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

Chapter 74 Prince Pei is Jealous

Pei Xizhou was displeased upon hearing this: "Even if Su Su is ugly, I will still like her. I am not like you who only cares about looks."

"Didn't you used to like beautiful women too?" Li Yi became increasingly curious about Su Su's appearance. He wondered what made Pei Xizhou so infatuated with her. He leaned closer to see for himself.

Pei Xizhou couldn't stand Li Yi anymore, and he said helplessly, "You should leave."

"Today is your and Susu's wedding night. I haven't even had a wedding banquet yet, why should I leave?!" As Li Yi spoke, he gracefully sat down next to Pei Dongzhou.

Only then did he realize that Pei Nanzhou, who was usually so low-key, was also a guest of honor: "Did you all see Su Su's face? She's very ugly?"

Pei Nanzhou remained indifferent, glanced at Li Yi, and did not respond.

Li Yi really couldn't understand why Pei Nanzhou, who wasn't even the heir apparent, acted so arrogantly and looked down on everyone. Wasn't he still a member of the royal family?

"Dongzhou, did you see Susu's face?" Li Yi looked at Pei Dongzhou again.

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the gentle and refined Prince Pei looked sinister and a little scary.

As a result, Prince Pei ignored him. No one took him, a prince, seriously. What kind of behavior was this?
Just as Li Yi was feeling frustrated, Pei Xizhou gave him the order to leave: "You should leave. Su Su is almost scared to death by you being here."

"No, I haven't seen Su Su's face yet, I can't leave! Also, I'm going to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber tonight!" Li Yi said nonchalantly.

As soon as he said this, the Pei brothers looked at him coldly.

These Pei brothers were none other than Pei Dongzhou and Pei Nanzhou.

It's strange, why are they looking at him with such cold eyes?

"Why are you two looking at me with such murderous eyes? You can't possibly be jealous of Su Su because you've set your sights on her and Xi Zhou's wedding night, can you?" Li Yi said, realizing how absurd it was, and couldn't help but laugh.

Pei Xizhou frowned upon hearing this: "I've never even seen Su Su, and my eldest and second brothers couldn't possibly have seen her either. What nonsense are you spouting?"

Strangely enough, it seemed that neither Prince Pei nor Second Prince Pei were very happy after their arrival. Pei Nanzhou was usually taciturn and aloof, so his quiet nature was understandable.

But Prince Pei is different.

Prince Pei is a gentle and refined gentleman, as well as a worldly and sophisticated scion of a prominent family. As long as the sky doesn't fall, Prince Pei will always have a smile on his lips, as if nothing in the world can affect his good mood.

But tonight is different.

Although Prince Pei was smiling, his smile was particularly eerie, giving people goosebumps just by looking at it.

Could it be that Prince Pei is jealous because he has a mistress and someone is warming his bed?

Just as he was feeling confused, the little girl in his arms whispered to him, "Young master, please send this person away, I beg you."

His heart melted at these words. His mistress was such a coward; aside from being a bit unreliable, what was so scary about Li Yi?
"Alright, alright, Jiaojiao, don't be afraid. I'll chase him away right now."

Upon hearing the word "Jiaojiao," Pei Dongzhou and Pei Nanzhou simultaneously furrowed their brows.

Pei Xizhou, of course, was unaware of his two older brothers' complicated feelings. He looked at Li Yi and urged him to leave: "Did you hear that? Su Su hates you. You should leave now. I'm begging you."

Li Yi was puzzled. He had only wanted to see what the commotion was like, so why did Su Su dislike him so much? Even so, he didn't want to put his good friend in a difficult position.

It's okay if we can't see Su Su's face tonight; there will always be opportunities in the future.

"Alright, I'll head back now. I'll come back another day to see what your mistress looks like." Su Su had actually piqued Li Yi's curiosity.

He felt that Su Su's character was similar to that of the fake crabapple tree; she was always hiding things, so she must have something to hide and couldn't stand the light of day.

While he was thinking, he considered a surprise move and stepped forward to lift Su Su's veil to take a look, but unexpectedly, Prince Pei suddenly looked at him and said, "Your Highness, aren't you leaving yet?!"

Clearly, even Prince Pei found him an eyesore and hoped he would leave as soon as possible.

"Go, go, go! Fine, I'll leave!" Although Li Yi was unwilling, he didn't linger any longer and quickly left the hall.

Shen Shuyi felt relieved that Li Yi, this ticking time bomb, was finally gone.

She crawled out of Pei Xizhou's arms, feeling a little tired.

These days of anxiety are far from over. Tonight's ordeal is not over yet, and I don't know when I will be completely free.

Pei Xizhou was very close to her and heard her sigh. He asked with concern, "Are you tired?"

Shen Shuyi instantly switched into battle mode, nodding slightly: "I'm a little tired, young master, please entertain the guests first, I'll go inside and rest for a while."

Pei Xizhou realized that with so many experts present, no matter how capable Su Su was, she couldn't escape his grasp, so he finally let go of her hand.

Shen Shuyi didn't look at Pei Dongzhou and Pei Nanzhou, and turned to enter the main room.

Seeing that Pei Dongzhou and Pei Nanzhou were both looking at Shen Shuyi's back, Pei Xizhou assumed that they were unhappy that she hadn't bowed to them, so he spoke up for her, saying, "Su Su might be shy around strangers, so don't take it to heart."

Pei Nanzhou curled his lips sarcastically upon hearing this: "What if we insist on arguing with her? What are you going to do? Judging from your tone, you still want her to enter the Marquis's mansion?"

Is Xizhou blind? He owns a Baixianglou restaurant, yet he can't see that it's his cunning and promiscuous cousin Shen?
Shen, this restless woman, failed to seduce him and Prince Pei, so she tried to seduce Xizhou. To his utter astonishment, Xizhou actually fell into Shen's seductive trap.

What's even more amazing is that Xizhou hasn't even seen Shen's face yet. How could he have placed her in the outer residence without even seeing a woman's face?
“I did have that intention, but I felt that Su Su seemed to want to run away. Because I was afraid that she would escape, I thought of taking her body first and making her mine. Temporarily placing her in the outer residence was also a temporary measure. Otherwise, I would not have placed her in the outer residence overnight. It was just because I was afraid that she would escape and I would not be able to find her again.” Pei Xizhou finally revealed his true feelings.

Shen Shuyi was eavesdropping indoors when she realized that Pei Xizhou had seen through her desire to escape.

Her gaze fell on the lamp, her eyes flickering slightly.

Previously, Pei Xizhou had kept a close watch on her, constantly holding her hand, and she couldn't shake him off. But this time was different; as soon as she was alone, she would have the opportunity to drug him.

She brought four types of sleeping potions with her this time, one of which was incense. If she lit it, she might be able to incapacitate everyone.

If we don’t take action now, when will we take action?

She stepped forward to remove the lampshade, intending to take action, when Pei Dongzhou's voice suddenly rang out at the main door: "In that case, why don't I keep an eye on her for you, so you don't end up with nothing..."

　Haha, writing this was quite fun, thank you for the votes, my darlings!
