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

Chapter 90 My cousin is nothing but a pitiful creature living in the Marquis's mansion, yet she dares to dream of climbing the social ladder.

Shen Shuyi's pupils contracted slightly, realizing that she had underestimated Pei Nanzhou's level of perversion.

She only wanted to use this love letter to stop Pei Nanzhou from continuing to search for her secrets, but she didn't expect Pei Nanzhou to make such a big deal out of it.

For her, it was just a little embarrassing, but not a huge loss.

But she was raised by the old lady. It doesn't matter if she loses face, but the old lady will lose face.

“If my cousin really does that, my grandmother will be upset. I don’t think there’s anything shameful about liking someone, but my cousin’s behavior is really not admirable.” Shen Shuyi made no attempt to hide her dislike for Pei Nanzhou.

Pei Nanzhou thought Shen Shuyi would be very excited, or cry and beg him to let her go, but he never expected her reaction to be so indifferent.

“My cousin is nothing but a pitiful worm living in the Marquis’s mansion. She dares to dream of climbing the social ladder. Is that not shameful?” Pei Nanzhou truly looked down on Shen Shuyi from the bottom of his heart.

People should have self-awareness, but Cousin Shen has no sense of shame whatsoever.

He would never forget the scene at the foot of the hill when she threw herself into Pei Dongzhou's arms in front of him, showing off her power.

"It's not my fault that my mother died young, nor is it my fault that I'm all alone. Although I'm living in the Marquis's mansion, I'm pampered by my maternal grandmother, so how can I be pitiful? I don't think it's shameful to like someone of higher status than myself. Do whatever you want, cousin. I'll take care of my maternal grandmother. You can do as you please," Shen Shuyi replied calmly.

Pei Nanzhou's remarks were something she simply could not agree with.

She didn't want Prince Pei to be dragged into this mess again.

Pei Nanzhou wanted to see Shen Shuyi weeping bitterly, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

He couldn't understand why a young woman wouldn't value her reputation.

If he were to publish this letter, her reputation would be ruined, and probably no man would dare to marry her in the future.
"A-Jian, see the guest out!" Shen Shuyi was too lazy to continue arguing with Pei Nanzhou and gave him the order to leave.

Pei Nanzhou left Fusang Courtyard with a sullen face, holding the letter.

His original intention was to make the letter public so that the Pei family's sons could see Shen Shuyi's true colors, but now he hesitated.

He suddenly remembered that all the young ladies in the Marquis's mansion shared the same fate, whether it was prosperity or ruin.

If Cousin Shen's reputation is ruined, everyone will only say that the Marquis's family has poor discipline, and the marriage prospects of the other girls in the Marquis's family will also be affected.

Therefore, this letter cannot be made public.

The best way is to let the old lady see Shen's true colors and get her to drive Shen away.

Having made his decision, he took the letter to Heshou Hall.

The old lady never expected Pei Nanzhou to come back until he showed her a letter.

After reading the letter, the old lady sighed, "It seems that Yi-jie still can't let go of Dong-ge'er. That child is outstanding, and Yi-jie has liked Dong-ge'er for a long time, so it's normal that she can't let go for the time being."

Pei Nanzhou frowned slightly.

“Grandmother, don’t you think my cousin is too ambitious? How could my cousin possibly dream of someone as extraordinary as my elder brother? She has tried to harm him more than once before. If you continue to indulge her, I’m afraid she will cause a great disaster. Even for the sake of the Marquis’s mansion, you should discipline her,” Pei Nanzhou said solemnly.

The old lady felt only heartache and doting when she thought of the child from Fusangyuan. She thought Yi'er was quite good, just a little too lively. After all, she was the child she had raised herself, so what was wrong with spoiling her?
"Could it be that you've been too harsh on her?" the old lady asked rhetorically.

Pei Nanzhou was so angry he almost laughed: "Even now, Grandmother still wants to protect Cousin Shen?"

"Nan-ge'er, be more lenient with Yi-jie'er. Although Yi-jie'er likes Dong-ge'er, she hasn't done anything to hurt him. Besides, haven't we already started looking for a husband for her? Once she gets married and leaves the Marquis's mansion, it will be difficult for this old woman like me to even see her." The old lady couldn't help but feel a little sad as she said this.

Pei Nanzhou's eyes flickered slightly.

He was confused by Shen Shuyi's words; she was indeed looking for a partner. Even if she liked Prince Pei very much, there was no way he would accept her.

Unless Prince Pei takes Cousin Shen as a concubine, but Cousin Shen herself has said that she would never be a concubine.

And the position of the heir apparent's wife will certainly not be available to Cousin Shen. As long as Cousin Shen gets married, the Marquis's mansion can return to its former tranquility.

Thinking about it this way, he agreed with the old lady's statement.

“Even so, Grandmother still needs to keep a closer eye on my cousin, otherwise she will only become more and more arrogant,” Pei Nanzhou added.

The old lady looked at him and said, "Nan-ge'er, you have always been indifferent to worldly affairs and are usually detached from worldly matters. Why are you so strict with Yi-jie'er?"

This is something she cannot understand.

Mingming thought Yijie was very good. She was lively and cute, good at talking, and meticulous in her work.

Pei Nanzhou snorted coldly: "That's because Grandmother didn't see how unruly my cousin is. What I can't tolerate the most is that she's provoking both my eldest brother and Xizhou at the same time..."

"What is the relationship between Yi-jie and Xi-ge?" the old lady asked, puzzled.

Pei Nanzhou remembered that Shen Shuyi had impersonated Su Su and gone to Baixianglou. He was afraid that the old man would not be able to handle such a shock, so he did not reveal the matter.

"I need to keep an eye on my cousin before she gets married, lest she try to take advantage of us brothers," Pei Nanzhou said, before taking his leave.

The old lady looked at An Gu and said, "Nan Ge'er used to not care about anything, but this time he cares about the Marquis's mansion and his brothers. This is not like him."

An Gu's eyes flickered slightly, and she said meaningfully, "This old servant thinks that the Second Young Master is quite concerned about Miss Biao."

The old lady didn't understand the deeper meaning in An Gu's words and laughed, "This isn't concern; it's clearly treating Yi'er as a thorn in your side."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so there's no need for you to worry."

After leaving Heshou Hall, Pei Nanzhou still wasn't satisfied, so he went to the East Garden to show the love letter to the person involved.

To his surprise, when he arrived, he found that Shen Shuyi was also there.

Moreover, the woman's restless, darting eyes revealed her sinister intentions.

If you were to ask why Shen Shuyi came to Dongyuan, it would be because the system had assigned her a mission, and it was a truly chaotic one at that.

Once the damned Pei Nanzhou arrives, she will have to begin her mission.

When she saw Pei Nanzhou holding the love letter she had casually written, she wanted to reach out and snatch it.

Pei Nanzhou certainly wouldn't give Shen Shuyi the chance to steal the love letter. He said sarcastically, "Cousin, are you afraid to admit your actions? Or are you afraid that your elder brother will find out about your ambition to marry into a powerful family and become the wife of the heir?"

Shen Shuyi jumped up to snatch the letter, but she twisted her ankle and fell uncontrollably toward Pei Dongzhou, landing right on his lap.

Her face darkened; this time she really didn't mean it...
