Chapter 163 Madness! Who's going to stab me in the back?!

As soon as the two, master and servant, stepped out of the East Garden, A-Jian couldn't wait to say, "Young Master and Miss are such a perfect match."

It's a pity it's fake. She was hoping it would be a real marriage, but how could the young master let the young lady return to Fusang Courtyard after a real marriage?
"They're not a good match at all, don't you dare ship them together." Shen Shuyi saw right through A-Jian's little scheme.

A-Jian glanced back at the direction of the East Garden and whispered, "But don't you think the young master is particularly good? It seems that he agrees to any request you make."

Over the years, the young lady has been an outsider in the Marquis's mansion. Apart from the old lady, no one has treated her so well.

"You found out again?" Shen Shuyi asked, puzzled.

"Of course, Qingfeng told me. He said that the young lady wanted to have a fake marriage with the young master, which is why the young master specially arranged this wedding ceremony. If they put so much effort into a fake marriage, if this were a real marriage... the young lady's wedding would definitely be very grand. At that time, the Marquis's mansion would see clearly how capable the young lady is to become the young master's wife..."

After A-Jian finished speaking, he realized that the girl had already disappeared.

Shen Shuyi didn't want to disturb A-Jian's dream; she just wanted to return to Fusang Courtyard as soon as possible and change out of the phoenix coronet and wedding robes she was wearing.

If someone were to see her walking around the Marquis's residence dressed like this, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.

Inside the East Garden, Pei Dongzhou ordered Qingfeng and the others to tidy up the hall before going to take a bath.

When he came out of the bath, he heard Qingfeng say, "What a pity. Tonight is supposed to be the young master and his cousin's wedding night, but the cousin is so clueless."

Qingzhu scoffed at this, saying, "This is just a fake marriage. What nonsense are you spouting? If Miss Biao really stays, that will be troublesome. Then the young master will really have to take responsibility for her."

"You're so naive, you can't see that the young master is really marrying the young lady. Right now, the young lady thinks it's a fake marriage, but the young master is taking it seriously. It's a pity, the young lady doesn't seem willing to take responsibility for the young master." Qingfeng thought Qingzhu was completely clueless.

Qingyun also said, "I also think that Miss doesn't want to be with the young master. It's the young master who is scheming to get Miss. It's just that he's too slow. They're already married. Why is the young master letting go of Miss who's right in front of him? This is their wedding night. If they don't spend the night together, there will be even less reason for them to spend the night together in the future."

Qingzhu was stunned by these words.

He was about to retort to the two when the young master suddenly walked into the hall: "Which of you will stab me in the back?"

Qingyun: ? ? ?
Qingzhu: ...

Qingfeng: !!!
Qingzhu was the first to come to her senses: "What does the young master want to do?"

Why would they stab the young master for no reason?

"Didn't you say that tonight is my wedding night and it's not appropriate for me to stay out alone?" Pei Dongzhou thought Qingzhu had asked a stupid question.

Qingzhu and Qingfeng both looked at Qingyun. These words were spoken by Qingyun, so even if someone were to stab the young master in the back, it should be Qingyun who does it.

Qingyun truly hadn't expected his words to drive the young master to such a frenzy. He was on the verge of tears: "I was just saying it casually, young master, please don't take it seriously."

"Aren't you coming?" Pei Dongzhou thought to himself, his cousin is raised in seclusion, she probably can't tell whether he stabbed himself or someone else stabbed him, so he might as well do it himself.

Before Sanqing could react, he saw the young master raise his knife and stab himself in the shoulder. The swiftness of the cut was as if he were a mannequin, incapable of feeling pain.

The three were dumbfounded, realizing that the young master had really gone to great lengths to ensure that he wouldn't be alone on his wedding night.

That's why they say the young master is a man destined for great things.

If Qingzhu had previously refused to believe this fact, he now had to admit that the wedding ceremony between the young master and his cousin was indeed not a joke, but a reality. The young master knew that his wife would not agree to let him marry his cousin, so he simply invited the Marquis to witness the ceremony. He did not invite the old lady, probably because he was afraid that his cousin would see through the pretense of a marriage.

With the young master's painstaking efforts, how could it not be a real marriage?
He's blinded by his own narrow perspective and unwilling to acknowledge the truth.

Inside the Fusang Courtyard, Shen Shuyi lay on the bed after taking a bath, still feeling a sense of fantasy as she recalled the fake wedding ceremony.

I don't want to think about it anymore; it's all in the past anyway.

She told A-Jian to leave, as she wanted to rest early.

She lay in bed for a long time without falling asleep, when suddenly heavy footsteps sounded.

Because the lights were off, she couldn't see who it was, but the footsteps sounded familiar.

Could it be that Prince Pei has arrived?
She quickly got out of bed and lit the lamp again, and was shocked when she saw that Pei Shizi's undergarment was soaked in blood.

"What's wrong with my cousin, the Crown Prince?"

Pei Dongzhou sat weakly on the edge of the bed: "An assassin broke in, probably my enemy has come looking for me. Qingfeng and the others went to hunt down the assassin, and I didn't want my mother to worry, so I had no choice but to come to my cousin for help to treat my wounds."

Shen Shuyi, being a modern person, certainly didn't find it strange that a man was sitting on her bed, especially since he was seriously injured and had lost so much blood; she couldn't just stand by and watch him die.

Although she had never treated a wound before, Sun Wang had given her a good wound medicine, which she immediately took out without hesitation.

When she finally found the wound medicine, she suddenly remembered that this was where she hid all sorts of rare medicines. Wouldn't that have given Prince Pei a clear view of her?

She turned around and saw that Prince Pei's eyes were slightly closed and his dark hair was messy. She wondered if it was the dim light of the night that caused the visual illusion, which made Prince Pei look fragile and delicate.

She shook her head, dismissing the strange thought, and stepped forward to help Prince Pei take off his clothes: "It might hurt a little, please bear with it, Prince."

"Thank you for your trouble, cousin." Pei Dongzhou gave a weak smile.

"Does it hurt a lot?" Shen Shuyi felt a little sorry for Pei Shizi when she saw the sweat on his forehead.

Pei Dongzhou patted her head and said, "It doesn't hurt, cousin. Don't worry, I won't die anytime soon."

Shen Shuyi looked at the sweat beading on his forehead and thought to herself that the male lead was quite strong-willed. Was it so hard for him to admit that he was in pain in front of her?
Remembering that she needed to disinfect first, she went to the next room and found a jar of aged wine. She said to Prince Pei, "It will be done in a moment. I will disinfect with the wine first, and then apply the wound medicine."

She carefully cut open the clothes covering Pei Shizi's wound, and when she saw the deep, bone-revealing wound, she gasped and turned pale with fright.

"Cousin, don't look anymore. I'll take care of the wound myself." Pei Dongzhou couldn't bear to see the little girl like this.

He belatedly realized that tonight was their wedding night, but there was blood involved. Wasn't that unlucky?

He would never have thought about such things before, but now he has some reservations.

Shen Shuyi shook her head and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll handle it! Don't be afraid, Cousin Prince, you'll get better soon. I'll be quick."
