Chapter 834: Shifting His Affections

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“If Huangfu Ruiling could take a liking to Zhongyu Lingshan, that would be wonderful.” A hint of resentment flashed in Huangfu Jingzhang’s eyes. “If it weren’t for Ye Leng’an, I would still be occupying the position of the family head.”

Though it was Huangfu Ruiling who had ousted him from his position as the family head, he also harbored resentment towards Ye Leng’an. Had it not been for Ye Leng’an, Huangfu Ruiling wouldn’t have made such a decision.

“I wonder what’s going on in Huangfu Ruiling’s mind.”

Seemingly recalling the events of the day, Zhongyu Liuying couldn’t help but furrow her brows. “Today, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t even spare a glance at Zhongyu Lingshan.”

“How could a man stay faithful to one woman his whole life?” Huangfu Jingzhang sneered. “I used to fancy Ye Leng’an, but now that Zhongyu Lingshan has appeared, resembling Ye Leng’an yet surpassing her in every aspect, any man would know who to choose.”

He, too, was a man and understood men’s shortcomings. Although he only had one wife, Zhongyu Liuying, he had other lovers outside. Yet, only Zhongyu Liuying could bear his child, hence why he maintained her status as his wife.

Therefore, he doubted that Huangfu Ruiling could solely fancy Ye Leng’an.

Perhaps it was because Huangfu Ruiling had never encountered a woman like Ye Leng’an before, leading him to fall for her. Now that Zhongyu Lingshan had emerged, he could wake up from his infatuation.

“If that’s the case, it’d be great.” Zhongyu Liuying nodded. “A woman like Ye Leng’an isn’t fit to be the matriarch of the Huangfu family. Especially considering Ruiling’s position not only as the family head in the mortal realm but also in the Hidden World. I hope he can see clearly soon; Zhongyu Lingshan is his best choice.”

Especially since Zhongyu Lingshan hailed from the direct lineage of the Zhongyu family in the Hidden World, she was the most compatible match for Huangfu Ruiling.

When Zhongyu Lingshan suddenly appeared in the Zhongyu family, it indeed shocked her. However, upon learning of Zhongyu Lingshan’s intentions, she couldn’t help but feel excited.

With Zhongyu Lingshan’s assistance, the Zhongyu family would surely thrive again. If only Huangfu Ruiling could shift his affections and choose Zhongyu Lingshan, it would be even better.

After all, just as her husband had said, men had their flaws and couldn’t stay loyal to one woman forever.

Just like her husband, she was aware of his affairs outside. However, she chose to turn a blind eye, as long as those women didn’t threaten her status.

Thus, she hoped Huangfu Ruiling would choose Zhongyu Lingshan, as it would be the best outcome for everyone.

Even if Huangfu Ruiling ultimately didn’t fancy Zhongyu Lingshan or remained loyal to Ye Leng’an, it wouldn’t concern her.

Because she had only promised to give Zhongyu Lingshan a chance, not to guarantee her success. Whether Zhongyu Lingshan could win over Huangfu Ruiling depended on her own abilities, something she couldn’t intervene in.

From any perspective, the Zhongyu family would benefit in the end, which was sufficient.

“Indeed.” Huangfu Jingzhang nodded, then frowned unhappily. “This time, Huangfu Ruiling refused to spend the New Year at the ancestral residence. Otherwise, we could have created more opportunities for Zhongyu Lingshan.”

“It’s already rare for Huangfu Ruiling to return for the sacrificial ceremony,” Zhongyu Liuying remarked. “You know his temperament. As for Zhongyu Lingshan, we’ve done all we can.”

Huangfu Jingzhang fell silent for a moment, seemingly recalling the events of the day’s rites, his expression souring.

As a couple who had been together for years, Zhongyu Liuying knew what was on Huangfu Jingzhang’s mind with just a glance. She furrowed her brows, then spoke up, “By the way, Jingzhang, what should we do about Li Yiran? That child…”

“Hmph, didn’t you hear what Huangfu Ruiling said today?” Huangfu Jingzhang’s tone was unkind, though not directed at Zhongyu Liuying. “If we insist on including that child in the family tree, we’ll be struck off. What? Do you still want to be expelled because of that child?”

“I feel I’ve done all I can for Li Yiran.” Zhongyu Liuying’s tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction. “As for the future, she’ll have to fend for herself.

She felt she had done enough. She was even willing to let Li Yiran call her mother to elevate Li Yiran’s status. Yet, Li Yiran proved too disappointing. What else could she do?

Meanwhile, Li Yiran was in her room.

In the room, only she and the child were present. There had been a nanny caring for the child earlier, but she had asked the nanny to leave upon her return.

Soon after, she heard faint sounds coming from the balcony. She immediately got up, walked over, and opened the balcony door, finding Li Yi entering.

Seeing Li Yi, Li Yiran was visibly anxious and immediately asked, “Brother Li Yi, how did it go? Did you find anything during your trip to the Hidden World?”

Zhong Yating and Huangfu Ruixiang had met in the Hidden World, making it impossible for her to investigate. Thus, she had to rely on Li Yi to gather information.

Although Li Yi was no longer associated with the Li generation, his cultivation talent allowed him to enter and exit the Hidden World.

Seeing Li Yiran’s anxiety, Li Yi felt a chill in his heart.

Because ever since he arrived, Li Yiran only cared about what information he could find, never once asking about him.

He was no longer a servant to the family head. Li Yiran never cared whether his casual entry and exit from the Hidden World posed any danger to him.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Li Yi’s silence, Li Yiran grew even more anxious, urging him, “Say something! Did you discover something important? Or did you find some leverage on Zhong Yating?”
