Chapter 679: The Foot-Washing Maid Wants to Get to the Top (22)
While Li Muting was immersed in the rare tenderness between her husband and herself, she had no idea how her husband felt troubled because of her. In her dream at this moment, everything was beautiful.
The third wife, who was punished to live in the side courtyard, vomited and had diarrhea because of eating unclean food, and lost her life accidentally after heavy bleeding. Zong Ying despised her and didn't want to care about her, so she was hastily buried.
The second wife's affair was discovered by Zong Ying and her. Zong Ying was so angry that he wanted to punish the adulterous couple according to family rules. The eldest daughter Yuanyuan came out to plead for mercy, but was unexpectedly discovered by others that Yuanyuan looked exactly like the adulterer. Zong Ying vomited blood and ordered his servants to punish the two on the spot, and his body was also damaged.
The third and second wives betrayed Zong Ying one after another, and she was the only one who stayed by his side firmly. He finally realized that she, the main wife, was the one who loved him sincerely, and he no longer took concubines or lived alone in the East Courtyard. Soon, they had a beloved child.
The child was born, a boy, healthy and lively. Zong Ying loved him very much and taught him to read and write every day, while she, as a mother, watched them laugh and play every day, watching the father and son grow old and grow up.
There is always a time to wake up from a dream.
She was awakened by Lianlian, and glared at Lianlian fiercely for a few times, then took the clean towel to wash her face and hands. Shi Yi stood aside with a basin of water, lowered his head, and luckily avoided her killing eyes.
"Where is the master." Li Muting rinsed her mouth and looked at Lianlian. Lianlian diligently tidied her hair and said, "The master went out at dawn and told us not to wake you up in advance."
"It's rare that the master has this heart." Li Muting's mouth corners were more genuinely smiling, which made people think of her beauty when she was younger.
The side yard.
It was a mess at this time.
The dishevelled-haired Third Madam Wang Linlang held a pair of scissors in her hands, threatening the servants to leave, and kept shouting that she wanted to attend Baoer's wedding.
"Third Madam, please don't make things difficult for us. The master has ordered that you cannot participate in the funeral of the young master. Moreover, the young master died young. Logically, there should not be a funeral. The master loves the young master so much that he set up a mourning hall and allowed the funeral. If you make such a fuss, the master may not allow the funeral of the young master." The maid who had reported her before had a sincere look on her face, and she really looked sincere.
"Get out of here, get out." The Third Madam pointed the scissors in her hand directly at the maid, with a gleam of hatred in her eyes. If it weren't for this maid, she wouldn't be disliked by Zong Ying.
Yes, it was all because of this maid. If this maid died, then she would... She laughed.
"Third Madam, go back. Don't make trouble anymore." The maid didn't take her madness seriously.
You know, she has been brought by her mother to herd cattle since she was born, and she has been good at managing cattle since she was a child. No matter how stubborn the cattle are, they will only be obedient in her hands. Cows don't have thoughts, let alone people with weaknesses.
"Go to hell." The third wife ran towards the maid with a pair of scissors. The maid didn't avoid it, but grabbed her wrist holding the scissors with one hand, bent her knees and hit her lower abdomen. The third wife groaned in pain, her eyes were full of pride, but the next second, warm blood spurted out of her neck.
"You are buried with my Baoer." The third wife let go of her left hand, and the sharp hairpin was inserted into the maid's neck. She laughed up to the sky.
Not being able to attend her son's funeral was a gift from her as a mother. It's
useless to keep a maid who betrayed her master.
"So... cruel..." The maid covered her bleeding neck and fell to the ground. The servants screamed after realizing it, and the Third Madam disliked their noise and went straight into her room.
What she didn't know was that a trail of blood was winding under her feet.
After the first wife Li Muting learned that the Third Madam had hurt someone and had a miscarriage, she almost laughed out loud in the mourning hall. Fortunately, the Taoist priest's movement was loud enough to cover up her unusual behavior.
When Zong Ying heard the news, his eyebrows were furrowed. He lightly told the old housekeeper to find a doctor for the Third Madam, and then he stopped talking. When
the first wife Li Muting heard his words, she understood that he completely hated Wang Linlang in his heart, and she was overjoyed. When she buried Baoer, she felt a little more sympathy.
After the young master of the Zong family was buried, the mansion had a period of peace again.
These days, Zong Ying stayed in the Spring Garden of the first wife. The servants in the mansion received the signal and showed their goodwill to the first wife. The first wife Li Muting naturally accepted everyone who came.
Not long after her last secret meeting with Jia Lan, the second wife Lan Maner began to vomit and feel nauseous. She secretly found an old woman who knew pulse diagnosis to diagnose her, and she was really pregnant. But the time was still short, so
she couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl. She was overjoyed and rewarded the old woman with a lot of good things.
She was pregnant, and she had to confirm the father of the child. She went to Chunyuan several times to invite Zongying on the pretext that Yuanyuan was not feeling well, but was rejected by Lianlian, who was beside the first wife
. Under desperation, she had to go to the East Courtyard in person, wanting to take Zongying to her own Xiayuan.
She was not greedy, she just wanted Zongying to stay in Xiayuan for one night.
However, she was ridiculed by Lianlian as soon as she arrived in Chunyuan. She wanted to teach this outspoken little maid a lesson, but she saw Li Muting and Zongying coming out side by side.
"Master, first wife." She said hello respectfully.
"What is the second wife doing in my Chunyuan?" Li Muting gave Shiyi a look, and Shiyi hurriedly handed the second wife the prepared hot tea.
Lan Maner is pregnant now, so she is naturally careful. She took the hot tea and placed it on the stone table beside her, then began to wipe her tears and cry about how much Yuanyuan missed her father.
Li Muting was shocked by her acting skills, rubbed her fingers, and watched her performance quietly.
"Didn't Yuanyuan recover from her illness a few days ago!" Zong Ying couldn't bear to see her crying, so he spoke a little more harshly. Li Muting applauded him in her heart, but Lan Maner cried even louder.
"Last time, the eldest lady was worried about her brother and lay in bed for three days and three nights. Maner also stayed with the eldest lady for three days and three nights. This time, the eldest lady fell ill again, and Maner felt uncomfortable, so she had to ask the master for help."
"The master is not a doctor, how can he cure the eldest lady's illness?" Lianlian, at the instruction of the eldest lady, refuted her remarks.
Second wife Lan Maner cried pitifully, "Although the master is not a doctor, he is the person the eldest lady admires the most. Maner thought that if the master went to see the eldest lady and talked to her for a few words, the eldest lady's illness should get better soon."
