Chapter 864: Appeasement
Zhao Rong hesitated, and did not answer his words immediately, Mrs. Zhao didn't care too much, but turned her head, looked at Xiao Tao, who had been standing next to her, with a respectful appearance, and asked directly: "Since Rong'er is not easy to answer, then Xiao Tao is still up to you." ”
With Mrs. Zhao's fluttering words, Zhao Rong immediately thought in his heart: It's over. These two words. Sure enough, just as she guessed, as soon as Xiao Tao heard Mrs. Zhao's question, she directly poured beans into a bamboo tube, and directly said the conversation between herself and the young master just now.
Xiao Tao replied, "Just now the young master was looking for Xiao Tao to inquire about Miss Biao's marriage. At first, the young master felt that the little cousin was a little wronged by being a concubine for others. After Xiao Tao's explanation, the young master has accepted this fact. Know, with Miss Biao's identity and family background, it is impossible for him to be the head lady of someone else's family. But the young master was still a little puzzled that Miss Table was going to be the concubine of the seventeenth master's family. ”
As Xiao Tao's tone changed without any change, she directly recounted the conversation between the two just now. Zhao Rong's face became more and more gray. He knew that this little peach had nothing to hide from his words and deeds about the things around him, and reported it directly to his mother. Zhao Rong has also experienced this kind of thing several times.
In the past, every time Zhao Rong was dissatisfied with Xiao Tao's whistleblowing behavior, he began to persuade him, and then directly reprimanded, wanting to stop Xiao Tao's behavior, but his own prevention did not work. If you don't say it, her mother will call Xiao Tao in front of her, and in front of her, let Xiao Tao report her behavior these days.
Although his mother did not directly say that she had any opinion on his dissatisfaction, her mother used the behavior of letting Xiao Tao report to correct Zhao Rong's dissatisfaction.
Gradually, Zhao Rong also gave in. He did not raise any objections or dissatisfaction with Xiao Tao's practice of reporting his behavior. Of course, this is not to say that Zhao Rong directly and naturally accepted this arrangement, but that he buried the anger in his heart deeper and hid it.
And now, Mrs. Zhao once again asked Xiao Tao to report the private conversation between the two in front of herself, as if Zhao Rong's wrapped wound was exposed to everyone at once. So at this time, Zhao Rong's face was just a little gray, this was the best result for him to endure the pain and force himself to be expressionless.
And Mrs. Zhao didn't seem to see the change in Zhao Rong's face at all, and he still had that loving smile on his face, as if he was listening to his favorite child and narrating his most proud things.
It wasn't until Xiao Tao finished reporting that he turned his gaze to Zhao Rong on the side and said, "Rong'er, this matter is a decision I made. Your seventeenth uncle saw your cousin two days ago, and he was shocked for a moment and begged to marry. At present, I can't help it, after all, in terms of the relationship between the clan, your seventeenth clan uncle is your father's brother, and since he opened his mouth to request, it is difficult for us to refuse. ”
Zhao Rong's face had become a little ugly just now, and his ears were even more buzzing, and he basically couldn't hear Xiao Tao's words, but strangely, his mother's words were clear and reached his ears.
At this time, Zhao Rong was using his whole body to control his facial expressions, where did he have any spare strength to fight for his cousin.
So even if Zhao Rong was unhappy, it was impossible for him to say anything at this time. He was afraid that if he said it with one mouth, it would be out of control.
The consequences were definitely not something he could bear, so Zhao Rong just lowered his head and saluted Mrs. Zhao again, his deferential appearance made Mrs. Zhao very happy.
Mrs. Zhao stood up, and instead of looking at Zhao Rong who was not sure how to react to the outside world again, she looked at the servants who were waiting around.
Mrs. Zhao had put away the smile that had been hanging on since she entered the room just now, and looked at the little maids and maids who were waiting around her with a somewhat stern gaze, and then she spoke: "This time, the young master is sick, largely because of your negligence. There are no rules in the family. In a while, I will send Mama to seriously investigate this matter, whose responsibility is it?"
The surrounding servants who were originally serving in Zhao Rong's courtyard knelt on the ground one after another, defending the beggers for mercy, and various voices rang out.
But these movements could not reach Zhao Rong's ears, at this time he was like a puppet, sitting there, even when Mrs. Zhao got up, he couldn't react. Not to mention, the movements and voices of the servants begging for mercy at this time.
Mrs. Zhao was obviously in a good mood, he didn't care about Zhao Rong's final rudeness, Shi Shiran took his own people and left Zhao Rong's courtyard as if he had never come.
But at this time, the servants in the courtyard no longer have the mood of watching the excitement just now. These people were still on their knees, wailing and begging, hoping that there would be no grandma for a while, and that the responsibility would be on their heads.
At this time, no one cared about their own young master, who had been sitting on the chair and had not moved, and all they were worried about now was their uncertain fate. I don't know what will happen to me in a while?
It was only Xiao Tao, who noticed his young master's abnormality at this time, and he sighed deeply in his heart.
He knew that no matter what happened this time, it still hurt the young master, which was the last thing he wanted to see. But then he remembered what his wife said, if things were allowed to develop, the damage suffered by the young master would definitely not be to the extent it is now. So his heart, which had just been soft, was strong again.
No matter what, you must do your duty and guard the young master's side. Although the young master doesn't understand it now, one day, the young master will be able to understand that it is her who he is protecting wholeheartedly.
No matter what, Xiao Tao slowly walked to Zhao Rong's side, stretched out her hand to help Zhao Rong, who had been sitting still. Although he didn't know now, how to comfort the young master. But he hopes to be able to convey his concern in the past from his own actions, so that the young master's mood can be a little better.
But things obviously didn't develop according to Xiao Tao's expectations, when she reached out to help Zhao Rong up, Zhao Rong, who was awakened by his movements, suddenly woke up from the chaotic state she had just had.
Originally, Zhao Rong felt that a large stream of kindness was close to her, and her body slowly warmed up, but when she looked up, she found that it was Xiao Tao who was standing next to her and stretched out her hand to help her.
