Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Xiao Wen is a good student. Don't let him be implicated because of this matter." Xiao Lan said.

Hearing that Xiaowen might be implicated, Zhang immediately lost her composure. She sat up from the kang and said, "No... I can't..."

Xiao Lan opened one eye, looked at Zhang, and then closed it again. It was necessary for her to scare Zhang with Xiao Wen's future at this time. If Cui and Lanhua came, Zhang would not be able to pretend anymore, and then the expected effect would not be achieved.

"If it were someone else, that would be impossible, but it's hard to say about those people in the old house. Is there anything they can't do?" Xiao Lan said.

"How did we end up with such a group of people? We are so unkind..." Zhang's tone became anxious now, "What should we do?"

"Mom, we'll just have to see what happens when the time comes..." Xiao Lan said.

Xiao Lan's words made Zhang unable to sleep. Xiao Lan said helplessly, "Mom, if there is anything tomorrow, just listen to me then."

But that night, it was not just Zhang who did not sleep well. Many people in the old house did not sleep all night.

The next morning, Xiaolan and Zhang had just finished their breakfast when someone came outside to report that Lanhua, Xu and Cui were there.

"They said they knew the Madam was sick, so they came to see her. I came over to tell them, and they are waiting outside the gate," Xiaoqing reported.

Xiao Lan nodded and praised her for doing a good job.

Lanhua and Xu came to visit her, which was nothing, but Cui also came. Even though Xiaolan told Zhang yesterday that Cui would come to visit her, Zhang was still surprised. "Xiaolan, what do you think we should do next?"

"Mom, let them in first and arrange them in the front hall..." Xiao Lan said.

Zhang was puzzled by Xiaolan's arrangement, and then asked, "Xiaolan, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Lan knew that Lanhua was very anxious, and Cui was not only anxious but also a little aggrieved. She must have felt that she had lowered her status by condescending to come here to visit her daughter-in-law.

Xiao Lan didn't care what they thought. She had made up her mind to let them wait.

"Mom, you must remember to be tougher. Don't be soft-hearted just because they pretend to be pitiful... You have to think about Xiaowen and our family..." Xiaolan whispered to Zhang.

"Okay, I understand." Zhang nodded, indicating that she remembered Xiaolan's words and would do everything according to her wishes.

Last night, Zhang didn't have a tax number. When she woke up in the morning, her face was pale and her eyes were bloodshot. It seemed that Zhang was really frightened by Xiao Lan's words. Xiao Lan felt very sorry for Zhang, but she thought that Zhang's current appearance was a blessing in disguise.

"Mom, you have to remember that you are still sick..." Xiao Lan instructed Zhang again.

Lanhua and Xu helped Cui rush to the front hall. Their anger rose several times and then died down. Then they were led to the inner courtyard to see Zhang.

Zhang was leaning against the blanket, and Xiao Lan was sitting beside her. When she saw Cui coming in, Zhang was about to stand up to greet her. Xiao Lan quickly stood up and helped Zhang back. "Mom, don't be so stubborn, you almost fainted again just now..." Xiao Lan said with concern.

"Yes, we are all family, there is no need to be so formal. Third son's wife, please sit down..." Lanhua said hurriedly.

Zhang took advantage of the situation and sat down steadily on the kang.

Xiao Lan asked the maid in the room to show them the seats. Lanhua wanted to help Cui sit on the kang, but the maid led her to sit on the chair next to her.

Cui was already feeling aggrieved coming here, and now she was asked to sit on a chair, which made her feel even more aggrieved. She had no choice today, and if there was any way, she didn't want to come here to humiliate Zhang. Old Master Jiasheng and her children, grandchildren, and daughters-in-law all sided with Xiaolan's family. Now her daughter needed help from Xiaolan's family. If she didn't come to help Lanhua, she was afraid that her only daughter would be alienated from her and even hate her.

Cui knew clearly that since their family came back from Hejian County, she and the old man still had the final say in the family because of the influence of Xiaolan's family. If Shengxuan's family didn't respect them and support them in the future, the family would probably fall apart.

She originally thought that Sheng Xuan's family was just pretending, but after getting along with them for a while, she realized that Sheng Xuan's family was truly filial, and because of this, she found fault with Xiao Lan's family even more. Because she believed that no matter how she treated Sheng Xuan, her son would not change his attitude towards her.

So what if Sheng Xuan changed? Cui had never thought about this question, and never dared to think about it.

This time, something happened at Lanhua's house, and Shengxuan was not at home. Look at how things have developed now... How can Cui not be afraid? Without Shengxuan, Xiaolan didn't even say anything or do anything. This family is willing to turn against Xiaolan for her sake...

Now her life and the lives of Lanhua's family are in their hands. In fact, they don't need to do anything at all, just ignore them...

Cui knew better than anyone the consequences of ignoring them, so she had to give in, not only for herself but also for her daughter.

She originally thought that Zhang would stop when she came, but at present, her hope and the actual situation were far apart. At this time, the old lady sat on the chair, feeling very uncomfortable and like a thorn in her back. She wanted to give up her job immediately and go back to the old house directly... But she couldn't and didn't dare to just walk away.

Xiaolan fed Zhang the medicine slowly. They were not in a hurry at all. Cui sat there blankly, while Xu lowered her head, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible. Compared with the two of them, Lanhua was the most anxious and could not afford to waste time.

"The third daughter-in-law, Xiaolan," Lanhua stood up and smiled, "There are many things in the past... I just know them now... To be honest, I really feel bad..." Lanhua said this and glanced at the old lady. At this point, Cui was obviously unwilling to admit her mistakes, so she had to come. Lanhua finally understood that if Cui didn't admit her mistakes, she would not pay any attention to them.
