Chapter 177 Backyard power

Suddenly seeing Ye Leng'an here, this is something Zheng Anyang never expected.

Before, he heard the rumors about Ye Leng'an, so he always thought that Ye Leng'an was the adopted daughter who was kicked out by the Ye family. However, when he saw Ye Leng'an gave the Ye family fifty million without blinking his eyes, he knew that he underestimated Ye Leng'an.

However, he still couldn't see Ye Leng'an through.

Now he suddenly saw Ye Lengan here, and he was still with the young master Huangfu, no, when he should be called the master Huangfu soon, he was really surprised. How did these two people who seem to have no intersection at all get together?

Don't say that the two are ordinary friends, no one should believe this. Such an intimate act, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a young couple in love.

For a while, he really admired Ye Leng'an! He was actually able to subdue the young master of the Huangfu family. You know, this Huangfu Ruiling is cold-hearted, but he is definitely not a person who will be easily tempted.

Although he was surprised, Zheng Anyang didn't intend to go up to say hello to Ye Leng'an. After all, today's occasion is really not suitable.

The next patriarch succession ceremony also went smoothly. However, everyone present knew that Huangfu Ruiling was already in control of the power. The so-called handover ceremony is just a show.

Almost everyone could see Huangfu Jingzhang's reluctance. He kept his face stern, without a smile, and he didn't even want to say a few more words.

The guests were not surprised by this. You know, Huangfu Jingzhang is only about fifty years old now. According to his age, at least he can still sit in the position of Patriarch for ten or twenty years. However, now he is forced to step down as the head of the family, how can he feel comfortable in his heart!

However, no one defended Huangfu Jingzhang.

Since ancient times, winners and losers. Huangfu Jingzhang is absolutely inferior to Huangfu Ruiling in every aspect, and even though Huangfu Jingzhang was the head of the Huangfu family before, the actual power is still in Huangfu Ruiling's hands. Now, it's just to make everything more legitimate.

After the handover ceremony was completed, many people came forward to say hello to Huangfu Ruiling and make friends.

Now Huangfu Ruiling is already the rightful ruler of the Huangfu family, so it is natural to have a good relationship with him at this time.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to greet Huangfu Ruiling.

Not far away, Huangfu Jingzhang looked at Huangfu Ruiling who was surrounded by people, gritted his teeth with hatred, and even kept cursing Huangfu Ruiling in his heart for being a villain and a villain.

However, no matter how unwilling he is, everything is a foregone conclusion now, and he can't change it. Moreover, almost all the elders in the family were on Huangfu Ruiling's side. He was so weak that he was powerless at all.

Beside Zhong Yuliuying wanted to comfort her husband, but she didn't know how to say it. Moreover, now she is also worried about whether the power in her inner house will be taken back. Therefore, the mood is also very chaotic.

"Sister-in-law, why are you still standing here?"

At this time, Nangong Xiyu came to them with Huangfu Jingxian on her arm, and said with a smile, "Now that the handover ceremony of the Patriarch is over, shouldn't you go up and congratulate Ruiling? Besides, you haven't asked Ruiling about the power of this inner house, so you still let you continue to manage it!"

After hearing Nangong Xiyu's words, Zhong Yuliuying's body froze, and then she looked at Nangong Xiyu with an uneasy expression, "Sister and sister, you don't need to worry about this matter. Anyway, the management of this inner house will not fall into your hands in the end."

The meaning inside and outside the words is to say that Nangong Xiyu is meddling, and it can only be said that the other party is taking a mouse and meddling in other people's business.

"Sister-in-law, it's wrong for you to say that!" Nangong Xiyu said with a smile on her face, "I'm also a member of the inner house anyway, so I have to know who will be in charge of me from now on! Now Ruiling has not clearly stated that the management of the inner house will continue to be in your hands. After that, should I listen to what you say? Or not?"

"I will find an opportunity to clarify this matter in the future." Zhong Yuliuying raised her head, gave Nangong Xiyu a cold look, and then continued, "Sisters don't worry about so much. If you have time, you should take good care of Ruihang! lest he cause any trouble at that time, which will affect the reputation of our Huangfu family."

Hearing Zhong Yuliuying mention her son's disappointment, Nangong Xiyu's eyes flashed a gloomy light, but she didn't show it on her face, she still smiled, "Why wait later! Today is the right occasion, isn't it? However, if sister-in-law can't ask, then I can do it for you."

