They've been exposed.

Xu Manzhi quickly turned around and said with a dry laugh, "I, I am a cousin of the Jiang family, and I came to the city to congratulate Sister Yue."

Then, before Gu Tongkai could approach, she turned and ran away.

"Xiang Qun, don't mind them. They're just poor relatives from the countryside, coming to beg for money. Let's ignore them. The wedding will continue, it's a joyous occasion, a once-in-a-lifetime event," Gu Tongkai said with a smile.

Zhou Xiangqun secretly resented the Gu family for being so blind.

But she naturally wouldn't lash out in public, so she put on a good-natured act and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. I know, and I certainly won't stoop to her level. I'll continue with the moon-receiving ceremony."

"As expected of someone from a prominent family, he has good manners and a dignified demeanor."

Amid Gu Tongkai's praise, Zhou Xiangqun felt quite proud and naturally forgot about the dark-faced girl. He never imagined that the person congratulating him was his beloved fiancée.

Xu Manzhi did not go far.

This was her first time attending a wedding, and she wasn't very familiar with the old customs, but as soon as she got close to Zhou Xiangqun and the several tall men around him, the scent of coins emanating from their pockets immediately attracted her.

It's bulging with cash; there must have been quite a few tips and red envelopes.

We can't have every single one or two cents...

So, she silently waited in a corner, waiting for the bridesmaids to intercept Deng Hui, Ding Xiaotong, Ma Houfang, and Wu Ding, when Xu Manzhi released Ling Jun's wild wolfhound from her spatial storage.

"Little thing, you have to pounce hard. Once I get the big red envelope, I'll give you meat to eat. Otherwise, I'll stew you up and use you as a snack with my drinks." She said, stroking the dog's head.

Big Yellow is so eye-catching that many people recognize him.

Before she left, she even took one dog from Ling Junye's dog cage.

"Awoo"

Big Black was very sensible.

Even the big yellow dogs recognized their master. They smelled her scent and naturally bowed down, nodding obsequiously with their tongues hanging out. Then, they pointed a finger at Xu Manzhi from afar.

"Woof woof woof".

Big Black leaped forward and charged at Deng Hui from the side. Before Deng Hui could make a move, Big Black slashed wildly with its claws, tearing open all the seams of Deng Hui's clothes.

The red envelopes in my pocket were scattered all over the ground.

"Cousin—" Ding Xiaotong chased the dog away, and Ma Houfang and Wu Ding went to help him up.

Unexpectedly, the dog ignored everything and started tearing at their clothes, opening them one by one, and the red envelopes in their pockets fell to the ground like red snowflakes.

Wow, so many red envelopes! Hurry and grab them!

Someone shouted something, and then a group of people swarmed forward.

Xu Manzhi moved swiftly and quickly, swiping and swiping all the way.

Except for a few scattered ones, most of the red envelopes were instantly deposited into the account space.

The red envelopes were snapped up in no time.

The groomsmen were dumbfounded.

The Gu family went too far. They sent out a big black dog before they even arrived at the wedding room. If it weren't for the fact that dogs shouldn't be killed on such a joyous occasion, they would have slaughtered it long ago.

Gu Tongkai also felt embarrassed.

He quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "It's nothing, it's nothing, just a little incident. I don't know where this dog came from, it's not mine, all the neighbors can testify. To show our sincerity, let's not make a fuss and go pick up the bride."

"Old fox, don't mess around. We're all people of status and influence. We can't keep taking advantage of Brother Zhou's good temper and treating him like dough to be kneaded," Deng Hui reprimanded.

"No, no, it's a misunderstanding. Our Gu family is full of sincerity and naturally hopes for good fortune and a happy marriage between the two families," Gu Tongkai said with a smile.

"It had better be true."

Deng Hui didn't mind playing the bad cop; making Zhou Xiangqun happy was the most important thing.

"It's real, more real than real gold."

At Gu Tongkai's invitation, Zhou Xiangqun also tugged at Deng Hui, and the group headed towards the bridal chamber.

When Zhou Xiangqun entered the room, he saw the bride sitting on the bed, and his heart was filled with joy, excitement and thrill.

He knelt down, took Jiang Pengyue's hand, and said sincerely, "Pengyue, I've finally married you. This is the blessing I've accumulated over several lifetimes..."

Jiang Pengyue remained silent.

She had an extra layer of red veil over her head, which almost perfectly covered her face. Hearing the groom's words, she seemed quite happy and nodded, letting out a soft "Mmm".

Zhou Xiangqun felt a tingling sensation throughout his body.

He inhaled the fragrance emanating from Jiang Pengyue's clothes, took her hand, pressed it against his cheek, and said softly, "Pengyue, don't worry, I will treat you well and be good to you for the rest of my life."

"Um."

The bride responded again.

The Gu family members standing to the side were sweating bullets, afraid that the veil-raising ceremony would go wrong. They stepped forward one by one to urge, "Alright, we've received the bride, let's go and perform the ceremony now."

"good."

Zhou Xiangqun picked up Jiang Pengyue and prepared to put her in the car.

But for some reason, he found that his wife was a bit heavy, more than he expected. She struggled to take even a few more steps and seemed like she might fall off at any moment.

Deng Hui saw through it at a glance.

He stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Xiangqun, then winked at his assistant Wu Ding, and dragged him to the car, one on each side.

After Jiang Pengyue successfully got into the car, Gu Tongkai felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.

Leaving the Gu family home safely only means that we've accomplished a small part of the task.

If the Zhou family denies it, the Gu family can say that it has nothing to do with them from beginning to end, since it was Jiang Mingda who proposed the traditional wedding.

"Dad, let's go to the restaurant now," Gu Qingshu asked.

A large truck arrived and loaded the quilts, chests, and wooden cabinets that the Gu family had prepared for Jiang Pengyue—all rather inexpensive dowry items.

The lead wedding car set off firecrackers along the way as it drove towards the restaurant.

The wedding ceremony was also held at a state-run restaurant.

After all, this isn't the Zhou family's main residence.

Keeping everything simple avoids many potential pitfalls.
