Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1246: Insolent

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Brother Grumpy” glared at the couple with disdain. “Officer, you can deal with these unruly individuals, administer appropriate punishments, and interrogate them. There’s no need for us to engage in conversation with them.”

Before he could finish his sentence, Uncle Qing’s men erupted in protest. “What? Young Master Zhao suggesting confessions through torture?”

“How dare the Zhao Family make such an outrageous statement in public!”

“No wonder Young Master Zhao had to leave his home. Who would want to return to such a hostile environment? His life is in danger in that mansion!”

“I couldn’t agree more!”

Zhao Zhai felt his anxiety rising and lashed out at the others. “Silence!”

The officer snapped back, “How dare you raise your voice in court! Zhao Zhai, your arrogance knows no bounds!”

The officer inwardly cursed his luck; this man was nowhere near as respectable as Second Young Master Zhao, and he constantly complained that his parents favored his sibling.

Any family would favor a son like Second Young Master Zhao!

If it weren’t for the Zhao Family’s influence, the officer would have wasted no time in dragging Zhao Zhai down and disciplining him.

Yet, Zhao Zhai found himself growing increasingly infuriated as he considered that Zhao Ye, not he, should have been the true culprit.

Irritated Brother had earned his nickname for a reason. Under Uncle Qing’s intimidation and Zhao Zhai’s ill-chosen words, they tarnished not only their own reputations but also that of Ms. Qin.

Zhao Zhai wasn’t foolish. He soon realized he had been manipulated by Uncle Qing and couldn’t help but hurl insults at him, accusing him of being deceitful and underhanded.

This outburst, filled with rage and obscenities, only worsened matters for him and the Zhao Family.

All eyes turned downward, their gaze fixed on him. Was this the demeanor of Old Master Zhao’s eldest son? Young Master Zhao seemed to be in a pitiable state.

Just then, Zhao Shu made his entrance.

Zhao Zhai was left dumbfounded and sharply asked, “What brings you here?”

Despite the recent family dispute involving his parents and brother, when facing Zhao Shu, Zhao Zhai felt like the outsider.

Initially, the entire family had assumed that Zhao Shu would not return home, so when they saw him, it was a genuine shock.

In response to Zhao Shu’s words, the onlookers’ expressions underwent a noticeable change.

“Do you welcome her return or not?”

“Of course not. Young Master Zhao, you can’t let them spread unfounded rumors upon your return!”

“Absolutely!”

Laughter erupted among those present.

Zhao Zhai’s expression darkened. He resented Zhao Shu for appearing unexpectedly and causing him to utter the wrong words.

Internally, Zhao Shu couldn’t help but sneer. He shot a glance at Zhao Zhai, then knelt down in front of the officer, explaining that he had rushed back because he was concerned about Uncle Qing. Upon hearing about the situation, he had promptly headed to the governmental office.

With the culprit now present, the case was poised to be resolved much more easily.

The officer quickly grasped the full picture of the situation.

When it came to the impact of Zhao Shu’s presence, Uncle Qing and the Zhao Family couldn’t hope to measure up.

Zhao Zhai, utterly shocked and disoriented by his brother’s sudden appearance, exclaimed, “Have you lost your mind? No one authorized you to sell it!”

Amusement danced in Zhao Shu’s eyes as he calmly replied, “The mulberry garden belongs to my grandparents, and they passed it on to my mother, who, in turn, handed it down to me. All the land contracts are in my possession, and I have every right to sell it whenever I wish. Is there a problem with that?”
