Chapter 2029: Chapter 2029: What’s Going On?

...

"Left, really left? When did he leave? When?!"

In another courtyard, Ding Rong heard that Lin Nian had already left, and she nearly collapsed.

Lin Nian had actually left without even saying goodbye to her, following his wretched daughter back to the wastelands?

"Wretch, wretch!"

She cursed while sweeping everything from the table to the floor.

"Miss!"

The maid, startled by her actions, hurried over to stomp out a flame on the rug that was about to be lit by the oil lamp, then exhaled softly.

"Miss, please calm down, this carpet was handmade by the lady of the manor herself, if it were ruined, we wouldn’t be able to explain it to her."

Luckily, it was only slightly burned, and she had acted just in time.

And this was just a small corner; she thought to place a pot of flowers here later, then no one would notice.

"What carpet, you are also a wretch!"

Ding Rong was about to explode with anger, not caring about the carpet at all, and kicked the maid.

"Ah!"

The kick, infused with mystical force, sent the maid flying.

"Sui’er..."

Another maid, seeing her colleague fall, wanted to help but was restrained by another maid beside her.

"Don’t go, absolutely don’t go!"

While pulling her back, the maid continuously glanced towards Ding Rong, the meaning behind her eyes could not have been clearer.

Based on Ding Rong’s demeanor, unforgiving whether she was right or wrong, if they dared to help Sui’er, she would definitely worsen Sui’er’s beating, redirecting all her frustrations from Commander Lin onto Sui’er.

They would then be the ones truly hurting Sui’er.

The restrained maid turned her head slightly and stealthily glanced at Ding Rong, her eyes filled with resentment.

This woman was truly venomous; if she weren’t the lady of the manor’s niece, perhaps she would have been retaliated against and beaten to death already. How could she be so arrogant?

"You must quickly send someone to fetch him back for me!" Ding Rong ordered the maids.

The maids, hearing her command, simply bowed their heads in silence.

What a joke, they had heard that Commander Lin left on a flying demon, and a very powerful one at that — how could they possibly catch up to him?

"What is going on here?"

Suddenly, a calm voice spoke from outside.

Hearing the voice, Ding Rong quickly recovered her senses and rushed towards the newcomer.

"Nanny Jin, please speak to my aunt, and ask her to send someone to bring Lin Nian back. He can’t leave; how could he abandon me to chase after another wretched woman?"

Nanny Jin, initially looking gently at Ding Rong, suddenly grew cold.

"Miss, you are the legitimate daughter of the Ding Family; how can you speak such unbecoming words?"

"I..."

"Lin Nian is the Commander of the Sky City Guard; even if he weren’t, a man of his age isn’t suitable for a young lady of your tender age to be fond of. Miss, why can’t you understand?"

Nanny Jin didn’t give her a chance to respond, continuing her reproach.

She glanced sideways at the scattered items and the burnt hole on the carpet, her disdain evident on her face.
