Ye Lengan maintained a stoic expression as she noticed all eyes focusing on her. She rolled her eyes, a glint of curiosity flickering in her gaze. With a smile, she spoke, “Actually, I think what Auntie said makes sense. She has been managing domestic affairs all this time, and I believe she is the best person to continue doing so.”

Zhongyu Liuyings face immediately lit up with joy upon hearing this, but her happiness was short-lived. Ye Lengan continued, “However, it’s said that one should not interfere in matters they are not responsible for. Continuously burdening your mother might tire her out. So, I suggest she continues to oversee it, but we should find someone to assist her. This way, they can work together and keep each other in check.”

After Ye Lengan’s words, Zhongyu Liuyings expression turned as sour as if she had eaten a dead fly. She hastily responded, “I’m not tired at all. I can handle it by myself, and there’s no need to involve others. That will only create more confusion.’

She was determined not to share her power with anyone. She had grown accustomed to making decisions and enjoying full authority.

Nangong Xiyu, who was committed to opposing Zhongyu Liuying, chimed in, “l think Miss Ye’s suggestion is excellent. This way, Sister-in-law won’t have to be burdened. Moreover, Ruixiang has grown up, and in a few years, he might get married. She also will need to find a good wife for him. She won’t have the energy to focus on these trivial matters.”

Zhongyu Liuying reiterated, “l don’t need assistance.”

However, even with Zhongyu Liuyings objections, the final decision rested with Huangfu Ruiling. As the head of the family, he would make the ultimate

Unfortunately, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t even spare her a glance. His attention remained fixed on Ye Lengan. “An’an, who do you think is a suitable candidate?”

Seeing the sly glint in Ye Leng’an’s eyes earlier, he knew that she was up to something. Indeed, her suggestion was a plot to disrupt Zhongyu Liuyings position. It was clear that this idea would frustrate Zhongyu Liuying, who would have to share her authority now.

Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into a smile, and she shifted her gaze to Nangong Xiyu, who had been at odds with Zhongyu Liuying. “l believe the most suitable candidate would be Second Auntie. After all, she has been a part of the Huangfu family for many years, and she must be well-acquainted with those domestic affairs. She’ll be able to assist Auntie effectively.”

With this statement, all eyes turned to Nangong Xiyu, who couldn’t believe her ears. She hesitated and said, “Me?”

She couldn’t believe how she had been hit by such a significant opportunity. Originally, when she proposed the transfer of power in domestic affairs, it was just to dampen Zhongyu Liuyings enthusiasm. From the beginning to the end, she never thought she would obtain authority over domestic affairs. She was well aware that even if Zhongyu Liuying stopped managing domestic affairs, the management rights would never fall to her, as the second auntie.

Ye Lengan affirmed, “Yes, you. I believe Second Auntie will certainly be able to manage the affairs of the back residence together with Auntie.”

Zhongyu Liuying immediately opposed the idea. “1 object. She has no experience in handling these matters, and I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle them. I can manage it by myself, and there’s no need for someone else to intervene and create chaos.’

She couldn’t fathom a scenario where Nangong Xiyu would take away half of her power. Especially since Nangong Xiyu had consistently opposed her; now, she would be on equal footing with her, which was difficult to accept.

Regardless of Zhongyu Liuyings objections, the final decision rested with Huangfu Ruiling as the family head. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he looked at Zhongyu Liuying before making the announcement. “Starting today, the Huangfu family’s domestic affairs will be jointly managed by Mother and

Second Auntie. If you cannot reach a decision, bring it to me for a final ruling.”

Zhongyu Liuying couldn’t help but close her eyes at this proclamation. She had not anticipated the extent of Ye Leng’an’s influence on Huangfu Ruiling. Even something as significant as the management of domestic affairs was now decided by Ye Lengan.

She regretted having given birth to Huangfu Ruiling; she should have known he would turn out to be such a disobedient child. She wished she had only Ruixiang, a filial son.

Nangong Xiyu, on the other hand, was thrilled with the decision. She wore a smile on her face and immediately assured Huangfu Ruiling. “Ruiling, if you trust me this much, I’ll do my best. You can rest assured that I’ll manage domestic affairs with your mother in the future. And once you and Miss Ye get married, I’ll immediately hand over the authority to her.”

Nangong Xiyu understood that her share of power wasn’t due to Huangfu

Ruilings trust but was a result of Ye Leng’an’s suggestion. She was returning

the favor with kind words and was well aware of how highly Huangtu Ruiling regarded Ye Lengan.

As expected, after Nangong Xiyu’s words, Huangfu Ruilings expression softened.

Huangfu Jingzhang, who disagreed with the decision, didn’t have the opportunity to voice his opinion. The icy gaze of Huangfu Ruiling silenced him.

Zhongyu Liuying gazed at the triumphant Nangong Xiyu, her eyes revealing a touch of gloom. Nangong Xiyu had celebrated too early. She had invested years of effort into managing domestic affairs, and she wasn’t going to let Nangong Xiyu take it away without a fight.

At that moment, she was already contemplating how to outmaneuver Nangong Xiyu and make her regret her decision..
