Chapter 1268 Forget It
"We can't let him get away with it so easily!"
Zhao Ye also advised: "Dad, this is indeed too much. Three and a half million silver is not a small amount. We should at least give us some time to discuss it. How can you ask for so much all at once?"
Zhao Mu's heart moved. What the second brother said made sense. In this way, he could plan slowly and delay it as long as possible. Now that things have started, it will be easier to do later.
If it drags on for ten or eight years, it’s hard to say whether it will end up in nothing.
However, thinking of Mrs. Shao, who always spoke slowly and with a smile on her face, yet made people dare not neglect her easily, Zhao Mu felt a little unsure.
This person's origins are so mysterious!
Zhao Ye said, "Father, how about I go to the government office to ask for more information?"
This is a good idea. Zhao Mu was relieved and nodded: "Go!"
"Okay, Dad, wait for my good news!"
Zhao Zhai, who was still limping and needed someone to support him, looked at them with jealousy and bitterness, sneering slightly: "Our family lost the lawsuit so badly, and the prefect obviously can't afford to offend them. I think it's better not to waste this effort!"
Although he also hated Zhao Shu for being so ruthless in betraying his own family, he couldn't help but look down on Zhao Ye when he saw him being so proud, and he had to say something sarcastic.
However, every time he made these sarcastic remarks, besides mocking Zhao Ye, he also seemed to be deliberately going against his father Zhao Mu, which always made Zhao Mu very angry.
This time too.
Zhao Mu was already upset about this matter, and the second brother was able to come up with ideas and run away. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he had tried his best.
It means that he has me as his father in his heart and that he cares about me.
The boss, not only does he not contribute, he also makes sarcastic remarks!
Zhao Mu glared at him angrily and scolded: "Shut up! Your second brother is at least thinking about the family, what about you? You can't do anything but speak rudely. What's the logic of this! Get out of here!"
Zhao Zhai was angry and hateful, and was kicked out of the study by his father in a miserable state.
He stood outside the study and stared at the closed door for a long time, then left angrily with gnashing teeth.
Why didn't he help? How could he not care about the family matters? It's just that his foot was injured and it was inconvenient.
Zhao Ye came back soon after, looking dejected.
Obviously, the start was not good.
The master didn't tell him directly, but only said meaningfully, "Everything has rules. Isn't it good to follow the rules and save a lot of trouble?"
What he didn't tell his father was that he spent a hundred taels of silver just to get these two words out of his lawyer's mouth.
The master's heart is getting darker and darker!
Zhao Mu didn't say anything for a long time.
The next day, he handed over property worth 3.5 million and the divorce agreement with Zheng to Qiao Xuan. After Qiao Xuan had it appraised and checked, he smiled and readily handed over all ten IOUs to him.
The 3.5 million in property included two farms of 26,000 acres and a mountain land of 53,000 acres, worth 550,000.
Silver note of 550,000.
Both houses are located in good locations in Yangzhou City, one covers an area of 12 acres and the other 16 acres, with a total value of 400,000.
The rest was paid off with various antiques and collectibles.
In short, we are even.
Seeing such a huge fortune being taken away, Zhao Mu felt so heartbroken as if there was a void in his heart, and his face was as dark as iron.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Master Zhao should be happy. It was originally supposed to be seven million taels, but now it's been cut in half. Really speaking, Master Zhao didn't suffer any loss at all!"
