Old Master Ding paused and added, "And try to be a better daddy to your daughter. Teach her well, what is she doing? Saying all that nonsense outside?"
"Can she not even understand that saying such things could cause trouble for our family?"
Old Master Ding did not scold Ding Nuannuan because he believed that she was the heir of his family but also, he was certain that Ding Nuannuan must have heard Gu Mo speaking nonsense.

Gu Mo pursed his lips and glanced down at his daughter, and seeing her frightened appearance he could only swallow his words.
If possible he wanted to swear to the heavens and tell his father-in-law that he did not teach these things to Ding Nuannuan. He had no idea where she heard these things.