Hmph, no matter how bad her son is, she still respects them as parents. Zhong Yuliuying's son is outstanding! But now her outstanding eldest son, didn't he just take away her husband's position as Patriarch?

Does Zhong Yuliuying really think that she can still be so arrogant now? Although Huangfu Ruiling was her son, there was not much affection between the mother and son.

"Siblings, don't you think you're taking too much control?" Zhong Yuliuying's face turned cold, "Or, do you think that, as the biological mother of the current head of the family, I can't take care of little things in the inner house?"

Huangfu Jingzhang on the side also spoke at this time, but the person he aimed at was not Nangong Xiyu, but Huangfu Jingxian, "Jing Xian, take care of your wife. There are some things that she can't get involved in."

He has lost his position as the head of the house now, so he can't let his wife lose the right to manage the inner house too! Moreover, he could tell that Nangong Xiyu just wanted to make trouble.

He doesn't pay much attention to his younger brother and his wife. Because, in his memory, Huangfu Jingxian was just a playboy. In the past, he was proficient in eating, drinking and playing. However, after getting married, I have restrained a lot.

Now that his wife is being pushed hard by his younger brother's wife, he only feels a sense of provocation.

"Brother, I think Xiyu's words are very reasonable!" Unexpectedly, Huangfu Jingxian stood by his wife's side, "There are some things that should be explained clearly. In addition, these things are still related to power, so naturally we can't be sloppy."

Hearing Huangfu Jingxian refute his words, Huangfu Jingzhang was really shocked for a while. Up until now, this younger brother was almost submissive in front of him. However, it is simply unreasonable to dare to directly refute his words here.

Thinking of this, when Huangfu Jingzhang looked at his younger brother, there was a warning in his eyes.

Huangfu Jingxian was not afraid, and could even be ignored. The relationship between the two brothers can't be said to be good, nor can it be said to be bad, anyway, it's mediocre. However, when his elder brother was still the head of the family, he used to boss him around. At that time, he always held the mentality that more things are worse than less things, so he gave in many times.

Now that the other party is no longer the head of the family, is it necessary for him to continue to give in?

There was a tense atmosphere on this side, which immediately attracted the attention of the people around. They didn't dare to approach, so they didn't know what happened. But it didn't prevent them from seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

At this moment, Li San came over and said directly, "Master, Second Master, First Lady, Second Lady, Patriarch, please come over."

Hearing such words, the faces of Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhong Yuliuying immediately sank. On the other hand, Huangfu Jingxian and Nangong Xiyu didn't change their expressions, and even followed immediately.

A group of four soon came to Huangfu Ruiling.

Looking at Huangfu Ruiling sitting in a wheelchair, although these four are elders, for some reason, when facing Huangfu Ruiling, they can't put on airs of elders.

Even Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhong Yuliuying, in front of Huangfu Ruiling, they couldn't afford to act like their parents. Even, under the gaze of those eyes, they still felt a little guilty.

Seeing that none of the four of them spoke, Huangfu Ruiling shot a shot before he said, "Tell me! What is it about? It almost caused a quarrel in the banquet hall. Don't you know that this kind of behavior is harming the bright side of the Huangfu family?"

The tone was very flat, but what they said made them unable to refute.

"Actually, nothing happened." Zhong Yuliuying hurriedly smiled and said first, "We are just discussing some things. There may be some differences of opinion, so outsiders see some misunderstandings."

Now she just wants to calm things down as soon as possible, and don't bring up the matter of the inner house in front of Huangfu Ruiling. She always had a premonition that if she brought it up at this time, the result would definitely not be as she wished.

Nangong Xiyu on the side naturally couldn't make her get what she wanted, so she said directly, "Ruiling, you don't know that we are discussing the management of the inner house. You also know that the power of the inner house has always been in the hands of the mistress. But now that you haven't married a wife, the position of the mistress is vacant, so who should take care of the inner house is a problem."

As soon as Nangong Xiyu opened her mouth, Zhong Yuliuying knew that the result was not much better. In the past, Nangong Xiyu had been against her all the time. The person who wants to see her lose her power in the inner house the most is this Nangong Xiyu. However, in such an occasion, she had no way to stop Nangong Xiyu from continuing.

