CHAPTER 2376: CHAPTER 2376: WHAT ILLNESS?

If it were another mother, with her own daughter’s life hanging in the balance, how could she storm into a place like that without any sign of weakness, just ordering people around?

Isn’t she afraid that her disregard might cause her daughter to suffer even more here with Lin Caisang and the others?

Moreover, these past days, she has truly realized that she made a mistake.

Why should a girl not yet twenty waste her time and youth on an old man like Lin Baizhong?

There are plenty of young talents in Sky City for her to choose from!

Back then, she must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to cling onto Lin Baizhong like that.

But then she remembered, it wasn’t her who insisted on holding onto Lin Baizhong. It was because her mother constantly droned on about Lin Baizhong becoming favored by the city lord.

And he’s not that old, with decent skills, having become the leader of Sky City, he’s the ideal husband in every girl’s heart.

Perhaps she was brainwashed by her own mother, thus...

Thinking about a mother willing to push her daughter into the arms of a man who could be her father for the sake of power, she really doesn’t know what to say.

"My mom’s character is something I might not be able to change." She glanced at Lin Caisang and said honestly.

Maybe if she spends a few more days with her mother, she’ll be brainwashed again, and then her mom might want her to fancy some other old man in Sky City.

She might not be able to stand it, but she can surely avoid it.

"However, I will try my best to persuade her. But if she can’t be convinced in the end, there’s nothing I can do. Though I know my mom’s character; she tends to bully the weak and fear the strong. If someone really is stronger than her, she wouldn’t dare harm them."

Of course, her mom’s character is also one of stubbornness, unwilling to turn back unless she’s hit a wall, likely leading to many losses.

"I will persuade my dad not to oppose you. That, I can manage."

She said.

Whether she can persuade her mother is uncertain, but with her dad, for the sake of the Ding Clan’s honor, she is confident she can persuade him not to act against the Ding Clan.

"Hmm, that’s not bad."

Lin Caisang nodded, quite satisfied with Ding Rong’s words.

The most difficult part for her is dealing with the Ding Clan. After all, the city lord’s wife comes from the Ding Clan, and if they truly reach a point of irreconcilable conflict, it would be very awkward.

"Master, may I ask for a favor?"

Ding Rong looked at Lin Caisang, lowered her voice, and asked softly.

"Hmm?"

Lin Caisang raised an eyebrow.

Her own matters were unfinished, and yet Ding Rong has a request?

"Go ahead."

"My younger brother is ill, and no matter how many alchemists my father has hired, none have been able to cure him. I was wondering, could you cure him?"

Ding Rong immediately said.

Lin Caisang: "..."

They’ve hired so many alchemists but couldn’t cure him, how can she be sure she can?

"What illness?"

Although unsure if she can cure it, she still asked.

"Uh, I don’t know." Ding Rong shook her head awkwardly.

If they knew what illness it was, it would be easier to treat. But crucially, they don’t know what illness it is, so how could it be treated?
