Chapter 721: Paying the Price

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

The engagement ceremony of the head of the Huangfu family was considered a significant event in the Hidden World. Invitations had been steadily received by the major families. However, the Ye family had yet to receive an invitation from the Huangfu family.

You may leave! Ye Hongxuan waved his hand, dismissing the disciple who had come for the third time today with the same disappointing news.

After the disciple left, Lian Mengzhu wore a worried expression. She raised her head, looking at Ye Hongxuan, and after a moment of contemplation, she spoke, Hongxuan, do you think the Huangfu family might not intend to invite us?

She understood they couldnt attend in the name of Ye Lengans parents, but not even having the qualification to attend troubled her.

It wont happen, Ye Hongxuan said, though his lack of confidence was apparent. Its possible the invitation hasnt been sent yet. The Ye family is a prominent alchemist family, one of the top ten alongside the Huangfu family. Even if the Huangfu family is powerful, they cant completely disregard us. The invitation will come.

He couldnt tell if he was saying it for his wifes comfort or to convince himself.

But Lian Mengzhus expression saddened. Other major families have received the Huangfu familys invitation, and even some smaller families. We havent heard anything. Isnt that unusual?

Ye Hongxuan sighed, acknowledging the uncertainty they faced.

Hongxuan, do you think Lian Mengzhu hesitated before asking, Should we send someone to the Huangfu family to inquire if theyve forgotten our Ye familys invitation?

Impossible. Ye Hongxuan rejected the idea firmly. We cant. Father wouldnt allow it either. Sending someone now would only bring shame to the Ye family.

If the Huangfu family had indeed forgotten, it was one thing. However, if they hadnt intended to invite the Ye family from the beginning, visiting them would be an embarra.s.sing move.

Because of the last incident, his father had been harboring resentment. If any rumors detrimental to the Ye family spread at this time, he would surely be infuriated. In the end, it would be unfortunate for them.

But, if the Ye family doesnt receive the invitation this time, then wouldnt we not even be able to attend our own daughters engagement ceremony? Lian Mengzhus voice quivered. Moreover, if the Huangfu family really doesnt intend to invite the Ye family this time, then rumors will still spread everywhere! Everyone will be guessing if our Ye family and the Huangfu family have fallen out.

We cant do anything now. We can only continue to wait, Ye Hongxuan said helplessly. No matter what we do, its all wrong, so lets just wait and see!

If the Huangfu family doesnt give us an invitation, then we Lian Mengzhu almost couldnt continue. She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the sadness in her heart before continuing, Will we not be able to attend Lengans engagement ceremony?

Ye Hongxuan could not answer, choosing instead to remain silent. The atmosphere became particularly somber.

Dont think too much. Ye Hongxuan finally consoled his wife. Even if we cant attend this time, it wont change the blood relations.h.i.+p between us. She might still have some opinions about us now, but time will heal everything.

It wont happen again, Lian Mengzhu muttered, Im afraid that Lengan will not return to the Ye family. Father will not let her return either.

Dont worry, Father will, Ye Hongxuan a.s.serted, As long as Lengan becomes the matriarch of the Huangfu family, Father will definitely let Lengan come back.

He understood his fathers priorities, always putting the familys interests first. As long as Lengan could bring benefits to the Ye family, his father would compromise in the end.

Lian Mengzhu fell silent. No one knew what she was thinking.

By the way, hows Wanwan doing now? Ye Hongxuan suddenly asked, Have you visited her these two days?

Ive been there a few times. Wanwans condition is much better than a few days ago, but her body is still very weak, Lian Mengzhu said. She suffered a lot this time. Moreover, because her dantian was destroyed, Wanwan cant heal herself now. Moreover, she cant take many pills. Im afraid it will take a long time for her to recover.

She paused for a moment, considering her words, before continuing, Lengan was really a little too ruthless this time. Although Wanwan had occupied her position for so many years, the main culprit of this matter was Lian Zixin. Wanwan can be considered innocent. She had no choice back then.

Although Ye Lengan had claimed Wanwan wanted to harm her, Lian Mengzhu found it hard to believe. Wanwan was raised by her and couldnt be such a malicious child. There must be a misunderstanding.

Dont say these words in front of Lengan, Ye Hongxuan reminded her. Her relations.h.i.+p with Wanwan wasnt good to begin with. If she hears such words, she might hate Wanwan even more. It will become even more difficult for them to get along well with each other.

I know. Lian Mengzhu nodded. Then, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes. If Lian Zixin hadnt swapped Lengan, she wouldnt be in this state now.

As for Lian Zixin, I wont let her off. Ye Hongxuans eyes flashed with a cold glint. She must pay the price for what she has done.
