Chapter 1248 Heartbroken
Zhao Zhai understood this and immediately said anxiously: "Sir!"
"Hmm? What else do you have to say?"
Zhao Zhai was so frightened that his heart trembled. He moved his lips, and the words of objection circled in his throat before he swallowed them back.
He could still read the signs, but the prefect's look was obviously not pleasant, so he didn't dare to do it.
It was not known whether Zhao Mu and Zhao Ye failed to get the news in time or what, but neither the father nor the son showed up, so Zhao Zhai had to bear everything alone.
He had to agree to pay ten thousand taels of silver as compensation and apologize in court.
The ten thousand taels of silver must have been taken from the public, and he didn't feel bad about it, because it wasn't his anyway. But Zhao Zhai reluctantly bowed to Sun Qian and apologized, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he was extremely angry in his heart, and he scolded Zhao Ye.
At this point, the oolong case has come to an end.
The Zhao family's reputation also improved greatly and they became famous in Yangzhou city.
Sun Qian returned to the inn.
Zhao Zhai took out all his anger and humiliation on Zhao Shu and Zhao Ye. Zhao Shu was right in front of him, so of course he would not let him go.
As soon as he left the government office, Zhao Zhai rushed over to stop Zhao Shu and sneered, "Since you are back, why don't you go back to the mansion? Come with me!"
Since he was not in court, he did not need to give face to Zhao Mu and the Zhao family. As for Zhao Zhai, Zhao Shu did not care about him at all. He sneered, as if he had heard something extraordinary. He said, "Who told you that I won't go back to my house? That is my home, where I was born and grew up. If I don't go back, where can I go?"
Zhao Zhai was deeply hurt. He grew up as a concubine's son outside the Zhao family and only returned to the Zhao family as a bastard at the age of twelve. He stared with his eyes wide open and was speechless for a while.
When he came to his senses, Zhao Shu and Uncle Qing had already boarded the carriage and left.
Zhao Zhai spat in the direction they left, walked angrily towards the Zhao family's carriage, and ordered the driver to speed up, he wanted to go back quickly!
When we get back to the Zhao family, everyone there will be our own people. Let’s see what good the little bastard Zhao Shu can get!
In fact, Zhao Mu, Zhao Ye and Qin Shi all knew that Zhao Shu appeared in the government court.
But since Zhao Shu said that openly, it was an established fact, and it would be useless even if Zhao Mu rushed to the court.
If he went there, at most he would just scold Zhao Shu as an "unfilial son", but it would be his and the Zhao family's shame.
It’s better not to ask at all.
The whole family was on high alert, waiting for Zhao Shu to come back.
Qin was particularly angry, secretly cursing this little bastard for coming back at this time instead of earlier or later, ruining her good thing!
She was still confident in her "brilliant" idea, and thought that as long as Zhao Shu didn't come back, she would be able to get the 100,000 acres of mulberry fields.
Little did he know that Zhao Mu was already feeling aggrieved and upset because of this matter.
I gave away so many precious antiques and silver for nothing, and then ended up in court and embarrassed myself and lost face. I made a huge joke of myself, and in the end, I got nothing!
Zhao Shu brought Uncle Qing and eight strong servants back to the Zhao family in great style.
As soon as he entered the mansion, the housekeeper invited him to the main hall: "The master and Madam Qin are waiting for you."
Zhao Shu glanced at the housekeeper coldly: "Mrs. Qin? Did my father marry a second wife?"
The housekeeper was embarrassed: "No, no."
"Then where did this Madam Qin come from?"
“.”
Zhao Shu sneered contemptuously and walked past him.
In the main hall, Zhao Mu and Qin sat on the main seats in the middle, one on the left and one on the right, Zhao Ye sat in the first seat at the lower left, and the maids and old women stood by, holding their breath and looking tense.
