Chapter 670 The foot-washing maid wants to take the position (13) When

she saw this, she sighed, but she was powerless. She went to the window and looked at the large bunch of mulberry flowers in full bloom in front of the window. Suddenly, she felt desolate.

In the next few days, she stayed in the room to accompany the eldest lady and Zhang Ma.

On the sixth day, the eldest lady's rash finally broke out, and there was no news of anyone infected with measles in the clan mansion. Everyone finally felt relieved.

On this day, during a rare leisure time, the third wife took her son to the eldest wife's Chunyuan.

As soon as she entered, she handed her son to Lianlian, and found the eldest wife's bedroom with her familiarity. They closed the door and chatted quietly.

Wu'er had come to Chunyuan today to ask the eldest wife for the Chunyuan expense account book, and happened to see this scene. He took advantage of no one to see and ran away quickly.

He estimated that it was time for dinner and the third wife should leave, so he came to Chunyuan and completed the tasks assigned by the master.

After he came back, he reported the matter to Zong Ying, who just told him to keep it to himself.

When the second wife was in trouble, the third wife and the first wife had close contacts, which always made people feel that there was some conspiracy. Zong Ying was actually reluctant to think about it, nor was he willing to get involved in the little tricks of these women in the backyard. He just wanted to see his eldest daughter Yuanyuan get better, and other things could be put aside.

The third wife returned to her Qiu Garden and rewarded all the servants in a good mood. Just then, the maidservant beside her brought her favorite walnut-flavored melon seeds. She picked up one with her bare hands and put it in her mouth. She waved her fan and looked in the direction of Chunyuan, and spit out the melon seed shell in her mouth neatly, "Bah, idiot", and then laughed uncontrollably.

In Chunyuan, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as she imagined. The first wife, Li Muting, fiddled with her nails, examined Lianlian, and said nothing.

Lianlian felt uneasy under the scrutiny, and repeatedly assured, "I have done everything the eldest lady ordered me to do."

"What I ordered?" The eldest lady's sharp fingernails poked in front of her face, just a few millimeters away from her eyes. "What did I order you to do?"

Lianlian said tremblingly, "The eldest lady ordered me to feed the young master...ah" If she hadn't closed her eyes very quickly, she would have no doubt that her eyes would have been poked blind.

"What did I order you to do?" The eldest lady spread out her five fingers, admiring the little bit of blood left on them.

Lianlian's eyelids were burning with pain. She learned her lesson this time and said carefully, "Madam, I didn't ask you to do anything. I did everything by Lianlian."

However, this answer still did not satisfy the Madam, "Why don't you think about it again?"

Lianlian felt the sharp fingernails getting closer and closer to her heart. She was afraid and screamed, "Madam, Madam, please let me go. I will listen to you in everything. I will listen to you in everything."

The Madam was obviously disappointed. "I thought you were smart and scheming because you could report Sui'er. Who knew you were as stupid as a pig..." As she said that, she sighed heavily.

"Madam, Lianlian is too stupid and made you angry. I beg you to be magnanimous and give me some advice." Lianlian took two steps back to avoid her sharp fingers and kept knocking her head.

She saw the eldest wife's feet start to move, and finally stopped in front of her forehead. She looked up stupidly, her eyes full of fear, and shouted, "Eldest wife?"

"You are so timid, I was just joking with you before." The eldest wife personally helped her up. Lianlian still had tears in her eyes. She was secretly thankful, but was pushed to the ground again. "Are you the wife or am I the wife? There is no hierarchy at all." After saying that, the eldest wife took out a clean handkerchief and wiped her fingers all over, and then threw the dirty handkerchief to the ground, right at Lianlian's feet.

Lianlian felt that she was simply moody and regretted her calculations against her good sister. She really wished she could have a chance to start over again, then she must be a servant girl and not get close to this terrible eldest wife.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" The first wife lifted her head with her foot. Seeing her tearful face, she couldn't help but uttered a distressed voice, "Look, how scared you are now."

"Madam, please forgive me, please forgive me." Lianlian was so scared that her body trembled when she saw her trying to wipe her tears. She wanted to hide but was afraid of being tortured more severely like before. She could only keep crying and crying.

"Alas, what are you afraid of? I don't eat people." The first wife put down her foot with psychological satisfaction and looked at the asparagus fern she had carefully cultivated with a twisted and vicious smile.

She, Li Muting, has never been a generous person. It is simply wishful thinking for someone who has deceived her to want to gain her trust. She wants to see how someone will end up losing more than what he gained. At that time, she will definitely comfort someone very attentively. The

second wife, who has lived in this open-air tent for almost a week, can't stand the torture of mosquitoes anymore, so she specially asked the maid to ask Zong Ying for mercy.

Zong Ying thought that she would live in the East Courtyard these days, and could truly fulfill her responsibilities as a mother, accompany Yuanyuan, and repair the fragile mother-daughter relationship. Who knew that she was just a complete fool. No, maybe she was not stupid, but just afraid of death.

These days, she did not even enter the door once. She greeted her daughter from afar through the door at meals three times a day, watched Aunt Zhang serve her daughter after meals, and then returned to her tent. What she did was obviously a superficial show, without any parental care and sincerity. He always claimed to be cold-hearted, but he was also very angry about her performance these days.

There is no difference without comparison. Compared with someone incompetent, Shi Yi, the foot-washing girl, is simply the incarnation of the Virgin Mary. She was the first one to confirm Yuanyuan's illness; she was the first one to ask Sui'er to go find the old housekeeper and report it to him; she was the first one to ask Aunt Zhang to write a list of contacts to avoid further infection... She was also the one who stayed with Yuanyuan and Aunt Zhang day and night, taking care of the two who fell one after another.

"Master, do you want to find another maid to replace Shi Yi? She has been holding on for so long, and she can't hold on any longer." Wu'er has always been by Zong Ying's side. Knowing how much Zong Ying cares about her, he naturally keeps an eye on the eldest lady's movements.

He passed by several times and saw Shi Yi dozing off by the eldest lady's bed, and then she pinched herself awake by force.
