Chapter 475: Power of Domestic Affairs 3

His tone was very calm, but the words he spoke left them without room for rebuttal.
“In fact, nothing has happened,” Zhongyu Liuying quickly spoke with a smile.
“We were just discussing some matters, and there may have been some disagreements, so it’s just a misunderstanding for outsiders.”
She wanted to quickly resolve the situation and avoid mentioning the power of domestic affairs in front of Huangfu Ruiling. She had a premonition that bringing it up at this moment would not yield the desired outcome.
Nangong Xiyu, on the other hand, was not going to let her have her way. She spoke directly, “Ruiling, you may not be aware, but we are discussing the management of the domestic affairs. As you know, the authority over domestic affairs has always been held by the matriarch. However, since you’re not yet married and the position of the matriarch is vacant, there’s a question of who should take charge of domestic affairs.”
As soon as Nangong Xiyu spoke, Zhongyu Liuying knew that the outcome wasn’t going to be favorable. Nangong Xiyu had always opposed her in the past, and now, she couldn’t stop Nangong Xiyu from continuing in this situation.
“Domestic affairs?” Huangfu Ruiling, in his speech, involuntarily looked at Ye Lengan who was beside him.
Ye Lengan would likely become his future wife. However, they were still just a couple, not yet married, so she couldn’t manage it. Moreover, Ye Lengan had her own affairs to attend to and didn’t have time for these matters.
Ye Lengan also noticed Huangfu Ruilings gaze and couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Could it be that he was targeting her? She had no interest in these matters.
The others also noticed Huangfu Ruilings behavior.
Zhongyu Liuyings heart immediately tensed. She felt that Huangfu Ruiling wouldn’t assign the power of domestic affairs to Ye Leng’an, right? If that were the case, she would strongly object. Ye Lengan wasn’t part of the Huangfu family and had no authority to handle these affairs.
The others couldn’t help but frown.
“Ruiling, since you’re not married yet, I’ll work a bit harder and continue to help manage these chores!” Zhongyu Liuying said anxiously. “After all, I’ve been in charge and know the processes well. When you get married in the future, I’ll hand over the authority to your wife.”
She believed her reasoning was solid, and Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t come up with a counterargument.
“That’s right. Let your mother continue to manage it,” Huangfu Jingzhang also chimed in. “If we suddenly change management, it may cause confusion. Having your mother continue is the best arrangement for now.”
Nangong Xiyu remained silent, but there was a mocking expression on her face. Clearly, she was ridiculing Zhongyu Liuyings wishful thinking.
Huangfu Ruiling ignored Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying and turned to Ye Lengan, asking, “So, Aryan, what do you think will be a good arrangement?”
No one expected Huangfu Ruiling to entrust the decision to Ye Lengan.
“Ruiling, this is a matter of the Huangfu family. It might not be convenient for
Miss Ye to get involved.” Huangfu Jingzhang expressed his concerns. “So, it may not be suitable for you to seek her opinion.”
Huangfu Ruiling glanced at Huangfu Jingzhang and calmly stated, “1 am the current family head, and I have the authority to make decisions. None of you have the room to comment.’
Such straightforward words left Huangfu Jingzhangs face changing between green and white. He had wanted to unleash a string of curses upon his unfilial son, but he realized that Huangfu Ruiling was already the family head. His initially forming words immediately retreated.
The Huangfu family was a large clan with strict rules of hierarchy. In a family, the most important figure was undoubtedly the family head. Everyone ranked below the family head. Now that Huangfu Ruiling had assumed the role of family head, publicly scolding him would be an act of insubordination. In the most severe cases, it could lead to expulsion from the Huangfu family.
Of course, he was Huangfu Ruilings father, and he didn’t believe that Huangfu
Ruiling would expel him from the family. However, it was always better to be cautious. Moreover, his relationship with Huangfu Ruiling wasn’t particularly
amicable..
