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

Chapter 239 I fear that one day I might do something to hurt my cousin.
After putting on his new clothes, Pei Dongzhou felt as if he had come back to life. He looked at Shen Shuyi with a deep gaze and asked, "Cousin, do I look good?"

Shen Shuyi's original focus was on whether Pei Dongzhou's clothes fit properly, but after Pei Shizi asked her this question, she couldn't help but look him up and down.

She chose indigo fabric, which was actually quite bright compared to Pei Dongzhou's usual colors. Wearing his new clothes, he looked refreshing.

The main feature is that the man has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, a slender figure, and handsome features; he is truly a handsome gentleman who is one in a million.

Shen Shuyi discovered that good-looking people have this advantage: they can easily attract everyone's attention. The young master Pei in front of her really made her want to strip him naked.

However, she still retained some rationality, and after examining it for a moment, she replied expressionlessly, "It looks quite fitting."

Pei Dongzhou leaned down to look Shen Shuyi in the eye: "I'm asking if my cousin looks good."

Shen Shuyi felt that Pei Dongzhou might be using his good looks to seduce her, but he didn't even consider their current situation.

She pushed him away a little, annoyed: "In my opinion, Cousin Prince is the most handsome person."

"More beautiful than Nanzhou?" Pei Dongzhou suddenly asked.

"Although my second cousin is also good-looking, he is definitely not as good-looking as my cousin, the Crown Prince. In my heart, my cousin, the Crown Prince, is the most handsome, without a doubt." Shen Shuyi wanted to coax the Crown Prince Pei.

She knew that Prince Pei had been in a bad mood for the past two days, but these were things they couldn't control.

If the midwife returns to the Marquis's residence and tells the same thing as Aunt Qiu, then the fact that she and Pei Dongzhou are siblings will be undeniable.

She suddenly realized that if that were the case, Pei Dongzhou would most likely be very upset.

“Cousin, if…” Pei Dongzhou hesitated.

Shen Shuyi pretended not to see that Pei Dongzhou had something to say. Usually, if he couldn't say something, it was definitely not something nice, so it was better not to listen.

"Shouldn't my cousin be nicer to me?" After a moment of silence, Pei Dongzhou suddenly asked again.

Shen Shuyi glanced at Pei Shizi and replied with a fake smile, "May I ask how you would like me to treat my cousin, Shizi, well?"

“Besides me, my cousin is not allowed to talk to anyone else, nor is she allowed to smile at anyone else, especially men.” Pei Dongzhou said calmly, as if he were saying something perfectly normal.

Shen Shuyi thought to herself, "As expected of the male lead, he's not quite right in the head."

"I'm sorry, I can't do it." Shen Shuyi gave Pei Dongzhou a fake smile.

Pei Dongzhou's eyes were filled with turbulent emotions as he murmured silently, "I'm afraid that one day I might do something to hurt my cousin."

Shen Shuyi was speechless for a moment, and felt inexplicably sad.

So Pei Dongzhou knew that Aunt Qiu wasn't lying; they were indeed siblings. But he still wanted to marry her, and he didn't want her identity to change that.

She remained silent. Pei Dongzhou stared at the top of her head for a long time before finally patting her head and saying, "Don't be afraid. I'll try my best to control myself. On the condition that you don't keep making me angry, cousin."

Shen Shuyi kicked him: "I didn't make my cousin, the young master, angry. It's clearly my cousin, the young master, who is difficult to please."

Pei Dongzhou chuckled in a deep voice, and Shen Shu saw him laugh and laughed too.

Seeing this scene, A-Jian sighed inwardly. The girl and the young master were quite a good match, but it was a pity that after all the twists and turns, they were going to become siblings.
How embarrassing! The young master likes the girl so much, and the girl cares about him to some extent too. The wedding is just around the corner, but this unexpected incident is something no one could have foreseen.

Even if the young master is capable, he would be powerless in the face of such an unexpected situation, right? Even so, the young master still stayed at Fusang Courtyard without fail, and the young lady couldn't get rid of him no matter what she did.

However, A-Jian also noticed that when the young master entered the young lady's bedroom, he simply sat by the bed and looked at her, without making any intimate gestures. The young lady slept soundly, completely unaware that the young master was sitting beside her watching her sleep.

This day was for a banquet at the Li residence.

As soon as Shen Shuyi got up, she saw Pei Dongzhou already waiting for her, wearing the new clothes she had made.

Pei Shizi's handsome appearance made her take a second look, and in the end, she couldn't help but admire her good taste in choosing this color.

When Zhang saw Pei Dongzhou and Shen Shuyi appear together, her expression turned rather unpleasant.

The old lady sighed softly and beckoned Shen Shuyi to come to her side.

Regardless of Yi-jie's background, she is the girl she raised, the girl she loves from the bottom of her heart. Yi-jie is still a source of joy and a sensible child. Yi-jie has done nothing wrong; the adults are the ones who are at fault.

At this moment, Pei Xizhou and Pei Nanzhou also arrived. Pei Nanzhou's gaze fell on Shen Shuyi, with a half-smile on his face.

Shen Shuyi knew what Pei Nanzhou was thinking. She simply felt that she and Pei Dongzhou could only be siblings, not husband and wife, so Pei Nanzhou had a chance.

The problem is that she can't possibly have any emotional entanglement with Pei Nanzhou.

Shen Shuyi followed the old lady into the carriage, sitting close to her. As soon as the carriage started moving, the old lady asked her in a low voice, "Will Dong-ge stay in your room tonight?"

"My cousin, the young master, is staying in the west wing," Shen Shuyi quickly clarified.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief: "Dong'er is stubborn. After what happened, he might not be able to accept it for a while. He might only listen to you, so please try to persuade him. Also, about your marriage..."

Shen Shuyi knew that this matter could be a big deal or a small deal. She thought to herself that if she could persuade Pei Dongzhou, that would be great. But how could someone like Pei Shizi change his decision because of someone else's will?

Anyway, she felt that the current problem was neither simple nor complicated, depending on whether Pei Dongzhou could figure it out on his own.

Before long, the Pei family arrived in front of the Li residence.

In recent years, Madam Liang has lived a secluded life, and the Li family has not held a banquet for many years. Today, all the guests are well-known families in the capital.

When Xiao Liang saw the Pei family, she immediately came to greet them.

Just as she was about to greet the guests, her gaze swept over the crowd and landed squarely on Shen Shuyi's face.

Shen Shuyi met Xiao Liangshi's gaze with curiosity, only to find that Xiao Liangshi's expression towards her was a little strange.

Xiao Liang realized she had lost her composure. She tried to calm herself, but her heart was racing.

Why did she feel as if she were seeing her younger self when she saw this girl? This girl was probably the same Miss Shen that her older sister had met.

She was in a state of confusion, but she also knew that many distinguished guests had come today, and she could not be impolite.

The old lady exchanged a few pleasantries with Madam Liang. Seeing that Madam Liang was looking at Shen Shuyi, she beckoned Shen Shuyi over and introduced her to Madam Liang: "This is Yi-jie. I heard from Yi-jie that she stayed at the prefect's residence when she was in Hezhou. And Madam Xiao is your elder sister. What a wonderful coincidence."
