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

Chapter 162: Worship Heaven and Earth

With the idea of ​​mutual praise and benefit, Shen Shuyi smiled brightly and replied, "You look especially good in that outfit, Cousin Crown Prince."

Prince Pei had changed into a festive scarlet robe. The male lead had broad shoulders and long legs, making him a walking clothes hanger. Strangely enough, she felt that Prince Pei exuded a flamboyant charm that he had never had before.

It was probably because he was wearing red, or something that was different from usual.

“Then my cousin and I are a perfect match.” Pei Dongzhou said, stepping forward and taking Shen Shuyi’s hand. “Let’s go out.”

Shen Shuyi looked at her hand, which was being held by Prince Pei, and wondered what this was all about.

Was he acting too convincingly?
Is it really okay for them to hold hands like this, big and small, so freely?

As if sensing her gaze, Prince Pei looked at their clasped hands and said, "My cousin's hands are very soft."

Shen Shuyi: ...

She suddenly didn't know what to say.

A-Jian stood there dumbfounded. Although, the young master and the young lady were truly a perfect match. The sight of them holding hands was particularly pleasing to the eye. If only they were really getting married, the young master would surely spoil the young lady rotten.

Shen Shuyi had no idea that A-Jian had already become a fan of her and Pei Shizi's pairing. She looked at A-Jian with pleading eyes, but A-Jian was staring at her and Pei Shizi with a lovesick expression.

She sneered inwardly. Ah Jian, that spineless brat. Prince Pei had only changed into a red dress, and this wretched girl had already fallen for his good looks.

Ah Jian's resistance was shockingly weak.

Just as she was inwardly complaining, she was led into the hall by Prince Pei.

While A-Jian was helping her with her makeup, the hall had already been transformed into a wedding hall. Not only were there "double happiness" characters pasted everywhere, but red silk was also hung, red candles were lit, and lanterns and decorations were displayed, making it look very festive and lively.

Although she was mentally prepared, she was still taken aback.

She suddenly didn't want to play anymore; this thing looked too realistic.

She tried to break free from Pei Shizi's grasp, but Pei Shizi looked at her and asked gently, "But I was too strong and hurt you, cousin?"

Shen Shuyi was an honest person: "No..."

"That's good." After saying that, Prince Pei gripped the handle even tighter.

Just as Shen Shuyi was finding the scene terrifying, Marquis Pingyang suddenly appeared.

Marquis Pingyang seemed startled by the scene. Shen Shuyi, seeing this, felt as if a savior had arrived: "My cousin, the heir apparent, and I were playing house when my uncle came just in time..."

Marquis Pingyang, unsure how to proceed, quickly chimed in, "So this is what's all the commotion about. It's just a game of house. I haven't played these childish games in years. Why don't I join in as a guest tonight?"

He went to great lengths to help his son commit marriage fraud.

"no……"

Before Shen Shuyi could speak, Pei Dongzhou looked at Qingfeng and said, "Let's begin."

Qingfeng knew that this matter could not be overlooked, otherwise the young master's efforts tonight would have been in vain. In addition, with the arrival of the elder Marquis of Pingyang, he announced loudly: "The wedding ceremony of the two newlyweds shall officially begin. Please take your places, young master and young lady."

Pei Dongzhou did as instructed and led Shen Shuyi to stand in the center of the hall.

Shen Shuyi was still in a state of shock, especially seeing the Marquis of Pingyang seated at the head of the table, seemingly not finding this game of make-believe at all ridiculous. Then Qingfeng loudly proclaimed, "First bow to Heaven and Earth!"

Pei Dongzhou did as he was told, pulling Shen Shuyi down to kneel. Only then did Shen Shuyi seem to wake from a daze, struggling to get up: "Wait!!"

Pei Dongzhou looked at her helplessly, his tone reproachful: "Cousin, can you wait until after the wedding ceremony to speak? It would be bad if we missed the auspicious time. I've been working so hard all afternoon to help you with this fake wedding, cousin, can you please stop causing me trouble?"

Shen Shuyi: ...

"Since it's fake, I think a token ceremony is enough; there's no need for a wedding ceremony," Shen Shuyi still tried to make a last-ditch effort.

"My cousin suggested a fake marriage, and I fully cooperated. Everything was ready, but then she said there was no need for a wedding ceremony. Wouldn't all my efforts have been for nothing? I'm angry because my cousin went back on her word like this." Pei Dongzhou said, his smile completely gone.

He was already a person with an extremely strong aura, and suddenly his aura was fully unleashed, putting Shen Shuyi under immense pressure.

Marquis Pingyang is also present; he shouldn't let Prince Pei act recklessly. This must be fake...

And so, in a daze, she was pulled along by Prince Pei and even kowtowed to the Marquis of Pingyang when paying respects to his parents.

She felt a little strange when she saw the Marquis of Pingyang give her an apologetic smile.

Even when the couple bowed to each other and she met Pei Dongzhou's gentle eyes, she was still somewhat dazed.

Marquis Pingyang was a sensible man. Seeing that his son had finally found a wife, he wisely decided to leave.

He walked up to Shen Shuyi, his expression kind and gentle: "It's getting late, I'm going back now. Yi'er, if Dong'er bullies you in the future, just come to your uncle, and your uncle will teach him a lesson for you!"

“My cousin, the young master, is a very good person. Uncle, you are overthinking it.” Shen Shuyi dared not say a bad word about the young master Pei.

Marquis Pingyang beamed from ear to ear: "Dong-ge'er is indeed outstanding. You young people continue with your work, I'll head back now."

He then left the wedding hall as quickly as possible, but he still asked for a cup of wine in the courtyard to celebrate his son's wedding before leaving the East Garden.

Before leaving, he was still thinking, today is Dongge'er's wedding day, but Yijie'er doesn't know that this is a real wedding. Will Dongge'er and Yijie'er still consummate their marriage?
Even after watching the Marquis of Pingyang walk away, Shen Shuyi still dared not relax. She tentatively asked Prince Pei, "Cousin Prince, may I return to Fusang Courtyard now?"

Half of Pei Shizi's face was hidden in the darkness, and somehow, she looked somewhat sinister.

After waiting for a while without receiving an answer from Prince Pei, her heart leaped into her throat: "Cousin Prince?"

Pei Dongzhou revealed a faint smile, which instantly overshadowed his gloomy demeanor: "Of course, I'll take my cousin back to rest."

Qingfeng and Qingyun exchanged a glance, both sharing the same confusion. Apart from the young lady and her servant, everyone present believed it was a fake marriage; they all knew the young master was serious about holding this wedding ceremony.

In other words, tonight is the wedding night of the young master and his cousin, yet the young master actually allowed his cousin to leave?

Both of them found it unbelievable.

According to what they knew, the young master had no reason to give up what he had already obtained, yet the young lady had walked away right under his nose.

Shen Shuyi was a little worried. She felt that the wedding ceremony tonight was a bit strange, especially when Marquis Pingyang also showed up.

When she said she wanted to go back to Fusangin, it actually seemed like she was testing the waters.

As it turned out, she was just being delusional; it was all just a game of pretend. After all, Prince Pei was the male lead, so it was perfectly normal for him to act a little strangely. She had no need to scare herself unnecessarily.
