Chapter 866: Cross-examination
Seeing Zhao Rong's depressed look due to shame, Gong Yu couldn't help but open his mouth and comforted: "Little brother, you don't have to worry too much, after all, this was a few years ago, no matter what, now that the matter has been settled." No matter what, we have to look forward. Besides, a few years ago, when you were young, your mother wouldn't let you interfere, and your cousin's marriage was normal. ”
Regarding the attitude of his mother mentioned in Zhao Rong's narrative, Gong Yu can actually hear it from Zhao Rong's words, at least Zhao Rong at that time was dissatisfied with his mother's decision. Now, Zhao Rong has not expressed his attitude.
But for this matter, Gong Yu actually felt a little unbearable, his marriage was not autonomous, and he was completely at the mercy of others. Therefore, he still has some sympathy in his heart, Zhao Rong said about this distant cousin.
But listening to Zhao Rong relay what Xiao Tao said at that time is indeed very reasonable. After all, in this current society, with the conditions of her cousin, it is okay to be able to be a concubine for the children of a large family.
After all, the final fate of a poor woman who has nothing and nothing to rely on will not be much better than Zhao Rong, a distant cousin.
And last time I heard my eldest brother say that this kind of thing is very common in these high-ranking families. The housewife of the Zhao family is in the mansion of a large family, and it can be said that she can decide the life and death of many people with one sentence. For Zhao Rong and Gong Yu of their family in this situation, it is normal for the housemother to decide her marriage.
Gong Yu knew that his little brother couldn't pass this hurdle, but because the person married by that distant cousin was really a little unbearable, so it was inevitable that people would be worried.
But even if he figured it out, such a thing had happened, and Gong Yu still didn't understand why Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao were so alienated.
After all, after listening to Zhao Rong's relay, Xiao Tao was only in it, just playing the role of reporting God, just reporting Zhao Rong's every move to his mother, and this matter was obvious, Zhao Rong had long been clear.
In that situation a few years ago, Xiao Tao chose to listen to the words of the housemother and directly reported the conversation between him and Zhao Rong to the housemother, which is also understandable.
After all, Zhao Rong was still young at that time, and of course the affairs at home had to obey her mother's arrangement, and it was not too much for Xiao Tao to act like this.
Then why did Zhao Rong mention the estrangement between him and Xiao Tao, and talked about it, but after this matter was said, Gong Yu didn't understand where the estrangement between the two of them was.
Thinking of this, Gong Yu couldn't help but ask his question: "Little brother, your cousin is indeed very pitiful. But this is the way of the world today, everyone is not easy to live in this world, and everyone has their own hardships. At that time, you were a soft-spoken person, and if you couldn't help him, there was no way. I know that you are kind-hearted and can't bear to see her fall into the fire pit, but this matter is not something that you, a young master of the Zhao family, can decide. ”
Seeing that Zhao Rong's face improved slightly under his own persuasion, Gong Yu said his question: "But after I heard you talk about this matter, I don't understand how you attributed the ultimate fault of this matter to Xiao Tao?"
If it weren't for Zhao Rong thinking that Xiao Tao should pay some responsibility, he would not have been alienating Xiao Tao for the next few years. The two will be together day and night tomorrow, but the relationship is getting weaker and weaker. Even to the extent that Zhao Rong had a rare opportunity, he must send Xiao Tao away and not let her follow him. It can be seen that Zhao Rong is venting his anger on Xiao Tao in this matter.
And in the past half a day, Gong Yu didn't think that Zhao Rong was the kind of person who was unreasonable and inexplicably vented his anger to others, so he asked bluntly.
And after listening to Gong Yu's question, Zhao Rong first sighed deeply. He understood the purpose of Gong Yu's questioning, and because he was relaying what happened at the time, he had some of his own feelings, and he really didn't want to join it, which caused the second brother to not understand why this matter had nothing to do with Xiao Tao, but in the end he pointed all the fingers at Xiao Tao.
Anyway, since Gong Yu asked, Zhao Rong still answered honestly: "Second brother, that's the case." The only time I saw my cousin was before he got married. My cousin once mocked me, saying that the reason why he fell into such a miserable situation was entirely because Xiao Tao played a key role in it.
Later, although I didn't ask clearly, what key role did Xiao Tao play here, and because of the appearance of her mother, she suppressed a yard of people, so I didn't have the opportunity to ask about this matter carefully, and I passed a few years in a daze, but I knew that my cousin was not the kind of person who had no purpose, and Xiao Tao must have done something, and this incident may have caused the origin of my cousin's misfortune. “
When Zhao Rong said this, he turned his head to look at Xiao Tao, who had been silent beside him, as if he was waiting for Xiao Tao to explain to himself.
But Xiao Tao, who had always had a very rich expression just now, had a wooden face at this time, as if he didn't understand the meaning of what his young master said.
This time, Gong Yu understood it, and it was estimated that Zhao Rong had doubts in his heart because of her cousin's words, and he had a pimple with 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 now, Gong Yu can be sure that Zhao Rong must have asked Xiao Tao about this matter in the days to come.
But Xiao Tao's performance is obvious, it is estimated that he has a wooden face like now, and he pretends not to understand, but he doesn't answer.
And Xiao Tao's appearance is a disguised admission that she did play a disgraceful role in this matter, which is why Zhao Rong's cousin's sudden arrival was a family affair.
Seeing the performance of the two, Gong Yu knew that it was no wonder that the little brother he had just met would have such a strange attitude towards his personal servant.
Figured out the crux of the relationship between these two people who were so stiff, Gong Yu felt some sympathy in his heart, the little brother he had just met.
