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

Chapter 94 The ambiguous relationship between Prince Pei and Cousin Shen…

Pei Dongzhou served food to Shen Shuyi without paying attention to his own actions, and said in a gentle voice, "Cousin Shen seems quite easy to fool. Let's try it out when we're bored."

People can laugh when they're speechless. Shen Shuyi thought to herself that she had only stolen two kisses from him... and yet she was already being retaliated against by Prince Pei.

Well, compared to the fact that he stole a kiss from her, the fact that he lied to her seems insignificant.

No wonder everyone looks at her like she's an idiot; neither the young master nor the young lady of the Pei family is any good.

Pei Nanzhou looked at Shen Shuyi's reddened face and inexplicably felt that the red marks looked somewhat glaring.

No, Pei Shizi's attitude is strange. Why is he teasing Shen Shuyi?
This is clearly just teasing, isn't it?
When did Prince Pei become so familiar with Shen Shuyi?
And Prince Pei even helped Shen Shuyi serve food?!
He looked Pei Shizi and Shen Biaomei up and down, feeling that there was something not quite right between them.

Previously, Shen Shuyi's outstanding performance had displeased Xia Nianchu. The table was already full, but the old lady still invited Shen Shuyi to sit down. Upon this woman's arrival, the previously aloof and ethereal Prince Pei suddenly descended from his pedestal and began teasing Shen Shuyi.

Could it be that Shen Shuyi has really seduced the Crown Prince's cousin?
The thought of this possibility ignited a fire of jealousy within her, and she asked, feigning curiosity, "Cousin Shen, you must have spent a lot of time preparing for this, right? Are you perhaps trying to take advantage of the gathering of so many distinguished young men today to secure a good marriage for yourself?"

As soon as Xia Nianchu said this, everyone's attention fell on Shen Shuyi again.

Even though everyone was worldly-wise, they had to admit that the birthday gift Shen Shuyi had prepared was indeed outstanding, attracting everyone's attention and even impressing them.

Although Pei Nanzhou also thought that Shen Shuyi's birthday gift was indeed outstanding, he still disapproved of Shen Shuyi's flirtatious behavior: "It seems that Cousin Shen doesn't want to be my concubine, but wants to marry into a prestigious family and become my principal wife. However, Cousin may be disappointed. Cousin's background—"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuyi revealed a sweet smile: "So much food can't shut Second Cousin's mouth. It seems Second Cousin is even more talkative than the average gossip. I wonder where Second Cousin gets his sense of superiority. Does being born into a better family make him so high and mighty?"

Shen Shuyi had been putting up with Pei Nanzhou for a long time.

If she hadn't yet completed her mission, she would have liked to flip the table and throw a bowl of soup in Pei Nanzhou's face.

Pei Nanzhou, unwilling to be ridiculed by Shen Shuyi, retorted, "Some people come from humble backgrounds, yet they lack even the most basic self-awareness—"

"Nanzhou, you've gone too far!" Pei Dongzhou looked at Pei Nanzhou, his face devoid of any smile.

Under Pei Dongzhou's gaze, Pei Nanzhou finally fell silent.

Today is his grandmother's birthday banquet; he really should know when to stop.

He didn't know why, but whenever he faced Shen Shuyi, all his rationality vanished, and he only wanted to compete with her. Clearly, he wasn't like this before.

Seeing that Pei Nanzhou had calmed down, Xia Nianchu was unwilling to let the topic end there, and wanted to add fuel to the fire: "Cousin Shen really shone today. If she could find a good family because of this—"

"Don't talk while eating or sleeping. Has no one taught Cousin Xia any manners?!" Pei Dongzhou said bluntly, almost implying that she had no manners.

Xia Nianchu was surprised that Prince Pei would reprimand her. Her eyes reddened slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Pei Beizhou.

Pei Beizhou didn't look at her this time, and seemed to be lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

She then looked at Pei Yuexuan, hoping Pei Yuexuan would stand up for her. But Pei Yuexuan was a coward; seeing that the young master Pei had stopped smiling, how could she dare to speak?

Strangely enough, all her brothers were outstanding individuals, and while Prince Pei always seemed the most approachable among them, with a constant smile, she found him the most terrifying. Seeing Pei Nanzhou finally shut up, Shen Shu momentarily forgot about how Prince Pei had teased her earlier. She returned the favor by serving food to Pei Dongzhou.

Her action drew everyone's attention once again.

Those chopsticks were clearly used by Shen Shuyi. How could she dare to use those chopsticks to serve food to Pei Dongzhou?

To their surprise, Pei Dongzhou ate the food prepared by Shen Shuyi without changing his expression, a scene that astonished everyone.

Shen Shuyi belatedly realized that she had used her own chopsticks to serve food to Pei Shizi. She originally wanted to take the food back, but Pei Dongzhou put it into her thin lips and glanced over.

She immediately looked away, and suddenly felt a little hot in her face.

After that, fearing something might go wrong again, she sat obediently in her seat, burying herself in her food until she finished eating. She wanted to find a chance to slip away, but as soon as she got up, several ladies came over and started chatting with her.

Don't be fooled by how well she manages in the Marquis's mansion; it's only because the old lady is backing her up that she has the confidence to do so.

Facing these unfamiliar noble ladies, she was afraid that if she gave a bad answer, she would bring shame to the Marquis's mansion and embarrass the old lady. Therefore, she was particularly reserved when she answered.

When they learned that she was a cousin raised by Madam Pei herself, and seeing her obedient and sensible appearance, these noble ladies had different thoughts.

Although Shen Shuyi is only a cousin of the Marquis's family, she is highly regarded by the old lady. Moreover, she seems to be a well-behaved and sensible girl. The birthday gift she presented today was outstanding and even won praise from His Highness the Crown Prince. This suggests that marrying this cousin might allow them to maintain close ties with the Marquis's family in the future.

Especially since Miss Shen was sitting next to Prince Pei just now, and Prince Pei even served her food, doesn't this mean that Prince Pei values ​​Shen Shuyi?
If that's the case, then when Prince Pei inherits the Marquis's mansion in the future, Miss Shen will still have value.

Shen Shuyi thought that by revealing her name and letting these noble ladies know that she was just a poor orphan, they would stop paying attention to her. But to her surprise, they still chatted with her warmly. One of them, Madam Li, even wanted to take her to meet her son on the spot.

Just as she was feeling lost and confused, A-Jian hurriedly came over and said, "The old lady wants the young lady to come over."

Shen Shuyi felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She smiled apologetically at Madam Li before leaving with A-Jian.

She had just left the banquet when the system suddenly logged in: [Rescue the male lead mission triggered: Please rescue the male lead from the female lead's clutches!]

Shen Shuyi: ? ? ?

A-Jian was walking ahead when suddenly there was no sound behind her. She turned around and saw that her young lady was gone.

Upon receiving the mission, Shen Shuyi changed course, not forgetting to ask the system which male lead had fallen into Xia Nianchu's hands. She also wanted to know why she had ruined the good time between the male and female leads.

The female lead wants to seduce Pei Nanzhou into bed.

"I think they're a good match. If they end up together, it would fit the plot of the book." Shen Shuyi didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.

She truly believed that the female lead and Pei Nanzhou were a perfect match, and she was optimistic about this couple.
