Chapter 2064: Finally Revenge
When Zhao Shu caught sight of Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, his demeanor resembled that of reuniting with his own kin. His eyes gleamed with affection, leaving Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan pleasantly baffled by his exuberance.
They couldn’t fathom why this somewhat eccentric young master radiated such joy.
Taotao found herself torn between laughter and tears, swiftly offering an explanation with a smile.
For Zhao Shu, this encounter evoked excitement and heartfelt emotions. He finally felt vindicated for his mother’s sake! He attributed this stroke of fortune to the benevolence of the Shao family, believing their influence facilitated everything going smoothly.
Thus, upon seeing Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, he felt akin to reuniting with his own family.
Despite Jiangnan being embroiled in the princes’ internal conflict, it remained affluent and tranquil.
After deliberation with Uncle Qing and their associates, they devised contingency plans and safeguards against unforeseen circumstances. Precious assets had already been identified and clandestinely buried in a secluded cellar.
Should any adversity arise, they could promptly flee and seek refuge with Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan.
Curiously, both parties harbored the same inclination. It seemed only natural to turn to Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law in times of distress.
Finding solace with Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law felt like the safest option.
Given the current circumstances, venturing to the capital was out of the question for Zhao Shu. With no pressing matters at hand, he found himself with ample free time, thus he decided to accompany Taotao on explorations around Jiangnan.
The bustling towns no longer held their appeal; instead, they found themselves drawn to the quaint villages scattered throughout the region.
Taotao, in particular, developed a keen interest in these locales, often expressing a desire to purchase them when she came across promising sites. As a result, Zhao Shu and Taotao traversed Jiangnan, acquiring several plots of land along the way.
During their ventures into various villages and towns, Zhao Shu stumbled upon a coachman who had vanished without a trace following his mother’s accident in a rural area near Jin Ling.
Unwilling to let this opportunity slip, Zhao Shu promptly apprehended the coachman. Through a series of intimidation and interrogation, the coachman eventually divulged everything.
Indeed, it was Ms. Qin who orchestrated the scheme. As for Zhao Mu’s involvement, Zhao Shu suspected his complicity.
Even if Zhao Mu wasn’t directly implicated, he likely turned a blind eye or even facilitated Ms. Qin’s machinations in secret.
After all, Ms. Qin was merely a concubine, while his mother possessed astute intellect. It seemed implausible that Ms. Qin could orchestrate such a scheme without assistance.
With Zhao Mu’s complicity, the situation took a stark turn…
Fueled by grief and righteous indignation, Zhao Shu confronted the coachman, venting his frustrations through physical force before dragging him back to Ms. Qin and Zhao Mu.
Even in the face of damning evidence, Ms. Qin remained steadfast in her denial, dismissing the coachman’s claims as baseless accusations concocted to tarnish her reputation. She insinuated that Zhao Shu harbored personal animosity towards her and orchestrated this charade to discredit her.
Unyielding in his resolve, Zhao Shu threatened Zhao Mu, vowing to escalate the matter to the authorities and present the coachman’s testimony as evidence. With credible witnesses, a thorough investigation might uncover the truth of the past, leaving Ms. Qin with nowhere to hide.
Panicked by the prospect of Zhao Shu involving the government, Zhao Mu scrambled to prevent such a course of action.
Even Ms. Qin found herself bewildered by the unfolding events. Despite her staunch defiance, the prospect of facing official scrutiny left her visibly unnerved.
