Chapter 673 The Foot-Washing Girl Wants to Get to the Top (16)

"Help the Third Madam down." Zong Ying raised his hand and wiped his eyelids, feeling exhausted.

The old housekeeper and other servants had already held the Third Madam, "Third Madam, listen to the master and let go."

He couldn't bear to hold his son's body. The child, who was less than five years old, was thin and small, and had no weight when held. This was his only son. But as a father, he didn't even have the chance to watch his son grow up.

"I don't, I don't, this is my son, I don't believe he left me. He was playing games with me. He was playing games with me..." The Third Madam bit the old housekeeper's hand, "Ah..." The old housekeeper let her go in pain, and she went to bite other servants.

"Third Madam...ah..." The servants naturally didn't dare to fight back, so they could only let go of their hands. The Third Madam

escaped the shackles and ran to Zong Ying.

"Don't move." Zong Ying turned his head to look at her, his eyes were indifferent, but she just stood there. She saw hatred in his eyes.

"Where were you when Bao'er fell into the water?"

"I was..." She wanted to explain herself, but she couldn't tell a lie, "I was..."

She really couldn't say it. If she said it, Zong Ying would hate herself to death. By then, she would have no chance to make a comeback.

"You don't have to answer me, I know everything. When Bao'er got into trouble, you, as a mother, were not around. What does this show? It shows that you are not a competent mother." Zong Ying's voice became louder and louder, and finally turned into a question, "When Bao'er was born, I deliberately let Mu Ting raise her by my side, just thinking that Mu Ting's temperament is more stable than yours, and she will definitely be able to educate Bao'er well. It's been less than five years, and you have harmed Bao'er to this point. Give me back my Bao'er."

"Master..." Her tears fell quickly and urgently, and her legs softened and she knelt in front of him, "Master, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it. Bao'er is also my only child. How could I, as a mother, not love him?"

The first and second wives who hurried over saw her like this, and they lowered their eyes with some reluctance. The second wife, in particular, looked at the pale young master, clasped her hands together, and chanted the mantra for the afterlife on the spot.

"The matter of burying Bao'er is left to you, Mu Ting." When Zong Ying saw the visitor, he seemed to have found his backbone.

The first wife, Li Mu Ting, walked to his side, supported his hand, her eyes full of sorrow, and said with empathy, "Mu Ting understands."

The servants in the mansion also saw the signs. Once the young master died, the third wife would definitely fall out of favor.

The old housekeeper looked at the first wife with a high opinion of him. He didn't expect that this woman's methods were so clever that she could easily win back the master's heart. It seems that she has firmly sat in the position of the first wife of the Zong Mansion.

“No…Bao’er is not dead…Bao’er is not dead…” The third wife suddenly pushed the first wife away and snatched her son back from Zong Ying’s arms, “My son will not die, my son will inherit the Zong family’s business, my son will buy me all kinds of good things. Bao’er promised me that he would only treat me, a woman, well, Bao’er promised, Bao’er promised me…” She held the pale-faced child and sang a ballad, “Baby is good…Baby is sleeping…Baby is waking up…It’s dark…Baby is amused by his mother…laughing…” Shi Yi

, who came over after visiting Sui’er, felt his heart tighten when he saw her like this.

“Third sister, Bao’er has…” The first wife couldn’t bear to say those two words, but the grief on her face was so obvious that everyone understood what she meant.

"Li Muting, you bad woman, don't even think about snatching my son away." The third wife held Bao'er's body and moved to the side. She cried and laughed, "I was so stupid, I was so stupid, what could be more important than accompanying my Bao'er... It's the mother who is stupid, it's the mother who is stupid..."

Behind the first wife, Lianlian's face was panicked for a moment, and her fingers hidden in her sleeves trembled unconsciously. She was really scared, she was really afraid that the third wife would tell the matter.

"Very sad?" Her hand was suddenly grabbed by the first wife. She saw the sneer written on the first wife's face, and she shook it off with an "ah".

"Lianlian, what are you doing! This is the first wife!" The old housekeeper scolded her.

"The young master is dead, Lianlian is really sad. Lianlian is sad and scared." She knelt on the ground, sobbing as if she wanted to raise her head but didn't dare to.

"Don't be hypocritical. You are all bad people, you are all bad people. My Bao'er, my Bao'er, is the only person in the world who will not lie to me." The third wife hugged her son tightly in her arms, her face pressed against the child's face, "Bao'er, it's mom who is sorry for you, it's mom who is sorry for you."

Lianlian suddenly knocked her head to the ground. Because everyone's attention was focused on the heartbroken third wife and the dead young master, no one noticed her abnormality. Except for Shi Yi.

The young master had a fixed daily schedule and was taken care of by a nanny. He would never come out to play alone. But he appeared here alone. Not only did he appear here, he also fell into the water and drowned. He was a child less than five years old, and no one told him where to go, or accompanied him where to go. How did he come to this garden from Qiu Garden alone? The distance is one or two kilometers.

"Bao'er is already dead, what's the point of you being sad here!" Zong Ying looked at her coldly, "You have this little free time, why don't you go and copy some rebirth mantras for Bao'er so that he can be reborn into a safe family in the next life."

Seeing the cold-blooded Zong Ying, the second wife hugged Yuanyuan tightly in her arms.

Yuanyuan didn't really understand the sadness of adults, but she knew that in such an occasion where all the adults in the Zong family were present, she, as a girl, couldn't speak. She stared at the younger brother in the arms of the third wife, and wanted to touch him. The adults said that her younger brother was dead, but she didn't believe it.

Although she and her younger brother were not very close on weekdays, she watched him being born and growing up. She didn't die even though she had such a serious measles, so how could he die? He is Daddy's favorite child.

"Second wife, take the eldest daughter back, so as not to disturb the child's mind." Zong Ying touched Yuanyuan's head when he passed by Lan Maner. This is a good child, he was very happy that she was not led astray by her mother.

The second wife was terrified and nodded hurriedly, "Man'er, take Yuanyuan away immediately."

"Everyone else, go away too." Zong Ying's voice was tired, and he seemed to have aged four or five years in an instant. Everyone knew how much of a blow the young master's death had dealt him.
