Chapter 3239 - 3240: Like a Shrew in the Marketplace
"Who knows what Zui Yifeng promised him, to make him abandon his dignity like that," she muttered.
"No matter what the promise is, it’s useless." Sui Zimo lifted his head and glanced at her.
Zui Yifeng himself is like a stray dog, exiled for his crimes to the Illusion Continent. Does he genuinely think he can promise anything? When the time comes, he won’t be able to deliver anything.
Moreover, he wouldn’t let Zui Yifeng reach that point.
"Zimo, I’ve been wondering, what are those high-ranking individuals on the higher continents thinking, sending criminals here? Do they feel Zui Yifeng hasn’t stirred enough chaos there and want him to create bigger turmoil here?"
Lin Caisang said.
Upon hearing this, Sui Zimo also fell silent.
He had considered this too but found no answer.
"When we get a chance, let’s visit those higher continents and offer them some advice. What do you think?" he suggested.
Lin Caisang: "..."
Not at all sure, would those higher-ups even listen to them?
"Never mind, I’m done talking with you. I’ll take a nap now."
She lay back down, preparing to sleep a bit more. Surely, tonight would be full of commotion, and she needed to restore her energy, always ready.
"Rest well. I’ll go check the kitchen."
Sui Zimo carried his son, and together they headed to the kitchen.
...
Meanwhile, the guards from the City Lord’s Mansion quickly arrived at the Ding Family.
Wearing the City Lord’s guard uniforms, the gatekeepers didn’t dare neglect them and promptly escorted them inside, soon meeting Family Head Ding, who happened to be accompanied by Old Madam Ding.
"What?"
Ding Zhuzui was infuriated upon hearing from the guards that Sixth Ding was causing trouble at the Lin Family’s gate.
"How can he act like a shrew in the marketplace, behaving so despicably?" he exclaimed, fuming.
Not only did he disgrace the Ding Family, but he also shattered a man’s dignity. He couldn’t believe such a person existed in the Ding Family.
"He’s truly problematic now. When did the Ding Family’s assets become his to take at will?" Old Madam Ding was equally enraged, slamming her palm on the table with a resounding thud.
She had come to discuss how to deal with Sixth Ding today, yet before they could delve into specifics, Sixth Ding was already courting disaster.
"Mother, what should we do now? Should we go together?" Ding Zhuzui asked.
With Sixth Ding making such a scene, they had to make a statement, or else it would appear as though these actions were endorsed by the Ding Family.
"There’s no need."
But Old Madam Ding raised her hand, rejecting his suggestion.
She felt genuinely embarrassed to attend, envisioning the disgraceful behavior Sixth Ding must be exhibiting.
Raising her gaze, she looked at her son.
"Summon the steward beside you and have him accompany the guards there. Inform Sixth Ding that from this day forward, he is no longer a member of the Ding Family and is officially removed from the Ding Family’s genealogy."
She declared.
"Ah?"
Ding Zhuzui was taken aback.
"Mother, expulsion from the genealogy is a major issue and should be discussed with the elders, right? Besides, he is Sixth Uncle, Father’s own brother."
As the family head, he alone couldn’t decide such significant matters, could he?
