"Concubine, the Third Young Master did not leave any messages," the maid whispered.

What she thought to herself was that even if Young Master Xu really left a message, it wasn’t something she, a minor maid, could find out, was it?

At most, she could only find out that Young Master Xu had left.

"No message left? No message left?"

Concubine Qiongying murmured to herself, seemingly in disbelief of what she heard.

"How is this possible? Was it you? Did you not find out clearly? How could my Xu’er leave no message for me? He is my son, my own son!"

After a long while, she looked up, her harsh gaze fixed on the maid, and she angrily questioned. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Upon hearing this, the maid merely pouted and didn’t say much.

She really wanted to ask, what’s with being your own son? Didn’t see Concubine Qiongying being all that concerned about this own son before either, not even visiting him for ten days or half a month?

If it weren’t for the Old Madam watching over, Third Young Master Ding Xu might have died and turned into dust long ago, right?

How could he have been so fortunate to wait until the Eldest Young Mistress sent someone to save his life?

Oh.

Now that she’s in trouble, she suddenly finds this son she used to disdain useful?

Where were you before all this?

Had you known this would happen, you should have treated Young Master Xu well from the start, shouldn’t you?

"Concubine, I have already found out for sure that the Third Young Master really didn’t leave any message. Perhaps he returned in too much of a hurry this time, and it is understandable that he didn’t think of you in the moment."

"What’s understandable? He didn’t even come to see me, and now he doesn’t even mention me at all. What does he mean by that?" Concubine Qiongying felt like she was going crazy, yelling at the maid.

Being confined in this wretched place every day, apart from this maid, there was no one else to see, let alone anyone who would let her out.

Finally, there was a golden opportunity. Her son, who was always cherished by the Old Madam Ding, had returned. As long as she could see him and pour out her grievances, she could leave.

Even if she could no longer be favored by Ding Zhuzui in the future, at least she could gain some freedom, right?

If she could achieve that, she would be content, staying quietly in the Ding Family and no longer doing anything she shouldn’t, as long as she could gain freedom.

How could she have expected that this son didn’t even inquire about her once? How humiliating is that for her?

"Wretched son, that wretched son!"

Her body trembled as she mumbled, cursing her son Ding Xu.

"Ungrateful bastard, heartless creature, I gave birth to him in vain. He doesn’t even care about his own mother’s life or death. Had I known... had I known, I should have let him die of illness and never agreed to let him go outside for treatment.

This wretched son, what did he learn outside? It’s definitely that bitch Ding Rong who taught him, that bitch is just like her vile mother, both being malicious things!"

The maid who overheard her words clearly: "..."

Speaking of malicious things, isn’t this Concubine Qiongying malicious enough?

Although the Old Madam had long given orders banning them servants from casually discussing the master’s affairs, who in the household didn’t know about the things Concubine Qiongying did?

That the Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master are still alive is because of their ironclad fate!

It’s just pitiful for that Madame.
