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

Chapter 266 He's dead, she won't allow him to find a second spring.

She was somewhat surprised to see a table full of her favorite dishes.

A-Jian smiled and explained to her master, "The young master instructed Mama Dai to prepare some dishes that the young lady likes, without having to consider the young master's taste. The young master also said that whatever the young lady likes to eat, the young master will eat, and everything will be for the young lady's sake."

Shen Shuyi smiled, quite enjoying the feeling of being pampered.

She felt that Pei Dongzhou was good in every way off the bed, except in bed.

Coincidentally, Pei Dongzhou thought his cousin was perfect, especially off-bed. But she was a little spoiled on the bed.

The couple harbored their own secrets, but outwardly they appeared to have no conflict and were very loving.

When A-Jian and Dai's mother saw the golden couple sitting together, their faces were filled with smiles.

Shen Shuyi had assumed that Pei Dongzhou would have already eaten by this time, but she was somewhat surprised to see him eating with her: "Cousin hasn't had lunch yet?"

"I was worried that my wife might feel lonely having lunch alone, so I decided to wait for her to join me," Pei Dongzhou said with a gentle laugh. "Was my wife touched by my gesture?"

Shen Shuyi was initially touched, but Pei Shizi's extra words only elicited a soft sigh from her.

She was engrossed in eating when Pei Dongzhou suddenly came over and sat down next to her.

Shen Shuyi turned to look at him, wondering what kind of trouble he was up to now.

"May I exchange a bowl of rice with my wife?" Pei Dongzhou stared intently at Shen Shuyi's rice bowl.

Shen Shuyi looked at her bowl of rice, which she had just eaten several bites of. Wasn't this the same food? She really didn't understand why Pei Dongzhou wanted to exchange meals with her.

Seemingly noticing her confusion, Pei Dongzhou explained, "Cousin, this bowl seems even more delicious."

Shen Shuyi's expression was indescribable. She hoped that Pei Shizi didn't find the food delicious just because she had eaten it.

She smiled insincerely and said, "A-Jian, remember the first family rule: when eating, Prince Pei and I cannot stand too close; we must be at least three feet apart!"

A-Jian quickly agreed.

Seeing Pei Dongzhou's stiff expression, Shen Shu nodded slightly: "Cousin, could you sit three feet away from me?"

Pei Dongzhou looked slightly embarrassed, but obediently moved away from her.

Even though he felt that his cousin was perfect in every way, she also had her bad points, such as being too cold-blooded towards him, her husband.

After this battle, Pei Dongzhou never dared to cause trouble again.

On the day of the bride's return visit, Pei Dongzhou took Shen Shuyi to the Li residence early in the morning.

Shen Shuyi's happiness was obvious to the naked eye, simply because Pei Dongzhou didn't touch her that night and behaved very well the whole night, allowing her to sleep peacefully.

In addition, Prince Pei was very considerate to her, so she felt that as long as the man she married was not in a state of estrus, he was truly perfect.

Li Yun and Madam Liang had been waiting at the door since early morning. When they saw the Pei family's carriage arrive, the couple were quite impatient.

With Pei Dongzhou's help, Shen Shuyi got off the carriage and rushed over happily the moment she saw Xiao Liangshi.

"This child is already married, why is she still so impetuous?" Although Madam Liang muttered this, she looked at Shen Shuyi with particularly loving eyes.

She pulled Shen Shuyi around in a circle and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's obvious at a glance that the daughter is doing very well after getting married.

Li Yun asked Pei Dongzhou some questions, and Pei Dongzhou answered them politely one by one. Li Yun had to admit that Pei Dongzhou was indeed someone who was hard to dislike.

Her daughter had a good eye. Madam Liang asked Shen Shuyi some questions about her daily life, and Shen Shuyi answered them one by one: "My cousin, the young master, is good in every way. He listens to me in everything, except..."

She almost let it slip, but thankfully she stopped herself in time.

"What is it?" Little Liang asked curiously.

Shen Shuyi quickly came up with an excuse: "It's just that sometimes I'm too authoritarian."

Upon hearing this, Madam Liang breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that it was normal for a man like Pei Dongzhou to be autocratic, after all, he was the heir of a marquis's mansion, and it was already rare for him to listen to his daughter in everything.

"Does Dongzhou really listen to everything you say?" Madam Liang found it hard to believe that Pei Dongzhou would be so obedient to his daughter.

Shen Shuyi recalled the nonsense Pei Dongzhou had said and chuckled, "Most of the time he listens to me."

Upon hearing this, Madam Liang shook her head: "Although I also hope that you will have a good life after marriage, you can't be too domineering towards men. You need to be both firm and gentle, and know how to manage your husband."

Shen Shuyi thought to herself that if Pei Dongzhou were to become too gentle, he would probably be showing off his peacock feathers every day.

"I don't care about controlling my cousin. Don't worry, Mother, my cousin and I are very close. Sometimes I just worry that we might be too close," she said with a forced smile.

After pondering for a while, Ms. Liang immediately understood what was going on.

She's been through it all; it's normal for newlyweds to be a little clingy and affectionate.

She was only worried about one other thing.

"You still need to be careful. Although Dongzhou said he wouldn't take a concubine, you never know what the future holds. If one day he finds a new love, you'll have to find a way to win him back..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuyi immediately straightened her back: "A man with ulterior motives is better off without. If my cousin finds a new love, let him be. I'll go find my second spring too—"

"What second spring?! Madam is dreaming!!" Pei Dongzhou and Li Yun had just entered when they heard Shen Shuyi talking about looking for a second spring.

So this woman didn't settle down after marrying him, and is still thinking about having a second spring?

He rushed to Shen Shuyi, about to continue questioning her, when he suddenly remembered that they were at the Li family home, and his parents-in-law were present. He needed to maintain his image as a refined gentleman.

He forced a smile and said to Shen Shuyi, "Cousin, you must not have such improper thoughts. Now that you have married me, you will be my wife for life, and there is no way you can have a second spring."

He's dead, and she's not allowed to find a second spring.

Shen Shuyi gave Pei Dongzhou a fake smile: "Yes, yes, cousin is right. But, just now my mother and I were talking about what would happen if cousin had a new love..."

“That’s impossible! I get annoyed just seeing other women, how could I possibly have a new love?” Pei Dongzhou thought the assumption was absurd.

How much energy does he have? He doesn't even have enough time for his cousin, let alone have the extra energy to find a new love.

Furthermore, are there any other women as cute and intelligent as my cousin?

Having seen the best, nothing else catches his eye.

Li Yun and Madam Liang exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat relieved that Pei Dongzhou was unlikely to find a new lover in his current state.

Because of Shen Shuyi's strong insistence, the couple stayed at the Li residence for one night and only planned to return to the Marquis's residence the next day.

When Madam Liang saw Shen Shuyi off at the door, she repeatedly told her that if she suffered any grievances, she must go back to her parents' home.

Knowing her mother's reluctance to part with her, Shen Shuyi readily agreed.
