Chapter 1262 This time I am really sad
When Zhao Mu asked Qin in private, he was not so polite. He shouted at her sternly and forced her to tell the truth.
Qin cried so hard that her eyes were wet and she was out of breath. She kept complaining and denying her grievances.
But she was used to acting like this in her daily life. No matter what happened, she would cry and complain about her grievances. Zhao Mu just thought it was her usual behavior and didn't believe it at all.
Seeing that she was still using this trick to deal with him at this time, he became even angrier. He slapped her twice and yelled at her, forcing her to admit it.
Qin covered her face and cried bitterly.
This time I am really sad.
How could the master not believe her? She didn't lie!
Why did no one believe her even though she said she could swear?
Qin couldn't understand why this happened.
Qin still had some backbone, or rather, at this moment, no matter how hard she was questioned, whether she admitted it or not, it didn't matter much.
The important thing is that Zhao Shu has Zheng’s dowry book in his hand, and he is waiting to get compensation tomorrow!
Even if it is half, it is definitely not a small number!
The Zheng family, which owns 100,000 acres of mulberry fields, needs no introduction to give a generous dowry to their only daughter.
Although the Zheng family had only owned the 100,000 acres of mulberry fields for three or four years when Zheng got married, they had still earned a huge amount of money.
Mr. Zhao was extremely annoyed, and became even more upset when he saw Qin crying again. He scolded her and put her under house arrest, ordering her not to leave the yard without necessary, and also not to allow Zhao Zhai, Zhao Ye and their wives to see her. He then called Zhao Zhai and Zhao Ye to discuss how to deal with Zhao Shu.
Zhao Zhai's ankle injury had not healed yet, so he was carried here in a rattan sedan chair.
Before Mr. Zhao could say anything, Zhao Zhai couldn't help but start cursing.
Calling Zhao Shu shameless, vicious, and shameless, why did he ask for money? Zheng's dowry was also the property of the Zhao family!
Although his vulgar-like yelling and cursing is of no use in solving the problem, I have to say it is quite refreshing to listen to.
Zhao Zhai and Zhao Ye are worthy of being Qin's sons. One learned Qin's character as a street rogue and shrew, and the other learned Qin's pretentious cleverness and tricks.
The father and his two sons could only count the silver that could be moved from the public treasury and have someone open the warehouse to take things out.
The next day, Zhao Mu tried to play the family card and said soft words to win him over, in order to fool the current situation. As long as the clan leader and elders left, it would be hard to say when the compensation would be given to Zhao Shu.
How could Zhao Shu be willing to drag things out with them?
Compensation must be paid, otherwise report it immediately to the authorities and let them investigate.
Stealing the mistress's dowry is no small matter!
Once the government opens a case and investigates, the Zhao family's reputation will be trampled on the ground.
Zhao Mu secretly hated him but had to give him the money.
In the end, Zhao Shu was compensated with 80,000 taels of silver, three large boxes of various antiques, porcelain, jade, jewelry, etc., with a total value of about 130,000 to 140,000 yuan.
It can be seen how generous Zheng’s dowry was back then!
The clan leader and other elders stared with their eyes wide open.
Zhao Shu took the banknotes and things and left the Zhao family without hesitation.
He was quite straightforward and gave the clan leader and others 12,000 taels of silver to divide among them, and allowed them to choose two items each from three large boxes.
The clan leader and elders were all overjoyed and smiled broadly. They treated Zhao Shu as one of their own and comforted and consoled him in various ways and were extremely affectionate.
