Chapter 147: The Tao Family
Geng Xingshuang had just instructed Dexing to drive the carriage to the alley where Tao's house was located, and suddenly remembered that Zhu Yan was also very concerned about Tao Yuyu, and she had come to Ruyi Lou to eat more times than herself.
Now that it was getting late, she rushed to Tao's house, not only because of her relationship with Tao Yuyu, but more importantly, the guess in her heart.
She had also seen Tao Yuyu before, and knew that her mother was not in good health, and she was hit by Geng Xingbing's carriage some time ago, but according to Tao Yuyu, since she came to Ningdu and asked the doctor in Ningdu City to diagnose and prescribe a prescription, although her mother has not recovered, as long as she takes care of it, she has no worries about her life.
Now it has suddenly gone, whether it is because of the sudden aggravation of the disease, or because of other reasons.
Geng Xingshuang felt that it was necessary for her to go, if Tao Mu really died because of Tao Yuyu's identity, Geng Xingshuang felt that she was guilty in this matter, she did let people take care of some Tao family, but her ability was limited and she couldn't do more, maybe ...... It's also because it won't implicate itself for the time being, so it's not enough to care.
Zhenguo Mansion and Tao Family, Zhu Yan and Tao Yuyu, is one day and one place, the gap is more than thousands of miles, it stands to reason that it is so late, there is no need to go to Zhenguo Mansion to inform Zhu Yan.
But Geng Xingshuang knew Zhu Yan's temper and character, and knew that she didn't have an ordinary good impression of Master Xiaoyu, so after thinking about it, she still said to Yang Tianmo:
"Sixth Brother Yang, can you ask Dewang to help me go to the Zhenguo Mansion, go directly to Zhuqing, and tell him the news of the death of Master Xiaotao in Ruyi Building."
Zhu Qing is Zhu Yan's most trusted guard, he is in the outer courtyard, and telling him about it is equivalent to telling Zhu Yan.
Yang Tianmo nodded, "Okay." And said: "Don't worry, I'll accompany you with your second brother." β
Geng Xingshuang nodded absentmindedly, thinking in her heart, if Tao Mu's death was really Geng Xingbing's doing, how did she do it, Tao Mu is not a beggar on the road, she has family and neighbors, did she still use the previous method, while Tao Mu was out, control the carriage to hit people?
Or was it the maid named Chu Yin next to her? Jin Bao said that although Chu Yin is weak in appearance, he is a kung fu person, Geng Xingshuang once thought that Chu Yin is good at martial arts, so why was she hit by a carriage, she knows that people who practice martial arts have much stronger instinct and ability to avoid danger than ordinary people.
The Tao family is not too far from the Ruyi Building, it will arrive in less than two quarters of an hour, speaking of which, although they have met Tao Yuyu many times, and they have also paid attention to and protected the Tao family, but Geng Xingshuang has come to the Tao family for the first time.
Obviously, the Tao family's family background is indeed very ordinary, or it should be more accurate to say that it is poor.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, the yard was noisy with human voices, and the scattered lanterns lit up were also dusty, and they couldn't illuminate the whole yard at all, Geng Xingshuang only felt that there were people in front of him, walking around, and he couldn't see who looked like what.
As soon as she wanted to stop someone and ask, she was pulled by Yang Tianmo.
"Don't worry, I'll ask." He whispered something in her ear.
Geng Xingshuang nodded.
Yang Tianmo quickly stopped a chubby aunt, "This aunt, may I ask if the little Tao master of Ruyi Building lives here?" β
"You're looking for Xiaoyu, are you looking for her to cook? I'm afraid it won't work in the past few days, her mother went, you see, the house has been arranged into a mourning hall, Tao Rong and his son are guarding there, alas, Tao Rong doesn't do anything, his daughter-in-law went, sad is naturally sad, but this should also be done, he only cares about being sad there, things are lost to Xiaoyu, poor child, red eyes have to buy filial piety cloth, coffins, paper money and other funeral needs, but fortunately, there are neighbors in this yard to help. Oh, if you want to find him, just go straight to that room, she is discussing her mother's funeral with Aunt Hao. β
Finally hearing what he wanted to know, Geng Xingshuang thanked him, and walked to the room that the aunt pointed to, which was the first room on the east side of the compound, and it looked bigger than the Tao family.
"Master Xiaoyu!"
Before Geng Xingshuang went in, she saw a person coming out of the house, although she couldn't see the person's face clearly, but looking at the figure, she intuitively felt that the person was Tao Yuyu, and immediately called out.
Tao Yuyu looked over, and Geng Xingshuang had already hurried up to meet him.
"Miss Geng Liu, why are you ......?"
"I'm going to Ruyi Building for dinner today, and I listened to what the guy said, aunt...... Is it getting worse? β
Tao Yuyu's eyes were red, and the sadness that he had temporarily ignored because he was entangled in trivial matters hit his heart again, and tears fell big and big.
Geng Xingshuang hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.
Tao Yuyu looked at the girl in front of her who was younger than herself, and in the hazy eyes of tears, she saw the clear distress and pity on the other party's face, and the emotions that had been tense suddenly couldn't help it.
"Woooooo She threw herself on Geng Xingshuang, leaning on her shoulder and crying.
Geng Xingshuang patted her back lightly and whispered, "Cry, it's going to be okay, it's going to be okay." β
Geng Xingshuang didn't ask Tao Yuyu how Tao's mother died, but asked people to find a white shop that specialized in helping to arrange the funeral, and handed over Tao's mother's funeral to them, and the Tao family only needed to keep Tao's mother awake and accompany her mother to the last journey, instead of being entangled in all kinds of trivial matters, which was Tao Yuyu's wish.
Half an hour later, Zhu Yan actually came over in person, Geng Xingshuang thought that she might send someone over to take a look, but she didn't expect to come by herself.
"I fell in love with Xiaoyu, besides, Xiaoyu may still be your fourth sister, she is encountering this kind of thing now, I can't come over to take a look, comfort, and one more point, I also want to know, how did her mother die, did she really die of illness, if it is other circumstances, do you need to report to the official?"
And Zhu Yan now faintly feels in his heart that Tao Yuyu is a little like their family.
In order to take care of Tao Yuyu's mood, Geng Xingshuang did not continue to ask about the reason for Tao's mother's death, let alone the official that Zhu Yan said.
"If you really suspect that Master Tao's mother did not die normally, if you want to find out the reason, you should indeed report to the official, but the official must also be agreed by the Tao family, it is best for them to report to the official themselves, if it is to report to the official, the sooner the better, the longer the time drags on, the more difficult it is to find out the truth."
Yang Tianmo has always been by Geng Xingshuang's side, he doesn't know that Tao Yuyu has a possible relationship with Bofu, but he can see that his fiancΓ©e and this little Tao master are not just the relationship between diners and cooks.
Even Geng Shuhuai saw it, he wanted to ask several times, but was stopped by Yang Tianmo.
"Reporter?" Tao Rong, Tao Yuyu and Tao Yunian, the younger brother of the Tao family, were all taken aback by Zhu Yan's words.
Seeing their shocked and frightened looks, Zhu Yan and Geng Xingshuang could understand.
Geng Xingshuang explained: "If you are sure that Aunt Tao died of illness, you naturally do not need to report to the official, but if you are not sure, or you suspect that Aunt Tao's death has other hidden circumstances, you can report to the official and let the government find out the truth about Aunt Tao's death." β
