Duke An arrived the earliest, as he was already in the outer courtyard when Ye Hongyang's servant came to invite him. He was suspicious for a moment and when he inquired about the happy occasion, the servant, looking as if his father had died, did not speak a word, so he knew nothing good was afoot.
When Ye Hongyang saw that Duke An was the first to arrive, he could not help but curse the servant for not knowing how to handle things, since he had clearly sent the message to the Duchess first.
Taking advantage of the presence of others, Ye Hongyang forcefully bore it and smiled as he invited Duke An to the seat of honor, introduced two friends, and repeatedly said they would wait for his mother and Madam Yin with her daughters to arrive before discussing the matter.
Indeed, Duke An frowned, for what could possibly be the matter that it was handled so improperly?
Following him were the Duchess and Madam Yin.
