"I..."
Concubine Qiongying, being scolded, could only weakly lower her head, not daring to say anything more.
"Patriarch, it was Qiongying’s fault."
"Huh!"
Ding Zhuzui let out a heavy sigh and glared at Concubine Qiongying.
Then, he turned his head to look at Old Madam Ding, his mother, took a deep breath, and spoke.
"Mother, according to what you said, should Rong’er take Xu’er away when she leaves tonight?" he asked.
"Yes."
Old Madam Ding’s gaze was heavy as she nodded.
"Mother, Patriarch, will the young lady... will she treat Xu’er poorly?" Qiongying looked weakly at Ding Zhuzui and asked.
Over the years, Ding Rong found pleasure in bullying her children, it’s sothing she couldn’t help but worry about.
Even under their noses, Ding Rong could bully her children. Now Xu’er is to follow Rong’er alone. What if he’s bullied out there?
There’s no place to even cry!
"You—"
Upon hearing her words, Ding Zhuzui choked with anger, nearly infuriated.
"Then according to what you said, how about letting Rong’er leave alone, and Xu’er stays with you, how about that?"
He asked in a composed voice.
This was originally a sarcastic remark, but upon hearing it, Qiongying’s eyes lit up.
"Patriarch, if it could be like this, it would be the best. We could invite Commander Lin’s daughter to our Ding Family to treat Xu’er’s illness. Our Ding Family is so large, we can afford to support one more person.
As long as she can cure Xu’er, she can stay at the Ding Family for as many years as needed.
Patriarch, don’t you agree?"
Ding Zhuzui: "..."
Why are the won around him so foolish?
He initially thought that with Jin Cuiniang locked away, the household affairs couldn’t always be managed by his mother, considering her age.
He hoped that Qiongying could learn to support the Old Madam.
But now it seems, not just support, if she doesn’t cause trouble for the Old Madam, he’d be grateful.
Old Madam Ding: "..."
What a large face she has, thinking that just to treat her son, soone would have to stay in the Ding Clan until her son recovers before leaving?!
"Qiongying, since you want Xu’er to stay, then let him stay, but as for the treatnt, you don’t need to speak of it again. You may have such gall, but both Zhuzui and I do not have such audacity to invite soone to our house and keep them for years!"
She said bluntly to Qiongying.
"Mother!"
Upon hearing Old Madam Ding’s words, Qiongying’s face turned pale, and she let out a wail.
"Mother, you can’t do this, Xu’er is..."
"Shut your mouth!"
Seeing a concubine dare to shout at his mother, Ding Zhuzui imdiately stopped her.
"Since you can’t bear to part with Xu’er, then keep him by your side. Isn’t this enough? Qiongying, though you are in the Ding Family, Sky City is not dictated solely by the Ding Family’s words!"
He warned coldly.
"But..."
Qiongying pouted, looking pitiably at Ding Zhuzui.
"But I can’t bear to let go of Xu’er, Patriarch, I’ll beg... I’ll beg Commander Lin, I’ll kneel to him, I’ll plead with him to save our Xu’er."
Ding Zhuzui: "!!!"
A pregnant woman kneeling to Lin Baizhong to beg him?
