Chapter 2074: Chapter 2074: Really Quite Poisonous!

"It isn’t because of...?"

Ding Rong was about to answer but hesitated, looking at Lin Caisang with confusion.

"Wait, why are you asking these questions? Does the Old Madam have a grudge against you? That can’t be right, can it?"

Wasn’t Lin Caisang supposed to be going to the Illusion Continent to find her biological father, Lin Nian? How could she possibly have a feud with the Old Madam of the Sky City’s City Lord’s Mansion?

And if there was no feud, then why would she inquire about the Old Madam?

"Just answer the question," Lin Caisang said with cold eyes.

Hearing this, Ding Rong puckered her red lips helplessly.

What could she do? She was a watcher now, and anything she knew, she must divulge to Lin Caisang, her master.

Otherwise, she would have to spend time in Boundless Prison again, a place she definitely did not want to visit again.

"It’s because she was childhood friends with my grandaunt’s mother; they were quite close. Before my grandaunt’s mother died, she asked the former City Lord to marry the Old Madam to take care of her own son."

"That’s pretty much it. At least, that’s what my grandfather told me. No one in the Ding Family likes that old woman."

Of course, she did not consider the Old Madam as her relative either. When she lived in the City Lord’s Mansion, she never even saw the old woman.

"Then why did your grandaunt marry the City Lord?" asked Lin Caisang.

This question had lingered in her mind ever since she learned that the Old Madam came from the Ding Family.

The Ding Family was a reputable and influential clan in Sky City, and the mother’s family of the City Lord’s wife, who had a relationship with the Ding Family, was also a significant clan in Sky City. If a choice was needed, the Old Madam would certainly have arranged for the City Lord’s wife to marry her own biological son, not bolster the standing of a stepson.

"I thought the Old Madam would want the City Lord’s wife to marry her biological son."

"Ha."

Ding Rong scoffed.

"She wished she could, but did she have the capability?"

That woman, despite all her scheming throughout her life, ended up achieving nothing.

"Now that you’ve mentioned it, I might as well tell you that that old woman did scheme against my grandaunt and even my younger aunt, but she never succeeded.

Otherwise, why do you think the Ding Family wouldn’t tolerate that old woman? It’s precisely because she constantly plotted against the women of the Ding Family, ruining my younger aunt!"

"Hmm?"

Lin Caisang raised an eyebrow at her.

"I shouldn’t really speak of the specifics, but my grandaunt was indeed plotted against by that old woman, who wanted her to become her son’s wife. However, the plan was spoiled by the then City Lord, who is now my grandaunt’s husband, and she failed."

Ding Rong spoke honestly.

"Of course, this is a family secret, and there are things I don’t know, especially since I wasn’t even born at that time."

The matters of the older generation were something that a junior like her was not entitled to delve into; moreover, she didn’t want to know too much. To the elders, it was enough if she could stay away from that old woman in the City Lord’s Mansion.

"But that old woman is truly wicked!" she said.

"Just like you," Lin Caisang glanced at her and said.

Ding Rong: "..."

This woman, how could she be so ungrateful?

What was wrong with her? What’s wrong liking someone?

"Lin Caisang, I do like your father, but that’s hardly a crime, is it? In this age, is it wrong to like someone?"
