All this was probably planned by the young master. Because both the master and his wife appeared in front of the old lady at the same time, when the young master proposed to go on a trip, of course the old lady immediately listened to the young master’s explanation.
I agreed with the young master’s opinion.
But the master and his wife had no excuses, or excuses that required the approval of others, and no chance to refute. In the end, they had no choice but to accept the young master's plan.
At that time, Xiao Tao could clearly feel the various gloomy auras emanating from the old lady. Although they had tried their best to control themselves and not appear too unhappy in front of the old lady, they could still see the expression on the old lady's face.
Some of them are darkened, the eyebrows are slightly wrinkled together, and the corners of the mouth are slightly drooped. The master and his wife obviously look like they are about to get angry.
Moreover, Xiao Tao had dealt with the master and his wife for a long time, so she had a certain understanding of them. At that time, Xiao Tao saw that the master and his wife met their eyes and reluctantly agreed to the young master's travel plan.
But at that time, when Xiao Tao saw the look in the eyes of the old lady, she knew that they just wanted to agree in front of the old lady, but then they would waste time and think of ways to prevent the young master from traveling. But who knew that the young master had actually made preparations in advance,
I immediately took out my bags and got ready to go.
Of course, the old lady tried her best to prevent the young master from doing this, but the young master was confident in front of the old lady and resolutely refused their so-called need to prepare property, prepare more manpower, etc. In the end, the young master just compromised.
Taking Xiao Tao with them, they left the house.
Until the moment he walked out of the Zhao family's house, Xiao Tao was in a trance. He never thought that he would follow the young master out of the Zhao family's house. After all, in his opinion, once he walked into the Zhao family's house, what would happen to him?
She probably would never have a chance to go out in her life. After all, even though Xiao Tao was a domestic servant bought from outside, during the training, the supervisor had repeatedly emphasized the ancestral precepts of the Zhao family, so all the servants knew that the Zhao family was strictly exclusive.
.
This is a family rule that both the masters and servants of the Zhao family must adhere to. It is a tradition that has been continued for hundreds of years. Xiao Tao did not expect that such an unconventional emergency such as the young master would actually happen.
As a result, he and Xiao Tao were able to walk out of the Zhao family's house and go out to see the outside world.
At that time, Xiao Tao still didn't understand why the old lady loved the young master so much, cared about his daily life, and treated him with caution, even though she was afraid that he would be wronged in the slightest, yet she would agree to his travels so easily.
Even when the young master directly proposed to leave immediately, the old lady did not stop her too much. Thinking about it now, Xiao Tao actually had a vague guess.
Maybe at that time, the old lady had realized something, or she had discovered that the old lady was not as doting on the young master as she showed in front of her. Of course, maybe it was because the young master suddenly made this move, which made the old lady realize
What happened? That's why the old lady was able to insist on standing with the young master and support him to go out for a walk. Even when the old lady firmly stopped her, the old lady used her status to pressure the two people and agreed to the young master's trip.
But even if the young master suddenly attacked, he had already packed his bags in time. The preparation of killing first and showing off later, coupled with the persistence of the old lady, and all kinds of efforts, only allowed the young master to play in the provincial capital for a few days. However, the old lady still sent out
He asked Butler Wang and called the young master home early.
Even after they came back, Xiao Tao didn't hear any explanation from the master and his wife for calling them back in advance. And Xiao Tao herself didn't report all the things that happened around the young master to the master and his wife as she did before.
, and was punished by his wife. He was imprisoned for ten days and spent ten days alone in that remote and desolate little yard.
This is a punishment that has never been punished among the servants of the Zhao family. Although the courtyard was originally designed to punish servants, the Zhao family considers itself a scholarly family, so it has always been tolerant to its servants.
Although the small courtyard was nominally used to punish servants, it had actually not been used for many years. Even the subsequent owners of the family no longer allocated funds to maintain the courtyard, causing the courtyard to become increasingly dilapidated.
And in that shabby little courtyard, Xiao Tao stayed for ten days at a time, with only dry steamed buns and water every day, and not even a decent place to sleep. Fortunately, the weather was not very cold now, so during these ten days,
Xiao Tao also managed to survive it forcefully.
Maybe Madam punished him so severely just to let Xiao Tao know what the problem was and how serious her mistake was. But in fact, after these few days, Xiao Tao had not thought about this.
In the past ten days, he had been worrying about his young master's situation over and over again. He didn't know that he had been punished so badly and how his young master would be treated.
Fortunately, the salesman said that these days, the young master has been going to school on time. So the young master's life should be the same as before they traveled. Maybe the master and his wife don't want others to say that they treat themselves harshly.
son. In other words, they didn't want to make things so obvious to make people aware of it.
Maybe the old lady and the others were concerned about the old lady's threat. In any case, at least they did not punish the young master. This made Xiao Tao feel a little relieved. At least the young master was in a very unfavorable situation in the Zhao family, but at least he was not there yet.
hurt himself.
But here comes the problem again. There is no evidence on my side that the master and his wife obviously treated his young master harshly. The inferences made by myself and the two young masters are just looking at this problem from their perspective.
Xiao Tao also knows very well that if people look at these issues from another angle or simply from the perspective of the master and his wife without conscience, these things will not matter.
Maybe by then, people will turn around and say that their young master is a wolf-hearted person who doesn’t know how good the master and his wife are to him and how much she loves and cares for him. On the contrary, the young master mistakenly blamed the master and his wife on this matter.
The victim will become the master and his wife, and the young master will become a completely abandoned character. (To be continued)
