"It’s somewhat useful, but... it’s hard to say," Ding Xu said.

"Grandmother, please ask Father to keep a closer eye on Grandpa Six, so he doesn’t cause any more trouble," Ding Rong chimed in.

"I bet he doesn’t have that kind of ability."

Old Madam spoke gravely.

If Sixth Ding truly dared to secretly cause trouble behind their backs, then she had no reason to consider the old feelings between Sixth Ding and the Ding family patriarch anymore.

"Zhuzui, have someone watch their every move closely. If there’s any issue, act directly, no need to be courteous—after all, it’s better to make an example!"

"Yes, Mother, I’ll take care of it," Ding Zhuzui responded.

Feelings are mutual. If Sixth Uncle no longer respects past relations, why should they?

If he truly dared to take action, there was no reason for courtesy.

Moreover, he truly found out that his Sixth Uncle had quite the capabilities. Even he only knew his mother had sought a few herbs to extend Xu’er’s life, without knowing which herbs they were.

But Sixth Uncle actually sent someone to request them, he must know what those herbs are.

How did he find out? Was it from Jin Cuiniang or Qiongying? Only now did he realize his capabilities were even less than those of the women in the rear courtyard.

They knew things he didn’t!

"Hah!"

Old Madam also let out a long sigh and turned to look at Ding Xu.

"Xu’er, those herbs were found for you, since you like them, go ahead and take them."

"Thank you, Grandmother."

Ding Xu responded happily, thanking Old Madam.

...

After dinner, Ding Rong and Ding Xu finally left the Ding Family, with Old Madam and Ding Zhuzui seeing them off to the door, watching their silhouettes disappear from sight before returning inside.

"Zhuzui, send someone to your Sixth Uncle’s house, keep a close watch for me, don’t give them any chance!" The moment they returned home, Old Madam instructed her son.

"Rest assured, I’ve already given orders. If Sixth Uncle tries to stir trouble, I won’t hold back," Ding Zhuzui said.

On one side was his own sister and his own children, on the other was a Sixth Uncle who constantly tries to climb over him and barely speaks a word. How could he not weigh lightly and heavily?

"But it’s not necessarily that he wants to stir trouble," Old Madam said deeply.

Upon hearing this, Ding Zhuzui also fell silent for a moment.

"Rong’er and Xu’er taking those herbs must have significant use, I didn’t expect Sixth Uncle would conspire with outsiders!"

If today only Rong’er and Xu’er took the herbs, perhaps he wouldn’t have thought the worst.

But Sixth Uncle’s side had someone come to ask for those herbs, which forced him to think more. After all, Ding Rong and Ding Xu were now directly connected to the Commander’s Mansion and the City Lord’s Mansion.

Recently, there have been significant movements in Lin Baizhong’s Commander Mansion and the City Lord’s Mansion.

With Sixth Ding suddenly appearing, what does that indicate? It shows he was persuaded by someone to counter the people from the City Lord’s Mansion?

How could he allow that?

"Sixth Uncle really lost his mind, thinking some people would give him such benefits?" He shook his head, feeling Sixth Ding was truly too naive.
