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

Chapter 260: Wedding Robbery?

Shen Shuyi didn't care what others thought; she just wanted to do whatever made her comfortable. Today was supposed to be her wedding day, a joyous occasion, so why should she suffer for her face?
She's getting married, not being tortured.

She ignored any advice about adapting to local customs.

When they sent her off to get married, Xiao Liang cried her eyes out, and Li Yun's eyes also reddened.

Shen Shuyi originally thought she was a hard-hearted person, but when she saw her parents reluctant to send her off to get married, her eyes also reddened.

Pei Dongzhou came to greet his bride with great excitement.

Before the wedding, he really wanted to sneak into the Li family mansion to see his bride-to-be, but he heard that it was unlucky to meet before the wedding, so he suppressed his desire to run into the Li family mansion to see the bride.

He didn't sleep a wink last night, fearing something might go wrong, and even sent someone into the Li residence to keep an eye on Pei Nanzhou's movements.

When he learned that Pei Nanzhou had been drugged by Shen Shuyi, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Yes, my cousin has always been different from other women. She has the ability to protect herself; she's not a caged bird, much less a parasitic vine. Even if Nan Zhou wants to get entangled with her, he'll have to see if she agrees.

When he saw the bride with her face covered by a fan, his eyes burned with passion, and he quickly stepped forward. However, his mother, Mrs. Sun, coughed heavily a few times, reminding him that they were in public and that he should behave himself.

Pei Dongzhou knew, of course, that this was in public, but he couldn't be composed at all, nor did he want to be. He immediately rushed forward and took Shen Shuyi's small hand.

Shen Shuyi was speechless. Even though she covered her face with a fan, she could still see the onlookers snickering.

It seems that she wasn't the only one who felt Pei Dongzhou was too impatient; others felt the same way.

However, judging from Pei Dongzhou's demeanor, he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with being ridiculed.

As Pei Dongzhou led her to the bridal sedan chair, he whispered in her ear, "My cousin is finally going to marry me."

Shen Shuyi: ...

As soon as she sat in the bridal sedan chair, Shen Shuyi immediately put down her fan, shook her neck, and just wanted to relax her tense body.

She didn't sleep well last night, and sitting in the sedan chair felt like sitting in a rocking chair; she felt drowsy for a while.

She soon fell into a deep sleep, completely unaware that she had arrived at the Marquis of Pingyang's residence.

A-Jian stood beside the bridal sedan chair and, seeing that Shen Shuyi was asleep, quickly coughed twice. However, Shen Shuyi was fast asleep and couldn't be woken up by the cough.

It was at this moment that Pei Dongzhou lifted the sedan curtain. When he saw the sleeping Shen Shuyi, he couldn't help but chuckle. He simply looked at the bride and didn't rush to take her into the Marquis's mansion.

In her haste, A-Jian kicked the bridal sedan chair, which jolted Shen Shuyi awake from her shock.

She looked up and saw Prince Pei, dressed in a wedding robe, looking at her leisurely, and she didn't know how long he had been staring at her.

She then remembered that she was getting married today, and that she had actually fallen asleep in the sedan chair.

After glaring at Pei Dongzhou, she calmly picked up the round fan and continued to be an elegant bride.

After the newlyweds enter the house and step over the fire basin to ward off evil spirits, they will then proceed with the wedding ceremony.

Inside the wedding hall, Marquis Pingyang and Madam Zhang looked at the newlyweds with great satisfaction. They felt that the most innocent party in that old incident was Yi'er. She was originally a proper daughter of the Li family, a precious and beloved jewel, but she was ruined by Pei Zhichun and turned into an orphan.

Fortunately, the old lady helped take care of her and has protected Yi-jie all these years; otherwise, they would have owed Yi-jie even more.

The old lady looked at the newlyweds before her, tears streaming down her face, overjoyed beyond measure.

Her wish was that Yi-jie would marry into the Marquis's family so that she could take care of her from afar. Now that her wish has finally come true, how could she not be happy?
In fact, the news that Pei Dongzhou was going to marry the daughter of the Marquis's family had been circulating for a long time last year, after all, many people had attended Pei's engagement banquet.

But nothing happened on the day the wedding was set, so everyone thought the wedding was off.

I never expected to be able to attend Prince Pei and this cousin's wedding banquet today. Even more bizarrely, it turns out that Miss Shen is actually the long-lost daughter of Lord Li, the Imperial Clan Minister.

Previously, everyone couldn't understand why Prince Pei would marry an orphan girl; they assumed it was simply lust at first sight. Now, however, the change in this cousin's status has forced everyone to admire Prince Pei's sharp eye.

Just as the wedding banquet was in full swing, an untimely voice rang out: "How could you not invite me to such an important day for your elder brother and cousin?"

Everyone looked up at the sound and saw a handsome man in a scarlet robe enter the hall surrounded by people.

If everyone didn't know that the groom was Prince Pei, they would all think that this well-dressed man was the groom.

Those who didn't know him thought he was inconsiderate, trying to steal the spotlight from the young master Pei on his wedding day. But those who did know him knew that he was also a member of the Pei family, though he rarely appeared in public before, so many people didn't know he existed. He was none other than Pei Nanzhou, the second son of the Marquis of Pingyang.

Seeing Pei Nanzhou's grand display left everyone completely baffled.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Pei Nanzhou produced the imperial edict: "His Majesty has bestowed upon me the title of Prince of Zhao. I hope you will all welcome me to the Marquis's residence today?"

Shen Shuyi suddenly felt very fortunate that she was holding a round fan, which at least blocked Pei Nanzhou's undisguised gaze.

Ever since Pei Nanzhou came in, he has been staring at her, and even the round fan could not hide his direct gaze.

She only regretted that the medicine's effects were too short-lived, as Pei Nanzhou actually came running over on her wedding day.

Pei Nanzhou even revealed his identity, clearly letting the Pei family see that his status was different now, and anyone who wanted to drive him away would have to think twice.

The others looked at each other in surprise when they heard that Pei Nanzhou had been granted the title of Prince of Zhao. After a moment, they all bowed to Pei Nanzhou.

No one knew what had happened, why this Second Young Master Pei had suddenly become a prince, and judging from his demeanor, he didn't seem to be there for a wedding banquet, but rather to cause trouble.

There was another bewildered person at the scene, Li Yi.

He had once been very interested in Shen Shuyi, but he accepted his defeat to Pei Dongzhou. He had thought today's main characters would be Pei Shizi and his cousin Shen, but Pei Nanzhou suddenly appeared and became his brother?

Why didn't he receive the message?
When did this happen?
He nudged Pei Xizhou and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Why didn't you tell me that Nanzhou is my father's... offspring..."

Pei Xizhou was displeased. He brushed away Li Yi's unruly hand and said, "I thought you already knew."

Little did he know that Li Yi was so irresponsible that he didn't even realize he had gained a brother while he had lost an older brother.
"Nobody told me, how would I know?" Li Yi said irritably.

Oh right, is Pei Nanzhou here to steal the bride?!
