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

Chapter 85 I will give my cousin a big gift!
Pei Dongzhou didn't move, because this was the first time he had hugged his cousin Shen.

Even when he and his cousin Shen slept in the same bed at Baixianglou last time, they had never embraced each other so intimately.

This time, he truly experienced how soft a girl's body could be. No wonder when his cousin Shen hid in Xizhou's arms last time, Xizhou's satisfied expression looked somewhat perverted...

Shen Shuyi clung tightly to Pei Dongzhou's waist, refusing to let go, simply because the system hadn't prompted her to complete the task.

Just then, the system came online, playing a new trick: [Impromptu Battleground Mission: Hold Pei Dongzhou and provoke Pei Nanzhou!]

Shen Shuyi secretly groaned; the system was getting more and more insane.

At this moment, Pei Dongzhou finally came to his senses and tried to pry her hands off.

Shen Shu hugged Pei Shizi tightly around the waist and spun him around again: "The moment I fell, I thought I would never see my cousin Shizi again..."

As she spoke, she peeked out and saw Pei Nanzhou standing in front of the cave, coldly watching her and Pei Dongzhou embrace.

She remembered the task assigned by the system, gave Pei Nanzhou a defiant look, and then revealed a smug smile, almost saying, "I'm going to seduce your prince brother!"

As expected, after she provoked him, she saw Pei Nanzhou's face darken.

If looks could kill, she would have been torn to pieces by Pei Nanzhou by now, wouldn't she?
It has to be said, being a villainous female supporting character isn't easy. Will Pei Nanzhou's affection for her drop to negative numbers?

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. The current mission progress is 40%]

Shen Shuyi was immediately overjoyed.

These two small tasks actually earned me 3 points, just like picking up money off the street.

Upon hearing Shen Shuyi's words, Pei Dongzhou hesitated whether to pat her head and comfort her. However, the woman slipped out of his embrace and said apologetically, "Please don't take offense, Cousin Prince. I was just a little overwhelmed by your excitement and lost my composure."

Pei Dongzhou noticed that her clothes were wet from his own sweat and looked away, saying, "I'm sorry I'm too late. I'm just glad my cousin is alright."

Shen Shuyi seemed to only then remember Pei Nanzhou, and said to Pei Dongzhou, "My second cousin injured his leg when he came down to save me and bled a lot. We need to take him to the hospital as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad if he develops a chronic illness."

Pei Dongzhou then remembered that there was such a person as Pei Nanzhou. It seemed that as long as his cousin Shen was around, his attention would be drawn to her.

He walked up to Pei Nanzhou and met his cold gaze.

Pei Dongzhou, assuming his leg injury was serious, didn't take his unusual behavior to heart and said calmly, "There are people waiting for you upstairs. I'll take you up first..."

"Send me up first, so that you and Cousin Shen can keep your affair here?"

Pei Nanzhou's sarcastic remarks caused Pei Dongzhou's expression to change.

He glanced at Shen Shuyi instinctively: "Cousin, go over there, Nanzhou and I have something to talk about..."

"Why did you send Cousin Shen away? Am I wrong? Do you know that this woman was fawning over me before you arrived? As soon as you came, she threw herself at you. Why do you still protect a woman like that?!" Pei Nanzhou was furious when he thought of the provocative look Shen Shuyi had given him before.

What he found most unacceptable was that Prince Pei had clearly never been interested in women before, so how could he allow his cousin Shen, this hypocritical woman, to keep getting close to him?

Prince Pei isn't blind, how could he not see that Cousin Shen's intention was to stir up conflict between the brothers?
Shen Shuyi, who had been eavesdropping nearby, couldn't help but chime in, "Before Cousin Shizi arrived, I did bandage Cousin Er's foot injury, but I was just afraid he would bleed to death." She would never fawn over Pei Nanzhou. If it weren't for the system assigning her a task, she would have avoided Pei Nanzhou altogether, okay?

Although she admitted that from Pei Nanzhou's perspective, it was normal for her to be promiscuous, that was not a reason for Pei Nanzhou to suddenly abandon her and return to the Marquis's residence first.

In short, she and Pei Nanzhou didn't get along at all, and if she had to do any missions in the future, she hoped they wouldn't involve Pei Nanzhou. However, she didn't have the power to decide such things.

Upon hearing this, Pei Dongzhou looked at Pei Nanzhou's injured foot and saw that the wound had been bandaged and tied in a bow.

"Cousin Shen kindly helped you bandage your wound, yet you're slandering her. Nan Zhou, this is wrong of you." Pei Dongzhou's usually gentle gaze turned sharp.

Pei Nanzhou sneered: "I slandered her? Didn't you see how Cousin Shen was provoking me just now? She's very pleased with herself for being able to manipulate us brothers!"

The most ridiculous thing is that Prince Pei is actually speaking up for such a hypocritical woman.

This time, Shen Shuyi was neither in the right nor in a strong position.

She doesn't admit to things she didn't do, but she can't easily refute things she did do.

Seeing that Prince Pei was looking over, she casually made up an excuse: "I admit that I did provoke my second cousin just now. Who told him to abandon me at Puji Temple and make me fall down the hillside? If I hadn't been lucky, I might be dead. I even bandaged him up without holding a grudge. If I had known he was such a heartless wretch, I wouldn't have cared about whether he lived or died!"

Pei Nanzhou sneered. This woman was sharp-tongued; he couldn't out-argue her.

If nothing unexpected happens, Prince Pei will probably think he was wrong again, right?
As expected, Pei Dongzhou's expression turned cold as he reassured Shen Shuyi, "Nanzhou was indeed wrong to abandon his cousin. I will make him suffer the consequences of his actions!"

Pei Nanzhou hadn't expected the young master Pei to be so ruthless. Receiving family punishment would inevitably lead to more bloodshed.

His gaze fell on Shen Shuyi's face: "Are you satisfied, Cousin Shen?"

Shen Shuyi met Pei Nanzhou's cold gaze and suddenly had the illusion of being stared at by a venomous snake.

On her way back to the Marquis's residence, she carefully recalled whether Pei Nanzhou had turned evil in the original novel. But no matter how hard she tried, all she could remember was that Pei Beizhou, this gloomy man, had done many things to imprison the female lead.

Pei Nanzhou has always been the ascetic type...

She was preoccupied with her thoughts the whole way. As soon as she got off the carriage, Pei Nanzhou suddenly came forward to help her and gave her a gentle smile.

She only felt that Pei Nanzhou's smile was particularly eerie. He whispered in her ear like a devil, "After I finish receiving the family punishment, I will give my cousin a big gift. At that time, my cousin will definitely be grateful to her cousin!"

Shen Shuyi turned to look at Pei Nanzhou, her eyes meeting his handsome face. A gleam of excitement flickered in the man's cool eyes, the kind of look one has when eyeing prey.

No way, Pei Er really turned evil just because she provoked him?

Even if she's going to turn evil, it should be because of the female lead, right? How could it be related to this villainous supporting female character?

Just as she was filled with doubt and surprise, Pei Er suddenly reached out and patted her on the head: "Cousin, just wait for the surprise your cousin has in store for you. I will definitely not disappoint you."
