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

Chapter 248 The Marriage is Called Off: The Prince Only Wants the Letter, He Doesn't Care About Face!

"Mother, don't cry. It's a good thing that we're reunited. Everyone's watching," Shen Shuyi said, patting Xiao Liangshi's back gently.

When Xiao Liang heard Shen Shuyi call her "Mother," her body trembled.

Even though her daughter has been separated from her for so many years, she doesn't treat her like a stranger at all, which is the luckiest thing in the world.

She remembered that she was in the Marquis of Pingyang's residence, and that Jufutang was full of people from the Marquis's residence. She quickly wiped away her tears.

After calming down, she said in a hoarse voice, "Daughter, come home with me."

Upon hearing this, the old lady became anxious: "No, Yi'er is a young lady from my Marquis's mansion..."

This is the child she raised with her own hands. How could this suddenly appearing mother take him away? Although it was Zhichun's fault, her love for the child was genuine.

But she was guilty in the end, after all, it was Zhichun who had separated Xiaoliangshi and Yijie'er from their mother for so many years, and she couldn't bear to part with Yijie'er.

Zhang was completely stunned by the sudden turn of events.

She has been having trouble sleeping lately because she feels she has wronged her own daughter, but she doesn't know how to get along with Yi-jie. Now she is suddenly told that Yi-jie is not her biological child.
"And what about my daughter?" Zhang's voice trembled slightly.

"Since Miss Shen returned to the Marquis's residence, I have also settled down in the capital. As for the young lady, she got married the year before last, and her husband is quite good; the couple lives in harmony." It was Ziyu who replied.

She had thought that this secret would be taken to her grave by the only person who knew it. The children whose lives had been switched all lived good lives. Miss Shen also moved into the Marquis's mansion and was pampered by the old lady. Even though their lives were reversed, they all grew up safely.

She never imagined the truth would come out one day.

Zhang's anxiety was relieved.

However, Lady Liang was dissatisfied with everyone in the Pingyang Marquis's mansion.

Why was her child kidnapped by Pei Zhichun? She even helped Pei Zhichun raise the daughter of the Marquis of Pingyang's family, yet she has been separated from her own daughter for all these years. The Pei family is truly hateful.

For a time, she felt no goodwill towards anyone in the Pingyang Marquis's residence.

As for the old lady's words, she ignored them and said to Shen Shuyi, "Yi'er, go and pack your things and come home with me immediately."

Shen Shuyi subconsciously looked at the old lady, and then at Pei Dongzhou.

Pei Dongzhou wanted to say something, but he knew he had no right to stop them. Besides, he was going to marry their precious daughter, so he certainly couldn't afford to have a bad falling out with his future in-laws.

Li Yun then dropped a bombshell: "As for the marriage between Yi'er and Prince Pei, it's hereby called off!!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Dongzhou immediately retorted, "No way. I've ruined my cousin's reputation, so she has no choice but to marry me!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yun was so enraged that he jumped up and down: "Prince Pei, are you even human? How could you do such a beastly thing? You, you, you—"

Pei Dongzhou now only regrets not having consummated his marriage with his cousin directly. If his cousin were to become pregnant with his child, let's see how the Li couple would stop them.

"I can't help myself to my cousin. To be honest with my future in-laws, I've been staying at Fusang Inn every night lately!" Pei Dongzhou only cares about his cousin, so he's long since given up on saving face.

For a moment, Jufutang fell silent.

Li Yun and Madam Liang were furious at the sight of the Pei family members in the room. They then looked at their daughter, hoping she would give them a negative answer.

Under the glaring gazes of her parents, Shen Shuyi didn't know what to say.

In modern society, people can live together without getting married, but in ancient times, sleeping in the same courtyard meant having one's reputation ruined.

Could she say that she couldn't get rid of Prince Pei because he insisted on staying at Fusang Courtyard?
But it was pointless to say that; the fact remained that the two of them slept in the same bed every night. "This is the Pei family's upbringing!!" Li Yun was so angry that she almost cursed out loud.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Pingyang shrank back. After all, the son was his, and Pei Zhichun was a girl from the Marquis's mansion. He really had no face to deny that she had become pregnant out of wedlock.

The old lady also looked helpless, after all, Pei Zhichun was her child, and it was indeed her fault for not raising him well.

But Pei Dongzhou has never been under her control, so it's none of her business, okay?

"Dad, don't be angry. Getting angry will make you age faster," Shen Shuyi coaxed softly from the side.

Li Yun was furious with Pei Dongzhou, but upon hearing her daughter's words, she immediately beamed with joy: "Yi-jie is right, I don't need to get angry over someone like that."

“Uncle, actually I’m not bad either. Although I didn’t inherit the title of heir, I really like my cousin. If you don’t mind, I’m willing to marry into the family.” Pei Nanzhou seized every opportunity to poach her.

The moment Li Yun saw Pei Nanzhou, she felt a sense of light and excitement.

"who are you?"

Li Yun thought that this should also be a young master of the Pei family, but he was more pleasing to the eye than the heir of the Pei family.

"I am Pei Nanzhou..."

Upon hearing Pei Nanzhou's name, Li Yun's face immediately darkened. Wasn't this the culprit who caused Pei Zhichun to switch three babies?

However, to be fair, Pei Nanzhou has a rather handsome face, somewhat resembling the current emperor...

However, since he is Pei Zhichun's child, he is definitely not a good person.

“No, even if my daughter is desperate for a man, she would never marry you, Pei Nanzhou!” Li Yun rejected Pei Nanzhou’s proposal without hesitation.

To be precise, even if all the men in the world died, it still wouldn't be Pei Nanzhou.

If it weren't for Pei Nanzhou, would Yi Jie'er have been separated from them for so many years? Besides, Pei Zhichun is so bad, and Pei Nanzhou is Pei Zhichun's child, so he must not be a good person either.

Li Yun and his wife, not wanting to get entangled with the Pei family any longer, took Shen Shuyi and prepared to leave the Marquis's residence.

The old lady hesitated several times, wanting to speak but stopping herself. It was true the Pei family was in the wrong, but over the years, she hadn't mistreated Yi'er. She was her precious daughter, the apple of her eye, and now this child was suddenly leaving…

Shen Shuyi also knew that the old lady was reluctant to part with her, as well as Pei Dongzhou, who had been watching her closely—

Putting the Pei family aside for now, she felt that she needed to appease her biological parents first; everyone else was secondary.

"Father, Mother, I'll go to Fusang Courtyard to tidy up first, and then I'll go home with you," Shen Shuyi said to Li Yun and his wife with a smile.

They were worried about leaving Shen Shuyi alone, so they insisted on going with her to Fusangyuan.

A-Jian and Mama Dai were still unaware of what was going on when they learned that Shen Shuyi was suddenly leaving the Marquis's residence, leaving them somewhat bewildered.

"Is the young lady Lord Li's daughter? Are you sure?" A-Jian asked in surprise.

"Yes, my parents are still waiting for me outside. Let's hurry up and pack our things, and go stay at the Li residence for a while." As soon as Shen Shuyi finished speaking, she sensed something amiss behind her.

She turned around and saw Pei Dongzhou standing silently behind her.

"Is my cousin really going to be so heartless as to abandon me and just leave like this?" Pei Dongzhou's eyes were downcast, looking as if he had been abandoned by Shen Shuyi.
