"Do you usually get up this early, or are you too cold to sleep?" Zuo Ling thought it was the latter.
"Yes, I have them. I'm used to waking up at the same time every day. I can't fall back asleep even if I want to. After the extreme cold, I can't sleep at all. How is it? Is the patriarch's blanket still warm?"
Pei Nansheng found it hilarious to think of Zuo Ling's fierce behavior, and he even ate his leftovers with relish.
Hearing that the food was snatched from the head of the household by the new older sister, Xiao Hao's eyes widened, and he asked directly:
"Isn't the head of the family angry? Will he punish my sister?"
Hearing that he was alright, Xiao Hao felt relieved and whispered to him, "Sister is so amazing!"
"It's not warm, I'm freezing! Think of something to get this over with quickly. I can't stand this awful place for even a day longer."
Zuo Ling kicked up a clump of snow with force, which scattered in the air with a snap and fell down.
She had a whole space full of supplies, yet she was freezing and starving at the Ding family's house; the thought of it made her feel incredibly frustrated.
"It'll be soon. Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle brought up the division of the family with the head of the family last night. The Ding family was lively all night. Only you were able to sleep."
Pei Nansheng spoke in an exceptionally relaxed tone.
"Oh, really?" Zuo Ling was surprised.
This is big news.
"Without your spatial ability, the Ding family was already at a disadvantage in this battle for resources. Now that such a large amount of resources has been lost, the Ding family can't withstand the strain. The uneven distribution of benefits has led to long-standing dissatisfaction among the various branches with the main branch. With natural disasters occurring frequently and resources becoming increasingly scarce, each branch is starting to have its own agenda, and it's only a matter of time before they start causing trouble."
After thinking for a moment, Pei Nansheng asked in confusion, "Why is Ding Youyi so fixated on you? What did you do?"
Zuo Ling asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with him?"
"Yesterday, the head of the family held a meeting, intending to find the traitor. Ding Youyi said you were a traitor to the Bai family. Logically speaking, you had just met him, and at most you exchanged a few words. There was no deep-seated hatred between you. But why do you feel that he is very hostile towards you?"
Pei Nansheng noticed this when Ding Youyi questioned Zuo Ling.
Having heard about what happened last night, Pei Nansheng became even more certain that Ding Youyi harbored ill intentions towards Zuo Ling.
Zuo Ling was also puzzled. This was the first time she had met Ding Youyi in this life, and she shouldn't have such great malice.
Moreover, she didn't discover Ding Youyi's malice towards her in her previous life. So what's different about this life compared to her previous life?
I thought about it for a day...
If there's anything different, it's that Ding Jiaojiao disappeared, and she cut off one of Zhao Min's fingers... A thought immediately came to mind.
"Do you think it's possible that Ding Jiaojiao is Ding Youyi's daughter?"
Pei Nansheng paused, then said, "You mean..."
Suddenly, he thought of something and smiled strangely, "That's interesting. Ding Youdao dotes on Ding Jiaojiao, you know... Humph! Don't worry about it, I'll figure something out."
It wouldn't be difficult to use Ding Jiaojiao's hair to conduct a paternity test with Ding Youyi, but when they came back they said Ding Jiaojiao was missing, so now it's hard to go back on their word.
Zuo Ling was curious about what Pei Nansheng would do, and she was looking forward to it.
