Chapter 661: The Foot-Washing Girl Wants to Get the Top Job (4)
"Master, I don't dare." Shi Yi lowered her eyelashes, and her thick eyelashes formed a door curtain, blocking the two from looking at each other.
"I don't think you are so timid." Zong Ying has never been a man who likes to force women. Since she didn't want to, he let go of her hand and said, "Wash my feet." Fearing that the little girl would not understand her identity, he deliberately added, "From now on, your only job in the East Courtyard is to wash my feet every day."
It is true that money can make the devil work. Facing her current master, who is also the big boss that the whole backyard needs to please, Shi Yi has no reason to refuse. She nodded obediently, "I understand."
The water was already ready. She half squatted down and tested the water temperature first, then hugged Zong Ying's legs and entered the wooden barrel. In order to truly relax the master, she immersed her hands in the warm water and massaged the acupuncture points on his feet.
Zong Ying was already tired after a day of work, and after talking to her, he gradually became sleepy under her massage. In the end, he was so sleepy that he closed his eyes. Shi Yi dried his feet, massaged his shoulders, covered him with a quilt, and then carefully retreated.
Wu'er, who was on night watch, saw her come out, but didn't speak to her, because he was still thinking about the image of the big rat with a miserable death.
"Brother Wu'er, the master has gone to bed, I'll go back." Shi Yi greeted him warmly.
Wu'er is the closest servant to Zong Ying, and also his follower. It's right to have a good relationship with him. Moreover, Wu'er is worth making friends with. Although he looks cold, he is actually soft-hearted.
Wu'er was a little hesitant. The master asked this little girl to wash his feet, but the master didn't say whether she had to keep watch. Besides, the master is asleep now, and he can't go in and wake the master up just to ask about this matter. He touched his bun with some annoyance, and finally watched Shi Yi leave here.
Zong Ying woke up and saw Wu'er standing by his bed. He was shocked and rubbed his temples before calming down.
"Master, why did you sleep so long today?" Before he could start scolding Wu'er, Wu'er asked him the reason first.
"Where's the little girl?" Zong Ying walked out while getting dressed.
Over the years, he has kept the secret of his insomnia very well hidden, and even his third wife didn't know. But last night, he actually fell asleep in front of a little girl, which was really strange.
"Shi Yi? She's in her room." Wu'er followed him outside, not understanding why the master suddenly asked about the little girl.
"Remember to urge her to come and serve every night in the future." When Zong Ying raised his foot to leave the yard, he thought about it and turned to Xia Garden again. That was where his second wife lived.
"Remember." Wu'er followed him closely, and after thinking about it, she hid the problem in her heart.
Although there are not many servants serving in the East Courtyard, one can replace three, which is enough. It doesn't matter if this little girl stays in the East Courtyard and does nothing. Besides, Wu'er is actually a very compassionate person. Otherwise, he would not have specially sent someone to clean up the place where Shi Yi lived yesterday. He remembered that the little girl was born a beggar, and he knew that she had suffered a lot, so he did not want to embarrass her.
Summer Garden.
"Master, I thought you had forgotten Yuan'er." The second wife leaned on Zong Ying's arm softly. Zong Ying patted her head and said gently, "I can forget you no matter who I forget."
The second wife concealed her surprise. She really did not expect Zong Ying to come to her Summer Garden so early in the morning. After all, she just heard yesterday that he fell in love with a girl from the first wife.
"Master, you should be good to Yuan'er." The second wife winked at the nanny, motioning her to bring her daughter over quickly.
"If I'm not good to you, who can I be good to?" Zong Ying saw her little action, and specially carried her to sit on the sofa, feeding her a few crystal grapes to show his love for her.
"Yuanyuan, look, who's here?" The nanny brought the child over, and the second wife immediately held it in front of Zong Ying, teasing, "Master, look, this child's eyebrows and eyes are so similar to yours, especially the mouth, it's like they were carved from the same mold as yours."
The little girl looked at Zong Ying shyly, and immediately stepped aside. Her mouth moved but no sound came out.
Zong Ying took a look and looked away, agreeing, "Yes. It's because of Yuan'er that I have such a lovely baby daughter."
"Master, you are estranged from me. It is Yuan'er's responsibility to give birth to children for you." She leaned against Zong Ying's arms with the child in her arms, and Zong Ying hugged them back. To outsiders, it really looked like a happy family.
After holding her for a long time, the second wife reluctantly got up from Zong Ying's arms and said considerately, "Master, you still have business matters to deal with. Go quickly and don't delay."
"Yuan'er is so considerate. Yuanyuan is also cute." Zong Ying stretched out his hand and scratched the nose of the reserved little girl, and kissed the top of the second wife's head before leaving. As soon as
Zong Ying left, the second wife immediately asked the nanny to take her daughter away.
She saw clearly that Zong Ying was perfunctory to her. It was because her belly was not good enough and gave birth to a girl, otherwise there would be no third wife. She angrily thought of the little bitch in Qiuyuan. Because she gave birth to a son, she wanted to be better than her in everything and get ahead of her in everything. It was really infuriating.
"Bring my medicine." She stood up and stood by the window, but calmed down.
She was only in her early twenties, at the right time of her youth. If she took good care of her body, she would get pregnant with a second child. When she gave birth to a son, she wanted to see if the third room dared to put on airs again.
Shi Yi found that the days in the East Courtyard were like a fairy life. During the day, someone delivered three meals a day, and no one told her to do anything. Zong Ying and Wu Er were also out busy with business, so she didn't have to deal with them. At night, she could wash Zong Ying's feet, brush up her presence, and then go back to her room to sleep. It was so relaxing.
No longer cautious as in the past few days, the sun was good today. She packed herself up peacefully, took a small shovel and went to the garden in the yard to loosen the soil. In name, it was loosening the soil, but in fact, she liked the mint growing in the garden and wanted to pick them all to make a cold dish.
"Busy?" Sui Er, who "accidentally" passed by, walked up to her.
Shi Yi thought it was someone in the yard, and without turning her head, she said, "Of course, there are so many weeds, it's time to clean them up."
In order to hide her little thoughts, she even deliberately mixed the mint she picked with the weeds.
