"Entertain guests?" Han Nian'an's face froze again.

Even if she is a concubine, today is her wedding day. It doesn't make sense for a bride to entertain guests. Besides, she hasn't even met Zhou Yihong yet, so how can she change out of her wedding dress?

"Mother, this is inappropriate, after all..."

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. As I said before, you married in as a concubine, and a concubine is a servant. There are so many officials and their wives here today. You can serve them tea and water, which will also show our mansion's gratitude for their coming today."

Han Nian'an's expression was completely tense. Serving tea and water? That was clearly a servant's job. Qin was simply insulting her.

Anger welled up in Han Nian'an's heart, and she was about to say no, but Qin had already anticipated her reaction and said directly: "If you don't want to, you can leave now, return the sedan chair, and just pretend that our mansion didn't take a concubine today."

This one sentence suppressed all of Han Nian'an's anger, and she looked at Qin unwillingly.

"Mother, although my father is a low-ranking official, even if my status is insignificant, I am still the daughter of an official. Isn't it a bit too much for you to treat me like this?"

"What does your identity have to do with it?" Qin sneered. "I don't look down on you because of your identity. Do you need me to remind you of what you have done?"

In order to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, Han Nian'an even gave up her reputation and made all kinds of calculations. If people didn't give her a warning today, who knows how smug she would be in her heart.

Han Nian'an's heart tightened when he saw Qin's knowing look. The resentment and resentment he had just felt were suddenly overwhelmed by guilt and nervousness.

"What do you think? Have you thought it through? Are you going or not?" Qin urged impatiently.

Han Nian'an clenched his teeth and finally squeezed out a word from between his teeth, "Go."

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. She accepted this show of power, but she will definitely get it back in the future!

"Someone, take Aunt Han to change her clothes, and..." Seeing Han Nian'an gritting her teeth, Qin sneered in her heart, "Be happy when you see the guests later, and don't act like I'm forcing you. If you deliberately damage my reputation, don't blame me for being rude."

Han Nian'an almost bit his teeth off, but he could only respond obediently.

Following the maid to change her clothes, Han Nian'an gritted her teeth again when she saw the dress that Qin had asked someone to prepare. The style could not be simpler and the color was extremely plain. If she wore this dress, perhaps no one could tell her apart from the maid!

"I don't want to wear these. I want to change into my own dress."

"Aunt, Madam said that there are so many guests waiting in the yard, so you should hurry up and not waste time." The maid spoke with her head down.

"But today is my big wedding day. How can I be so plain and without any joy? You..."

"Auntie, this is Madam's idea. Please don't embarrass me. If you really don't want to do this, you can ask Madam for permission."

Han Nian settled down and asked Qin for instructions?

The other party is eager to see me make a fool of myself, it is obvious that she is doing it on purpose, Qin, this old witch!

Although he was extremely unhappy, Han Nian'an finally picked out one that was barely acceptable.

When she changed her dress and walked in front of Qin, Qin looked at Han Nian'an's face and deliberately said, "You look better this way. It suits you."

Han Nian'an was so angry that he cursed Qin in his heart for a long time.

Most of the officials' wives in the garden had already arrived. When they saw Qin coming, many of them smiled and congratulated her.

They didn't know Han Nian'an, and almost all their attention was on Qin.

When Jiang Suining and Chu Jingyue saw Han Nian'an, they looked at each other, and the expressions in their eyes were very obvious.

It seems that the old ones are the wisest. Looking at Qin's behavior, it seems that she doesn't even want to go through the process of taking a concubine.

Facing everyone's congratulations, Qin smiled and said, "Thank you very much, but I just had some free time today, so I thought of inviting everyone to get together. There's nothing happy about this, so there's no need to congratulate me."

As she spoke, Qin looked at Han Nian'an.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and serve tea to the ladies and ask them to take a seat."

Because of Qin's words, everyone noticed Han Nian'an.

"Madam, who is this?"

"She is our new concubine, Aunt Han." Qin glanced at Han Nian'an again, "Hurry up and pay your respects to the ladies."

Han Nian'an bowed reluctantly and said, "Nian'an greets you all."

The previous incident had caused a lot of uproar, so naturally everyone present today had heard of Han Nian'an's name. They took a look at Han Nian'an and found that he was good-looking, but his character...

Someone laughed, "So this is Miss Han, Madam, you are really too polite, how can you let today's bride pour tea for us."

"What bride? This concubine is a concubine. Not to mention our Changning Marquis Mansion, even in ordinary families, the identities of wives and concubines are clear. It is her honor to show her face in front of you and serve you today."

Qin's words have made her attitude very clear.

Among those officials' wives, there were many who wanted to marry into the Changning Houhou Mansion at first, but because of Han Nian'an's incident, they became worried that Zhou Yihong would have a concubine before he even got married, so most of them gave up the idea.

But now after hearing what Qin said, many people had the same idea again, but they also knew that Qin's attitude alone was not enough.

"Madam, why don't you see Prince Zhou?"

"He has something to do today and is out of the house. He is not here."

Qin's light words almost peeled off the last layer of Han Nian'an's face.

Many people laughed in their hearts. It seemed that Prince Zhou might not really want to marry Concubine Han, otherwise she should have stayed in the mansion no matter what.

For a moment, the last worries in those people's hearts disappeared, and the smiles on their faces became more and more obvious.

No matter they were laughing at Han Nian'an or were happy that the matter of marriage could still be considered, in Han Nian'an's view, all these laughs were just sarcasm towards her.

The red nails that were carefully dyed yesterday dug into the palm of his hand, and Han Nian'an could not even maintain the false smile on his face.

Feeling everyone's gazes, she finally looked at Jiang Suining alone. The moment her eyes met Jiang Suining's, deep hatred was revealed in her eyes.

Jiang Suining raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but feel happy.

This look...

She wasn't the one who deliberately looked down on her. Was Han Nian'an blaming herself for the mistake again?

While everyone was talking and chatting with Qin, Han Nian'an walked up to Jiang Suining and spoke in a low voice, "You must be very proud now!"

"Why do you say that?" Jiang Suining smiled faintly and pretended to be confused.

"Stop pretending. Seeing those people laughing at me, you must be very happy inside." Han Nian'an was filled with hatred.

Jiang Suining glanced at most of the people present, smiled and shook his head, "I think you probably misunderstood."

"What's the misunderstanding?" Han Nian'an asked subconsciously.

Jiang Suining looked away and looked at her, "You think they are all laughing at you, but in fact, they probably don't see you at all."
