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

Chapter 175 When lust takes hold, all women are the same.

After returning to Nanyuan, Pei Nanzhou barely slept a wink all night.

Although he was tired in the morning, he couldn't fall asleep. For some reason, he kept imagining his cousin Shen marrying Prince Pei.

He would be absolutely unwilling to call his cousin Shen "sister-in-law" if the day ever came.

As for why she was unwilling, it was probably because her cousin Shen was not worthy of being the Crown Prince's wife.

Just as he was throwing fish food into the fishpond with a disgusted expression, Qingfeng came in and reported: "Young master, Miss Biao has brought over some stewed soup."

Pei Nanzhou laughed upon hearing this, and suddenly perked up: "Let her in."

We should let Prince Pei see that Shen Shuyi is a fickle and promiscuous woman.

But he didn't expect his so-called cousin to be Xia Nianchu. The moment he saw her, his face darkened: "What, it's you?"

Xia Nianchu was stunned: "If it wasn't me, then who was it?"

Pei Nanzhou thought it was Shen Shuyi coming, so he didn't hesitate to have Qingfeng bring her in, but he was wrong.

He was about to send the person away when he suddenly stared at Xia Nianchu, realizing she was a tool he could use: "Cousin Xia, didn't you want to be the Crown Prince's wife? Why are you suddenly trying to curry favor with me?"

Xia Nianchu clearly hadn't expected Pei Nanzhou to be so direct, and she immediately felt embarrassed.

Although she wanted to become the Crown Prince's wife, she couldn't get even a step close to him, let alone see him. Pei Beizhou had also been giving her the cold shoulder lately, so she thought of the usually low-key Pei Er and decided to try her luck.

She only needs to seduce one of the Pei brothers to marry into the Marquis's mansion.

Even if she marries her second cousin, she will still have endless glory in the future.

“If I were my cousin, I wouldn’t settle for second best. If you’re going to do something, do it to be the Crown Prince’s wife. Someone like me is unambitious. How about this, I’ll lend you a hand and help you get Crown Prince Pei. Are you interested?” Pei Nanzhou’s expression was indifferent, as if he were discussing the weather.

Xia Nianchu looked at Pei Nanzhou with surprise and doubt, wondering if she was hard of hearing.
Her second cousin actually wants to help her get the crown prince cousin? Or is her second cousin just toying with her?
Just as she was wondering how to respond, her second cousin said again, "I am sincerely helping you, cousin. Although you are indeed not a good match for my eldest brother, if you have the ability to win over Prince Pei, I would be happy to see it happen. Just give me a definite answer, and I can send Prince Pei into your arms."

Although Xia Nianchu found it incredible, she was very tempted.

She had always been frustrated by the lack of opportunity to get close to her cousin, the Crown Prince, but if her second cousin had helped her, the outcome might have been different.

Without hesitation, she exclaimed, "Is my second cousin really willing to help me?!"

Pei Nanzhou nodded slightly: "It's true, I'm not lying."

Meanwhile, Pei Dongzhou was busy with important matters while recovering from his injuries. Because he was too busy, he didn't have time to visit his good cousin and cultivate their relationship.

His injuries had healed considerably that day, and he was finally less busy. He returned to the Marquis's residence early and was just about to visit his cousin Shen when Qingfeng suddenly arrived: "The Second Young Master requests that the Young Master go to the South Garden."

Pei Dongzhou asked in a calm voice, "Do you know why Nanzhou wants to see me?"

If it's not something important, he might as well go see his cousin. What's a cousin when it comes to brothers?
"This... Young Master must have something to tell the Young Master." Qingfeng certainly didn't dare to say it directly: Young Master wanted to drug the Young Master and give him to Miss Xia.

He had advised the young master not to do anything that would hurt his brother's feelings, but the young master was capable of anything to sabotage the marriage between the young master and Miss Shen.

The young master used to be aloof, but now he has become extreme. He doesn't know why the young master has become like this.

Pei Dongzhou still went to Nanyuan. He entered the tea room and sat down opposite Pei Nanzhou: "What brings you here?"

Pei Nanzhou poured a cup of tea for Pei Shizi: "I'm just curious why you suddenly got engaged to Cousin Shen. There are countless women in the world, why did you choose Cousin Shen..."

Pei Dongzhou didn't suspect Pei Nanzhou. He picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "There aren't that many whys."

By the time he realized his feelings for his cousin were inappropriate, it was too late.

Furthermore, he didn't want to explain his feelings to a third party, even if that person was his own brother, regarding his relationship with his cousin.

“Then let me put it another way. Cousin Xia is gentler and more charming than Cousin Shen. Why does my brother not like Cousin Xia but like Cousin Shen?” Pei Nanzhou asked.

Pei Dongzhou took another sip of tea: "If you just want to ask such meaningless questions, then I'm afraid I can't keep you company."

But after walking only a few steps, he suddenly felt dizzy.

He suddenly turned to look at Pei Nanzhou: "You drugged me?!"

Pei Nanzhou just smiled and said, "Brother said he likes Cousin Shen. I just wanted to see how deep your feelings for Cousin Shen really are. This is just a little test for you. Maybe you will find that people can be replaced, including Cousin Shen. When a man is driven by desire, all women are the same."

At this moment, Xia Nianchu entered shyly, while Pei Nanzhou got up and left.

Pei Dongzhou found himself feeling increasingly dizzy and his body was getting hotter and hotter. How many kinds of drugs did that damned Pei Er give him?
Seeing that Pei Nanzhou had left, Xia Nianchu kept moving closer to Pei Dongzhou.

Just as she was about ten feet away from Prince Pei, he sternly stopped her: "Cousin Xia, if you don't want to die, don't come any closer!"

Xia Nianchu refused to believe it.

Her second cousin told her that the drug he used was very potent, and no man could withstand it. If she could seize this opportunity and consummate her relationship with her cousin, the Crown Prince, wouldn't the position of Crown Prince's wife be hers?

How could she possibly let such a golden opportunity slip by?!

"I can help you, Cousin Crown Prince. You don't need to endure this..."

As soon as Xia Nianchu approached Pei Dongzhou, a palm strike suddenly came towards her, and her body fell heavily to the ground, instantly losing consciousness.

Pei Dongzhou didn't want to use his internal energy, worried that the medicine would take effect too quickly. Sure enough, after using his internal energy, his blood boiled and he felt even hotter.

Coupled with the intense dizziness, it would be difficult for him to walk out of Nanyuan alone.

He dared not delay any longer, and blew a long whistle. Qingzhu, who was near Nanyuan, heard it clearly, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly rushed into Nanyuan.

Qingfeng and Mingyue tried to stop Qingzhu, but Qingzhu was reckless and even they couldn't defeat her together. In the end, they could only watch helplessly as Qingzhu took the young master away.

They both looked at Pei Nanzhou, whose brows furrowed slightly: "I didn't expect that Prince Pei could actually remain chaste for Cousin Shen."

He had administered several kinds of medicine, and the fact that Prince Pei could endure it was something he hadn't expected.

Qingzhu led Pei Dongzhou out of the South Garden: "Young Master, please bear with me for a moment, I will go and fetch the royal physician."

“No need for that. Just send me to Fusang Academy and let my cousin take care of me,” Pei Dongzhou said calmly.
