Chapter 688 The foot-washing girl wants to get promoted (31)
"A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. Who knows." Aunt Cai looked at the room where the second wife was imprisoned, and said with an experienced look, "They are said to be old acquaintances, so there must be affection between them. Who knows when they contacted and when they didn't contact each other."
"That's right. The child in the second wife's belly is not the master's. It's because the master is kind-hearted that he wanted her to give birth to the child in this side courtyard and then deal with it." Aunt Wang threw a handful of melon seeds into her mouth and said vaguely, "This is the secret of the main family. I am telling you two today at a great risk. You two must not tell anyone else."
"That's for sure, that's for sure." Aunt Cai and Aunt Li looked at each other and temporarily hid the secret in their hearts.
Several people continued to play cards. The third wife Wang Linlang, who was eavesdropping at the door, quietly climbed back to her big bed, muttering to herself from time to time, "Lan Maner, that little bitch, finally saw how vicious Li Muting is."
In the early morning, everyone in the side yard had gone to bed, and Wang Linlang secretly went to Lan Maner's room.
Lan Maner saw her without any surprise, and casually brought her a stool and whispered, "Sit."
"Aren't you curious about why I came here?" Wang Linlang didn't pretend to be crazy in front of her, and casually picked up a cup next to her to play with it. If it weren't for her current look, her attitude towards Lan Maner would be no different from before.
"You're here because I'm so curious." Lan Maner looked at the moon outside the window and curved her slender eyebrows, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon."
"I'm still thinking about celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival." Wang Linlang's eyes fell on her belly, and said with ill intentions, "I don't know when your life will end."
Lan Maner lowered her head and stroked her belly, smiling slightly, "I'm more optimistic than the third wife."
"Do you think the master spared your life because he has feelings for you? I tell you, the master doesn't love anyone. Look over the years, he has been sincere to any of the three of us. It's just that you are stupid and want to fight for it with your life." Wang Linlang twisted the hem of her clothes angrily, not hiding her hatred for Zong Ying, "The baby I gave birth to for him drowned, and I didn't see him investigate the real truth behind it."
"The master really feels guilty about the young master's death." Lan Maner was not bothered by her emotions, and her eyes became gentle instead. "The master did doubt the cause of the young master's death. But you, Third Madam, you are a member of the Zong family, but you are helping your own family to plot against the Zong family. I don't know what you are thinking."
"What do I think? What does it have to do with you!" Wang Linlang's face was full of disdain. "It's better for me to plot against the Zong family than for you to cheat on Zong Ying. It's just that Zong Ying is not a man. If he were a man, he would have put you in a pig cage long ago."
Lan Maner smiled softly, "The Third Madam and I are in the same situation now, so why should we be here to laugh at each other?"
Wang Linlang suddenly lowered her head and pinched her nails. When she raised her face, the calculation flashing in her eyes was frightening, "Don't worry. I won't be the same as you. Soon, the Zong family will collapse."
Lan Maner's hair stood up on her back because of her look. She grabbed the armrests of the chair and whispered, "Third Madam should go back early."
"Are you scared?" Wang Linlang's palm fell on her belly, and the white moonlight made her arm look eerie. "Don't worry, since we were in similar situations, I will let you take this bastard away from here."
Lan Maner shook her hand away, walked to the door, and urged in a low voice, "If the Third Madam doesn't leave, I will call someone."
"You are really scared." Wang Linlang laughed with her head raised, "How can you be so shameless? You are still imitating others to have an affair. Okay, I won't bother you anymore."
Lan Maner twisted the handkerchief in her hand tightly, with a resentful look in her eyes.
All her goals were not to have an affair, but to get the love of the master. She was the woman who loved the master most purely in the whole backyard.
Why did everyone misunderstand her? !
Tonight, Zong Ying couldn't sleep again as usual.
He came to the yard with his coat on.
The moonlight was evenly scattered in the yard, illuminating a bright road. He walked forward step by step along the road illuminated by the moonlight, and carelessly bumped into a woman's shoulder.
"Who are you?" Who could be the woman who appeared in his east courtyard at this time? When he was puzzled, the girl turned around, with a sparkle in her eyes and a smile as gentle as the moonlight tonight, and his heart was instantly captured.
Shi Yi deliberately calculated the angle to ensure that when she turned her head, the moonlight could shine into her eyes and show her true charm as a girl. Seeing Zong Ying distracted, she unconsciously took a half step back.
"Master." She called softly.
"Why are you here?" Zong Ying never claimed to be a gentleman, and immediately admitted that he had a different feeling for this little girl, and his tone of voice was a little more tactful.
"The eldest lady will not need me soon." Shi Yi lowered her head, revealing her snow-white neck. The long shadow dragged behind her, giving people a desolate feeling.
The huge contrast made Zong Ying's heart suffocate. His hand fell on Shi Yi and he said softly, "So you are scared, right?"
Shi Yi shook his head firmly, his eyes brighter than the moonlight, "I'm not scared."
"Then who are you?" Shi Yi took the initiative to hold his hand, and said boldly and passionately, "I'm not afraid of death, I'm just greedy and want to see the master more."
Zong Ying had never met a woman as bold as her, and felt strange in her heart, "You..."
"I know that my status is not worthy of the master." Shi Yi pressed his hand on his violently beating chest, his voice choked, "But since the day I entered the mansion, the first time I met the master, I have deeply impressed the master in my heart."
Zong Ying unconsciously thought of the day she entered the mansion, a little girl who was half-dressed, dark all over, but with a pair of eyes that were frighteningly bright, as if brighter than the moonlight tonight. He was busy talking about business at the time, and took a quick glance and moved his eyes away, but he never thought that this side would make the little girl remember him in her heart.
"Master, you have an extraordinary demeanor. I have been in the market for many years, but I have never seen a great man like you. That one look made me recognize you." Shi Yi saw that he did not resist and buried her face in his arms.
A maid who is too smart is always a bad thing for the master. The third and second wives have successively entered the side courtyard. The first wife has no competitors, and she, the maid who once gave advice to the military strategist, can also "die an untimely death." This is not the ending she wants.
The biggest backer of this Zong Mansion is still the master Zong Ying.
