Seeing Zhao Rong's depressed expression due to shame, Gong Yu couldn't help but comfort him: "Little brother, you don't have to worry too much. After all, this happened a few years ago. No matter what, the matter has been settled now.
No matter what happens, we have to look forward. Besides, a few years ago, when you were still young, your mother wouldn't let you get involved, and your cousin's marriage was normal."
Regarding the attitude of his mother mentioned in Zhao Rong's narrative, Gong Yu could actually tell from between the lines of Zhao Rong's words that at least Zhao Rong at that time was dissatisfied with his mother's decision. Now,
Zhao Rong did not express his attitude.
But regarding this matter, Gong Yu actually felt that he couldn't bear it. He couldn't be independent in his marriage and was completely dependent on others. Therefore, he still felt some sympathy in his heart. What Zhao Rong said about this distant cousin
.
But listening to Zhao Rong's narration of what Xiao Tao said at that time, it was indeed very reasonable. After all, in today's society, considering her cousin's conditions, it was quite acceptable for her to be a concubine for a member of a large family.
After all, the final fate of a poor woman with nothing and no one to rely on would not be much better than that of Zhao Rong, a distant cousin.
And last time I heard my eldest brother say that this kind of thing is very common in these wealthy families. In the mansion of the wealthy family, the mistress of the Zhao family can be said to be a man of words, and can decide the life or death of many people with one sentence. In this case
For Gong Yu of Zhao Rong's family, it is completely normal for the mistress to decide her marriage.
Gong Yu knew that it was not that his little brother couldn't pass this hurdle, but that the person his distant cousin married was really untrustworthy, so it was unavoidable to make people worry.
But even after finding out that such an incident had happened, Gong Yu still didn't understand why Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao were so estranged from each other.
After all, after listening to Zhao Rong's narration, Xiao Tao was just here, playing the role of the God of Ear Report, just reporting every move around Zhao Rong to his mother, and it was obvious that Zhao Rong
Rong knew it already.
And under the circumstances a few years ago, it was understandable that Xiao Tao made the choice without hesitation, listened to his mistress, and directly reported the conversation between him and Zhao Rong to her mistress.
After all, Zhao Rong was still young at that time, and of course she had to follow her mother's arrangements for matters at home. Xiao Tao's behavior was not too much.
Then why did Zhao Rong mention this matter when he mentioned the estrangement between him and Xiao Tao? But after saying this, Gong Yu didn't understand even more what the estrangement between them was.
Thinking of this, Gong Yu couldn't help but ask her question: "Little brother, your cousin is indeed very pitiful. But this is the way the world is today. It is not easy for everyone to live in this world. Everyone has his or her own destiny.
The difficulty of her life. You were a low-key person at that time and couldn't help her, so there was nothing you could do. I know you are kind-hearted and can't bear to see her fall into the fire pit, but this matter is not something that you, the young master of the Zhao family, can decide.
thing."
Seeing that Zhao Rong's expression improved slightly after his persuasion, Gong Yu finally spoke out his problem: "But after I heard you talk about this matter, I don't understand how you attributed the final fault in this matter.
Is it on Xiao Tao?"
If Zhao Rong hadn't believed that Xiao Tao should bear some responsibility, he wouldn't have been alienating Xiao Tao in the following years. The two of them were together day and night, but their relationship was getting weaker and weaker. It was even rare for Zhao Rong to have a friend.
If there is an opportunity, Xiao Tao must be sent away to prevent her from following him. It can be seen that Zhao Rong is venting his anger on this matter on Xiao Tao.
After getting along for a long time, Gong Yu didn't feel that Zhao Rong was the kind of person who was unreasonable and vented his anger on others for no reason, so he asked directly.
After listening to Gong Yu's question, Zhao Rong first sighed deeply. He understood the purpose of Gong Yu's question, and because he was recounting what happened at that time, he still had some feelings of his own.
It was really hard to get involved, which is why the second brother didn't understand why this matter had nothing to do with Xiao Tao, but he ended up pointing all the fingers at Xiao Tao.
In any case, since Gong Yu asked, Zhao Rong still answered honestly: "Second brother, it's like this. The only time I met my cousin was before he got married. My cousin once mocked me, saying that he
Therefore, it was entirely because Xiao Tao played a key role in falling into such a tragic situation.
Although I didn't ask clearly later on what key role Xiao Tao played here, and because my mother appeared and suppressed the people in the yard, I didn't have the chance to inquire about this matter carefully, so I was just confused.
A few years have passed, but I know that my cousin is not the kind of person who is aimless. Xiao Tao must have done something here, and this incident may have caused the cause of my cousin's misfortune. "
When Zhao Rong said this, he turned to look at Xiao Tao, who had been silent beside him, as if waiting for Xiao Tao to explain to him.
But Xiao Tao, who had always been very expressive just now, now had a dull expression on his face, as if he didn't understand the meaning of what his young master said.
At this moment, Gong Yu finally understood. It was probably because of her cousin's words that Zhao Rong became suspicious and had feelings for Xiao Tao.
Although Zhao Rong said that because of other things and the appearance of his mother, he did not ask Xiao Tao again about his role in this matter. But looking at the performance of the two of them now, Gong Yu can be sure that
Zhao Rong must have asked Xiao Tao about this matter in a sideways manner in the days that followed.
But Xiao Tao's behavior was very obvious. He probably had a dull face like this, pretending not to understand, but not answering.
However, Xiao Tao's appearance was a disguised admission that she indeed played a disgraceful role in this matter, which was why cousin Zhao Rong's sudden marriage was caused.
After understanding the behavior of the two people, Gong Yu realized that it was no wonder that the little brother he had just met had such a strange attitude towards his personal servant.
After understanding the reason why the relationship between these two people was so rigid, Gong Yu felt some sympathy for the little brother he had just met. (To be continued)
