Chapter 682: The girl who washes her feet wants to take the top position (25)
Zong Ying dismissed other irrelevant people and stayed in the room with Yuanyuan, together with his first wife Li Muting, to talk quietly for a long time.
While he was talking to Yuanyuan, Li Muting's eyes carefully patrolled the room. She was not looking for anything, but it was a habit when she was in a new environment. She seemed to have seen something very unexpected, her eyes stopped for a moment, and then quickly moved away. Later, she repeated this action one or two times.
"Are you feeling better?" Zong Ying patted Yuanyuan's little hand and said gently, "If you are not feeling well, you must tell the adults the truth."
"I feel much better." Yuanyuan had never thought that she could receive such gentleness from her father. She was flattered and satisfied.
"If you feel much better, go to sleep obediently and wait for Doctor Ma Jingyang to come and diagnose you. If you are sick, we should take medicine, but we can't hide our illness and avoid seeing a doctor." Zong Ying tapped her little nose.
"Thank you, Daddy." Yuanyuan obediently tucked her head into the quilt.
"What a good child. Daddy will go and take care of things first. He will come to see you when he is free." Zong Ying gave the first wife a look. The first wife, Li Muting, came up and gently told Yuanyuan a few words.
"The child is young, pay more attention to her." Zong Ying stepped out of the door and then took it back. He looked at the second wife, Lan Maner, and warned, "Next time, don't let this happen again. If the eldest lady misses me, you can bring her to see me."
"Master, Maner knows." She lowered her head, afraid that he would see her guilty conscience.
She eavesdropped on their conversation in the room just now. Fortunately, he didn't ask about anything related to her, so she felt much more at ease. However, the first wife, who always had a sweet face but a bitter heart, did not fan the flames or add insult to injury this time, which surprised her a little.
"Let's go." Zong Ying stretched out his hand to the first wife who came out.
"Master, I'm an adult now and can walk by myself." The first wife covered her mouth and laughed, looking at Yuanyuan lying in the room, and said gently, "Master, are you coaxing Mu Ting as a child?"
"You, no matter what age, are the child in my heart." Zong Ying smiled and took back his hand.
The second wife Lan Maner took the opportunity to agree, "That's right, the first wife is the master's principal wife, but she is different from us."
Lan Maner's original intention was to use this contrast to highlight Li Mu Ting's position in the master's heart, but she didn't expect Li Mu Ting to get angry because of her words.
Li Mu Ting, who was following behind Zong Ying, looked at her deeply, with a smile in her eyes, but didn't say anything else.
Zong Ying walked out of Xia Garden, thinking that there were still things to deal with in business, and simply whispered a few words to the first wife and left in a hurry.
Li Mu Ting and Lian Lian walked on the road to Huichun Garden one after the other, neither of them had the heart to look at the scenery on both sides.
"Madam, why?" Lian Lian finally couldn't help but ask out of her inner doubts.
"Why didn't you add insult to injury to the lying Second Madam in front of the Master?" Li Muting picked a rose and fiddled with it in her hands.
Lianlian nodded in response, "The Master is right in front of you. If you had said a few more words, the Master would have had a very bad impression of the Second Madam."
"How could the Master not think of something that you can think of?" Li Muting stopped to look at her, her eyes full of tenderness, which was completely inconsistent with the sarcastic words.
In that kind of situation, she, as the mistress, must have been so stupid to say bad things about the Second Madam Lan Maner! Fortunately, she was a clear-headed person, otherwise, meeting such a maid would have been a real idiot.
Lianlian hated herself for being too talkative at this moment. She thought that her question made the First Madam unhappy.
"You are still young. You are not as good as Shi Yi." Li Muting had a strange smile on her face. "How have you and Shi Yi been getting along these days?"
"I have been keeping a close eye on Shi Yi these days. I can guarantee that she has not had any contact with anyone outside Chunyuan." Lianlian looked cute as she patted her chest to make a promise, but Li Muting's expression was not so happy. She sank her face. "I asked how you get along with each other."
Lianlian was a little slow to respond and said, "We get along well."
Obviously, this was not the answer Li Muting wanted. But she didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue. She turned to ask something else. "Did you notice anything more in the eldest lady's room?"
Lianlian thought seriously for a long time before tentatively answering, "More books?"
Li Muting sighed and shook her head. She didn't say anything more. Her eyes were deep, but she was imagining the rag doll she had seen in the eldest lady's room before.
If she remembered correctly, that kind of rag doll was specially made in the temple to calm children.
The eldest lady was frightened by something that she needed one, no, more than one doll like that.
"Madam, how does the second wife look so young?" Lianlian's sudden question reminded her.
As women who had both given birth to children, Wang Linlang was a few years younger than Lan Maner, but Wang Linlang didn't look as young as Lan Maner.
It is said that the best tonic for women is sex, could it be Lan Maner?
She suddenly remembered the dream she had had before.
Could this be a guide from heaven? ! She decided to investigate the second wife Lan Maner.
If Lan Maner really did something that was insulting to the Zong family, Zong Ying would have quietly dealt with her without her, the first wife, stepping in.
Lianlian didn't care that she didn't wait for the madam's answer, because the first wife was like this on weekdays.
Lan Maner didn't know that her disaster was about to happen. She was proud of the extra love that Zong Ying had for his daughter Yuanyuan.
She had some sympathy for Wang Linlang and the young master, but now that she had benefited, she felt that Wang Linlang deserved it.
She was already fantasizing about a happy life in the future.
Her daughter Yuanyuan now occupied all the master's love for the children. The master also said that as long as Yuanyuan missed him, she could take her to see him, so as a mother, she would naturally accompany her daughter. Children are always playful, and they will definitely think about playing after a few words. Then what else can she do when she and the master, two adults, are together! Later, getting pregnant was a very simple matter.
When she successfully gives birth to the son in her belly, he will be the young master of the mansion. What can the eldest wife, a hen that can't even lay eggs, use to fight her in the future! Even if she looks down on Lan Maner as a prostitute, so what? When Lan Maner really sets her foot in this clan family, she wants to see who dares to secretly discuss her previous identity! It has to be said that Li Muting, the eldest wife, has to give up her position as the main wife for me!
