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

Chapter 78 You're a mistress in Xizhou, so why don't I take you as my concubine?

Shen Shuyi felt guilty and said weakly, "I... I seemed to be under a spell at the time. I didn't mean to be frivolous. Do you believe me, Cousin Prince?"

Seeing her guilty look, Pei Dongzhou sneered: "Do you think I would believe your nonsense?"

Shen Shuyi thought to herself that she didn't believe it either, but what could she do? She had already kissed him forcibly.

She blurted out, "We've already kissed, so if Cousin Prince feels he's been taken advantage of, why don't you kiss him back?"

Pei Dongzhou scoffed upon hearing this, not at all surprised to hear such words from this woman.

Shen Shuyi wanted to slap herself a few times. What kind of talk was that? Pei Shizi, this aloof and elegant young master, had been defiled by her. He was avoiding her like the plague, and she dared to spout such nonsense?

She quickly tried to cover it up: "I... I was just joking. How could I be laughing if I wasn't joking?"

Pei Dongzhou looked coldly at Shen Shuyi: "Every single thing my cousin has done is utterly rebellious!"

Shen Shuyi quickly bowed and said, "It's my fault. If you're too angry, cousin, you can hit me a couple of times, right? But I think it's better not to use your internal energy. If you use it, my small body might not be able to withstand a palm strike from you..."

She kept babbling on and on while grabbing Pei Dongzhou's hand and slapping it against her own face.

Pei Dongzhou forcefully pulled his hand back: "You think you can wash away your sins like this?!"

"Then what can I do to get rid of you, cousin?" Shen Shuyi's eyes darted around, and she suddenly said, "How about I go and arrange the marriage myself, so you won't have to trouble yourself, cousin? You definitely don't want to see my face again..."

Pei Dongzhou interrupted her with a cold laugh: "What, you don't want to get married, but you still want to continue to torment us brothers in the Marquis's mansion? I'm warning you, you're not allowed to approach the third brother again. If I find out you still dare to make a move on him, I will—"

His threat abruptly stopped, and for a moment he didn't know what harsh words to use to express his dissatisfaction with his cousin Shen.

Shen Shuyi was waiting for Pei Dongzhou to finish his threat, but after a while there was no follow-up, she kindly added, "If I try to seduce my third cousin again next time, my cousin the young master can just strangle me."

Even if the system assigns her a task to approach Pei San next time, she won't be seducing him, so the young master Pei won't need to strangle her.

Pei Dongzhou looked at Shen Shuyi with complicated emotions, suddenly feeling utterly exhausted.

"Cousin, behave yourself from now on and don't try to seduce the men of the Pei family again!" With that, he turned and left.

Having gotten rid of Pei Shizi, her biggest creditor, Shen Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to go back to her room, she caught a glimpse of Pei Nanzhou slowly walking into the courtyard.

"Is there something you need, Second Cousin?" Shen Shuyi felt that dealing with Pei Nanzhou was easier than dealing with Pei Dongzhou, simply because she didn't have much interaction with Pei Nanzhou.

Pei Nanzhou walked gracefully up to her and said calmly, "If it weren't for my elder brother helping me today, would you really be planning to become Xizhou's mistress? Why go to such lengths to climb up to us brothers? Instead of being Xizhou's mistress, I'd rather take you as my concubine. All I need to do is tell my grandmother."

Since she'd rather be a mistress than stay with the brothers, he could grant her wish, so she wouldn't provoke this one today and seduce that one tomorrow, manipulating the brothers at will.

Especially the way the third brother acted as if he were going to die for Su Su, which made him furious.

Shen Shuyi originally had no particular feelings of liking or disliking Pei Nanzhou, but she could bow her head and admit her mistakes to Pei Dongzhou and feel guilty towards Pei Xizhou, but she never felt that she was inferior to Pei Nanzhou.

She forced a smile and said, "But what can I do? I'd rather be my third cousin's mistress than my second cousin's concubine." Pei Nanzhou really didn't expect Shen Shuyi to say such a thing.

Xizhou has always been the most dissolute member of the Marquis's household, spending his days idly and frequenting the Baixiang Pavilion. No respectable young lady from a respectable family dares to marry Xizhou.

Although he remained unemployed at home, he was still the object of desire for many young ladies.

This was the first time someone had abandoned him without hesitation and chosen Xizhou, and it was none other than his cousin Shen, whom he looked down upon.

"It's a pity that my cousin didn't even have the chance to be the third brother's mistress. If it weren't for my eldest brother helping you get out of this today, and the third brother finding out that you are the cousin he hates the most, do you think he would even give you a second glance?" Pei Nanzhou's thin lips curled into a mocking smile.

No one had ever humiliated him like this before; how dare this woman?
"My love life is none of your concern, Second Cousin. I have a vast world ahead of me, and I don't only have eyes for men. Besides, I have no interest in humbling myself as a concubine for any man. My Cousin, the Heir Apparent, just said that he would take me to meet potential husbands and even pick out the best possible husband for me. In my opinion, both Third Cousin and the Heir Apparent are far, far better than Second Cousin." Shen Shuyi knew that Pei Nanzhou had a strong sense of pride, so she deliberately said things that would annoy him.

As expected, Pei Nanzhou's usually indifferent expression cracked slightly for a moment.

"Do you think any of the young talents in the capital would dare to marry you if they knew you were unfaithful?! Do you believe that with just one word from me, I can let every man in the capital know what kind of person you are!" Pei Nanzhou said angrily without thinking.

Shen Shuyi offered a fake smile: "Oh dear, I'm so scared. Second cousin, don't wait until dawn. Go out into the streets and alleys now and shout that I'm not content with my marriage. Anyway, if I can't get married, I'll just stay in the Marquis's mansion and never leave. Occasionally I'll seduce Third cousin, and occasionally I'll seduce the young master cousin. Second cousin will see me being so restless every day..."

Seeing Pei Nanzhou's increasingly dark face, Shen Shuyi suddenly remembered that this was the male lead.

She has a long way to go before completing her mission, so it's best not to rush things.

"I was just joking, cousin. Don't get angry over someone like me. It's not worth it. It's late, second cousin, please go back." Shen Shuyi said, turning around and going back into the house, leaving Pei Nanzhou behind.

After checking the affection levels of the male leads towards her, she found that none of them had decreased. Even when Pei Nanzhou was so angry with her just now, his affection level didn't drop; that was truly strange.

Because she had earned a lot of points tonight, Shen Shuyi was in a very good mood and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.

In contrast, in the East Garden, Prince Pei couldn't sleep no matter what he tried.

Whenever he closes his eyes, the image of being forcibly kissed by Shen Shuyi replays repeatedly.

Because he was restless and agitated, he simply got up and practiced swordsmanship to vent his frustration.

Qingyun was puzzled by this scene: "What's wrong with the young master?"

Qingzhu was very distressed: "I'm worried that Miss Shen will defile the young master. The young master is still young and vigorous, and I'm really afraid that one day he will be defiled by Miss Shen."

Qingyun was stunned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

A man like the young master is so powerful that it's difficult for any woman to even get close to him. How could Miss Shen Biao possibly have the chance to disrespect the young master?

　Haha
