Kapitel 1260: Half

Even though Zhao Shu was not legally recognized as her son, she still had the authority to bestow her dowries upon him if she wished.

Ultimately, after some negotiation, Zhao Shu reluctantly consented to claim only half of his mother's dowry. However, he intended to do so today, with the chief as a witness, to prevent any potential denial or interference from Old Master Zhao.

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.

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.
