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

Chapter 233 The Crown Prince Has Reached His Heat Period

Pei Dongzhou, seemingly oblivious to Qingzhu's speechless expression, smiled and said, "It's no use envying me. My cousin only makes clothes for her husband personally. No one else has such a blessing. Clothes from the Ni Chang Pavilion are extremely rare. I'm probably the only one in the world with the honor of wearing clothes made by my cousin's own hands."

Qingzhu: ...

Next, not only Qingzhu heard Pei Shizi's boasting, but Qingfeng and Qingyun also couldn't escape Pei Shizi's torment.

They felt that the young master was already showing off his wealth before even wearing the clothes made by his cousin. If he were to actually wear the clothes made by his cousin, wouldn't he be running around the streets and spreading the news?

As evening fell, Shen Shuyi was still busy when she looked up and saw Pei Dongzhou walking towards her in light clothing.

She couldn't help but glance a few more times at Prince Pei's bare chest, which revealed several abdominal muscles. Although she couldn't see them clearly, the subtle glimpses made them even more alluring.

The most outrageous thing was that Pei Dongzhou's gaze was so sticky and lingering that she couldn't stand it.

Until Pei Dongzhou sat down beside her, his warm body pressed against hers, and he even rested his head on her shoulder. What was he going to do?

Unsure of what Prince Pei was up to, she turned to him and asked, "What is Cousin Prince Pei trying to do?"

Why can't you just sit still? Why do you have to be so close to her like this? Is she in heat?
"Thank you for your hard work, cousin," Pei Dongzhou said softly.

Shen Shuyi was startled by Pei Dongzhou's gentle voice. She subconsciously pushed the young master of the Pei family away a little: "Is my cousin, the young master, alright?"

Why did she feel that he was being even more clingy than before?
“Very good, I will marry my cousin soon, how could it not be good?” As Pei Dongzhou spoke, he put his arm around his cousin’s slender waist from behind.

Shen Shuyi thought that Prince Pei was strangely clingy, and the most outrageous thing was that he seemed to be in a state of heat.

She immediately became alert, pretended to be tired, shook her neck, and then stretched: "I'm so tired, I'm going to get up and walk around for a bit."

Pei Dongzhou was relatively normal; he didn't pull her back to sit next to him, but continued to look at her with that sticky, affectionate gaze, making her both laugh and cry.

Little did she know that at that moment, Pei Dongzhou was just glad that his cousin had returned, living so vividly and lively right under his nose.

During the time she disappeared, he lived like a walking corpse. He couldn't imagine what kind of life he would have led if he hadn't found her later.

When the two went to bed to rest, Shen Shuyi unconsciously sighed softly.

She was actually a rather conservative woman, and she never imagined that one day she would be living with a rigid, feudal-minded man from ancient times before marriage. The crucial point was that this man didn't see anything wrong with their behavior.

"Why are you sighing, cousin?" The next moment, Pei Dongzhou pulled her closer.

Shen Shuyi looked up at Pei Dongzhou and met his clingy little eyes. She asked in a serious tone, "Cousin, can you stop holding me? I want to sleep."

Seeing his posture, she realized he still wanted to hold her while she slept.

Although it's not hot to be held while sleeping in this weather, she's not used to it. Her hands and feet go numb when she's held like this.

"Okay, cousin, go to sleep." Pei Dongzhou looked at Shen Shuyi, wanting to kiss and hug her.

But he still wanted to save the best for their wedding night. He felt he had to control himself once he kissed her, especially in such a dangerous place as the bed.

Shen Shuyi was exasperated when Pei Shizi verbally agreed but then kept holding her hand, pinching and squeezing it from time to time.

Although she was a bit slow on the uptake when it came to matters of the heart, she truly realized today that Prince Pei liked her very much, and this liking was related to romantic love.

She felt that in Prince Pei's eyes, she might be a delicious piece of meat, someone he could devour at any moment. "Cousin Prince, you should go to sleep early too. You have to go to the yamen to work tomorrow."

“Okay.” Pei Dongzhou replied, but his gaze was fixed intently on her.

Shen Shuyi was too lazy to persuade her anymore, so she simply closed her eyes and went to sleep.

She had never thought about being with the male lead before because she was busy trying to survive and always felt it was unrealistic.

Now that she feels that Prince Pei, the male lead, likes her so much, she thinks she can try to give him a positive response.

The system had told her before it went offline that she had completed the mission and wouldn't die young anymore. She felt that she shouldn't limit herself to being a vicious, early-dying female supporting character anymore.

She has now broken free from the plot, and it's not just her; the other male leads are the same, including Pei Dongzhou.

When the system gave her tasks, it mainly targeted Pei Dongzhou; the other male leads were fine. She actually had many questions for the system, but the system knew nothing about them and had now gone offline, leaving her with no one to ask her many questions.

She fell asleep lost in thought, but Pei Dongzhou gazed at her sleeping face for a long time.

He knew he absolutely couldn't let Pei Nanzhou switch his body, and he couldn't let Pei Nanzhou find any love potions. He couldn't let his hard-won wife be taken away by any other man, not even his own brother.

He now hopes that there really is a Holy Maiden of the Western Frontier and that the Forgetfulness Gu exists, so that after Pei Nanzhou takes it, he will no longer try to take her away from him.

He planted a kiss on Shen Shuyi's forehead before slowly leaving the Fusang Courtyard.

Once he gave the signal, his bodyguards would appear.

"What are your orders, Young Master?" the guard asked in a low voice.

If someone suddenly summons him at this hour, it must be because they have important instructions for him.

"Increase manpower and resources to search for the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden of the Western Frontier, and send people to keep an eye on the people of the Southern Continent. If they have any leads first, follow them quietly and act when the opportunity arises," Pei Dongzhou instructed.

Perhaps it's because the more he cares, the more afraid he is of losing her; he didn't want Pei Nanzhou to ruin his relationship with his cousin. But Pei Nanzhou has an extreme personality, and he wouldn't feel at ease without keeping a close eye on him.

To prevent any unexpected events, we still need to keep a close eye on what's happening in Nanyuan.

"Yes!" the guard replied respectfully.

"If you need money to bribe someone, you can go to Xizhou. He has no shortage of money," Pei Dongzhou instructed as a final instruction.

Pei Dongzhou only returned to Fusang Courtyard after the guards had gone far away.

The next day, Shen Shuyi was busy making new clothes for Pei Dongzhou when Aunt Dai suddenly rushed over to her and said, "Something happened at Jufutang."

Shen Shuyi was taken aback. Jufutang was Zhang's territory. What could possibly happen there?

"What happened?" Shen Shuyi asked curiously.

Zhang was a domineering woman. Although her uncle was a womanizer, Zhang had turned a blind eye to it all these years. In addition, she controlled the household affairs of the Marquis's mansion, so the mansion had always been relatively stable. Zhang had lived a comfortable life all these years. Moreover, her children were outstanding, so generally no one dared to cause Zhang any trouble.
