The three dicinal ingredients must have been taken by Ding Rong and Ding Xu; they were never in the Ding Family, and yet he kept asking the Ding Family all this ti about where Old Madam Ding had hidden those three ingredients.
They weren’t in the Ding Family at all?
"Well... You never asked ."
The steward looked innocently at his master until he finished speaking, and only then did he notice how ugly his master’s expression had beco.
"Master, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so sullen?"
"You... you—"
Sixth Ding truly didn’t know what to say. How could he have the nerve to ask why his face looked so grim?
It would be strange if his face didn’t look awful.
Clearly, those dicinal ingredients should have already been in his hands. If the steward had told him that night he’d seen Ding Rong and Ding Xu in the Ding Family, he surely would have intercepted those three ingredients.
Even if it had been a wasted trip, it would have been still worth it.
But now...
"Get out, scram!"
He has to think about how to report back to his master; there’s a possibility those ingredients were taken by Ding Rong and Ding Xu!
"I take my leave."
The steward noticed that Sixth Ding was in a foul mood, surely related to what he had said, and quickly slunk away.
However, he truly didn’t know what fetching ingredients had to do with Ding Rong and Ding Xu returning to the Ding Family. Could it be that their return ant he couldn’t get the ingredients?
Those ingredients weren’t taken by those two.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Watching the steward leave, Sixth Ding cursed towards the door harshly.
Originally, with those three ingredients, he could gain many things from his master, but now he has gained nothing and even risks being despised!
All because of Ding Rong and Ding Xu—why did they have to return to the Ding Family at such a critical mont?
"No way, things can’t end like this! I must get those three ingredients back."
Aren’t Ding Rong and Ding Xu with Lin Baizhong’s daughter? Then they must be with the Lin Family; he will go there to demand them. He can’t let such good ingredients go to waste on outsiders, can he?
The two little brats born to Ding Zhuzui, choosing not to be distinguished sons and daughters of the Ding Family, insist on serving others instead.
Now, they are even willing to give away their family’s treasures.
They simply want to infuriate him!
"I must go back, hmph! I’ll go demanding in person; I don’t believe they would dare ignore my status!"
Saying this, he left the study and prepared to take the household servants to the Lin Family to demand the ingredients. At the sa ti, in Zui Yifeng’s residence, he too received the news.
"Lin Caisang, Sui Zimo, it really is them!"
Upon hearing from his subordinates that Ding Rong and Ding Xu had returned to the Ding Family on the sa day as Sixth Ding went demanding the ingredients, Zui Yifeng was utterly dumbfounded.
"That woman, where on earth did she get the ability to... to concoct the recipe?"
In his view, this was impossible, where did she get the speed for it?
"Master, what do we do now?"
The subordinate looked at the master simring with anger and asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Zui Yifeng only took a deep breath and glared fiercely at his subordinate. For the mont, he really couldn’t think of what to do.
