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

Chapter 282 The male lead is really not serious!
"Don't worry, Mother, I understand," Shen Shuyi replied obediently.

Zhang looked at Shen Shuyi with complicated emotions. The more she looked at this daughter-in-law, the more satisfied she became, but she just had too many suitors.

Before the trip, she specifically asked Dong Ge'er not to bring Yi Jie'er out, but she was worried that Pei Nanzhou would target her.

Dongge'er clearly had the same concerns, but he still respected Yijie'er's wishes and took her along.

“On this hunting trip, some people may try to befriend you, so you must be discerning. Also, you should always be wary of others; no matter who it is, you should be cautious,” Zhang added, still concerned.

Shen Shuyi listened quietly and obediently agreed.

Zhang felt more and more that this daughter-in-law was quite good, and that Dong-ge'er had excellent taste.

She used to think that Yi Jie'er was not mature enough, but since they got married, Yi Jie'er has been learning to manage the household from her. She found that Yi Jie'er was quick to understand things and could consider many details that she had never thought of.

Pei Dongzhou waited outside the tent for a while, and seeing that Shen Shuyi had not come out yet, he went directly into the tent: "Mother, I'm taking my cousin to the hunting grounds for a stroll."

Zhang said irritably, "Fine, fine, go ahead."

They've just gotten married, and they want to be together all the time.

Her eldest son wasn't like this before. He used to be so steady, but now he only wants to be with Yi-jie all day long. She hardly recognizes her eldest son anymore.

Shen Shuyi was pulled out of the tent by Pei Dongzhou, and she shook off his hand in annoyance: "Can you not act like this in front of Mother?"

It should be noted that Lady Zhang is the mother of Prince Pei. Seeing her son and daughter-in-law so close, Lady Zhang is very likely to be jealous.

"What's wrong with wanting to be with my wife?" Pei Dongzhou said dismissively.

"Oh, right, my cousin the young master gave me a carriage. I should also make a more comfortable carriage for my mother. We can't be biased." Shen Shuyi remembered this important matter.

Upon hearing this, Pei Dongzhou patted her head and said, "Not bad, you actually know how to be filial to your mother?"

“I married my cousin, the Crown Prince. Isn’t his mother my mother too? It’s only right that I be filial. My cousin can’t forget his own mother just because he has a wife.” Shen Shuyi slapped Pei Dongzhou’s hand away.

Pei Dongzhou smiled, feeling very lucky to have married such a good wife as his cousin.

“I know, Sun Wang is already working on it, but there’s not enough time. This time, we’ve finished making a carriage for Madam first. After this spring hunt, Mother’s carriage should be finished too.” Pei Dongzhou couldn’t contain his emotions and embraced Shen Shuyi. “I must have accumulated a lot of good karma in my past life to be able to marry Madam.”

Shen Shuyi whispered a reminder: "Someone is peeping, let me go right now."

The camp was filled with noble ladies and wives of noble birth from the capital, and their every move was being watched by everyone. Don't think she didn't know; the moment she and Pei Dongzhou left the camp, all the noble ladies and wives of noble birth in the vicinity were secretly spying on them.

Pei Dongzhou is still holding her like this; who knows, this matter will spread throughout the hunting grounds in the blink of an eye.

Pei Dongzhou affectionately touched Shen Shuyi's forehead, then took her hand, intending to take her horseback riding.

Pei Xizhou also came this time. He saw Shen Shuyi and Pei Dongzhou holding hands from afar, and all he felt was envy and jealousy towards Pei Dongzhou.

Just then, Pei Nanzhou's figure came into his view.

Seeing that Pei Nanzhou kept staring at his cousin, he felt that anyone who wasn't blind could see what Pei Nanzhou was thinking, since Pei Nanzhou didn't even bother to pretend.

He walked slowly to Pei Nanzhou, blocking his gaze from his cousin: "How have you been lately, Second Brother?"

The two were of similar height, just enough to block Pei Nanzhou's view. Pei Nanzhou found Pei Xizhou an eyesore and simply pushed him away. But in that short time, Pei Dongzhou and Shen Shuyi had already walked far away.

Just as he was about to chase after her, Pei Xizhou blocked his way again: "Second brother, why do you have to upset your cousin like this?"

No one will like Pei Nanzhou this way.

"I just want to be happy." Pei Nanzhou said dismissively, pushing Pei Xizhou aside and quickly following after him.

Seeing this, Pei Xizhou simply followed behind him and walked over as well.

He still hoped that his cousin could live a carefree life with Pei Dongzhou, instead of being harassed by Pei Nanzhou in such an unreasonable and rude manner.

Seeing that Pei Xizhou was still haunting him, Pei Nanzhou calmly said, "I rarely have the chance to see my cousin, so what's wrong with taking a few more glances? Unlike you, I don't live in the Marquis's mansion and can see my cousin anytime, anywhere to ease my longing."

Pei Xizhou: ...

It's not surprising that such bizarre remarks came from the mouth of the selfish and self-serving Pei Er.

If we're talking about the most two-faced of the Pei brothers, it's not Pei Da, but Pei Nanzhou. On the surface, he seems indifferent to worldly desires, but as soon as he encounters something he likes, he'll turn on you without hesitation.

Being liked by Pei Nanzhou is the worst luck my cousin could ever have.

“No matter what you do, second brother, I will never like you. I like eldest brother, and second brother should be able to tell that.” Pei Xizhou said calmly.

If his cousin liked him even a little bit, he would do everything in his power to compete with Pei Dongzhou.

"If my cousin likes me, that would be the icing on the cake. If she doesn't like me, that's fine too. I like her, so what does it matter?" As Pei Nanzhou was speaking, he saw Pei Dongzhou take Shen Shuyi and mount his horse, heading into the forest.

Seeing this, he immediately waved, and Qingfeng led the horse over.

Pei Xizhou seized the opportunity to snatch the horse and leaped onto it, saying, "Thank you for borrowing my second brother's horse."

Pei Nanzhou watched Pei Xizhou's departing figure without getting annoyed.

He then had Qingfeng bring another horse and chased after them into the mountains.

Meanwhile, Pei Dongzhou took Shen Shuyi and mounted his horse, galloping into the mountains and forests. Suddenly, he laughed, as if he had thought of something.

Shen Shuyi turned to look at him: "What are you laughing at, cousin?"

"I suddenly remembered the time when Madam ran away, and I caught her and threw her onto a horse." Pei Dongzhou's lips curled into a smile.

Shen Shuyi recalled that there was such a thing.

That being said, he's laughing so happily, could it be that he's thinking about something unspeakable?
Sure enough, the next moment, Pei Dongzhou whispered something in her ear, making her so embarrassed that she elbowed him: "You scoundrel!"

This man's head is full of lewd nonsense. Even after all this time, all he remembers is that line she said when she was playing the victim: "Shameless!"
“My lady is truly a feast for the eyes, and I cannot blame myself for this.” Pei Dongzhou held the reins in one hand, while the other hand roamed over Shen Shuyi’s body.

Shen Shuyi couldn't help but roll her eyes: "My life is still in my cousin's hands, can you please stop thinking about those messy things?"

Now she understands why the original novel is considered an unserious story; it's mainly because the male lead is genuinely unserious.
