Chapter 829: The Only Son

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The matter of whether the child could be recorded in the family tree brought the scene to a deadlock.

Huangfu Jingzhang insisted on registering the child in the family tree today to counter Huangfu Ruiling, regardless of the circumstances. Zhongyu Liuying naturally sided with him.

As for Huangfu Ruiling, although he didn’t say much and wasn’t very insistent, it was clear that they wouldn’t get what they wanted.

Thus, the situation became extremely awkward.

Seeing this, Huangfu Jingxian stepped forward with a smile to persuade, “The child is still young; there’s no rush to enter the family tree. Let’s discuss it later! The most important thing now is the sacrifice, and the auspicious time is approaching. We can’t afford to delay.”

“Yes, that’s right!” Nangong Xiyu also stepped forward. “Let’s discuss this privately later!”

At this point, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying were somewhat swayed. Their persistence wasn’t due to love for their grandson but simply because they disagreed with Huangfu Ruiling’s attitude.

However, it seemed that continuing to insist would only prolong the stalemate. Since someone had come forward to mediate, they naturally relented.

But although Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying were willing to back down, it was evident that Huangfu Ruiling wasn’t willing to let go so easily.

He didn’t intend to give in just because someone had tried to persuade him. He maintained a stern expression, stating, “I’ve said it before, the child will never be recorded in the family genealogy. There’s no room for negotiation now or in the future.”

He was indifferent to the feud between Zhong Yating and Li Yiran; his stance was solely based on precedent. Throughout the major families, illegitimate children were never recorded in the family genealogy. This was a fact, leading to his direct refusal.

Upon hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s words, Li Yiran, standing nearby, turned pale. This child was her only bargaining chip. But now, with Huangfu Ruiling, the family head, publicly announcing that her son couldn’t be recorded in the family tree, it was tantamount to denying her son’s affiliation with the Huangfu family.

In families like the Huangfu family, mere registration didn’t grant one membership. Only being recorded in the family genealogy symbolized acknowledgment as a member. If her son couldn’t be recorded, he would never be considered a legitimate member of the Huangfu family. What kind of future would her son have?

More importantly, what about her? Without her son’s support, what status would she have within the Huangfu family? Would she have to live at the mercy of Zhong Yating?

In contrast to Li Yiran, Zhong Yating was ecstatic! She didn’t understand why Huangfu Ruiling was so adamant, but she knew this situation favored her the most.

If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting, she would have burst into laughter.

“Huangfu Ruiling,” Huangfu Jingzhang roared, “What kind of heart do you have, denying your brother’s child from entering the family tree!”

“Mind your tone.” Huangfu Ruiling glanced at Huangfu Jingzhang indifferently, then stated, “I’m not stopping Huangfu Ruixiang’s child from being recorded in the family genealogy. However, under normal circumstances, illegitimate children aren’t included in the family tree. This isn’t unique to the Huangfu family; other families do the same.”

These words made Huangfu Jingzhang’s expression darken slightly, but he didn’t back down. Instead, he confidently asserted, “You said it yourself, that’s under normal circumstances. But now, this child is Ruixiang’s only son, so there’s nothing wrong with my request.”

At that moment, Zhong Yating wanted to spit on Huangfu Jingzhang’s face.

What did he mean by Ruixiang’s only son? Was she dead? Wouldn’t the child she gave birth to in the future also be Ruixiang’s?

Ye Leng’an, who had been observing from the sidelines, couldn’t help but chuckle.

Her crisp laughter sounded particularly eerie in the tense atmosphere, drawing everyone’s attention to her.

Instantly, the expressions of Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying turned even uglier. When they looked at Ye Leng’an, their gazes were murderous.

In contrast, Zhong Yating’s eyes gleamed. She had a feeling that whatever Ye Leng’an said would benefit her.

“Ye Leng’an, have you no manners?” Huangfu Jingzhang berated, “Do you realize the significance of today’s occasion? This is our Huangfu family’s important sacrificial ceremony. Yet, you’re here smiling frivolously. Do you have any respect for our ancestors?”

“Before you ask me, why don’t you reflect on yourself?” Ye Leng’an shrugged casually. “Since you acknowledge the importance of today’s occasion, don’t make unreasonable requests here and waste everyone’s time, right? Since you don’t even respect the ancestors of the Huangfu family, do you have the right to scold me?”

Instantly, Huangfu Jingzhang felt a pang in his chest. Clutching his chest, he pointed at Ye Leng’an with a trembling finger. “You…”

“What?” Ye Leng’an interrupted, “Did I say something wrong? Furthermore, what do you mean by Ruixiang’s only son? Has Ruixiang lost his ability to have children? Can he no longer have children in the future?”

Her words immediately shifted everyone’s focus to Huangfu Ruixiang. The intense gazes seemed to bore holes into him.

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Zhongyu Liuying immediately intervened. “Ruixiang is healthy. Don’t slander him just because you have someone backing you up. If you speak irresponsibly again, don’t blame me for being rude!”

With a fierce glare, she looked at Ye Leng’an. If looks could kill, Ye Leng’an would have been torn to shreds by now.

She didn’t care about Huangfu Ruiling, who stood behind Ye Leng’an. She couldn’t allow Ye Leng’an to slander Ruixiang. Otherwise, if today’s events were to spread, how would Ruixiang face others in the future?
