“I’ll find an opportunity to clarify this matter in the future.” Zhongyu Liuying raised her head and coldly glanced at Nangong Xiyu before continuing,

“Sister-in-law, don’t worry so much. If you have time, focus on taking care of Ruihang. We don’t want him to cause any trouble that could harm the reputation of our Huangfu family.”

Hearing Zhongyu Liuying mention her son’s shortcomings, a dark glint flashed in Nangong Xiyu’s eyes, though she didn’t let it show on her face and maintained her smile. “Why wait for the future? Today’s occasion is just right, isn’t it? If you can’t bring yourself to ask, I can certainly do it for you.” However, Zhongyu Liuying seemed to underestimate the situation. No matter how troublesome her son might be, he still quite respected his own parents. Zhongyu Liuyings son was indeed impressive. But now, her outstanding elder son had directly seized her husband’s position as the family head.

Did Zhongyu Liuying truly believe she could still act arrogantly in this situation? Even though Huangfu Ruiling was her son, there was hardly any affection between them.

“Do you think you’re meddling too much?” Zhongyu Liuyings expression grew cold. “Or do you believe that as the biological mother of the current family head, I can’t handle the domestic affairs?”

Huangfu Jingzhang spoke as well, not targeting Nangong Xiyu but addressing Huangfu Jingxian. “Jingxian, you should take care of your wife. Some matters are beyond her purview.”

Now that he had lost his family head position, he couldn’t let his wife lose her control over the domestic affairs. Besides, he could sense that Nangong Xiyu was intentionally causing trouble.

He hadn’t held his younger brother and sister-in-law in high regard. In his memory, Huangfu Jingxian had been a hedonistic son who excelled at revelry and entertainment. However, after getting married, he had toned down his lifestyle considerably. Now, he felt an air of provocation as his brother’s wife pressed on.

“Big brother, 1 think Xiyu has a point.” Surprisingly, Huangfu Jingxian stood by his wife’s side. “Some matters should be clarified, especially when they concern power. We can’t afford to be careless.”

Hearing Huangfu Jingxian’s rebuttal, Huangfu Jingzhang was taken aback. Until now, his younger brother had been somewhat submissive in his presence. Yet now, he dared to openly contradict him, which was preposterous.

Contemplating this, Huangfu Jingzhang gave his younger brother a warning look.

Huangfu Jingxian remained unafraid and practically dismissive. Their brotherly relationship was neither close nor strained; it was simply ordinary. Even when his brother had been the family head, he had mostly accepted his orders. However, now that his brother had relinquished his position, did he still need to be accommodating?

The tense atmosphere attracted the attention of those nearby, who observed without daring to draw close. They couldn’t overhear the conversation, but they sensed something amiss in the atmosphere.

At that moment, Li San approached and announced, “Master, Second Master, Madam, and Second Madam, the family head has requested your presence.

Hearing this, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuyings expressions immediately darkened. On the other hand, Huangfu Jingxian and Nangong Xiyu showed no change in expression and promptly followed Li San.

The four of them soon stood before Huangfu Ruiling.

Facing Huangfu Ruiling, despite being their elders, they struggled to assert their authority. Even Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying couldn’t display their parents’ authority in front of him, and they even felt a sense of unease under the gaze of his piercing eyes.

Seeing that the four of them remained silent, Huangfu Ruiling said to them, “Say it! What’s going on? You almost started a quarrel in the banquet hall.. Do you realize that your actions could harm the reputation of the Huangfu family?”
