Chapter 1260 Why Should I Give Him Half?
Even though Zhao Shu was no longer her son in name, she could still give the dowry to Zhao Shu as long as she was willing.
Finally, under the mediation of the clan, Zhao Shu reluctantly agreed and only took away half of his mother's dowry.
But he had to count and take away the items today and now, in the presence of the clan leader and others. Otherwise, who knew whether Master Zhao would admit it later or whether he would try to obstruct him in every possible way?
Zhao Mu's face looked extremely ugly. He snorted coldly but said nothing.
He cannot lose his composure in front of the clan leader and elders!
Zheng's dowry was very generous, so even if this unfilial son took half of it, she would still have made a profit.
Qin felt a little heartbroken. She felt that what the master said was right. Since Zhao Shu was adopted, the dowry of the mistress of the Zhao family also belonged to the Zhao family. What did it have to do with him, who was adopted?
Why should I give him half?
If this had happened before, she would have shouted it out long ago.
However, she was quite irritated by Zhao Shu's repeated calling her "concubine" before. She knew that she had no right to speak in such occasions, so how could she dare to open her mouth?
If she dared to speak, Zhao Shu would definitely humiliate her by calling her a concubine.
Unexpectedly, when everyone opened the yard where Zheng used to live and the warehouses on the back to count Zheng's dowry, they found that Zheng's dowry was missing!
It’s not that all the dowry is gone, but, after comparing the dowry booklet, all the valuable things are gone!
What was left in large part were inexpensive silks and satins, vases, large pieces of furniture, gold and silver jewelry, jade curios, whole pieces of fine fur, large sixteen or twelve-panel double-sided embroidered screens with frames made of precious wood such as huanghuali, calligraphy and paintings by celebrities of the previous dynasties, etc. There was almost nothing left.
"What's going on! How could this happen?!"
Zhao Shu was shocked and angry.
Zhao Mu was also dumbfounded.
The clan leader and others were all shocked.
"Master Zhao, won't you give me an explanation?"
Zhao Shu was filled with rage, but he was actually laughing like crazy inside.
Damn, that was really prescient.
The dowry had been moved out of the Zhao Mansion silently, slowly, and bit by bit. It seemed that Zhao Mu didn't know anything about it!
Not only him, Qin also probably doesn't know.
Zhao Mu was filled with anger: "How should I know what happened! It wasn't me!"
Zhao Shu sneered: "After all, this was not seen in the Zhao Mansion. Master Zhao wants to brush it off by saying he didn't know? Who has been in charge of the inner house these years?"
Zhao Mu subconsciously looked towards Qin.
The clan leaders and others all looked at Qin with suspicion, unfriendly eyes, and some with contempt and disdain.
How dare you steal the mistress's dowry!
However, you know what, someone like Qin, who has never seen the world, would really do such a thing once she gains power.
Qin never expected that this matter would be blamed on her, and she was immediately shocked.
"I, I don't know either! No, it wasn't me, I didn't take anything!"
Zhao Shu sneered and said sarcastically, "Really? Then my mother's dowry disappeared out of thin air?"
"How should I know!" Qin said angrily: "This courtyard door has been locked all the time and no one has ever opened it. How should I know what's going on?"
Zhao Shu: "That's really interesting! Just because the gate to the yard has been locked, does that mean no one has ever come in?"
Qin was so angry and frustrated that she said, "I don't know, but it wasn't me! I can swear!"
She was a little panicked. This matter really had nothing to do with her, but she couldn't explain it clearly.
