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

Chapter 80 The Prince's Fingers Itched Slightly: Obedient and Soft Cousin Shen, Slapping Cousin Xia
Shen Shuyi's eyes lit up. This task was perfect; it suited her perfectly.

Just then, Pei Xizhou and Pei Dongzhou also came out of Heshou Hall. Well, all four tall, long-legged male leads have arrived. The system is clearly confirming her identity as the villainous female supporting character!

She had previously checked the affection levels of the four male leads towards her, and the most dangerous one was Pei Beizhou's affection level, which was currently -50%.

As for Pei Nanzhou's favorability towards her, it's currently at 10%.

Pei Xizhou's favorability towards her was -80%, while Pei Dongzhou's favorability towards her suddenly reached 20%.

Why is Pei Beizhou's favorability rating the most dangerous? Simply because Pei Beizhou is completely infatuated with Xia Nianchu. She slapped Pei Beizhou's goddess, wouldn't Pei Beizhou kill her?

But since the system had assigned her the task, she had to complete it despite her concerns.

Seeing that the four Pei brothers were all looking at her, and Xia Nianchu also had tears in her eyes, looking at her pitifully, she smiled and said, "Cousin Xia, come here for a moment."

When Xia Nianchu saw Shen Shuyi suddenly smile, her hand trembled, and she inexplicably felt that Shen Shuyi's smile was particularly frightening.

She couldn't help but move closer to Pei Beizhou, as if Pei Beizhou could give her enough sense of security.

When Pei Dongzhou saw Xia Nianchu approaching Pei Beizhou, he was reminded of something Shen Shuyi had done before.

So, Cousin Xia is also scheming, but her behavior is much more affected than Cousin Shen's.

If it were Cousin Shen doing this, her eyes would be innocent, unlike Cousin Xia whose eyes are full of scheming and ruthlessness.

"Didn't you want me to apologize? If Cousin Xia isn't coming, then I'm leaving." Shen Shuyi smiled innocently.

Xia Nianchu orchestrated this whole thing to see Shen Shuyi humiliated in front of her cousins, especially since the young master cousin was also there. Naturally, she didn't want to miss the opportunity to make Shen Shuyi lose face.

She shrugged off Pei Beizhou and timidly approached Shen Shuyi: "If you feel uncomfortable, cousin..."

"Why would I be in a difficult position?" Shen Shuyi beckoned to Xia Nianchu, "Come, come!"

Xia Nianchu was suspicious, but she still approached Shen Shuyi step by step.

Shen Shuyi patiently waited for Xia Nianchu to come over, already itching for a fight.

Xia Nianchu approached Shen Shuyi, her eyes timid: "Cousin Shen, you didn't bump into me on purpose..."

Before she could even begin her witty remarks, Shen Shuyi slapped her across the face.

No one expected Shen Shuyi to make a move, including Xia Nianchu herself.

She was stunned by the blow, but Shen Shuyi didn't give her a chance to react. He slapped her face several times with both hands.

Just as Shen Shuyi was fanning herself vigorously, the system excitedly logged in: [Host, well done! Excellent! You've made the female lead scream! Congratulations on completing the mission. The current mission progress is 35%!]

Shen Shuyi's eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt that the system was actually quite good.

Not only did it give her a chance to vent her anger, it also made her beat up the person who framed her, and the system even thought she did the right thing.

I must say, this is a great system!
Pei Beizhou finally reacted and rushed over to shove Shen Shuyi away. His force was so great that he almost knocked her over. Just as Shen Shuyi thought she was about to embarrass herself, a hand braced herself behind her waist, forcefully straightening her body.

Seeing that she had regained her footing, the man casually withdrew his hand. It was none other than Prince Pei.
She gave Pei Dongzhou a grateful look, but Pei Dongzhou didn't even glance at her, as if he wasn't the one who had just helped her.

Pei Dongzhou looked at Pei Beizhou and gently reprimanded him: "Whatever misunderstandings may have occurred between Cousin Shen and Cousin Xia, they should resolve them themselves. Beizhou, it is inappropriate for you to lay a hand on Cousin Shen."

"So it's justified for her to hit Nianchu?! This vile woman dared to do such a thing to Nianchu in front of everyone. Who knows how she would bully Nianchu when no one is around!" Pei Beizhou retorted angrily.

"My fourth and second cousins ​​made me apologize to Cousin Xia, but I clearly didn't push her. Why should I apologize to Cousin Xia for something I didn't do? My two cousins ​​insisted that I apologize, so I had no choice but to hit her to confirm what happened. Here, I want to say sorry to Cousin Xia, I did it on purpose!" Shen Shuyi replied with a forced smile.

Xia Nianchu clenched her fists in anger, but she had to maintain her composure in front of her four cousins, so she could only grit her teeth and bear it.

"Why must you humiliate me like this, Cousin Shen? I already said, if you—"

"Alright, alright, don't give me that sweet talk. I'm not some idiot like Pei Beizhou..." Shen Shuyi blurted out, earning a sharp glare from Pei Beizhou.

Pei Xizhou couldn't help but chuckle. Why did he find Shen's vengeful nature quite appealing?

"Alright, you guys continue, I'm going back." Shen Shuyi turned to leave.

However, Pei Nanzhou couldn't stand her arrogant and domineering attitude, as if she didn't respect anyone.

“Cousin Shen, you must remember that this is the Marquis’s residence. Your actions will affect the marriages of the other young ladies in the Marquis’s residence. It’s fine if you can’t get married yourself, since that’s exactly what you want. But if you dare to implicate the other young ladies in the Marquis’s residence, I will not let you off the hook!” Pei Nanzhou said coldly.

Shen Shuyi didn't even glance at Pei Nanzhou, but walked straight up to Pei Dongzhou and said obediently, "Cousin, I'll head back now."

Seeing her obedient and sensible appearance, Pei Dongzhou felt a slight itch in his fingers and suddenly wanted to pat her head...

"Don't take Nanzhou's words to heart. You are you, and the other young ladies in the Marquis's mansion are other young ladies. With Grandmother here, no one will dare to bully or humiliate you." Pei Dongzhou said, his gentle gaze sweeping over Xia Nianchu, Pei Beizhou, and Pei Nanzhou.

Pei Nanzhou wanted to say something, but under Pei Dongzhou's intense gaze, he finally shut his mouth.

Only after Shen Shuyi had walked away did Xia Nianchu burst into tears of anger. Because Pei Dongzhou hadn't left, she didn't dare tell Pei Beizhou about her grievances. She had clearly intended to frame Shen Shuyi, so how come she ended up being the one slapped ten times, yet still received a secret warning from her cousin, the Crown Prince?

Pei Beizhou disliked Pei Dongzhou and quickly left with Xia Nianchu.

Finally, only Pei Nanzhou and Pei Dongzhou remained standing facing each other. Pei Nanzhou spoke first: "When did you become so sentimental, elder brother? Or do you think that cousin Shen did the right thing today?"

"I'm also curious, when did you become so sharp-tongued, especially so harsh on Cousin Shen?" Pei Dongzhou asked calmly. "Nanzhou, you weren't like this before."

Pei Nanzhou used to be so upright and honest, but now he has become so unreasonable, seizing on Shen's minor mistakes and biting her like a dog.

Pei Nanzhou paused for a moment before saying, "I admit that I don't like Cousin Shen. She disrupted our peaceful life, to the point that I can't stand her at all."

It cannot be denied that he acted impulsively just now.

　Hoo hoo, it's Monday again!
