After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

All the relatives of the Wei and Liu families were seated at the main table, even overshadowing the princesses and other noble ladies.

Some members of the Liu family were very proud and ate happily.

Some other relatives of the Wei family felt a little uneasy. They pulled Wei Ruxuan over and asked in a low voice: "Princess, isn't it inappropriate for us to sit here? Several princesses and consorts are in the back."

Wei Ruxuan raised her eyebrows: "Today is our Rui County Prince's Mansion hosting a banquet. You are my relatives and should be the most honorable. What's inappropriate about that?"

The relative who asked the question was still a little uneasy, and moved his lips: "I'm afraid that other people will be angry..."

Wei Ruxuan has been feeling depressed and bullied since she married Xiao Jiashan. Today she finally got her chance to feel proud. She wanted to show her relatives what a good life she is living.

"They are angry? What right do they have to be angry?" Wei Ruxuan said with a smile, "Aunt, don't worry. Since you are here at our house, just be bold."

Meanwhile, others were talking in low voices.

"Why are all the people from the Wei family sitting at the main table? Both main tables are full."

"Even the Zheng family and the royal family are ranked behind the Wei family..."

"They are the family of Princess Rui. It seems that Princess Rui takes good care of her family."

"The Wei family is understandable. The Liu family is the Rui County Princess's maternal family, so why is it the same?"

"..."

A woman sneered, "The family of Princess Rui? Who doesn't know that Princess Rui's mother was deprived of her imperial title by the emperor? I won't accompany you if your whole family makes trouble here. I'm leaving first."

The person who was speaking was the mother of the Seventh Prince's Consort Zheng Jiaolian, who was also the wife of the second master of the Zheng family.

Madam Zheng II did not look happy. She was unwilling to be suppressed by the Wei family. She did not say much to Wei Ruxuan and left.

Zheng Jiaolian couldn't stop her mother, so she smiled at the others and said, "My mother is not feeling well today, so she's going home first."

This little situation soon reached Wei Ruxuan's ears.

Wei Ruxuan sneered: "A second wife thinks she is the queen. If she wants to leave, she can leave. I won't keep her."

As soon as Madam Zheng II left, two older princesses found excuses to leave.

Others did not have such confidence and strength. After all, Prince Rui was the Queen's biological son. They gave face to Prince Rui's Mansion and did not leave even though they were not very happy.

However, many people saw Yan Yu sitting at a table in the back corner and became interested.

Yan Yu seldom goes out on weekdays, and many people want to deal with the Qin Palace but can't find a way.

Today, Yan Yu and the two ladies of the Shao family sat together in silence, with only Princess Xianyi sitting next to them. Then several ladies boldly sat at Yan Yu's table, hoping to chat and get close to him during the meal.

Some people even came to Yan Yu with evil intentions to sow discord between them.

"I don't understand how Princess Rui arranged for you to sit here." One of them said with a smile, "If it were me, I would definitely not be able to stand this and would have to go up and ask why."

Yan Yu smiled and said nothing.

She is not magnanimous.

I just simply don't want to take the lead in causing trouble.

If the matter gets out of hand and reaches the emperor's ears, it won't be good.

Yan Yu knew clearly that the emperor favored Xiao Chengji, not herself, the Princess of Qin.

No matter how arrogant and domineering Xiao Chengji was, the emperor could tolerate it.

If Princess Yan Yu was as domineering as Xiao Chengji...

Then she must think her life is too long.

Now that Xiao Chengji is not in the capital, Yan Yu doesn't want to cause trouble.

She won't care too much about things that can be overcome by just forbearance.

Besides, Yan Yu's status is outstanding among them, but his seniority is not outstanding. There are several old princesses who are older than Yan Yu, and there are also princesses who are on the same level as Princess Xianyi. They didn't say anything, so why should Yan Yu be the first to speak out?

The person who wanted to stir up trouble continued to add fuel to the fire: "If the King of Qin knew about this, he would probably be unhappy. Everyone knows that the Emperor likes the King of Qin? Every time the Emperor attends an event, the King of Qin is by his side."

Yan Yu took a sip of tea and whispered, "Our prince is very generous and doesn't get angry so easily. The guest should follow the host's wishes. Princess Rui may have her reasons for making such an arrangement. Madam is really curious, so why not go and ask her."

The person who fanned the flames was choked and smiled awkwardly for a long time.

The food was served soon.

When the dishes came, everyone was stunned again.

Today, there were ten tables in total for the female family members. The Wei and Liu families occupied two tables, the royal family members occupied three tables, and the wives of officials occupied five tables.

The five tables of the Wei family and the royal family were all filled with rare dishes and fine wines, including shark fins, bear paws, abalone and sea cucumbers. Even the plates that served these dishes were sets of exquisite and rare gold cups and jade plates.

The dishes and drinks on the five tables of officials' wives looked very ordinary. The most eye-catching main dish was the deep-fried crispy large sea bass placed in the middle, and the rest were some dishes commonly seen in restaurants. The plates used to serve the dishes were more commonly seen in the palace and in other homes.

Wei Ruxuan smiled and held the wine cup to toast the royal family members one by one.

Before this, Yan Yu was introduced by Princess Xianyi and left a good impression among the royal family as a well-educated and well-mannered person.

Wei Ruxuan has always felt regretful and wanted these people to look at her with new eyes.

She had thought about today's incident for a long time. She felt that the wives of officials and members of the royal family were treated to separate dishes. The royal family must be flattered and feel that they were treating them well.

The dishes on Yan Yu's table were naturally ordinary, and no one picked up their chopsticks as they watched.

Princess Xianyi's face turned pale, and she kept muttering: "This is ridiculous! It's really ridiculous!"

The wife of the Minister of Rites and the two wives of cabinet ministers got up and left without saying a word.

The royal family members in the front row were so embarrassed that they didn't know what to do.

They really don't want to be treated differently in public.

To be honest, it's not like they can't afford bear paws and shark fins. They are not rare things for them or for other ministers' wives.

Those who came here were all prominent families in the capital. Most of them were from noble families for three generations. If they were not from noble families, they had climbed up to power step by step. No one would look down on such small amounts of food.

Wei Ruxuan didn't notice that everyone was unhappy. Seeing the different expressions on the faces of the princesses and princesses in front of her, she thought they had discovered her good intentions and were feeling complacent.

Several wives of powerful officials could not stand such humiliation and left one after another.

Yan Yu didn't taste anything, just drank some tea.

There was not much movement from the female members, and overall it was calm.

The tables of male guests caused a huge commotion.
