Chapter 403 Sacrificial Ritual

"Anyway, I've already persuaded him, but he's different, what can I do!" Zhong Yuliuying looked at Nangong Xiyu, and replied, "If you think it's wrong, then you can call him yourself to persuade him!"

She felt that she had done enough. Originally, Huangfu Ruiling didn't even plan to attend the sacrifice, but finally agreed to attend under her persuasion. Nangong Xiyu was just watching from the sidelines, so she has the right to make irresponsible remarks to her!

Hearing that Zhong Yuliuying asked her to make a call, Nangong Xiyu's eyes flashed a trace of unnaturalness, and then she said, "Isn't Ruiling your son? Just now, didn't you swear that there won't be any overnight feud between your mother and son? If that's the case, then it's better for your mother to call in person."

"I just called, and he agreed to attend the sacrifice, didn't he?" Zhong Yuliuying sneered a few times, and said, "As for the others, if you have any objections, you can call them yourself. Anyway, I've already made a call, so it should be your turn!"

Zhong Yuliuying's words left Nangong Xiyu speechless. For a while, she didn't know how to respond, so she didn't speak anymore.

On the other side, after Huangfu Ruiling hung up the phone, he saw Ye Leng'an staring at him, "What's wrong?"

"No, I just want to ask, the sacrifice you just mentioned is—" Ye Leng'an was a little curious, "Also, when will this be held?"

She heard Huangfu Ruiling's words just now, and she will also attend this sacrifice. But what is going on with this sacrifice? Why haven't I heard of it before!

"Every year before the new year, the Huangfu family will hold a grand sacrificial ceremony," Huangfu Ruiling explained, "In fact, not only the Huangfu family, but also the other three major families will hold the ceremony. We are already engaged, so this time, you can accompany me to attend the sacrificial ceremony!"

Just in time, taking this opportunity, let those members of the Huangfu family get to know their future mistress.

Ye Leng'an nodded, as if thinking of something, he suddenly said, "That's not right! Last year, before the Chinese New Year, didn't you go abroad with me? Didn't you not participate in last year's sacrificial ceremony? Or did you go abroad with me after the sacrificial ceremony was over?"

Huangfu Ruiling shook his head with a smile, and replied, "I didn't participate last year."

"So you don't have to attend!" Ye Leng'an raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Then it seems that you are not very important!"

"Last year, I wasn't the head of the family!" Huangfu Ruiling said with a smile, "So, last year, it was Huangfu Jingzhang who hosted it. It doesn't matter to them whether I attend or not."

Ye Lengan nodded clearly.

Zhong Yuliuying and Nangong Xiyu got busy immediately after receiving the news that Huangfu Ruiling was going to attend the sacrificial ceremony.

The sacrificial ceremony before the new year is very important for a big family, so there must be no mistakes.

At this time, Zhong Yuliuying and Nangong Xiyu also put aside their fight for the time being, and began to prepare together to avoid any problems.

Because the Chinese New Year is very close, the sacrificial ceremony was directly set on the twenty-ninth day of the new year.

Early in the morning, Zhong Yuliuying and Nangong Xiyu started to get busy.

The Huangfu family is a very large family, with many collateral members. Of course, it is impossible for everyone to attend this sacrificial ceremony together. Therefore, the only people who could attend the sacrificial ceremony were all the direct descendants of the Huangfu family, as well as some close and important collateral descendants.

It is a great honor for everyone to be able to attend this annual sacrificial ceremony. Therefore, everyone has already arrived at the ancestral house, waiting for the sacrificial ceremony to begin. Even Huangfu Ruixiang, who was in the Hidden World, returned to the Mortal World a few days ago. Early in the morning, he brought his wife Zhong Yating and waited here. Only Patriarch Huangfu Ruiling has not appeared for a long time.

However, the most eye-catching thing is that Li Yiran, who has no real status, unexpectedly appeared at the ancestral house at this time. With a look of pride on her face, she cast a provocative look at Zhong Yating from time to time.

Facing Li Yiran's provocation, Zhong Yating was furious. She gritted her teeth tightly to suppress her inner anger.

She never expected that Li Yiran would dare to appear on such an important occasion as today. To put it mildly, it was Huangfu Ruixiang's outer room. But to put it bluntly, she was nothing more than a mistress kept outside.

If it weren't for the fact that she was in full view now, she would really have the heart to kill Li Yiran.

The appearance of Li Yiran made her a joke. She could almost feel the probing eyes of others on her.

Huangfu Ruixiang's wedding was not long ago, and the farce at the wedding was vividly remembered by everyone.

Today is the annual major sacrificial ceremony of the Huangfu family, but now Huangfu Ruixiang's official wife Zhong Yating, and his biological mother Li Yiran, who is said to be his only son, are all present here at this time.

How does this look, how weird.

Many people felt that Huangfu Ruixiang's move today was really inappropriate. On such a grand and solemn day like today, under normal circumstances, only the wife is eligible to attend.

No matter how favored Li Yiran is, and even gave birth to Huangfu Ruixiang's only son, in the eyes of others, she is just a lover who can't stand on stage.

Huangfu Ruixiang naturally also noticed the strange eyes cast by other people from time to time. In fact, he didn't intend to let Li Yiran appear on an occasion like today.

However, the mother insisted on letting Li Yiran attend, and also said that she would take advantage of this opportunity to have the child born to Li Yiran on the family tree. He had no way to refute, so he could only agree.

However, when facing the eyes of those people now, he really regretted it in his heart.

Li Yiran, on the other hand, didn't feel any discomfort at all at this time, and even felt a little complacent when facing other people's strange eyes.

Because being able to attend the sacrificial ceremony today means that this is a public acknowledgment of her identity. Even if she didn't have that marriage certificate, she could still stand by Huangfu Ruixiang's side openly.
