"Isn’t it a bit rash to make such a casual decision with just a word?" He looked hesitantly at his mother and asked softly.
However, Old Madam Ding rely smiled faintly and glanced at him.
"Do you think, if the clan elders were to learn about what Sixth Ding has done, it would be as simple as expelling him from the clan records?"
Stop joking. With what Sixth Ding has done, do you think the clan elders will let him go? They might bring death upon his whole family.
Although Ding Rong and Ding Xu did not say much when they arrived, how could she not understand that right now, Sixth Ding dares to do anything?
It’s even likely that he’s already at odds with the City Lord’s Mansion.
"Uh."
Ding Zhuzui was choked by his mother’s words.
Indeed, the things Sixth Ding has done, in the eyes of the clan elders, can only have one outco.
How could it be so simple as being expelled from the clan records?
"Wouldn’t it be better to wait for the clan elders to arrive and then deal with him?" he suggested.
"No need. Let those outsiders handle Sixth Ding’s matters. We from the Ding Family can’t manage it anymore." Old Madam Ding shook her head and said.
Since Sixth Ding insists on courting death, she naturally won’t stop him.
"Zhuzui, as the head of the family, how can you be so indecisive? Sixth Ding is going all out to obtain those few dicinal ingredients. Do you think he’s only doing it for himself?"
"Well..."
Bringing up this matter, Ding Zhuzui naturally felt sothing.
But he didn’t understand why Sixth Ding was doing this, for money, for power?
Yet their Ding Family is connected by marriage to the City Lord’s Mansion. Whenever he handled matters outside before, he always bore the title of the City Lord’s Mansion. What is he dissatisfied with?
"Mother..."
"I don’t know who Sixth Ding is connected with outside, but that person definitely isn’t a good person. You can tell from what Rong’er and Xu’er said.
Furthermore, this matter should have considerable ties with the City Lord’s Mansion. Otherwise, Rong’er wouldn’t have reminded you not to get involved in these affairs."
Old Madam Ding interrupted Ding Zhuzui’s attempt to speak, addressing him in a grave tone.
"He can seek his own death, but he absolutely cannot implicate other mbers of the Ding Family. Also, if you have spare ti in the coming days, thoroughly investigate the Ding Family. Though we can’t offer much help, we can’t create chaos for our own family."
"Yes, I understand." Ding Zhuzui replied.
...
On the other side, at the Lin Family entrance.
Sixth Ding had indeed reached the point of shalessness and really refused to leave the Lin Family entrance.
Completely disregarding the contempt and disgust from other townspeople. He wouldn’t rest until he achieved his goal.
"Lin Baizhong, I’m telling you, hand over those dicinal ingredients imdiately, or else this family head will make sure you lose face starting today!"
He sat on the ground, clutching his chest, pretending to be seriously injured, shouting at Lin Baizhong.
The townspeople: "..."
They genuinely couldn’t discern who had lost face here.
How did the Ding Family end up with such a person, losing face himself yet unaware, still thinking he did well and made the opponent lose face?
"If I were part of the Ding Family, I’d probably find a hole to hide in right now, too ashad to face anyone." Soone looked at Sixth Ding’s appearance, feeling a chilling sense in their heart, whispering.