"Is it something about the inner house?"

While speaking, Huangfu Ruiling involuntarily set his eyes on Ye Leng'an beside him.

His future wife must be An An. It's just that they are still just boyfriend and girlfriend, and they haven't even decided to get married, so it's impossible for An An to manage them. Moreover, An'an also has her own affairs to be busy on weekdays, so she has no time to manage these chores.

Ye Leng'an also noticed Huangfu Ruiling's gaze, and she rolled her eyes involuntarily.

This guy must have set his mind on her, right? She has no interest in these things at all!

Others naturally noticed Huangfu Ruiling's behavior.

Zhong Yuliuying's heart immediately arose, she felt that Huangfu Ruiling would never hand over the management of the inner house to Ye Leng'an! If this is the case, then she must firmly oppose it. Now Ye Leng'an is not a member of the Huangfu family at all, and has absolutely no right to take over these matters.

The others couldn't help but frown.

"Ruiling, since you are not married yet, I will work harder and continue to help you with these trivial matters!" Zhong Yuliuying said eagerly, "Anyway, I have been in charge of it all the time, and I know the procedures. After you get married in the future, I will hand over the power to your wife."

She felt that what she said was well-founded, even if Huangfu Ruiling wanted to refute it, she couldn't give a reason.

"That's right, let your mother continue to take care of it!" Huangfu Jingzhang also said, "If there is a sudden change now, I'm afraid it will cause chaos. It is the best arrangement for now to have your mother continue to take care of it."

Nangong Xiyu on the side didn't speak, but she had a mocking expression on her face. Obviously, she was laughing at Zhong Yuliuying's self-indulgence.

Huangfu Ruiling ignored Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhong Yuliuying, but turned to Ye Leng'an and asked, "Then, An'an, how do you think we should arrange it?"

No one thought that Huangfu Ruiling would hand over the decision-making power to Ye Leng'an.

"Ruiling, this is a matter of our Huangfu family, and it may not be convenient for Miss Ye to intervene." Huangfu Jingzhang looked worried, "So, it is not very appropriate for you to ask her opinion."

Huangfu Ruiling took a look at Huangfu Jingzhang, and then said calmly, "The current Patriarch is me, and I have the right to make decisions. You have no room to comment."

Such straightforward words made Huangfu Jingzhang's face turn green and pale. He wanted to open his mouth to curse this traitor, but when he thought that the other party was now the head of the family, he immediately took back the words that came to his lips.

The Huangfu family is a big family, and the rules of seniority and juniority are very strict. In a family, the biggest person must be the head of the family. All must be ranked under the head of the house. Now that Huangfu Ruiling is the head of the family, if he scolds the head of the family in such a large public, it will be a crime. The most serious thing is to be kicked out of the Huangfu family.

Of course, he is Huangfu Ruiling's father, and he doesn't think Huangfu Ruiling will drive him out of the family. But not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. In addition, the relationship between him and Huangfu Ruiling is not so good.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, Ye Leng'an's face remained unchanged. She rolled her eyes, and a gleam of interest flashed in her eyes. Then she smiled and said, "Actually, I think what Auntie said is quite reasonable. She has always been in charge of the inner house. It must be the best if she continues to manage it."

As soon as these words came out, a trace of joy appeared on Zhong Yuliuying's face. However, at the same time, she was also very surprised, she did not expect that Ye Leng'an would actually help her. However, before she could be happy, Ye Leng'an's next words made her joyful mood suddenly fall to the bottom.

"However, they all say that they are not in their position and do not seek their own affairs." Ye Leng'an continued, "Now let your mother take care of it, and I'm afraid of tiring her. So, I think, we can let her continue to take care of it, but wouldn't it be better to find someone to help her together? Moreover, the two of you can supervise and promote each other!"

After listening to Ye Leng'an's words, Zhong Yuliuying's expression was as if she had eaten a dead fly. She quickly said, "Actually, I'm not tired at all. I can do it by myself. There is no need to find someone to help me."

She didn't want to find someone to share half of the power at all. She is used to making decisions by herself and enjoying all the power alone.

"I think Miss Ye's suggestion is very good." Nangong Xiyu is obviously determined to fight against Zhong Yuliuying, "This way, my sister-in-law doesn't need to be so tired. Besides, now that Ruixiang has grown up, she might get married in a few years. My sister-in-law still needs to find a good wife for Ruixiang! How can I devote so much energy to these trivial matters!"

