However, he intended to do so today, with the chief as a witness, to prevent any potential denial or interference from Old Master Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Mu's expression darkened, and he refrained from further comment, determined to maintain his composure in the presence of the family's elders and leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ms. Zheng's dowry was exceptionally generous, and even if this ungrateful son took only half of it, she would still be left with a substantial sum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ms. Qin's heart ached. She sided with Old Master's perspective – Zhao Shu was an adopted member of the family, and the dowry rightfully belonged to the Zhao Family as a whole. She wanted to voice her opinion, but Zhao Shu's derogatory term, \"concubine,\" silenced her, reminding her of her subordinate position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To speak up would only invite further humiliation from Zhao Shu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, when they began to inventory Ms. Zheng's dowry in her chambers and storage area, they discovered it had vanished. It wasn't a complete disappearance; according to the dowry ledger, all the valuable items had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, Zhao Mu turned to Ms. Qin, prompting the chief and the others to follow suit, their expressions laced with suspicion and disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>22:46\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What remained were less valuable items such as silk and satin, vases, and large pieces of furniture. The precious items, including gold, silver, jewelry, exquisite jade artifacts, a valuable fur coat, yellow rosewood furniture, sixteen or twelve double-sided embroidered screens, and renowned calligraphy and paintings from a bygone dynasty, had all mysteriously disappeared. There was scarcely anything left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's happening here? How did this happen?\" Zhao Shu's expression shifted from shock to anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Mu was equally bewildered, his face contorted in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chief and the others present shared the same astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Master Zhao, can you provide an explanation for this?\" Zhao Shu's outward fury concealed his inner amusement; his mother had indeed been astute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bit by bit, the dowry items had been discreetly moved out of the Zhao Mansion. It appeared that Zhao Mu had been completely oblivious to these developments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ms. Qin, too, seemed clueless about the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infuriated, Zhao Mu exclaimed, \"I have no idea what's going on! I didn't do this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Shu sneered sarcastically, \"So we're not at the Zhao Mansion right now, and you claim ignorance? Who has overseen the Inner Residence all these years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, Zhao Mu turned to Ms. Qin, prompting the chief and the others to follow suit, their expressions laced with suspicion and disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she have the audacity to pilfer the dowry of the family's matriarch? In their eyes, it was an act unbefitting someone of her limited worldly experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ms. Qin never anticipated being accused of such a crime and was visibly taken aback. \"I don't know! I didn't do it! I didn't take anything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a mocking tone, Zhao Shu retorted, \"Is that so? Did my mother's dowry simply vanish into thin air?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could I possibly know?\" Ms. Qin's anger flared as she replied, \"The door has always been locked, and no one has ever opened it. How could I have any knowledge of what transpired?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Shu smirked, provoking her further, \"Interesting! So because the door was always locked, no one could have entered, is that your claim?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frustration surged within Ms. Qin as she exclaimed, \"I don't know, but I swear I had nothing to do with it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panic gripped her as she struggled to make her innocence clear, despite being completely baffled by the unfolding situation.\u003C\u002Fp>",624,"2026-06-03T12:01:03.519Z","2026-06-03T12:01:07.226Z",1,"novelbin.me","adb1d43ec304452b8263c642feab0e62e4e126284925349f78db1076e5354f28","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1261","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1259",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
