Chapter 208 Meeting Yu again at the banquet
Han Nian'an was stunned, and then his face darkened completely.
"You let me sit at the same table with the servants!"
Princess Chu looked at her coldly, "Why, am I not a servant?"
Han Nian'an choked. Even though she was a concubine, she was now a beloved concubine, different from those lowly and unfavored concubines!
"My Lady Princess, I came here to congratulate you sincerely today. Aren't you afraid of offending the Marquis' Mansion by doing this?"
Hearing Han Nian'an's shameless words, Qin was furious.
However, if she didn't ask, the Princess of Chu would naturally not indulge Han Nian'an.
"Since when can a concubine move out of the Marquis's mansion to scare people? Aunt Han should stop slandering Madam Qin and Master Zhou and attract criticism. As for sincerity..."
Princess Chu glanced at Han Nian'an's ostentatious dress, sneered in her heart, and said along with her words.
"If it weren't for your sincerity, why would our palace give you this meal?"
When she first received the news, she had no intention of saying such harsh words. After all, today was Jingyue's wedding banquet and there were so many guests.
But if a concubine, and a notorious one at that, really sat at the table, wouldn't their Chu Palace also become a laughing stock?
Also, they already owed Miss Jiang a favor for what happened with Wei Congze. Plus, Jingyue had a very good relationship with her and always mentioned her in front of them. How could this Aunt Han actually want to humiliate people in their Chu Palace?
If I continue to talk to her in a friendly manner, I'm afraid she will become too arrogant and forget her own limitations.
Han Nian'an's face was as black as ink.
A reward for your meal?
It's just a palace, what's so great about it? Why are you humiliating her like this!
"Princess, please don't go too far. Even if I am a concubine, I am still a concubine of the Marquis of Changning. What does it have to do with your Chu Palace? Why..."
"Shut up!" Qin interrupted Han Nian'an in a harsh voice. If it weren't for the fact that today was a big wedding day for the Prince of Chu's Palace and if there weren't so many people around, Qin would have wanted to slap him in the face.
"Your Highness, you are a princess. When will it be your turn to yell here? Get back to your house right now!"
Could a person who can predict the future really be this stupid?
If she had known this, she should have broken Han Nian'an's legs before waiting for the official ship to verify it. As long as she appeared in front of everyone, no good would happen.
Han Nian'an looked at Qin with a cold expression. He had helped Zhou Yihong so much recently, and it would have been fine if Qin didn't support him, but she actually scolded him in front of so many people.
Did she offend the Princess of Chu for no reason? If she hadn't been humiliated by the other party, she wouldn't have retorted!
Noticing the contemptuous and disgusted looks on everyone's faces, Han Nian'an became furious and wanted to risk his life and continue arguing.
Anyway, she is very useful to Zhou Yihong now, so even if he disobeys Qin and offends her, it shouldn't be a big deal. After all, Qin is old, and the future of the Marquis' Mansion will still be ruled by her husband!
The words of argument were about to come out of his mouth, but Han Nian'an suddenly saw a smile on Jiang Suining's face.
It was a look of waiting for a good show, as if he had already determined that she would be in big trouble.
But when Jiang Suining noticed the look in Han Nian'an's eyes, his expression quickly turned expressionless again.
Han Nian'an's heart skipped a beat.
Jiang Suining is very good at observing people's words and expressions, and he can't wait to see me get into trouble. The look on his face just now... is he afraid that I won't continue to quarrel?
Han Nian'an frowned instinctively and stopped talking.
Jiang Suining seemed to be wondering why she didn't continue speaking. A flash of surprise crossed his face, and then he smiled.
"Madam Han, your status is clear, so don't cause any trouble. Go and join the maids and wait for dinner."
Han Nian'an frowned. Jiang Suining was deliberately provoking her!
As expected, she was just waiting to completely anger the Princess of Chu and then be punished.
When this thought came to mind, Han Nian'an suppressed all the resentment and desire to argue in his heart.
She would never let Jiang Suining succeed!
Anyway, she came here today only because she overheard the maids discussing that many people would come to the wedding banquet in the palace today, and the families that Qin had recently been looking at were also among them. That's why she wanted to show up and be in the spotlight so that those people would know that Zhou Yihong only had her in his heart, and they should stop rushing to marry their daughter to him.
Otherwise, she would not bother to attend Chu Jingyue's wedding banquet!
After taking a deep breath, Han Nian'an glared at Jiang Suining and said, "I don't have the chance to dine with the maids. It's better for Miss Jiang to go by herself."
After saying that, Han Nian'an looked at Princess Chu again and said indifferently: "Since the princess does not welcome me, I will take my leave first."
Disgust flashed in the eyes of the Princess of Chu. A mere concubine, with such an attitude, really lacked discipline and education. However, although she was unhappy, thinking of today's happy day, the Princess of Chu suppressed her emotions and only said two words coldly.
"No delivery."
Han Nian'an glanced at the ladies standing around, changed his mind, and deliberately spoke to Qin.
"Mother, I will go back first. Judging from the time, my husband might have to go back home by now. If he doesn't see me, he might get worried."
As she spoke, Han Nian'an smiled shyly, and regardless of Qin's ugly expression, she helped her up and turned away.
Seeing Han Nian'an leave, Jiang Suining curled his lips.
Sure enough, as long as Han Ning'an felt that she was waiting for a good show, the other party would never let her get what she wanted even if she had to grit her teeth and swallow her anger.
Because of Han Nian'an's delay, the auspicious time was almost here.
Qin and the Princess of Chu apologized, and after being forgiven, they went to the ceremony site with everyone else.
After the Princess of Chu asked someone to lead the way, she walked to Jiang Suining's side.
"Sui Ning, thank you very much."
Fortunately, Sui Ning sent someone to inform him in time and stopped Han Yi Niang at the gate of the mansion. If she had really been allowed to go all the way to the viewing place, I'm afraid everyone would only talk about the affair between Han Yi Niang and Zhou Shizi.
Jiang Suining smiled gently, "You are too polite, Princess. As long as nothing goes wrong today, let's hurry over there."
When Jiang Suining and the others arrived at the viewing area, the auspicious time arrived not long after. Chu Jingyue and Chu Changhe bowed to heaven and earth under the gaze and blessings of everyone.
The wedding banquet followed. Jiang Suining originally thought that the Princess of Chu would seat her at the same table with the wives of officials who came to congratulate her, but she did not expect that her seat would be at the table of the Chu family's relatives.
What she didn't expect was that she saw another acquaintance when she entered the banquet.
Zhou Changchuan's mother, Ms. Yu.
