Xiaotao has suffered a lot in this house in the past ten days. After all, the Zhao family treats their servants well. At least in the small courtyard where the salesman lives, the basic living facilities are complete in the two-person room, so now it looks like
Seeing such a ruined scene in the house, the shopkeeper suddenly sympathized with Xiaotao. He was so young and had been locked up in this yard for ten days. He didn't know how much he suffered.
When he saw the fan hanging ornament handed over by the salesman, Xiao Tao immediately stood up excitedly, took the hanging ornament with both hands, and carefully looked around in his hands. Finally, Xiao Tao was finally sure.
This was indeed the pendant that my young master bought with his own hands and gave to Young Master Gong Yu when they used it together in the provincial capital a few days ago. Xiao Tao was finally relieved.
He handed the pendant back to the salesman, and then said: "I'm really sorry, brother. It's true that the young master and I are in a bit of a difficult situation when we come back this time, so we have to be careful."
Hearing what Xiao Tao said, the salesman quickly said it didn't matter. After all, the salesman admired such cautious people even more. He didn't expect Xiao Tao to be so vigilant at such a young age, and then thinking about what he just said
Speaking of which, the situation between his young master and Xiao Tao is a bit tense now.
The salesman couldn't help but feel excited. She had already sympathized with this young master Zhao Rong, whose father didn't care for his mother. He was obviously a legitimate son, but he didn't get any love in this family. So he immediately asked
Said: "Xiao Tao, what happened to you this time? What mistake did you make to be imprisoned here and receive such a severe punishment?"
Xiaotao has now completely let down her guard. Since the person in front of her has that pendant, it means that he is completely one of her own. After all, when her young master bought the pendant, there was no one else around, and his young master waited until they were the only ones.
When there were three of us, I gave the pendant to Master Gong Yu.
Therefore, the only people who know about this matter, besides Master Gong Yu, are probably the young master and him. Since this person can take out the pendant, then the person in front of him is indeed the one who came to see the young master and him under the entrustment of Master Gong Yu.
Then he is someone he can completely trust.
Hearing the salesman ask why he was punished and locked up here, Xiao Tao felt a little down for a while before he said.
"I'm actually not sure. After we came back, my wife and the master came to talk to me, but because I had already agreed to the young master, I didn't say much. I only said that the young master had been visiting the provincial capital for a few days, but the master
But Madam already knew about the existence of Young Master Gong Yu and Young Master Gong Jian, so she kept asking me about the young Master’s relationship with the two Young Masters Gong.”
Speaking of this, Xiao Tao's face turned a little pale. He recalled that time when the master and his wife were pressing hard. They forced him to tell them all the details about the young master's acquaintance with the two young masters. At that time, the two men were a little fierce.
face.
"I don't know what to say. In the end, I can only say that Young Master Gong Yu and I met by chance while we were playing. As for Young Master Gong Jian, it's even better to say. Originally, Young Master Gong Jian was going to participate in the Juren Festival.
It was for the exam. That afternoon, Master Gong Jian had just taken the exam, so the two young masters went to the restaurant and waited for Master Gong Jian to leave the examination room. Then, before the three of them could say anything, they were called back by the housekeeper.
.”
Since Xiaotao was a child, she has been accustomed to reporting to her master about everything related to the young master. So this time, he wanted to warn himself from the bottom of his heart to remember what he promised to the young master.
Therefore, he tried his best to hide the acquaintance between the young master and Gong Yu, and even buried the fact that the two had a close friendship. He simply said that the two met by chance.
But I don’t know if Xiao Tao acted too obviously, or if Madam was not very satisfied with what Xiao Tao reported. Anyway, Madam’s face was very gloomy at that time. Xiao Tao was worried about when Madam would have an attack.
Other servants always say that the master and his wife have a very deep relationship, but Xiao Tao has been with the young master since she was a child and is often called over by his wife. In fact, Xiao Tao knows very well.
When the master and his wife get along, they mostly discuss things. If there is nothing to discuss, the two of them actually don't say a word. So he knows that the two of them are more like a couple than a couple.
kind of partner.
But when it comes to the matter of their young master, the two of them are surprisingly consistent. After all, he has been forced to ask the young master about everything by these two people since he was a child, and he has grown up slowly like this. So this time, it is rare that
Once Xiao Tao knew how to hide it. But I don’t know if Xiao Tao’s skill was too weak, so the master and his wife immediately saw Xiao Tao’s avoidance.
At this time, the lady was really angry, and she forced Xiao Tao several times. When she found that Xiao Tao had given up her mind this time and would not tell the truth at all, she was so angry that she simply ordered Xiao Tao to be imprisoned.
In the past ten days, except for a mother-in-law who brought a dry steamed bun and a bowl of water to Xiao Tao every night, there was nothing else.
Xiao Tao stayed alone in this dilapidated house for ten days. All the hardships in these ten days did not make Xiao Tao regret or change his mind. He was just more worried about his young master's situation. He didn't understand why.
My wife and master must know everything that happens around the young master. The young master is already sixteen years old. If he has done nothing wrong, there is no need to report everything to the master and his wife.
So this time, Xiao Tao must persevere to the end. This is also because Xiao Tao grew up with Zhao Rong after all. Although the two had differences due to subsequent events and gradually drifted apart, in fact, they have always been together.
Living together, the relationship between the two is still very deep.
So after being awakened by Gong Yu, Xiao Tao has always understood clearly that only Zhao Rong is his master and he must be loyal to Zhao Rong. So this time, he can insist on keeping his mouth shut and not let the master and his wife take advantage of him.
, and then get something about the young master that he doesn’t want to reveal.
After Xiao Tao finished speaking, the salesman was stunned. He never thought that the reason why Xiao Tao was punished so severely was because he did not truthfully report that Zhao Rong went to the provincial capital and communicated with the Gong Jian brothers.
The specific process of getting acquainted. At this time, the salesman couldn't help but have more and more doubts in his heart. What was going on with Mr. Zhao Rong in the Zhao family. (To be continued)
