Qin Wan dressed up specially. She wasn't dressed too gorgeously, but she looked very youthful and lively. When she stood there, she looked like a young girl in her twenties, so delicate and tender that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Young lady, you are so beautiful."

Qin Wan looked at her maids, all wearing rabbit fur jackets that made their faces look even whiter and more delicate. "You're all so well-bred. Now dressed like the daughters of some wealthy family. When you get married, I'll prepare a nice dowry for you."

Qin Wan didn't urge them to get married, but she didn't stop them from getting married either. She couldn't stop others from finding happiness just because her own marriage failed.

Yijia was thoughtful and prepared a few more sets of clothes. "Let's each bring one set. At a banquet like this, it's easy for things like clothes to get dirty or something goes wrong while changing. Let's bring extra to be sure. We'll also hire two more drivers and prepare an extra carriage. One will be stationed outside the Pingyang Marquis's mansion, and one inside, to prevent any accidents."

Qin Wan looked at them and saw that they had even prepared tea. She couldn't help but smile, "There's no need to be so nervous."

Tao Yao rolled her eyes. "The Bai family was so eager to post a message for you. There must be some conspiracy. It's never too careful."

The maids had indeed prepared so many things that two carriages could not hold them all, so they needed three carriages to reach the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

Before they reached the door, two servants, two old women, and two little girls got off the third carriage, stuffed some silver into the old woman at the back door, and went into the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

The carriage stopped at the back door, with two coachmen guarding it.

The remaining two carriages arrived at the main gate. The carriage Qin Wan was riding in stopped at the gate. After Qin Wan got off the carriage, she entered the mansion through the side door. The other carriage was parked far away at the main gate, and there were also two coachmen to pick her up.

Bai Wanyi, wearing a heavy imperial robe and a heavy crown, greeted the guests at the main entrance.

She gave a beautifully printed brochure to every person who came in.

Seeing Qin Wan, Bai Wanyi laughed: "I thought you didn't dare to come."

Qin Wan looked at her and said, "It's strange that the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion is here to welcome guests and not go in to wait for the newlyweds to serve tea."

The newlyweds offering tea meant they were inferior to each other, but the new wife was the co-wife, so to put it nicely, she could be called "sister." To put it bluntly, the two were equals, their status was equal, and neither was superior to the other.

Bai Wanyi immediately understood what she meant, and the smile on his face faded. He sternly shoved a booklet into her hand and said, "Come on in! I've prepared a good seat for you. You'll definitely see a good show."

"Oh, the enemy of my enemy is my friend?" Qin Wan didn't move. Zhenzhen reached out and took the booklet.

Bai Wanyi rolled her eyes. She didn't dare move her neck. If she did, it would hurt her scalp. "I just don't believe that if your ex gets married and the bride isn't you, you won't be sad."

"What's your argument?" Qin Wan tilted her head to look at Bai Wanyi, her big blinking eyes showing that she really didn't understand.

Bai Wanyi was really going to be pissed off at Qin Wan. They were obviously of similar age, but why did she still look so naive?

I found a white hair in the mirror this morning, and there are a few fine lines at the corners of my eyes.

Is this the benefit of not having children?

Bai Wanyi didn't realize how ugly and hideous her face was twisted at the moment. "Don't you have any feelings for Brother Yan? If you didn't have any feelings, how could you agree to marry him? If you didn't have any feelings, how could you stay with him for eight years?"

At this moment, people were coming and going at the gate of the Marquis's mansion. When Marquis Pingyang was marrying his ex-wife, his current wife Bai Wanyi openly questioned his ex-wife whether she still had feelings for him.

Not only Qin Wan found it funny, everyone else also found it funny and stopped to look at the two of them.

With others watching, Bai Wanyi straightened his back even more. This time he really couldn't lower his head, because the crown would really fall off.

Qin Wan didn't even think twice before saying, "Marriage is determined by parents and matchmakers. My marriage was arranged by the old Marquis of your mansion. Oh, I'm not talking about Marquis Pingyang's father, but his grandfather. He earned this family fortune through military exploits. The illustrious Marquis Lu was on his deathbed and arranged it in front of Your Majesty."

"If you ask me if I'm willing, I'm sorry. I was young at the time and didn't know what marriage meant, let alone love. I only knew that marrying the Marquis of Pingyang was my responsibility to both families."

"As for the eight years you mentioned, isn't that what should be done?"

She tilted her head and looked at Bai Wanyi with a smile in her eyes: "Do you think you will remarry someone else just because your husband is away fighting for his country and his people?"

Bai Wanyi watched helplessly as Qin Wan dug a hole for herself, waiting for her to jump in. She was speechless and could only grit her teeth and squeeze out two almost inaudible words: "treacherous!"

Qin Wan innocently repeated her words so that everyone could hear: "What is treacherous? My loyalty to my wife is treacherous."

Making excuses!

Bai Wan was so angry that he couldn't speak, and his whole body was shaking.

Seeing this, Chu Yun quickly came to her rescue: "Miss, Madam Chen is already waiting for you inside, please go in first. Ladies and young ladies, the banquet has been prepared, please take your seats."

Qin Wan nodded slightly and followed Chu Yun into the room.

The ladies at the back looked at Qin Wan and then at Bai Wanyi, shaking their heads.

"After all, I come from a humble family."

"When aristocratic families marry, it's all about profit. Talking about feelings is the biggest joke."

"Wishing to find a devoted person, to be with you till old age, is but a beautiful wish. Who can truly achieve it?"

Someone sighed leisurely.

Bai Wanyi suddenly came to her senses. Yes, everyone is seeking benefits, isn't she the same? Seeking sincerity in the midst of benefits, really stupid!
