The banquet has started.

This time, most of them were members of the Yu clan. In fact, not many people came. Yu Ruiwen did not plan to hold a grand party. Those in the official circles were his old friends who had relatively good relations with each other. This was for Mrs. Zhou to become an equal wife, and the banquet was also

It's just slightly divided into women's seats and men's seats, separated by screens.

Just as the middle two seats are in the middle of the screen, one seat is on the female family members' side. Mr. Qian, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Qian and several senior female family members are arranged at this table. On the opposite table are Yu Ruiwen, King Duan and his friends among the officials.

, but now that Prince Qi is here, several friends think that they can all have a banquet at the same table below.

So only Yu Ruiwen, the master, was left at this table, accompanied by the royal pair of cousins.

There is no screen between the two tables, but they are divided into high and low places. The men's table is located higher than the women's table.

The three girls from the Xuanping Hou Mansion accompanied the other female family members to the table.

Mrs. Qian was sitting at the head of the ladies' table, with a smile on her thin face. She looked quite peaceful. However, Mrs. Qian's face was not so good-looking. She was actually a bit gloomier than before. She sat next to Mr. Qian with a frown.

, seems to be very dissatisfied with the current situation.

The appearance of mother and daughter seemed to be reversed, which surprised the female relatives of the Yu family.

In this situation, if Mrs. Qian is angry, she is also angry. Mrs. Qian has always been a kind person and is cheerful to everyone. What happened today?

Yu Ruiwen also saw Mrs. Qian coming over with a gloomy face, and didn't understand what was going on. If it were in the past, he would definitely go over and ask, but today Prince Duan and Prince Qi are both here, so he can't leave for fear of leaving.

Something can happen, Prince Qi is not a good-tempered person.

Moreover, he had to watch Prince Qi today, fearing that he would look for his youngest daughter, but he could not let Prince Qi have the chance to see his youngest daughter. After a while, he sent someone to secretly notify his youngest daughter, asking her to go back first, and said

I am taking the entrance exam for Baishi Academy, so I don’t have time to spend time with guests here.

Yu Ruiwen thought about the reasons and focused on Feng Yu. Even King Duan felt that he was a little absent-minded. He looked at Qian, one of the female relatives, and remained silent for a while.

Marrying an equal wife doesn’t look like a good thing!

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, the next step is the most important part of the day, tea is served, and everyone present is a witness.

A maid came from below, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and brought it to Mrs. Zhou.

Everyone put down their wine glasses and looked at the scene in front of them with smiles.

Yu Xijiao gently wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief and looked over.

Mrs. Zhou stood up and took the tea cup from the maid's hand. A woman placed a soft cushion in front of Qian. Mrs. Zhou came over and knelt down.

When she was a concubine, she offered Qian a cup of tea, but at that time she was just an aunt, but now it is a different situation. Today's kneeling can be regarded as the last kneeling, and from now on she will be the official wife. Although the two of them are slightly

There are differences, but there is no need to kneel down.

The smile on Qian's face sank. She pressed her hand on the jade ruyi at the bottom of her sleeve and glanced at Prince Duan and Prince Qi opposite him.

With my mother here and Crown Prince Duan here, this matter is absolutely certain, even if the Marquis disagrees.

He put his hand on the corner of the table and was about to retaliate when he suddenly heard a cold voice in his ear: "Aunt Zhou, wait a minute.

Qian turned around in shock and looked at his mother, Mrs. Qian, who was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

She knows her mother's temperament best, and it is impossible to take the initiative. She can at most support her secretly or think of ways to do it. Today, Qian wanted to make a plan with her mother, but she didn't expect Princess An and the eldest daughter to send Aunt Qin over.

, admonished her for a long time, but when her mother came over, Aunt Qin still refused to leave.

After the banquet started, Lord Marquis sent someone over, and Aunt Qin left. She has not discussed the matter with her mother in private until now.

However, inviting his mother here is just to give him extra help in his affairs. It doesn't matter if he doesn't discuss it with his mother now. His mother is a smart person. When the time comes, he will stand on his side and say a few words, forcing the Marquis not to do anything.

Just agree to let Ms. Zhou become an equal wife.

This was Qian's confidence, so she was still calm during the banquet just now.

Now when he was about to attack, he found that his mother actually stood up. Qian was shocked. Her mother was not a person of this kind of character.

"Old madam, what is this?" Yu Ruiwen stood up, feeling that the atmosphere was not right.

"Marquis Xuanping, I have something to ask you, but I don't know whether to ask or not." Mrs. Qian stopped Aunt Zhou from kneeling down and looked at Yu Ruiwen with a serious face.

"Old Madam, please speak." Yu Ruiwen still respected Madam Qian, although he was a little unhappy in his heart that she stood up at this time.

"Aunt Zhou is just a concubine with a humble background, how can she be the equal wife of Marquis Xuanping?" Mrs. Qian asked.

"Old madam, although Aunt Zhou comes from an ordinary background, she is also from a scholarly family, which is not considered humble." Yu Ruiwen breathed a sigh of relief. He had been prepared for this.

