Chapter 278: Family Banquet
Tao Li'er introduced the dishes to General Tong one by one, General Tong listened carefully, and finally learned that Qianbaiwei had developed to the eastern countries, and when she looked at Tao Li'er's eyes, it was a little meaningful, "It is worthy of her daughter......"
General Tong muttered that Tao Li'er actually wanted to know what kind of family her family was, but the existing situation told her that she couldn't ask or mention it, because they were 'criminal ministers'.
But Tao Li'er had a feeling that something was not quite right, she had a lot of questions, and she had to find the answers herself.
Tao Li'er pulled up the Lin family beside her, and then introduced General Tong, "General Tong, this is my mother, surnamed Lin, her husband's surname is Li, and I am my father." ”
When General Tong heard this, he and his wife quickly got up, this was his and his wife's benefactor, helping them protect the child's life, General Tong picked up his wine glass, "This Mrs. Lin, I toast you!" You can rest assured in my children's mansion, and I promise you will be treated as a guest. ”
Lin didn't expect the honorable general of Donglin to actually toast to himself, and he was a little hurried for a while, but Tao Li'er poured her wine, handed her a cup, and put her hands on her face to comfort, "It's okay mother, General Tong is very kind." ”
Listening to Tao Li'er's motherly joy, General Tong was a little surprised, but he also knew that it was probably not so easy to change his mouth, and now he didn't seek fame or profit, he just asked Tao Li'er to call himself a father, but the premise was that Tao Li'er was voluntary.
General Tong and Lin raised a glass to drink, General Tong said a lot of words of thanks, Tong Yimeng also sent a glass of wine when General Tong sat down, during the banquet, except for Zhao Meizhi, who was sitting in the distance, staring dryly, and the other aunts were eating quietly, the only lively ones were General Tong and Lin, General Tong had been asking Tao Li'er about when she was a child, and Lin liked to tell people about this, and she opened her mouth endlessly.
Tao Li'er shouted twice, the Lin family was still doing his own thing, Tong Yimeng was also listening to it with relish, Tao Li'er darkened her face, stepped forward and took Tong Yimeng's hand and left the seat, "Go, big brother, accompany me to consume food." ”
The two came to a remote place, the surroundings were very quiet, and the wind and Xiaoxue who came with them were sent out to look at Tao Li'er, Tong Yi looked at Tao Li'er with a puzzled face, "Face, are you in trouble?" ”
Tao Li'er was about to laugh angrily when she heard this, sure enough, men are all creatures who think in the lower half of their bodies? Tao Li'er, who had a long brain, probably put it there and looked good, snorted coldly, "You don't have anything to confess?" ”
Tong Yimeng sighed in his heart, what does this mean? Tong Yimeng's eyes Tao Li'er naturally received it, but she was not in a hurry to explain, but wanted to wait for Tong Yimeng to say it himself, to see if he was responsible.
"What do you want me to say?" Tong Yimeng still decided to pretend to be stupid, Tao Li'er sighed, "Don't you say it now?" Do you know that because of your concealment and shirk, someone must bear the consequences for you, do you think it's fair? Don't you feel guilty? ”
Tong Yimeng stared at this time, frowning and looking at Tao Li'er, "What do you know?" Tao Li'er said three words, "Zuo, Rong, Rong." ”
When Tao Li'er said this name, my mood was slightly complicated, seeing Tong Yimeng's shocked face, Tao Li'er knew that everything she investigated was true, "Say, you have something to do with Miss Zuo." ”
Tao Li'er said directly, Tong Yimeng frowned, and then sighed, "It's me who is sorry for her, the day before the expedition, she was drunk that day......"
Tong Yimeng carefully talked about the ridiculous night he had two years ago, and it was exactly the same as Tao Li'er's guess and investigation, Tao Li'er was confirmed, but suddenly she didn't know what to say, thinking of Zuo Rongrong and Xiaotong, Tao Li'er decided to fix her good big brother.
"Do you know how Miss Zuo is doing now?" Tao Li'er suddenly spoke, Tong Yimeng was really attracted to attention, his eyes were focused, and at the same time he was a little nervous, "She...... How's it going? ”
Tao Li'er lowered her head, and her tone was a little 'heavy,' Miss Zuo...... She's dead. Tao Li'er clearly heard the gasping sound in front of her, Tao Li'er let out a bad breath for Zuo Rongrong in her heart, much more comfortable, Tong Yimeng's voice came from the top of her head, "Yes...... Because of me? ”
It doesn't seem to be stupid, knowing that it was a sin that she did, Tao Li'er raised her head and looked at Tong Yimeng seriously, "Yes, Miss Zuo was suddenly found to be pregnant two years ago, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu forced her to ask who the child's father was, Miss Zuo didn't say whether she was alive or dead, and was ruthlessly driven out by the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, Miss Zuo was scolded by everyone, and finally couldn't bear everyone's gossip and jumped into the river......"
If there is no help from Tao Li'er, I'm afraid this will really be Zuo Rongrong's fate, because Tao Li'er pulled her back to the river, Tong Yimeng's face turned pale, as if her soul was emptied of in an instant, Tao Li'er didn't feel that she was too much, compared to Zuo Rongrong, she was just scaring her, it was indeed Tong Yimeng who did something wrong.
He shouldn't have left without saying anything, this is a coward's behavior to hand over all the consequences to a weak woman, Tao Li'er looks down on this kind of behavior, if there is no her, when Tong Yimeng comes back, I'm afraid Zuo Rongrong may really be just a piece of loess.
Tong Yimeng was stunned for a while, and then spoke with some difficulty, a little dry between his words, "She, where is Zuo Rongrong's grave?" ”
Tao Li'er raised her eyebrows, "People are dead, what's the point of you asking this." Tong Yimeng frowned, "Even if I am asked to forgive my sins, take me there!" ”
Tao Li'er snorted coldly, "What do you forgive when you die, eldest brother doesn't have to mind too much, Miss Zuo shouldn't blame you, she likes your things, I also heard about it." ”
The more Tao Li'er said this, the more guilty Tong Yimeng became, "Don't say it...... Take me there! ”
Tao Li'er frowned, "The matter of entering the palace ......"
"This matter is more important!" Tong Yimeng's tone was irrefutable, and Tao Li'er nodded, "Okay then, you come with me." ”
Tao Li'er called the housekeeper and ordered directly, "I'm going to take my eldest brother to see an old man, you can help me talk to General Tong." ”
The housekeeper nodded, Tao Li'er turned her head and looked at Tong Yimeng, who was still a little distracted, the corners of her lips hooked, "Big brother, let's go, the deceased is gone, you don't have to be like this, Miss Zuo can't complain about you, it's her own bad life." ”
Tao Li'er took Tong Yimeng directly to see Zuo Rongrong, of course, Tong Yimeng thought that he was facing a tomb, until Tao Li'er got into the carriage, and when the carriage finally drove in a simple and secluded house, Tong Yimeng found that something was wrong with the gamer, and a guess suddenly appeared in his heart, which made him feel short of breath.
