Chapter 178 Something Happened
While Zhong Yuliuying was still thinking about it, Ye Leng'an suddenly spoke again, "Ruiling, there is one more question."
As soon as Ye Leng'an opened his mouth, Zhong Yuliuying's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch. She always felt that what Ye Leng'an said was definitely not what she wanted to hear.
"What?" When facing Ye Leng'an, Huangfu Ruiling's tone was very gentle.
"Auntie and Second Aunt are in charge of the back house together!" Ye Leng'an said with a smile, "They have equal power, they can restrain each other and supervise each other, which is a good thing. But after all, when teeth and tongues fight, if two people have too many disagreements, then you have to make too many decisions. Then in the end, isn't the back house actually still in your charge?"
"So, I think, if the management of the two of them is really chaotic, then you have to make a decision!"
Huangfu Ruiling's eyes flashed with deep thought, and then he continued, "If you two can't manage it well, no matter who is behind the scenes, I will take back that power. In addition, I will transfer Ford's butler back from abroad to help you."
It is said to be helping, but in fact it is also the role of supervision, preventing either of the two of them from doing bad things.
As soon as these words came out, Zhong Yuliuying was so angry that she was about to vomit blood. She didn't expect that before she even started to do anything, Ye Leng'an's words would make it impossible for her to carry out all her plans.
If she really made things difficult for Nangong Xiyu secretly, the final result would be that both of them's rights would be taken back. Moreover, now that Ford is watching, even if she wants to use some means secretly, it will be very difficult.
This Ye Leng'an is really her nemesis. No, it should be said to be the nemesis of their family. As long as this night is cold, their life will be difficult.
Nangong Xiyu on the side didn't feel a bit uncomfortable after hearing such a decision. Instead, she was very happy and said with a smile, "Ruiling, don't worry, my sister-in-law and I will manage everything in the back house together, so don't worry."
At first she didn't think there was anything wrong, but after seeing Zhong Yuliuying's ugly face, she came to her senses. This Zhong Yuliuying must be planning to play tricks secretly. But now all roads are blocked.
Now, if Zhong Yuliuying really wants to do something secretly, then just do it! She didn't care at all. She took half of the management rights of the back house for nothing. At that time, if something really happened, she would definitely make a big fuss, and then hand over the management rights with Zhong Yuliuying.
She won't feel bad, but she doesn't know if Zhong Yuliuying has such determination.
After the matter was decided, everyone dispersed, and the banquet was still going on.
However, everyone's expressions were different.
Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhong Yuliuying's faces were ugly, as if they had eaten dead flies. In stark contrast to them, Huangfu Jingxian's complexion was good, and Nangong Xiyu's face was even more cheerful, one could tell at a glance that it was a happy event.
Looking at the smile on Nangong Xiyu's face, Zhong Yuliuying wanted to scratch her face. Because, if it wasn't because of Nangong Xiyu's disturbance, the management of the back house is still firmly in her hands. Now not only is half of the power distributed, but she can't do anything. How could this make her feel comfortable!
Nangong Xiyu didn't care about Zhong Yuliuying's ugly face at all, she shuttled around the banquet like a butterfly, talking and laughing happily with people.
Of course, many people saw her good face and tentatively asked if something good happened.
Nangong Xiyu didn't hide anything, and directly revealed the happy event that she was about to take over half of the management rights of the Houzhai. Then, everyone started to flatter her.
Soon, the news spread throughout the banquet hall.
Such news also gave everyone a clear understanding. That is, the relationship between Huangfu Ruiling, the current head of the Huangfu family, and his parents is not good. Otherwise, half of this power would not be given to the second aunt. Wouldn't it be good to continue to let my biological mother take care of it? This is obviously worrying about his biological mother!
Even if Zhong Yuliuying didn't hear it, she probably knew what kind of gossip these people would say next. However, she couldn't stop Nangong Xiyu. Because what the other party said is the truth.
Huangfu Jingzhang's complexion was also very bad, because although Huangfu Ruiling's actions were aimed at Zhong Yuliuying, it seemed to have slapped him severely. He secretly hated in his heart, it would be great if Huangfu Ruiling died in that incident! Then none of this would happen today.
