Chapter 3160 - 3161: Who Said She Was Unlucky
"Mad... Madam... the eldest miss, she..."
"What eldest miss? I don’t have such a useless daughter. Truly a thankless wolf, all these years I’ve treated her so well, and yet she sides with that old hag and Ding Zhuzui!"
Before the maid could say anything, Jin Cuiniang started cursing into the air, as if Ding Rong was standing right there, listening to her scoldings.
"Hiss!"
The maid drew in a sharp breath.
"Madam, please lower your voice, don’t let the people outside hear you."
If the guards outside heard this and it got to Old Madam’s ears, Madam would suffer again, and she would be punished as well.
Being assigned to serve Madam here, she couldn’t get any benefits, and she was already suffering enough. She didn’t want to be penalized because of Madam’s improper words.
"Humph, what is there to be afraid of?"
Jin Cuiniang couldn’t care less.
She had already fallen to such depths; what was there to fear now? Could Ding Zhuzui still cast her aside?
Compared to Concubine Qiongying, although the things she’d done might be called malicious, her crimes weren’t punishable by death. She actually hoped Ding Zhuzui would set her free; then she’d be liberated.
However, even if she were to leave the Ding Family, she would take that thankless daughter Ding Rong with her.
Why should she suffer outside while her daughter enjoyed life in the Ding Family? Her daughter must suffer with her!
"If he dares, let Ding Zhuzui come to find me. Haha, I would love to ask him about his cherished Concubine Qiongying—what kind of personality does she have now?"
After speaking, she laughed gleefully, feeling much better.
The maid, seeing Madam like this, felt chills running down her spine; in her view, the master now probably steered clear of women like the plague.
Considering what actions a Madam and a concubine beside him had previously taken, anyone dealing with them was doomed!
If she had a choice, she would rather be a laundress than serve in Madam’s courtyard; but what could she do—she was unlucky.
...
On the other side, although Concubine Qiongying was also imprisoned, over the years, she had managed to create a niche for herself within the Ding Family, with some loyal servants.
As soon as Ding Xu returned, she received the news, growing more delighted.
As long as her son was back, there was hope for her release; after all, her son was Old Madam Ding’s beloved!
"Haha, Xu’er is back, Xu’er has finally returned!"
She laughed heartily in the courtyard, making the maid serving her purse her lips.
This maid was originally just a laundry maid, not favored. Later, due to offending someone, she was sent to care for Concubine Qiongying, chosen for not being one of Concubine Qiongying’s people, ensuring she wouldn’t support her.
Though not favored, she knew Ding Family’s happenings.
It was said that Concubine Qiongying never even bothered to see Young Master Ding Xu because he was a sickly master who could pass away at any time.
Since his death was uncertain, she paid him no mind.
Given such a scenario, would Young Master Xu, upon his return, really offend his caring grandmother and father for a concubine who abandoned him?
No matter how others thought, she believed it was unlikely.
