Chapter 456 - 455 Zhou Anping
Su Yang looked toward Chen Benhao. He finally understood why Chen had come here—so it turned out he was here to arrange his cousin’s engagement.
But really, was Su Tianyu putting on airs? To handle an engagement, he didn’t show up himself and instead sent a distant cousin to deal with it? Wasn’t that showing too little respect to the Ye Family?
In such circumstances, Ye Zhenying announced the matter publicly, indicating that the Ye Family agreed to it. This was strange—just who was Su Tianyu, and why did the Ye Family regard him so highly?
Ye Zhenying didn’t explain much, after all, it was the Ye Family’s internal affair, and no one else inquired further.
After the meeting dispersed, everyone left separately.
Hou Xiangde and Hou Shilin were immediately surrounded by people from the Ten Great Families because the Hou Family currently governed the order of the two provinces, which was critical for the Ten Great Families. They now sought to curry favor and clarify whether the Hou Family had any significant plans ahead.
Of course, these matters should have been discussed with Su Yang. But, since Su Yang had delegated the authority to Hou Shilin, the Ten Great Families naturally turned to the Hou Family for inquiries.
After this incident, the Hou Family, which had been at the bottom among the Ten Great Families, suddenly soared in status. Although they were still not able to shake the positions of the Ye Family and the Shangguan Family, they could now rank third among the Ten Great Families.
This was something Hou Xiangde had never imagined. After all, the Hou Family’s influence had previously only lingered on the outskirts of the Ten Great Families, barely gaining entry. Now, not only had they joined the ranks, but they had also ascended to a top three position, which excited him greatly.
