"I have to find a way, I have to find a way!"
Suddenly, as if a thought had struck her, her eyes lit up.
Who said that just because Ding Zhuzui had abandoned her and locked her away, she had no options at all? She had connections, there were plenty of people outside willing to help her!
"That’s how it will be. Ding Zhuzui, don’t you despise this madam? Then this madam will show you, when I’ve taken control of the Ding Clan, who despises whom!"
...
In another small courtyard.
Concubine Qiongying gently stroked her round belly, her face full of worry.
"Hua’er, tell , why can’t the family head fight for Xu’er? Hm?" she asked, seemingly talking to herself.
"Concubine, perhaps the family head is also left with no choice?"
The maid beside Concubine Qiongying, nad Hua’er, spoke softly upon hearing her mistress’s question.
To be honest, her Second Young Master’s illness, not only in Sky City but the entire Illusion Continent, how many people are unaware of it?
But how many alchemists have co through the house over the years? It’s countless by now, isn’t it?
And yet, which one could cure the Second Young Master’s illness?
Not a single one.
Now that there’s finally a glimr of hope, they absolutely cannot recklessly jeopardize the Second Young Master’s life again.
She felt that perhaps the family head, considering the Second Young Master’s condition, didn’t want to delay any longer. After all, finding an alchemist capable of curing the Second Young Master’s illness is truly difficult.
But with such reasoning, how could she dare to say it in front of Concubine Qiongying?
Though Concubine Qiongying appeared gentle and soft, even when bullied harshly by Madam Ding, she remained silent and endured.
However, how many people, while silently enduring, can stand by watching their children being bullied to death without saying a word?
She knew that Concubine Qiongying was also a formidable character!
So, no matter how much she understood, she wouldn’t speak up, because she simply didn’t dare.
She could only quietly try to console Concubine Qiongying.
"But that’s an alchemist whom Ding Rong knows. How could the family head... how could he entrust my Xu’er to that vicious girl Ding Rong? How much suffering will Xu’er have to endure outside?"
Concubine Qiongying thought, murmured, and began to cry softly.
Seeing this, Hua’er felt a bit flustered, unsure of what to say to comfort her.
She felt that whatever she said would be wrong. If she said the Eldest Miss was a good person, it would obviously offend Concubine Qiongying.
But if she said the Second Young Master wouldn’t be bullied outside, and Concubine Qiongying already thought the Eldest Miss was so bad, saying so would indirectly prove the Eldest Miss was good.
"Concubine, please don’t be sad. The Second Young Master seems to have a prosperous aura, and he will surely be fine in the future. As long as he overcos this hurdle, life will definitely get better and better."
She could only focus on the topic of the Second Young Master.
"But Xu’er was taken away by Ding Rong," Concubine Qiongying again dragged the topic back to Ding Rong.
Hua’er: "..."
At the end of the day, Concubine Qiongying was genuinely resentful towards the family head.
But since he was the family head, she didn’t dare to express anger towards him recklessly, nor did she dare to curse him even in private, so she could only transfer her focus onto the Eldest Miss who took the Second Young Master away.
