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

Chapter 127 The Cousin Wants to Get Engaged
Inside the Fusang Courtyard, Shen Shu saw that Grandma Sun had come to find him. After some subtle questioning, he learned that the old lady had also been invited to the South Garden, and he knew that Pei Nanzhou was closing in.

However, she wasn't scared at all.

When she arrived at Nanyuan, the old lady was already there.

The old lady didn't know why Zhang had invited her over, but when she saw Shen Shuyi arrive, she guessed that Zhang's mobilization was related to Yi-jie.

The old lady immediately beckoned to Shen Shuyi, inviting her to sit next to her.

Anyway, with her there, she will protect this child.

Shen Shuyi obediently sat down next to the old lady. The old lady gently patted the back of her hand and looked at her lovingly, as if telling her not to be afraid.

She smiled sweetly, feeling warm inside; it felt so good to be pampered by the old lady.

When Zhang saw this scene, her eyes darkened slightly.

She would never allow Yi Jie'er to lay a finger on her son. They were all outstanding; how could Yi Jie'er, an orphan with an unknown father, dare to have designs on her son?

The best solution is to get Yi Jie'er married out of the Marquis's mansion as soon as possible; that's the best approach.

"I wonder what brings you here, Aunt?" Shen Shu asked directly when Zhang Shi remained silent.

"What do you want to say about Nan-ge'er catching a cold, Yi-jie?" Madam Zhang broke the silence and asked.

Shen Shuyi looked at the sickly Pei Nanzhou and obediently replied, "I have nothing to say. I told my second cousin to go back, but he insisted on staying and getting soaked in the rain. I couldn't drag him away. It's his own problem that he caught a cold, not because I told him to get soaked in the rain."

She shouldn't take the blame for this!
"Then let me ask you, is it true that you want to become the Crown Prince's wife?!" Madam Zhang asked in a deep voice, wanting everyone to see clearly Yi-jie'er's ambition.

How dare she, a mere orphan, aspire to the position of the Crown Prince's wife?
Before Shen Shuyi could even speak, the system suddenly logged on and stirred things up again: [Crematorium Mission Triggered: Please propose to Pei Dongzhou in public, within 15 minutes!]

Shen Shuyi: ...

Very well, the system always keeps her on the verge of death. The system won't stop until it kills her!
Didn't you propose once before? Why make her do it again in public?
Seeing everyone looking at her, the old lady could not hide her anxiety, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

Oh well, so be it if the company dies. She felt she was close to completing the mission; she could complete any mission.

She felt confident that she could handle the challenge.

Thinking of this, she got up and walked to Prince Pei.

Pei Dongzhou saw Shen Shuyi walking towards him and wondered what his cousin was up to now.

Whatever she wanted to do, this wasn't the right occasion...

Just then, he heard his cousin Shen say to him, "I want to marry my cousin, the Crown Prince. Can you promise me the title of Crown Prince's wife?"

Her words stunned everyone, including Pei Dongzhou himself and Pei Nanzhou.

Pei Nanzhou really didn't expect Shen Shuyi to be so reckless, especially with her mother and grandmother present.

Shen Shuyi looked at everyone who seemed struck by lightning, and since she couldn't get a reply from the system, she didn't know whether she had completed the task or not. Pei Dongzhou opened his mouth, as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

Madam Zhang finally came to her senses. She looked coldly at the old lady and said, "Mother, you saw it too. It wasn't enough that Yi-jie had offended Nan-ge'er; she actually wanted to marry Dong-ge'er. How could Yi-jie possibly be worthy of someone like Dong-ge'er? How dare she?!"

The old lady was also shocked, but she couldn't bear to hear Zhang's words and retorted, "Yi'er is so good, it would be Dong-ge'er's good fortune to marry her..."

"Ridiculous! What kind of noble lady wouldn't Dong-ge marry? How could he possibly be interested in Yi-jie? This is the kind of girl Mother raised, restless and unfit for marriage—"

“Aunt, this has nothing to do with my grandmother. It’s my problem. Aunt, don’t drag my grandmother into this.” Shen Shuyi interrupted Zhang’s reckless words in time.

The system logged back in a moment later: [Crematorium quest triggered: Please choose any man to be betrothed!]

Shen Shuyi: ? ? ?

What does this mean? Is the system really going to arrange a marriage for her? And it doesn't matter which man she's with?
“The girls I raised are excellent. Yi’er grew up in the Marquis’s mansion and is a girl of great wealth and honor. She is no worse than the sons you, Zhang, raised!” The old lady, who was protective of her own, retorted to Zhang.

Shen Shuyi felt a warmth in her heart when she saw the old lady protecting her unconditionally.

She glanced at the silent Prince Pei; she hadn't wanted to drag him into this. After all, aside from the Old Madam, Prince Pei was one of the kindest people to her.

"Since Mother's daughter is so good, she should be married off from the Marquis's mansion as soon as possible, lest she come back to cause trouble—"

"Mother, that's enough!" Pei Dongzhou couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily.

His voice was so loud that it stunned everyone present.

The South Garden fell silent instantly.

Shen Shuyi looked at Pei Nanzhou sitting on the bed. He was the only one who seemed to be enjoying the show, clearly very satisfied with the chaos she had caused.

At this moment, Pei Nanzhou also looked at her, a faint smile appearing on his lips: "My cousin is absolutely wonderful, otherwise I wouldn't like her so much. It's a pity that my elder brother won't marry her, so my cousin shouldn't count on becoming the wife of the heir apparent."

Shen Shuyi knew that Pei Nanzhou was mocking her for overestimating herself. This male lead must think that she really wanted the position of the Crown Prince's wife and that she would be heartbroken. Unfortunately, she was going to disappoint Pei Er.

"Grandmother, I want to get married." Shen Shuyi returned to sit down next to the old lady.

The old lady was taken aback, then her face darkened: "You don't need to take Zhang's words to heart..."

Shen Shuyi smiled and shook her head: "I don't care about what my aunt said, but it's true that I want to get married. Although I've met quite a few men recently, I haven't found anyone I like. However, I did have a crush on a man before, his surname is Ling, and his given name is Zong. At that time, because I wasn't feeling well, the meeting with Ling Lang didn't go anywhere. He said he was willing to wait until I recovered. Why don't you ask someone to see if Ling Lang is still willing to get engaged to me? If he is, how about we pick an auspicious day to set the date for our marriage?"

The old lady looked at her with concern, clearly not believing that she had just proposed to Prince Pei and then said she wanted to get married, probably thinking she was just being stubborn.

Seeing that the old lady didn't believe him, Shen Shu said solemnly, "If Grandmother meets Ling Lang, she will know how good he is. If I can get engaged to Ling Lang, I will definitely live a very happy life. Grandmother, believe me, I have the best eye for people."

"Yi-jie, marriage is not a game. Do you know what you're saying?!" The old lady looked at the girl she had raised with deep concern.

She just couldn't understand it. How could Yi-jie, who was so wonderful, not be a good match for the Pei family's son?
