Fu Jiujiu was furious, but thinking about the bigger picture and not wanting to ruin such a good wedding, she held back her anger. She decided to bring it up with Song Yuanping later.

Alas, she was kindhearted, but some people did not appreciate it.

On the joyous day of her marriage, the bride's elders all hung their heads and looked sullen.

On the Song family's side, relatives were still hoping to chat a bit, but they ended up being unwelcome.

Of course, although Fu JiuJiu is considered an elder, she's still very young. She can't really talk to them, nor does she want to.

There was a man, I don't know who he was, who came over and said, "Sister, you are so beautiful. Have you been betrothed yet? I have some candies for lucky occasions, if you want some, just call me brother and I'll tell you about it!"

Fu Jiujiu glanced at the man. He had a carefree, ruffian-like air about him. He smelled of cheap cologne, which was rather irritating.

It's not that Fujujju is bragging, but people generally older than her call her "Auntie," and those around her age call her "Grandma."

I heard the bride is nineteen years old, considered a grown woman. It's unclear if this person is the bride's brother or nephew.

No matter how you calculate it, she is still your junior.

Before Fu Jujiao could speak, Song Yuanping rushed over from somewhere and said in a low voice, "This is not someone you should provoke."

When paying respects, important relatives from both families also meet.

Song Yuanping met the man, who was her cousin.

The man didn't seem to care, continuing to smile and laugh. "Brother-in-law, after today we'll be a family. What's the point of getting worked up? I just saw my little sister alone, so I was worried she'd feel lonely, and came over to chat with her."

From how men addressed Song Yuanping, Fu Jiujiu knew she was definitely considered an elder.

"Sister? You should call me aunt."

If this were anyone else, the man would be frantic. But Fu JiuJiu is so pretty and has such a nice voice, it makes it hard to get angry with her.

"You, young lady, how can you still like to take advantage of others?" The man smirked and laughed, thinking he was handsome.

It's actually disgusting how greasy it is.

Fu Jiujiu didn't want to waste time with him, but Song Yuanping had already spoken up for her, "This is my little aunt. Since we're family, logically you should call her aunt, besides, she's a county princess."

Song Yuanping knew that Fu Jiujiu didn't like flaunting her identity.

Although he said it like that, the princess going to greet her groom herself would bring face to their family. That was just an excuse of his.

He won't do anything that would upset Fu Jiu Jiu, but if he doesn't say her identity now, someone else will make up something later.

"She...she...is a county princess? Brother-in-law, you're not joking, are you?"

Song Yuanping didn't want to waste words with him, "Do I look like I'm joking with you?"

The man glanced at Fu Jiujiu again, his eyes full of disbelief, but he didn't dare to make a move, so he stepped aside.

"Can we leave now?" The bride was left standing alone.

Fu Jiujiu suddenly realized that she might have done something wrong, and quickly gave Song Yuanping a look.

The bride should be carried onto the palanquin by her brothers at home.

It's okay if you don't have close relatives, even distant relatives will do.

However, Fu Jiu Jiu didn't expect that looking at the tall and strong man, he couldn't even carry the bride on his back, or maybe it was intentional.

The groom carried the bride for a few steps, and after leaving the courtyard, they found that someone had splashed mud water on the side of the road, making it muddy.

When the man walked with the bride on his back to the muddy ground, he trembled. The bride was unsteady on his back and was about to fall to the ground.

Song Yuanping was being pestered by his relatives at this moment, it was clearly a setup.

This isn't about slapping the bride, it's about making the Song family look bad.

However, they ignored Fujujio who was right beside the bride.

When the bride exclaimed in surprise, she grabbed the bride's arm, squeezing it slightly. The bride was lifted into her arms.

And she kicked the man as he stumbled, sending him sprawling into the mud. He landed headfirst in a glorious mess of dirt, eating it like a dog.

The bride, flustered, instinctively lifted the veil. She saw Fu Jiujiu's radiant face.

Fu Jiujiao soothed with a smile, and the bride pretended to come down.

How could she possibly allow a young girl to carry her like this, even though the girl seemed to find it effortless?

And at this time, Song Yuanping had already broken free from those people's restraints, "Chirp chirp!"

Fu Jiujiu's impression was that after she woke up, he had never called her "Little Aunt" again.

But it's just a title, she doesn't care.

Fu Jiujiao put the bride in his arms and said, "Although the bride is not heavy, a husband should hold his own wife."

She glanced at the man who had just crawled up from the ground, looking rather disheveled, and said scornfully, “Look at you, strong as an ox, how can you even be worse than me? Remember to take your medicine if you're sick, and take care of yourself.”

Men are not softhearted, just as he was about to attack, Fu Jiu Jiu coldly said: "Since you're like this, do you still want to hit me?"

Even Fu Jiujiu doesn't need to use her identity to pressure them, she can deal with them using force alone.

Song Yuanping was genuinely angry. This wasn't about whether he liked the bride; he carried her into the palanquin and settled her down, then spoke in a low voice to his relatives: "If you don't give the bride face, you're not giving me face. If that's the case, then there's no need to associate with each other in the future."

The bride sitting inside the palanquin let out a long sigh, this man truly hadn't made a wrong choice.

Even if…he didn’t have himself in his heart.

Song Yuanping finished speaking and then called everyone back, there was no need to waste any more time with this group of people.

On the way back, Fu Jiujiu walked right behind him.

Unexpectedly, the bride sent a message through her bridesmaid, thanking me for helping her out of a difficult situation.

Fu Jiaojiao straightened her back and said, "You tell the bride, please. As an elder, it's my duty to protect her."

Fu Jiujiu deliberately emphasized her seniority, just to avoid any misunderstandings.

Song Yuanping's roar really stunned the bride's relatives. Even her uncle who was sending the bride didn't dare to cause trouble. They didn't even dare to breathe after learning about Fu Jiujiu's identity.

Just do whatever I say, and don't dare utter a single word.

After the welcoming ceremony, everything went according to procedure. Fu Jiu Jiu had accomplished her mission and retired, so tired that she only ate a few bites before going home to sleep.

By the time she woke up, Fu Erjin had already placed the delicious food on the table.

All the wedding festivities are attended by younger relatives. Fu Tianfu went with a few of his younger brothers and didn't return until very late.

Fu Jiujiu stayed inside and didn't come out. She only heard them say that Song Yuanping was very drunk, but he was generous and gave out a lot of candy.

The next morning, Fu Jiujiu intended to sleep until the sun was high in the sky.

Nevertheless, she was still caught by Zhou. Upon inquiry, she learned that Song Yuanping had come with his newlywed wife.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be here, but Fu JiuJiu thought of the favor she had done yesterday and feared that he was here because of it.

Something happened, two updates today, Wednesday next week update, and then make up for it.
