Chapter 1259 This is definitely not what Zhao Mu is willing to face
Is he shameless to have his only legitimate son adopted?
The clan leader and elders quietly took out the letters left by Zheng in her early years and evidence signed by witnesses. Zhao Mu was so angry that his face turned red and white, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the ground!
He didn't expect, even Zhao Shu didn't expect, how serious Zheng's concern was and how thorough preparations she had made early on.
Aunt Qing had kept this letter all along. She only gave it to Zhao Shu when he was planning to return to Yangzhou.
After reading it, Zhao Shu went to his clan without hesitation and then returned to Yangzhou.
He mourned for his mother for three years in his ancestral hometown, and his filial piety was praised by everyone.
In addition, during the three years that Uncle Qing, Aunt Qing and others accompanied him in the clan, they were kind to everyone and respectful and filial to the elders in the clan, which won them goodwill and praise from everyone.
Zhao Shu brought up the matter of adoption again and offered a large sum of benefits. He wanted to ask why the clan leader and the clan members didn't help him?
Moreover, the clan leader knew very well that if he did not help, Zhao Shu would definitely make the contents of the letter public, and the Zhao family would be humiliated.
Even Zhao Mu himself would lose all face.
The letter described the whole story of Zhao Mu and Qin in detail. Zhao Mu fell in love with Qin, and Qin, who originally had a fiancé, quickly broke off the engagement. Less than two years later, her fiancé went out to do business and died.
This was actually an accident. Zhao Mu would not kill someone for Qin.
However, there is a lot of room for maneuver here!
After all, spreading rumors is free, and there is no way to explain it.
Zhao Mu had just married and started keeping a mistress and had two illegitimate children. He also "forced" his wife to help him cover up the lie to others - he said that Zheng did it voluntarily, but who would believe him?
Now that Zheng has passed away, there will be more people who sympathize with her.
Zhao Mu’s reputation will be completely ruined!
The Zhao family will also suffer.
This is definitely not something Zhao Mu is willing to face.
Zhao Shu sneered coldly: "Master Zhao, please sign this. You have two good sons and even grandchildren. Why do you want to keep me? You didn't like me in the first place, right?"
Zhao Mu sneered, "If you are not my son, you can't have a penny of the Zhao family's property!"
The same thing again.
Zhao Shu said without hesitation: "Yes!"
Things have come to this point, and no matter how unwilling, aggrieved, or angry Zhao Mu is, there is nothing he can do to change or salvage anything.
Witnessed by the clan leader and elders, Zhao Shu's name was erased from Zhao Mu's name and replaced with the clan leader's younger brother's name.
As expected, Zhao Shu did not make any demands on the Zhao family's property and stated straightforwardly that he would leave today.
Qin and Zhao Ye were very happy, especially Qin, who could hardly control the joy on her face. This family property would belong to them and their son in the future, how could she not be happy!
However, Zhao Shu said that he did not want the Zhao family's property, but he wanted to take away his mother's dowry.
His mother also wrote clearly in a letter that her dowry would be left to her biological son.
Zhao Mu was of course not happy about this and sneered, "Since you have been adopted, you are no longer Zheng's son. Her dowry has nothing to do with you."
Zhao Shu: "It is natural for a woman's dowry to be left to her children. I obeyed my mother's will and was adopted for self-protection. Doesn't my mother have the right to dispose of her dowry? She said it's mine, so it's mine. If Mr. Zhao refuses, I don't mind suing the government!"
Even if the matter was brought to the government, Zhao Mu would not be sure of winning.
After all, Zhao Shu had Zheng's handwritten letter in his hand. As he said, Zheng had the right to dispose of her dowry. It was her private property, not the property of the Zhao family.
