The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 692: The Foot-Washing Maid Wants to Get the Top Position (35)
Sui'er got up early and saw Shi Yi standing at the door of her room. Thinking of what she saw last night, she hated her so much that her teeth itched. Naturally, her face was not in a good mood, "What are you doing here?"
"Sister Sui'er, the master asked me to pick you up and take you to the East Courtyard to serve." Shi Yi was very humble.
"I thought you were the boss of this family." Sui'er was upset and didn't want to give her a good face.
Shi Yi naturally understood the reason for her attitude, and did not explain, just said, "The master said that the yard is a bit messy, and he wants Sister Sui'er to take care of it."
When Sui'er heard that this was the master's intention, she immediately changed her temper, "Since the master said so, then I will go reluctantly."
"Sister Sui'er is still reasonable." Shi Yi followed her like a little follower, and the two returned to the East Courtyard together.
Zong Ying felt that today was the worst day since he could remember.
When he went to inspect the rice shop, dozens of people actually rushed into the rice shop and said that there was something wrong with his rice. A pregnant woman rushed to him without caring about her life and asked him to seek justice. He finally calmed them down, and the police came over.
After finally using his connections, he came out of the police station and saw his newly promoted manager entering the police station. After asking around, he heard that the manager had molested a young woman who was buying rice.
According to his understanding of the manager, he was a very upright person, and his wife was also very decent. It was impossible for her to do such a thing.
He returned to the clan mansion with a lot on his mind, and was told by Sui'er that the second wife in the side courtyard had an accident, and the baby in her belly might not be saved.
He finally couldn't hold back his anger, and he got angry at the maids in the side courtyard.
"Master, the second wife's life is important." Upon learning that Lan Man'er was in trouble, the eldest wife Li Muting hurried over and blocked him.
The maids who had bowed their heads deeply finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her words, and they were a little grateful for her kindness.
"What did Doctor Ma say?" Zong Ying looked at his first wife. Li Muting had just learned about this and didn't know the specific situation of Lan Maner. She shook her head in panic, "I just learned from Lianlian that she was in trouble, and I haven't learned the specific situation yet."
"Where is she now?" Zong Ying looked at the nanny in the yard, and Nanny Cai immediately pointed to the room in the corner.
Miss Yuanyuan had already been guarding Lan Maner. When she heard Zong Ying's scolding in the yard, she thought that her father still had some friendship with her mother, and tears quickly fell from her eyes.
Ma Jingyang and Shi Yi, who were guarding Lan Maner, were amazed at her change of expression.
The two looked at each other silently, lowered their heads tacitly, and pretended not to see it.
"Doctor Ma, is the second wife in good health?" Zong Ying stepped into the gray and moldy house and subconsciously looked at Shi Yi, who was standing upright.
"The child can't be saved." Ma Jingyang gave him an affirmative reply.
In fact, Ma Jingyang smelled the scent of aphrodisiac incense when he came to Zong Mansion last time, and he wanted to tell Zong Ying that there might be something wrong with the child. But the situation was too embarrassing at the time, and he was too embarrassed to say it.
If this aphrodisiac incense is used for the first time, it will increase the person's sexual desire, and it will naturally not cause great harm to the woman's body. If the woman is pregnant and uses this aphrodisiac incense, it is another matter. The child is very likely to not be able to give birth safely, and even if it is safe, it is very likely to be weak.
The second wife used aphrodisiac incense when she was pregnant, which had a bad effect on the child. Now she has eaten poisonous food. Fortunately, his medical skills are so good that he saved the adult's life. Otherwise, both the adult and the child would die.
Zong Ying's expression did not change. He kept Lan Maner in the mansion, first because he felt sorry for her pregnancy, and second because of his daughter Yuanyuan. Now that Lan Maner has no illegitimate offspring, he has no reason to continue to take her in.
"When Lan Man'er recovers, leave the house." He glanced at the frail woman on the bed.
"Daddy, can't you leave mother in the house?" Yuanyuan hugged his hand and begged with her head raised, "I am the only daughter of mother."
Zong Ying's big palm fell on his daughter's head, wanting to say something to comfort her, but he knew that no matter how many words of comfort, it would be useless. He had already made up his mind.
He had already been merciful by not putting a woman who cheated on him into a pig cage. Since
Lan Man'er woke up, she had been staring at the mosquito net with her eyes open.
She was in pain, and she was also repenting.
Everyone present might not understand why she was poisoned, but she herself knew it.
She was afraid that others would poison her food, so she would try it with her hidden silver needle every time, but she had never tried the cakes given by her daughter.
Maybe God wanted her to suffer more, so when she ate pea yellow, she thought of her daughter's rare filial piety, so she only ate two pieces. She didn't die, but she lost the child in her belly that everyone hated.
"The other things will be handled by the first wife, Shiyi, come with me." Zong Ying didn't want to see Lan Maner again, so he pulled Shiyi's wrist and left.
Li Muting gave Lianlian a look, and Lianlian immediately gave the prepared consultation fee to Ma Jingyang.
Ma Jingyang handed the prescription for Lan Maner's body conditioning to his young man, and the young man stuffed the prescription into Lianlian's palm. This is not a valuable prescription, so there is no need to hide it.
"Thanks to Doctor Ma's timely arrival, the patient's life was saved. Doctor Ma is really hard-working." Li Muting nodded deeply.
In fact, she is quite satisfied with the current situation.
Lan Maner's scandal completely disgusted the master, but the fact that Lan Maner gave birth to the eldest lady for the master cannot be erased. If Lan Maner died, then as time goes by, the master may still remember Lan Maner's past kindness, and may be twice as good to the eldest lady. However, if Lan Maner is alive, the eldest lady will always bear the private reputation of being the mother of an affair. Every time the master sees the eldest lady, he will think of the things Lan Maner has done. Then the eldest lady and Lan Maner will become thorns in the master's heart.
"It's not hard." Ma Jingyang bowed and walked out with his medicine box.
Perhaps because of the hard life since childhood, he has been treated with cold eyes a lot, and his understanding of human relationships is deeper than others. He saw through the restless heart under the gentle appearance of the first wife at a glance. He could see that the first wife was very satisfied with the current situation of the second wife.
It was precisely because of his insight that he felt even more sympathy for Zong Ying.
