Ms. Qin’s face lit up with joy. “Once we secure the mulberry garden, we can finally bring that rascal home. He’s holding onto a substantial amount of money, and we can’t allow him to keep it without compensation. It rightfully belongs to us!”

Zhao Ye fully supported his mother’s sentiments, seeing nothing amiss in her words. He nodded in agreement.

The thought of the fortune in Zhao Shu’s possession troubled Ms. Qin deeply. “Mother is absolutely right; we must bring him back!”

Zhao Ye was determined not to let him exploit their situation.

The entire family shared in this sweet dream.

The next day, they couldn’t openly visit the mulberry garden to observe the situation, so they dispatched trusted servants to discreetly keep an eye on things.

When Uncle Qing was taken into custody by the authorities, he appeared remarkably composed and cooperative. Instead of being forcibly apprehended, he willingly entered the carriage.

Zhao Ye and Ms. Qin couldn’t help but feel disappointed upon hearing this news. In their imagination, Uncle Qing should have been escorted out of the mansion by guards.

“Why are they treating him so courteously? It’s astonishing! Money certainly changes everything. He must have spent a considerable sum on his treatment,” Ms. Qin remarked, drawing her conclusions.

After a brief discussion, Zhao Mu and his son found themselves in agreement.

Zhao Zhai sneered and directed his words at Zhao Ye. “You’re trying to save face too, aren’t you? You told Strategist Yang yesterday that no amount of money is enough for Zheng Qing.”

Zhao Ye smiled confidently. “Our victory hinges on delivering them to the authorities; the rest doesn’t matter. We can demonstrate our generosity once they’re in government custody.”

Zhao Zhai couldn’t hide his frustration, feeling his irritation surge. This rascal was always so composed and self-assured, and he had a justification for everything he did. It was infuriating! Each time he attempted to undermine him, it seemed like he was the one getting torn apart.

When he was feeling so annoyed, his parents nodded in agreement. “Ye is right! That is true!”

Zhao Ye said, “Actually, I don’t know anything. It is my parents who tell me about this. They taught me well!”

He was so modest!

Zhao Zhai took a deep breath and sneered. “But only Zheng Qing was taken away from the governmental office, not the Shao Family. Madame Shao and even the servants from the Shao Family were not taken away. Are you sure that you and Strategist Yang have explained everything clearly?”

Ms. Qin could not stand that any more. She frowned. “What do you mean, Zhai? Your brother has been working so hard to get the deal done, and you think he is not satisfied? You are picking on him on purpose, aren’t you?”

Zhao Ye added. “Mom, that is not what I meant. Don’t misunderstand me!”

Zhao Zhai could not stand that any more. He got up and glared at Ms. Qin. “Yes, yes, he is good at everything, and I am not good at anything! What is he trying to do? I can do these things too, did you let me do them? He gets to do all the good things, pushes all the trouble to me, and lectures me for being stupid and unreliable!”

“You can just drive me out of the family if you don’t like me! Now you are satisfied, aren’t you?”

“What are you talking about?”

Ms. Qin shivered in anger.

Zhao Ye added. “Brother, stop it, mom will be so sad if you do that. Apologize to mom!”

“Shut up you two-faced, double-dealing!” Zhao Zhai could not stand that any more. He pointed at Zhao Ye and cursed.freeweɓnovel.cøm
