Jiaojiao is getting married, and the male leads fall for her and fight over her.
Chapter 120 He was rude and domineering
Chapter 120 He was rude and domineering
Shen Shuyi thought everyone was rushing over to join in the fun, but no one asked her what she thought.
She glanced at Xia Nianchu, who was silently shedding tears, and thought to herself that she still had to clean up this mess herself. Fortunately, she had planned ahead.
Having made up her mind, she coughed lightly and said, "Perhaps Grandmother should ask me, the person involved, what I think."
The old lady called Shen Shuyi over, took her hand and asked, "Bei-ge'er is a good man. If he truly wants to marry you, Yi-jie, why don't you consider it?"
For a moment, everyone present looked at Shen Shuyi.
Some people were nervous, some were watching the show, and some were bewildered.
Shen Shuyi said decisively, "Fourth cousin is indeed very good, but second cousin is also right, I am indeed not good enough for fourth cousin."
"Silly child, don't listen to your second cousin's nonsense. You are so good, you and your fourth cousin are a perfect match." The old lady disliked Shen Shuyi's belittling of her.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Of course I'm good, but the person I want to marry can't have someone else in his heart. My fourth cousin has someone he likes; he likes my cousin Xia. Just now outside Heshou Hall, they were even hugging each other. How can I do something like breaking up a loving couple?"
The old lady's expression changed slightly. She glanced at Pei Beizhou, then at Xia Nianchu, whose eyes were red-rimmed: "Really?!"
Yes, the other day, Brother Bei's gaze towards Sister Nian was not innocent.
“Of course it’s true. Third cousin was there too.” Shen Shuyi looked at Pei Xizhou and asked, “Third cousin, am I lying? You saw Fourth cousin and Xia cousin hugging just now.”
That's why she asked the female lead to step in.
As long as the female lead appears, she can break this deadlock.
Although she didn't know why Pei Beizhou had suddenly decided to marry her, the old lady doted on her and probably wouldn't let her marry a man who already had someone else in his heart.
That way, she wouldn't have to marry Pei Beizhou.
Pei Xizhou answered truthfully without hesitation: "I did see Beizhou and Cousin Xia hugging just now."
The old lady's anxiety finally died.
Bei Ge'er was already considering marrying Yi Jie'er when Xia Nianchu suddenly appeared.
Even though she hoped that Yi Jie could marry into the Marquis's mansion, she couldn't let Yi Jie marry a man who already had someone else in his heart, otherwise how miserable would Yi Jie's life be?
Pei Beizhou finally understood the intricacies of the situation and looked at Shen Shuyi. He had underestimated his cousin Shen's reaction speed.
He thought the matter was settled, and that he could marry his cousin Shen as long as his grandmother agreed. But things went wrong with Xia Nianchu.
"Bei-ge'er, since you have someone in your heart, then stop trying to woo Yi-jie. Yi-jie is currently looking for a husband; her marriage can be arranged slowly, there's no rush." With the old lady's words, the matter was put to rest.
Pei Beizhou wanted to say something, but because of Xia Nianchu's appearance, anything he said would be wrong, so he could only suppress his thoughts for the time being.
However, there is still a long time to come, and he will still have a chance to win Shen Shuyi in the future.
If all else fails, he'll find an opportunity to ruin Shen's reputation and force her to be with him.
His gaze fell on Shen Shuyi's face, and Shen Shuyi glared back, disliking Pei Beizhou's sinister look at her.
She snuggled into the old lady's arms, and when she looked up, she saw Pei Nanzhou and Pei Dongzhou staring at her. She knew these two brothers would think she was deliberately seducing Pei Beizhou again. This time, she was truly innocent. How could she have known Pei Beizhou was so deranged? If she had known, she certainly wouldn't have done something so foolish as to threaten Pei Si.
The old lady wanted to speak with Shen Shuyi alone, so she asked everyone else to leave. She took Shen Shuyi's hand and asked, "Girl, do you really not like Bei Ge'er?"
Shen Shuyi replied decisively: "I don't like Fourth Cousin at all. Fourth Cousin has Xia in his heart. If I were to like Fourth Cousin, wouldn't I just be asking for trouble?"
"What a pity..." The old lady still wanted this child to marry into the Marquis's mansion.
"It's no pity, no pity. There are plenty of good men out there. With my grandmother's help in choosing, I'm sure I'll be able to marry well," Shen Shuyi replied optimistically.
The old lady sighed softly, "I hope so."
Shen Shuyi deliberately ate lunch at Heshou Hall before returning to Fusang Courtyard, only to find someone waiting inside – it was Prince Pei.
Moreover, Prince Pei was sitting in the rocking chair she usually sat in, holding the storybook she usually read. Suddenly remembering something, she quickly stepped forward and snatched the storybook from Prince Pei's hand.
Prince Pei looked at her with a half-smile: "The Romantic Prince and the Charming Widow?"
Shen Shuyi felt the storybook in her hands was burning hot, so she simply threw it far away and asked seriously, "What does Cousin Prince want with me?"
Pei Dongzhou glanced at the storybook that Shen Shuyi had thrown far away and calmly asked, "How did my cousin manage to hook up with the fourth brother?"
Even when the fourth son and his cousin Xia were very close, the fourth son never considered marrying her. But this woman was formidable; she actually made the fourth son ask the old lady for her hand in marriage.
Shen Shuyi was a little guilty when she brought up the matter: "Last time, my fourth cousin broke the leg of the person I was supposed to be dating. I was furious, so I went to my fourth cousin and said some unpleasant things. I guess that's why my fourth cousin wanted revenge. If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. What do you mean by 'flirting'?!"
She admitted that she did get close to Prince Pei in order to complete the mission, but she never actually seduced that perverted and lewd man, Pei Beizhou.
"My cousin's yard is quite lively." Pei Nanzhou's voice suddenly rang out.
Shen Shuyi turned around and was surprised to see Pei Er coming over.
Pei Nanzhou has recently resumed her reclusive life, and she has almost forgotten about this person. Today, Pei Beizhou suddenly wants to propose to her, which will surely make Pei Nanzhou think that she is seducing Pei Beizhou.
Pei Nanzhou entered Fusang Courtyard with elegant steps. Seeing the young master Pei sitting leisurely in the rocking chair, he smiled slightly and said, "Big brother, seeing you like this, I thought I had entered your courtyard. When did you become so familiar with cousin Shen?"
Pei Dongzhou merely raised an eyebrow, maintaining his usual gentle demeanor: "What brings you here to see your cousin?"
"Can't I come to see my cousin if there's nothing wrong? Only the eldest brother is allowed to see his cousin?" Pei Nanzhou said sarcastically.
Shen Shuyi felt that the Pei brothers' words sounded very aggressive. Were the male leads about to have a fight? Should she step aside and let them do as they pleased?
"Shall I go pour some tea for my two cousins?" Shen Shuyi said, trying to sneak away.
The next moment, Pei Nanzhou suddenly grabbed her by the back of her collar, his movements rough and domineering: "Cousin, don't go, come and have a heart-to-heart talk with my brother."
Upon seeing this, Pei Dongzhou's smile faded: "Nanzhou, what are you doing?! Let go of my cousin!"
"If I don't let go, what will you do, brother?" Pei Nanzhou asked calmly.
