"You—"
The Old Madam gasped for breath and fell straight backward.
"Grandmother!"
Ding Rong was startled. She didn’t even bother to confront her own mother anymore and quickly caught the Old Madam.
"What are you all standing around for? Quickly, bring a chair over here. Nanny Fang, go find the physician." She instructed the people around her.
Her mother truly had a talent for infuriating others to death! She glanced sideways, ignoring the fact that she was Jin Cuiniang’s daughter, and glared at her directly.
Seeing that his own mother had been angered into fainting by his wife, Ding Zhuzui was also at a loss, his face pale with fear, as he hurried forward to check on her.
"Rong’er, how is your grandmother?"
"It’s nothing, just fainted from anger. She’ll be fine once she catches her breath," Ding Rong said after checking the Old Madam’s pulse and sighed in relief.
Fortunately, when she was in Lin Caisang’s golden pearl space, forced into Boundless Prison, she was made to learn quite a bit of dical skills, which she could now apply to help her grandmother.
If not, she wouldn’t even know what to do.
"Father, I can take care of Grandmother here; you go deal with her. She..."
She looked at her own mother, only to see Jin Cuiniang still unaware of her mistakes, even displaying a triumphant look as she gazed at them, watching the Old Madam.
She was at a loss for words, unable to say anything further.
Facing such a mother, what could she say? Plead for her, or hit her when she’s down?
Neither seed right, perhaps it was best to do nothing at all.
"She..."
Following his daughter’s gaze, Ding Zhuzui looked at Jin Cuiniang’s smug expression and felt helpless.
"What else could I say about her?"
If he turned around and said a few more words, would she anger them to death as well, both mother and son dead under her words?
"There’s nothing to say, but sothing must be done. Father, none of mother’s people can stay," Ding Rong said with a deep breath to Ding Zhuzui.
"Rong’er, you—"
Jin Cuiniang shouted angrily upon hearing her daughter’s words.
What did she an by none of her people could stay, planning to send all her trusted aides away?
It’s often said that daughters side with others, and now it seed true. She had intended to rely on her daughter, but never thought she couldn’t even rely on her!
Was she to rely only on herself?
"All are to be executed by the rod!"
Not waiting for Ding Zhuzui or Ding Rong to say anything, the Old Madam, who had just slowly regained consciousness, coldly uttered these four words.
"Hiss!"
Ding Zhuzui gasped sharply.
"Mother, isn’t this... too cruel?"
When the household servants did sothing wrong, the most they would face would be sale, but execution by the rod was sothing reserved for those guilty of severe cris!
Moreover, weren’t there at least ninety-nine, if not a hundred, servants in Jin Cuiniang’s courtyard?
"Family Head Ding, Madam Ding just said that my husband and your daughter... slept together," Liu Yuyang raised an eyebrow at Ding Zhuzui, a wicked smile tugging at his lips.
To say sothing like that in front of so many people, what more vicious things would she say behind their backs?
"They say rumors can kill, do you believe that, Family Head Ding?"
"Uh."
Ding Zhuzui was choked by Liu Yuyang’s words.
But thinking of the implication in her words, he was imdiately rendered speechless.
Yes, Jin Cuiniang seed to be no different from soone gone mad now.
