Not to mention that the wife of the Zhao family arranged it, the servants in this courtyard served him, the only concubine, and it also had a special purpose. Except for the mother-in-law who is in charge of the door, the others are all young people, and they do not live in the Zhao family with their families. The others basically bought it intermittently from outside, and the earliest of them was of course Xiao Tao.

The other people also had no foundation in the Zhao family, and once they entered this small courtyard of Young Master Zhao Rong, they would never have a chance to go out. Fortunately, they originally came to the Zhao family singlely, so they didn't need to go out and deal with others. That is, the mother-in-law who guards the door is an old servant of the Zhao family.

But the janitor's family was also ill-fated, her son and daughter-in-law died early due to various accidents, leaving only a grandson who is about the same age as Xiao Tao. And her grandson was also arranged by the wife of the Zhao family to the courtyard of a concubine. So the janitor was able to see her grandson occasionally.

But in fact, she knows better that in this Zhao family, at least in the backyard, she has to listen to Madame's arrangement. Therefore, although the mother-in-law knew some rumors, or knew some outside situations, she never revealed them to the others in Young Master Zhao Rong's courtyard.

Hearing the words of the janitor, Xiao Tao realized that she came back with emotions, and she was actually seen by others. Thinking of this janitor, who is also the only person in the vocational academy who has an outside source of information, Xiao Tao has some shadows in her heart. After all, this mother-in-law has never said anything about the outside, and when she thinks of which of her grandson is the personal servant next to the young master, Xiao Tao is even less in the mood to laugh with the janitor.

But now it is obvious that it is not when he shows his feet and makes others wary, Xiao Tao hurriedly put away his face, deliberately pretended to be a little depressed and said: "Alas, mother-in-law, what else can I do because of it, it's not because I annoyed Madame." I don't know if Madame is still angry with me now, it's late today, and if I have a chance tomorrow, I should still go to Madame to ask for a sin, so that she can forgive me as soon as possible. ”

Hearing Xiao Tao say this, the janitor immediately showed a look of sudden realization, and she hurriedly opened her mouth to comfort Xiao Tao: "Xiao Tao, if you want me to say that your matter is also a trivial matter, don't pay too much attention to it." Tomorrow, if you have the chance, then you can simply go to Madame and plead guilty. Thinking that Madame is magnanimous, she will definitely forgive you. In the future, you must firmly remember what Madame said, and it is only right to listen to Madame's orders. ”

For the words of the janitor, Xiao Tao is also very accustomed to hearing it. He didn't think much about it before, but now that he hears this woman say this, Xiao Tao will inevitably think a little more. Could it be that this mother-in-law is the eyeliner that Madame planted in the courtyard of their young master? I didn't make any mistakes, but I was punished so severely by my wife. was locked up in that remote courtyard, and he could only gnaw dry steamed buns and white water for ten days, which was completely unseen in the other servants of the Zhao family.

But this mother-in-law only said that this was a trivial matter, and asked herself to listen to Mrs. 's words, which shows that this is the person arranged by Mrs. Thinking of this, Xiao Tao was even more vigilant, he deliberately made a look of annoyance, nodded and thanked the woman repeatedly, and then turned around and went back to his room to wash.

In the past ten days, Xiao Tao has not touched any water to wash except for the little water that can quench her thirst.

Ten days have already tormented this spiritual teenager to a mess, this is the merchant he usually mixes in society, so he has seen all kinds of down-and-out people, for the little peach that has not been washed for ten days, the merchant can talk to him for so long without changing his face.

Just now when the mother-in-law saw Xiao Tao's appearance, in addition to the distress on the surface, there was also a disgust that she tried her best to hide. Although she hid it well, she was still discovered by Xiao Tao. The most important thing is that Xiao Tao is basically a soldier now, and everything looks a little wrong in his eyes.

If he had such vigilance, it is estimated that he would have discovered the strangeness of his young master's situation long ago, and he could only say that the current Xiao Tao was a dead sheep.

This can't be blamed on Xiao Tao for having some paranoia about being killed now, in fact, when he walked into the room to wash, the janitor had already hurriedly tied the courtyard door, and quickly left Zhao Rong's small courtyard and went towards the main courtyard.

It seems that Xiao Tao's guess is not wrong, this janitor is indeed the lady in charge, and the eyeliner in their yard. The mother-in-law is even more firmly staring at the daily life of the people in this hospital, not to mention that she is also in charge of the duty of the gatekeeper, so who enters and who leaves the mother-in-law is the clearest.

Originally, today was the day to let Xiao Tao out, and this woman had already been reminded by Mrs. to let her pay attention to Xiao Tao's performance after she came back. So just now she felt sorry for Xiao Tao on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was also responsible, and it was inevitable that she would ask about Xiao Tao's situation, just to see what kind of idea he had in his heart.

Now that the mother-in-law knows, she also understands what Xiao Tao roughly means, this kid is now remorseful, so she hurriedly locked the door and went directly to the main courtyard. Anyway, it was only a few quarters of an hour to reply, and the young master was still early when he returned to the courtyard, and he thought that this time was enough for her to make a trick in front of her wife and report this matter completely.

So when Xiao Tao was freshened up, he came to the courtyard, but found that several servants in the courtyard were working in various duties, and no one paid attention to him. And he walked to the door of the young master's study, looked inside, but found that the study was still as deserted as he left.

In the study, all the books are also neat, and the desktop is so clean that there is not a single piece of paper. Xiao Tao sighed deeply, he knew that now the young master had no intention of learning at all. The last time they were playing in the provincial city, the young master obviously said that he would study hard when he went back, according to the young master's original words, although he couldn't catch up with the second brother, but at least when the second brother said any allusions, he could know what the second brother was talking about.

But looking at the appearance of the study in front of him, it can be seen that the young master did not set foot in the study after he came back, let alone the words that the young master said at that time, to make up his mind to study hard. For this, of course, Xiao Tao is understandable. The young master was already feeling extremely depressed at home, and once again adapting to this oppressive environment, the young master would definitely be even more unbearable.
