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

Chapter 55: Cover her mouth and dislocate her arm...

The madam quickly explained to Prince Pei, "Haitang is just shy. Please wait a moment, Your Highness, and I'll urge her again."

Pei Dongzhou was enjoying the cat-and-mouse game, and was in a good mood. He said gently, "Don't scare her, take it slow."

The madam was a woman of many ways, but faced with Prince Pei's gentle smile, her heart began to race uncontrollably, and she felt as if she had fallen in love.

Pei Xizhou, who was spying from a distance, also saw the smile on Pei Shizi's face. He really couldn't understand what Haitang had done to deserve pleasing the most troublesome Pei Shizi.

He knew Pei Shizi well; on the surface, he appeared gentle and refined, but in reality, he was a cold-blooded and ruthless monster.

Many women want to seduce Prince Pei, but none of them even have the chance to get close to him. Yet today, Prince Pei took the initiative to see Haitang, and he even acted like a hunter.

Did something happen that he doesn't know about?
He wanted to see today what would happen between Pei Dongzhou and Haitang. If Haitang could take away Pei Dongzhou's virginity, that would be interesting.

The madam was almost captivated by Pei Dongzhou's good looks. It took her a while to remember her business. She knocked on the door harder, saying, "Haitang, open the door quickly! Don't keep our esteemed guest waiting!"

Pretending to be dead, Shen Shuyi deliberately lowered her voice: "Mom, I really can't see the important person right now. My face is covered with rashes, and I'm afraid they might spread. Please ask the important person to find another girl to serve him."

She even considered jumping out of the window, but she couldn't; she had to stay at Baixianglou.

The madam never expected her to be so clueless.

She looked at Prince Pei, unsure of what to do.

Prince Pei, ever good-natured, said, "Tell Miss Haitang that I've come here because of her reputation, and that I only want her tonight. Just tell her to open the door."

Shen Shuyi, who was eavesdropping from inside the door, pursed her lips tightly.

What kind of nonsense is this? She could hear everything he said, so why did she need the madam to relay the message?

The next moment, she heard the madam say, "The nobleman has taken a liking to you and doesn't care whether the rash on your face is contagious or not. You just need to open the door and welcome the guest!"

Shen Shuyi felt like dying whenever she heard the phrase "open the door to welcome guests".

She's not a girl from this Baixianglou, so why should she open the door to welcome any guests?

What's wrong with Prince Pei? Does he really have to go against her?
She clearly remembered that Prince Pei was not interested in women, and he had asked about Su Su's whereabouts before. Could it be that Pei Dongzhou suspected her and was deliberately making things difficult for her?
"Mom, please tell the important person that they are of noble status. If something happens to me, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the responsibility," Shen Shuyi continued in her desperate attempt to persuade him.

The madam never expected that even after all this, Haitang still wouldn't know how to seize the opportunity.

A girl who sells herself at Baixianglou actually dares to repeatedly refuse the requests of important people to meet her, which is really something!

Pei Xizhou, who was not far away, also felt that this was not the kind of reaction a girl from Baixianglou should have.

The girls at Baixianglou entertain guests every day. When she served that man before, Haitang didn't make any excuses. Why does she hide and refuse to see Pei Shizi as soon as she meets him?
Furthermore, since Prince Pei is so insistent on having Haitang, could there be something wrong with Haitang?

He thought carefully about Haitang, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find anything special about her.

But today, that person seemed to have some interest in Haitang as well, and it wasn't until Haitang sat down next to him that he dismissed her.

"Haitang, open the door quickly, this is an order!!" The madam stopped being polite and pounded on the door.

Seeing this, Pei Dongzhou said gently, "Don't frighten Miss Haitang, be gentle. Is it because I'm not presentable enough for Miss Haitang to see me?"

The madam hurriedly said, "Of course not! Young master, please step aside, I'll have someone break down the door!" "How can that be?" Pei Dongzhou said this, but he stepped aside to let the madam make her move.

Shen Shuyi paced anxiously inside the room. She knew she was likely doomed tonight, so she figured she might as well be polite and open the door first. If she really angered Prince Pei, he might actually kick her out of the Marquis's residence.

She felt that going head-to-head with Prince Pei would be pointless, but Prince Pei seemed to fall for the self-inflicted injury tactic.

Even if he discovers her identity, if she tries to stay in his bed like she did last time, maybe he'll let her off the hook?
With this uncertainty in mind, Shen Shuyi carefully opened the door bolt.

Just as the madam was about to send someone to break down the door, she saw the door open and the "Begonia" girl, wearing a veil, finally appeared.

She was furious and grabbed the woman's arm, pinching it hard.

Shen Shuyi was shocked by the madam's sudden change of attitude; she gasped in pain.

Pei Dongzhou saw the madam's scheming and shouted coldly, "Who gave you permission to touch her? Let her go!"

The madam met Pei Dongzhou's icy gaze. His face, which was still gentle and refined, seemed to have transformed into a demon from hell in an instant. She was so frightened that she immediately withdrew her hand.

Shen Shuyi rubbed her arm, which had been pinched so hard by the madam. Pei Dongzhou, who had seen this clearly, said to the madam, "You dare touch my woman, you old hag?!"

The madam frowned upon hearing this. She was clearly not even thirty years old and was as beautiful as a flower. How could she be seen as an old hag in Prince Pei's eyes?

“Hit her back the way she pinched you!” Pei Dongzhou suddenly said to Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi glanced at the madam beside her and lowered her voice: "There's no need for that..."

Pei Xizhou, who was secretly watching from the side, found this scene quite novel. The young master Pei would actually stand up for a girl from Baixiang Pavilion? Is it raining blood now?

Just as he thought Prince Pei had lost his mind, Prince Pei suddenly looked at his position and said calmly, "Xizhou, you take action!"

Pei Xizhou was surprised that the young master Pei knew he was hiding here; he thought he had hidden himself very well.

But since Prince Pei had called out his name, he could no longer hide it and could only step forward and ask, "What is so good about Haitang that makes my brother protect her like this?"

Pei Dongzhou's expression was indifferent; just by quietly watching Pei Xizhou, he felt immense pressure.

He had no choice but to take matters into his own hands; otherwise, Prince Pei, who was not careful with his strength, could easily kill his men with one hand.

Pei Xizhou went up to the madam, his face devoid of any smile. He covered her mouth with one hand and easily dislocated her arm with the other.

The madam screamed in pain, but Pei Xizhou covered her mouth with his hand.

Through the veil, Shen Shuyi could only vaguely see Pei Xizhou's ruthless attack. When she heard the madam's painful groans as Pei Xizhou covered her mouth, she immediately got goosebumps.

She was oversimplifying things. This was ancient society, and this was a brothel; anything could happen.

Even though the madam was nominally the manager of the brothel, in the eyes of the Pei brothers, she was less than an ant.

In the original novel, even Pei San, who seems to be a womanizer, is a ruthless character who kills without blinking an eye.