At the same time, he also complained about Zhong Yuliuying. Because, if Zhong Yuliuying had been able to convince Ye Leng'an back then, there would be no handover ceremony tonight, and he is still the head of the Huangfu family. Even if it is only in name, it can bring him a lot of face and benefits.
Moreover, if Zhong Yuliuying hadn't been incompetent to guard her own things tonight, she wouldn't have been robbed of half of her power by the second room.
At this time, Zhong Yuliuying didn't notice Huangfu Jingzhang's dissatisfaction with her. After looking around the venue, she found that she didn't see her youngest son. She felt a little puzzled, "Jingzhang, tell me, where did Ruixiang go? It's only been a long time since the banquet started, why didn't you see anyone else?"
"How do I know?" Huangfu Jingzhang's tone was impatient, "He is so old, he will never get lost. Why do you care so much about him!"
"I just find it strange." Zhong Yuliuying said with a little hesitation, "It's not long since the banquet started, and Ruixiang won't leave at this time."
"If you have time now, you should think about how to seize the power in the house in your hands!" Huangfu Jingzhang said angrily, "Although you and Nangong Xiyu are in charge now, everything has not been settled yet. Think about it yourself, what should you do next!"
Sensing the dissatisfaction in Huangfu Jingzhang's words, Zhong Yuliuying did not continue to say anything. However, she listened to these words, and began to think about what to do next.
On the other side, the atmosphere between Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an was much better, they were talking and laughing.
"It can be seen that your mother was very angry with you just now!" Ye Leng'an's tone contained a trace of gloating, "I'm afraid she hates you now. Not only your mother, but your father should too."
"If I remember correctly, you should be the one who proposed this suggestion!" Hearing what Ye Leng'an said, Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Why does the responsibility all fall on me now?"
"But, the one who makes the final decision is you!" Ye Leng'an was confident, "Plus, don't forget what day it is today! You just took away the seat of the head of the family today, and now you take away half of the power in the back house. No matter how you look at it, it's you who are more disgusting!"
Hearing Ye Leng'an's fallacies, Huangfu Ruiling gave a doting smile.
"Let's not talk about that." Ye Leng'an changed the subject, "When will the family competition in the hidden world start? I want to ask for leave early."
"Just one month later," Huangfu Ruiling said, "all major families will send elite children to participate. Compared with the previous ones, the rewards this time are much richer, so the major families are ready to move."
"There are rewards for this?" Ye Leng'an was a little surprised, "I thought it was just an ordinary competition!"
"Of course there are rewards." Huangfu Ruiling explained with a smile, "If it was just an ordinary competition, the major families would not care too much about it. In order to motivate the children of the major families to make progress, there will be this family competition. Once every four years, and each time the rewards will be issued by those major families. When the family wins, the rewards can be taken away."
"So it's still a paid competition!" Ye Leng'an nodded seriously, "No wonder you seem to attach great importance to this big competition."
"It's not just for rewards, but also for getting ahead." Huangfu Ruiling continued, "If you perform well in the family competition, you can attract the attention of the family, and maybe you can focus on training at that time. Who wouldn't want to seize such an opportunity!"
Ye Leng'an nodded, and then asked, "Don't talk so much, just tell me what this year's reward is!"
"It is the priority mining right of a spirit vein mine." Huangfu Ruiling's eyes flashed a faint light, "This time the reward was not provided by several big families, but from the law enforcement team. The law enforcement team found a spirit vein mine in the hidden world. Although the quality of the spirit stones inside is not known, it has never been mined."
"The family that won the first place in the family competition this time can obtain the mining rights of the Lingmai Mine for three years. After three years, the Lingmai Mine will be returned to the law enforcement team."
"Such rewards are indeed very attractive." Ye Leng'an was also a little shocked, "I didn't expect that the law enforcement team is really generous! However, I often hear you mention the law enforcement team. What is the status of the law enforcement team in the hidden world?"
"The Law Enforcement Team is equivalent to the government department of the Mortal World." Huangfu Ruiling explained, "It manages the affairs of the entire Hidden World, and has formulated many rules. All people in the Hidden World must abide by the rules set by the Law Enforcement Team, otherwise they will be punished."
Ye Lengan understood, and then continued to ask about some things about the hidden world.
Huangfu Ruiling explained patiently without any impatience.
