The farce ca to an end, concluding with Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying retreating.
Li Yiran, not qualified to enter the ancestral hall, lingered outside unwillingly.
Quietly, she stood there, gazing up at the ancestral hall. Unaware of the situation inside, her heart brimd with resentnt.
She had anticipated a grand entrance but ended up alone outside, her son unrecognized by the Huangfu family.
Recalling Zhong Yating’s provoking gaze, she felt an urge to confront her.
She realized that despite Zhongyu Liuying’s efforts to elevate her status, a difference remained between her and Zhong Yating, starkly evident in today’s events.
While Zhong Yating could stand proudly by Huangfu Ruixiang’s side, she was left outside, even her son unacknowledged.
This fueled her ambition to surpass Zhong Yating and to be recognized by the Huangfu family.
She not only wanted her son to be listed in the Huangfu family genealogy but also insisted on having her own na recorded in the Huangfu family genealogy.
Unbeknownst to her, a strong ambition took root in her heart.
Despite so twists, the sacrificial ceremony proceeded smoothly, not delaying the auspicious ti.
Afterward, Huangfu Ruiling added Ye Leng’an’s na to the genealogy.
Seeing this situation, Huangfu Jingzhang still wanted to intervene, using the reason that the two were not yet married to stop them. However, when he looked up and t Huangfu Ruiling’s icy gaze, the half-step he had already taken forward gradually retreated.
As the ceremony ended, direct descendants returned to the hall while collateral relatives departed, planning to reunite for dinner on New Year’s Eve.
As for Li Yiran, she had already returned to the hall well before the conclusion of the sacrificial ceremony. At this mont, her expression was entirely natural, devoid of any resentnt. In fact, her countenance appeared remarkably serene, as if the preceding events had never occurred at all.
Upon entering the main hall at that mont, Ye Leng’an’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise when she saw Li Yiran sitting there.
She hadn’t expected Li Yiran’s adaptability to be quite good! Just monts ago, she had suffered such a huge humiliation, yet now she appeared completely unaffected. However, Ye Leng’an couldn’t shake the feeling that sothing was changing about Li Yiran.
The sacrificial ceremony had ended, and Huangfu Ruiling had no intention of staying longer. He rose to leave with Ye Leng’an.
As soon as Huangfu Ruiling got up, Zhongyu Liuying imdiately spoke up, “Ruiling, since you’re already here, it’s almost lunchti. Why don’t you and Leng’an stay and have lunch before leaving?”
“Yes, yes!” Huangfu Ruixiang chid in, “Brother, you’ve been absent during the New Year’s celebrations. Why don’t we have a al together now?”
Huangfu Ruiling’s absence during the New Year at the ancestral mansion was sothing Huangfu Ruixiang had only learned upon his return. He had hoped to use these days to bond with Huangfu Ruiling.
During this period, he had been diligently cultivating for the upcoming family assessnt. Huangfu Ruiling had already made it clear that if he failed, he would have to leave the Hidden World.
If he failed this ti, he would have almost no chance of returning to the Huangfu family in the Hidden World. Despite his efforts in cultivation, he still lacked confidence in himself.
So, he had hoped to use this ti to build a good relationship with Huangfu Ruiling. Perhaps, even if he failed the test, he could still stay with Huangfu Ruiling’s support.
However, to his surprise, even on such a significant day as the New Year, Huangfu Ruiling had no intention of staying at the ancestral mansion. So, he had to seize every opportunity to improve his relationship with Huangfu Ruiling. Perhaps there would still be a chance for things to turn around.
“No, we’ll leave first,” Huangfu Ruiling said coldly. “You all enjoy your al.”
With that, he prepared to leave with Ye Leng’an.
Zhongyu Liuying stood up and blocked their way. She forced a smile and said, “Ruiling, we’re all family. Can’t you stay for a al?”
As she spoke, there was a hint of pleading in her tone, as if she were just an ordinary mother who wanted to have a al with her son.
Seeing Zhongyu Liuying in front of him, Ye Leng’an’s eyes flickered with doubt. She felt that Zhongyu Liuying seed particularly eager for Huangfu Ruiling to stay for a al, which seed strange no matter how she looked at it.
The mother-son relationship between Zhongyu Liuying and Huangfu Ruiling was not so deep, perhaps just slightly better than strangers. However, Zhongyu Liuying now seed to attach great importance to Huangfu Ruiling, which seed odd.
Huangfu Ruiling frowned, preparing to object.
Before he could speak, Ye Leng’an tugged at his sleeve and said with a smile, “Since your mother has said so, why don’t we stay for a al before leaving? After all, we need to eat too.”
Initially, Zhongyu Liuying was dissatisfied with Ye Leng’an’s interruption. However, upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, her eyes imdiately lit up, and she seed much happier.
