If she can stay in the Ding Family and still send out such letters to contact people, if she’s sent to the village, even he would find it difficult to reach her. Wouldn’t she become even more unruly?

Besides, she’s lived in the Ding Family for so many years; she knows the family very well.

If she wants to do something harmful to the Ding Family, it would be easy. How could he let such a person stay outside?

It shows he had been thinking wrongly before. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Master, what do you... what do you mean?"

Concubine Qiongying looked at the cold sneer on Ding Zhuzui’s face and felt her heart turn icy cold.

"No, you can’t kill me. If Xu’er and the others find out you killed their mother, they’ll never forgive you. You can’t do this, you can’t."

Yes, she told herself, Ding Zhuzui wouldn’t kill her.

Even if Ding Zhuzui didn’t care about her as a woman, he would care about his children. Just like Ding Ru and Ding Jun’s mother, she had cheated on Ding Zhuzui so many times; any man would find it unbearable.

But she was still living well, and Ding Zhuzui even bought her a large house outside to retire in.

All of this was on account of Ding Ru and Ding Jun, giving her such honor.

And she had borne Ding Zhuzui several children and was pregnant with another one. Ding Zhuzui wouldn’t touch her. Not to mention, she’s still pregnant.

Upon hearing her words, Ding Zhuzui looked up at the starry sky, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

He really wanted to kill this woman in front of him; ever since he regained his memory and knew that Ru’er and Jun’er’s mother was harmed to such an extent by her, he wanted to kill this woman.

However, he was stopped by his mother, and for the sake of the children, he forcibly restrained himself from killing her.

He just thought of letting her give birth to the child in her womb, then sending her to the village to fend for herself. That was already a big concession. Who knew...

He lowered his head and looked at Concubine Qiongying.

"Yes, even out of respect for Xu’er, I will not kill you."

He had promised Xu’er not to take her life, even if this woman was wicked; she was still Xu’er’s mother.

"Come, take her away!"

He turned around abruptly and gave the order into the night.

The next moment, two men dressed in black appeared from nowhere and lifted Concubine Qiongying on either side.

"What are you doing? What do you want to do?"

Concubine Qiongying had never been so afraid before; she struggled constantly, trying to break free from their hold.

But it was of no use, and she was quickly dragged away.

...

"Here... where is this place?"

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Concubine Qiongying felt inexplicably frightened.

She had lived in the Ding Family for so many years and had explored everything. But she never knew the Ding Family had such a place.

"This is the secret prison of the Ding Family. You’ll live here from now on," Ding Zhuzui said coldly, looking at Concubine Qiongying.

"What?!"

Concubine Qiongying couldn’t believe it. How could the Ding Family have such a place?

"No, Master, you can’t do this. I’m carrying your child, how could you let me live in such a place? Aren’t you afraid... afraid something might happen to the child in my womb?"
