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

Chapter 49 Extreme Mission: Become the Top Courtesan at Bai Xiang Lou!

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi.

Pei Dongzhou had entered Heshou Hall earlier and happened to hear the old lady and Pei Nanzhou talking about the third son.

He also wanted to observe Shen Shuyi's reaction, so he simply stood quietly to the side.

When he saw Shen Shuyi's intense reaction, he immediately understood. If there were no surprises, Su Su was indeed Shen Shuyi; otherwise, this woman wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

Not only Pei Dongzhou was convinced of this, but Pei Nanzhou shared the same thought.

He was deliberately testing Shen Shuyi, catching her off guard. And now, the result is clear?

Shen Shuyi belatedly realized that Pei Dongzhou had arrived, and from the all-knowing look in Pei Dongzhou's eyes when he looked at her, she knew that she had given herself away.

For a moment, her mind went blank. Then she thought, even if she went to Baixianglou to dance, Pei Nanzhou and Pei Dongzhou still had no evidence, right?
If that's the case, what is there for her to panic about?

Even if they believe she is Su Su, she just needs to deny it to the death.

Seeing Shen Shuyi's stiff expression, the old lady assumed she was flustered because of her rudeness and quickly comforted her, "You child, how can you choke on water?"

Shen Shuyi had recovered by then, and looked slightly embarrassed: "It was my fault, please don't laugh at me, Grandmother."

"It's alright, we're all family."

Pei Xizhou couldn't stand seeing the old lady protecting Shen Shuyi like this: "A breach of etiquette is a breach of etiquette. Grandmother can't always protect my cousin like this. If she behaves improperly in her husband's family after she gets married, people will say that our Pei family didn't raise her well."

Pei Nanzhou smiled upon seeing this.

If one day Xizhou learns that his cousin Shen is the Su Su he is looking for, how will he react when he recalls what he said today?
"There's no need for Third Cousin to worry about this. If I get married, my husband will definitely spoil and pamper me. No matter how bad I am, he will still like me." Shen Shuyi couldn't help but retort.

But she regretted it after replying. After all, Pei Xizhou's favorability towards her was very low. Why couldn't she control her mouth?

"You're not even married yet, and you keep calling me 'husband,' aren't you ashamed?" Pei Xizhou naturally wouldn't tolerate Shen Shuyi's behavior and retorted without any mercy.

The old lady couldn't stand Pei Xizhou bullying her precious granddaughter: "You're supposed to be the older brother, can't you give way to Sister Yi? I'm still here and you're bullying her like this. When I can't see you, are you going to cause a huge uproar?!"

Pei Xizhou couldn't disobey the old lady, so he could only glare at Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi told herself not to stoop to the male lead's level. Once she completed her mission, she wouldn't need to be mindful of his feelings anymore.

For now, let's just bear with it as much as possible.

She decided to be a quiet, beautiful girl and wouldn't respond no matter how Pei Xizhou provoked her. However, with the old lady present, Pei Xizhou didn't dare to ridicule her.

She waited until the Pei brothers left Heshou Hall before leaving herself.

No sooner had she returned to Fusangin than the system started causing trouble again:
[Triggered Ultimate Mission: Host must serve as the top courtesan at Bai Xiang Lou for one day, limited to ten days!]

Shen Shuyi's expression went blank for two seconds. She was thinking about what would happen if the Pei family members became the top courtesan at Baixiang Pavilion, or if some powerful or noble lady who knew her found out that she had debuted at Baixiang Pavilion and then spread the news to the old lady's ears. What if the old lady got so worried that she became ill?
This isn't modern times, this is ancient times. She asked weakly, "System, do you have to force me like this?"

[Host, complete the mission as soon as possible to escape the fate of being a cannon fodder, dying young female supporting character! Host, you can do it!!]

Shen Shuyi knew that completing the task sooner would allow her to escape her current predicament, but she wanted a more normal task, right?
Fine, I'll just do as the system says.

Since things have already come to this point, as long as she works hard and is careful enough, she won't let anyone hear the news.

The most tragic thing is that Pei Nanzhou and Pei Dongzhou have already confirmed that she is Su Su, right? If she appears as Su Su again, won't they find out that she ran into Bai Xiang Lou?
Therefore, she can no longer go to Baixianglou under the identity of Susu. In order to make things simpler, she has to change her identity and sneak into Baixianglou.

With only ten days left, she didn't have time to haggle with the system; completing the task was the priority.

She immediately decided to leave the Marquis's residence and seek help from Sun Wang.

To her surprise, when she went to find the coachman, she discovered that Xia Nianchu was also there.

Xia Nianchu gritted her teeth in hatred the moment she saw Shen Shuyi.

Last night, the person she had bribed was thrown into her room. His limbs were broken. She was so shocked when she saw it that she almost choked. She knew this was her cousin, the Crown Prince, warning her.

It was clearly Shen Shuyi who conspired with her to drug her cousin, so why did Shen Shuyi get closer and closer to him, while he accused her of being the real culprit who drugged him?

“For the foreseeable future, this carriage will be at my disposal. If Cousin Shen wishes to use the carriage, I’m afraid I cannot help you.” With no one else around, Xia Nianchu made no attempt to hide her malice towards Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi also noticed the vicious look in Xia Nianchu's eyes when she looked at her. She just wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible and didn't want to get entangled with Xia Nianchu, the female lead.

Xia Nianchu walked to her side and whispered, "Your Highness will only be mine. Cousin, don't even think about getting him."

“Yes, yes, yes, not only does the Crown Prince belong to his cousin, but the second, third, and fourth cousins ​​also belong to his cousin. As long as his cousin is happy.” Shen Shuyi said, taking A-Jian with her, and prepared to walk out.

She didn't want to ask anyone else in the household for help, for fear that people would see her and Sun Wang's relationship.

Fortunately, the Marquis's residence was located in a bustling area, only a few miles away from the alley where Sun Wang lived, so there was no need to worry about encountering bad people when going out during the day.

With the veil on, she felt incredibly safe.

Three-quarters of an hour later, she found Sun Wang and explained her purpose.

She didn't want to drag A-Jian into this, so she deliberately sent her away.

Sun Wang was shocked when he heard her plan: "Miss, you must not do such a foolish thing. If people find out that you have become the top courtesan at Baixiang Pavilion, how will you ever get married? I'm most afraid that if word gets back to the Marquis's mansion, you will be kicked out of the mansion."

“I know, but I have important business to attend to. I absolutely must be the top courtesan at Bai Xiang Lou for a day. This is a must, and I cannot afford to fail! Also, the original plan for that dress has changed. I’ve decided to wear that dress myself to give our clothing store free advertising!” Shen Shuyi said enthusiastically.

Her original intention was to attract the attention of the elite ladies in Beijing, making them scramble for her dress and creating a frenzy, thus generating a sensation for their clothing store.

Now she feels that going to Baixianglou will allow her to complete her task while also advertising for the clothing store, killing two birds with one stone, so why not?