"Marquis Xuanping was wrong. Aunt Zhou sold herself to bury her father and became a servant. Even if Marquis Xuanping takes her as a concubine later, it cannot cover up the fact that she was once a servant." Mrs. Qian continued, "I am a servant.

Although my daughter has some shortcomings, she was originally a common wife who entered the Marquis's residence, so her status was acceptable even if she was the principal wife of Marquis Xuan Ping at that time."

Qian was the daughter of a minister. It was just that it was difficult to marry at that time. She wanted to marry someone with a high status, but it didn't mean that she couldn't marry. She was indeed worthy of the position of Mrs. Yu Ruiwen. However, Yu Ruiwen was already married at that time. If Qian

If the Xie family wants to enter, they will have no choice but to succumb to the Xie family.

In terms of status, the Qian family is indeed much nobler than the Zhou family.

"Marquis Xuanping, my daughter now has the status of a servant and a servant. Please forgive me for not being able to accept it." Mrs. Qian's last words surprised Qian even more.

He slowly lowered his hand on Yu Ruyi, sat upright, and raised his eyes to look at Mr. Zhou with disdain.

He didn't say that Yu Ruiwen would not be allowed to marry an equal wife, but only said that the Zhou family was not worthy of the Qian family, nor was he worthy of Yu Ruiwen. He even mentioned the incident of the Qian family's entry into the family, which sounded very magnanimous.

Yu Xijiao had to admire that Mrs. Qian was really powerful. She sounded dissatisfied with just a few words, but there was a good reason for her dissatisfaction. After thinking about it carefully, many people were already nodding, thinking that Mrs. Qian said

That's right. If my daughter encountered this kind of thing, I can't believe she would have the same reaction.

Yu Zhuqing's face turned slightly pale, anxious for Mrs. Zhou.

Yu Xijiao nodded to her calmly, signaling her not to panic and to watch slowly.

"Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Zhou was not considered a servant after she first entered the mansion." Yu Ruiwen did not expect that Mrs. Qian would say this. He was a little panicked for a moment, stuttered and said vaguely.

"Marquis Xuanping was wrong." Mrs. Qian sighed, "Aunt Zhou sold herself into the house at that time, right?"

"Yes!" Yu Ruiwen was sweating on his forehead and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"You will also be a slave in the house for a period of time, right?" Mrs. Qian continued. Since she likes Yu Ruyi, she cannot let Aunt Zhou become an equal wife, otherwise her daughter will have to use Yu Ruyi no matter what, but this

This is the only time Yu Ruyi is really useful.

"Actually, it's not really... it's just..." Yu Ruiwen couldn't answer.

"Marquis Xuanping, it is useless to hide it like this. Aunt Zhou is from a humble background and cannot be the wife of Marquis Xuanping. If Marquis Xuanping must marry another wife, I would like to ask the wives of the Yu family to find her."

"Look, if there is a girl with an innocent family background, you can't just find one of the servants in your house and become your wife."

Mrs. Qian said earnestly: "Marquis Xuanping is different from other marquises. He has a distinguished status and has royal blood. He cannot act randomly."

It's not that I disagree, I just want to change someone.

Mrs. Qian's words could be said to be comprehensive. The members of the Yu clan nodded repeatedly. They felt that what Mrs. Qian said was very polite. They looked at Mrs. Zhou with disdain. Originally, they had been chatting and laughing with Mrs. Zhou before, one by one.

Madam, you are very flattering, but now you are showing disdain.

Yu Xijiao was not in a hurry. She and her grandmother had already guessed what would happen if Mrs. Qian intervened. Her grandmother specially sent Aunt Qin here, partly because of her father's request, and partly because of the current situation.

Aunt Qin had held off Mrs. Qian before, and she would not allow Mrs. Qian and Mr. Qian to meet alone before the banquet. Now, even if they each have their own plans, it is not easy to cooperate with each other, and the possibility of making mistakes is extremely high.

What Yu Xijiao didn't expect was that Mrs. Qian actually attacked earlier than Mrs. Qian. Why? Could it be that Mrs. Qian valued this jade Ruyi more, or that she valued the effect of Jade Ruyi more?

It's quite doubtful.

After the water eyes moved, they continued to watch the play. This play depends on how the Qian mother and daughter and their father continue to sing. How far will the Qian mother and daughter push their father?

My father has always trusted Mrs. Qian. After this incident, will he still be as trusting as before?

"Mrs. Qian, that's not what you said." Yu Ruiwen was upset after being suppressed by Mrs. Qian. The smile on his face had faded and his expression became cold.

"Marquis Xuanping, that's not the calculation, so where do we start from?" Mrs. Qian rarely gave in. She no longer looked peaceful and looked at Yu Ruiwen with anger on her face, "My daughter.

When she first married Marquis Xuanping, Mrs. Hou was from the Xie family. The Xie family came from a famous family, so I felt happy that my daughter could be with her, but now..."

"Marquis Xuanping, I don't want to tell you what I think of my daughter. I just want to ask about the status of Mrs.

It was a great honor for Pinghou to marry Mrs.

Mrs. Qian's eyes were red as she spoke, and she looked both angry and angry: "Although I am not Mrs. Xie's biological mother, I am also her elder. Now, in front of this banquet, I would like to ask Mr. Xuanping, what do you want?"
