Jiaojiao is getting married, and the male leads fall for her and fight over her.
Chapter 259 Getting Married
Chapter 259 Getting Married
Li Yun felt his daughter was worrying unnecessarily, but he also knew that nothing was absolute. If Pei Nanzhou was ruthless enough and cunning enough to kill the Crown Prince, then it was uncertain who would rule the Great Qi.
“I’m telling you the truth, even though my second cousin has only just recognized His Majesty, the future is uncertain. Father, you must be careful of my second cousin and avoid a direct confrontation with him,” Shen Shuyi said in a low voice.
Who would have thought that Pei Er, who was usually the most low-key and seemed like an immortal, was a madman? And who would have thought that Pei Er, the most idle of the four Pei brothers, would rise to become a prince?
Since the most unlikely thing has happened to Pei Nanzhou, it wouldn't be too surprising if he were to ascend the throne in the future.
The only thing that comforted her was that there were four male protagonists in the original novel.
If Pei Nanzhou wants to seize the throne, the male lead Pei Dongzhou wouldn't agree, right?
After all, Pei Dongzhou had always supported the Crown Prince, and Pei Yunxuan was the Crown Princess. The Pei family had chosen the Crown Prince as their bettor, not Pei Nanzhou, who came from the Marquis's mansion.
She deliberately gave her father a heads-up, hoping he would be more careful and not offend Pei Nanzhou too much.
Li Yun was aware of his daughter's concerns and replied softly, "I understand. Just take care of yourself."
He thought that even for his daughter's sake, he couldn't let Pei Nanzhou sit in that position, otherwise even if his daughter got married, Pei Nanzhou would snatch her into the palace.
Shen Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Yun had taken her advice to heart.
That's not all she's worried about.
Although she hadn't paid much attention to many plot points in the original novel, she remembered one thing: the female lead was incredibly popular, making all the male leads fight over her. She was afraid that she might actually replace the female lead and become that so-called "popular girl."
What if the Pei brothers cause chaos in the world because of their fight for her?
I just hope she's just being delusional and things aren't going this way.
All four Pei brothers were formidable figures, with Pei Xizhou later becoming a wealthy merchant in the Great Qi Dynasty in the original novel. As for Pei Beizhou, he became a powerful minister.
In the original work, Pei Nanzhou was the only one whose story was not elaborated on, and it was precisely Pei Nanzhou who suddenly became a prince.
With her wedding approaching, Shen Shuyi, fearing trouble, moved into Xiao Liang's courtyard, waiting for her wedding.
Li Yun and his wife also sent many people to guard against Pei Nanzhou from entering Xiao Liang's courtyard again.
Therefore, the days leading up to Shen Shuyi's wedding were relatively peaceful.
But on the night before her wedding, Qingfeng and Mingyue attacked the many old women and maids guarding the courtyard, and Pei Nanzhou took the opportunity to barge in.
Madam Liang was so angry that her face turned pale. Shen Shuyi comforted her for a few moments, and then said to her, "I'm going to have a chat with my second cousin. Don't worry, Mother."
Xiao Liang looked at Shen Shuyi with concern, and Shen Shuyi chuckled and whispered in Xiao Liang's ear.
Upon hearing this, Madam Liang looked at her suspiciously, but still let her go out to see Pei Nanzhou.
Shen Shuyi went to the courtyard and saw the crowd in disarray. She said to Ajian, "Guests are welcome. Go and make a pot of tea."
A-Jian accepted the order and left.
Shen Shuyi ordered the others, "Everyone, step back and don't disturb my conversation with my second cousin."
The crowd looked at each other, but dared not disobey the order, and retreated in turn.
The courtyard returned to silence. A-Jian brewed a pot of tea and came over. Shen Shuyi said calmly, "Second cousin, please sit down. Let's get straight to the point."
Pei Nanzhou sat down opposite Shen Shuyi as instructed: "Does my cousin have to marry my eldest brother? Can't I?" "Now that my second cousin has recognized His Majesty, he has a bright future ahead of him and can have any woman he wants. Why is my cousin so fixated on me?" Shen Shuyi said calmly, pouring Pei Nanzhou a cup of tea.
Pei Nanzhou reverently accepted the tea and carefully took a sip.
This is the tea that his cousin poured for him. He may never have the chance to drink tea that she brewed again in the future.
He knew his behavior was displeasing, but she was getting married tomorrow, and if he didn't come to see her now, he might never have another chance to see her again.
After taking a few sips of tea, the familiar dizziness returned. He looked at Shen Shuyi and met her calm gaze.
"I'll say it again, Second Cousin, you should look at other women and stop being so fixated on me. Second Cousin, get some sleep!"
As soon as Shen Shuyi finished speaking, she saw Pei Nanzhou lose consciousness.
Only after confirming that he had lost consciousness did she call Qingfeng and Mingyue in and take Pei Nanzhou away.
She knew she couldn't reason with Pei Nanzhou, so she simply knocked him down.
"As your second cousin's close attendants, you should advise him to stay on the wrong path," Shen Shuyi said calmly.
Qingfeng and Mingyue did not respond.
They tried to persuade him, but the young master wouldn't listen to them at all. No matter what they said, he insisted on marrying the young lady.
They have served the young master for many years, and they know his temperament well.
If the young master didn't have power, it would be fine, but now that he has power, his possessiveness towards Miss Biao will only grow infinitely.
Seeing this, Shen Shuyi didn't waste any more words and let them take Pei Nanzhou away.
This time she doubled the dosage of the medicine, hoping that Pei Nanzhou would sleep longer and not disturb her wedding.
Now that Pei Nanzhou is dealt with, all she has to do is wait for her wedding tomorrow.
Xiao Liangshi watched from a short distance as her daughter drugged Pei Nanzhou. Seeing how relaxed her daughter was while doing so, she realized her daughter had done this kind of thing many times before.
It has to be said that this method of administering the drug was really effective, and Pei Nanzhou finally calmed down.
Because the wedding was the next day, Madam Liang was extremely reluctant to part with Shen Shuyi and talked to her for a long time. However, fearing that it would delay her daughter's wedding the next day, Madam Liang told Shen Shuyi to rest early.
Shen Shuyi thought she could fall asleep as soon as she lay down, but she actually had some insomnia.
She had dreamed of getting married in modern times, but she never imagined she would end up getting married in ancient times. Her thoughts were very simple: marry an honest and reliable man. Since she wasn't particularly outstanding, she thought marrying an ordinary office worker would be perfect.
But how could she have imagined that she would transmigrate into a book and marry into such a prominent family as the Pei family?
Lost in her thoughts, she drifted off to sleep.
It felt like I was having a dream, a dream filled with all sorts of bizarre and fantastical scenes, but when I sat up the next day, I couldn't remember anything.
Before long, a large crowd gathered in the room. Madam Liang arrived, along with the other women from the household. Just as the master of the house was about to perform the facial surgery, she stopped him because she was afraid of the pain.
Since Madam Liang indulged her, she let Quanfu save this step and chose to help her comb her hair.
The people standing nearby couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief. They really didn't expect that the face-opening step could be skipped so easily. Everyone went through this process, so only Shen Shuyi had such special treatment.
