Not to mention that it was arranged by the wife of the Zhao family, the servants in this courtyard had a special purpose in serving his only legitimate son. Except for the woman in charge of the door, everyone else was young and did not have a family.
living in the Zhao family. The others were basically bought intermittently from outside, and the earliest among them was of course Xiaotao.
The other people have no foundation in the Zhao family. Once they enter Master Zhao Rong's small courtyard, they have no chance to go out. Fortunately, they came to the Zhao family alone, so they don't need to go out and deal with others.
Desire. In other words, the gatekeeper is an old servant of the Zhao family.
But this caretaker's family also had a bad fate. Her son and daughter-in-law died early due to various accidents, leaving only a grandson who is now about the same age as Xiaotao. Moreover, her grandson was also killed early.
The head wife of the Zhao family arranged to live in the yard of a concubine. So the caretaker could occasionally see her grandson.
But in fact, she knew better that in the Zhao family, at least in the backyard, she had to listen to the wife's arrangements. So although the mother-in-law knew some rumors, or knew some outside situations, she never revealed it to Master Zhao Rong's yard.
Others here know.
Hearing the words of the janitor, Xiao Tao realized that she had come back with emotions, and someone else had discovered her flaw. Then she thought about the janitor, who was the only one from outside the vocational college.
Xiao Tao felt a little shadowy about the person who came from the source of the information. After all, this woman had never said anything about the outside world. When she thought about her grandson being the personal servant of a concubine, Xiao Tao was even less in the mood to joke with the caretaker.
Already.
But now it was obvious that it was not time for her to show off her flaws and make others wary. Xiao Tao quickly put away her face, deliberately pretending to be a little frustrated and said: "Oh, mother-in-law, what else can I do for, other than because I pissed off Madam.
I don’t know if Madam is still angry with me now. It’s too late today. If I have a chance tomorrow, I should still go to Madam to ask for forgiveness and ask her to forgive me as soon as possible.”
Hearing what Xiao Tao said, the janitor immediately showed a look of enlightenment. She quickly comforted Xiao Tao: "Xiao Tao, it's a trivial matter for me to tell you, so don't take it too seriously. If there's anything tomorrow,
If you have a chance, then you can just go to Madam and plead guilty. I think Madam is tolerant and will definitely forgive you. In the future, you must firmly remember what Madam said and it is proper to obey Madam's orders."
Xiao Tao has become very accustomed to hearing the words of the caretaker. He didn't think much about it before, but now when he hears what this woman says, Xiao Tao will inevitably think more about it. Could it be that this woman
Is this the spy the madam planted in their young master’s yard?
Otherwise, why would he defend his wife like this? He made no mistake, but he was punished so severely by his wife. He was locked up in that remote yard and could only eat dry steamed buns and water for ten days. This was completely ignored by the other servants of the Zhao family.
There is no such punishment.
But the old lady only said it was a trivial matter and told herself to listen to the madam. It could be seen that she was the person arranged by the madam. Thinking of this, Xiao Tao became even more vigilant. He deliberately looked annoyed and nodded.
After thanking the woman again and again, she turned around and went back to her room to wash up.
In the past ten days, Xiaotao could not touch any water for washing except a little bit of water to quench her thirst.
Ten days have already tortured this spirited young man to a complete mess. This is also the salesman. He usually hangs out in society, so he has seen all kinds of destitute people. For Xiaotao who has not washed in ten days, the salesman can also
I talked to him for so long without changing my expression.
When the mother-in-law saw Xiao Tao's appearance just now, in addition to the superficial distress, there was also the disgust she tried to hide. Although she hid it very well, she was still discovered by Xiao Tao. The most important thing is that Xiao Tao is basically a warrior now.
Everything seemed a bit wrong in his eyes.
If he had been so vigilant, he would have discovered the strangeness of his young master's situation long ago. It can only be said that Xiao Tao is now trying to remedy the situation.
This can't be blamed on Xiao Tao's paranoia. In fact, when he walked into the room to wash up, the caretaker had already hurriedly locked the courtyard door and left Zhao Rong's small courtyard quickly.
Went towards the main courtyard.
It seemed that Xiao Tao's guess was not wrong. The caretaker was indeed the wife of the house, the spy in their yard. The mother-in-law was closely watching the daily life of the people in the hospital, not to mention that she was also holding the watch.
It is the responsibility of the door, so the mother-in-law knows best who comes in and who goes out.
Originally, today was the day to let Xiao Tao out, and the madam had already sent someone to remind her to pay attention to Xiao Tao's behavior after she came back. So she felt sorry for Xiao Tao just now, on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was also responsible.
It is inevitable that he will ask about Xiao Tao's situation, just to see what kind of thoughts he has in his mind.
Now that the mother-in-law knew, she also understood what Xiao Tao probably meant. The boy was very regretful now, so she hurriedly locked the door and went directly to the main courtyard. Anyway, it only took a few minutes to reply.
It was still early for the young master to return to the courtyard. She thought that this time would be enough for her to find a way out in front of the madam and report the whole matter.
So when Xiaotao had finished washing up, he came to the yard and found that the servants in the yard were all doing their respective jobs and no one paid attention to him. He walked to the door of the young master's study and looked inside.
But he found that the study was still as deserted as he left.
In the study room, all the books were neatly arranged, and the table was so clean that not a single piece of paper could be seen. Xiao Tao sighed deeply, knowing that the young master had no intention of studying anymore. Last time they were in the provincial capital.
When we were playing, the young master clearly said that he should study hard when he went back. According to the young master's original words, although he could not catch up with his second brother, he should at least be able to know his second brother when he said some allusions.
What are you talking about.
But looking at the appearance of the study in front of him, it can be seen that the young master has not set foot in the study after returning, let alone what the young master said at that time, that he must make up his mind to study hard. Of course, Xiao Tao can understand this.
The young master already felt extremely depressed at home. Once he adapts to this depressing environment again, the young master will definitely be even more unbearable. (To be continued)
