Usually, although Nangong Xiyu and Zhongyu Liuying were at odds, she sided with Zhongyu Liuying on this matter. “Sister-in-law, don’t be angry first. Now that you know Zhong Yating’s true colors, you definitely can’t let her stay with Ruixiang. However, ultimately, Ruiling must make the decision. After all, he is the head of the Huangfu family. Beside…”

At this point, Nangong Xiyu glanced at Zhong Yating, who knelt on the ground, and continued, “Zhong Yating is also an outer sect disciple of the Hidden World’s Huangfu family. How she should be dealt with is also Ruiling’s decision.”

So, Zhong Yating faced not only divorce from Huangfu Ruixiang but also punishment from the Huangfu family. After all, her actions could endanger Huangfu Ruixiang’s life.

“It’s not unreasonable to take her life for what she’s done.” Zhongyu Liuying’s gaze at Zhong Yating resembled that toward her enemies. “Hmph, no matter what, I won’t let her off.”

Though unsure why Nangong Xiyu refrained from worsening the situation, Zhong Yating dared not speak up. She knew anything she said now would be wrong.

Li Yiran remained silent since Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying came out, seated quietly beside Huangfu Ruixiang. She understood that speaking up now might make her a target. Even if she refrained from adding insult to injury, Zhong Yating’s fate didn’t look promising. So, she simply waited quietly for the outcome.

However, she couldn’t resist casting a gloating glance at Zhong Yating.

Subsequently, silence fell over the living room. Everyone’s mood was heavy, but no one dared to break the silence.

Time dragged on, yet Huangfu Ruiling didn’t appear.

“Big brother, what did Ruiling say?” Huangfu Jingxian couldn’t help but ask. “It’s been an hour. Why hasn’t he returned yet?”

An hour had pa.s.sed since Huangfu Jingzhang left the study, yet Huangfu Ruiling hadn’t shown up. Huangfu Jingxian doubted if Huangfu Ruiling had been informed.

Others shared Huangfu Jingxian’s doubts. Too much time had elapsed.

Huangfu Jingzhang’s expression grew darker, his mood worse than others’. Especially facing Huangfu Jingxian’s inquiry, he turned livid.

Having had no communication with Huangfu Ruiling, he couldn’t even reach his son without intermediaries. If others found out, it would be embarra.s.sing.

“Perhaps he’s delayed,” Zhongyu Liuying hastily explained. “Let’s wait a bit longer!”

Though her mood resembled Huangfu Jingzhang’s, Nangong Xiyu couldn’t let them know she couldn’t contact Huangfu Ruiling.

Huangfu Jingxian merely grumbled and didn’t pursue it further.

They continued waiting for Huangfu Ruiling, with no other options. Ultimately, Huangfu Ruiling had to make the final decision.

While everyone sat still, Zhong Yating remained kneeling for so long that her leg went numb.

Despite her discomfort, she dared not move, aware she was now a criminal and any action would draw criticism.

The waiting was unbearable, especially with everyone doing nothing but waiting.

But no one spoke further.

After an unknown duration, just when they doubted Huangfu Ruiling’s arrival, a servant reported that the family head’s car had entered the gate.

Learning Huangfu Ruiling had arrived, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying sighed in relief. They had doubts about whether Li San had conveyed their intentions to Huangfu Ruiling. They even worried he wouldn’t come. If they waited all day without seeing him, they wouldn’t know how to explain to Huangfu Jingxian and Nangong Xiyu.

Everyone awaited Huangfu Ruiling’s arrival, except Zhong Yating, whose expression worsened.

Huangfu Ruiling’s arrival signaled her trial.

Each person’s mood differed. Only Li Yiran’s eyes glinted with excitement. She would finally witness Zhong Yating’s downfall. After today, Zhong Yating wouldn’t be Huangfu Ruixiang’s wife anymore.

Huangfu Ruiling entered slowly under everyone’s gaze, accompanied by Ye Leng’an.

Seeing Ye Leng’an, no one was surprised. Their relations.h.i.+p was known, and Huangfu Ruiling had spent holidays with Ye Leng’an. So, Ye Leng’an’s presence was expected.

Though aware of this, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying’s expressions weren’t pleasant. They disliked Ye Leng’an and didn’t want her to witness today’s events. But they knew if they made her leave, Huangfu Ruiling would leave too.

So, they pretended not to care.
