Chapter 691: The Foot-Washing Girl Wants to Get Promoted (34)

Zong Ying has been busy dealing with business competition these days, and he returns to the East Courtyard after midnight every night.

The eldest wife, Li Muting, cannot help him with business matters. Because of the old housekeeper's previous account fraud, he has also lost trust in the old housekeeper. He and Wu'er go out early and come back late every day, and all the pressure is on himself.

Although the pressure is great, what always makes him feel at ease is that Shi Yi, the little girl, always calculates the time to pour the foot-washing water and waits for him, as if they are in tune with each other.

"Master, wipe your hands first." Shi Yi held his big palm and gently wiped every part of his skin with a wrung towel of moderate temperature, and massaged the sore parts of his hands from time to time.

Zong Ying leaned against the bed, closed his eyes and rested, quietly enjoying this rare moment of peace.

Sometimes, he couldn't find the goal of his efforts. The concept passed down by his father's generation is that he should inherit the family business and promote it. Of course, the wealth accumulated by the Zong family is enough for him to live without food and drink for two lifetimes. So far, he has no son to inherit the family property, and his daughter Yuanyuan has grown up and been sent away, so this family is like this. What is the point of him making more money and buying more land?

He is also glad that he has a lot of money and can keep the little girl by his side.

Although he doesn't understand what the little girl wants, he is glad that he is a rich man, and a rich man with status and position. The age difference between the little girl and him can be slightly compensated by money.

The little girl is not mature yet, and he is sometimes moved. Although he endures it with pain, he is not in a hurry. Because, what is worth waiting for is always the best. He believes that the little girl will be the best he has waited for.

"Master, Sister Sui'er said she wants to return to our East Court to continue serving and continue to be the housekeeper of the East Court. What do you think?" Shi Yi saw that he was relaxed all over, and proposed to agree to Sui'er's request at the right time.

Zong Ying opened his eyes and looked at her straight, "Are you willing in your heart?"

Shi Yi put the handkerchief back into the basin, and said softly, "Sister Sui'er is an elder in the mansion. She is considerate and comes to the East Courtyard to serve you. It makes people feel at ease."

"I don't want to listen to high-sounding words." Zong Ying held her hand, held her in his arms, and looked down at her, "Don't be so distant between you and me. I just want to understand your true thoughts."

"It's good for Sister Sui'er to come to the East Courtyard." Shi Yi looked up at him, the candlelight reflecting the gentleness of her eyes like the twinkling starry sky, "The master asked me to come to the East Courtyard from the eldest wife, and there has been a lot of gossip in the mansion. With Sister Sui'er coming back to the East Courtyard, there will be fewer suspicions about the things between the master and me."

"Let those people go away." Zong Ying leaned over and kissed her lips, saying domineeringly, "How can others interfere in the matter between you and me? Besides, I asked you to serve in the East Courtyard because I liked you. Are you tired of me, an old man, so you want to cut off your relationship with me?" After saying that, he pitifully nudged her neck, like a large dog acting coquettishly, making people feel itchy and warm.

Shi Yi put one hand around his neck and stared at his handsome face without saying a word.

Zong Ying was expressing his emotions directly, telling her that he was jealous of her. Otherwise, he, a young man, would not have called himself an "old man" in a wronged manner.

Zong Ying seemed to really start to like her.

This was what she had always expected.

"Why do you look at me like that?" Before Zong Ying could ask why, she was drowned by the fanatical chatter. He blinked a few times and then slowly closed his eyes.

On her, he seemed to have found the passion he had when he was fifteen or sixteen years old. He held her waist with his big hands, and exchanged saliva in each other's mouths tirelessly, not letting her rest for a moment.

He was a little afraid, afraid to open his eyes and find that this was just a dream.

"Master, as long as you love Shiyi, Shiyi will do anything..." In the interval between breaths, she was stopped again before she finished her sentence.

"Don't talk, focus on the present." Zong Ying covered her eyes, held her lips and sucked carefully.

How he wished that time could stay at this moment forever.

Because he felt that he was truly loved, needed, and eagerly expected.

Sui'er, who was peeking outside the door, clenched her fists.

She knew that Shiyi, this bitch, had stolen the master's heart a long time ago. Tonight, she ran over to observe, and she really saw this passionate scene.

When she was serving in the Spring Garden of the eldest wife, there was no such passion between the master and the eldest wife. The master rarely went to the other two wives' places, and rarely stayed overnight when he went.

Now that she thought about it, Shi Yi was the one she really needed to be wary of.

If a little beggar could become the fourth wife of the clan, where would she, the daughter of the housekeeper, put her face? Maybe, she would have to live by the face of Shi Yi, the fourth wife, in the future.

Wu'er, who had been quietly guarding in the dark corner, saw Sui'er leave the East Courtyard, and then he closed the door for the two people in the room considerately.

He didn't know what Shi Yi was going to do, but since she asked him, he would definitely help her deal with the matter. As

Sui'er walked on the road, she became more and more angry, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't let herself hold back her anger. She was originally planning to go home, but she hesitated for a moment between the two paths in front of her, and finally chose the deepest and darkest one.

She was going to tell the eldest wife now that Shi Yi had seduced the master in the East Courtyard. The eldest wife would certainly not let Shi Yi, the little bitch, continue to stay by the master's side to serve. At that time, she would be left alone in the East Courtyard to serve, and she would have a chance.

The eldest wife, Li Muting, understood what she had thought of just by listening to her words. However, Li Muting was willing to give her this face, and she angrily rebuked Shi Yi, the foot-washing girl, for being so ungrateful.

Seeing the eldest wife's attitude, Sui'er knew that Shi Yi would definitely have a hard time in the future, and she felt much happier.

After she left, Lianlian helped the eldest wife to undress and go to bed, and asked her how she was going to deal with Shi Yi.

The eldest wife blew out the candle and said indifferently, "The master is just fresh in the moment to Shi Yi, so we just need to live a good life behind closed doors."

"Then let her ride on your head?" Lianlian said carefully.

"Ride on my head?" Li Muting took out the sachet under the pillow and took a deep sniff. Her expression in the dark was hard to read, "No one is good forever, and no flower is red forever. How long she can be so glorious, we'll just have to wait and see."

In the main family's backyard, the third wife, who was once the most flamboyant and the most threatening to her, finally fell.
