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

Chapter 235 Even if the sky falls, I will still marry her!

"What's wrong with Cousin Prince?" Shen Shuyi asked knowingly.

Pei Dongzhou subconsciously reached out to pinch Shen Shuyi's face, but then, as if remembering something, he abruptly withdrew his hand.

Shen Shuyi sensed Pei Dongzhou's inner conflict and struggle, which made her even more curious about what made him act as if he loved and hated her at the same time.

Unable to keep anything to herself, she asked directly, "Does Cousin Prince also know that our marriage has changed?"

Pei Dongzhou said calmly, "Who said my marriage to my cousin is in jeopardy?!"

No matter what happens, his marriage to his cousin will not change! How could he possibly lose the cousin he's already got?
Shen Shuyi was taken aback: "My maternal grandmother told me this, and my aunt also said the same thing. They also said they would explain it to my cousin, the young master."

Anyway, she felt there was a very strange atmosphere in the Marquis's mansion, and she was sure she wasn't mistaken.

Although the truth will eventually come out, and the old lady and Zhang Shi's secret will be exposed sooner or later, she was still curious and wanted to know what was going on.

"My mother and grandmother can't decide my marriage to my cousin. My cousin and I are going to get married eventually, and that can't be changed! Even if the sky falls, I will still marry my cousin!" Pei Dongzhou said solemnly.

Shen Shuyi thought to herself that it wasn't that serious.

Prince Pei had an unprecedentedly serious expression. But, well, Prince Pei was the most powerful now, so she would just believe whatever he said.

She never expected that Sun's mother would suddenly arrive with Zhang's mother.

When Zhang saw Shen Shuyi, Shen Shuyi couldn't ignore the complex look in her eyes.

She stepped forward and bowed to Zhang, who said kindly, "Dong-ge and I have something to talk about. We'll come see you again next time."

She thought Zhang looked like she might faint at any moment, so why did Zhang still rush over?

Pei Dongzhou said coldly, "I have nothing to say to my mother. My marriage to my cousin is set, and there will be no change."

Upon hearing this, Zhang swayed as if about to collapse: "Dong-ge'er, you know you shouldn't..."

Seemingly sensing Shen Shuyi's gaze, Zhang quickly stopped herself. She grabbed Pei Dongzhou's arm, intending to take him away.

"I'm not leaving. I want to stay at Fusang Courtyard tonight!" Pei Dongzhou brushed Zhang's hand away.

Zhang hadn't expected Pei Dongzhou to be so stubborn. She pleaded, "Dong-ge'er, would you please leave with your mother?"

Pei Dongzhou could tell that Zhang was unwell, so he simply instructed Granny Sun, "Granny Sun, take Mother home to rest. I will make my own decisions about my affairs. As for my cousin, I've already decided to marry her!"

This time, Zhang finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

Pei Dongzhou quickly helped Zhang up and carried her out of the Fusang Courtyard.

Seeing how confused Shen Shuyi was, she couldn't help but follow him.

When she arrived at Jufutang, the servants were all gathered outside, seemingly unaware of what had happened. Seeing her arrive, they didn't dare stop her. She quietly went to the bedroom, where she heard Granny Sun crying and saying to Pei Dongzhou, "Young Master knows he shouldn't marry Miss Cousin, so why is he so stubborn? Miss Cousin is Young Master's own sister..." Shen Shuyi had considered many possibilities, but she never expected this one.

how can that be possible?
Wasn't she said to be Pei Zhichun's child? How did she become Zhang's daughter?

This is too outrageous. How did she suddenly become Pei Dongzhou's younger sister?

She pricked up her ears and continued eavesdropping. After a long silence in the room, Pei Dongzhou said calmly, "I don't care. I just like her and want to marry her. I can't marry any other woman but her. How can you assume that Aunt Qiu's words are true based solely on her one-sided account?"

“But everything Aunt Qiu said makes sense. The midwife back then was bribed by Aunt Qiu, and it was Aunt Qiu who switched the cousin and the second young master!” Mama Sun raised her voice anxiously.

Perhaps even Madam Sun realized she had overreacted: "Young Master, please do me a favor and postpone the marriage with Miss Cousin at this time. We can decide whether or not to marry her after we have investigated everything that happened back then."

"Anyway, this is all Aunt Qiu's one-sided story, and I won't believe it. Where is Aunt Qiu? I want to interrogate her myself!" As Pei Dongzhou spoke, he glanced at the door from the corner of his eye.

"She's been locked up by the Marquis. In my opinion, this is no exaggeration. If Aunt Qiu hadn't been suddenly provoked by the Madam, this matter wouldn't have come to light. Fortunately, it was exposed before the wedding; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuyi quietly left.

She never imagined that her background was so complicated. She had thought that her biological father was unknown, but she never expected that she would become the legitimate daughter of a marquis's family.

On the contrary, Pei Nanzhou became the cousin.

That's not right. She's a year younger than Pei Nanzhou, and she's a girl while her second cousin is a boy. They're only a year apart in age, so how could they have switched them? Didn't anyone notice that the two children's genders were different?
If she is Zhang's biological daughter, but was switched with Pei Nanzhou, then she was switched when she was one year old, right?
Did no one realize that she was a girl and not a boy that year?
She had always considered herself to be fairly intelligent, but she couldn't understand how Aunt Qiu had managed to switch her with Pei Nanzhou, no matter how hard she tried.

Or perhaps Aunt Qiu was lying.

Lost in thought, she returned to Fusangin, still pondering her origins, unable to figure out what had happened.

No wonder Pei Dongzhou didn't believe it; she also felt that the idea of ​​her and Pei Nanzhou switching places was unscientific, as the time and gender didn't match up.

After having dinner that day, she went to take a bath to digest her food, but she didn't see Pei Dongzhou. She thought that Pei Dongzhou was avoiding suspicion after knowing about their relationship, but unexpectedly, Pei Dongzhou came at that moment.

Shen Shuyi looked at Pei Dongzhou speechlessly, trying her best to appear calm: "Why is Cousin Prince here?"

"What, can't I come?" Pei Dongzhou smirked sarcastically.

Shen Shuyi could tell from his tone, which was full of hostility, that the male lead was in a bad mood. After all, they were about to get married, but his bride-to-be had suddenly become her sister. Most people wouldn't be able to accept such a change in status, right?
"No, Cousin Crown Prince, you're overthinking it," Shen Shuyi said with a forced smile.

Pei Dongzhou knew that his attitude was wrong. It wasn't his cousin's fault; the blame lay with Aunt Qiu.

He softened his expression, sat down on the edge of the bed, and stared straight at Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi felt a chill run down her spine under Pei Dongzhou's blatant gaze. No way, no way, did the male lead really intend to make a move on her at this moment?
That won't do. Her identity is suspected to be that of Prince Pei's sister. They can't be having an affair.
