The wife he married through an arranged marriage is so sweet, Mr. Lu can't control himself.

After only a short conversation, Lu Yanshen was invited by Ji Yao to the upstairs study to discuss the allocation of resources among powerful families.

Because Lu Yanshen held the highest position, no matter how they negotiated, Lu Yanshen had to agree in the end.

It just so happens that Lu Yanshen came today.

Gu Zhi chatted and laughed with Grandpa Ji for a while longer before leaving with Lu Yanbai.

Today there are not only these three guests, but also many important guests. We can't let Grandpa Ji entertain them and only talk to them.

Out of courtesy, Gu Zhi had someone take her and Lu Yanbai to see the bride.

Ji Xiangfan, the groom, didn't let anyone else lead the way; he personally took Gu Zhi and Lu Yanbai to the bride's room.

Although the Ji family and the Lu family are very familiar with each other and there is no need for such formalities, Gu Zhi is, after all, the wife of the Lu family head, and her status is undeniable.

The bride has changed into her wedding dress and done her makeup; she's just waiting for the wedding to begin.

Gu Zhi chatted and laughed with the bride for a while before leaving the bridal chamber.

Wander around the manor.

The manor has now been transformed into a wedding venue, and it's incredibly romantic.

Whenever guests came, they would come up to greet Gu Zhi, Madam Lu.

If anyone knew Lu Yanbai, they would naturally rush over to greet him.

Among the guests today are many people of the same age as Lu Yanbai.

Gu Zhi then told Lu Yanbai to go and play with the other kids his age.

Lu Yanbai also wanted to go, but said, "No, my brother isn't here with you, I have to be here with you! Otherwise, what if you get bullied again, sister-in-law!"

Gu Zhi laughed and said, "This is Grandpa Ji's house, how could I be bullied? Besides, who would dare to bully me now? And everyone knows your older brother is here today, so go and have some fun."

She genuinely didn't want to restrict Lu Yanbai.

What was with Lu Yanbai following behind her, constantly shouting at those people his age in the distance?

It's better to just go and talk to them directly.

Lu Yanbai thought about it and agreed, but still said, "Then, sister-in-law, if anything happens, just call me immediately! I won't go far, I'll be right there!"

Then Lu Yanbai went to play with his peers.

Gu Zhi felt that her ears were much quieter now.

Otherwise, Lu Yanbai's constant calling from behind her was starting to interfere with her conversations with the guests who were greeting her.

After Gu Zhi finished speaking with another guest, she suddenly saw a man in his forties or fifties approaching her with a simple and honest look on his face.

Lu Yanbai, distracted by the situation, immediately stopped talking to the people his age and rushed over to whisper to his sister-in-law:

"Sister-in-law, this is Uncle Ji Zheng, the youngest son of Grandpa Ji's eldest brother. He has been raised by Grandpa Ji since he was a child."

Gu Zhi had heard Grandpa Ji mention it when he visited the Lu family's old house.

He said his older brother treated him very well.

It is said that his elder brother passed away when his nephew Ji Zheng was one year old, and then entrusted his only child, Ji Zheng, to him.

That's why Ji Zheng was always kept by his side.

He loved her very much.

At that time, Grandpa Ji also said that his nephew was extremely honest and kind, and that in the entire Ji family, there was no one more honest and kind than his nephew.

Fortunately, his nephew listened to him in everything, so he never suffered any major losses.

"Hehe, Uncle Ji is even dumber than me. He can't tell whether what others are saying is true or false," Lu Yanbai said in a low voice.

Just then, Ji Zheng arrived in front of Gu Zhi. Before he even reached her, he grinned sheepishly and said, "Nephew's wife."

Lu Yanbai didn't continue speaking, but politely greeted Ji Zheng, calling him "Uncle Zheng".

Gu Zhi greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Zheng."

"Okay, okay, hello." Ji Zheng smiled even more warmly. "I was busy in the back, and my second uncle said you were here. He said Yan Shen was upstairs discussing something and asked me to come and see you first."

Not a single word was hidden.

Gu Zhi also felt that Ji Zheng was truly honest and kind.

He quickly said, "You are my elder, how could I let you come to see me? It should be me who goes to see you."

Ji Zheng was also extremely inarticulate, and upon hearing this, he could only wave his hand and say, "No need, no need."

I don't know what else to say.

"Brother Bai, it's your turn!" Suddenly, his peers called out to Lu Yanbai.

Lu Yanbai immediately said, "Sister-in-law, Uncle Zheng, you two chat, I'm going to go play again!"

After saying that, she flew off to play with her peers.

Ji Zheng racked his brains, but still couldn't think of anything to say. His second uncle hadn't taught him.

So he could only say somewhat awkwardly, "Nephew's wife, I'm sorry, I don't know what to say. I'm bad with words. I'd better go and do something else."

Gu Zhi quickly said, "No, no, Uncle, you can go about your business if you have something to do, don't worry about me."

"Hey!" Ji Zheng immediately felt much better and was no longer embarrassed. He was ready to get on with his business.

Let's check if the drinks and other items are all in order.

Once the wedding begins, it also means the banquet is about to start.

We can't afford to make any mistakes.

But Ji Zhenggang turned and took two steps, then suddenly remembered something and turned back:

"By the way, my dear niece-in-law, I ran into your father and his family last time. They said they were your father and wanted to attend the wedding, so I gave them an invitation too. Hey, haven't they arrived yet? I haven't seen them."

Gu Zhi was rarely silenced by others.

Seeing Ji Zheng's simple smile, she paused for a moment.

No wonder even Lu Yanbai said he couldn't tell whether what others were saying was true or false.

Grandpa Ji and the others probably don't know.

If I had known, I would have told her about it long ago.

Shen Lifeng and the others must have thought Ji Zheng was a fraud, which is why they asked Ji Zheng for invitations.

Ji Zheng didn't notice any change in Gu Zhi's expression; he was just looking around to see if Shen Lifeng and the others had arrived.

Suddenly, they saw Shen Lifeng and his group arrive.

He immediately exclaimed to Gu Zhi with delight, "Nephew's wife, your father and the others are here!"

Seeing Shen Lifeng and the others coming this way, he said, "You guys chat, I'll go get busy!"

With that, he chuckled sheepishly and went off to get busy.

Gu Zhi's silence was deafening.

No wonder Grandpa Ji said he had never suffered a major loss, but it seems he has suffered quite a few minor ones.

Fortunately, he listened to everything Grandpa Ji said; otherwise, she would have suspected that he might end up like her mother.

Her mother is also very trusting and easily deceived.

However, her mother did not listen to her grandfather and insisted on being with Shen Lifeng and marrying him.

If she had listened to her grandfather and done everything he said, she would probably still be living a happy life now.

The next second, Gu Zhi fixed her gaze on Shen Lifeng, Sun Qin, and Shen Yuyao who were walking towards her.

Just like every time he had begged her for forgiveness before, Shen Lifeng was all smiles and trying to please her, walking very fast.

Sun Qin and Shen Yuyao slowed down, not knowing what was going on, and their enthusiasm and flattery disappeared.

They were even quite arrogant.

The three of them were like two factions.

This is so unusual.

Gu Zhi narrowed her eyes almost imperceptibly.

The reason Shen Lifeng and his two companions arrived so late was because they were afraid that if they came too early, they wouldn't even see Gu Zhi before being chased away by the Ji family.