A servant came over in a hurry with a strange expression on his face. However, she didn't dare to come over directly, but stopped in front of Li San, and whispered a few words.
Li San frowned, then walked over, and stood in front of Huangfu Ruiling, hesitant to speak.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Huangfu Ruiling said flatly, "There is nothing to hide."
Li San immediately said, "Master, something happened. Master Ruixiang and Miss Yiran, they... They were found to be together."
"Cough, cough, cough!" Before Huangfu Ruiling could respond, Ye Leng'an choked on his own saliva, "You said, did the two of them sleep together?"
This is really a big surprise! What exactly happened in this, there is such a godly development.
"That, master." Li San took a look at Huangfu Ruiling, and continued to speak, "Now Madam is making a big fuss, saying that she wants to drive Miss Yiran away. The banquet is still going on, how should we deal with this matter?"
After thinking for a while, Huangfu Ruiling said, "Go and have a look first."
Li San pushed Huangfu Ruiling, and Ye Leng'an followed beside him. Soon, a group of three came to the upstairs room.
As soon as you enter the room, you can feel the oppressive atmosphere inside.
Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhong Yuliuying were sitting on the sofa, with stern faces, it could be seen that they were very angry. As for Huangfu Ruixiang, he was sitting on another sofa, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking. Only Zhong Yuyiran was standing there, with red marks on her face and tears in her eyes, as if they were about to fall at any moment. Her hair was also messy, and her clothes were not neat, as if she had put them on randomly.
Seeing such a situation, Ye Leng'an couldn't help but curse inwardly, this Huangfu Ruixiang is really a scumbag! Whatever the reason, the two rolled onto the bed. However, since there were two people who were discovered, Zhong Yuyiran shouldn't be the only one standing there like a sinner.
Of course, she didn't sympathize with Zhong Yuyiran. Because, if she guessed correctly, everything today should have been calculated by Zhong Yuyiran. She just couldn't get used to Huangfu Ruixiang's appearance of having nothing to do with her.
"Rui Ling, you came just in time." As soon as she saw Huangfu Ruiling, Zhong Yuliuying immediately said, "You send Li Yiran away now, I don't want to see her again."
What happened today, she could never have imagined.
At first, she just wanted to find a room to rest, but unexpectedly, after entering the room, she saw Huangfu Ruixiang and Li Yiran lying on the bed together. Moreover, with the ambiguous smell in the room, one can guess what happened to these two people just now.
This is completely unacceptable to her. All along, she had treated Zhong Yuyiran like a daughter, and she was even planning to let Ruiling accept Yiran as his lover after she got married.
But, what she saw now, Li Yiran was actually having **** with her youngest son. In the past, Li Yiran had always shown how much she liked Huangfu Ruiling, but now she suddenly got involved with Ruixiang. Isn't this because she was circling between her two sons?
This is something she cannot accept. Now she even felt that if Li Yiran continued to be named Zhong Yu, it would be an insult to the surname.
Zhong Yuyiran, no, it should be called Li Yiran now.
After hearing Zhong Yuliuying's words, her face immediately turned pale. Naturally, she did not miss Zhong Yuliuying's address to her.
At the beginning, she got this surname only after courting Zhong Yuliuying in every possible way. However, now Zhong Yuliuying has directly deprived her of the surname Zhong Yu. This also shows that Zhong Yuliuying really hates her now.
"Who can tell me what happened first?" Huangfu Ruiling ignored Zhong Yuliuying's words, but asked, "Huangfu Ruixiang, tell me, what happened?"
"This—" Huangfu Ruixiang looked distressed, "Actually, I don't remember clearly, I just remember that I seemed to be drunk. Then when I entered the room, I found that there seemed to be a woman on the bed. After that, I impulsively—"
"It must have been designed by Li Yiran." Before Huangfu Ruixiang finished speaking, Zhong Yuliuying immediately said, "She designed to climb into Ruixiang's bed just to marry into our Huangfu family."
"No, I'm not!" Li Yiran looked aggrieved, and she immediately opened her mouth to defend herself, "I was resting well in the room at the time, but Brother Ruixiang broke in suddenly, and then...I wanted to resist, but Brother Ruixiang's strength was too great, and I couldn't resist at all."
