Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam

"It's almost time, everyone please take a seat and have dinner."

After hearing what Butler Qin said, everyone walked towards the banquet hall.

This ancestral hall was originally built by the two families of Jiantuo. Next to the main hall are two side halls, which are specially used for gatherings during festivals. In addition, Qin clan members can also hold wedding banquets here, and when there are major events in the clan, they will also gather clan members here to discuss matters.

This is a separate house, located between the Qinhou Mansion and the Ningyuanbo Mansion.

The Qin clan leader and some clan elders would also live here from time to time.

Old Madam Qin, Madam Qin Hou, Gu Zhao, the old clan leader's wife, the clan leader's wife, the old madam of Xifu, Mrs. Duan, and Gu Rong sat at the same table.

After Gu Zhao helped Old Madam Qin and Madam Qin Hou's wife to sit down, he was about to stand beside Old Madam Qin and Madam Qin Hou's wife when Madam Qin Hou spoke.

"Daughter-in-law, please sit down. Today is the family reunion banquet, you don't have to serve me the food."

Duan spoke at the same time.

"Rong'er, serve the food to me and my mother-in-law."

When Gu Zhao heard what Lady Qin said, he smiled and agreed.

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

Old Madam Qin also looked at Gu Zhao with a smile.

Gu Rong didn't expect that in front of the clansmen, Duan Shi actually asked her to serve the meal. She suppressed her anger, stood up, and agreed with a smile.

"My daughter-in-law obeys."

Gu Rong saw that Gu Zhao ignored her and was about to sit down, so she said this deliberately.

"Big sister, my aunt was just being polite, why did you really sit down? Grandma and mother taught us to be well-educated and respectful to our elders after we get married..."

Gu Rong wanted to take this opportunity to step on Gu Zhao, but Gu Zhao didn't care about her words now.

"Madam of the Prince of Ningyuan, you should respect your elders. I, the wife of the Prince of Hou, choose to listen to my mother-in-law."

When Gu Zhao called her the wife of the prince, the smile on Gu Rong's face instantly changed.

Gu Zhao knew that Gu Rong cared most about status and position. If she wanted to make Gu Rong break down, she didn't need to say anything else. She just needed to call Gu Rong the wife of the young prince.

"My daughter-in-law is right. Our Qinhou Mansion is not the kind of family that would torture their daughters-in-law. Filial piety does not need to be shown in front of outsiders. Zhao'er, please sit down."

Madam Qinhou pulled Gu Zhao to sit down.

Gu Rong looked at Duan. She thought Duan would let her sit down, but she saw Duan with a cold face, motioning Gu Rong to serve her.

Gu Rong glared at Gu Zhao fiercely again, and had to start serving Duan and the old lady of the West Mansion for their meal.

Gu Rong had never served others a meal before. Duan's eyes were fixed on a certain dish, but Gu Rong was picking up other dishes.

Duan and the old lady of the West Mansion had light tastes and didn't usually eat spicy food. But Gu Zhao picked some spicy dishes for her.

Seeing a drop of oil falling on her clothes, Duan became even more angry. If it weren't for the face of the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, she would have slapped her again.

Gu Rong saw the cooking oil dripping on her mother-in-law's clothes. There was a big and obvious stain that ruined her mother-in-law's clothes, and she immediately became anxious.

"Mother-in-law, please have some soup."

Gu Rong scooped a bowl of soup and wanted to serve it to Duan, but the maid who passed by and served the dishes accidentally bumped into her. The bowl of soup was directly poured on Duan.

The hot soup scalded her and stained her clothes, causing her to scream in pain.

"Ah, you want to burn me to death?"

Duan slapped him directly.

"Snapped."

Gu Rong didn't expect Duan to hit her again. She didn't stand firmly and fell directly on the table, knocking over a lot of food on the table. The bowl of soup also spilled out, scalding her.
