Before this, although Huangfu Ruiling held great power, he had not considered taking the position of the family head. He didnt know why, but recently, he had suddenly changed his mind and removed Huangfu Jingzhang from the family heads position.

Hearing Nangong Xiyus words, Zhongyu Liuyings expression stiffened. After she reached out to adjust her hair, she smiled and responded, Sister-in-law, youve got it wrong. We are talking to Ruiling to discuss the family head transition. Besides, we are his parents. Its perfectly normal for us to seek him out. Im not sure whos been gossiping without understanding the situation, causing you to misinterpret.

Nangong Xiyus face then displayed a hint of mockery. So, thats how it is. Seems like I made a mistake. But, sister-in-law, now that the big brother has stepped down as the family head, youve also given up your role as the family matriarch. In the future, you can relax and enjoy life. You wont have to worry about family matters anymore.

She couldnt believe that Zhongyu Liuying didnt value the power she held. All along, Zhongyu Liuying had taken pride in her status as the matriarch. Despite Huangfu Ruiling having taken away most of the familys authority, he hadnt shown any interest in the internal responsibilities. As a result, Zhongyu Liuying had complete control over these domestic affairs. However, she was now required to relinquish all her power.

In contrast to Huangfu Jingzhang, who had merely lost a t.i.tle, Zhongyu Liuying had lost not just a t.i.tle but also real influence. Nangong Xiyu couldnt believe that Zhongyu Liuying was as calm as she appeared.

As expected, after hearing Nangong Xiyus words, Zhongyu Liuyings face immediately revealed a trace of displeasure. But she managed to force a smile, saying, Sister-in-law, youre overthinking it. Although Ruiling has taken over as the family head, he hasnt married yet. Ill continue to manage the domestic affairs of the family for his sake.

In any case, she was unwilling to let go of her authority. Moreover, although Huangfu Ruiling was poised to become the family head, he hadnt specified how to handle the internal matters. As the family heads mother, she was obligated to help him with his worries, right?

Thinking about this, Zhongyu Liuying appeared more self-a.s.sured.

Hearing Zhongyu Liuyings response, Nangong Xiyu couldnt help but curse in her heart, but she concealed it on her face. However, Ill still need to check with Ruiling later. After all, such matters should not be taken lightly!

She didnt believe that Huangfu Ruiling would simply allow Zhongyu Liuying to manage domestic affairs indefinitely.

No need. Zhongyu Liuying couldnt help but raise her voice, but she quickly realized that she had overreacted. She hastily composed herself before continuing, Sister-in-law, are you doubting my words? I am Ruilings mother, and thats a fact. Cant a mother manage the familys internal affairs for her own son?

Originally, Huangfu Ruiling probably didnt care much about these issues, which was why he hadnt brought them up. If Nangong Xiyu raised the topic, Zhongyu Liuying might truly lose her authority within the family.

A hint of disdain crossed Nangong Xiyus face, but she still wore a smile.

Sister-in-law, Im not doubting you. However, we must still follow the Huangfu familys traditions. The family internal matters have traditionally been managed by the family matriarch. However, if the family head is unmarried, the family head will make the choice. Although you are the family heads mother, you must adhere to the Huangfu familys rules.

Zhongyu Liuyings expression immediately darkened. When she looked at Nangong Xiyu, there was even a hint of threat and warning. But dont forget, no matter what, Ruiling is my son. There are no grudges between mother and son overnight.

Upon hearing such a threatening remark, Nangong Xiyu smirked disdainfully.

Youve misunderstood me. I didnt say anything. I just plan to adhere to the

Huangfu familys rules. Of course, if you think Im mistaken, I wont say more. But some things are better expressed openly. Without the orders of the new family head, I dont know whether to listen to you or not..