"Bitch." Hearing these words, Zhong Yuliuying couldn't help but stood up, and then slapped Li Yiran across the face, "You were the one who seduced Ruixiang, but now you still say that you are a victim. I was really blind at the time, and I would keep you, a bitch, by my side."
"No, auntie, I don't." Li Yiran kept shaking her head, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Okay, Mom."
At this moment, Huangfu Ruixiang stood up, pulled Li Yiran behind him, and said, "The matter is still unclear, so you don't need to be so excited."
Li Yiran stood behind Huangfu Ruixiang, with her head down, unable to see the expression on her face clearly. At this moment, she didn't have any confidence in her heart. Because it was completely different from what she expected. She originally thought that as long as she slept with Huangfu Ruixiang and made things big, Huangfu Ruixiang would marry her.
She could tell that Huangfu Ruixiang had a good impression of her. That's why it's all designed. However, everything from the incident to the present has been beyond her expectations.
Because after the incident happened, Huangfu Ruixiang never said a word about being responsible. Even when Zhong Yuliuying beat her just now, she didn't stop her. Although he was standing in front of her now, he still didn't say anything useful.
"Ruiling, today's matter must be resolved as soon as possible." It was Huangfu Jingzhang who spoke. He glanced at Li Yiran behind Huangfu Ruixiang, and a scorn flashed in his eyes, "Give Li Yiran some money, and then send her away!"
He didn't have a deep impression of Li Yiran. In the past, Li Yiran often followed Zhong Yuliuying to please her. He didn't pay much attention to this. In his opinion, this is just raising one more person.
However, now Li Yiran and Huangfu Ruixiang are actually getting together. This made him unacceptable. It was absolutely impossible for such a lowly girl to marry into the Huangfu family.
However, fortunately, from the beginning until now, Ruixiang has never said that he wants to marry Li Yiran. This still makes him quite satisfied. At least, his son is still very sober and knows what kind of person can be a partner.
"No, I don't want to leave." Li Yiran stretched out her hand, grabbed Huangfu Ruixiang's hand tightly, and begged, "Brother Ruixiang, don't drive me away, okay? You let me stay by your side, no matter what you want me to do, I will do it."
At this moment, her heart is very empty. Because she found that everything was different from what she had planned, at least in her plan, it was absolutely impossible for Huangfu Ruixiang not to react at all.
She knew that no matter what, she must not be sent away. If he was really sent away, he would really have no chance in the future.
Huangfu Ruixiang turned his head, seeing Li Yiran's pear blossoms in tears, he couldn't help feeling distressed. He stretched out his hand to wipe Li Yiran's tears.
However, just as soon as he started, Zhong Yuliuying pulled him away.
"Li Yiran, right in front of us, you dare to seduce Ruixiang." Zhong Yuliuying's eyes were full of disgust, "I tell you, don't think that you can marry into the Huangfu family because you designed Ruixiang. It's impossible. You are an orphan, and you want to be the young mistress of the Huangfu family. It's just a dream."
"I didn't, I really didn't." Li Yiran kept shaking her head, trying to deny Zhong Yuliuying's accusation.
Ye Leng'an on the side watched it with great interest, this is really a **** drama for a wealthy family! Just don't know how it will end.
She has not forgotten the bet with Huangfu Ruiling. However, judging from now, her odds of winning don't seem to be great!
It seems that Huangfu Ruixiang has no intention of marrying Li Yiran. It seems that Li Yiran was really too anxious, and acted rashly, even Huangfu Ruixiang didn't know what kind of treatment she was. Now it can be said that he has lost his wife and lost his army.
"Ruiling, say something!" Zhong Yuliuying looked at Huangfu Ruiling, and said directly, "You give the order now and send Li Yiran away. I feel uncomfortable seeing her now."
Huangfu Ruiling ignored Zhong Yuliuying, but looked at Huangfu Ruixiang, and said directly, "You are one of the parties involved, tell me what you think now!"
Li Yiran immediately raised her head and looked expectantly at Huangfu Ruixiang, as if she was waiting for Huangfu Ruixiang to say what she wanted to hear.
At this moment, she was extremely nervous. Because she knew that what Huangfu Ruixiang said next would determine her fate. If Huangfu Ruixiang really didn't care about her, then she would really be sent away, and she would never be able to step into the Huangfu family again.
