Thinking about Zhang Xian, Ye Jintang couldn't help but think of Jiang Zhi, who was also a man with a white face but a black heart.

She also invited Jiang Zhi’s new wife today.

Just now many people came to greet her, but she only took a quick look. The woman had a face as beautiful as a silver plate and was very dignified. She looked gentle and virtuous.

At this moment, Ye Jintang felt mixed emotions and couldn't describe what he felt.

On the way to the waterside pavilion, I could vaguely hear the laughter of several young ladies coming from the pavilion not far away.

"Mrs. Fan is so lucky. We are all scared of Lord Jiang, who is a living devil. But Lord Jiang loves his wife as if she were his life, and he pampers Mrs. Fan to the sky."

"After hearing that Madam Fan's grandmother had passed away, she wanted to observe mourning for her grandmother. Lord Jiang waited for two years before marrying Madam Fan."

"Who says it's not true? Lord Jiang is a third-rank official at a young age. Even though he has a bad reputation, many ladies in the capital want to marry their daughters to him. I heard that in the past two years, the threshold of the Jiang family's courtyard has been trampled down."

"I heard that Lord Jiang and Madam Fan have been childhood sweethearts. Although Lord Jiang was born in a poor family, Madam Fan has been dragging her feet and not getting married for many years. The relationship between the two is extremely deep."

"Yes, the Fan family encountered some problems a few years ago, and it was Lord Jiang who intervened. Otherwise, the Fan family would have been gone long ago."

It is not easy for a woman to meet a husband who treats her sincerely, and the ladies were full of envy in their words.

But when Ye Jintang heard these words, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

The inexplicable feelings between her and Jiang Zhi instantly turned into countless knives, cutting Ye Jintang's heart.

She tried to calm herself down and comfort herself that she was already married and had Xiao Yi. Even if they lived their own lives, there was no possibility for her and Jiang Zhi anymore. Why should she worry about it now?

That little bit of love could only become a stumbling block in her career development.

After calming himself down, Ye Jintang led the maids and servants towards the waterside pavilion, as the banquet was about to begin.

When the auspicious time arrived, the maids in the Prince of Qin's mansion led the ladies to their seats.

Everything went smoothly and there were no mistakes.

The older lady couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it was really not easy for Ye Jintang to be able to do so just after marrying into the Prince Qin's Mansion.

Ye Jintang entered the water pavilion surrounded by the crowd.

Nanny Zhang and a group of maids and old women stood by to serve.

Just as everyone was seated, Nanny Zhang suddenly discovered that a set of cutlery on the table was missing, and judging from the location, it should have been from Madam Qu's side.

She only felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet and rushing straight to her forehead, and her face turned pale as paper with fear.

The tableware on the main table was extremely valuable, and she knew very well what it meant if a set was suddenly missing.

Moreover, the tableware on the main table is not ordinary stuff, but the top-grade enamel glazed peony tableware produced in Yuezhou.

Every teacup, bowl and plate is decorated with extremely exquisite peony patterns. I heard that it takes fifteen layers of glaze alone.

When Ye Jintang took out this set of tableware, she was stunned.

Such luxurious tableware can even be used by the ladies in the palace.

If you take it out of the palace, you won’t find anything better than this in the entire capital.

The banquet is about to begin, and it is too late to change the tableware now, and it will delay the auspicious time for the banquet.

If he didn't change it and only gave Mrs. Qu a new set of tableware, if he took out something more expensive in front of so many ladies, it would be a slap in the face of Ye Jintang. If he took out something worse than the tableware on the table, Mrs. Qu would probably feel uncomfortable.

Ye Yanran also followed the crowd into the pavilion, sat down slowly, and swept her smiling eyes across the table.

She noticed at a glance that there was a lack of cutlery on the table.

"Sister, your banquet is not good. How come there is one set of tableware missing on the main table?"

As soon as Ye Yanran finished speaking, the ladies at the main table noticed that there was one set of tableware missing from the table.

Mrs. Qu's face looked obviously not good.

Before Nanny Zhang had time to tell Ye Jintang, Ye Yanran pointed it out, catching Nanny Zhang off guard.

She was scared to death, her forehead was covered with sweat, she was doomed.

"Sister, please give this set of tableware to Mrs. Qu. I don't have much appetite today, and I don't think I will need the tableware."

Ye Yanran smiled very proudly, she wanted to see how Ye Jintang would end up today.

Ye Jintang glanced at the tableware without caring about it. She didn't think about it at all. In her opinion, it was just one set of tableware missing. She could just make up for it. She had a lot of such tableware in her warehouse.

"Don't bother me, sister. Aunt Zhang, please give my tableware to Madam Qu first."

"Yes."

Nanny Zhang didn't dare to delay and quickly changed the tableware.

At this moment, Nanny Zhang's hands were shaking a little. Ye Jintang looked at her in confusion. She shouldn't be so panicked about such a small thing.

"Lüzhu, go to my small storeroom and get another set of tableware."

"Yes."

Luzhu was very familiar with what Ye Jintang was holding, and she immediately trotted over to get the tableware.

Nanny Zhang was extremely nervous, not understanding what kind of tableware Luzhu could get back just because Ye Jintang said that casually.

All the ladies present were very smart, and they were more or less looking forward to seeing what kind of tableware Ye Jintang would take out for them.

Everyone sat down and the meal began immediately. When various exquisite side dishes were served, Luzhu came back with tableware.

When Nanny Zhang saw that the tableware in Luzhu's hand was exactly the same as the ones on the table, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She almost got into trouble just now.

At the same time, Aunt Zhang was also very surprised.

Generally, expensive large tableware sets are for ten people.

Noble families would buy several different sets to entertain distinguished guests. It was rare for them to buy two large sets, or more, of such expensive tableware at a time.

After all, it is impossible for twenty people to come to an important banquet at once.

It was because she knew this habit that she was worried that the tableware that Luzhu took was not suitable. She didn't expect that Ye Jintang actually had some extra ones in his hand.

That is to say, when Ye Jintang first started buying tableware, he directly bought two sets.

What kind of mansion could spend so much money? For a moment, Nanny Zhang didn't dare to think too much.

Luzhu quickly set the tableware, and at this moment Nanny Zhang's heart was still pounding.

After calming down, Nanny Zhang immediately arranged for people to investigate who was so bold as to do something under the nose of Princess Qin, showing that he simply did not take Princess Qin seriously.

Ye Yanran, who had a smug look on her face just now, instantly lost her smile when she saw the tableware being rearranged.

She totally didn't understand why Ye Jintang could come up with an identical set of tableware.

The ladies present all had their own thoughts in their minds. Ye Jintang was not as simple as they saw.
