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

Chapter 262 A bunch of people plotted against him, the groom

Shen Shuyi knew that Pei Dongzhou liked her, but she didn't expect him to be so persistent.

Another quarter of an hour had passed, and the old woman outside was screaming anxiously. Shen Shuyi had no choice but to push him away forcefully: "Cousin, please hurry up and go, really..."

She was truly exasperated with him. There were so many guests waiting for him outside, yet he was indulging in women!
"My lady, are you really willing to let your husband leave you for someone else?" Pei Dongzhou glared at Shen Shuyi reproachfully.

Shen Shuyi scoffed coldly, "You're willing to give it up!"

She suddenly realized that she might be very tired tonight.

Judging from the way he kissed her just now, it was like he wanted to devour her whole; it seemed like they were really going to consummate their marriage...

She suddenly felt a little flustered.

"Your Highness, it's important to attend to important matters. With so many distinguished guests here today, it wouldn't be appropriate for you not to show your face."

As Shen Shuyi spoke, she pushed the gentle and refined groom, Pei Shizi, out of the room, thinking to herself that if there were too many guests and he couldn't handle them, and ended up getting drunk, it would be fine if he didn't come back.

Although Pei Dongzhou was unwilling, he still left the bridal chamber.

He glanced back at the new house, thinking to himself that he needed to finish quickly and spend more time with his new bride.

Although I had prepared myself mentally, seeing several groups of people surrounding me as soon as I returned to the banquet venue still made me realize that being a groom wasn't easy.

The group that surrounded them certainly had ulterior motives.

Li Yi definitely wanted to get Pei Dongzhou drunk. This young master Pei had snatched the top courtesan who had entered his house from him, so he was definitely going to use a ruthless tactic today.

Pei Xizhou's idea coincided with Li Yi's, and naturally he also hoped to get Pei Dongzhou drunk.

Of course, Pei Nanzhou had the same idea.

As for Pei Beizhou, his thinking was even simpler: why should Prince Pei not only be the heir but also be able to marry Shen Shuyi? He couldn't stand Pei Dongzhou's smug and triumphant appearance.

A group of people put in their best efforts, all wanting to get Pei Dongzhou drunk.

Everyone got ready, and Li Yi was the first to step forward, saying warmly, "Dongzhou, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you. Today is your wedding day, and I must toast you!"

As he spoke, he shoved the wine glass into Pei Dongzhou's hand.

After accepting the cup, Pei Dongzhou, under the watchful eyes of Li Yi and the others, calmly changed to another cup of tea: "Your Highness, please forgive me. It was Madam who specifically instructed me not to drink alcohol. In my home, I follow Madam's orders. So I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."

Without giving Li Yi a chance to refute, he took a small sip of tea and that was it.

When he looked up, he saw that the Pei brothers were all looking at him with hostile eyes, seemingly not expecting him to use this trick against them.

Li Yi was the first to react, and said in a deep voice, "That's not very nice of you. How can you try to get away with tea on such a joyous occasion?"

“Your Highness is right.” Pei Dongzhou said, beckoning a group of young men to enter. “I invited them all to help. I’m not a good drinker, and my wife forbids me from drinking, so I couldn’t refuse everyone’s kindness. I had no choice but to ask for help. I hope you all don’t mind?”

Looking at the shrewd and calculating Pei Dongzhou, everyone present immediately understood that Pei Dongzhou had long anticipated that they would not let him off easily, and had even come up with a plan in advance.

The most outrageous thing is that, under everyone's relentless attacks, Pei Dongzhou finally couldn't resist and took a sip of wine, and then he actually "couldn't hold his liquor" and got drunk!

No one present believed that Pei Dongzhou's alcohol tolerance was so low, but no one could stop Pei Dongzhou from leaving under this pretext.

Li Yi's fists itched, and he muttered, "I really want to beat him up." Pei Xizhou agreed, "How come I never noticed how cunning my brother was before? Will my cousin be schemed against if she marries him?"

"If he weren't cunning, how could he have married Cousin Shen?" Li Yi sneered.

As he spoke, he looked at Pei Nanzhou, who remained calm, still finding it hard to believe that this man was actually his brother.

He felt that Pei Nanzhou had clearly intended to steal the bride when he first arrived, but he didn't know what Pei Dongzhou had said to him that made him change his mind.

But seeing Pei Nanzhou's calm demeanor, he didn't seem like he was about to steal the bride at all.

On the contrary, Pei Beizhou coldly watched the direction Pei Dongzhou left in, and could see through Pei Beizhou's dislike for Pei Dongzhou at a glance.

So, Pei Beizhou isn't as creepy as people think.

He had heard from Xizhou that Pei Nanzhou was deeply infatuated with his cousin Shen. But looking at him now, there was no sign that he had such feelings for her.

“Nanzhou is a bit intimidating; he looks like someone who’s going to do big things,” Li Yi whispered to Pei Xizhou.

Why did he think that someone like Pei Nanzhou was very suitable to sit on the throne of the emperor?
However, Li Hong was no pushover either, and he had deep roots in the court. Pei Nanzhou, this illegitimate son, had only recently appeared in public, so he was unlikely to be a match for Li Hong.

Pei Xizhou saw it too, and he replied in a low voice, "I'm worried that Second Brother is going down a path of no return."

"This is something Dongzhou should worry about. What are you worried about?" Li Yi said irritably.

It's better that he's a womanizer; what's the use of being devoted? Even if he misses out on Shen, this interesting woman, he won't be depressed for too long, because there are countless beauties in this world waiting for him to discover.

It's only because people like Pei Xizhou and Pei Nanzhou are so naive that they think the sky will fall if they lose their cousin Shen.

Marquis Pingyang also saw Pei Nanzhou, who still stood out in the crowd, and his feelings were somewhat complicated.

Originally, this was his child, but suddenly he became a royal descendant. Moreover, he felt that Nanzhou looked somewhat unfamiliar; it used to be indifferent and aloof, but now it possessed an indescribable aura.

Judging from Nan Zhou's attitude, he still can't let go of Yi Jie'er, right?

His only worry was that Dongge'er wouldn't be able to defeat Nanzhou in the future. After all, he was on the side of his own flesh and blood.

Meanwhile, Pei Dongzhou, who was "drunk," was helped out of the wedding hall. Once he was out of sight of everyone, he straightened up, his previous drunken state completely gone.

Qingzhu and Qingyun exchanged a glance. The young master was always scheming, even on his wedding night.

"Keep an eye on things at the wedding banquet, don't let anyone cause trouble. Even if the sky falls tonight, don't come looking for me." Pei Dongzhou said, strode confidently toward the bridal chamber.

Qingzhu and Qingyun laughed at the same time; their master was eager to see the madam.

After eating and drinking her fill, Shen Shuyi felt sleepy. She hadn't slept well last night, and being full made her drowsy, so she decided to take a nap.

A-Jian and Dai's mother both wanted to laugh when they saw this. It's only because the girl is carefree that she can still sleep on such a joyous day as her wedding.

Ironically, the young master arrived shortly after the girl fell asleep. His face darkened upon seeing the sleeping girl on the bed.

The two tacitly left the bridal chamber, wisely choosing not to disturb the newlyweds.
