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

Chapter 228 If my cousin dares to run again, I'll break her legs!
Shen Shuyi had been waiting for good news from the Zhang family. She felt that as long as Xia Nianchu and Pei Nanzhou's marriage was settled, and with Xia Nianchu's protagonist aura, Shen Shuyi might be able to make Pei Nanzhou fall completely in love with her.

But no good news came for a long time, so she asked A-Jian to inquire, only to find out that there was no such happy event.

A-Jian also spent a lot of money to find out that Xia Nianchu had personally admitted to drugging Pei Nanzhou, so the matter was dropped.

"Cousin Xia claims she drugged my second cousin?!" Shen Shuyi exclaimed in disbelief.

It was clearly her who drugged Pei Nanzhou, but the female lead claims it was her who drugged Pei Nanzhou. Does this mean that Pei Nanzhou threatened Xia Nianchu behind the scenes?
The thought of this possibility weighed on her heart.

If what she suspected was true, why didn't Pei Nanzhou come over to question her? Could he be secretly plotting something?
For a moment, she couldn't sit still and decided to go find Xia Nianchu to ask what exactly happened.

When she left Fusang Temple, she was worried that Pei Nanzhou would suddenly appear as before, but thankfully, Pei Nanzhou was not nearby.

Soon she saw Xia Nianchu, whose face was gloomy. As soon as Xia Nianchu saw her, she lashed out: "Cousin Shen, you still have the nerve to come looking for me?!"

Shen Shuyi came to find answers, not to argue with the female lead. She was just curious about what Pei Nanzhou had done to make the female lead let go of Pei Er, whom she had almost gotten her hands on.

"Wasn't our plan going smoothly? I don't understand why my cousin messed things up." Shen Shuyi got straight to the point.

Xia Nianchu sneered upon hearing this: "Cousin Shen, you knew all along that Second Cousin was crazy, didn't you? Do you know that Second Cousin almost burned me to death? I have no right to be with a madman like Second Cousin!"

At this point, she suddenly said with schadenfreude, "So, it's better to leave a talented young man like Second Cousin to Cousin Shen."

Shen Shuyi: ...

Xia Nianchu is clearly the female lead, and Pei Nanzhou should be the one to harm her. Why is he harming her instead?

She's the one everyone hates.

She still tried to make a last-ditch effort, advising the female lead, "I think my second cousin is quite good, and you could try to win him over again..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Nianchu slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Cousin Shen, do you want me dead before you're at ease? I was wondering why Cousin Shen was so kind to help me; it turns out she knew Second Cousin was insane. Someone like Second Cousin, I think he's a better match for Cousin Shen. Cousin, please don't harm me!"

After saying that, she told Tao Hong to see the guest out!

Today, she not only gained nothing, but also nearly died at Pei Nanzhou's hands. Fortunately, she was freed today, but Shen Shuyi's suffering has only just begun.

It's Shen Shuyi who has a tragic fate.

Shen Shuyi was thus kicked out of the house by Xia Nianchu.

Seeing the girl's mournful face, A-Jian comforted her, "There's still the young master; the second young master wouldn't dare do anything to you."

"You heard it too, Second Cousin almost burned Cousin Xia to death. Do you know how reckless Second Cousin is? Cousin Prince can't always be by my side. Right now he's at the yamen. If Second Cousin really wanted to do something to me, do you think Cousin Prince could stop him?"

Shen Shuyi sighed deeply, feeling that her future was bleak.

The system has gone offline, and she has to walk her own path from now on. She wonders why someone as crazy as Pei Nanzhou, even if she really married Pei Dongzhou, wouldn't be able to stop Pei Nanzhou from poisoning her.

"But the Third Young Master is still at the manor, and he will definitely protect you, Miss." A-Jian was desperate and grasped at straws.

Shen Shuyi glared at her, annoyed. This girl had forgotten that her third cousin also liked her. How could she use her third cousin's affection for her to get back at her second cousin?

This is inhumane. Ah Jian suddenly added, "The young master is a reliable person. Even if he goes to the yamen, he will definitely find someone to protect the young lady."

Shen Shuyi's eyes lit up, realizing that A-Jian's words made sense.

Just like last time, she thought there was only one group of people guarding her, but she was caught and brought back shortly after she knocked down Pei Dongzhou and ran away. It was clear that Pei Dongzhou had arranged another group of people to watch her from the shadows and knew where she was going.

Pei Dongzhou will definitely send people to protect her, so she doesn't need to worry so much.

Right now, she felt she should first calm Pei Dongzhou down and make sure he didn't turn evil. If Pei Dongzhou did what he did last time, tying her up or locking her in a dark room all the time, she definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.

Having made up her mind, she decided to be more compliant with Pei Dongzhou from now on and stop going against him like before.

That day, after finishing his shift, Pei Dongzhou returned home and called Qingfeng over for questioning.

Qingfeng told Pei Dongzhou what had happened at the Marquis's residence that day. Pei Dongzhou listened attentively and was not surprised when he learned that his cousin wanted to matchmake Xia and Nanzhou.

Seeing that the young master was so calm, Qingfeng thought to himself that it must be because the young master had experienced many of the things that the young lady had done, such as being drugged, so the young master was used to it.
With Miss Biao's mischievous and playful nature, most people probably couldn't handle it; only the young master can withstand her antics.

"Did Nanzhou cause any trouble for his cousin afterward?" Pei Dongzhou only cared about this.

"No. After that incident, the Second Young Master returned to Nanyuan, which is a bit unusual."

After Qingfeng finished speaking, seeing that the young master did not respond, he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Young master?"

“If you don’t have enough manpower here, you can send some more people to protect my cousin. I’m going to Fusang Academy to take a look.” Pei Dongzhou picked up the almanac and headed towards Fusang Academy.

Pei Dongzhou had just entered Fusang Academy when Shen Shuyi suddenly rushed towards him, her enthusiasm bordering on excessive.

"Your Highness is back?" Shen Shuyi asked with a bright smile. "You must be exhausted after working all day, right?"

Pei Dongzhou raised an eyebrow: "Did my cousin get into trouble?"

Shen Shuyi's face darkened; she felt that Prince Pei really didn't know how to speak, and that his words were very unpleasant.

She suppressed her smile and leaned closer to Pei Dongzhou, asking, "Cousin, has Your Highness sent someone to keep an eye on Fusang Temple?"

Prince Pei must have received news of what happened at the Marquis's residence, right?

This also suggests that someone is protecting her in secret, which may be why Pei Nanzhou hasn't come looking for trouble with her.

"What, cousin, trying to run away again? Let me make this clear: if you dare to run away again, I'll break your legs!" Pei Dongzhou threatened bluntly.

Shen Shuyi found Pei Shizi very unlovable, as he was always threatening her. Shouldn't he use his abilities to make her stay willingly?

The next moment, Pei Dongzhou tossed a Chinese almanac into her hand: "This time, my cousin chose the auspicious day for her wedding herself."

Shen Shuyi glanced at the almanac and thought to herself that if she were to choose, she could pick a date for the second half of the year.

Unexpectedly, Pei Dongzhou then said to her, "It can't be later than three months. The marriage was supposed to be completed last year, and three months is already too long. It's all my cousin's fault for suddenly leaving the capital..."
