Chapter 694: The foot-washing girl wants to take the position (37)

How could Yuanyuan not understand what Aunt Zhang understood?

"Miss..."

"I'm fine." Yuanyuan wiped her tears, took out a silk handkerchief to clean the blood on her mother's neck, and gently pulled the collar to cover the wound. With

her mother dead, all her love and hatred had no place to rest. Now, she had to live for herself wholeheartedly.

When Zong Ying heard the news of Lan Maner's suicide, he didn't even want to investigate, and directly ordered Lianlian to let the eldest wife solve the matter herself.

The eldest wife, Li Muting, felt much more comfortable. No matter what, the master still trusted her. Then, she was the real mistress of the Zong family.

Isn't Wang Linlang still staying in this side courtyard? Then she would go and take a look at this woman who used to be so powerful, and tell her about Lan Maner.

Li Muting originally planned to go in and reminisce with Wang Linlang, but Aunt Cai and Aunt Li stopped her.

"Madam, the Third Madam has gone crazy. She talks nonsense all day long and sometimes even bites people. You will get hurt if you go in."

"Talking nonsense? Biting people?" Li Muting looked at the two old maids and asked in surprise, "Didn't the master tell you to serve the Third Madam well? Why is the Third Madam like this now?!"

Madam Cai heard that there was no deep blame in her voice, and she thought for a moment and replied, "Since the Third Madam lost the young master, she has had nightmares all night, and then she said that the young master came to see her. Gradually, the Third Madam went crazy. We servants wanted to serve her, but we didn't dare to bully the Third Madam. Later, the Third Madam became more and more crazy and fierce. No one dared to approach her."

"Is she really crazy?" Lianlian understood with just one look from Li Muting. Lianlian snatched the key from Madam Cai's waist, opened the lock, and pushed the door open a little.

The ragged, dishevelled woman, holding a doll that was so dirty that it was unrecognizable, muttered to herself, shaking her head from time to time. When she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, she looked over in confusion, grinning at everyone with her black teeth, "Are you here to play with my baby too?"

Really crazy. Really crazy.

Li Muting was certain in her heart.

Wang Linlang was born in a wealthy family, and she loved cleanliness and tidiness. If she hadn't been crazy, she would never have been able to tolerate such a dirty and messy environment. The spider webs in the room were woven layer by layer, and there were moldy steamed buns next to the clothes piled on the bed. It was obvious how sloppy the people living in it were.

"Lock the door." Li Muting raised her foot and walked down the stairs.

Thinking about the woman who hated her so much at the beginning, now one is dead and the other is crazy, the backyard of the Zong family is completely under her control again.

Shi Yi, the foot-washing girl, is just a jumping clown. She has plenty of time to wait and see her being rejected by the master.

Some high-sounding words still need to be said. Before leaving the side courtyard, Li Muting instructed several old maids, "Third Madam, please take care of her. After all, she is still the third madam of this mansion, so you should pay attention to her. Clean up her room. Otherwise, the master will come and see you and blame you." "

Thank you, Madam, for your advice. Thank you, Madam, for your advice." Several old maids nodded and accepted the silver that Lianlian stuffed into her sleeves.

Zong Ying was awakened by Wu'er early in the morning.

The pregnant woman who rushed to him yesterday died this morning. Her family believed that she had suffered misfortune because she ate the rice in the rice shop, so they carried the body to the main gate of the Zong family and asked the Zong family to give an explanation.

"Don't worry, don't squeeze. Our master will come out soon." The old housekeeper maintained order at the main gate, and several young and strong servants guarded the door tightly to prevent these people from breaking in.

"Master Zong is coming out, Master Zong is coming out." The sharp-eyed people saw the door open and immediately shouted.

The husband of the pregnant woman who died immediately pushed through the crowd and rushed forward, his eyes red and he looked as if he was going to grab him by the collar and make him pay for his dead wife's life.

Wu'er stood in front of Zong Ying and pushed him down, "If there is a problem, solve it, don't touch our master."

"Give me back my wife's life. Give me back my son's life. Your Zong family rice shop is unscrupulous and sells black-hearted rice. The day before yesterday, my wife had diarrhea because she ate your rice. Yesterday, I asked your Zong family to be responsible, but you sent us away hastily. Today, my wife is dead and two lives have been lost. If your Zong family doesn't give an explanation, I, Wang Qiyun, will sit at the gate of your Zong family and won't leave." The man threw himself in front of the corpse covered with a white cloth and cried loudly, his words clear enough for everyone to hear.

"It is my clan's responsibility, I, Zong Ying, will never shirk my responsibility. My fellow villagers have seen my character, and I will not ignore this matter. Please leave all those who are not related." Zong Ying bowed, and the people who were watching the excitement whispered a few words to each other and dispersed in twos and threes.

Wang Qiyun did not expect that Zong Ying would call the others away as soon as he appeared. He raised his hand and grabbed the trouser leg of his uncle who was about to leave, and said pitifully, "Fellow villagers, you can't leave. If you leave, what will happen if the Zong family bullies you? I, Wang Qiyun, have no power and influence, and I will be bullied to death by the Zong family."

"Uncle, you go first." Zong Ying looked at the panicked man in his fifties and assured him, "Don't worry, I, Zong Ying, won't be that kind of person."

Wang Qiyun's hands were empty, and he turned to Zong Ying angrily and shouted, "Master Zong is bullying us, Master Zong is bullying us. The three of us in my Wang family ate the rice from Zong's rice shop, and my wife and child died. Is there any justice in the world?"

Zong Ying waved his hand to let the servants go away, looked at this somewhat rogue man, and said in a low voice, "What are your conditions? "Speak now."

Wang Qiyun rolled his eyes and continued to howl, "The Zong family wants to use money to settle the lives of two people in my family. Is there any justice in the world? What do I need money for? I just want the lives of my wife and child. My Wang family has been a single-line family for three generations. I have spent so much effort for this son."

Zong Ying saw that he looked like someone was behind him, and it would be difficult to move him by negotiating terms, so he had to reason with the man, "What is the basis for your judgment that there is something wrong with my Zong family's rice that caused your wife to die?"

"My wife loves to eat your Zong family's rice the most. These days, your Zong family rice has been on sale, and my wife bought a lot of it. She is pregnant and has always avoided eating anything, and only ate your Zong family's rice. She is in trouble now, it is definitely because there is something wrong with your Zong family's rice!"

Zong Ying didn't expect that his well-intentioned promotional activity would lead to such a thing, and he felt very uncomfortable. However, the matter has already happened, and it still needs to be resolved.

He reached out and helped the man up. "It's embarrassing for both of us in public. Let's go inside and talk."
