Chapter 693: The Foot-Washing Girl Wants to Get to the Top (36)
Zong Ying held Shi Yi's hand all the way to the East Courtyard before letting go.
Shi Yi noticed that something was wrong with him and was about to ask him what was wrong when he was hugged tightly by him.
"Master..." She stood there somewhat at a loss, her body very stiff. After a while, she softly comforted him, "I know you feel bad seeing the Second Madam like this."
Zong Ying wanted to say that he was not sad for Lan Man'er. But it was rare for him and her to have such a quiet hug, and he didn't want to break such peace, so he quietly listened to her.
"Although the Second Madam did something wrong, she has you in her heart. It's just that this harem is too terrible and can turn people into slaves of desire." The reason why Lan Man'er wanted to get pregnant was to give birth to the new young master of the Zong family. So that she could get more favor from Zong Ying.
"The second wife has lost her child and her health is damaged. It is a big problem for her to live outside the mansion. The eldest lady must be reluctant to leave the second wife. The eldest lady is your only child. If you don't love her, who will? Even for the sake of the eldest lady, you should keep the second wife in the mansion."
If Lan Maner left the mansion, the eldest lady Yuanyuan would be alone and would not be a match for the eldest lady Li Muting. If Lan Maner was still in the mansion, Li Muting would be more cautious and would not attack the eldest lady directly. She would also be more tolerant of her.
Sui'er, who followed closely, hid behind the archway and listened to her words that bewitched the master's heart. She was so angry that her teeth itched.
If the situation allowed, she would rush up and tear Shi Yi off, hug the master herself, and think for the master from the master's perspective.
A woman with a bad moral character like the second wife Lan Maner has long been unworthy of living in this world! Keeping her in the mansion, isn't that a reminder for the master to think about his shame every day!
In the side yard, everyone withdrew. The eldest wife, Li Muting, ridiculed Lan Maner with pride.
"Look at you now. You are no longer as beautiful as before. If someone doesn't know you, they will think you are a dirty woman from there. Look at your face. It's as white as paper. You deserve this."
Li Muting hurried here because she was afraid that her actions would be too active and cause the master to suspect that she was the one who attacked Lan Maner.
Although she had the intention to attack Lan Maner, she didn't really take action. She was a little curious about who poisoned Lan Maner.
"Look at you, you really don't have a good memory. You gave birth to a daughter and the master didn't like you. You still want to have another one. See doctor, people are greedy. God is not letting you have a good life now, and you have no children."
Li Muting was jealous of Lan Maner. She was jealous that she could get pregnant when she wanted. Poor her, her stomach has never moved since she entered the mansion.
She also thought Lan Maner was really stupid. She has a body that can get pregnant at any time, but she still wants to have an affair with an outsider. She has caused the master's disgust in vain.
"You, you won't have a good life in this mansion for a few days. You should cherish it..."
"Have you said enough?" Lan Maner, whose eyes were fixed on the top of the mosquito net, looked at her from the side with a cold face, "If you have said enough, please ask the eldest lady
to leave. I want to rest." "Still being so arrogant here. Don't you know what your identity is now?" Li Muting glanced at her sideways, "This is the confidence given to you by the eldest lady. I hope you cherish it, otherwise..." She shrugged and walked out of the gray and old room with Lianlian.
Drive her away? She was not willing to stay in this room full of moisture and stench! There was also a child who died, which brought her bad luck!
Lan Maner crossed her hands and clenched her wrists, gritted her teeth and endured for a long time, but finally cried out.
It turns out that people really will be punished for doing wrong things.
Her previous indifference to her daughter has now paid off.
Her daughter wants her to die.
A more vicious thing is that he hopes that she will die twice.
She knew that she had no chance to get her daughter's forgiveness. Although she still lingered in this world, since her daughter wanted her to die, she would fulfill her daughter's wish once.
For so many years, the thing she regretted was that she didn't spend a good birthday with her daughter.
She took out the hairpin hidden under the pillow and stabbed her throat hard.
Li Muting and Lianlian, who came back and told her to take the medicine on time, happened to see her committing suicide. One of them screamed and the other lost their voice. Their legs were limp and they couldn't move at all.
The eldest lady Yuanyuan and Aunt Zhang, who returned to Xiayuan to boil medicine for Lan Maner, were stunned when they heard the news from the servants.
Yuanyuan first cursed the servants, then pushed over the half-boiled medicine pot, and finally ran to the side yard crying.
Li Muting stood under the big tree in the side yard, constantly reciting the Heart Sutra to calm her heart.
This Lan Maner is really cruel. In order to make her daughter Yuanyuan hate her completely, she actually used such a vicious plan and chose to commit suicide to frame herself.
Now, she doesn't care what Yuanyuan will think of her, she only cares about what the master will think of her.
What is indisputable is that only she and Lianlian saw the scene of Lan Maner's suicide, and Lianlian is still her confidant.
When Yuanyuan entered the side yard, she saw the eldest wife Li Muting standing under the big tree and chanting scriptures, with the light of hatred in her eyes undisguised.
Li Muting wanted to tell her that her mother Lan Maner committed suicide, but in this case, the other party would not believe it.
She didn't want to make herself feel bad, so she turned her back and pretended not to see Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan entered the room and threw herself into her mother's arms.
She really couldn't accept her mother's death. Although she had hoped that her mother would die, so that she could get more pity from her father through her mother's death.
However, her mother really died. She really closed her eyes forever. Never wake up again. She realized her true thoughts.
She didn't actually want her mother to die.
She just resented her mother.
She even vaguely understood the real reason why her mother chose to die. But she was unwilling to accept it. She would rather blame the eldest wife for her mother's death. This way she would feel better.
"Miss, the second wife is dead." Aunt Zhang was frightened by Yuanyuan's constant tears.
"Mother is not dead." Yuanyuan buried her head in her chest, pretending to still hear her heartbeat, but her eyes that kept shedding tears revealed her inner feelings.
"Miss, you have to be stronger in the future." Aunt Zhang patted the thin girl's back.
In the future, without the protection of the second wife, the eldest lady can only face the road of life alone. She has to be stronger and wiser than she is now to protect herself.
