Chapter 659: The Foot-Washing Maid Wants to Get Promoted (2)
Outside the door, hearing the laughter coming from the house, Sui'er's face was full of jealousy.
She really couldn't understand what the lady was thinking, to promote a stinky beggar. Wasn't she, Sui'er, more obedient, sensible, and considerate than this stinky beggar?!
The thing that Sui'er couldn't understand was actually very simple. Because Sui'er's father was the old housekeeper of the Zong Mansion, if Sui'er was promoted by Zong Ying, with the help of her father's face, her status would probably be higher than that of the other two ladies.
"Well, since you have to stay in Chunyuan to serve at night, go back and dress up now." The eldest lady touched the rough material of her clothes and frowned in dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with this Li Po? I asked her to make you a few new clothes to change, but why are you still wearing the maid material that Sui'er found for you when you entered the mansion?" Shi Yi
had never seen this so-called Li Po since she entered the mansion, so naturally she didn't get the new clothes that the eldest lady asked her to. But since the master has spoken, whether she has received it or not, she has to accept it. She looked grateful, "Madam, it is my blessing that you can take me in. If you make new clothes for me, Shi Yi is afraid that I will not have this blessing..."
"Look at you, child, it's just a few clothes, why do you need to say whether you are blessed or not." The eldest wife slapped the sofa with her backhand, her eyebrows raised, "It's this Li Po, who has won the favor of the third wife, and she doesn't even listen to me, the wife of the main room."
This is her real purpose, to make herself hate the third wife. Shi Yi had a plan in her mind, and immediately said indignantly, "Li Po is really too much."
The current eldest wife has not sent herself to Zong Ying to serve. If she said bad things about other wives in this backyard, it is possible that someone would hear it. If she heard it, her life would be in danger.
In this backyard, there is only respect and inferiority. It is legal for the master to beat and kill the servants, and it is really difficult for the servants to live. Shi Yi couldn't help but sigh a little.
The eldest wife didn't expect that she had such a plan. She looked up to her and didn't mention the making of clothes. She raised her hand and said that she was tired and wanted to take a nap, and asked her to borrow some nice clothes from Sui'er.
The eldest wife knew that she and Sui'er were not on good terms, but she still asked her to borrow clothes from Sui'er, which seemed to be a way to provoke the conflict between her and Sui'er. At the same time, it was also a test of her ability to convince Sui'er to complete the matter of borrowing clothes. Shi
Yi walked on the road, thinking about how to do the matter of borrowing clothes well and not lose dignity. Because she was thinking about this matter all the time, she didn't notice the tall and strong man walking towards her.
Wu'er wanted to scold this little maid who was disrespectful to her superiors, but saw Zong Ying raised his hand to signal not to talk too much, and followed the master silently, lowered his head, and felt that there was still a lot for this personal servant to learn.
"It hurts so much." Shi Yi touched his forehead and looked up to see what he had bumped into, only to see Zong Ying himself with a cold face.
In fact, calling Zong Ying "Master" really makes him old. He was just eighteen years old when he got married, and ten years later, he is only twenty-eight. He took over the Zong family's rice business at a young age, so he always looks very majestic with a serious face. Because of his ruthless methods in the business world, he was even known as the "King of Death". In fact, his face is more handsome than the movie stars that are sought after by all the rich ladies.
It was the first time that Zong Ying met such a bold girl, and she just lost her mind in front of him. She wanted to continue to scare her, but changed her mind.
When the big palm covered Shi Yi's forehead, she was still a little confused, and didn't understand what this King of Death was going to do. Especially, this is a big garden, and there are maids and servants coming and going. If she was caught in his "intimacy" with her, she would never be able to clear herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River, and she would definitely be regarded as a living target by the wives of the third room.
She immediately took a step back, knelt on the ground, and buried her head deeply to apologize, "It's Shiyi's fault, it's Shiyi's fault, I didn't walk carefully and bumped into the master."
Zong Ying didn't miss the changes in her eyes. He had a little bad taste and helped the little girl up personally, "Look at what you said, it was obviously you who threw yourself into his arms, how did it become like this."
"Throw yourself into his arms?" If the wife of the third room knew this, she would definitely be beaten to death. Shiyi's face turned pale for a moment, but when she saw the bad taste in his eyes, she calmed down, "Anyway, it's all Shiyi's fault, please forgive me, master." As she said that, she was about to kneel down again.
But Zong Ying shook off her hand and walked away.
Zong Ying remembered clearly that this girl was picked up by the eldest wife to serve her, and she had said a few words to him yesterday. It seemed that she was a little clever, and the valuable thing was that this little cleverness was not annoying. He just happened to be in need of a foot-washing girl, so he could just ask the eldest wife for one.
"Is this forgiving yourself?" Shi Yi was confused, but she was sure that Zong Ying himself was not as terrible as the legend said.
At noon, Shi Yi had not even had a chance to talk to Sui'er, and she was summoned to Chunyuan by the eldest wife again.
She stood carefully on the Persian carpet carefully selected by the eldest wife, accepting the eldest wife's X-ray-like scrutiny of her from top to bottom, inside and out.
"This is the first time that the master has asked for a maid to serve me. You are so lucky." The eldest wife spoke when Shi Yi's legs were sore from standing. Shi Yi was half happy and half alert when she heard her words. Fortunately, she kept her head down, so the emotions in her eyes could not be seen by the eldest wife.
"I picked you up, and I gave you the name. It's rare that we have such a fate. I'm happy that you can serve the master." The eldest wife raised her hand to take the dressing box handed over by Sui'er. She opened it in front of Sui'er and Shiyi. It was full of all kinds of rare treasures. She spoke gently, "Pick one. Consider it a gift from me, the mistress, to you."
Shiyi saw the bright red agate bracelet in the dressing box at a glance. If she remembered correctly, the eldest wife soaked the infertility drug into the bracelet. People who wear it for a long time will gradually lose their fertility.
"Good vision. This is the dowry my mother chose for me. Since you like it, wear it." The eldest wife took Shiyi's hand without giving her permission and put it on her personally.
Sui Er was also attracted by the red agate bracelet at first sight. She was jealous that she could get it, and said in a veiled way, "It's only because Madam is so kind that she cares about you. You must wear this bracelet every day in the future to show our Madam's grace."
