Chapter 107 She's so weak...

Shen Shuyi stopped talking, and Pei Dongzhou also found it boring.

However, the restlessness in his heart could not be dispelled, weighing heavily on his mind.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his cousin Shen sitting in the far corner, looking like a wronged little wife, which made him even more agitated.

What is she doing? Is she afraid he will bully her?

How could a grown man like him possibly do anything to her in a carriage?
Furthermore, since she said she likes him, shouldn't she seize this opportunity to be alone with him and seduce him properly?

Shen Shuyi felt Pei Shizi's gaze on her. At first, it wasn't so obvious, but later it was hard for her not to notice.

She felt extremely uncomfortable and couldn't understand what was wrong with Prince Pei.

She shrank back, hoping that Prince Pei would spare her trouble because of her weakness.

Moreover, she went to Dajue Temple for a while and didn't bother him anymore. Today, she is going on a blind date as he wished. He can't just dislike her because she is too sensible, can he?
"Sit over here." Just as she was getting nervous, Prince Pei suddenly gave her the order.

Shen Shuyi returned his smile with a sweet smile: "I'm fine sitting here."

Let's not go there, lest we be disliked by Prince Pei.

"What, do you want me to sit over there?" Pei Dongzhou dropped the pretense and took off the fake smile he usually wore.

Shen Shuyi paused for a moment. Although she didn't understand why Prince Pei was acting crazy, it was always better to go along with him.

Let her think about it. In the original novel, Prince Pei didn't turn evil or anything, right?
Pei Nanzhou's character was a bit off, but it seems to have been fixed now.

Prince Pei seems like a normal person, and the old lady trusts him so much, so he probably wouldn't harm her.

Having mentally prepared herself in this way, she slowly moved to a position two feet away from Prince Pei.

Pei Dongzhou was very patient. Seeing that she had moved around for a while and there were still two people between them, he said leisurely, "Come here and sit down next to me."

Shen Shuyi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but speak out: "Cousin, this distance is just right for us to talk. We are both unmarried, so it's not appropriate for us to be too close."

Pei Dongzhou laughed upon hearing this: "When Cousin Shen kissed me again and again, why didn't you say it was bad?"

Shen Shuyi: ...

This is about bringing up old grievances. Should she try to deny it, saying that the person who kissed him wasn't her at all?
Anyway, he didn't have any concrete evidence to prove it was her.

"What are you saying, Cousin Prince? I didn't do anything immoral at all. You can't just accuse me without any evidence." At this moment, Shen Shuyi was quite satisfied with her thick skin.

In critical moments, they are willing to go all out and even lie through their teeth.

“It turns out I was mistaken; it wasn’t my cousin who was my biological cousin. Oh well, I have no proof. How about I ask Li Yi to help me settle this? What do you think, cousin?” Pei Dongzhou said leisurely.

Shen Shuyi's brow twitched slightly; she immediately understood that Prince Pei was forcing her to admit to kissing him. If she didn't admit it, he would find Li Yi and tell him about her faking Haitang.

If Li Yi, that scoundrel, were to bring her into the Prince's mansion, that would be a disaster.

Shen Shuyi immediately changed her expression: "Oh dear, what kind of relationship do I have with my cousin, the Crown Prince? Why would I drag the Prince into this?"

Pei Dongzhou beckoned with his finger: "Cousin, come sit here."

Shen Shuyi readily agreed this time and sat down next to Pei Dongzhou as instructed.

Seeing how obedient Shen was to him, Pei Dongzhou felt that he had finally gotten his revenge.

Shen Shuyi thought Pei Dongzhou would still question her about whether she had kissed him, but this man was strange; after asking her to sit down, he didn't say anything.

Silence returned to the carriage.

She prayed to return to the Marquis's residence quickly so she could escape her current awkward situation. Whether her prayers worked or Pei Dongzhou had no intention of making things difficult for her, they soon arrived at the Marquis's residence.

Just as she was about to disembark from the carriage, Prince Pei suddenly asked, "Cousin, would you like to continue looking at potential partners?"

"Of course!" Shen Shuyi replied quickly.

Although the person she met today was rather unattractive, he still managed to make up a number. How could she complete her task if she didn't continue to look at other people?
Pei Dongzhou smiled upon hearing this: "Alright, I'll continue to take my cousin to see potential partners."

In the past, Shen Shuyi would have felt that it was safer to find Pei Xizhou, but Li Yi, who was by Pei Xizhou's side, was a ticking time bomb, so it was better to find Pei Dongzhou than Pei Xizhou.

If Pei Dongzhou's path is blocked, perhaps she will have no choice but to turn to Pei Xizhou.

In short, it's a huge headache.

After bidding farewell to Prince Pei, Shen Shuyi returned to Fusang Courtyard.

In the evening, Pei Xizhou came to find her, saying that he would take her to see a potential partner the next day.

"That prince isn't with my cousin, is he?" Shen Shuyi asked first.

Pei Xizhou quickly replied, "Of course not. I was negligent today, and I will never let my cousin worry again."

Shen Shuyi was relieved upon hearing this: "Third cousin is so kind! I'll go on a blind date with you tomorrow!"

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she should be able to meet her second blind date tomorrow, leaving her with eight more potential partners.

Seeing how enthusiastic she was about finding a match, Pei Xizhou finally realized that she had truly come to terms with things and would no longer bother the brothers.

"It's good that you're thinking positively, cousin. From now on, you should carefully consider your options and find a good man of excellent character to marry," Pei Xizhou said seriously.

Shen Shuyi smiled and nodded: "Third cousin, would you like to have dinner at Fusang Courtyard?"

"No, thank you," Pei Xizhou said, getting up.

Shen Shuyi attentively saw Pei San off from Fusang Courtyard, and only returned to Fusang Courtyard satisfied after he had gone far away.

After she returned to Fusang Temple, Pei Beizhou came out.

He unexpectedly ran into Pei Xizhou. Seeing him arrive at Fusang Courtyard, he curiously followed to see what was going on. It turned out that his cousin Shen wanted to find a husband, and Pei Xizhou was helping her make arrangements.

This is interesting. Pei Xizhou used to dislike his cousin Shen, but now he's actually taking her to a matchmaker?

Even though Cousin Shen was just like him, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion disliked her, why is it that Cousin Shen is now liked by everyone in the Marquis's mansion?
Even Prince Pei is treating Cousin Shen better and better.

This woman wants to find a husband and marry into a good family, but he deliberately makes it impossible for her to have her way.

Thinking of this, he felt that he should create some obstacles for Shen Shuyi, preferably that all the men she was interested in would have accidents, and that she would be known as a jinx, so that she would not be able to get married.

Pei Beizhou made his decision and turned to leave.

Shortly after he left, Pei Dongzhou appeared. He had seen Pei Beizhou's sinister smile earlier, as if he was plotting something.

It seems we still need to keep a close eye on Pei Si to prevent him from doing anything outrageous.

Early the next morning, Shen Shuyi, accompanied by Pei Xizhou, went to the meeting place.

When she arrived, her date hadn't arrived yet.

However, she was patient and just waited for the person to arrive. Once they met, it wouldn't hurt to wait a little longer.
