Soon, Sang Hong and Sang Qian received the news and came out with a group of people to greet them.

Sang Qian was dressed in a wedding gown, looking extremely festive and radiant.

Those around him secretly praised him, saying that Sang Qian was already handsome, and now, with this outfit, he looked even more dashing.

The guests from various families who came to offer their congratulations from Brightmoon City whispered among themselves:

"Young Master Sang looks really happy today."

"Nonsense, if you could marry a beauty like Miss Zheng, you'd be happy just thinking about consummating the marriage after the wedding ceremony."

"However, the Chu family's visit is not friendly. Let's see how they handle it."

"Tch, the Chu family is destined for decline, while the Sang family is the emperor's trusted and favored minister. How can they be compared?"

...

The surrounding chatter reached his ears intermittently, but Zu An remained unmoved, watching the father and son who had come out after hearing the news with amusement.

"So it's my niece, Xie Daoyun. You've really gone to so much trouble. Your father already sent a generous gift earlier." Sang Hong deliberately avoided looking at Zu An and only greeted Xie Daoyun.

Xie Daoyun smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, you're too kind. That was my father's gift before, and this is mine. After all, Miss Zheng and I are good friends, so it's only right that I give her a gift."

Sang Hong sighed, "My niece is so beautiful and considerate. I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry you in the future."

Xie Daoyun blushed slightly and lowered her head shyly.

Zu'an, standing to the side, complained, "Lord Sang, isn't this a bit too biased? We're both giving gifts, so why do you only praise Miss Xie? What about me?"

Sang Hong: "..."

Sang Qian: "..."

People around them turned to look at her, wondering why others were only praising Miss Xie. Didn't she have any self-awareness?

Sang Hong's anger level increased by 250!

Anger from Sang Qian +357!

Sang Hong said, "Oh, so it's Young Master Zu. All guests are welcome. If you've come to offer your sincere congratulations, our Sang family will certainly welcome you."

Sang Qian, standing to the side, was not as composed as his father and shouted, "What kind of thing did you send?"

Anger from Sang Qian +666!

He noticed that the gift was a hat, and it was green.

There is no such thing as a cuckold's hat in this world, but he instinctively felt that this gift was not a good thing.

Zu An smiled slightly, took the hat and handed it over: "I just think this hat is very bright and suits Brother Sang's temperament. Here, let me put it on you."

As she spoke, she was about to cover his head with the cloth.

Worried that there might be some kind of trap inside, Sang Qian took a step back warily: "Who gives someone a hat at a wedding? You're just deliberately trying to cause trouble!"

Zu An sighed, "I came here with the utmost sincerity to give this gift. It's just that my family is poor now and can't afford such an expensive pearl as Miss Xie's, but my intentions are the same. Is it possible that the Sang family is so powerful that they only want to accept expensive gifts and not so valuable congratulatory gifts?"

Even though people knew he was deliberately trying to sow discord, they still gossiped. Indeed, it was a small gift with a big meaning.

Moreover, Lord Mingyue has always been upright, and many people in Mingyue City have received favors from the Chu family. Now that the Chu family can't even offer a decent congratulatory gift, their plight is truly pitiful.

Hearing the whispers around him, Sang Qian roared, "You brat, I think you've come here on purpose to cause trouble!"

Anger from Sang Qian +777!

"Qian'er!" Sang Hong stopped him. "All guests are welcome. Today is your big day, so you should accept their gifts."

“But…” Sang Qian vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

Zu An smiled slightly: "Lord Sang is indeed sensible. Come, Brother Sang, let me put it on for you myself."

After saying that, he put the hat directly on his head.

Sang Qian wanted to dodge, but his father stopped him with a look, so he had no choice but to stand there and suppress his displeasure.

Of course, if they knew the story behind the green hat, they would absolutely not agree.

"Hey, Brother Sang, don't move it, it's all crooked." Zu An straightened the hat again, then nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, this hat suits Brother Sang perfectly."

He had a premonition that many years from now, the world would be filled with stories of cuckoldry, and that would begin today…

Sang Hong said in a deep voice, "Young Master Zu, have you made enough of a scene? If you have nothing else to say, please leave. Of course, you are welcome to come in to watch the ceremony and have a drink at the wedding."

Zu An also put away his smile and said in a deep voice, "Of course, this matter is not over. I came here today because I have some things I want to settle with Lord Sang."

“Settle accounts with my father? Who do you think you are!” Sang Hong roared.

Anger from Sang Qian +358!

Born into a prestigious family, he had always looked down on a rogue like Zuan from the streets. But unexpectedly, this very person married the most beautiful woman in the entire Bright Moon City, a goddess that many noble young men wouldn't even dare to dream of. In the end, he was eaten by this toad.

Therefore, he found everything about the other person disagreeable.

Sang Hong also sneered: "Perhaps Lord Mingyue has the right to stand in front of me and say this, but you? You are not qualified."

His tone was extremely contemptuous, and many people around him burst into laughter, all thinking that Zu'an was overestimating himself.

Putting aside the Sang family's status and position, even if he, an eighth-rank expert, were standing right here, how could a young junior like you have the audacity to settle accounts with him?

"Is this enough to qualify them?" Zuan snorted and gave the agreed-upon signal. Soon, a group of red-robed soldiers rushed in like wolves and tigers, surrounding them completely.
