Chapter 675: The foot-washing girl wants to take the position (18)

"That's because the Third Madam knows that she is not doing a good job in taking care of the young master

, and she doesn't have the nerve to do so." Zong Ying's voice sank. He had thought of what the little girl said a long time ago. It was because he thought of it that he was disappointed with Wang Linlang. She actually let a nanny take the child out alone, but she didn't know what to do in Qiu Garden!

"Master, the Third Madam didn't hold the nanny responsible. It is very likely that the Third Madam ordered the nanny to take the young master out. But the nanny didn't stay with the young master to serve, don't you have any doubts at all?" Shi Yi's eyes were sharp and didn't look like the eyes of a person of this age.

Zong Ying looked at Wu'er, as if to confirm, "The nanny who has been with the young master for many years is surnamed Su, right?"

Wu'er nodded, "Yes, Nanny Su, she lives in the suburbs. There are no children in the family, only a paralyzed man."

"Is Nanny Su in the mansion now?" Shi Yi looked straight at Wu'er.

Wu'er thought for a few seconds and shook her head, "It's not clear yet."

"Tomorrow, we will find someone to investigate this Su Ma and find out what she was doing when the young master got into trouble." Shi Yi's firm eyes gave Zong Ying a reason to believe her, "Then I will believe you this time."

The bright moon was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and heavy rain fell without warning. Zong Ying picked up the little girl and ran into the house. Wu'er, who was left behind, hesitated for a few seconds and was soaked like a drowned chicken.

"Go back early to wash up and rest." Zong Ying naturally put Shi Yi down. Shi

Yi blushed, "Thank you for your heroic act just now, Master."

"It's just a piece of cake." Zong Ying held his gentlemanly demeanor, lightly raised his hand to brush off the water droplets on his collar, and reminded him, "Remember to drink a bowl of ginger soup before going to bed, so as not to catch a cold."

"Thank you, Master." Shi Yi was respectful on the surface, but he was madly complaining in his heart: This kitchen in the East Courtyard is set up for you alone. I am just a foot washer, how can I ask the kitchen staff to make ginger soup for me.

Zong Ying was still a little happy in his heart. He was happy that he had protected such a weak little girl before, and now seeing her lowering her head and being so well-behaved, he was even more satisfied, "Go back."

"Thank you, Master." Shi Yi turned around and glanced at Wu'er, who was soaked all over, and gestured with his mouth, "Don't catch a cold," and walked towards his room in front of the corridor.

Zong Ying looked at Wu'er meaningfully, "What were you two exchanging glances just now?"

Wu'er touched her rain-soaked hair and whispered, "Master, why are you so nosy?"

Zong Ying suddenly felt that this kid deserved a beating. Why didn't he realize this before?

The next morning, Zong Ying, who had been sad all night, just closed his eyes when he received the bad news reported by the old housekeeper.

"Madame Su is dead." He sneered, "How could she die so coincidentally?"

He just wanted to investigate this Madame Su, and this Madame Su lost her life. He couldn't help but suspect that there was something fishy about Bao'er's death.

"Madame Su was hacked to death by her husband. After hacking her to death, he also committed suicide by taking pills. According to rumors from neighbors, one is that the husband had long been dissatisfied with Madame Su working outside and not being at home to take care of him all year round, so he felt resentful; another is that the husband felt that he was a burden to Madame Su, and he couldn't bear to see Madame Su live alone in this world, so he chose to die together." The old housekeeper hunched over, and his words were quite heavy.

"I know." Zong Ying's face darkened.

The old housekeeper, with his head down, asked about the arrangement of his daughter Sui'er at this time, "Sui'er's illness has almost recovered. I wonder if she can go back to the East Courtyard to serve?"

Zong Ying took a deep look at the old man in front of him, and said evasively, "Sui'er is the apple of your and your wife's eye. The East Courtyard is not short of people to serve for the time being, so let her recuperate. You and your wife will be happy when she recovers."

The old housekeeper did not expect to be rejected by the master. Thinking of the foot-washing girl who frequently appeared beside the master recently, he wondered if the foot-washing girl had said something bad about his daughter in front of the master. He finally replied, "Okay. Thank you for your sympathy, master."

"We are all family." Zong Ying patted his forehead, which was in great pain, and walked towards Qiu Garden.

Wu'er and the old housekeeper behind him hurriedly followed, knowing that the "family" the master was talking about was just a polite remark.

Qiu Garden.

"Bao'er, you missed your mother, right? So, you came to see your mother last night." Wang Linlang was dressed in white, turning around and around in the room.

Overnight, she had a lot of white hair on her forehead.

"Come here." Wu'er pointed to a little maid guarding the door to come over and answer.

"How long has the Third Madam been like this?" Zong Ying's voice was flat without a trace of ups and downs.

"Master, the Third Madam has been like this all night. The Third Madam kept saying that the young master came to see her all night, and we didn't dare to persuade her. We could only wait at the door." The little maid's face was full of sadness, and her eyelids were swollen. I think she was also sad about the death of the young master.

"No need to persuade." Zong Ying looked at Wang Linlang in the room through the window, with a touch of sympathy in his eyes, "Whatever the Third Madam asks, try your best to meet it. Just don't let her leave the gate of Qiuyuan."

"Remember." The little maid buried her head in her shoulder and sobbed softly.

"What's wrong?" Zong Ying raised her chin.

"Master, the Third Madam said that she killed the young master." The little maid bit her lip, as if she had made a huge psychological struggle, and finally said it out loud. At the same time, her tears fell into Zong Ying's palm, swayed a few times, fell out of his palm, and fell to the ground.

"Did the Third Madam really say that?" Zong Ying took a half step back unexpectedly, and his eyes, which were already full of pain, became more complicated.

"On the day when the young master had the accident, Manager Wang came to see the Third Madam." The little maid knelt on the ground.

At this time, Wang Linlang kicked the door open in the room, grabbed her, and beat her up, "You traitor, who asked you to betray me?"

The little maid cried, "Third Madam, please forgive me, please forgive me."

"No wonder you refused to say it." Zong Ying's eyes were so indifferent that he ignored her.

Wang Linlang tightly grasped his legs, "Master, listen to my explanation, it's not like that."

"That's not the case. What's the case? No wonder you asked Su Ma to take Bao'er out. No wonder you didn't think of punishing Su Ma when Bao'er got into trouble. No wonder Su Ma lost her life early in the morning... All these no wonders are because of your Wang family's wolfish ambitions!"
