CHAPTER 2356: CHAPTER 2356: WENT STRAIGHT TO LIN RESIDENCE

"This..."

Listening to her words, the Lady of Sky City didn’t know what to say.

"This matter is difficult for me to comment on. Lin Baizhong, you’ve surely heard of him; he’s a man of unyielding character. If he’s really decided to hold onto Rong’er, I doubt even the Lord of Sky City himself could persuade him to let her go."

Moreover, she thought Ding Rong’s temper truly needed some improvement.

However, her sister-in-law’s reasoning didn’t seem entirely wrong—letting Ding Rong remain in Lin Baizhong’s custody like this certainly wasn’t appropriate.

"Allow me to discuss this matter with the Lord of Sky City to see if we can negotiate Rong’er’s release," she said.

"What? You still need to discuss this with the Lord of Sky City?"

Madam Ding’s face immediately darkened upon hearing the Lady of Sky City’s words.

Such a trivial matter, and yet the Lady of Sky City couldn’t handle it? Couldn’t she simply summon Lin Baizhong and demand he return her daughter? Wouldn’t that solve everything?

Did Lin Baizhong, a mere commander, dare to disobey the Lady of Sky City?

"Naturally,"

The Lady of Sky City nodded.

Sky City was currently in a precarious state, and she had no desire to create conflict with Lin Baizhong.

After all, she had heard that Ding Rong nearly killed Lin Baizhong’s precious daughter once. Luckily, the girl had spiritual powers, sparing her from disaster.

Now they wanted Ding Rong back, but it wouldn’t be so simple.

In this world where the strong ruled, Ding Rong attempted harm. To be frank, even if Lin Baizhong’s household decided to kill her, it would still be considered justified.

But they hadn’t—they had merely detained her without causing real harm.

"Then... I’ll await your news, sister,"

Suppressing her temper, Madam Ding responded to the Lady of Sky City with visible displeasure.

Privately, she thought that relying on the Lady of Sky City for this matter was hopeless. She would have to devise her own plan.

She heard Lin Baizhong returned this time, accompanied by that wife of his who had been living as a widow-for-years in all but name. At this hour of the day, Lin Baizhong was most certainly at the Commander’s Office.

If she went there now to confront that useless Madam Lin to demand her daughter back, she was certain she’d succeed.

This settled it!

With this thought, she hurriedly bid farewell to the Lady of Sky City and made her way straight to the Lin Residence.

...

Lin Residence.

Liu Yuyang had just returned from running errands outside and barely reached her courtyard gate when she saw a carriage completely blocking the entrance of her home.

She: "..."

Whoever owned this carriage was truly inconsiderate—blocking the gate entirely, not even bothering to move a few steps aside?

Left with no choice, she stepped forward, intending to ask the carriage owner to clear the way. But before she could say anything, she saw a woman being helped down from the carriage by a maid while muttering to herself.

"A mere commander—what’s so special about him? He actually dares to detain my daughter! Does he really think he’s a match for the Ding Clan? If he pushes me too far, I won’t let him off easily!"

Madam Ding, growing increasingly agitated on her way to the Lin Residence, thought about it more and became angrier.

Her daughter had been missing for so long, and as the girl’s father, her husband couldn’t even stand up for her. Fine, so be it.

Now, when she attempted to retrieve her daughter, her husband went as far as to stop her, leaving her no choice but to sneak out alone to find her child!

"Why are you all just standing there? Hurry up and smash the door open for me!"
