Chapter 700 The Foot-Washing Girl Wants to Get Promoted (43)

Lianlian walked towards her dormitory with trepidation. Halfway through the journey, a white shadow suddenly flashed before her eyes.

She took a big step back in fear, thinking that she had seen it wrong. She took a few more steps forward with courage, but then the white shadow became clearer. It was a little kid of four or five years old, making faces at her as he ran past.

Lianlian suddenly thought of the young master who had been pushed into the river by her and drowned. Her legs went weak and she fell on a sharp rock, stabbing her kneecap.

The distance between the white shadow and her was getting closer and closer. She screamed in fear, "Help, help, help, there's a G, there's a G..."

The white shadow suddenly came in front of her. It was the young master Baoer, but his face was pale, his eyes were red, and his voice was thin and long, "Sister Lianlian, you've made me suffer so much."

"Ah...ah...ah..." Lianlian didn't care about anything else and could only scream. She wanted to crawl forward and get away from Bai Ying, but her legs seemed to be filled with lead and she couldn't move at all.

"Sister Lianlian, why do you want to hurt me?" Bai Ying stretched out his red tongue and tried to lick her.

Lianlian waved her arms wildly and screamed, "Don't touch me, don't touch me, I don't want to hurt you... It's not me who wants to hurt you... It's all the eldest wife... It's all the eldest wife who wants to hurt you..."

Behind the rockery, Zong Ying and Wu'er, who had been hiding in advance, walked out.

Bai Ying took off his cloak, revealing the dark black clothes inside, and stood to the side. He was originally a street juggler, and the guests paid a high price to invite him here to perform. After the show, he had nothing to do.

Zong Ying looked at her gloomily, "Lianlian, do you know that if you wrongly accuse your master, your legs will be broken and you will be driven out of the house."

Lianlian felt much more at ease when she saw a living person.

Although she was not a good person since she was a child, she had never done anything to kill anyone. Killing Bao'er was a huge stone weighing on her heart. As long as it was not known, she would always be under pressure. Now that the master and everyone else knew about it, she felt relieved.

She cried and shouted at him, "I really didn't mean to do it. The eldest wife asked me to do it."

The eldest wife. This was just a guess in Zong Ying's mind. It was confirmed at this moment, and he felt indescribable in his heart.

He should have gone to bed by now, but he saw the letter that Shi Yi left for him, which said that if he wanted to know the truth, he must come here. He was curious about the incident and the truth, so he brought Wu'er here, but he didn't expect...

Li Muting, this time really touched his bottom line.

"Take Lianlian away and lock her up."

"Yes."

At dawn, the eldest wife Li Muting, who had a nightmare all night, summoned her personal maid Lianlian. After calling her several times but not seeing anyone, she couldn't help but get angry, "Where has this bitch been? I haven't seen anyone at this time."

"Where are the others? Come and tell me where Lianlian went." Li Muting raised her voice, and the maid who served in the yard ran in and whispered, "Madam, Sister Lianlian didn't go back to her residence last night. We all thought she stayed in your room."

"Didn't go back to her residence?" Li Muting fiddled with her nails, frowned her unpainted eyebrows, and said, "Then did you see her today?"

"No." The maid shook her head.

"Go down." Li Muting's right eyelid suddenly jumped, and a bad feeling surged in her heart.

Maybe the good things didn't work, and the bad things worked. As soon as she finished washing and dressing, Zong Ying brought Lianlian to her yard.

Looking at Lianlian's appearance, it seemed that she had already testified against everything she had done.

But what does this have to do with her? Lianlian is just a maid, but she is the eldest lady of this Zongfu, the mistress of this Zongfu.

"Do you have any explanation for what you did?" Zong Ying did not look at her, but his eyes fell on his feet. He was actually avoiding this matter. He did not want to make things so ugly with Li Muting. After all, they were a young couple, and they knew how to save face for each other.

"Master, you brought Lianlian here early in the morning, just to say this?" Li Muting raised her eyebrows. She bet that Zong Ying still had a place for her in his heart, otherwise he would not have brought Lianlian here alone.

"Li Muting, be serious."

"Master, am I not serious enough? I am already very serious." Li Muting looked at him and blinked her eyebrows. "Master, do you think my makeup today looks like a woman in her thirties?" Zong

Ying quickly glanced at her and it was indeed very similar.

I don't know when, her dress became more and more old-fashioned, giving people a feeling of depression and calmness. If you count carefully, she is only 28 years old this year, and she is not a real middle-aged woman.

"Master, do you know how much I have paid for this family? Do you know all the interpersonal relationships, servants' expenses, and all the expenses in the mansion? Do you know that in order to go out for social activities, I need to dress myself up old every time so that others will believe in our Zong family..."

Zong Ying raised his hand to interrupt her, "I see all your efforts. That's why I have always tolerated you doing these little tricks in the backyard. You should never do anything to Baoer, a child. He is only four years old, so young, how could you have the heart to offend him."

"How could I bear it?" Li Muting pushed away the rouge box at hand, "How could I bear it? Master, you ask me this question? I tell you, all this is forced by you."

"I forced it?" Zong Ying pointed at herself in disbelief, "What did I force you to do? I am busy with business outside every day, and I have never troubled you when I come home. I always trust and respect you as my wife. Tell me, what did I force you to do?"

"Master, do you still think you haven't forced me?" Li Muting smiled bitterly, "Do you think these are enough for a woman? I am a living person, a person with aspirations. You go out early and come back late every day. When you return to the Zong Mansion, you either stay in your own east courtyard or go to see the second and third wives. As for me, you always use my poor health as an excuse to shirk. Master, have you ever thought about whether you really respect me?"

"I..." Zong Ying's tone changed, "Don't confuse my and your affairs with Baoer's death!"

"Master, don't you want an explanation? Then I will give you this explanation today." Under his gaze, Li Muting picked up the scissors and stabbed herself. Zong Ying rushed over and grabbed the scissors without thinking, and threw them aside, "What are you going to do!"

"I harmed Baoer, and I will compensate him with my life." Li Muting turned around, picked up the wooden hairpin and stabbed herself in the neck.
