Chapter 1318: Xiang Family Banquet 4

"Here I come."

"Huh?" The guard on the left looked over in confusion.

"Someone is coming. It looks like the government's carriages, several of them." The guard on the right pointed to a place not far away and said in surprise.

The guard on the left looked over and said, "Oh, someone's coming! I'll go report to the steward right away."

Four or five carriages arrived at the door, and the butler hurried over to greet them after hearing the news.

Leading the way was the Guan family's carriage, followed by the fathers and brothers of the daughters of the rich family who drank the poisoned tea given by Guan Mengyan at the flower-viewing banquet. They met them at the intersection of the street where they entered Yong'an Hou.

When the other four families saw the Guan family's carriage in the front, they breathed a sigh of relief. If Guan Mengyan had not poisoned Ye Qianning at the banquet, how could their daughters have made such a fool of themselves.

Ye Qianning is the most evil, and the young lady of the Guan family who brought poison into the palace is also quite vicious.

The Guan family is also vicious and should not be associated with!

Guan Qirui got out of the car, and then several adults at the back also got out. They all stood in front of the car for a few seconds, and then looked at Guan Qirui.

Guan Qirui was wondering whether he should take the initiative to step forward and greet these adults to show his politeness. After hesitating, he took a step forward.

However, just as he took a step forward, he suddenly felt eight hostile and unfriendly gazes directed at him.

Guan Qirui's face cracked for a moment, and his raised foot paused slightly in the air. He quickly changed direction and walked quickly towards the gate of Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

The guard who happened to go to report came out with the butler. The butler recognized Guan Qirui and hurriedly bowed to greet him.

Guan Qirui looked around, frowned slightly, and asked, "Isn't the Marquis of Yong'an hosting a banquet today? Why is it so deserted?"

The housekeeper explained with a smile, "The mansion and the Xiang family's banquet coincided, so many people went to the Xiang family. Our Marquis had just arrived in Beijing and didn't have many connections, so I didn't think anyone would come, so the mansion was a little deserted."

Guan Qirui scoffed at this and said, "The Xiang family is an outcast family. How can their status compare to that of the Yong'an Marquis? The Xiang family is just trying to attract others. Those who come here are just trying to curry favor with the powerful and have other ulterior motives."

The housekeeper secretly curled his lips and rolled his eyes at Guan Qirui, then smiled and agreed: "Yes, yes, what Master Guan said is absolutely right."

Sun Yang, Li An, Chen Rongzheng, Wang Changshan and other adults also came with them. They heard the conversation between the two clearly and were extremely dissatisfied with the Xiang family.

"Before coming to the capital, the Xiang family was quite pretentious. They were just trying to attract attention. They must have known the time set by Yong'an Marquis for the invitation, and they also scheduled the banquet for today. Isn't this a clear slap in the face of Yong'an Marquis?"

"That's right. The Xiang family relies on their wealth to do whatever they want. The Yong'an Marquis's family has a gold mine. How can the Xiang family compare to them?"

As Sun Yang and Li An spoke, the other two adults nodded heavily.

"Lord Sun, Lord Li is right. We must not encourage such a trend. We must support Marquis Yong'an today." Guan Qirui's words were full of dissatisfaction and indignation with the Xiang family's behavior.

“…”

Sun Yang and the other three adults looked at Guan Qirui with a look of dismay upon hearing this.

They really didn't want to talk to him, so they stood at the door to show that they were drawing a line between themselves and Guan Qirui.

Guan Qirui was speechless when he saw this. They all responded to the invitation from Marquis Yong'an together, and they were still trying to form a group. Is this interesting?
