Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Just as Zhongyu Liuying was still secretly plotting, Ye Leng’an suddenly spoke again, “Ruiling, there’s still one more question.”
As soon as Ye Lengan opened her mouth, Zhongyu Liuyings brows twitched involuntarily. She had a feeling that whatever Ye Lengan was about to say wouldn’t be to her liking.
“What is it?” Huangfu Ruilings tone was gentle when talking to Ye Leng’an.
“It’s about Auntie and Second Auntie jointly managing domestic affairs,” Ye Lengan said with a smile, “Both of them have equal authority, which can provide checks and balances and mutual supervision, which is a good thing. However, conflicts may arise between them, and if they disagree frequently, you’d have to make many decisions. In the end, won’t you effectively be in control of the domestic affairs? So, 1 think that if they end up managing it in a chaotic manner, you should be prepared to make decisions.”
Huangfu Ruilings eyes betrayed a hint of contemplation, and he added, “If the two of you can’t handle it, regardless of who’s causing trouble behind the scenes, I’ll take back that authority. Furthermore, I’ll bring back Butler Ford from abroad to assist you.”
Although he described it as assistance, it was clear that he intended to supervise to prevent any mischief from either of them.
This left Zhongyu Liuying seething with anger. She hadn’t even begun her actions, and Ye Leng’an’s words had already rendered her plans unworkable. If she did try to undermine Nangong Xiyu secretly, the ultimate outcome would be the revocation of both their powers. Moreover, with Ford in the picture, any covert actions on her part would be exceedingly challenging.
This Ye Lengan was truly their nemesis. No, it was more accurate to say that she was the bane of their entire family. As long as Ye Lengan was around, their lives would be far from easy.
Upon hearing this decision, Nangong Xiyu didn’t feel any discomfort. Instead, she was elated and said with a smile, “Ruiling, rest assured, Sister-in-law and
I will ensure the smooth management of domestic affairs. You have nothing to worry about.”
Initially, she hadn’t thought much of the situation. However, upon witnessing
Zhongyu Liuyings displeased expression, she suddenly understood. Zhongyu Liuying was undoubtedly contemplating clandestine mischief. However, all her avenues were now blocked.
If Zhongyu Liuying indeed intended to act covertly, then she could go ahead and try. Nangong Xiyu didn’t mind. Half of the management authority over domestic affairs was essentially a gift to her. If something did happen, she’d ensure it was exposed, and then she’d willingly hand over the management authority alongside Zhongyu Liuying.
Nangong Xiyu was unsympathetic and wondered if Zhongyu Liuying had the determination for such a move.
After the matter was settled, everyone dispersed, and the banquet continued. However, the expressions of those present varied.
Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying wore expressions as though they had swallowed a bitter pill. In contrast, Huangfu Jingxian’s complexion was fine, and Nangong Xiyu was beaming with joy. It seemed that they had encountered something delightful.
Looking at Nangong Xiyu’s cheerful countenance, Zhongyu Liuying had an urge to scratch her face. If it weren’t for Nangong Xiyu’s interference, she would still firmly control the management of domestic affairs. Now, not only was she sharing half of her authority, but she couldn’t take any actions. How could she feel comfortable with this?
Nangong Xiyu completely ignored Zhongyu Liuyings displeasure. She moved around the banquet like a butterfly, engaging in cheerful conversations with others.
Of course, many people noticed her radiant expression and inquired whether something good had happened.
Nangong Xiyu didn’t conceal anything and openly shared the news about her imminent acquisition of half of the management authority over domestic affairs. Subsequently, everyone began to shower her with compliments.
Soon, this news circulated throughout the entire banquet hall. It provided a clear understanding to everyone. The current head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Ruiling, did not have a good relationship with his parents.. Otherwise, why would he entrust half of his mother’s authority to his Second Auntie? Wouldn’t it be better to let his biological mother continue managing it? It was evident that he didn’t have full confidence in his biological mother!
