“I’ve already advised him, but he disagreed. What else can I do?” Zhongyu Liuying looked at Nangong Xiyu and replied, “If you think it’s inappropriate, then you should personally call and persuade him!”

She felt she had done enough. Initially, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t even plan to attend the sacrifice, but it was only after her persuasion that he agreed. Nangong Xiyu was merely observing from the sidelines, so she had no right to criticize!

Hearing Zhongyu Liuying’s suggestion to make a call, Nangong Xiyu’s eyes betrayed a hint of unease. Then she said, “Isn’t Ruiling your son? Weren’t you just swearing that there wouldn’t be any lingering grudges between you as mother and son? If that’s the case, then it’s only natural for you as his mother to make the call.”

“I already made the call, and he agreed to attend the ceremony, didn’t he?” Zhongyu Liuying sneered and said, “As for the rest, if you have objections, you can call yourself. After all, I’ve already made one call, so it’s your turn!”

Zhongyu Liuying’s words left Nangong Xiyu speechless. She didn’t know how to respond and chose to remain silent.

On the other side, after Huangfu Ruiling hung up the phone, he saw Ye Leng’an staring at him. “Is something wrong?”

“No, I just wanted to ask about the sacrifice you mentioned…” Ye Leng’an was curious, “And when will it be held?”

She had heard Huangfu Ruiling’s words and knew she had to attend the ceremony. But what was it exactly? Why hadn’t she heard of it before?

“Every year before the New Year, the Huangfu family holds a grand sacrificial ceremony,” Huangfu Ruiling explained. “Not only us, but the other three major families also hold similar ceremonies. Since we’re engaged, you’ll accompany me to this one.”

It was an opportunity for the Huangfu family to meet their future matriarch.

Ye Leng’an nodded. Suddenly, as if realizing something, she said, “Wait a minute! Last year, before the New Year, didn’t you go overseas with me? So you didn’t attend last year’s ceremony, right? Or did you leave after the ceremony?”

Huangfu Ruiling smiled and shook his head. “I didn’t attend last year.”

“So you’re not obligated to attend!” Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow. “Then it seems you’re not that important!”

“I wasn’t the head of the family last year!” Huangfu Ruiling smiled. “So whether I attended or not didn’t matter to them.”

Ye Leng’an nodded in understanding.

Upon receiving the news that Huangfu Ruiling would attend the sacrificial ceremony, Zhongyu Liuying and Nangong Xiyu immediately got busy.

The sacrificial ceremony before the New Year was crucial for a large family, so there couldn’t be any mistakes.

At this moment, Zhongyu Liuying and Nangong Xiyu temporarily put aside their conflicts and began preparing together to avoid any issues.

With the New Year fast approaching, the sacrificial ceremony was scheduled for the 29th day of the year.

Early in the morning, Zhongyu Liuying and Nangong Xiyu got busy.

The Huangfu family was large, and not everyone from the collateral branches could attend. Therefore, only direct descendants and some important collateral relatives could attend.

Attending this annual sacrificial ceremony was a great honor for everyone. Therefore, they arrived early at the ancestral mansion, awaiting the start of the ceremony. Even Huangfu Ruixiang, who usually kept to himself, returned to the mortal world with his wife Zhong Yating a few days ago. Early in the morning, they were already here. Only the family head, Huangfu Ruiling, hadn’t shown up yet.

But what caught everyone’s attention was the presence of Li Yiran, who had no official status. With a proud expression, she occasionally threw provocative glances at Zhong Yating.

Facing Li Yiran’s provocation, Zhong Yating was furious but managed to contain her anger.

She hadn’t expected Li Yiran to dare show up at such an important event. Politely, Li Yiran was Huangfu Ruixiang’s concubine, but bluntly, she was just a mistress kept outside.

If it weren’t for the public setting, Zhong Yating would have wanted to confront Li Yiran.

Li Yiran’s presence made her the subject of gossip. She could feel the probing gazes of others on her.

Huangfu Ruixiang’s recent wedding and the drama surrounding it were still fresh in everyone’s minds.

Today, at the Huangfu family’s annual major sacrificial ceremony, both Huangfu Ruixiang’s official wife, Zhong Yating, and his rumored son’s mother, Li Yiran, were present.

No matter how one looked at it, it was odd.

Many thought Huangfu Ruixiang’s decision today was inappropriate. Normally, only the official wife should attend such a grand occasion.

Regardless of Li Yiran’s favor or the fact she bore Huangfu Ruixiang’s only son, to others, she was just a mistress who couldn’t be acknowledged publicly.

Huangfu Ruixiang noticed the curious looks directed at him from time to time. He hadn’t intended for Li Yiran to attend such an event today.

But his mother insisted, even wanting Li Yiran’s child added to the family tree. He couldn’t argue and had to agree.

Now, facing those stares, he regretted his decision.

On the other hand, Li Yiran didn’t feel out of place at all. In fact, she felt proud when she received strange looks from others.

Being able to attend the sacrificial ceremony today meant her identity was publicly acknowledged. Even without a marriage certificate, she could stand by Huangfu Ruixiang’s side openly.
