Chapter 1611: Zhao Shu’s Injustice

Having someone like Zhao Shu around, even ten more wouldn’t suffice to handle those individuals.

It was akin to assisting people in counting their money after they had been sold.

Zhao Shu was momentarily taken aback. He didn’t sense any derogation of his intelligence; instead, he responded cheerfully, “Yes, I understand. Thank you for your concern, Fifth Brother!”

Shao Yunduan, “…”

Qiao Xuan suppressed a laugh. “We’re aware of what’s happening in Anze Province, so don’t worry. And if you happen to visit Shaoding Village, keep this matter to yourself and don’t inform your family.”

The couple had meticulously prepared for the move. As Imperial Court officials, they could potentially face threats and attempts at control from the bandits. However, until they were pushed to a point of no return, their lives remained relatively secure. Even in the worst-case scenario, they could escape unharmed.

Not revealing such matters to their families was a precautionary step, preventing any unnecessary worry or misinterpretation.

Casting a guilty glance at Shao Yunduan, Zhao Shu assured, “Sister-in-law, rest assured, I won’t breathe a word to anyone.”

Qiao Xuan nodded, offering a smile. “Once we settle there and prosper, I’ll invite you to join us in our prosperity, Zhao Shu!”

Zhao Shu’s joy knew no bounds. “Certainly, Sister-in-law! Thank you!”

Both Fifth Brother and Sister-in-law treated him well, always offering support regardless of the circumstances. As for the opportunity to strike it rich in the less-than-ideal locale of Anze Province, Zhao Shu didn’t dwell on it. His thought process was simple: if Sister-in-law said an opportunity to make a fortune would come, then it would come. If she needed money, he would provide it; if she required assistance, he would willingly follow suit.

At this juncture, even Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing couldn’t help but be moved. Life, it seemed, was often a matter of luck.

In the past, when their Young Master was still present, he would frequently jest and express concerns about his kind and naive nature. He feared that safeguarding such substantial family wealth in the future might prove challenging.

Whether or not he could protect it wasn’t the primary concern. What troubled Aunt Qing the most was the possibility that, instead of safeguarding the wealth, he might inadvertently bring disaster due to his vast assets. She had devised a plan for such a scenario. When the time came, she intended to discreetly relinquish some of their assets, investing in precious antiques and accumulating more gold and silver. They would maintain a low-key lifestyle, avoiding unnecessary exposure.

Unexpectedly, her departure happened so swiftly that she couldn’t make any arrangements for him. Besides bequeathing a considerable number of trustworthy individuals,

What was even more surprising was that he had amassed wealth surpassing that of the Zhao Family. The funds seamlessly integrated into the family’s coffers, attracting little attention.

No matter how unassuming he might be, with Lord Shao and Madam Shao by his side, no one could dare mistreat him. It was evident that he could lead a worry-free life.

In addition to expressing gratitude, Zhao Shu also bid his farewells.

The patriarch of the Zhao family had sent him a letter, urging him to return for the New Year as there was an important matter to discuss.

Granting due respect to the family patriarch, he had agreed to spend the New Year with Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, but his departure would be inevitable.

While Shao Yunduan was indifferent to the situation, he silently wished for Zhao Shu’s departure.
