Madam Fu only knew that Deng Ruibo had been arrested, and that she heard it from Madam Deng herself.

She really didn't know the specifics of the situation.

He then asked, "Yanci, what exactly happened?"

Fu Yanci tricked Deng Ruibo into thinking he would take him out for a nice meal, but then drove around in circles and even went to the port, asking him to tell the staff that Deng Ruibo was allowed to bring things onto the ship.

Upon hearing this, Madam Fu's heart sank.

Without a doubt, they were going to use the Fu family's ships for smuggling.

Madam Fu looked up at Jiang Zao: "Zao Zao, what did your cousin bring onto the ship?"

Jiang Zao: "Antiques."

Madam Fu's eyes narrowed.

If Deng Ruibo really succeeds in this matter, wouldn't the Fu family become traitors who smuggle antiques abroad?

Once the truth comes out, no matter how many achievements the Fu family has made over the past century, it will not outweigh this one mistake, and the Fu family will eventually perish.

Seeing Madam Fu's solemn expression, Jiang Zao quickly comforted her: "Mom, don't worry, everything has been resolved. The antique, my cousin, and all the thugs my cousin brought who wanted to take Aci hostage have all been taken away by the police. I also took the liberty of expressing the Fu family's stance: we will absolutely cooperate with the police to protect the national treasure, and the Fu family will never engage in smuggling."

The weight that had been weighing on Madam Fu's heart finally lifted.

She stepped past Fu Yanci, took Jiang Zao's hand, and patted it gently. "Zaozao, you did a great job. You saved the Fu family."

At this moment, she was once again incredibly grateful for her decision to agree to change her marriage partner.

If it were Xia Chuwei who did what happened today, Deng Ruibo would probably have succeeded.

Composing herself, Madam Fu looked at Madam Deng again: "Aunt, the Deng family made their fortune in antiques. You should know better than me what crime smuggling antiques is. Deng Ruibo is determined to harm our Fu family. If it weren't for my daughter-in-law's quick thinking today, the Fu family's century-old foundation would have been destroyed by you. How dare you come to the Fu family to demand an explanation?"

Although Madam Deng is already eighty years old, she only has one son, Deng Ruibo, and she had him late in life, so she dotes on him terribly. Her values ​​follow her son's lead, and no matter what mistakes are made, it is always someone else's fault; her son is always the best.

"Even if Ruibo was in the wrong, Yanci and his wife could have resolved it privately. Was it really necessary to call the police? Besides, your Fu family's ships are exempt from customs inspection in many countries. Given the relationship between our two families, can't we even help each other smuggle some things out? Ruibo must have been in a hurry to come up with this method. He took those antiques out to do research and to contribute to humanity. What did he do wrong?"

Madam Fu and Jiang Zao: "..."

It's true that people with incompatible values ​​can't communicate.

Saying even one more word is a waste of breath.

Madam Fu picked up her teacup and took a sip, which was already a signal to see the guest out.

The maid stepped forward and gestured for Madam Deng and her daughter to enter.

But Madam Deng refused to leave, and when she felt that things were really not going to work out, she decided to back down.

"How about this, as long as you get Ruibo out, I'll have him come and apologize to you in person, is that alright?"

Madam Fu was utterly speechless at her aunt: "A doting mother spoils her son. Deng Ruibo has committed a serious crime under the law. What do you think the Fu family is, that they can be above the law and just release him whenever they want?"

Old Mrs. Deng acted as if she had become attached to them, saying, "Anyway, my son was imprisoned because of you, so you have to find a way to get him out. Otherwise, I'll stay in your house and not leave."

Having lived her whole life, Madam Fu had seen all kinds of people, but she had never seen anyone so shameless. For a moment, she really didn't know how to deal with it.

Jiang Zao then made a direct phone call: "Officer Yan? This is Jiang Zao. Yes, it's like this, someone broke into our house and threatened to stay here if we didn't help rescue Deng Ruibo. Yes, it's Deng Ruibo who was just arrested by you. Okay, I'll wait for you."

In the end, Madam Deng and her daughter were forcibly taken away by the police.

Both Madam Fu and Fu Yanci felt extremely pleased.

Jiang Zao said with a smile, "Sometimes you can't treat these petty people like gentlemen, otherwise you're just giving them a chance to climb up the social ladder."

The house was finally quiet. Madam Fu asked about what had happened that day in detail. After listening, she was even more angry, feeling that she had been too polite to Madam Deng earlier.

"What a waste of that packet of tea. It would be better to feed it to the dogs than to give it to them."

The maid said from the side, "Madam, the Third Madam just reminded me to take my time getting the tea leaves, so I just brought them over and haven't had a chance to give them to Madam Deng yet."

Madam Fu couldn't help but laugh. Of course, she knew that Jiang Zao was doing it on purpose. She held her hand, as if she were her own daughter.

"Sometimes you are so dignified and sensible, as if you've seen it all, and other times you are so mischievous, like a child who hasn't grown up. It's all good. Mom has to thank you, and on behalf of the Fu family, thank you. If it weren't for you today, the Fu family would really be finished."

The only two people Madam Fu valued most in her life, besides her son, were the Fu family.

Now, both Fu Yanci and the Fu family have been saved by Jiang Zao.

Under these circumstances, how could she not treat Jiang Zao well?

"You must have been busy with factory shipments today, and now you have to go to the docks to deal with this mess. Go upstairs and take a bath first. I'll cook for you today and let you taste my cooking."

Jiang Zao was somewhat surprised, as she had never seen Old Madam Fu enter the kitchen in her previous life.

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

Fu Yanci wanted to join in, saying, "I can help my wife scrub her back."

Madam Fu didn't stop them; she was happy to see the young couple get along so well.

She remembered what Dean Chu had said.

If Yanci could truly recover one day, and have another child with his daughter-in-law, letting her experience the joy of being surrounded by grandchildren, that would be a truly blissful thought.

Jiang Zao naturally didn't let Fu Yanci scrub her back, and locked him out of the bathroom. When she came out after her bath, she saw Fu Yanci holding her phone.

"Honey, your phone keeps ringing."

Jiang Zao took them and found that they were several anonymous emails.

Upon clicking, her pupils dilated in shock.

It turned out to be all of Deng Ruibo's materials from his time abroad over the years.

He not only smuggled and sold antiques on multiple occasions, but was also suspected of multiple criminal cases. The reason was that he was the only one who returned alive from the entire archaeological team, and he brought back a lot of antiques with him.

Jiang Zao did not act on her own, but went downstairs and showed the emails to Madam Fu.

"Mom, it seems that my uncle's return to China this time is mostly to use the Fu family for smuggling, and to avoid overseas investigations against him. This matter has far-reaching implications, and we need to be careful, otherwise we will still get into trouble."
