The engagent ceremony of the head of the Huangfu family was considered a significant event in the Hidden World. Invitations had been steadily received by the major families. However, the Ye family had yet to receive an invitation from the Huangfu family.
“You may leave!” Ye Hongxuan waved his hand, dismissing the disciple who had co for the third ti today with the sa disappointing news.
After the disciple left, Lian ngzhu wore a worried expression. She raised her head, looking at Ye Hongxuan, and after a mont of contemplation, she spoke, “Hongxuan, do you think the Huangfu family might not intend to invite us?”
She understood they couldn’t attend in the na of Ye Leng’an’s parents, but not even having the qualification to attend troubled her.
“It won’t happen,” Ye Hongxuan said, though his lack of confidence was apparent. “It’s possible the invitation hasn’t been sent yet. The Ye family is a prominent alchemist family, one of the top ten alongside the Huangfu family. Even if the Huangfu family is powerful, they can’t completely disregard us. The invitation will co.”
He couldn’t tell if he was saying it for his wife’s comfort or to convince himself.
“But…” Lian ngzhu’s expression saddened. “Other major families have received the Huangfu family’s invitation, and even so smaller families. We haven’t heard anything. Isn’t that unusual?
Ye Hongxuan sighed, acknowledging the uncertainty they faced.
“Hongxuan, do you think…” Lian ngzhu hesitated before asking, “Should we send soone to the Huangfu family to inquire if they’ve forgotten our Ye family’s invitation?”
“Impossible.” Ye Hongxuan rejected the idea firmly. “We can’t. Father wouldn’t allow it either. Sending soone now would only bring sha to the Ye family.”
If the Huangfu family had indeed forgotten, it was one thing. However, if they hadn’t intended to invite the Ye family from the beginning, visiting them would be an embarrassing move.
Because of the last incident, his father had been harboring resentnt. If any rumors detrintal to the Ye family spread at this ti, he would surely be infuriated. In the end, it would be unfortunate for them.
“But, if the Ye family doesn’t receive the invitation this ti, then wouldn’t we not even be able to attend our own daughter’s engagent ceremony?” Lian ngzhu’s voice quivered. “Moreover, if the Huangfu family really doesn’t intend to invite the Ye family this ti, then rumors will still spread everywhere! Everyone will be guessing if our Ye family and the Huangfu family have fallen out.”
“We can’t do anything now. We can only continue to wait,” Ye Hongxuan said helplessly. “No matter what we do, it’s all wrong, so let’s just wait and see!”
“If the Huangfu family doesn’t give us an invitation, then we…” Lian ngzhu almost couldn’t continue. She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the sadness in her heart before continuing, “Will we not be able to attend Leng’an’s engagent ceremony?”
Ye Hongxuan could not answer, choosing instead to remain silent. The atmosphere beca particularly somber.
“Don’t think too much.” Ye Hongxuan finally consoled his wife. “Even if we can’t attend this ti, it won’t change the blood relationship between us. She might still have so opinions about us now, but ti will heal everything.”
“It won’t happen again,” Lian ngzhu muttered, “I’m afraid that Leng’an will not return to the Ye family. Father will not let her return either.”
“Don’t worry, Father will,” Ye Hongxuan asserted, “As long as Leng’an becos the matriarch of the Huangfu family, Father will definitely let Leng’an co back.”
He understood his father’s priorities, always putting the family’s interests first. As long as Leng’an could bring benefits to the Ye family, his father would compromise in the end.
Lian ngzhu fell silent. No one knew what she was thinking.
“By the way, how’s Wanwan doing now?” Ye Hongxuan suddenly asked, “Have you visited her these two days?”
“I’ve been there a few tis. Wanwan’s condition is much better than a few days ago, but her body is still very weak,” Lian ngzhu said. “She suffered a lot this ti. Moreover, because her dantian was destroyed, Wanwan can’t heal herself now. Moreover, she can’t take many pills. I’m afraid it will take a long ti for her to recover.”
She paused for a mont, considering her words, before continuing, “Leng’an was really a little too ruthless this ti. Although Wanwan had occupied her position for so many years, the main culprit of this matter was Lian Zixin. Wanwan can be considered innocent. She had no choice back then.”
Although Ye Leng’an had claid Wanwan wanted to harm her, Lian ngzhu found it hard to believe. Wanwan was raised by her and couldn’t be such a malicious child. There must be a misunderstanding.
“Don’t say these words in front of Leng’an,” Ye Hongxuan reminded her. “Her relationship with Wanwan wasn’t good to begin with. If she hears such words, she might hate Wanwan even more. It will beco even more difficult for them to get along well with each other.”
“I know.” Lian ngzhu nodded. Then, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes. “If Lian Zixin hadn’t swapped Leng’an, she wouldn’t be in this state now.”
“As for Lian Zixin, I won’t let her off.” Ye Hongxuan’s eyes flashed with a cold glint. “She must pay the price for what she has done.”
