Chapter 3164 - 3165: As Long As She Can Live Out Her Remaining Years Peacefully
He would never believe there was no one behind her.
But no matter how they investigated, they couldn’t find anything else, so they could only temporarily confine Concubine Qiongying.
Originally, they intended to send her directly to the estate, but Concubine Qiongying was pregnant, so they could only confine her for now, and send her to the estate after the child was born.
But how could he say these things to Ding Xu?
"Your aunt, she’s doing well, doing well."
All his words converged into one awkward statement.
Besides saying she’s doing well, what else could he say? Rong’er and Xu’er are out there now, and it’s not easy for them. He couldn’t let them worry about the chaos at home, could he?
Upon hearing his words, Ding Xu’s silver eyes flickered slightly.
It’s hardly ’doing well’; he was clear about his aunt. Now that Jin Cuiniang had fallen, if she didn’t stir up some trouble, she wouldn’t be herself.
Back then, she was so against him leaving home, simply because he was the only child whom grandmother cherished the most.
"Father, I don’t have any other requests, I just hope my aunt can peacefully live the rest of her life."
He said.
"Uh."
Ding Zhuzui was at a loss for words.
He knew the matters at home couldn’t be hidden from the two children.
But these two children spoke so bluntly to their father, he really couldn’t handle it.
It felt... quite awkward, really!
"Alright, Dad will handle it. Xu’er, as long as you’re doing well, you don’t have to worry about home."
He nodded and said.
...
After a while.
The two followed Ding Zhuzui to Old Madam Ding’s courtyard.
On the way, Ding Rong glanced at Ding Xu with a hint of amusement in her eyes, "You seem to have come to terms with it."
Ding Xu glanced at her with indifferent eyes and smirked.
"What else can I do?" he retorted to Ding Rong.
He’d seen through Concubine Qiongying’s indifference long ago when he was still at home.
Thinking he would eventually die, once he was of no use, she could neglect him without a care;
When she was living under the lowly status of Jin Cuiniang, to make her life a bit more comfortable, she allowed her children to be endlessly bullied by Ding Rong and Jin Cuiniang, remaining ignorant;
Which of these instances didn’t demonstrate that Concubine Qiongying had no genuine affection for him or her other children?
If she truly cared, even if she couldn’t stand up to Jin Cuiniang, she could at least have comforted them a bit when they were hurt, right?
But Concubine Qiongying never thought of this, nor did she ever do it.
It seemed as if being troubled by Jin Cuiniang was the most normal thing ever, something they should endure.
"She’s always been this way. Perhaps I’ve inherited her indifference too?" he said, also questioning himself in his heart.
Anyway, he truly didn’t care what fate awaited his aunt now, as long as she was alive, he felt it was enough.
"Ha."
Ding Rong chuckled lightly.
The Ding Family members indeed were all such people.
"Don’t be upset, at least she’s still alive. As for the things she’s done, maybe... she even made some contributions." she said.
Ding Xu: "!!!"
As he walked forward, he glanced at his father’s back.
Almost startled by Ding Rong’s words, but he had to admit, her words were quite on point.
