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

Chapter 173 The Crown Prince's Cousin Climbs into Her Bed

Shen Shuyi was ticklish and almost laughed out loud.

She forced herself to hold back and looked at Prince Pei, asking, "Do I look that much like a man?"

Why did she feel that Prince Pei was trying to seduce her?
Of course, it's highly likely that she's just being delusional. How could Prince Pei possibly seduce a woman?
“No, Qingzhu is ugly, my cousin is beautiful.” Pei Dongzhou replied gently, reluctantly withdrawing his hand from his cousin’s waist. “Let’s go, I’ll take my cousin back to Fusang Courtyard.”

Shen Shuyi glanced back at Jufutang: "Did Auntie make things difficult for Cousin Shizi just now?"

"If my mother makes things difficult for me, will my cousin stand up for me?" Pei Dongzhou stared intently at Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi felt that there was something in Pei Shizi's eyes that she couldn't understand. She thought to herself, "The male lead and his mother are arguing. How dare I, the vicious female supporting character, stand up for him?"
She gave a dry laugh and said, "If my aunt is scolding my cousin, it's for his own good, so I won't get involved."

"My cousin is so heartless." Pei Dongzhou had expected this answer from his cousin, so he wasn't too disappointed.

He didn't say anything more after that. Shen Shuyi thought the male lead was angry, so when Pei Dongzhou entered the Fusang Courtyard and refused to leave, she didn't feel comfortable asking him to leave.

This wouldn't have been a problem, but what surprised her was that Prince Pei went straight to her bedroom.

She sensed something was wrong and quickly followed, only to see Prince Pei lying on his bed, looking as if it were his bed.

For a moment, she didn't know how to control her expression.

Just as she realized what was happening and was about to shoo him away, Prince Pei looked at her and said, "I'm sleepy. I'll rest here for a while. Cousin, you can go now."

Shen Shuyi: ? ? ?

This is clearly her bedroom. How could Prince Pei have the audacity to use such a host-like tone to order her to leave?

Oh well, let him sleep if he wants. After all, he's helped her so many times.

But she still couldn't help but remind him, "This is my bed. Isn't it inappropriate for my cousin, the young master, to sleep here?"

Although she is a modern person and not so conservative, how could he, an ancient feudal man, just casually go to a girl's bed?

"What's wrong with that? Aren't my cousin and I married? Besides, I've helped my cousin before, and she won't even let me lie down for a bit?"

Prince Pei refuted him eloquently.

Shen Shuyi was speechless. Just as she was running out of words, she heard Pei Shizi mutter softly, "It's not like we haven't slept together before."

Shen Shuyi: ...

"Or does my cousin want to sleep with me?" Seeing Shen Shuyi standing there staring at him, Pei Dongzhou simply made some space on the bed.

Shen Shuyi blushed: "Who wanted that?"

After criticizing her, he quickly rushed out of the dormitory.

Pei Shizi's low, cheerful laughter could still be heard from inside the bedroom, which made Shen Shuyi feel somewhat annoyed.

She is clearly a modern and open-minded woman, so how could she be flirted with by a rigid man and not even be able to handle him?
Was that Prince Pei flirting with her just now?

Seeing her young lady patting her face repeatedly, A-Jian leaned forward and asked, "What's wrong, young lady?"

Shen Shuyi blinked and turned to look at A-Jian: "Nothing."

"Your face is very red, are you sure you're alright?" A-Jian looked her over suspiciously. Shen Shuyi immediately became angry and embarrassed: "Of course I'm alright! Which eye of yours saw that I'm alright?"

A-Jian was puzzled. She had only asked the girl a question, so why did the girl look so guilty?

The young lady just came out of her bedroom. Could it be that she was hiding a man in her room?
Thinking of this, she decided to go to the girl's bedroom to find out what was going on.

Shen Shuyi saw A Jian suddenly rushing into her bedroom, and she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"Has the young lady done something wrong?" A-Jian asked loudly.

Shen Shuyi protested, "I didn't..."

She really didn't. It was that Prince Pei who ran to her bed on his own. What could she do? Was she supposed to go up and pull Prince Pei off her bed?
Taking advantage of the moment, A-Jian rushed into Shen Shuyi's bedroom. When she saw that there was indeed a man on the girl's bed, she exclaimed, "There's a man in the girl's bed!"

At this moment, the man on the bed looked at her. When she saw the young master's ambiguous smile, her mouth gaped open. After a long while, she managed to squeeze out, "This servant will not disturb the young master's rest. This servant will take her leave."

Shen Shuyi, who had followed, saw A-Jian's cowardly appearance and curled her lips in a sarcastic smile: "Weren't you quite loud just now?"

Seeing Prince Pei lying on her bed, she didn't dare utter a single word.
"Young Master has helped you so much, it seems alright for you to sleep in your bed for a while," A-Jian replied against her conscience.

That's the young lady's bed! How can the young master sleep in the young lady's bed? If someone sees this, how will he explain it?
Although the young lady and the young master had gone through a wedding ceremony, it was all fake. The young master couldn't possibly sleep with the young lady, could he?

Thinking of this, she pulled the girl into the courtyard and whispered, "When you climbed into the young master's bed before, I was worried sick. But now that it's the young master's turn to climb into your bed, I'm even more worried. Why don't you go and chase the young master away before anyone notices?"

Shen Shuyi forced a smile and said, "Why don't you go and chase them away? Now is the time for you to protect me, your master. Why do you expect me to go and chase them away myself?"

It wasn't that she hadn't tried to run away before; Pei Shizi's words that he had helped her made her feel insecure, and when he added that she wanted to sleep with him, she was so ashamed that she fled in panic.

Damn it, she's clearly a modern person, it's really unpleasant to be teased by an ancient feudal man!
After being rebuked by Shen Shuyi, A-Jian felt that the girl's words made sense: "Why don't I give it a try?"

Shen Shuyi's eyes lit up, realizing that A-Jian was indeed a loyal girl. Curious, she followed her over, only to see A-Jian dawdle to the bedroom door. Before she could even speak, Prince Pei had already spoken first: "Don't disturb my sleep, step back."

The next moment, A-Jian left the bedroom and turned around to meet the girl's mocking gaze.

A-Jian felt ashamed to continue advising the girl, so she simply shut her mouth.

But to Shen Shuyi and her servant's surprise, Prince Pei seemed to have no intention of leaving after having dinner.

This made Shen Shuyi anxious: "It's late, Cousin Prince, aren't you going back to rest?"

"I'm going back," Pei Dongzhou said, getting up.

Shen Shuyi felt a slight sense of relief, thinking that she could finally get rid of this big shot.

Suddenly, Qingyun rushed in and said, "Young Master, something terrible has happened! The East Garden is on fire!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Dongzhou immediately followed Qingyun outside, and Shen Shuyi, curious, also followed.

As soon as they reached the East Garden, they saw thick smoke billowing from inside, making it impossible to see the specific situation clearly.

Qingyun quickly stopped them: "The situation inside is unclear and very dangerous. Young Master and Miss, please don't go in. You should go somewhere else to hide first, and come back when things are safe here. Young Master has to go on duty tomorrow, so please stay in another courtyard tonight."
