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

Chapter 223 I can be a concubine, but I'm convinced that my elder brother can be the legal wife.
"You're such a sweet talker." The old lady took a liking to Shen Shuyi the moment she saw her, and the girl's eloquence made her very happy.

Seeing Pei Dongzhou's gaze fall on her, Shen Shuyi clung to the old lady's arm and said coquettishly, "I haven't seen my maternal grandmother for a long time, and I want to sleep with her recently..."

Before she could even speak, Pei Dongzhou interrupted, saying, "Grandmother, my cousin has had a long journey, and I'd like to take her back to rest as soon as possible."

His words immediately silenced the bustling hall.

As everyone knows, Pei Dongzhou moved into Fusang Courtyard after Shen Shuyi left the Marquis's residence.

But now that Miss Shen has returned, it seems that Prince Pei intends to live together before marriage?
Not only did the other people in the Hou family think Pei Dongzhou's actions were outrageous, but Shen Shuyi herself also felt that he was going against the Heavenly Gang.

Is this something an ancient man would do? That's cohabitation before marriage! Even a modern woman wouldn't be that open-minded, right?
"I want to stay with my grandmother." Shen Shuyi held the old lady's hand, looking at her expectantly, hoping that the old lady could help her get justice.

To everyone's surprise, Pei Dongzhou directly laid a hand on her: "Grandmother is getting old, and there should be a limit to how much you can be willful, cousin."

Shen Shuyi wondered to herself where she had been willful. It was clearly him, the male lead, who was arrogant and self-centered, and very likely forced his love on her.

She didn't want to go with Pei Dongzhou. She was still an unmarried young woman. How could she have sex with the male lead before marriage?
She looked at the old lady pleadingly, but the old lady said to Pei Dongzhou, "Dong-ge'er, you should talk to Yi-jie'er properly, don't bully her. After all, you are engaged, and you are not yet married..."

Even Shen Shuyi herself couldn't stand it anymore, and the expressions of those around her were also very strange.

Pei Dongzhou, however, remained gentle and refined: "Grandmother is right, I know what I'm doing."

"Grandmother..." Shen Shuyi was still struggling in her death throes, but Pei Dongzhou dragged her out.

Shen Shuyi passively followed behind Pei Dongzhou, looking at the others, but none of them stood up to help her.

Just then, Pei Nanzhou raised his voice, "Isn't this inappropriate, brother? My cousin isn't married to you yet. What do you intend to do to her?"

For the first time, Shen Shuyi found Pei Nanzhou somewhat pleasing to the eye, and nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, that's right."

It's not good to consummate the marriage before marriage.

"This is a private matter between my cousin and me, and it has nothing to do with outsiders," Pei Dongzhou said, picking Shen Shuyi up in his arms in front of everyone.

Everyone fell silent upon seeing this.

Now no one dares to say that Shen Shuyi seduced Prince Pei. Anyone with eyes can see that it was clearly Prince Pei who forcibly took Miss Shen.

Shen Shuyi wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Once outside the hall, she quickly said, "Cousin, I can walk by myself. Please put me down."

She's really not used to being carried in a princess carry, and she's quite heavy, so why does he have to carry her like that?

Pei Dongzhou didn't say a word and simply carried her to Fusangyuan.

Pei Xizhou followed without realizing it, and he didn't know what to feel until Pei Dongzhou carried Shen Shuyi into the Fusang Courtyard.

Sometimes he felt quite convinced of losing to his older brother, after all, Pei Da was superior to him in every aspect. For example, in the matter of finding his cousin, Pei Dongzhou was much better than him.

He and his second brother were clearly in Hezhou at the time, yet they were unaware that their cousin was in the prefectural government office in Hezhou. "Are you willing to let your eldest brother have your cousin all to yourself?" Pei Nanzhou's voice rang out like a ghost.

Pei Xizhou looked at Pei Nanzhou, somewhat taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"

“You and I both know that our eldest brother is a formidable figure, and we are no match for him. So, could we settle for second best and let him share some of the spoils with us? We're brothers after all…”

Pei Xizhou looked at Pei Nanzhou in disbelief: "Second brother, are you crazy?!"

How could Pei Er have such a terrible idea?

He had only ever heard of polygamy, but never of a woman marrying two husbands, let alone three.
"I'd like to give it a try anyway," Pei Nanzhou said calmly.

Pei Xizhou had regained his composure by this time and said coldly, "Second brother, you shouldn't have such terrible thoughts. I still have a chance. After all, my cousin doesn't dislike me, but it's different for you, second brother. The vicious things you said to my cousin before are suffocating to hear, let alone to my cousin herself?"

Pei Nanzhou ignored Pei Xizhou and followed him into the Fusang Courtyard.

Shen Shuyi was carried into the bedroom by Pei Dongzhou. Just as she was feeling scared, she suddenly heard A-Jian's voice: "Second Young Master, you cannot trespass into the young lady's bedroom."

"Why can my brother do it, but I can't?" Pei Nanzhou pushed aside A-Jian, who was blocking his way, and barged into Shen Shuyi's bedroom.

Shen Shuyi turned around at the sound, and Pei Dongzhou also looked over. Pei Nanzhou sat down calmly on the edge of Shen Shuyi's bed: "Cousin, I have a suggestion, would you like to hear it?"

Upon hearing the sound, Shen Shuyi looked at Pei Dongzhou, who pursed his thin lips and glared at her.

She felt completely bewildered, not understanding why Prince Pei was glaring at her, since it wasn't her who had let Pei Nanzhou in.

"I won't listen!" Shen Shuyi had a feeling that Pei Er wouldn't say anything nice, so she directly rejected Pei Nanzhou's suggestion.

"I think my cousin should consider my suggestion. She's been captured by my brother this time, and there's no way she can escape. Rather than staying with that man who doesn't know how to treat a woman with respect, she might as well consider me. If she really can't bear to part with my brother's face, I can settle for second best and share her with him..."

Shen Shuyi was startled when she heard this and immediately hid behind Pei Dongzhou, poking his waist hard to signal him to control the crazy Pei Er.

Pei Dongzhou's eyes darkened slightly as he grabbed her hand: "Don't move."

Shen Shuyi felt that Pei Dongzhou might not necessarily like her, otherwise, why would Pei Dongzhou only care about telling her not to move when Pei Nanzhou said such a rebellious thing?

She felt it was better to rely on herself than on others, and roared at Pei Nanzhou, "You wish! I don't have such a strange fetish. If you need a woman, go find another woman. I'm not going to!"

This is insane! How can there be such a perverted person?

She was already hesitant to marry Pei Dongzhou; if she were to be with two men at the same time, it would be better to just take her life.

After yelling, she quickly hid behind Pei Dongzhou: "You need to control my second cousin, he's crazy."

Pei Dongzhou, with his usual gentle demeanor, said, "Nanzhou, I still suggest you see a doctor. Don't impose your strange ideas on your cousin. You're not normal, but your cousin is."

Pei Nanzhou, however, disagreed: "I'm just making a small suggestion. Anyway, I'll never let my cousin go in this lifetime, and she can't get rid of me. Why don't you just accept me? By the way, I can be your concubine, and I'd be happy if you were my wife."
