The three medicinal ingredients must have been taken by Ding Rong and Ding Xu; they were never in the Ding Family, and yet he kept asking the Ding Family all this time about where Old Madam Ding had hidden those three ingredients.
They weren't in the Ding Family at all?
"Well... You never asked me."
The steward looked innocently at his master until he finished speaking, and only then did he notice how ugly his master's expression had become.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so sullen?"

Sixth Ding truly didn't know what to say. How could he have the nerve to ask why his face looked so grim?
