In the room, Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao were silent for a long time, Zhao Rong put away his sad face just now, and thought about it for a while, and then said: "Xiao Tao, have you heard anything strange in your mother's place these days?"

In Zhao Rong's heart, how do you look at the fact that he married his cousin to the uncle of the Seventeenth Clan, this matter itself is very strange. The two people did not say that they had never met, and it is estimated that they had never heard of each other. Isn't it a very strange thing that two people who are so incompatible suddenly become a pair.

Hearing Zhao Rong's question, Xiao Tao first chuckled in his heart, he never thought that the young master would call him back, and he actually asked about the matter of his wife.

Thinking of the things that he and his wife have been busy with in the past few days, Xiao Tao couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart, could it be that the young master heard something? But no matter what, he couldn't easily mention that incident and arouse the young master's suspicion. So Xiao Tao deliberately pretended to think about it for a long time, and after a while, he shook his head, "No, young master, I didn't hear anything strange." ”

Answering the young master's question in such a way as to avoid the important is not without entanglement in Xiao Tao's heart. After all, he has been with the young master for the longest time since he was a child, but he has never told the young master half a lie, and he has never deliberately deceived the young master about anything.

It's just that this time the matter is too big, so he can only answer the young master's question one-sidedly, after all, Miss Cousin's matter is not a strange thing.

At least in Xiao Tao's opinion, Miss Cousin's family affair is indeed not strange. After all, she was involved from beginning to end, so she was clear about the things inside and didn't feel anything strange, so he could answer Zhao Rong's question like this as a matter of course.

But obviously, Zhao Rong didn't want to let go of Xiao Tao so easily. After listening to Xiao Tao's answer, he just didn't think for a while, and then said: "Xiao Tao, let me tell you directly, I just want to know, when did my cousin meet Uncle Seventeen, and how could he agree to be Uncle Seventeen's concubine?"

This time, Zhao Rong directly made the problem clear, and he didn't allow Xiao Tao to avoid the problem of avoiding three or four. After all, just as Xiao Tao understands him, Zhao Rong actually knows Xiao Tao very well. From the look on his answer to the question just now, you can know that although he is not lying, he still has something to hide.

Thinking of the question he just raised and Xiao Tao's answer, Zhao Rong had reason to believe that Xiao Tao was evading. So he simply asked the question directly, after all, Zhao Rong is not the kind of person who is scheming, and Xiao Tao grew up with him, in fact, the best way for the two to get along is to go straight to this point.

Sure enough, hearing Zhao Rong's direct question, Xiao Tao didn't know how to answer for a while.

At this time, hearing Zhao Rong ask directly about this distant cousin, the last trace of luck in Xiao Tao's heart disappeared.

He suspected just now that the question asked by the young master was so strange, it must be something about Miss Biao, and some rumors had reached the young master. Although Xiao Tao didn't know that Madame had taken so many measures, she was afraid that if this matter reached the ears of the young master, where did the young master know about it.

But at this time, it was not the time for her to think about this question, after all, the young master was still waiting for his answer. How can I say it so that the young master can accept this matter?

Yes, Xiao Tao was in a very tangled mood at this time, she knew that Madame and herself were for the good of the young master, although she was a little sorry for Miss Biao in this action, but it was not a grievance against her. But if you just say it to the young master like this, I don't know if the young master will be able to accept the truth of the matter.

And Xiao Tao has always known that the young master is pure in mind and kind in character, even if he knows what Miss Table has done, the young master probably can't agree to let Miss Table be a concubine for the master of the Seventeenth Clan. So how you should answer now is the key to the matter.

As mentioned earlier, Xiao Tao will not lie to Zhao Rong, but this premise should be without hurting Zhao Rong. But whenever someone wants to hurt or intends to hurt Zhao Rong, Xiao Tao will turn into the sharpest weapon and block in front of the young master, destroying all these ghosts and ghosts.

Therefore, when it comes to Zhao Rong's safety, Xiao Tao will answer Zhao Rong's questions selectively, he will avoid some key points, and rarely use some skills to answer questions. In order to protect the young master and not let him suffer any harm.

So after hesitating for a moment, Xiao Tao organized her own language, and then said slowly: "Young master, this matter of Miss Cousin was decided by Madame. Madame is also thinking about her cousin, after all, when Miss Cousin was at home, she was delayed for various reasons, and Miss Cousin is nineteen years old this year.

In other people's families, they are already old girls. In addition, Miss Biao's background is pitiful, so if you want to marry into a big family, in addition to being a concubine, you are also a person to fill the house. “

Anyway, Xiao Tao first pointed out that this matter was decided by the lady, which was enough for the young master to think twice. After all, Xiao Tao grew up with Zhao Rong, but he knew what kind of thinking his wife had been educating the young master. Therefore, the young master had never raised any objections to Madame's decision before.

Every time Madame made a decision, the young master complied. So this time, when Xiao Tao answered the young master's question, the first sentence was to move the lady out.

Then Xiao Tao had another way to narrate Miss Table's situation. These Zhao Rong are also clear, my cousin is nineteen years old this year. This is actually a more polite statement, in fact, my cousin's birthday is very big, and my cousin is already twenty-one years old this year.

Now the surrounding women, the family generally starts to look for relatives when the girl is twelve or thirteen years old, and she will go out to marry at fifteen or sixteen. But if a girl from any family stays until she is twenty years old, it will basically become a joke. Therefore, when mentioning Miss Table's age, everyone consciously only said that she was nineteen years old.

Zhao Rong hadn't thought about this question before, but at this time, Xiao Tao directly raised it, and he also realized that it was true that his cousin's age was past the age of marriage. Girls of his age are basically married and have children. Then when it comes to my cousin's marriage, it's a matter of course.