"I don't need it." Zhong Yuliuying emphasized again.

It's a pity that Huangfu Ruiling didn't even look at her, his attention was still on Ye Leng'an, "Then An'an, who do you think is the right candidate?"

When Ye Leng'an's eyes rolled around, he knew it was a bad idea. Sure enough, this idea is simply to make Zhong Yuliuying so angry! The power that was originally in his hands is now divided in half. Now not only is the name of the mistress gone, but even her power has been reduced by half. However, there is still half of the power left, so even if she wants to make it bad, she can't do anything.

Ye Leng'an's mouth curled up into a smile, and then his eyes fell on Nangong Xiyu, who had always been against Zhong Yuliuying, "I think the most suitable candidate is Second Aunt, isn't she? Besides, I think Second Aunt has been married into the Huangfu family for so many years, so she must be very clear about these trivial matters in the inner house. At that time, she will definitely be able to help Auntie better."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Nangong Xiyu.

Even Nangong Xiyu was stunned, she couldn't react, pointed at herself, and said in disbelief, "Me?"

She couldn't believe how she was hit by such a big pie. Originally, when she proposed the transfer of power in the inner house, she just wanted to frustrate Zhong Yuliuying's spirit. From the beginning to the end, she never thought that she could get the management right of the back house. She knew very well that even if Zhong Yuliuying did not manage the back house, the management right would definitely not fall to her second aunt.

"Yes!" Ye Leng'an nodded, and said again with certainty, "I believe Second Aunt will be able to manage the affairs of the back house together with Auntie."

"No, I object." Zhong Yuliuying immediately vetoed, "My brother and sister have never done these things, I'm afraid she can't do it. I can handle it by myself, and I don't need others to intervene. That will only make things more confusing."

She couldn't even imagine what it would be like if Nangong Xiyu took away half of her power. Especially, Nangong Xiyu has always been against her, but now she is going to be equal to her, how can she accept it!

However, no matter how Zhong Yuliuying objects, the final decision rests with Huangfu Ruiling. He is the head of the family, these things are still waiting for him to make the final decision.

Under everyone's gaze, Huangfu Ruiling took a look at Zhong Yuliuying, and then said, "From today on, the back house of the Huangfu family will be jointly managed by mother and second aunt. If you can't make a decision, then let me make the decision."

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Yuliuying couldn't help closing her eyes. She never expected that Ye Leng'an would have such a great influence on Huangfu Ruiling. Even things like Houzhai Daquan let Ye Leng'an make the decision.

Sure enough, if it wasn't a child who grew up by his side, he couldn't kiss. If she had known that Huangfu Ruiling was such a rebellious person, she should not have given birth to Huangfu Ruiling. It would be great if she only had Ruixiang as a filial child!

Compared with Zhong Yuliuying's disappointment and dissatisfaction, Nangong Xiyu seemed much happier. Her face was full of smiles. After listening to Huangfu Ruiling's words, she immediately assured her, "Ruiling, since you trust me so much, I will definitely do a good job. Don't worry, I will work with your mother to manage the back house well."

"When you marry Miss Ye in the future, I will definitely hand over the power to her right away."

She naturally knew that the reason why she was able to get that half of the power was not because Huangfu Ruiling trusted her so much, but purely because it was Ye Leng'an's suggestion. She is also a person who reciprocates, so those kind words are naturally stingy.

Moreover, she could see how much Huangfu Ruiling attached importance to Ye Leng'an, and he would definitely be happy to hear such words.

Sure enough, after listening to Nangong Xiyu's words, the expression on Huangfu Ruiling's face became much softer.

Huangfu Jingzhang on the side must be very dissatisfied with such a decision. However, before he could speak, Huangfu Ruiling's cold eyes fell on him.

As soon as he saw the cold eyes, he felt his head went blank and he couldn't say anything.

Zhong Yuliuying looked at the proud Nangong Xiyu, a glimmer of darkness flashed in her eyes.

This Nangong Xiyu was too happy. For so many years, her operations in the back house were not in vain. Since Nangong Xiyu wanted to take away half of the power, she had to take a good look at what the other party was capable of.

At this moment, she is already thinking about how to make Nangong Xiyu steal everything.
