for a while. Since she was so shameless in clinging to his bed, it was already a mercy that he didn't kill her with a single blow.

Pei Dongzhou looked at Shen Shuyi with a calm expression: "What does my cousin have to offer me in terms of terms?"

Shen Shuyi was speechless; she really had no right to negotiate with him.

So she pinched her thigh hard, tears streaming down her face from the pain: "But I'm really in pain, I feel like I'm dying, can't my cousin have some pity on me?"

Pei Dongzhou was usually cold-hearted, but seeing this woman's tears made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

No, my cousin Shen has been acting very contradictory lately. Most of the time she's extremely respectful to him, but sometimes she suddenly gets deliberately close to him. What is she planning?
Seeing Pei Dongzhou staring at her coldly, Shen Shuyi's heart suddenly raced.

Just as she was feeling extremely anxious, Prince Pei finally spoke: "Does my cousin really intend to stay overnight in the East Garden?"

Shen Shuyi nodded vigorously.

"Even if I want you to warm my bed and I don't give you a title, you still want to stay?" Pei Dongzhou sat on the edge of the bed and slowly approached Shen Shuyi.

The man's warm breath entered Shen Shuyi's nostrils, penetrating every nostril, causing her pupils to constrict and leaving her speechless for a moment.

"Do you think my bed is so easy to climb into? Do you think that by sleeping in this bed, I will grant you a title? Cousin Shen is still too naive. Even if I take away your virginity, I will not even give you a place in the inner chamber."

Pei Dongzhou looked directly at Shen Shuyi, his expression still gentle, but what he said was anything but pleasant.
