Li Yiran’s eyes lit up with a spark as she continued, “So, Brother Li Yi, did you discover anything during your visit to the Hidden World?”

Upon hearing Li Yiran’s inquiry, Li Yi promptly recounted the details of his findings. “Zhong Yating was originally just an outer sect disciple in the Huangfu family of the Hidden World, hailing from a remote town within its confines. Through a stroke of luck, she became affiliated with the Huangfu family as a disciple. When the Second Young Master ventured into the Hidden World, they crossed paths. Subsequently, Zhong Yating displayed persistent attentiveness towards him. However, the Second Young Master seemed indifferent to her advances. Later, it came as a surprise when the Second Young Master agreed to an engagement with Zhong Yating. However, post-engagement, their relations.h.i.+p soured upon their return to the Hidden World. Then, an incident occurred, leading to their eventual marriage.”

“What incident?”

Upon hearing Li Yi’s narration, Li Yiran appeared noticeably anxious. She struggled to contain her inner excitement as she asked, “Brother Li Yi, could you tell me what exactly happened?”

Seemingly recollecting something, Li Yi glanced at Li Yiran before speaking, “A life-saving favor. When the Second Young Master encountered danger during his training expedition, Zhong Yating saved him. Subsequently, rumors of their impending marriage surfaced.”

“A life-saving favor?” Li Yiran’s eyes betrayed a hint of confusion after hearing Li Yi’s account. “How could this be?”

Even if it were for other reasons or if Huangfu Ruixiang genuinely favored Zhong Yating, she could handle it. However, she never antic.i.p.ated such a reason.

A life-saving favor was the most challenging debt to repay. No wonder Huangfu Ruixiang married someone like Zhong Yating. However, it was precisely because of this life-saving favor that Zhong Yating’s position remained secure.

Even with Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying standing by her side, Zhong Yating’s position remained unshakable.

Seeing Li Yiran’s expression, Li Yi hastily continued, “Yiran, don’t worry. I suspect there’s more to this than meets the eye.”

“What?” Upon hearing Li Yi’s words, Li Yiran seemed to grasp at a lifeline. She immediately reached out and grabbed Li Yi’s sleeve, then asked, “Brother Li Yi, what do you mean? Are you suggesting that this life-saving favor might be false?”

If that were the case, pulling Zhong Yating down from her position as Huangfu Ruixiang’s wife would be effortless for her.

“Um…” Li Yi appeared troubled. “I just feel that there are too many coincidences. No matter how I look at it, something seems off. As for whether there are other undisclosed matters, we’ll need to investigate further.”

Li Yiran’s eyes flashed with disdain, but her face remained sincere. “Brother Li Yi, I’m already grateful for all your help. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do next.”

“Yiran, don’t worry. I’ll investigate thoroughly.” Li Yi a.s.sured her upon seeing her expression. “I’ll make sure to uncover all the details about Zhong Yating. I won’t allow her to continue oppressing you.”

With that, Li Yi intended to leave.

Despite Li Yiran’s insistence on his staying, Li Yi departed quickly. Firstly, he had rushed here immediately after returning from the Hidden World, feeling quite exhausted and in need of rest. Secondly, this was the ancestral mansion of the Huangfu family. If they were discovered inadvertently, explaining themselves would be difficult, potentially jeopardizing Li Yiran.

As Li Yi’s figure vanished into the night, all the smiles on Li Yiran’s face vanished with it, replaced by a trace of disgust and disdain.

If it weren’t for Li Yi being her only ally, she wouldn’t have played along with him for so long.

However, Li Yi turned out to be quite useless. After investigating for so long, he only uncovered shallow information.

At present, she only had a partial understanding of Zhong Yating’s situation. She needed to carefully plan her next move.

After today’s events, she had already resolved to pull Zhong Yating down, regardless of the cost. Only then would she have a chance to ascend, and her son could enter the family tree.

Contemplating this, Li Yiran fell into a somber mood.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an had returned to the villa. They sat in the living room, enjoying tea and conversation, appearing quite content.

“How did it go?” Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow, looking at Huangfu Ruiling with a faint smile.

“What?” Huangfu Ruiling was puzzled by the sudden question. “What do you mean?”

He wasn’t feigning ignorance; he genuinely didn’t understand Ye Leng’an’s sudden inquiry.

“The girl your mother brought to the Huangfu family’s ancestral mansion just now!” Ye Leng’an glanced at Huangfu Ruiling before continuing, “Don’t tell me you have no idea that Zhongyu Lingshan came for you today! I don’t believe it.”

“Zhongyu Lingshan?” Huangfu Ruiling remained perplexed. “What does she have to do with me?”

While he had heard the name Zhongyu Lingshan at the ancestral mansion earlier, he hadn’t paid much attention to her appearance. He even found her somewhat bothersome.

Thus, he genuinely didn’t know why Ye Leng’an suddenly mentioned Zhongyu Lingshan.

Observing Huangfu Ruiling’s expression, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but laugh. She shook her head and said amusedly, “If Zhongyu Lingshan knew what you were thinking now, she would be absolutely livid.”

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Zhongyu Lingshan was here for Huangfu Ruiling.

However, Huangfu Ruiling’s current demeanor made it seem as though he couldn’t recall who the other person was. This would undoubtedly be a grave insult to Zhongyu Lingshan.

Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes revealed a trace of helplessness. Then, he looked at Ye Leng’an and asked, “An’an, what are you trying to say? You should clarify at least!”
