How could he not understand himself? If he hadn’t insisted on marrying Ru’er’s mother as his legitimate wife, his mother wouldn’t have turned against him.
Everything was all his fault.
He was too full of himself, thinking he could do his best, but actually, he couldn’t do anything well.
"Sigh!"
He sighed once again, turned around, and left the underground prison.
...
That night, the sky over Sky City was already beginning to lighten up slightly.
All around the Lin Family, it was tranquil, seemingly even without the sound of insects, and such silence made one’s hair stand on end.
Lin Baizhong had already sent people to keep an eye on Sixth Ding, while on this side, the City Lord’s Mansion’s guards were always prepared, never relaxing, ready to face the most important battle ahead.
anwhile, in Sixth Ding’s house.
The people sent out had not returned, and Sixth Ding was so furious he almost smashed everything in his study.
"Useless! How did I end up raising such a bunch of useless people?"
He used to feel that the people under his command were so formidable, there was nothing they couldn’t accomplish once he instructed them to do it.
He was always proud of his family’s guards.
Who would have predicted that when it ca to doing the most important thing, those people turned out to be useless, without any use at all?
"Isn’t it just to have them steal so herbs? Even such a small task can’t be accomplished! What use is there in keeping them?"
Indeed, what use was there in keeping such useless people?
"Master, those people seem to not be coming back. What should we do next?" His subordinate beside him quietly reminded him and also asked him.
Upon hearing this, Sixth Ding glanced at him with a resentful look.
"Does the master not know that? Do you need to remind the master?"
Those people had been gone for so long and still hadn’t co back. It would be strange if they could co back. They must have been captured by Lin’s people.
But fortunately, the people he sent were all dead n. As long as they didn’t complete their mission, no information could be extracted from them.
He took a deep breath, utterly furious in his heart.
He just couldn’t understand it. It was such a small matter. Why wouldn’t Old Madam Ding give it to him?
In the past, those few herbs were reserved for Ding Xu and couldn’t be given to others. He was angry but wouldn’t argue much with Old Madam Ding.
But now, what’s the situation?
Ding Xu had been away from ho for more than a month. Either he was dead, or his illness had been cured, right?
If so, what’s the point of keeping those herbs? Why couldn’t they be given to him?
"Stay here and keep watch. I have to go out for a while." With a command to the subordinate beside him, he got up and walked out of the study.
This matter wasn’t done well, so he must tell that person. Previously, according to that person’s instructions, these herbs seed very important to him. Just because he couldn’t get them, doesn’t an that person can’t get them, right?
"Yes, Master." The subordinate responded, watching Sixth Ding’s figure disappear into the night.
...
At the Lin Family, it wasn’t long before the atmosphere beca extrely tense.
A small half-circle of black-clad people had surrounded the Lin Family, and it seed they wouldn’t stop until they captured Lin Caisang.
