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

Chapter 195 System offline, decision to leave
"Third cousin, you should go back first." Shen Shuyi was in a state of turmoil and looked at A-Jian, saying, "A-Jian, see the guest out!"

A-Jian noticed that the young lady was in a bad mood, so she stepped forward and said to Pei Xizhou, "Third Young Master, please!"

Pei Xizhou rarely saw Shen Shuyi like this, so he didn't linger any longer. He added one last thing: "Big brother's scheming is far more profound than cousin imagines. Cousin, you might as well think about it carefully and you'll know I'm not lying."

After saying that, he left the hall.

But Pei Nanzhou hadn't left yet. Seeing him come out, Pei Nanzhou asked, "What did you and your cousin talk about?"

"Second brother, stop bothering your cousin. She doesn't like you." Pei Xizhou couldn't stand Pei Nanzhou's behavior.

My second brother said so many vicious things to my cousin before, and now he's bothering me again. Who gave him the nerve?
Pei Nanzhou remained defiant, as if he hadn't heard Pei Xizhou's words, and stood there without any intention of leaving.

Seeing this, Pei Xizhou felt that he couldn't leave either, otherwise his cousin would be left alone, and who knew what Pei Nanzhou might do to her.

With that in mind, he decided to stay for the time being.

Shen Shuyi hid in her dormitory. The fighting outside continued, but she felt tormented.

She tried to summon the system, and this time the system actually appeared.

She quickly asked, "What stage am I at in my strategy mission?"

But give her a straight answer.

[Hasn't the host already won over all the male leads?]

Shen Shuyi: ? ? ?

[The host has removed the female lead's protagonist aura and completed all the conquests. Hooray!!]

Shen Shuyi was both surprised and delighted: "Really?! So I've changed my fate of dying young as cannon fodder? I can go wherever I want?"

Does this mean she is now free and no longer confined to the Marquis's mansion?
[Of course, the host is now free!]

Shen Shuyi was so excited that tears streamed down her face. She had actually completed all the strategies in such a short time, something she never dared to imagine before.

Wait a minute, the system used to know nothing when I asked it, so why is it telling me so much today?

Sure enough, the next moment she heard the system notification: [This is my last time logging in. From now on, the host is free to do whatever she wants.]

"You'll disappear in the future?" Shen Shuyi suddenly felt a little lost.

Although the tasks assigned by this system were somewhat perverse and it was something she knew nothing about, at least it helped her change her fate of dying young, and she was still very grateful.

Don't think about me, it's pointless. I'm logging off, goodbye, host!

Goodbye, I'll think of you when I have time.

【…】

Then came the sound of the system running out of power.

Shen Shuyi tried to summon the system again, but the system did not log back in.

The system says it will never be online again.

She couldn't help but feel a little sad. It turned out that even when facing a system, it was easy to develop feelings, let alone a person?
I had planned to leave the Marquis's mansion once I finished the strategy guide, but now...

Especially when she thought of the old lady, she felt an overwhelming sense of reluctance. The old lady had been so happy when she learned that she was going to marry into the Marquis's family. How heartbroken and sad would the old lady be if she left without saying goodbye?

But she knew that when it came to people, some things had to be let go.

In fact, she believed Pei Xizhou's words, because with just a little thought, she knew that Pei Xizhou was not lying, and that Li Yi's appearance was not a coincidence, but rather something that the young master Pei had done on purpose.

She claimed that the presumption of kinship was to help her, but in reality, it was Prince Pei who was scheming against her all along.

Was he going to all this trouble just to marry her?
She didn't dare to think too deeply about it, but she also didn't want to actually marry the male lead. Even if Prince Pei said it was a fake marriage, she knew that all marriages were real, and it wouldn't be easy to get a divorce once they were married. His Majesty would also be there to witness the ceremony.

Fortunately, this wasn't a marriage ordained by His Majesty, so she still had a chance to leave.

She didn't need to hesitate for long before she made her decision: she had to leave the Marquis's residence.

It's just that bringing A-Jian and Mama Dai along would be too conspicuous. Mama Dai is old, and it wouldn't be good for her to travel around with her. It would be better for her to stay in the Marquis's mansion.

It would be best to leave with only A-Jian.

She quickly wrote a letter to the old lady and decided to take advantage of the situation before anyone had time to prepare.

She may not have much else, but she has a bunch of sleeping pills on hand, making it perfect to drug these people outside when they're not prepared.

After writing the letter to the old lady, she called A-Jian and Aunt Dai in and gave them some instructions.

Seeing that Dai's mother's eyes were red, she knew that she couldn't bear to part with her.

"I've lived in the Marquis's mansion since I can remember, and I've never left the capital before. I just want to go out and see the world. Mother, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself while I'm away. Please give this letter to my maternal grandmother and tell her not to worry. I'll be back after traveling for a while. As for my cousin, the Heir Apparent..."

Shen Shuyi was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

After a long pause, she said, "Just say that I am not good enough for him and that he should find someone else."

A-Jian opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately kept quiet.

She thought the young master was very good. Perhaps the young lady would never meet someone better than the young master in the future, but in any case, it was the young lady's decision, and it was always right to follow the young lady's wishes.

In any case, she followed the girl's arrangements in everything.

After Shen Shuyi and Ajian took the antidote, they asked Mama Dai to invite everyone outside into the hall, including Qingfeng, Qingzhu, and the others who were still fighting fiercely.

Pei Nanzhou was surprised that Shen Shuyi had invited him in as well. Given how much his cousin disliked him, there was no reason for her to invite him in.

Despite his doubts, he followed them into the hall.

He stood there for only a moment when the familiar dizziness washed over him, and he knew something was wrong. The same dizziness had kept him unconscious for a long time before.

"What does my cousin want to do?!" Pei Nanzhou shouted sternly.

Others also felt dizzy, including Pei Xizhou.

He was bewildered and didn't know what had happened: "Why am I so dizzy?"

He had barely uttered those words when he fell forward.

Just then, Shen Shuyi appeared in time and managed to catch him.

Pei Xizhou wanted to say something, but he lost consciousness in an instant.

Just then, Pei Nanzhou suddenly grabbed Shen Shuyi's hand.

Shen Shuyi had A-Jian help Pei Xizhou sit down to the side, and only then did she have a chance to look at Pei Nanzhou.

Pei Nanzhou managed to stay upright despite his strong willpower, but he couldn't hold on any longer. He tried to say something, but ultimately succumbed to the powerful effects of the drug and collapsed to the ground.

Even so, he still held Shen Shuyi's wrist tightly, pulling her forward a step before she could regain her balance.

She called over A-Jian to help pry Pei Nanzhou's hands open so she could take the packed package. Finally, she dug out a hole in the yard and took all the treasures hidden inside.

With tears in her eyes, Madam Dai saw Shen Shuyi off to the courtyard: "Will the young lady really come back?"

Why did she feel that the girl would never return once she left?
