Chapter 1237: Learning

Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhao Ye looked so aggrieved. He wanted to say something but stopped. He became even more aggrieved, which made people feel even more distressed.

Zhao Zhai got even more annoyed seeing him like this. He sneered. “What are you looking like this for? People might think that I have done something to you! You have learned a lot from mom. It is no wonder mom loves you so much!”

“You!”

Zhao Ye felt so embarrassed. He could not stand that any more.

Ms. Qin got stabbed and snapped. “Just shut up! You are just talking nonsense!”

Zhao Zhai flushed too. He knew that he had said something wrong, and he felt guilty.

But he was not going to apologize. He was not going to do that!

But he did not dare to stay any longer. And he cursed as he left.

Ms. Qin got so angry that her eyes turned red. “What is wrong with him? How did he become like this?”

Zhao Ye forced a smile. “Mom, he did not do that on purpose. Don’t take it to heart.”

Ms. Qin snorted and felt even more disgusted by her eldest son.

Zhao Mu frowned and could not help but look at Ms. Qin, thinking.

Ms. Qin panicked and subconsciously tried to suck up to him. But on second thought, she realized that she was the only one with a son, and her son even had grandchildren. So what if she was not the official wife?

She was not in charge, and she had not the say in everything!

She was not like before. She should stand up straight and be on equal footing with Old Master. She did not need to suck up to him.

“Old Master, do you think we will be promoted to the next level today? We should be able to make a decision soon, right?”

Ms. Qin changed the topic directly.

Zhao Mu was absent-minded as if he had not heard that. Ms. Qin called him “Old Master” a few times before he realized what was going on.

Hearing Ms. Qin’s words, Zhao Mu waved his hands in irritation. “The governmental office has their own conclusion, and the Officer knows what to do. We will just wait and see.”

For some reason, Zhao Mu felt a bit uncertain. He had a hunch that he had made the wrong move.

Would this plan really work?

They seemed to have a sure bet, a shoo-in. But one thing was missing – the other party’s background.

Their rival could afford to buy 100,000 mu of mulberry fields, and they did not care about his identity as the richest man in Yangzhou. They must have something up their sleeves if they dared to attack the Zhao Family like this.

But he was so furious the day before. He had never been humiliated like this before, and he could not stand that any more. His son Zhao Ye was too fast, and before he could calm himself down, he had already gone to Strategist Yang at the governmental office and confirmed the whole thing. So he had no choice but stopped saying anything more.

Otherwise, he would be so humiliated when he made the complaint at the governmental office.

Also, Madame Shao was so annoying. She came to the Zhao Family as soon as she arrived at Yangzhou and she did not even care about the Zhao Family’s reputation. He needed to have a long-term reputation here in Yangzhou, alright?

She was going to cause him so much trouble!

But he was going to let her know that the Zhao Family was not to be trifled with, and he was not going to be humiliated by anyone.

He felt that his son was right.

What they had thought of so far was the best solution.

It was a warning, a first-step thing.
