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

Chapter 208 As soon as she stepped outside, she ran into a bunch of acquaintances.

Qingfeng dared not speculate further and respectfully replied, "What the young master says is true. One day the young master will be able to find Miss Biao."

If he really can't find one, the young master will be a bachelor for life. It would be better to find one sooner rather than later.

"It's getting late, you should go and rest. I don't need anyone to serve me." Pei Dongzhou waved his hand, signaling Qingfeng to leave.

Before leaving, Qingfeng couldn't help but advise, "Young Master, you should get some rest too. We still need to find Miss Biao's whereabouts. You've been sleeping poorly all the time; be careful not to ruin your health."

Pei Dongzhou knew that Qingfeng's words made sense, but he still couldn't sleep at night because of his cousin, that heartless woman.

He felt as if he had missed something, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, just as Shen Shuyi was about to wish Sun Wang a Happy New Year, Sun Wang told her some good news: the human skin mask was ready and asked her to try it on.

Receiving such good news on the first day of the new year surprised and delighted Shen Shuyi. She took the thin, gossamer-like human skin mask and carefully put it on.

A-Jian watched from the sidelines, exclaiming in surprise, "How amazing! The girl's face has completely transformed into that of a different person. If I didn't know it was her, I wouldn't have recognized her at all."

"Really?" Shen Shuyi was not very confident.

She ran to look in the mirror and found that the woman in the mirror had indeed become ordinary, but the human skin mask looked very real and didn't look like she was wearing a human skin mask at all.

She admired Sun Wang's skill from the bottom of her heart. He could make such a magical thing. Even with modern high technology, it is impossible to make such a realistic human skin mask.

For a moment, she felt a little eager to go out for a walk.

Sun Wang stopped her, saying, "Walk a few steps so I can see."

Shen Shuyi was taken aback, not understanding why, but she still paced back and forth in front of Sun Wang.

This time, not only Sun Wang noticed it, but even A Jian saw the problem: "Judging from the way you walk, if someone like me knew you well, I would recognize you at a glance."

Shen Shuyi understood. She needed to change her walking posture and even some of her usual habits to make it seamless.

Under the supervision of A-Jian and Sun Wang, she immediately corrected her previous walking posture.

After a few days, the results became apparent.

That day, she planned to leave the Ni Chang Pavilion and go for a stroll outside. However, just to be on the safe side, she also put on makeup for her eyes.

When she walked up to A-Jian, A-Jian gave her a thumbs up: "This servant can no longer recognize you, Miss."

If even someone as familiar as her couldn't recognize the girl, then naturally no one else would either.

Having received A-Jian's approval, Shen Shuyi was eager to leave Ni Chang Pavilion and stroll around the streets.

This time, A-Jian didn't dare to stay by Shen Shuyi's side. Sun Wang was worried and planned to follow Shen Shuyi from a distance to protect her.

Coincidentally, the women of the Pingyang Marquis's residence were on their way to the Ni Chang Pavilion when they bumped into Shen Shuyi as she was leaving.

It would be a lie to say that Shen Shuyi wasn't nervous. Even though they were all women she didn't get along with, seeing these people, especially the female lead, made her heart pound as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

Pei Xuexuan, who usually looked down on everyone, wouldn't even glance at someone as ordinary as Shen Shuyi. Xia Nianchu, however, did look at Shen Shuyi. Shen Shuyi's eyes met Xia Nianchu's, and in that tense moment, she saw Xia Nianchu give her a disdainful look: "Didn't you say that the clothes at Ni Chang Pavilion are all the latest styles? How come just anyone can come and go here?"

It was only after Xia Nianchu reminded them that everyone noticed Shen Shuyi, who was dressed plainly.

This woman's clothes were ordinary, which was one thing, but what was most important was that she looked extremely ordinary—the kind of ordinary person you'd easily miss in a crowd. Yet, judging from her attire, she didn't seem to be a maid or servant. If that was the case, how could someone like her frequent the Rainbow Robe Pavilion?

The moment Xia Nianchu spoke, Shen Shuyi stopped.

Everything Sun Wang makes is good. It's amazing how so many people living under the same roof as her didn't recognize her. Sun Wang is simply a miracle.

She suppressed her inner joy and walked past the ladies of the Marquis's mansion without glancing at them.

She's finally made it big! Now she can finally walk freely and openly on the street without fear of running into acquaintances.

She'd been cooped up indoors for a while, and once outside, she felt a strange sense of wonder, finding everything magical. Perhaps it was a case of excessive joy turning to sorrow, but as she was haggling with the shopkeeper in a toy store, she suddenly heard Pei Xizhou's voice: "I think I heard my cousin's voice..."

Shen Shuyi was stunned when she heard this.

She instinctively shut her mouth and didn't dare to move. She had really gotten too carried away; she was actually haggling with people so loudly, and she even attracted the attention of acquaintances.

Azhu was Pei Xizhou's maid. Upon hearing Pei Xizhou's words, she looked around but did not see the cousin the young master had mentioned.

She thought that the young master missed his cousin too much, which was why he had such a misconception.

"Why is Miss Biao here? Young Master is probably hallucinating." Azhu was afraid that something was wrong with the young master's health.

Pei Xizhou replied, "I heard it clearly just now, it's in this area. Even if my cousin is in the capital, it's perfectly normal. Could you help me look for her in this area?"

He was sure he hadn't misheard; it was definitely his cousin's voice. It was so familiar. No one else's voice was as vibrant as his cousin's, and even when they were arguing, it was still very distinctive.

Seeing that the young master seemed to be possessed, Azhu dared not object and could only start searching around the area.

Soon, Azhu found the toy shop and saw Shen Shuyi with her back to her.

She glanced at it curiously; it was a young woman, whose figure somewhat resembled that of her cousin…

At this moment, Shen Shuyi turned around and looked at Azhu, their eyes meeting. Azhu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed; although her figure resembled that of the cousin, she was clearly not her.

At this moment, Pei Xizhou also entered the toy shop. He glanced at Shen Shuyi and then looked away, walking past her to the shopkeeper and asking, "Shopkeeper, have you seen a young and beautiful girl? She has big eyes, fair skin, loves to laugh, speaks very energetically, and has a loud voice..."

Shen Shuyi, who has a very loud voice: ...

The shopkeeper watched Shen Shuyi's retreating figure and thought to himself, "Wasn't the girl who almost got into an argument with me just now very loud? Her voice almost drowned out his, and she looked like she was going to overturn my shop."

But this girl wasn't pretty at all; she was quite ordinary-looking, but she was incredibly good at bargaining.

Shen Shuyi dared not linger. She quickly left the shop and ran away in a hurry.

She was incredibly lucky; she ran into a bunch of acquaintances on her first outing, thankfully she had made thorough preparations.
